Mystery: Lucky

"No," Alice pinched the mouse's ear with a finger, "Actually, there is something about you that I'm still very interested in."

"What?" Flora asked subconsciously.

"Your extraordinary characteristics." Alice stretched out her hand and smoothed the mouse's fur. "This fur feels really bad...Hey, why don't you look like you're not too scared?"

"Don't be ridiculous..." Flora glanced at Alice and seemed to find her words a bit funny. "For an angel in perfect condition, killing me is just a thought."

News about Miss Destiny spread a lot, and Flora had actually heard a lot about it.

He claims to have swallowed a "0" level sealed object by mistake. According to rumors, his personality is more like that of an inexperienced child. Most of them, those who know more about high-sequences, suspect that he is essentially a "human being". 0" level sealed object.

In other words, it might be more like He was swallowed by the sealed object.

Just now he claimed to have awakened in the second era, which also matches up with part of the information - he is suspected to have a close relationship with the goddess of the night.

In addition, He has a close relationship with the adventurer Gehrman Sparrow, who has just become famous. He is suspected to belong to the same force. In the early days, some people even speculated whether He had some kind of sexual relationship with Gehrman Sparrow. relationship, as for now...

Most people think that Herman's identity is more like a nanny.

Of course, these are just private rumors. No one dares to speak out these speculations in person, so naturally these things cannot be verified. The only thing Flora can be sure of is that this is a real angel - one who can use power as a toy kind of.

Therefore, Flora did not think that Alice was sincere when she wanted to kill her, because it would not take much effort for such an angel, and her current situation did not mean that she had a protector behind her.

But Alice raised her eyes and slowly gave another answer:

"You're right...but I think it might be better to give a gift like yours alive?

"And I haven't decided who to give it to... Amon or the ancestor of the Zoroastrian family, which one do you prefer?"

"...?" Flora froze in place. She looked at Alice, hoping to tell whether it was a joke.

But none of Alice's words seemed like a joke, and this sentence was certainly no exception. Flora could only show horror at Alice's sincere inquiry, and she smiled reluctantly:

"You, you must be joking, right...?"

"It seems like you don't like it very much..." Alice frowned, "But I don't know the ancestors of your Jacob family, so I can't give you to your ancestors?"

Flora's expression gradually became dull. Looking at her expression, Alice shook her head and laughed again:

“Well, actually I haven’t decided whether to tell the truth or not—I’m actually not sure whether to tell the church.

"After all, I just don't want my dear friend to appear at a noble banquet one day."

Well, speaking of it, if you look like that, Klein will be exposed to Amon...

Realizing this, Alice suddenly became vigilant. Her original hostility towards Hazel and Flora was just because she didn't want Amon to suddenly appear near her, but now she didn't want Amon to discover Klein's traces.

The latter is far more important to Alice than the former. After all, Amon will not really kill her for the time being, but he will never show mercy to Klein.

She stared at the dark brown mouse and successfully made Flora, who was hiding in the mouse's body, aware of the danger. She thought about what Alice had just said.

She didn't ask Alice who she meant by her best friend, because when she mentioned her best friend, her tone sounded like she was going to cut the other person into pieces - it sounded more like an enemy.

However, Flora was certain that it must be an angel from the "Stealer" path. Knowing this was enough for Flora, and she promised:

"My student has a manor on the outskirts of Backlund, and I will ask her to send me there."

This is not safe enough. Only killing her is safe enough, but, well...

Alice had a rare act of kindness. She thought of Hazel who had just left, and thought that this might have a big psychological impact on Hazel. It would be best to stay away, kill her, and then run away disguised as the mouse. Already...

Well, she just thought it was troublesome to explain to Hazel, but if she killed Hazel directly, she would face even more trouble.

As for forwarding the news about Flora to the church...well, this seems to be an idea, I'll think about it later...

Alice nodded with satisfaction, looked at the mouse who was relaxed a lot due to her attitude, and smiled:

"All right."

She did not remind Flora of the possibility of being discovered in the suburbs, but stood up and opened the door. Hazel, who was guarding the door, was startled by the sudden sound of opening the door. She looked up and saw Alice, and said in a hurry:

"I'm waiting here for the teacher to call me!"

Inexplicable... Alice glanced at her, turned and went downstairs.

At the stairs on the first floor, Alice met the second person guarding her. Winfred was standing not far from the stairs. When he saw her coming down, he smiled at her falsely:

"Oh, you're finally back... I thought you didn't plan to come down.

"You and Miss Hazel must have had a great time chatting, right? Unlike me, I don't know what you like to hear at all, and I will only say things that you are too lazy to talk to."

Inexplicable...Alice looked up at her and persuaded:

"You and Hazel must be very good at talking."

"?" Winfred glanced upstairs in confusion, and then back at Alice.

Alice ignored Winfried. She glanced at Klein who was enjoying the food, shook her head, turned and walked towards the door of the hall.

The dance was still in the middle of the night, and it was actually extremely impolite to leave the host's house at this time. However, it was not considered overstepping the bounds to go for a stroll in the garden.

Although she had never attended a dance seriously, at least Alice could still figure this out. She stepped into the garden and walked around slowly.

Walking among the flowers, Alice searched everywhere, and finally she found a flower with many petals.

Alice stretched out her hand and picked off the flower, and then removed the petals one by one as she walked, and threw them out while murmuring:

"Kill Flora, tell Amon, tell Pales, tell the church..."

Yes, she is counting petals.

Alice certainly didn't intend to get results through this kind of thing, she was just trying to think in the process.

