Mystery: Lucky

Alice hesitantly cast her gaze on Klein.

Is he scolding me...

Alice was vaguely aware of this, but she knew she couldn't just ask, so she could only swallow the question angrily.

Bishop Electra expertly picked up what Dwayne Dantès said:

"It's okay, it's just a bit hard. At least it doesn't sound like your excellent hunter's past experience, which may be life-threatening at any time."

That's not necessarily the case... Klein spent a lot of effort to hold back the words that almost blurted out.

"Yes, you are such an excellent hunter!" Maury Macht also praised him. While he was talking, he picked up a small piece of red velvet cake and successfully drew Alice's attention to the tempting looking thing. On the cake, "When I was serving in Dongba Lao, I never had the opportunity to enter the jungle. I didn't expect it to be so dangerous."

As he said this, Alice watched him put a piece of cake into his mouth.

He swallowed the cake without chewing it. After Alice stared at his Adam's apple rolling around, her eyes moved to his face again.

After freezing for a few seconds, Alice looked at Liana without saying a word. A strange feeling in her heart became clearer. She subconsciously reached out and pushed the monocle on her right eye. At a certain moment, she The couple were seen smiling and wearing two monocles.

...?

Alice's eyes widened in shock. She took a closer look and saw that they were not a couple. It was clearly two rats—two rats wearing monocles.

Alice jumped up in surprise. Senator Macht and his wife became human again in her eyes, and they both looked at her in confusion.

Alice sat back down, not caring about their questions, and asked bluntly:

“Do you know anyone who likes to wear monocles recently?

"No, it should be the mouse who likes to wear a monocle..."

Her voice gradually became quieter because she realized that this sentence seemed outrageous. Maybe Klein and Bishop Elektra could realize what she was talking about, but Senator Macht and his wife would only treat her as a lunatic.

Like it is now.

Alice cast her eyes for help on Bishop Alectra. With his serious eyes, he obviously did not regard this as nonsense. He smiled and said to ease the embarrassment:

"You know, little girls of this age always have some strange fantasies, such as mice wearing monocles, talking crows and so on."

Senator Maury Macht and his wife Liana nodded and stopped looking at Alice.

Obviously, these few weak words failed to change her image.

Alice exhaled, leaned back, pretended she was mute, and concentrated on eating.

Of course, M. Dwayne Dantès could not serve everyone just drinks, although he really wanted to do so. He even wanted to serve only water, or nothing at all.

But the housekeeper Taneya is a very reliable person. She served everyone drinks at the beginning to ease their anxious mood, and later added snacks to make the afternoon tea enjoyable.

Seeing everyone chatting, Alice immersed herself in eating. As if she hadn't eaten in thousands of years, she quickly ate everything in front of her, and then interrupted when everyone was chatting:

"Can I order more food?"

Dwayne Dantès looked at the manservant standing aside without changing his expression.

After she finished her third afternoon tea snack, Bishop Elektra stood up and left apologetically, looking at the unchanging expression of Dawn Dantès and the hesitant eyes of Senator Macht and his wife with a smile on her face. Si left here.

As soon as she went out, Alice couldn't wait to tell Bishop Electra what happened just now:

“I saw them turn into Amon!

"No, you can't say that. I actually saw them turn into mice wearing monocles..."

"Them?" Bishop Elektra asked with a frown.

"Yes," Alice nodded, "that congressman and his wife."

Bishop Elektra understood. He nodded and asked:

"Would you mind stopping by their house?"

"...Should I go now?" Alice asked subconsciously.

Bishop Elektra shook his head and asked first:

"Do you want to go as a clergyman of the church or something else?"

"Are these two different?" Alice asked.

Bishop Elektra nodded and replied:

“If it’s the former, the next time someone does it…usually it’s me.

"I can take you with me when I visit Senator Macht next time."

Alice immediately realized that she had not seen Bishop Electra's time, and that this gentleman must have gone on a field trip.

But Alice still had a question. She frowned and asked, "Can't I go alone?"

Bishop Elektra said nothing and glanced at Alice with a smile.

That smile reminded Alice of Archbishop Anthony inexplicably. She ducked her eyes guiltily, and soon she puffed up her chest as if she had remembered something, and said proudly:

"The archbishop said I can be a bishop too!"

After a pause, her mind became active again, and she asked Bishop Electra:

"If I report Amon's location to the church, the church will take care of it, right?"

"Of course." Assistant Elektra nodded without hesitation.

Alice curled her lips, showed a slightly evil smile, and asked maliciously:

“Then what if it’s another wild Beyonder?

"Hmm, a Sequence 1 from the 'School of Life'?"

Bishop Elektra frowned and replied:

"If you are reporting someone of this level, I may need to report it up."

"It doesn't matter," Alice's eyes became excited, "As long as I can cause trouble for Him, it's enough... I want Him to ignore me."

She paused, took a deep breath, and then said loudly:

"I want to report Will Auceptin of the 'School of Life' - he is growing in the womb of an ordinary woman!

"Well, He should be born soon...

"I know where their home is, and their family are all believers of the goddess - will the church care?"

Elektra didn't speak. He frowned and confirmed one thing first:

"Is this a report or a request for help?"

"It's all." Alice spread her hands out, looking like you were taking matters into her own hands.

Bishop Elektra pondered for a moment and then asked: "Do you have anything else to add?"

Alice opened her mouth and gave the address of Dr. Allen's home, and then added:

"This is the address. He abandoned his past body and reincarnated... No, this should be called 'restart'.

“His past body has been discovered, and you should be able to find this in the files.

