Mystery: Lucky

Alice described what she learned as clearly as possible, and then asked Klein:

"Do you have any suggestions for how to deal with this matter?"

"...Report to the church?" Klein answered as expected.

Alice was choked. She realized that asking Klein about similar questions was definitely not a wise decision, so she quickly returned to her original purpose:

"...Forget it, stay away from Hazel."

"I'm afraid it's difficult to avoid..." Klein glanced at Alice helplessly, "I can't just not go to her banquet... Oh, by the way, I have something to tell you."

Alice turned to look at him.

Klein considered talking to Alice about Winfred:

"Do you know Winfried Grigory? After you and Hazel went upstairs..."

He roughly described what happened after Alice went upstairs. After hearing this, Alice pursed her lower lip and suddenly looked at him with a serious look in her eyes.

"...What are you doing?" Klein became nervous for no reason.

Alice stared at Klein for more than ten seconds but couldn't think of a suitable question. She realized that whether it was friends, colleagues, or similar words, it seemed that they were not enough to describe the relationship between them, so it was applicable to It seems that those relationship questions should not be asked.

After thinking about it, Alice found that the most suitable word between them was actually "ally". Although this word seemed too unfamiliar, it seemed that what connected them was really just a common goal - although the goal is no longer there, But at least their goals don't conflict.

…What if the goals conflict?

Alice opened her mouth, but in the end she did not bring up such a realistic topic. Instead, with Klein's increasingly nervous expression, she reached out and quickly touched his hair, and then commented:

"Well, it feels much more comfortable than that mouse's fur..."

"?" Klein's eyes widened. Before he could react, Alice disappeared from the spot, leaving him only a hand of air.

…

Backlund time, three o'clock in the afternoon.

Rays of deep red light lit up on both sides of the mottled long table, solidifying into blurry, different figures.

Alice watched this scene patiently, waiting for Miss Justice's familiar voice to start the new week's Tarot session.

In the end, she did not tell the church about Flora, but she did not kill Flora either. She just secretly paid attention to Flora, Hazel, and Senator Macht and his wife, to prevent any of them from suddenly wearing singletons one day. glasses.

The reason why she didn't bother was because Alice had a vague hunch that the time when the scene would appear wouldn't be too far away.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~" "Justice" Audrey's pleasant voice sounded.

Alice collected her thoughts and turned her attention to "Justice" Audrey. She watched her greet everyone in turn, and then looked at "Hermit" Cattleya.

"Hermit" Cattleya did not disappoint Alice's expectations. She stood up, lowered her head and said:

"Mr. Fool, this time there are three pages of Emperor Russell's diary."

It's not a whole book... Alice frowned slightly and looked away.

Klein was not as impatient as Alice. He just chuckled and said:

"very good.

"You may consider requesting."

After saying this, Klein lowered his head and started browsing the diary.

With the "Joker"'s extraordinary ability, Klein's process of reading the diary was destined to be boring. Alice only took a few glances before losing interest and scratching the table with her nails.

This harsh sound made the people around her glance at her unconsciously several times, but they all hesitated to speak, and finally turned their encouraging glances to others.

The one who finally stopped Alice was the "world" at the end of the long table, or the unbearable Klein:

"Are you bored?"

Alice nodded sincerely.

"Just bear with it," "The World" responded without emotion.

Alice slapped the table angrily and sat upright. The expression on her gritted teeth made the others sweat for the "world". But strangely, Alice just grinded her teeth and sat back down. He just kept glaring at "the world" with evil eyes.

The scene became harmonious in an inexplicable way until Mr. Fool finished reading the diary, let the diary disappear in his hand, smiled at Cattleya the Hermit and asked:

"What is your request?"

It was only then that Alice's attention was successfully diverted. She also looked at "Hermit" Cattleya, holding her chin up and waiting for the question.

