Mystery: Lucky

Evelin was underground at St. Samuel's Church when she heard Alice's voice:

"Have you ever seen a book in Sylvia?

"Or have you ever heard of someone named Cassandra?"

The picture that came along with this sentence was a book with an ocean blue cover, with silver runes looming on it.

Have you ever seen...?

Evelin tried to recall the image of Sylvia in her memory.

Gentle, kind, patient...

She didn't remember such a book existed.

However, what she remembered...

It happened to be the day she met the terrifying monster, which was actually the first time she and Sylvia met. Sylvia, dressed in black robe, passed her by, but stopped suddenly.

"Oh, look what I saw? A young bird." Sylvia said to her. "The thin little tree cannot take away the sunlight from the towering giant tree, but it uses the chicks living on its crown as a Threats, pathetic, kid.”

Few people would be indifferent to such words. Even if they didn't trust them, they would stop and see what the person who spoke like that looked like.

Evelyn, who was already interested in the occult, was no exception. She turned back and pursued the source of the sound with curiosity and doubts.

Sylvia stood still, turned around and smiled at her, drew a circular pattern on her chest with her fingers, and said in a gentle tone:

"May Cassandra bless you."

She wasn't sure which part Alice needed, but she had already realized the ambiguous relationship between Alice and the Church of Night. She didn't leave the underground. She just found an excuse to go to the bathroom to be alone, and then transferred the shadows in her memory. The image was passed on.

Alice, who received the message, was... sleeping with Do Not Disturb turned on.

After disappearing from Selwyn's presence, Alice... Alice, of course, went to eat.

After filling three different stomachs with meals, snacks, and desserts, Alice started stuffing ice cream into her fourth stomach.

"As we all know, people have four stomachs..." Alice murmured to herself as she walked, "Well, can the 'Faceless Man' really have four stomachs later on?"

This weird thought made her thoughts pause for a moment. Alice thought of the two fake eyes on Klein's face and thought that at least the current "faceless man" should not be able to do such a thing.

As for the latter part... it's probably similar to whether Amon can steal the gastric mucosa.

——It should be possible to do it, but without this knowledge, it may be shaped into strange shapes.

For example, someone may not understand the human body structure and put an eye on the back of the head and a mouth on the palm of the hand...

Alice imagined the scene for a moment, finished the ice cream in her mouth in a few mouthfuls, and then walked home expressionlessly.

Her appetite disappeared.

After eating, Alice finally got down to business. She issued her first relatively normal "oracle" and then went directly to sleep in the interference-free mode...

When I saw the news, it was already the next day.

Evelin sent that memory along with the time. After Alice read the memory, she murmured to herself:

"It seems like watching a video...why doesn't she add subtitles and text explanation to the video?"

It was obviously impossible to get an answer to this question, so Alice could only regard the figure wearing a black robe but with highlights as Sylvia.

It is worth mentioning that Sylvia's voice was not as hoarse and unpleasant as that of the mysterious man that day - of course, the mysterious man's voice was obviously a disguise.

Alice shook her head, not thinking about this issue in detail, and focused on Sylvia's words.

Based on the actual situation, Alice can easily interpret Sylvia's inexplicable words. Coupled with her last sentence "May Cassandra bless you", Alice has almost given Sylvia's heart. Ya sentenced to death.

The context of the whole matter has been basically clear, and the core point is the mysterious book calling itself "Cassandra".

Whether it was Selwyn or the unlucky guy who prayed that day, they were both obviously victims. Only Sylvia made Alice unsure of the specific situation.

——Is she a complicit perpetrator or a manipulated puppet?

Or...a combination of both?

After Alice looked at the breakfast and thought about it for a long time, she finally remembered something in a daze:

"Do I... still have to go to class?"

This is a very serious question. Alice temporarily put aside the investigation of the Cassandra series of incidents and decided to return to the "Golden Dream" first.

She was indeed late.

Alice pretended to have slept and walked over silently, but Edwina did not criticize her too harshly. She just called her away alone after the teaching was over and asked her:

"You came to me...from the beginning to find information about the main ingredients of your potion, right?"

In fact, this can basically be regarded as a fact. Alice could not refute it. She lowered her head and said:

"Actually, part of the reason may be that some people think I am too idle..."

Alice didn't say who it was because she wasn't sure whether naming Gehrman or Mr. Fool here could be called a correct decision.

——As a secretive organization, this seems a bit too ostentatious.

Edwina only glanced at Alice and made a reasonable guess - it was probably because the adults in the family couldn't teach her any more.

However, there is one thing that Edwina has been curious about for a long time:

"It should have been quite some time since you swallowed that zero-level sealed object. Even if not, I think you are probably...not a very quiet child?"

Alice nodded hesitantly.

"Why have I never heard of your... um, deeds?" Edwina asked slightly curiously.

Alice swallowed.

"Alice?" Edwina called her in confusion.

Alice swallowed hard and said with firm eyes:

"I didn't do any of this, I was wronged!"

"?" Edwina looked at Alice and fell into deep thought.

Fortunately, Alice still had the last bit of sense. She didn't say such nonsense as "it was all Amon's fault", but quickly changed the subject:

"Anyway, I think I might have to look for potion ingredients next...and make some money."

Edwina seemed to have been mentally prepared for this. She easily accepted the matter and reminded her:

"Don't forget your reward... Well, if you really don't know how to get around the 'Hidden Sage', there is actually another thing that I am equally interested in."

"What?" Alice asked doubtfully.

Edwina's eyes fell on her with deep meaning and said:

"What exactly is the zero-level sealed object you swallowed? Why do you still need the Sequence 4 potion?" (End of this chapter)
