Mystery: Lucky

When the assistant turned around and led the way, Alice saw him look at her and the black cat in his arms with surprise and curiosity.

Alice glanced at Klein and ignored his look after finding that he had no intention of explaining. After all, it had nothing to do with her.

The man dressed as an assistant took Alice to the second floor. After a little hesitation, he took her into a small reception room.

Alice sat on the single sofa obediently, then put the black cat that Klein had possessed with Senior on her knees and lowered her head to stroke its fur.

The black cat fell on her knees under her strength, revealing its soft waist and abdomen to her. Alice reached out and touched it without hesitation, praying:

"I hope I can touch your mythical creature form..."

"Why can't you touch your own?" Klein couldn't help but complain.

Alice replied while stroking his fur:

"Because my mythical creature form has been determined - the 'Mercury Snake' not only has no fur, but also no scales!"

"... So you really plan to touch your own fur?" Klein was shocked.

"I even have goddesses..." Alice's voice suddenly stopped and looked towards the door.

Klein also closed his mouth with her. Not long after, the man dressed as an assistant opened the door, and an older man with gray hair and a thin face came in and sat on another single sofa.

The assistant also followed in. Alice watched him take out tea leaves and tea sets from under the coffee table, and after brewing them, he poured a cup for her and the strange man, and then poured himself a cup, and then sat down.

Alice thought for a moment, put Klein on the last remaining sofa, pushed the teacup over, and then asked the assistant:

"Do you have ice cream?"

The assistant was stunned for a moment, and Klein quickly said: "I'll buy it for you when I go back."

Alice turned her head to look at Klein, then put the black cat back on her knees and brought the teacup back.

The older man who had been watching beside her finally couldn't help it, and he asked with a curious tone:

"Sherlock, what are you doing?"

Klein then turned his attention away from Alice and explained his purpose:

"Mr. Isinger, I remember I told you before that I don't plan to sell the shares of the bicycle for the time being, and I want to transfer it to a friend..."

Isinger nodded. He remembered this incident. His old friend suddenly decided not to sell the shares at the critical moment of the bidding, but to transfer them to a friend. He was curious about the identity of that friend for a long time. Now...

Isinger looked at Alice thoughtfully.

After explaining to Isengard, Klein turned back and introduced himself to Alice:

"This is Mr. Isengard Stanton, a very powerful detective and one of my friends in the past. If you have something to do... forget it, you probably don't need it.

"Anyway, before leaving Backlund, I entrusted the shares of the bicycle to him to handle."

"Hello?" Alice waved at Isengard.

The detective looked like he hadn't seen anyone greet him like this in many years. He raised his hand a little awkwardly and responded tentatively:

"Hello?"

After staring at Isengard for two seconds, Alice reached out and poked Klein on his knees, and told him:

"Go on. "

To make it easier for Klein to talk, Alice simply picked him up and threw him on the coffee table.

Klein stood up from the coffee table with great difficulty, and was glad that the doll had no sense of pain - at least not for the time being.

"Mr. Eisinger," he shouted, "As you can see... I am going to transfer the shares to her."

Eisinger glanced at Alice, then at Klein, and finally asked the same question as Alice:

"Why did you become like this?"

"This..." Klein looked back at Alice, "At first it was to prevent others from finding my traces near her, but later I found that it was futile, but... I'm here now. ”

Esinger Stanton looked at the two of them again. He seemed to confirm something and carefully persuaded Klein:

“Normally, I won’t say anything about my friends’ feelings, but…

“This child, is she an adult?”

Alice looked at Esinger Stanton with a slightly hesitant look. She intuitively felt that there was something wrong with what he said, but she lacked relevant experience and just frowned. She thought about it in confusion for a moment, then lowered her head and asked Klein:

“What does he mean?”

“…It’s not what you think,” Klein looked at Alice with mixed feelings and explained to Esinger, “We are just friends, and she actually paid for this share, but what she paid is not suitable for appearing in regular trading channels…”

Esinger Stanton was slightly stunned, and understood what Klein meant. He didn’t continue to talk about this, but smiled:

“So that’s the case. Then after we sign the agreement, you can get this share.”

“So easy?” Alice asked in confusion.

Signing the agreement was not a complicated process. Isengard Stanton had a prepared agreement template. After getting Klein's confirmation, Isengard immediately ordered his assistant to get the template.

Then, Essinger transcribed two identical agreements and pushed them in front of Alice. Alice pressed Klein's head and browsed the agreement. After confirming that there were no problems, she raised her pen and signed.

After witnessing Alice signing, Klein said:

"I've been out for a long time, I have to go first.

"If you want to notify me of something, you can find her. She has been in Backlund recently...she should be there, right?"

"Not necessarily," Alice spread her hands, "I may have to go to Oravi. I have to look for the bridge hole in the prophecy."

"You should be able to receive the letter, right?" Klein asked.

This is true, Alice nodded and left her address to Isengard Stanton.

…

After hearing Selena mention the magic mirror divination through the corner of the wall outside the ward the day before, Allen had been looking for an opportunity to ask clearly.

This is not an intuitive reminder, he just doesn't want to let go of any suspicious clues. Anything involving fate or divination will attract his attention.

Allen spent the whole night and the whole day absent-minded. He kept looking for an opportunity to ask questions. Unfortunately, he had to finish his work first.

However, Allen did not forget the promise he had received. The girl who appeared in his dream promised to give him a chance not to be disturbed. If so, he wanted to get rid of his wife, or in other words, get rid of Will Asceptin. , it’s actually not difficult.

