Mystery: Lucky

After thinking for two seconds, Alice realized that she did not know what she should say, so, to relieve her embarrassment, Alice held out her lantern hand.

Ourolius looked at the lantern in her hand, and after thinking for a moment, he slightly shook the hand holding the lantern twice, as if to say that he had it himself.

During the short interlude, Alice quickly thought about the next course of action - she was already halfway there, and she was going to follow him to see the sanctuary.

The time in "The Land Abandoned by God" is too vague compared to the outside world. Alice is not sure what time it is outside now. As an angel who does not get sleepy or hungry, she cannot judge the time through her body, otherwise She would probably ask for a meal or a nap now.

I wonder what food is available in the "Land Abandoned by Gods"... Well, I remember that Little Sun and the others were eating black-faced grass... Uh, did I not say hello to Little Sun?

Alice blinked twice and decided to focus on Ouroleus. She tilted her head and imitated Ouroleus's tone and said:

"I will always follow Mr. Fool."

"...?" Ourolius looked at her quietly, thought for a while, and nodded, as if confirming her words.

Alice finally felt a faint sense of collapse, and she realized that if she didn't do something, Ourolius would be here to see her agree to follow him.

As for escaping, in the "Land Abandoned by the Gods" where she lost the ability to teleport, Alice raised her hand to compare the waist positions between her and Ourolyus, thinking that she should not be able to outrun Ourolyus.

No, should it be longer than the snake's body? But would it be weird for me to ask Him to become a mythical creature now? Moreover, He may not necessarily agree...

Alice lowered her head in thought and spun her right foot on the ground.

Thinking about it, maybe Destiny felt that something needed to break this awkward silence. The monster swooped from behind Alice, bringing with it a rapid gust of wind.

Ourolius looked up indifferently, and the monster was dragged back into the darkness by an unknown force. Alice turned back and happened to see this scene.

The monster in the dark is a humanoid with short black hair. Alice remembers that she has seen this kind of monster. It is a "resident" in a certain house. Now it seems that this "resident" seems... There is something wrong with his brain?

Alice turned back thoughtfully and asked Ourolius:

"Do you know what's going on here? Why are the houses taller and shorter? Why are the... um, 'residents' inside like this?"

Her intention was just to ask, but Unexpectedly, Ourolius actually gave the answer:

"This place is tainted by the forces of corruption.

"Before it was contaminated, it was home to both giants and ordinary people."

Wow, it seems that He really asked what to say...Alice suddenly had a good idea, and she continued to ask Ourolius:

"If I don't want to go to the sanctuary with you, how should I escape without being caught by you?"

——She also asked a similar question once in front of Amon.

"...?" Ourolius' eyes fell on her, and Alice thought he was probably confused, because he didn't answer Alice's question, but asked a new question, "Why don't you want to go with me?" Sanctuary?"

"What's the difference between that and dying?" Alice asked with her eyes wide open.

Her emotions were beyond imagination. After looking at her steadily for a few seconds, Ourolius said slowly: "I told you, I'm not here to kill you."

But that's your base camp, so you thought I would still be the same as before and just think about nothing... uh, wait a minute.

Alice remembered the first time she walked down the Pulitzer Harbor. At that time, she followed Charlie King in a daze, and by the way, Charlie King locked her in a spiritual barrier.

But Charlie King died in the end. If I just follow him without thinking about anything now, will He also...

Alice raised her head to look at Ourolius, who was looking down at her.

After staring at Ourolius's face and thinking for more than ten seconds, Alice sincerely praised:

"Your face is so beautiful!"

"...?" Ourolius looked at Alice quietly, as if thinking.

After a few seconds, He seemed to realize that this was supposed to be a compliment to His appearance, and He responded, "Thank you."

Alice weakly raised her hand to hold her forehead, vowing to be nicer to Klein when she returns.

...It was really hard for him to talk to me.

She took a deep breath with difficulty to calm down her mood, then rephrased her question and continued: "Then why do you have to take me to the sanctuary?"

Ourolius replied without changing his expression: "This is the guidance of fate."

"?" Alice opened her eyes again, "You can't say anything else! Do we have to go to this sanctuary? If you have something to do, you have to take me there!"

Ourolius still looked at her with a gentle and indifferent expression, as if he were looking at an ignorant child. He did not have any emotional fluctuations, and just said to her quietly and peacefully:

"follow me."

Alice felt a breath choke in her heart. She gritted her teeth and said in a very fierce tone:

"lead the way!"

Ourolius was not affected by her tone. He held the lamp, turned around decisively, and continued to move forward.

Alice followed Him with a lantern until they passed through the afternoon town and stepped onto the foot of the mountain. Alice finally couldn't bear the boredom of the journey and tried to go crazy:

"Wow, wow, I'm so pitiful. It was my first time to go on a long journey, and I ended up in this godforsaken place, and then you caught me, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow..."

She shed tears skillfully, Ouroboros stopped, looked back at her, and didn't speak for a long time.

Alice felt a little strange, she stopped crying in confusion, raised her head to look at Ouroboros's expression, and was surprised to find that his eyes were dull and his expression became dazed.

He seemed to be trapped in a long-lost memory.

"Hey," Alice shouted at Him boldly, "What are you thinking about?"

Ourolus came back to his senses, looked at Alice who had returned to normal, and shook his head:

"It's okay."

"How can it be okay!" Alice stared at Him, "This is the first time I've seen you with a different expression in such a long time, just like Amon didn't look at me with that kind of smiling face that deserves a beating, there must be something wrong!"

Among all the examples, Alice chose Amon, who Ourolus might be familiar with, which made Ourolus dazed again for a moment, and soon He shook his head again:

"It's okay."

