Mystery: Lucky

Ourolius had no intention of waiting for her. After he said those words, he turned around in a steady and even rhythm and walked towards the afternoon town.

Like a machine executing orders, He walked to the end of the glory of "Apollo", and an animal skin lantern fell right at His feet.

Ouroles leaned over to pick up the lantern on the ground without any reaction, and then looked back at Alice, who was still stunned.

The spirit did not call the police, which gave Alice a sense of trust. She somewhat believed that Ouroloius was not here to kill her, but at the same time she had another worry - whether Ouroloius would kill her at some moment. Suddenly want to kill her?

Alice doesn't know Ouroleus, nor does she understand him, but she knows herself. She thinks that she may have strange ideas at any time, or...a revelation of fate?

Amidst the unknown vigilance, Alice took steps and followed.

Anyway, He doesn’t want to kill me yet, so let’s follow him first and see where He wants to take me. If He suddenly wants to kill me, then we’ll talk about it then…

Thinking like this, Alice felt relieved.

After seeing Alice following him, Ourolius turned back and continued walking.

Alice was quite shy when they met for the first time. He didn't ask anything, and just followed Ourolius quietly. In order to make the lantern that Ourolius just picked up have meaning, Alice took the initiative to extinguish the "Apo" Luo" light.

So, she and Ourolius walked in the afternoon town one after another, with only a lantern in Ourolius' hand as a light source.

After walking through half of the afternoon town, Alice finally couldn't help it anymore, because the surroundings were so quiet, and they didn't even encounter a monster.

Alice felt that she should at least say something, for example, ask where they were going, so she took two quick steps to make the few empty steps between herself and Ourolius disappear, raised her head and asked :

"Where are you taking me?"

"Sanctuary." Ourolius replied with a soft voice, his expression and pace unchanged.

After getting this unexpected answer, Alice stopped where she was and stared at Him warily.

After taking a few steps forward, Ourolius stopped as if he had just realized this, and looked back at Alice in confusion.

He didn't speak, and Alice didn't take the initiative to ask questions. After half a minute of silence, Ourolius took the initiative to walk towards Alice, and in her doubtful eyes, he stretched out the hand holding the lantern.

Alice was stunned for a moment. She tentatively stretched out her hand, and Ourolius handed the lantern to her, then turned around and continued walking. After a few steps, the second lantern came to his feet from nowhere.

Ourolius picked up the lantern on the ground with a gentle expression, and then looked back at Alice.

He...he thought I was asking for a lantern?

Alice understood this unusual idea after a few seconds. She felt her head was a little confused. As a test, she cautiously took a step forward.

As expected, Ourolius turned around and continued walking. Alice paused, feeling that the idea of ​​bringing herself to the sanctuary to kill him was too difficult for him. She quickly followed him and asked the next question:

"Why do you want to walk? Can't you fly?"

Uroleus never looked back, and replied while moving forward at a steady speed:

"It's more religious."

With an impeccable answer, Alice paused and then asked: "...Then why did you fly over just now?"

"It's faster this way." Ourolius' tone did not change at all.

Every question was answered reasonably, and there were no problems in every link. After trying to understand this idea, Alice raised a new question:

“But, I am not an angel or a follower of your Lord, I do not need to be pious, and I should not even visit His sanctuary.

"Even if you really want to go, you shouldn't take me there in such a rude way. I think, maybe you should invite me first and then take me there after I agree - you just seemed to be ordering me , or threatening me."

This success made Ouroleus stop. He turned around, and Alice's figure reflected again in his gentle and indifferent eyes.

Alice was a little nervous for a moment, and she had the urge to turn around and run away, because until now, Alice had not been able to feel any emotion from Ourolius - He was really like a perfect angel, just too perfect. , a little less human.

Wait a minute, angels are not humans originally, they are complete mythical creatures... But angels seem to be able to have children with humans, so strange...

Alice began to think wildly.

Ourolius seemed to accept Alice's logic. After staring at Alice for a few minutes, he asked in an unchanged voice:

"Will you go with me to the sanctuary of the Lord?"

He extended the invitation just as Alice said.

Alice was greatly shocked and refused the invitation without hesitation:

"I don't want to."

The wrong response caused the logical system re-established by Ourolius to collapse, and Alice finally saw the first emotion in him other than gentleness and indifference in so long.

It might be confusion, confusion, or simply confusion, but it was better than being like a robot. Alice felt a little more comfortable. She looked at Ourolius, who was still stuck, and sighed. The next step of the program is given compassionately:

"Why are you taking me to the sanctuary?"

Ourolus looked at her calmly and said the words Alice hated to hear the most in her life:

"This is the guidance of fate."

Alice, who had been acting like a charlatan, looked at Ourolus in front of her and fell into deep thought: He seemed to be serious, what should I do?

--Unlike Alice, who seemed calm but was actually noisy and overly active in psychological feedback, Ourolus seemed to be quiet from the inside out.

Alice looked at His expression which had not changed from the beginning to now, recalling His even silence, unchanging tone and smooth voice without intonation, and asked with her chin touched:

"Have you forgotten what you are like because you have performed too much, or have you always been like this?

"The so-called 'machine', is it that it moves when fate moves it, and does not move when fate does not move it...

"Don't you have your own ideas!"

Ouroboros' expression still did not change at all, and He answered as if he knew what Alice wanted to ask:

"I will always follow the Lord."

Alice, who already knew that believers were "anchors", gradually became confused - could this thing also be true in reverse? !
