Mystery: Lucky

Alice silently turned her head to look at Heath Doyle.

He finally showed a little panic, and Alice watched him move his body a few times and stand in the shadows.

This seemed to give Heath Doyle a sense of security, and he replied in a calm tone:

"I only found out about it later, and I haven't found the right opportunity to tell the captain."

His credibility with Alice was so low that it was almost nonexistent. In response to his words, Alice just smiled, stood up and said:

"Where are you trying to trick us into going?"

No, so direct... Klein hesitated and looked at Alice.

Heath Doyle was also shocked by Alice's frankness. He hurriedly organized his words:

"No, no, I just want to invite you to explore the dreamland with me..."

Heath Doyle raised his head and met Alice's distrustful eyes. After a few seconds, he gritted his teeth and said as if he had finally made up his mind:

"Okay, I admit it, I want to find something in the dream... but I don't know where it is."

"Then how are you going to find it?" Alice looked confused.

Heath Doyle said nothing. Alice stood up from the ground. After watching him think for a few seconds, she turned to Klein and asked:

"Are we with him?"

Klein, who thought Alice would make her own decision, looked at Alice moved.

First of all, what is certain is that Heath Doyle is definitely hiding something. It is hard to say how credible his previous words are, but calling us is definitely not just a simple reason to find two companions. He must have other purposes... Wait, is he really Heath Doyle?

Klein suddenly remembered this crucial question, and he suddenly turned to look at Alice.

"Don't ask me," Alice spread her hands, "I came with you. If you don't plan to explore dreams, I will go to sleep."

Okay, that makes sense... Klein glanced at Alice with mixed emotions.

However, I originally planned to take a walk in this dream. Maybe I could see what Heath Doyle wanted to do first? After all, he only has Sequence 6...

As if she guessed what Klein was thinking, Alice glanced at him and reminded:

"Well...if something happens, I may not be able to save you in time.

"The dreamland is definitely more dangerous than the outside."

Klein's mind that had just been flooded became hesitant again.

Heath Doyle finally couldn't stand it anymore, and he said as if he was giving up on himself:

"I'm looking for a key!

"A key that can unlock all treasures!"

"Huh?" Alice stared at him.

"When I entered the dreamland, I saw the key..." Heath Doyle showed a confused expression, "It was so dazzling, so warm, so bright..."

He looks like a scammer... Alice thought of Sylvia inexplicably.

"As long as I get it, as long as I own it, I can get everything I desire, and I can redeem the regrets of the past..." Heath Doyle said enthusiastically, "It will only reveal itself in front of those who are truly destined. Figure!"

...?

Alice's expression became more complicated. She and Klein looked at each other and confirmed that Klein felt that Heath Doyle had been deceived as she did, and she suddenly felt more relieved.

Heath Doyle continued his impassioned speech:

“Like you said, I’m the ‘protagonist’ and I deserve it!

"And you, the special beings who can stay awake in dreams! You will be my most powerful help! You will be my right-hand man on the road to success! You will be..."

Unable to bear it, Alice chose to attack his spirit.

The damage from the spirit seemed to wake him up, like a basin of cold water poured on the fire. After the spiritual shock subsided, Heath Doyle instinctively wanted to escape into the shadows.

After experiencing the infinite cycle of escaping into the shadow → coming out → escaping into the shadow → coming out → escaping into the shadow → coming out, Heath Doyle finally understood that it was irrational to escape in front of a demigod.

"I'm sorry," a blush appeared on his pale face, "I didn't know... I just felt like I had a convulsion..."

"I kind of regret it..." Alice put her hand on her forehead and glanced at Heath Doyle hesitantly, "Can you still find the key now?"

Heath Doyle shook his head in embarrassment.

"I should wait until you take us to find the key before taking action..." Alice murmured, "Let's talk about it..."

She was just about to ask Histoll to tell him what happened, when dazzling sunlight fell from the sky, everything turned bright white, and finally disappeared.

She woke up.

Alice opened her eyes and everything returned to noon. She opened her pocket watch to check the time and found that only half an hour had passed before she fell asleep.

The day is a little too short...

Alice glanced at the ceiling with a complicated mood, then jumped up from the bed and rushed out to find Cattleya, or Klein, or Heath Doyle, in short, whichever one would be fine.

She wanted to continue to ask questions about what just happened.

The best person to find was of course Cattleya. Alice rushed to the captain's cabin, then stopped at the door and knocked on the door twice.

Cattleya opened the door not long after, wearing a pair of thick glasses on her face.

Cattleya seemed to know the purpose of Alice's visit, and let her in, and said to her:

"Do you need me to call Heath over?"

"Wait a minute," Alice shook her head, "You really didn't know that he could stay awake in his dreams before, right?"

"To be precise," Cattleya replied as she walked towards the house, "Heath was not able to stay awake in his dreams before."

Alice looked over in surprise. Cattleya had already walked to the window of the captain's cabin and increased her volume:

"Heath, come to the captain's cabin."

Before Alice could continue speaking, there was another knock on the door. She looked towards the door and saw that it was Klein.

"Is it convenient for me to come in?" Klein asked them.

Alice looked at Cattleya, Cattleya nodded, and then Klein walked in.

None of them took the initiative to speak. It wasn't until Heath Doyle walked into the captain's cabin that Alice couldn't wait to ask:

"About that key, and what you said...what happened to that adventure?"

Heath Doyle's face was still pale, and his nose hung unharmoniously on his face. Alice saw that his face was red with embarrassment, and his expression was not as showy as he had been in the dream just now.

"I don't know," Heath Doyle hid most of his body in the shadows, and then replied as if he had gained a sense of security. "Before today, I couldn't stay awake in dreams." ( End of this chapter)