He is a doctor in the hospital after all.

After only one examination, Allen easily lured his wife away, and then he entered Selena's ward, which was also his wife's ward.

"Doctor Allen?" Selina greeted in surprise, "Aren't you with Ms. Velma? I thought..."

Selena took the initiative to bring up the topic, which relieved Allen of a problem. He revealed his worries during this period without any dignity at all, and talked about his half-truths and lies:

“Vilma, I had a checkup, and I…I was a little worried…I’ve been worried ever since Velma got pregnant.

"You know, Velma should have told you that this is not our first child, but I am still very worried. I always feel that this child seems different from the previous children, and, as you can see, this The child is in very bad condition now..."

Selina nodded with understanding and comforted:

"I understand your concerns, just like when I had a car accident before, my family was also worried about me.

"But it's not an option for you to worry like this..."

Allen sighed heavily and mentioned casually:

"I seem to have heard you and Velma mention some magic mirror divination before, saying that... it can bring peace of mind?"

"Oh, this," Selena said listlessly, "I usually don't feel at ease when something happens, so I like to try divination for peace of mind. I originally thought that if you don't feel at ease, you can do it. Try..."

After a pause, she smiled again:

"However, now that I see you like this, I hope you won't go. After all, if the calculation turns out to be bad, wouldn't it be..."

Allen also sighed. He simply sat on the hospital bed and chatted with Selina as if he needed to divert his attention:

"This sounds like one of your hobbies? I don't know much about this aspect. Can you tell me about it? That magic mirror divination..."

"This..." Selena brought up the relevant topic cooperatively, "To be honest, I don't really want to mention it to you. The main thing is that I'm going to do a divination... The result can't be said to be inaccurate, it's just... Well, it’s pretty random.”

The accuracy is very random... This statement made Alan stunned for a moment. He realized that this probably meant that it was inaccurate. After all, this is how normal people do divination. If they are lucky, they will be accurate. If they are not lucky, they will be accurate. That's not allowed.

Selena's experience sounded so normal that Allen was a little disappointed, but Selena's next words caught his attention:

"However, I once made a very accurate divination...well...that time happened to be a magic mirror divination as well."

Selena's eyes drifted upward, as if recalling the scene at that time. Then, Allen saw her patting her chest with lingering fear and said:

"However, my friend told me at the time that something was not right with me at that time. It was only after she pulled me out that I felt better. Moreover, I really don't remember what happened at that time...

"I just secretly read the honorary name in the teacher's notebook, but I didn't expect it would have such serious consequences...and, later, the teacher also..."

Honorable name...? Allen's thoughts moved, and he asked calmly:

"Honorable name?"

"Oh, by the way," Selena suddenly woke up, "If you don't often come into contact with occultism, you probably haven't heard of this concept... Well, you probably don't know much about the process of magic mirror divination either?"

Allen nodded, glanced at the door with an unadulterated anxious look, and then said to Selina:

"Can you tell me about it?"

Dr. Allen said he wanted to divert his attention through chatting... Selina, who had a good impression of Allen Kress, decided to cooperate with this matter. She smiled and shook her head and said:

"It's not inconvenient. After all, it's not a secret thing. It's just that I happen to be more interested in this aspect, so I just happened to know about it.

"Mirror divination is a divination method that asks mysterious beings to give answers.

"If you want to do magic mirror divination, first of all, you need to choose a suitable date and time according to the gods you believe in. This can be determined by the "Astrology Handbook"... Do you know this book?"

"I've heard of it." Alan nodded.

So Selena continued:

"For example, we all know that Sunday is the symbol of the goddess of night and the embodiment of rest. The moon is dominated by the goddess of night from 2 to 3 in the morning, 9 to 10 in the morning, 4 to 5 in the afternoon, and 11 to midnight. Therefore, fortune-tellers who believe in the goddess of night can perform "magic mirror divination" during these time periods on Sunday."

This is not what Allen wanted to know, but he was not in a hurry. He intuitively felt that what he wanted was right in front of him, so he listened to Selena's story patiently and continued to ask:

"What's next?"

Selena continued:

"Secondly, we wipe the mirror carefully. It must be a silver-plated mirror and place it in the position of the moon in the home..."

When she said this, Selena subconsciously stood up and wanted to find a mirror, but there was no suitable mirror at hand, and her legs were not convenient to move, so she She just looked around and gave up, and continued to introduce:

"After finishing the bath, make sure that all the curtains are closed and the door is locked and closed. Then, light a candle and place it in front of the mirror. Pray devoutly to the gods you believe in. Try to keep the questions simple and don't use complicated decorations... After praying seven times, pick up your mirror and gently drop it on the ground. It must be very light... Remember the broken appearance, which is the revelation given by the gods."

Next, Selina will introduce the main revelations. Allen listened to her story patiently. He wanted to ask about what happened during the abnormal magic mirror divination, such as the honorific name she recited at that time, but Selina reminded him:

"Dr. Allen, Ms. Wilma's examination should be almost completed?"

Alan had to regretfully give up asking further questions. He knew that if he continued to ask, he would expose his abnormality.

Being discovered by Selina was irrelevant. When it came to his wife Wilma, Allen actually couldn't care so much. He was still concerned about Will Auceptin.

——If Will Auceptin finds out what he is looking for, this matter will probably be difficult to resolve peacefully.

Thinking of this, Allen exhaled, stood up absentmindedly and said:

"Yes, it's time to end it..."

"Alas..." Selena sighed sympathetically behind him and shook her head.
