Mystery: Lucky

The continuous "urges" finally gave Alice a rare sense of urgency. Although she turned a blind eye to the "prophet's eye", Alice did seriously consider her promotion.

Alice managed to fall asleep before the question could be answered.

When the morning sun woke her up, Alice felt dazed. It took her a while to realize that it was the next morning.

After breakfast, Alice began to continue thinking about the questions she had not finished last night.

Archbishop Anthony told her that the Sequence 4 "Darkless Ones" of the "Sun" pathway can separate low-sequence extraordinary characteristics from high-sequences. Alice believed that this was a manifestation of purification authority, and they would most likely be able to purify pollution.

This was one of her planned ways to gain the Chaos Walker's extraordinary properties, though she didn't actually plan it.

Last night, Alice thought that she might have another method - such a big "School of Life" couldn't even have a "Chaos Walker", right?

As for those people possibly being innocent... well, that's something Crane would mind, Alice only knows Will Ascetin's men.

"However, it's time to move forward with the auxiliary materials. The progress of the performance..." Alice's muttering paused.

The "Eye of the Prophet" made Alice realize that these "Prophet" sealed objects sent over would most likely have more than just the function of providing extraordinary properties. In fact, if the method was right, it seemed to help her digest the magic potion.

When she was at Bernadette's place, she was not aware of this matter. Although there was feedback from the role, it was not obvious enough. If the next "Prophet" sealed item is sent again in this harmful way...

Alice kept this in mind silently.

But, having said that, including "Cassandra", this is already the third one, right? Why I still haven’t seen a living “prophet”…

...They can't all be dead, right?

Alice thought of the honorable name "Cassandra" again. Although "Cassandra" did not seem to be alive, it was a sealed artifact that could communicate, and the other party knew her...

...I'm going to find that book?

Alice's movements paused, and she suddenly recalled a scene in her memory - a donkey that kept running because there was a carrot hanging in front of it.

"..." Alice pursed her lips.

Even though she was reluctant to compare herself to a donkey, Alice had to admit that in this regard, she was indeed like a donkey with a carrot dangled.

The earliest carrot was memory. In her memory, there was a world that was almost completely different from the present, and an inexplicable sentence that seemed to have a profound meaning. However, she could not remember her past, so she became curious about her memory. The heart intends to find people related to that world, or something else.

The second carrot was the past. She gradually realized that she had awakened in this world before and even left traces. She tried to figure out what she had done before, but this carrot did not seem attractive enough and her motivation was not that great. adequate……

So, the third carrot appeared - maybe it was hatred, maybe it was unwillingness. Alice couldn't quite define this emotion. In short, she definitely didn't want the "Key of Light" to win, even if she didn't know it at all. What is the bet on "Key of Light"?

No, it doesn't matter what He bets on, as long as the bet is shattered... we can lose together.

...But I actually still kind of want to win.

Alice let out a breath and thought about the supplementary materials again.

——After all, the main material is to kill a saint.

Perhaps for the sake of the style of Sequence 3, the auxiliary materials for "Chaos Walker" are not as easy to understand as before. Although there is only the same thing, Alice still doesn't understand what it is.

"All the pieces of a broken prophecy."

...?

You see, it's really hard to understand.

In fact, combined with the ritual, Alice felt like she could figure it out - you see, the prophecy is broken, it's very reasonable to collect the fragments and put together a new one, isn't it?

The principle is actually very clear. The problem is...

How on earth should such things be collected?

It's not even as easy to understand as the auxiliary material of "Prophet", which is particularly concise and concise - "The Water of the River of Destiny".

Although Alice still couldn't figure out how to get this thing.

Alice sighed without any hope and murmured in a low voice:

"I really hope that the auxiliary materials of other channels are also in this style... I am not the only one who suffers from this, and I can still laugh at him when he waits for Klein Sequence 3... Although judging from the ritual, this is probably It’s just a very path-style material.

"Well, since killing Extraordinary people can extract Extraordinary characteristics, why can't we go one step further and get auxiliary materials directly from Extraordinary people? That, in that case..."

Alice licked her lips, lowered her head, slowly stretched out her hands, and muttered to herself with a slight hesitation:

"...Does human flesh taste good?"

She stared at her hands and forearms for more than ten seconds. After that, Alice raised her head and looked around. After realizing that there could be no one here except those she couldn't see, she slowly raised her head. arm, opened his mouth and bit it.

This bite was merciless, and she quickly let go of her arm in pain, revealing teeth marks with saliva.

"Hiss, it hurts..." Alice took a breath, blinked at the tooth marks on her arm, and everything went back to before she lowered her mouth.

Looking at her arms that were smooth again, Alice comforted herself in a low voice:

"Well... Theoretically speaking, angels are no longer humans. They are complete mythical creatures after all. Strictly speaking, my current race should actually be the 'mercury snake'...

"If I want to try whether human flesh tastes good, I should ask someone else, for example..."

Alice touched her chin and suddenly had a good idea. She closed her eyes, folded her hands on her chest, and recited in ancient Hermetic:

"The fool who does not belong to this era,

"The mysterious master above the gray fog,

"The King of Yellow and Black who controls good luck,

"What about that, Klein, can you let me take a bite?

"I want to know if human flesh tastes good..."

If it tastes good, I can put... Uh, wait, something seems wrong.

Alice stopped praying. After a while, she patted her head in a daze and said to herself:

"No, I haven't confirmed whether the flesh and blood of extraordinary people can be eaten as auxiliary materials!"

