Mystery: Lucky

As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end. Everything...

In short, even though she spent half an afternoon mustering up her courage, Cattleya still felt uneasy when she really had to tell Frank Lee about Alice's commission.

Objectively speaking, this is a good thing - if Frank Lee can stop doing experiments on the "Future".

But then again, this commission was actually given to her, so maybe she should give Frank Lee something to compensate him, such as... a Sequence 5 Beyonder characteristic?

Cattleya felt even more nervous.

Under Frank Lee's questioning gaze, Cattleya took a deep breath and carefully told Alice's commission:

"He needs a crop that can grow in a completely dark environment. In addition, the land there is polluted and crops cannot grow normally. There are many monsters around..."

"Hmm..." Frank Lee frowned slightly, as if thinking about how to achieve such a result, "Crops that grow in extreme environments... Got it!"

He paced around the room as if he suddenly thought of a good idea:

"You can improve the direct results and change the absorbing fish to..."

"Ahem," Cattleya couldn't help coughing as a reminder, "I think you need to eat something first."

"Oh, oh yes," Frank Lee said as if he had just remembered this, "I need to eat something first, that's right..."

As he said this, Frank Lee walked past Cattleya and walked towards the pirate restaurant in a daze.

Cattleya followed him worriedly. It turned out that her decision was not wrong. After Frank Lee selected a few mushrooms and fish, he sat in a seat in the corner without moving, and seemed to have no intention of eating.

Just as Cattleya was about to go over to ask, Frank Lee suddenly moved. He picked up the mushrooms and put them on the fish, and poured the milk in the cup on them.

Cattleya walked over unbearably and heard Frank Lee muttering:

"No, it won't work just like this. We also need to eliminate the pollution..."

"?" Cattleya began to reflect on whether her decision to tell Frank Lee about this matter was correct.

"Frank," she couldn't help but walk over and said, "Maybe you can finish your meal first, and then write to Herman - I remember you have his contact, you can talk to him or Miss Destiny, which may give you some inspiration."

Miss Destiny should not be able to reply now... I hope the "world" will not trouble Mr. Fool to send the letter.

Cattleya's proposal was recognized by Frank Lee - judging from Frank Lee's performance.

In Cattleya's shocked eyes, Frank Lee's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Yes, I can talk to them!"

Next, he grabbed the fish and mushrooms soaked in milk, stuffed them into his mouth, chewed them, and swallowed them together with the fish bones.

"......?" Seeing that he was about to go back, Cattleya followed him worriedly, and stopped only when he returned to the room.

She did not stay at the door of Frank Lee's room, but returned to the captain's room, took out a crystal ball, and after reciting the spell, the scene in Frank Lee's room appeared in the crystal ball.

After returning to the room, Frank Lee took out two written letters and opened the envelopes. Cattleya's mind moved, and the crystal ball automatically zoomed in and clearly presented the contents of the letters.

Well, it was mainly about introducing those mushrooms...

Under Cattleya's gaze, Frank Lee added a few sentences to each of the two letters, mentioned Alice's commission and his ideas, and finally stuffed three dried mushrooms into each.

After doing all this, he took out a piece of note paper. After zooming in, Cattleya recognized that it was a ritual to summon a messenger.

This is Gehrman's messenger... While she was thinking, Frank Lee arranged the ritual and summoned Gehrman Sparrow's messenger.

A headless lady holding four heads walked out of the flames. After her eyes paused on Frank Lee for half a second, she suddenly turned and looked at her through the crystal ball.

Cattleya felt a burning sensation in her eyes, and a line of tears flowed down. She quickly closed her eyes, waved away the picture in the crystal ball, and murmured in a low voice:

"...Ancient evil?"

...

Decided to sleep, on the one hand, it was too boring to stay awake and wait, and on the other hand, Alice really felt that she needed a good sleep to soothe her spirit-this was not a physical or spiritual need, but a psychological one.

The latter was the main reason. In addition, Alice had another obscure idea.

...Maybe, I can continue the previous dream?

Although she was not in a hurry, she still wanted to know the details of the bet, or rather, she actually had two questions that needed to be answered.

When the "winner" potion was completely digested, what did she win?

When the "doom wizard" ritual was completed, what was the turning point she found?

Alice didn't think about that question at the time, or rather, she thought that the information left on the "wealth accessories" was all, but now, she gradually realized a problem.

Even if the guy who was wearing Song Shu's shell and suspected to be the "Key of Light" really wanted to play a game with her, His confident attitude at least showed one thing - He was confident that he would not play too much.

And this kind of confidence combined with the promotion ceremony of the "destiny" path gives Alice a very subtle feeling.

Let’s not mention the Sequence 5 rituals for now. After all, there is really nothing to say about a lucky enough moment. The Sequence 4 rituals have already determined that the core is to find a turning point, and the Sequence 3 rituals are more like going one step further on this basis.

——Disrupt an already established story and write a new one.

This is a description of the "Chaos Walker" promotion ceremony. To be honest, this ceremony feels like it is tailor-made for her.

After all, as Klein said at the beginning, she may have entered a book, but until now, this is a new story.

But if combined with the previous ritual, and what Alice guessed, escaping from the original fate through death, it also happens to be the "opportunity" - if you combine these, there is no connection except that " Prophet" promotion ceremony, all this seems to reveal a very hidden meaning.

It's like a step-by-step process of escaping from the control of fate.