"Hermit" Cattleya asked directly without thinking:

"Dear Mr. Fool, I would like to know if Emperor Russell has ever joined a very secretive and ancient organization."

Alice glanced at "Hermit" Cattleya, and she suddenly realized that Bernadette had actually given the question to "Hermit" Cattleya, so she remembered the earliest replaced question.

It seems that they should be quite familiar with each other. At least Ms. "Hermit" should also know the relationship between Bernadette and Emperor Russell very well. Otherwise, Ms. "Hermit" would not be able to change the problem by herself... It is worthy of saying that Is she suspected of being an adopted daughter?

Alice thought of the rumors on the sea again, and the fact that Cattleya the Hermit and the Queen of Mystery actually broke up after a quarrel. Then, she thought of Zaratul. Bernadette, who was predicted to be an enemy of Emperor Russell.

...Great Emperor, there is something wrong with your family’s family education!

Alice let out a meaningless sigh that no one could hear.

Very secretive and very ancient... "Justice" Audrey suddenly remembered the organization she had heard Mr. "The Fool" talk about before.

Obviously, the statement "whatever is said shall be known" fits very well with the idea of ​​secrecy and ancient assumptions.

"The Hanged Man" Alger also recalled the corresponding incident. He remembered that when Miss "Justice" described the "Apostle of Desire" incident in Backlund, she mentioned a mysterious organization. At that time, Mr. "The Fool" told the members that in Don’t let the outside world say the name of that organization, because “everyone who has something to say will be known”!

Such an organization is indeed in line with the level of Emperor Russell... Alger nodded mentally.

While they were thinking, Klein responded. He smiled slightly and affirmed to Cattleya the Hermit:

"Yes."

Alice was stunned for a moment, raised her eyes to look at Klein, and suddenly realized that Ms. Hermit only asked "Is there any" but not "What is it".

This way of answering questions is not unfamiliar to Alice, because she has not only seen it before, but she also likes to play similar word games. However, this does not prevent Alice from making sharp comments on Klein's behavior:

"Profiteer."

"!" "Hermit" Cattleya forcibly controlled her desire to look at Alice, and also did not dare to raise her head to see the figure hidden in the gray mist. She was just glad that she had not stood up to ask questions, otherwise she would just Being able to stand there awkwardly.

Miss Destiny, you are really... "Hermit" Cattleya sighed silently, not happy that a god spoke for her.

No one said anything in the Tarot Club for a while. Several old people, including "The Hanged Man" Alger, had skillfully completed the action of lowering their heads. As for the others who did not react immediately, they quickly followed suit. Headed.

Klein glanced at Alice speechlessly, then smiled and said:

"It's your turn."

Everyone took a breath and raised their heads. Cattleya the Hermit stood up and bowed to the head of the long bronze table, but said nothing. Instead, she turned around and said to Forsi the Magician:

"I want to know the clues to the direct descendants of Abraham's family. 1,000 pounds."

So valuable... Alice took a small breath and looked at "Magician" Forsi, who had always been very short of money.

"Magician" Forsi ate some first, and soon realized that this incident was not too surprising. She drank a little and said:

"What are you doing with them?

"If you can provide a reason, I can convey it to them. As for whether there will be subsequent developments, it all depends on their wishes. I can't be sure."

"Hey," Alice glanced at "Magician" Forsi with a little surprise, "You don't want to sell it?"

Fors paused for a moment. She didn't expect that she would be spoken to for such a reason. She turned her head, considered Alice and asked:

"Would you betray... betray information about someone close to you?"

When she said this, she resisted the urge to move her gaze to the top of the long bronze table, and instead looked at the "world" at the bottom.

Alice also followed the gaze of "Magician" Forsi and looked at "The World", then she chuckled and said:

"Your Mr. World sold my information for £50."

"Huh?" The unexpected answer made Forsi look at the world in shock.

This answer was obviously equally surprising to the others. They looked at each other, sometimes looking at "the world", sometimes at Alice.

