Mystery: Lucky

Alice's description of Mr. "Door" was not exaggerated at all - of course, this was based on the premise that Emperor Roselle's description of Mr. "Door" was not exaggerated.

But because of Alice's words, "Hermit" Cattleya became wary of Mr. "Door" before Alice spoke. When she heard Alice's words of praise, Cattleya gradually frowned.

She preconceivedly thought about the deep meaning of this passage, but this passage did not seem to have much meaning, and was more of a statement of facts.

But since Miss Fate said so, there must be something wrong with Mr. "Door"... Well, where is it?

Facts... Friendly... Angel King... That's right!

"Hermit" Cattleya suddenly realized that the Angel King in Alice's description seemed a little too friendly - look, what a great good man this is, he will answer any questions, and it's enough for you to just chat with Him.

He didn't even ask the other party to bring the stolen back to the real world, but just hoped that someone would do so. But if it couldn't be done, He wouldn't force it... He really wouldn't force it?

"Hermit" Cattleya was thoughtful. She thought she had grasped the key point, but she didn't say anything and continued to look at Alice.

Alice slowly introduced Mr. "Door" in Roselle's diary, leaned back in her chair, and smiled and said what she had said to Klein:

"Do you know? The last angel king who was so friendly that I met was named Amon."

"Hermit" Cattleya shuddered directly.

"Magician" Fors also shuddered because of this sentence. After listening to Alice's introduction, her resentment towards Mr. "Door" had faded a lot - she had a rich imagination and imagined Mr. "Door" trapped alone.

At a certain moment, Fors felt that Mr. "Door" was also pitiful. After all, being able to force an angel king to be so good-tempered showed how terrible loneliness was.

If the full moon whispers were really Mr. Door's call for help, then as long as Mr. Door was rescued, it would not only help Mr. Door, but also allow her to get rid of the full moon whispers. Why not do it?

After a brief panic, Cattleya quickly came to her senses.

She had heard Alice's description of Amon and knew the name of this fraud incarnation, so Cattleya instinctively associated Mr. Door's behavior with fraud.

If Mr. Door's goal was to escape, and if saving Him was not completely voluntary...

... This doesn't seem to be worthy of Miss Destiny's reminder?

"Hermit" Cattleya frowned, she looked at Alice and asked:

"But, Miss Destiny, even if Mr. Door asks others to rescue him in exchange for telling knowledge, it's not too much, right?"

Even though they don't worship knowledge as much as the extraordinary people of the "Reader" path, the extraordinary people of the "Secret Peeper" path also accept the view that "knowledge is power" well, and they are not unfamiliar with knowledge payment.

If things were as she guessed, then if we had to say what Mr. Door did wrong, it was probably because He did not state the request openly, but plotted behind the scenes.

Unless...

Before a certain idea became clear, Alice sneered and asked her:

"What if the Mr. Door who is talking to you is not the real Mr. Door at all?

"What if the call for help is not from Mr. Door's own will?"

Cattleya was stunned on the spot.

"Magician" Fors was shocked and asked immediately:

"Why do you say that?"

"Because," Alice turned her head and looked at "Magician" Fors, "I just saw the source of the power that trapped Mr. Door."

The people present were slightly stunned. Alice did not wait for them to react, retreated into the chair and continued:

"That person, the time when the power is strongest should be the full moon and the blood moon.

"In that case, how can Mr. 'Gate' only call for help during this time?"

Everyone looked at each other, and after a long time, "Justice" Audrey asked cautiously:

"Who are you talking about..."

She couldn't finish her question because Alice put her index finger in front of her lips and made a "hush" gesture.

Audrey subconsciously closed her mouth, and her heart unconsciously became nervous.

Alice looked around and asked them: "Have you ever looked up at the starry sky above your head?"

The members of the Tarot Club looked at each other again, and they exchanged glances. The last one to speak was Cattleya, the "Hermit" who had the most say in knowledge here:

"If you mean ordinary appreciation of the night sky, I have, if you mean studying the stars in the sky...

"Never."

"Yes," Alice spread her hands, "Never."

This attitude has already explained everything, and "Hanged Man" Alger pondered and asked:

"Miss Destiny, the starry sky above our heads...is there something wrong? "

Alice leaned back in her chair, looked up at the dome, and said in a brisk tone:

"Before the angel, don't look up at the starry sky.

"Otherwise, the stars will see you~"

It's a childish statement, but when similar words come out of Miss Ming's mouth, there is always a creepy taste.

They subconsciously thought about the core of this sentence. After Alger pondered, he found something that might be related to it from his memory.

"Watch".

Those stars may be alive!

This knowledge made people's hair stand on end. Unfortunately, they were just spiritual bodies above the gray fog and could not shed real cold sweat. Alger cautiously stopped thinking. As an experienced Extraordinary, he understood that "understanding" was also part of "seeing".

The same people who suppressed their thoughts were Cattleya the Hermit and Klein, but Klein did not do it entirely because of experience, but more because of Alice's warning, which made him understand the whole thing almost instantly. source.

He quickly stopped his thoughts, looked around, and found that not everyone realized this in time, so after thinking for a while, he controlled the "world" and said:

“Don’t explore.

"Knowledge like this, even just knowing it, can be dangerous."

Because of this reminder, everyone gathered their thoughts in time, and knowing that at this moment, Derrick "The Sun" asked them:

"What does the starry sky... look like?

“I don’t think I’ve seen it before…it’s not in the textbook either.

"Can you talk to me?"

The originally silent fear was tainted with an inexplicable sadness, and suddenly no one spoke. Even "Justice" Audrey, who was best at comforting people, had to think carefully about her words.