"Then, I guess you won't be able to kill Him, unless the goddess... But the goddess probably won't do this.

"Although restarting it again will probably be a very troublesome thing for Him, it's not impossible. Don't push Him into a hurry."

Alice was very concerned about Will Asceptin. She earnestly warned Bishop Electra, and the bishop nodded and solemnly promised Alice:

“The church has a lot of experience dealing with things like this… where you don’t have to worry.

"When I get back, I will report it immediately."

…

In the garden of Alan Kress's home.

Velma, who is about to give birth, is walking in the garden with the support of her maid.

She stopped working early due to frequent pregnancy reactions and was forced to take maternity leave. Although later, after a near-miscarriage, she no longer had any pregnancy reactions, but Allen was still worried about letting her go to work by herself. .

So she stayed at home. At this moment, as her delivery date was approaching, she was following Dr. Allen's instructions to maintain a certain amount of exercise every day.

During this period, Velma has been in good condition. She holds her belly with one hand and her waist with the other, walking slowly with the support of the maid, and turning back to say a few words to the maid from time to time.

Suddenly, a sharp pain came from her abdomen. Velma covered her stomach with a pale face and let out a painful groan.

"Madam! What's wrong with you, madam!" The maid quickly supported her and asked her while shouting around, "Quick, go call someone!"

The gardener who was watering the garden did not dare to delay, and immediately stood up from the ground, ignoring the mud on his feet, and rushed indoors, shouting as he rushed:

"Come here! Madam has a stomachache!"

The pain actually disappeared very quickly. By the time the servants came to the garden in chaos, Velma could no longer feel the pain.

But there was no way this matter could be dismissed lightly. She still got on the stretcher carried out by the servants and was carried to the hospital.

This was the hospital where Allen worked. Someone recognized Velma. After seeing Velma, they hurried to notify Allen.

The good news is that Alan Kress was not on the operating table. After finding a doctor to take his place, he immediately went out to look for his wife.

After all, he knew what his wife was carrying.

The examination must still be done. If you don't do the examination, you can't hide it from others. After entrusting his wife to his colleagues, Allen immediately walked into the bathroom, took some water, flushed his face, and looked in the mirror.

The familiar stroller appeared. As usual, the figure didn't want to talk to him. He only said one sentence to him:

“I sensed danger.

"Just like last time."

After that, Allen watched the image in the mirror disappear.

He calmly left the bathroom, completed the examination with his wife, and got the examination results.

The bad news was that the test result wasn't a sign of miscarriage, but another sign that Allen didn't know if it was good news or bad news.

"You have to be prepared," his colleague told him. "Judging from the current situation, this child is likely to be born prematurely."

Premature birth...?

Alan Kress said a thoughtful farewell to his colleagues.

…

Alice finally decided to follow Bishop Electra back to St. Samuel's Church.

She was certainly not here to meddle in matters concerning Will Asceptin.

After all, the purpose of reporting has been achieved, but Alice has no way to intervene in the upward reporting and final decision-making - she is actually here to apply for a job.

"Do you want to sit in a confessional?" Archbishop Anthony asked with a frown after listening patiently to her statement.

This is a very puzzling thing for Anthony. He doesn't think Alice can endure the loneliness of living in the confessional for a day, and he doesn't think Alice has any interest in listening to other people's confessions and comforting others - —It’s good if she doesn’t scare people.

But Alice's thinking was different from his. She only thought that the confessional was a good place to listen to gossip, so she nodded with a smile and said:

"Yes, is that okay?"

To be honest, this was much more reassuring than leaving her outside. After all, this was under the eyes of the goddess. Archbishop Anthony almost wanted to agree, but he held back and continued to ask:

"Do you know what a bishop needs to do?"

Alice opened her fingers and counted them to him: "Listen to confessions, lead prayers, visit believers, preach doctrines..."

When she was talking about preaching doctrine, Archbishop Anthony interrupted her and asked with a frown:

"Do you know what the goddess teaches?"

Alice paused suspiciously.

As for the teachings of the goddess, it is impossible for you to say that she does not know anything about them. She knows more or less, but she cannot meet the requirements of preaching - she cannot tell the teachings completely and fluently.

This is actually the case for most believers.

This result cannot be considered too unexpected for Alice. Archbishop Anthony gave her a headache. I knew in my heart that it would be absolutely impossible for her to study doctrine now, but releasing such a bishop seemed to be a total embarrassment to the church.

Looking at it this way, it might be a good idea to put her in the confessional...?

Anthony glanced at Alice, pondered for a moment, and then decided to ask a question to test her. He recalled his experience as a bishop and gave an inconspicuous example:

"What would you do if someone walked into a confessional and told you he stole your neighbor's money?"

Stealing the neighbor's money... Alice gritted her teeth and took her neighbor's place on the spot. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth and said:

"Can I call the police?"

...quite obedient.

Archbishop Anthony was inexplicably relieved, but this was not the answer he needed. He looked at Alice and emphasized again:

"I'm asking you what you would do, now that you are the confessing bishop."

Alice also remembered this matter. She thought about it for a while, stretched out her hand and tapped four times on her chest, drawing a crimson moon symbol, and said solemnly:

"God will forgive him."

After a pause, she looked at Archbishop Anthony again and asked for confirmation:

"That's what you should say, right?"

Archbishop Anthony felt relieved and nodded.

Then Alice became happy, and she smiled at Archbishop Anthony and added the next sentence:

"You know? Actually, generally speaking, there is a second sentence to this sentence.

"My mission is to send him to see God." (End of Chapter)