Sequence 5 is luck, Sequence 4 is finding a turning point, Sequence 3 is breaking the established ending, Sequence 2 Alice does not understand yet, Sequence 1 and Sequence 0 are finding real life in death...

…Is this also your deliberate arrangement, great incarnation of destiny?

But if she thinks along the latter line of thinking, Alice has to start thinking about a question - now that this line of thinking has been placed in front of her, what is the turning point she found in the first place?

Obviously, in the whole incident, she was like a toy in the hands of fate, at its mercy, no different from those she played with... uh, wait.

In a state of confusion and half-sleep, Alice suddenly woke up. She sat up from the ground and muttered to herself absentmindedly:

"It can't be that the mentality is so... uh, sounds so much like chicken soup, right?

"No, what's the use of changing my mentality after realizing that I am also a toy - can you give me one more bargaining chip!"

During her angry questioning, the chief, who had just fallen asleep, sat up silently and looked at her.

Alice didn't notice the chief sitting up. She continued talking to herself:

"No, maybe I shouldn't use more - I actually didn't have any chips, I only had one dice, and this dice was given to me by fate.

"...So can such a stupid mentality really help people win bets?

"That sounds like something a casino would say to get people into gambling... Like, uh, 'You're bound to win the next one'?

"To appease everyone, don't be anxious and don't give up easily. Essentially, it's to make people continue to play... Is he afraid that I will just die and stop playing?"

"Or maybe I don't work hard enough, so this game will become very boring..."

Alice muttered and looked around, and then saw the chief sitting up opposite her.

After they looked at each other for two seconds, the chief spoke first:

"If you want to try and erase my memory by rewinding my state to before I heard your words, you'd better be cautious.

"Before, I met the remaining power of another Angel of Destiny, Ouroleus, and entered a cycle. After leaving the cycle, I recovered my memory..."

Alice's movements paused.

She was indeed considering this possibility just now, but the chief reminded her frankly, reminding her of Alger's previous speculation.

Not all "Restart" and "Loop of Destiny" will take away the victim's memory. In fact, part of it depends on the will of the releaser, and the other part...

Sometimes, extraordinary people who have reached the level of demigod may retain a certain degree of autonomy, and they will recall their lost memories for a period of time after the influence disappears.

For example, the chief in front of me.

Sure enough, he remembered it. He was so good at pretending... Well, he and the little "Sun"... no, he and the big "Sun" should be acting now as two people who know each other's secrets... I just don't know. Does he know that Derrick knows.

Alice rolled her eyes, looked around, picked up the animal skin mat on the ground, ran to sit next to the chief, and then asked curiously:

"You remind me like this, aren't you worried that I will kill someone and silence you?"

The chief replied calmly: "I thought if I didn't remind you, you would be angrier when you realized this later."

...It seems like this.

Alice touched her chin and asked curiously: "Did you hear what Derrick said?"

The chief paused. He was used to the tacit understanding between adults. He obviously didn't expect that there was such an alien like Alice hidden in the high sequence - how could a child really become an angel?

No, in Silver City, even children are much more mature than her, as long as they are not the type who cannot take care of themselves.

While the chief was thinking, Alice lifted the fig leaf without hesitation:

"Stop pretending, I know you know there is something wrong with Derrick, and Derrick knows it too - I also know you are hedging your bets, and you don't completely trust Mr. Fool..."

The chief sat stiffly, not knowing what to say.

——He did guess from Derrick's hints and Alice's performance that Alice might prefer people who are calm, but this is a bit too calm.

He looked at Alice stiffly, not daring to move at all. After more than ten seconds, Alice blinked and asked:

"Do you want to know why I'm not angry even after knowing this?"

The chief was silent for two seconds and responded dryly: "Yes."

Alice then kindly gave an explanation: "Of course it's because our great Mr. Fool also knows about this~"

...what does she mean?

The chief looked at Alice blankly, trying to understand the content of her words.

Alice kindly continued to explain:

"You are not betting on me, and Mr. Fool himself knows this. Of course it is not my turn to settle accounts with you.

"I'm just a weak, pitiful and helpless little girl who gets scolded when I get into trouble when I get home!"

Good, what a little girl... The chief swallowed, trying to connect Alice with the words in her mouth.

After Alice stared at the chief for a few seconds, she brought up another topic:

"Anyway, you're awake, and I'm awake too... I remember if you had something to say to me just now?

"Oh, by the way, there is something else I want...well, you can give it to me later, or ask Derrick to give it to Mr. Fool."

The chief nodded silently, and then explained to Alice:

"After Derrick and the others came back, when I led the team to explore the afternoon town, I brought the deck of tarot cards you left before leaving..."

"Ah," Alice suddenly realized, "You think it's very useful and want to stay?"

Her guess made the chief pause for a moment before continuing: "...No, I'm just worried that you will mind this."

"That's what you deserve," Alice shook her head, "That deck of cards is your reward."

The chief's movements paused for a moment, and Alice immediately asked, "You don't think I plan to have sex for nothing, do you?"

"..." The chief remained silent.

Alice grinded her teeth, glared at the chief angrily, then put away her temper aggrievedly, stared at the chief and said:

"I have one more thing I need your help with."

"What?" the chief asked, looking at her.

Alice touched her chin, pointed in the direction of the sanctuary and said, "I'll go find Ourolius later - it would be great if he is willing to help send me back. If he is not willing, I might ...Well, I may need you to help me send my body back."

"Send...the body back?" The chief was confused.

"Yes," Alice blinked, "I'll explain it to you when I get back." (End of Chapter)