She did not try to predict. She had the experience of bumping into Adam in a prophetic dream. Alice clearly realized that it would be difficult for her to predict Amon accurately, and there would be problems somewhere.

This was bad, and Alice didn't want to try such a dangerous thing, so she just threw a petal in for fun.

But Winfred was like a lingering ghost. He paused for a moment and then followed her out of the hall and found her counting petals in the garden.

"What are you doing?" The girl grabbed the flower without ceremony.

Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted, Alice frowned and looked at Winfried with cold eyes.

The dangerous message emanated from her body. Winfred was obviously not a fool. She realized the source of the danger at this moment and gritted her teeth and said:

"I, we, aren't we friends?"

Her voice trembled slightly, and there was an inexplicable grievance in her fear. Alice looked at her for a long time before she remembered that Winfred had indeed asked herself whether they could be considered friends when they first met.

Her answer at the time was "yes."

As for now...

The irritability that turned into tears a long time ago came up again. Alice arbitrarily snatched away the flower that Winfred had just snatched away, and then crushed the petals of the flower wantonly in front of her, without any traces. Throw it to the ground without mercy.

The broken petals were scattered on the ground, and only the broken stamens remained of the flower itself. Winfried looked at the flowers on the ground, raised his head with emotion, and asked blankly:

"Is this how you want to treat our friendship?"

friendship? When did we have friendship... Alice glanced at Winfried, raised a cruel smile and asked:

"You can crush this flower like this, right?"

Winfred nodded.

"So," Alice tilted her head to look at her, "will you make friends with this flower?"

Winfred was stunned for a moment, and Alice smiled casually without waiting for her answer:

"You won't - no one will be friends with something that they can easily crush or kill."

Saying this, she lifted her foot and passed Winfried, and walked towards the hall.

She had only taken a few steps when a trembling but firm voice sounded behind her:

"I can."

Alice turned around, and Winfred still had his back to her. Alice saw Winfred bending down, as if picking something up from the ground, and then turned around again, and Alice saw Winfred in her hand. He is holding the broken body of the flower.

"I will," she said again, her voice no longer shaking.

Alice looked into her eyes, her eyes were firm. Looking at those rare black eyes, Alice thought of Evelyn and the captain again after a long absence.

In fact, I can do it too... She sighed and lowered her eyes. Under Winfried's gaze, their figures moved forward, backward, and rotated, and finally they were restored like torn flowers.

Winfred lowered his head blankly and looked at the flower that was still not quite intact in his hand.

Alice reached out and picked up the flower again, and smiled at Winfried:

"But Hua won't believe it."

With that said, Alice threw the flower back to the ground.

The half-remained flower rolled feebly on the ground and fell to Winfred's feet. Winfred stared at the flower and whispered:

"...But I will believe it."

Alice paused.

She thought again of Evelyn, who immediately drew a clear line with her, and the captain who called her "Your Excellency." In the end, Alice just sighed and said softly:

“That’s such a shame… If only I had met you in the first place.

"Because I can no longer be friends with flowers."

With that said, she raised her step for the second time and passed Winfried without hesitation.

Behind her, Winfred didn't look back. It wasn't until the sound of the light footsteps disappeared from her ears that she raised her legs and stepped on the flower. She ran over it over and over again as if venting her anger, completely stepping into the flower. In the dirt.

Alice didn't pay attention to all this. As she said, she no longer wants to be friends with mortals because she has realized that equality is the basis of friendship.

Alice returned to the ball hall. Judging from the flow of musicians and people on the dance floor, the ball was still some time away from the end. Alice thought about it, sat at the table and continued to be a dinner party.

It wasn't until the end of the dance that Alice followed the crowd and left. She was neither the first nor the last person.

However, after leaving Senator Macht's house, Alice did not go home immediately. Instead, she appeared in Mr. Fool's bedroom, and then sent a message to Mr. Fool, asking him to come over quickly.

So, Dawn Dantès, who returned home from the dance, returned to the bedroom after cleaning up, closed the bedroom door, and then looked at Alice who was sitting calmly by the bed and asked:

"...Don't you think it's weird to sit on the bed of a stranger of the opposite sex?"

Alice raised her eyes and replied lazily:

“First of all, I don’t think the two of us are strangers.

"Secondly, if you wish, I can be your same sex in my next life.

"In the end, I feel that there is no need to worry so much between mother and daughter."

"?" Klein looked at Alice with a questioning look.

Just as he was about to speak, Alice raised her hand to interrupt him and warned him solemnly:

"You stay away from Hazel."

Sure enough, she found something wrong with Hazel... Realizing this, Klein stopped worrying about what happened just now, walked into her and asked:

"What's going on?"

Alice waved and motioned for Klein to sit down together, then half-leaned on the bed and replied slowly:

“Well… let me think about where to start with you.

“First of all, Hazel possesses an extraordinary item from the ‘Stealer’ path, and she is also a Sequence 9 ‘Stealer’.

"Then, there is a demigod from the 'Stealer' pathway in Hazel's family. She claims to be a descendant of the Jacob family. She is currently in a weak state and has to live in the body of a mouse.

"The demigod said her name was Flora Jacob, and she came to Backlund to find a treasure belonging to the Jacob family.

"Currently...if I'm not wrong, Hazel is mainly looking for her right now. She seems to go to the sewers every night.

"They don't have the specific location of the treasure, so they rely on the ability of the 'thief' to find the treasure. In addition, Flora promised me that she would let Hazel send her to a suburban manor.

"However, I still feel that this is not safe enough. I am worried that Amon will come to the door through her, and then Amon may find you..." (End of Chapter)