Klein thought for a while, then controlled the "world" to add this sentence:

"Miss Destiny is the deity I believe in, and at some point, we can be considered friends.

"So, we have to pay more."

"Magician" Forsi felt that her worldview had been greatly impacted. She looked at "The World" and then at Alice, her eyes filled with the desire to speak and the hesitation to speak.

"Okay," Alice spread her hands and explained aloud, "He didn't tell the really important news, and the person he told it to didn't have the ability to hurt me."

So that's it... Everyone looked away silently.

"Hermit" Cattleya also recovered from this shock. She withdrew her attention, looked at "Magician" Forsi again, nodded and said:

"That makes sense.

"I am looking for direct descendants of the Abraham family in the hope of getting information about Mr. Gate. You can convey this to them to see if there is any chance of cooperation.

"Well, just to convey it, I will also pay you 350 pounds in cash. If they are willing to contact you, there will be another 650 pounds in the future."

Forsi endured it for a full second before replying: "Deal."

After she finished speaking, she could appreciate the meaning hidden in Ms. "Hermit's" words.

Hmm, Mr. "Gate" is related to the Abraham family? Also, my bracelet comes from Mrs. Anlisa and belongs to the Abraham family...

Well, the teacher doesn’t know that I already know that he is from the Abraham family... I can only casually mention it in the letter, saying that at a gathering in a certain circle, I heard someone looking for a direct descendant of the Abraham family. What kind of Mr. "Gate" is involved? I don’t know how the teacher will react...

At this time, Miss Justice next to her was sincerely happy for her friend, feeling that she had finally escaped from bankruptcy.

Fors is already Sequence 7, and is about to catch up with me. I have to strive to become a "hypnotist" as soon as possible... As she thought so, she looked at the members of the Tarot Club with a flickering look, hoping to get clues about the fruit of the psychedelic wind chime tree.

Fors lowered her head in such a look, while Alice looked at her in confusion and asked:

"Do you want to ask something?"

"..." Audrey silently looked away and looked at the resource-rich "Hanged Man" Alger and "Hermit" Cattleya.

In this hopeful look, the "Hanged Man" Alger on the opposite side pondered for two seconds and said:

"I have a clue, but it will take at least two weeks to get it."

"No problem!" Audrey was delighted and didn't even ask the price.

Alice looked at Audrey with admiration, and was attracted by the voice of "Hermit" Cattleya:

"Miss Destiny, is it convenient for you to prepare the blood of mythical creatures now?"

"Ah!" Alice suddenly remembered this matter, and she laughed, "Are you willing to wait another month? Maybe I can get you the blood of my enemy."

"......?" "Hermit" Cattleya looked at Alice hesitantly.

"Hanged Man" Alger and "Justice" Audrey also looked at Alice, with a kind of excitement hidden in their eyes.

"Enemy?" "World" frowned and asked.

Alice glanced at "World", and then looked at Klein through the gray fog, and found that there was a trace of subtle worry in his eyes, so she smiled and leaned back in the chair and said:

"Well... After all, He is about to be born~

"If everything goes well, I might be able to get a little of His umbilical cord blood... At that time, you can have as much as you want, and it's not a question to give you all... Uh, if you can afford it. "

Alice waved her hand proudly, but she withdrew it silently halfway through the wave. She looked at Cattleya solemnly and emphasized the importance of money.

She was so confident that it seemed that there was no big problem, but I'd better ask clearly later... Klein silently withdrew his gaze.

Miss Fate really did not forget her original intention... Audrey looked at Alice with a strange expression.

Alice was obviously aware of the awkward atmosphere. She coughed twice and changed the subject in a panic:

"Oh, don't look at me, I have something to ask you!

"Have you heard of... uh, have you heard of, what is the 'broken prophecy'?

"Or, 'fragments of the prophecy'? Anyway, it's roughly the meaning." (End of this chapter)