Alice stared at Him for two seconds, and then began to wipe her tears on the spot:

"Wuwuwu, you are always like this, you don't tell me anything, you say it's okay when you encounter something, you say it's okay when you ask you, and in the end you blame me for not caring about you, blame me for not knowing anything, wuwuwuwuwu..."

After staring at her for more than ten seconds, Ourolus handed over a handkerchief.

"...Why do you have a handkerchief?" Alice stopped crying with a confused look on her face and took the handkerchief.

"I don't know." He shook his head in a good-natured manner, his expression still gentle and indifferent.

This, this is normal...

This answer is not strange in a sense, but Alice still looked at Him in surprise, frowned and asked in confusion:

"... You won't get angry?"

Ouroboros shook his head and replied softly: "I'm used to it."

...?

Alice was stunned for a moment, and asked with self-awareness:

"Besides me, who else is so crazy... I remember Amon didn't like to play like this, right? Could it be Medici...

"The dignified Red Angel, but behind him is a crybaby? ! "

Ourolus did not speak, but just looked at her with his soft and indifferent eyes. Inexplicably, Alice felt that she understood what He meant.

- If you know these two people, your temper will become very good.

In fact, it makes sense. An angel king of the "Hunter" path, a prank incarnation raised by the angel king of the "Hunter" path...

The information corresponding to the "Red Priest" path and the "Hunter" path came from Klein. Of course, this was just a guess. Alice was convinced of this possibility after listening to it-after all, Amon really deserves a beating.

Alice completely ignored the possibility that she deserved a beating at some point. In Ourolus's silver eyes that were so calm that it made people ashamed, she pretended to be calm and said:

"You continue to lead the way. "

So Ouroluos turned around obediently and continued to lead the way.

Alice was silent for two seconds, then quickly followed with the lantern in hand, reaching out to grab Ouroluos' robe.

A hand that felt cool to the touch rested on her wrist, stopping her from taking the next step.

The force was strong, Alice tried to move, and found that the other party was really using force. She frowned and raised her head in confusion.

Ouroluos' expression was still gentle and indifferent. He lowered his eyes slightly and looked at Alice, but his voice finally lost that softness, leaving only indifference:

"No."

Alice was completely confused.

Ouroluos was obviously angry. If He still retained this emotion - how wonderful it was, even her madness and impersonation could not make Him angry, but just one action did it.

"Why? "Alice asked tentatively.

Is it mysophobia? No, it shouldn't be, He even reached out and grabbed me, and hasn't let go until now...

Ouroboros still looked at her like that, and answered in the same voice:

"This is the clothes given to me by the Lord."

...Psychopath!

Alice opened her eyes wide, and once again felt the speechless feeling of wanting to curse but not knowing what to say. She stared at Ouroboros for several minutes before closing her eyes and said weakly:

"I'm sorry.

"I don't know about this."

Ouroboros looked at her quietly, without responding, but just let go of her hand, turned around and continued to walk towards the top of the mountain.

Alice gritted her teeth and followed, cursing the fanatics eight hundred times in her heart.

You "Aurora Society" people are really sick in the brain!

Alice cursed the people along the way in her heart, and when she was forced to stop because of Ouroboros's standing still, they were already standing in a corridor full of murals.

Alice looked at Ouroboros blankly, only to see him walk towards an unfinished mural, reach out to pick up the paintbrush on the ground, dip it in paint, and continue to add to it.

"?" Alice began to wonder why she was standing here.

Her eyes scanned the murals in the hall in confusion, from the ceiling to the wall, and finally stopped on one of the murals.

——Unlike the obvious religious paintings around, that mural was painted with a pure black tower.

The spirituality was slightly touched, and Alice walked over following the guidance of the spirituality, reached out to touch the mural, and slowly closed her eyes.

She did not resist, so a dream appeared.

In the dream, she was wearing a black hooded robe, slowly coming from nowhere and stepping into a dark tower.

Then, Alice saw chaotic and irregular stairs, some in front, some in the back, some on the left, some on the right, some on the top, and some on the bottom.

In the dream, Alice saw herself stepping on the messy stairs, circling up strangely, and actually reached the top of the tower very smoothly.

On the top of the tower, there was a white scaleless giant snake circling. The snake had a pair of cold and red eyes. It looked down from the top of the tower, opened its toothless bloody mouth, and swallowed her who had just climbed to the top of the tower.

The dream ended here, and Alice woke up in a daze, and vaguely realized one thing - this dream, she had had it.

She had this dream the night she first met Will Auceptin. At that time, Will Auceptin was not a fetus in his mother's belly, but a little boy of about ten years old.

Not long after, Will Auceptin abandoned his body and reincarnated as Dr. Allen's child... No, that's not right, wait.

Alice recalled the two dreams again and suddenly realized the key problem - the perspectives of the two dreams were different.

Although the content was the same, in the original dream, she was in the first person, watching how she climbed up the tower, and finally saw the white giant snake on the top of the tower opening its blood-red mouth towards her, it was also in the first person.

And here, she saw everything from the perspective of a bystander!

Alice looked at Ouroboros suddenly and asked in a lost voice:

"What's going on?"

Ouroboros did not stop painting, but explained calmly:

"I just feel that I should let you take a look at this dream."

Feeling... okay.

Alice felt a little annoyed. She didn't want to communicate this kind of thing with the angel of destiny, so she began to think about new questions.

This should be Ouroboros' dream, or the revelation Ouroboros received.

Same dream, different perspective...

Alice narrowed her eyes, thinking of Will Auceptin who swallowed her in the dream, she asked Ouroboros:

"What about Will Auceptin? Did He also have this dream?"

"I don't know." Ouroboros didn't care about it at all, and concentrated on painting his paintings.

Alice was silent for a moment, and asked tentatively: "You should just want me to see this... Can I leave?"
