Mystery: Lucky

"In this area, supernatural things within the authority of the 'Earth Goddess' will undergo mutations, including your abilities." Cattleya gave an explanation.

While she was speaking, Anderson seemed to see something. A blazing white flame erupted from his body. The fire flashed forward, jumped out of the side of the ship, and fell towards the paw that was on the side of the ship.

Then, the blazing white light quickly engulfed the part holding the "Future" and spread downwards.

Nina reacted quickly. She and Frank led the sailors, followed Captain Ottolov's command, and quickly adjusted each sail to stay away from the monster trapped in place.

"Hey," Alice fell back to the ground in surprise, "Don't you want to fight?"

She looked very sorry about this incident... Anderson glanced at Alice, who was quite disappointed, and suddenly remembered that his right foot had been treated. He smiled slightly and asked Alice:

"Miss Destiny.

“Do you really control who gets harmed and who doesn’t?”

Alice stopped, turned to him and said:

"I made a decision!

"When we return, I will give you double the bad luck!"

Anderson smiled habitually, opened his mouth, and then swallowed his words.

He suddenly understood why Alice reached out to cover her mouth - after all, sometimes she really couldn't control what she said.

Alice, who had achieved the achievement of shutting up the hunter, walked forward. Klein followed her and asked:

"'Hell Admiral' Ludwell is around here?"

"Probably," Alice spread her hands, "Anyway, it looks like we might bump into him at any time... Hey, so why didn't you just kill that monster just now? Why did you run?"

"What will happen if I'm beaten to death?" Anderson asked doubtfully, "You look like you're looking forward to it."

"I will run into the legendary 'Black Tulip' because of delaying time~" Alice blinked, "There are still fifty-five thousand pounds."

"Can you beat me?" Klein's heart skipped a beat.

Alice's suppressed excitement turned to Klein. Klein felt the hairs on his body stand up. He immediately emphasized nervously:

"I don't want to meet the Black Tulip at all!"

"It's too late," Alice stepped towards the cabin. "You'd better prepare for battle now."

"You should be able to adjust now..." Anderson finally couldn't help but interjected.

Alice ignored him, pretended that she didn't hear anything, and walked away quickly.

So, a quarter of an hour later, Alice stood in Cattleya's captain's cabin.

Cattleya frowned slightly and looked at Alice, successfully making Alice shrink her neck and defend herself:

"You would have met the Black Tulip!

“I just made what was supposed to happen happen!”

She actually has a guilty conscience... Although she has been very noisy, it seems that she has never done anything with serious consequences... Is it a punishment for being afraid of Mr. Fool? No, not really, she is not afraid of Mr. Fool at all.

She didn't want to cause serious consequences at all!

Cattleya stared at Alice for more than ten seconds, realized this, and had an idea in her mind.

Under Alice's nervous gaze, Cattleya shook her head and walked to the window of the captain's room. Just as she was about to raise her voice to warn everyone to be careful, a huge black sailboat with a gloomy green color appeared in her field of vision.

"Get ready to fight." She only had time to say this.

Alice heard this, took a few steps to the window, and saw a huge sailing ship. On the pale sail, a blooming black tulip revealed its identity.

"Actually, you are right," Cattleya's calm voice sounded, "'Hell Admiral' Ludwell is a frequent visitor to this sea area. Meeting the 'Black Tulip' is a high probability event, even if you avoid it, Once, there will be a second time, a third time..."

Alice turned her head hesitantly, Cattleya stared out the window and continued:

"At least when we met the 'Black Tulip' this time, it was still in good condition. If we had just experienced a battle and suffered heavy losses..."

"That won't happen!" Alice interrupted her immediately.

Cattleya turned her head, showed a gentle smile to Alice, and said to her:

"On behalf of the crew of the Future, thank you, Miss Destiny."

Alice pursed her lips.

She was still thanking me... Complex emotions welled up from the bottom of her heart, and Alice finally chose to turn around and run away, leaving only one sentence in the distance:

"I'll go to the deck and take a look!"

Standing on the deck, Alice began to recall the information about Ludwell:

"Admiral of Hell" Ludwell, the bounty of Loen alone reached 55,000 pounds.

He is an extremely powerful psychic and has the highest bounty among the seven pirate generals.

There are not many pirates alive on his flagship "Black Tulip", and the undead and spiritual creatures he drives are responsible for most of the things.

He kills indiscriminately, but he has no perverted interest in killing. He is just conscientiously completing the work of sending living beings to hell.

He is closely related to the Spiritual Cult and is said to own a ring left by the ancient God of Death.

The "Black Tulip" was moving very fast, and in just a few seconds, it entered the warning range of the "Future".

The dark green sunken sailboat slowed down and stopped at the edge. Alice saw an almost transparent eye emerging from the midair corresponding to the "Future". It had pale pupils and was looking down, unblinking.

This is...a telescope?

Alice looked at that eye in surprise, turned her head and wanted to say something to Klein, but found that he had pulled out a revolver.

...Should we take action?

Alice reacted and turned her head, just in time to see the transparent illusory eye disappear.

As the "Black Tulip" gradually approached, Alice could already see its full picture.

On top of it, white skeletons wearing no clothes or wearing leather armor were busy manipulating the sails. Pale living corpses carrying long swords were patrolling back and forth, looking around with eyes stained with green flames. Shadows, resentful souls, and various weird spiritual creatures sometimes flew and hovered, and sometimes penetrated into the hull of the ship, protruding transparent faces with unclear features on the side.

Through her spiritual vision, Alice discovered that there was only one living person on board the Black Tulip, and that was the man dressed as the captain who was standing on the front deck and watching quietly.

