Mystery: Lucky

"Not necessarily," Klein said. "We can also leave Tingen City for the time being, and then avoid the official's sight while looking for ways to change our faces... Well, we still need to prepare identification documents."

Looking at Klein who was still confused, Alice pursed her lips and said, "Klein, Mr. Azik...you guys, be careful with 0-08, be careful with Ince Zangwill."

The name on the wanted poster suddenly awakened Klein's memory, and he and Azik looked at Alice together.

"...0-08 can make written stories come true," Alice explained softly, "Ince Zangwill used 0-08 to create a coincidence. His target should be the Nighthawks headquarters in Tingen City. ...Maybe something in the headquarters?"

"...The ashes of St. Selena!" After completing the information, Klein immediately thought of the answer.

Alice looked at Klein in confusion, and meeting Alice's gaze, Klein explained: "Ince Zangwill is the 'gatekeeper' who failed to be promoted, and behind the Chanis Gate in Tingen City is Saint Sai. The ashes of Lina, who was a Sequence 4 Saint of the 'Sleepless One' path during her lifetime..."

"So, 'Gatekeeper' is Sequence 5 of the 'Sleepless One' pathway?" Alice guessed.

"No," Klein continued to explain, "'Gatekeeper' is Sequence 5 of the 'Corpse Collector' pathway. Similar sequences can be interchanged at higher sequences..."

Alice suddenly understood, she finally understood the purpose of Ince Zangwill - he needed the ashes of Saint Selina to become a demigod!

…

After confirming that Klein was not as stupid as Alice in this regard, at least he would not run up to the Nighthawks for fear that his resurrection from the dead would not be discovered, Azik brought "Be careful 0- 08 and Ince Zangwill” warning left here.

Alice and Klein, who were left behind, looked at each other and fell into silence.

The previous unexpected incident diluted the emotions of the two people, and they did not even bother to sort out each other's situation. It was not until Mr. Azik left that Alice remembered the goddess's warning and that Klein was not the same as her when he woke up. Same situation.

"Have you seen the goddess?" Alice asked softly.

"No, why do you ask this suddenly?" Klein looked at Alice in confusion.

"Well... because I suddenly remembered that the reasons why we came back from the dead should be inconsistent." Alice held up her chin and looked at Klein, saying what she had not revealed to Azik, "Someone... no , there is an unknown existence that erases the part of my death from my destiny.”

Klein was slightly startled. He guessed that his resurrection after death was because of the mysterious palace, and he should have been resurrected once before. But how did Alice know such detailed things?

"The goddess told me that before I woke up from this body, there was an unknown existence that erased the traces of the original owner's existence on the fate of this body." Alice explained while looking at Klein's confused eyes.

The description of "this body" made Klein frown, and he felt a subtle discomfort, but his attention was still focused on another thing: "Goddess?"

"Yes, goddess." Alice looked at Klein and drew a crimson moon symbol on her chest with four dots. This was the most sincere prayer she had made since she woke up.

Klein's pupils shrank slightly. They all knew what this meant - Alice had been a favored one of the night since she woke up, but he had another question: "Wake up?"

"..." Alice looked at Klein, and she thought of the airtight space that tightly wrapped her, of Megoose who died so ridiculously, of the first lucky person, of Megoose To the unknown voice in her ears before she died, she heard herself respond in an ethereal and confused voice, "I suspect that before this, I had woken up somewhere else."

Without waiting for Klein to answer, Alice continued: "You are no longer a Nighthawk. I can tell you the answer to your previous question."

Klein was stunned for a moment before he realized what question Alice was talking about. He couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in his heart. The not-so-strong sadness was quickly dispelled by Alice's voice: "Have you heard about extraordinary characteristics? The law of immortality?”

"What is that?" Klein asked cooperatively.

"Extraordinary characteristics will not be destroyed or reduced, they will only be transferred from one carrier to another... To be honest, this thing sounds really like the law of conservation of mass and energy." Alice said what she first heard. I just want to complain about this law.

Klein ignored Alice's complaints and chewed the words softly, having a bad premonition: "Could the alternative material be..."

"The relics left behind after the death of the Extraordinary can be used as the main material for potions... just like Ince Zangwill needs the ashes of Saint Selina." Alice calmly filled in the last piece of the puzzle.

"So, how did you know this?" Klein had an even worse premonition.

The familiar smile on Alice's face seemed to confirm his guess. He heard Alice's voice: "...When I just woke up, a lucky person from Sequence 7 fell to death in front of me."

"Lucky, fell to death?" Klein repeated this sentence. He could fully imagine what happened next. Alice swallowed the extraordinary characteristics and accidentally became an extraordinary person - this is what he knew, but he didn't understand why a lucky person would fall to death.

"Do you know how Megose died?" Alice asked, looking at his unbelievable expression.

Hearing the question, Klein suddenly remembered that this fellow countryman and former colleague had seen Ince Zangwill - this meant that Megose was dead, but she obviously didn't have the ability to kill the child in Megose's belly, so he had to ask: "...How did she die?"

"After killing you, Megose rushed towards me..." Alice recounted the weird scene, "Then, she fell, and when she fell, the bone knife was right across her stomach, cutting her in half..."

"..."This incredible answer made the atmosphere on the scene silent again. They looked at each other and read solemnity in each other's eyes.

After a long while, Alice forced a smile and said in a self-deprecating tone: "Look at the bright side, at least I can go to Pritz Harbor to find the Beyonder of the 'monster' path, right?"

"I seem to suddenly understand what a 'clown' is." Looking at Alice's smile, Klein suddenly said.