Alice laughed inappropriately at this time. This laugh was not appropriate, but it did break the deadlock. Everyone looked at her. Alice turned her head without embarrassment and smiled at Derrick "The Sun":

“You know what, little ‘Sun’?

"I live in an era where people associate stars with miracles.

“They like to claim that when stars fall to the ground, miracles will happen.

"But in fact, when stars fall to the ground... they will only turn into meteorites.

"Oh, by the way, do you know what a meteorite is?"

Derrick shook his head honestly.

The other members of the Tarot Society swallowed their saliva and did not dare to speak.

Alice had no intention of letting them go. She smiled and said to the others:

"Now, I'm not good at this kind of thing... Can any of you explain it to him?"

After an awkward silence, they all invariably set their sights on Alger, the Hanged Man, who had taught Derrick the Sun the most, and used their eyes to coerce him to stand up.

So "The Hanged Man" Alger was forced to stand up and introduce the dangers of meteorites to the innocent Derrick. Derrick nodded from time to time in understanding.

After they finished talking about it, Klein looked around and confirmed that no one started a new topic, and then said:

"That's it."

After hearing his words, "Justice" Audrey immediately took the lead and stood up, lifted her skirt and saluted:

"Your will is our will."

Others followed, and Alice sat motionless, watching the others disappear.

After everyone disappeared, Klein waved to Alice to move closer to him, handed out the page of the diary and said:

"I suspect that Emperor Russell may have jumped to a non-adjacent path in his later years!"

"?" Alice slowed down halfway and opened her eyes wide.

Unable to explain the reason why he came to such a conclusion, Klein motioned for Alice to come over and read the diary first, so Alice obediently walked over, picked up the diary, and started browsing.

This page of the diary was really carefully selected by Bernadette, and it contained a huge amount of information. Alice had read how the "Black Emperor" was resurrected, and how the "Blood Emperor" Alistair Tudor became a god across paths. After what happened, I finally understood the logic of Klein’s reasoning.

"As long as you are alive, even if you are completely crazy, there is no way to recover..." Alice repeated this sentence in a low voice, and fell into deep thought while reading the next paragraph.

Relying on instinct to mate with various creatures to eliminate extraordinary characteristics...?

"The Emperor..." Alice raised her head with a strange expression, "In his later years, he probably didn't rely on instinct to mate crazily with various creatures, right...? Those... those I remember are the diaries of his youth, right?"

"?" Klein looked at Alice, who had obviously skipped a few steps, and his face gradually became confused. "I don't think so... There is no rumor in history that the emperor was sexually promiscuous in his later years, mainly in his early years..."

So Alice took a breath, came closer and patted Klein on the shoulder, and said to him seriously:

"I also don't want to hear people talk about Mr. Fool or Mr. Fool's favored private life of promiscuity."

"?" Klein began to glare at her.

Alice thought for a while and added:

"However, in this way, when you become my 'mother', it is best to hide your pregnancy.

"Otherwise, there may be news like Mr. Fool's favored person getting pregnant out of wedlock..."

"We can make this rumor a little more exciting." Klein sneered and said expressionlessly.

Alice looked at Klein doubtfully and asked curiously: "A little more exciting?"

Klein replied expressionlessly:

"I could imitate the Virgin Mary's virginal pregnancy - in the Church of the Fool we could have the legend of a man's pregnancy."

"..." Alice lowered her head and thought seriously, "Holy Father Mary? No, it may not be called this by then... However, as a myth and legend, male pregnancy is indeed more impactful than virgin pregnancy. …”

Yeah, of course, the Virgin was really a woman after all...hell, why was she really seriously considering that possibility? !

Klein gritted his teeth and glared at her, and couldn't help but said: "There is no way I would let such a thing really appear!"

"Okay." Alice nodded rather perfunctorily.

Before Mr. Fool got angry again, Alice raised her head and asked Mr. Fool another question that she was very concerned about:

"Do you think it is possible that Emperor Russell intentionally jumped the path to becoming a god, and then expelled excess characteristics through death?"

"It's very big," Klein said without hesitation. "You still remember the 'Black Emperor''s god-making ceremony, right? Judging from his government decrees in his later years, he is likely to be promoted to the 'Black Emperor'..."

"I have a bad history." Alice interrupted him calmly.

This left Klein speechless. Before he could speak again, Alice asked his second question:

"In this case, you said...

"He has been buried in the coffin for so long. Is there any hope of resurrection?"

"...You want to resurrect him?" Klein asked slightly hesitantly.

Alice glanced at Klein, shook her head and said:

"No.

“I’m afraid he’ll crawl out and try what it’s like to be a faceless man.

"You look more like a heroine after all."

"...?" Klein sat upright, "What about you? Also, why do I look like the heroine?"

"I am your golden finger," Alice calmly and clearly found her position. "You are the heroine who has struggled all her life and finally married the hero with all her achievements and golden fingers as a dowry."

"?" Klein slapped her on the head.

Alice screamed and realized that Klein really didn't like the script very much. She gave up provoking the great Mr. Fool and made a new request:

"Don't hit me, I won't say anything!

"Um...when you summon the messenger, how do you summon it?"

"Have you tried it?" Klein asked subconsciously.

"No," Alice shook her head, "I just remembered it."

Klein was choked for a moment. He tried to recall how long ago he gave the contract to Alice, and then he felt choked even more.

"How did you do it..." He hesitated, "Forget it, I will go back and sort out the spells and results used in my summoning letter and send them to you. You can try them?"

Alice nodded and agreed to the proposal. (End of chapter)
