Mystery: Lucky

"...Why don't you speak?" After Klein finished his last sentence, Alice kept staring at Klein without saying a word, which made Klein couldn't help but ask.

"Are you scolding me?" Alice asked seriously.

"Why do you say that?" Klein carefully recalled what was wrong with his words.

"You seem to be saying that I am like a clown..." Alice realized that she had misunderstood Klein's meaning, and she explained, "Well, I judge others by myself, and that's what I would say."

"...I really just suddenly thought of the code of acting!" Klein emphasized seriously.

"Hmm... So are you going to start acting?" Alice responded perfunctorily and changed the subject.

"I...that's not right," Klein looked at Alice as if he suddenly remembered something, "Why can you see me?"

Alice fell silent. She did not ignore this question deliberately, but the answer to this matter was obvious: "If that unknown existence can wake me up as Alice and bring me back to life... Then, when I resurrect , it’s not a strange thing to solve this matter by the way, right?”

"...Would a great being pay attention to such a trivial matter?" Klein couldn't understand it.

"Maybe it's not a great existence? After all, even my name was chosen by others... Ha." Alice's face showed clear disgust, and she hated this involuntary powerlessness.

After personally experiencing the pain of death and the pain of watching a friend die, the pain that originally belonged to Shen Yinghuan that he recalled seemed to suddenly fall into place. Alice could no longer enjoy her fate with peace of mind, and she gradually developed a desire to control her own destiny.

Klein was slightly startled. He couldn't comment on this. He knew how annoying that feeling was. This was how he felt when he was helpless in the face of the coincidences 0-08 created time and time again.

Alice looked at the silent Klein and said with a smile: "Let's change the topic... Well, first of all, I think that although you have realized what a 'Joker' should be like,... I am this kind of person. ,And you?"

"I understand what you mean, I'm just pretending, right?" Klein immediately understood what Alice wanted to say.

"It's good that you know, then the next thing..." Alice's expression suddenly became serious, "Have you thought about how to hide your appearance?"

"Ah?" Klein blinked blankly, "I can wear a pair of glasses and grow a beard..."

Klein suddenly fell silent. He realized that Alice must have thought of this - you know, girls can't grow beards...

"What...are you going to do?" Klein asked, unable to think of an idea.

"I don't know," Alice shrugged. "Maybe fate has arranged it for me? Anyway, I want to go to Pulitzer Harbor first."

Alice understood that judging from the dramatic death of Megoose, there was probably nothing she could do except be obedient.

"Have you not considered returning to Nighthawks?" Alice's attitude towards going to Pulitzer Harbor was quite firm, but Klein remembered that Alice's situation was different from his - her resurrection from the dead was caused by the true god Witnessed.

Alice glanced at Klein. She remembered the goddess's attitude and the time when she woke up, and said softly: "...I feel that neither the goddess nor fate itself wants me to continue to be a Nighthawk."

"..." Klein glanced at Alice with complicated eyes and asked, "Do you know where Ince Zangwill is now?"

"Do you want to seek revenge from him?" Alice looked at Klein, "You know, he is now a Sequence 5, and may become a demigod in the near future."

But Klein's attitude was firm and he didn't seem to be dissuaded by Alice's words at all, so Alice replied: "I don't know, but maybe you can try divination... Well, by the way, where is your hope for promotion?" ——You don’t know where to go anyway.”

As a result, they saw an extremely prosperous city in the divination results.

There are busy docks, row upon row of houses, streets with people coming and going, strange machinery, and thick smoke.

At the end of the picture, a series of gray-blue, off-white or light yellow houses are winding upwards, surrounded by a gorgeous palace and a tall Gothic bell tower.

when!

The bells echoed, and they all understood where the city they just saw was - the legendary "Land of Hope", the "Capital of Ten Thousand Capitals" Backlund!

As for the main peak of the Honakis Mountains... Haha, of course it is impossible for Klein to pass it.

"So, before you leave, is there anything else you want to do?" When the last thing was confirmed, the sad atmosphere finally returned between the two of them, and they realized that maybe nothing could be done in a short time. Seeing her old friend again, Alice looked at Klein and asked.

"I want to see Benson and Melissa again..." After a moment of silence, Klein gave this answer.

"Benson and Melissa?" Alice repeated doubtfully.

Remembering that Alice didn't know about this, Klein explained: "They are my family."

"Family..." Repeating this word, Alice's eyes suddenly flashed with confusion - unlike Klein, Alice still regarded herself as a pure visitor from another world. At least for now, she still could not regard herself as a part of this world.

What's more...

The words of the goddess emerged again, and Alice suddenly felt an indescribable sadness for the original owner of this body - maybe she had her own family and friends, and she should have a name of her own, but now, she no longer exists, and no one will even feel sad for this.

If she knew this, would she feel powerless and painful like me?

"Let's go," Alice said in a voice that was difficult to distinguish emotions, suppressing the emotions that surged up at that moment, "Let's go see your...your family for the last time."

"...But, they should have received the news of my death, right?" Klein looked at Alice hesitantly, rationally, "If I show up now, they will be shocked, right?"

Well, Melissa would probably faint on the spot...Benson would probably be so nervous that his hair would start to fall out, and then try to calmly convince me, in the name of the curly-haired baboon...This association made Klein sad again, and his expression became a little bitter.

"You can put on a clown makeup before going over. If you can't, I can help you." Alice finally found an opportunity to avenge Klein's unintentional ridicule at the beginning.