He wore an exaggerated three-cornered hat embroidered with white skulls and feathers, a white shirt with lace and a complicated and gorgeous brown short coat. A thin rapier hung on the cowhide belt that held the white tights in place.

The man's face was covered with a silver-white mask, and his facial features and outlines were hidden inside. The cold lines around the holes that symbolized the positions of the eyes, nose, and mouth were daunting.

This must be Ludwell... Where are his crew members?

Alice's eyes were confused for a moment, and she suddenly remembered a long-standing joke.

She looked around, approached Klein, and asked him:

"Have you ever heard a joke?"

"What?" Klein retracted his revolver. In this short period of time, they saw Ludwell start to turn and try to stay away.

Running so fast... well, that's normal.

Klein glanced at Alice and felt that he understood everything - after all, the skeleton was probably a novel toy for Alice.

Alice lowered her voice and spoke passionately:

“The brave man’s brother passed away and he was very angry and wanted to avenge his brother.

"The brave man's first friend, an extraordinary person of the 'Peeper' path, said to him: 'Oh, dear friend, let my knowledge help you!'

"The brave man's second friend, an Extraordinary of the 'Hunter' path, said to him: 'Oh, dear friend, let the angry flames help you!'

"The brave man's third friend, an Extraordinary of the 'Corpse Collector' pathway, said to him: 'Oh, dear friend, let your brother help you!'"

Klein looked at Alice in surprise.

Anderson, who came over when the alarm was lifted, listened to the whole story and couldn't help but said to her:

"Miss Destiny, I think the fact that you have not become a 'Hunter' is enough to prove fate's preference for you."

Alice was silent for a moment, then turned to Anderson and said:

"Although your bounty is not as high as Daniz, there must be more people who want to kill you than people who want to kill Daniz... Well, you know who Daniz is, right?"

"We know each other," Anderson replied.

"Good," Alice nodded, "Now triple the bad luck."

Anderson's smile froze on his face, and even Klein couldn't help but ask: "Will this kill someone...?"

Alice shrugged and replied:

"No difference.

"Remember what I told you? Even if something happens 100%, there may be an accident. Even if it is something with zero probability, it may succeed.

"So, if he really dies, he deserves to die."

"Wait a minute," Anderson couldn't help but speak up for himself, "If you are 100% sure to die, how can you survive?"

Alice turned her head, curled her lips, and whispered:

"I think this may be my promotion ceremony to Sequence 4...maybe it also includes Sequence 3?

"I'm trying to get out of a certain death situation."

Klein suddenly turned his head to look at Alice, but Alice looked at the last image of Ludwell and suddenly turned to Klein and asked:

"You've made my monocle, right?"

Klein nodded hesitantly, not knowing whether to ask about the promotion ceremony or what she wanted to do.

Alice didn't bother him for too long. After getting the answer, Alice's figure disappeared from the place instantly, and she reappeared about a minute later.

"What did you do?" Klein asked immediately.

Alice showed a bright smile and said to Klein:

"I left the monocle that Amon gave me on board the Black Tulip."

"Amon?" Anderson repeated the name, "Is he... a descendant of that Amon family?"

Alice suddenly choked on this question. She thought about it, turned around and said:

"uncertain.

"Perhaps he is a descendant of the Zoroaster family or the Jacob family?"

This... this doesn't seem impossible... Klein thought of Amon's parasitic ability and mentally agreed with Alice's words.

Leaving behind the confused Anderson and the thoughtful Klein, Alice walked to the front deck.

The results of the chaos just now have been cleared up, and many sailors are gathering around.

Alice moved forward curiously, and several sailors close to her turned their heads impatiently. After realizing it was her, they subconsciously took a few steps back, squeezing in among the people around them.

The people who had been squeezed dispersed one after another after noticing the situation here, and finally revealed Nina in the middle, and the pirate who had just died.

Oh, it's the watermelon... No, it's the unlucky guy with the watermelon growing on his head.

Alice recognized the identity of the corpse in front of her. She looked at the passage that the sailors spontaneously gave way to, and walked over without being polite.

"What are you doing?" she asked Nina slightly curiously.

Nina was surprised when she saw Alice, and then smiled heartily:

"We're holding a funeral for Revere. Do you want to see it?"

Revere...is that watermelon's name?

"Okay." Alice nodded, her eyes full of curiosity.

Nina looked even more surprised, but she just smiled and said to Alice, "I think Revere will be happy to know about it."

Alice suddenly became silent and quietly retreated, but the sailors spontaneously avoided her, leaving her with the best view.

I hate this feeling... Alice pursed her lips and finally stood there, pretending that she was looking at Nina intently.

So the sailors gradually became bolder, but still left a vacuum around her.

Only Nina seemed unaffected. After everyone adjusted their positions, she led everyone to pray in a decent manner.

Alice imitated their prayers in cooperation. After praying at all, Nina looked around and said:

“Revere’s wish was to be buried on the hill in his hometown port where there was the most beautiful sunset.

"He wanted to be cremated so he wouldn't be disturbed after his death."

Cremation...? Alice's eyes showed surprise - this was the first time she had witnessed a cremation in another world.

Well, the same is true for local people. After all, she has never seen the step of burning people and burying them with her own eyes.

"The storm is above, may he rest in peace." Most of the sailors believed in the "Lord of Storms" and said one after another with their right fists and left chests.

Alice looked at the sailors whose praying movements and voices were uniform, hesitated for a moment, followed their example, hammered her left chest with her right fist, and shouted with them:

"The storm is above, may he rest in peace."

Forgive me, goddess, you are a tolerant god and you will definitely not care about this kind of thing... Uh, does the goddess know?

Alice repented deeply in her heart, and suddenly looked up hesitantly at the noon sun in the sky.