This is the core of the problem.

Alice shook her head, lowered her head and began to think about who she should go to for confirmation.

First of all, Alice thinks that Klein must not know about this, otherwise he would talk to her about it in horror - this is definitely not in line with Klein's views.

The second face she remembered was Anthony with a gentle smile. Apart from the frequent procedures he needed to go through, this gentleman was full of patience with her. Although judging from Klein's angry performance from time to time and Amon's gritted teeth, Alice thought that He was forced.

It was like he was forced to work 24 hours a day.

Oh no, he still needs to eat. There should be less than 24 hours in that day, and it’s not certain that he doesn’t need to sleep. He didn’t actually say it explicitly... However, the saint’s need for food has actually dropped a lot...

"It's a good thing I'm not a born 'sleepless'..." Alice muttered quietly and drew a Crimson Moon logo on her chest.

However, asking Archbishop Anthony seemed unlikely. Alice knew very well that most people would have a horrified attitude toward her question, unless...

..."Aurora Society"?

Alice blinked, remembering Ourolius.

"But, if I want to ask Ouroleus, if He will really answer, I don't need to ask this at all. I can directly ask how to collect the auxiliary materials..." Alice said to herself, "I might as well Ask Amon...well, that seems like a good idea."

——Amon will definitely not show any fear at the fact that she intends to eat people.

No, He will even encourage me, but I absolutely cannot ask Him...

Not to mention whether the answer she got from Amon was true or false, even if it was true, Alice felt that Amon would cheat her.

Moreover, Amon will also find ways to deceive information from me... Really, why can't Amon sit down and have a good talk with me? Why do you have to lie to me...forget it, that would not be the embodiment of fraud.

Alice sighed and gave up on this unrealistic delusion.

She sighed sadly, and then cheered up, because she remembered that there was actually another person connected with Amon's name.

"Adam?" she shouted into the air, "Are you watching? Whether you were here before or not, you are definitely here now. I have a question to ask you - can the flesh and blood of extraordinary people be used as auxiliary materials for potions?"

The room was quiet, and no one paid any attention to her, just like every time before.

"How come you don't seem to be worried at all about me actually trying to eat it..." Alice sat upright and decided to be shameless.

Don't get me wrong, she didn't continue to ask Adam, she just thought of someone who it didn't matter even if he was scared by her.

Yes, it was Bernadette who asked her for help yesterday.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Bernadette was a suitable choice. As a demigod of the "Peeper" path, and with a father who had once become the "Emperor of Knowledge", Bernadette's knowledge in mysticism was unquestionable. .

As for her image with Bernadette... Haha, does she still have an image with Bernadette?

Alice shook her head and muttered:

"It feels worse than my image in the Tarot Club..."

As of today, Alice has some understanding of her image in the Tarot Club.

The members of the Tarot Society feared her more than they respected her. In the early days, they were even completely afraid. At that time, in their impression, she was an evil god who acted recklessly - although she was indeed.

Alice does not deny this. She has a clear self-understanding of this. Even now, Alice does not think she can be classified into any lawful good camp, but the members of the Tarot Society seem to have a certain respect for her. It's changed a bit - mainly starting with Derrick "The Sun".

Little "sun"...

Alice sighed and thought of the tragic situation in Silver City and Moon City again.

...Even to that extent, they would rather eat monster meat than try the corpses of their compatriots.

Alice vaguely realized that cannibalism itself might have some sinister connotations.

Although the memory of the ten years of school life may be an illusory dream, the dream did bring her many things, such as the story of cannibalism in the history textbook.

That is... the human nature that disappears in the face of disaster.

Alice cautiously gave up the idea of ​​trying to eat human flesh and blood. She knew that this was much more dangerous for her than for others. The fact that she could naturally have such an idea was enough to explain the problem.

However, it was still necessary to ask Bernadette...

Alice wrote a letter of inquiry in the study. At this time, she no longer had the idea of ​​trying to eat a person in her mind. She just wanted to satisfy her curiosity.

In the choice of the messenger, Alice chose Bernadette, the strange messenger, without hesitation. On the one hand, "Gaga" did not know Bernadette, and on the other hand...

When she signed the contract with the bird, her purpose was no longer to let the bird deliver the letter.

Otherwise, she should at least ask about the bird's speed and safety...

Bernadette's reply came faster than expected, and Alice received the reply that night.

She unfolded the envelope, and as expected, Bernadette knew about this matter - she gave a positive answer, telling herself in the letter that the corpse of the Beyonder could indeed serve as auxiliary materials in a certain sense.

In other words, the Beyonder itself is equivalent to a low-profile potion.

But Bernadette didn't know what her mentality was. In short, the letter was written densely on a page, and the part answering the questions only occupied a small paragraph at the beginning, and most of the rest of the content, Bernadette was persuading her not to eat people.

Very good, it seems that this is indeed a very serious question.

Alice put the letter away again, sighed helplessly, stared at the ground and murmured:

"Do I really have to ask Ouroboros how to get that auxiliary material?

"I can't ask Will Ausetin...Oh, my honorable name! "

Alice sat up in shock from her dying illness, and suddenly remembered this thing that she and Mr. Fool had forgotten again.

She sat up straight, and just at this moment received Mr. Fool's reply about whether she could bite him:

"If you are just curious about the taste of human flesh, I can actually tell you...

"I have read about this before. Human flesh is sour and not delicious at all. I don't recommend you to try it.

"You can eat something that tastes better and has more nutritional value, right?" (End of this chapter)
