Mystery: Lucky

"I like the ice cream here the most," Evelyn was happily introducing her life to Alice. "It's a pity that my mother always doesn't like me eating too much - hey, Aunt Jenny, sprinkle more nuts on me!"

"Okay, little Evelyn," Aunt Jenny seemed to be very familiar with Evelyn. She agreed with a smile, and the movements of her hands did not stop at all, but she started to greet her, "This is your new friend. ?”

"Her name is Brielle, and she just moved next door to our house." Evelyn introduced.

"So that's it..." Aunt Jenny nodded, handed the finished ice cream to Alice and Evelin, and reminded, "Here, your ice cream, go back quickly after eating it, you two little Girl, don’t stay out too late, Backlund is not in peace lately.”

"Thank you Aunt Jenny," Evelin took the ice cream, "We have been shopping for a while and will go back soon!"

"Thank you," Alice also took it and thanked her, and then asked curiously, "What happened to Backlund recently?"

"Isn't there a murderer who specializes in killing women and commits crimes everywhere, but he hasn't been caught yet?" Aunt Jenny sighed sadly, "Those police... huh!"

murderer? Alice was startled and quickly recalled what Aunt Jenny was referring to.

Although the police in Loen were far from the police in her memory, and were of little use in most cases, that case had clear traces of devil worship, and Alice suspected that it had long been handed over to the Beyonders.

But Extraordinary people...if they have the means to channel spirits and divination, why haven't they caught the murderer until now?

No, that's not right... This should be a requirement for some kind of ritual. If the demon didn't have the means to prevent channeling and divination, he wouldn't have the courage to start the ritual in Backlund.

I don’t know what the purpose of this ceremony is…

Alice looked at Evelin who was dragging her away, and prayed quietly in her heart:

In the end, everyone in Tingen City did not become part of the price. I hope that Backlund’s friends, as well as the friends I may meet in the future, will not become part of the price...

I don’t want to see important people die in front of me anymore. If there is a price, I hope I will pay it myself...

…

Alice meets Klein at night.

When she was outside, she thought that Klein would look for her.

When she just finished reading the diary, she was overwhelmed by the shocking facts and even had doubts about whether she was alone. Evelin knocking on the door in time to find her was like a life-saving straw. She had no time to think about it. So I caught him.

But as she gradually regained her composure, she realized that Klein was probably, maybe, waiting for her...

After all, there was no way that Klein could not have thought of the possibility that the other party would rely on her to advance to Sequence 0, even if they had no way or a clue.

"Alice," Klein looked at Alice hesitantly, "Are you okay? I originally wanted to find you after I regained my spirituality, but you went out..."

"...I know," Alice sighed. She knew that Klein must have tried to find her. They were in similar situations and were natural allies in a sense. "I, I thought of something at the time, and I was very worried. chaos."

"..." Klein looked at Alice and was silent for a moment, then suddenly showed an exaggerated smile and said, "At least you already know your ending. You can choose a way to die that you like, right?"

"?" Alice looked at Klein with a question mark on her face. She thought of Miss Justice, who had become completely different after communicating with "The World", and suddenly realized that she might have led Klein a little bit wrong.

…hell.

Alice cursed in her mind, then looked at Klein expressionlessly and said, "I suddenly felt that chatting on the gray fog was not a good idea."

"Why?" Klein's expression was a little confused.

"Because I can't hit you." Alice said coldly, "Besides, you don't really think you can die if I commit suicide, do you?"

Klein, who just crawled out of the grave not long ago, argued: "Maybe just commit suicide a few more times? You know, I can clearly feel that the circumstances of my two resurrections are different, and the second time will be more difficult... "

"Really?" Alice glanced at Klein, "That's really a pity. There is no difference when I wake up twice. I even think the second time will be smoother."

Klein shut his mouth.

So Alice leaned back in her chair and expressed her guess: "I may be the potion material for his promotion to sequence 0."

Sequence 0 potion materials... But, what are the Sequence 0 potion materials? Klein couldn't help but cast worried eyes on Alice.

"Desecrating the slate... or desecrating the playing cards," Alice lowered her eyelashes and said softly, "If you can't find the 'destiny' path, look at other paths first. Maybe there are similarities, for example..."

For example, powerful mythical creatures, or the gods themselves.

Alice did not continue talking. After all, there were only a few possibilities. She could think of it, and so could Klein.

"You..." Klein looked at Alice, but didn't know what to say - because the Alice in front of him was a more lively person, and he really couldn't imagine that possibility.

After Alice stared at Klein who was hesitant to speak for a few seconds, she suddenly raised a smile and said: "Tell me, is there a kind of mythical creature... They have no fixed body and are reincarnated in human consciousness over and over again. , they will think that they do not belong to the current era, but are travelers from another world..."

Before Alice could finish her idea, Klein decisively cut off her connection with the gray mist.

Alice was stunned for a moment when she returned to the real world. Thinking of Klein's last expression, she suddenly felt that her mood was much better.

…

Even though he knew that Alice was just talking nonsense, after cutting off contact, Klein couldn't help but meditate alone in the gray fog.

——What if there really is such a mythical creature?

Born in the consciousness of others, one day completely replaces the consciousness of the host, lives in place of the host, and considers himself a time traveler...

No, that's not right. If that's the case, how do you explain the space above the gray fog?

Oh, maybe he will be resurrected here, and then be born from here every time... This is equivalent to a place like a womb or an ovary. Alice may come from a similar place. They are two of some mythical creatures. subspecies?

No, calm down, stop thinking about it, stop thinking about it, can’t think about it anymore...

In order to control that terrifying thought, Klein descended from the gray mist and then concentrated on meditation.

I think I should at least write the fanfic until Xiaoke sees himself with his own eyes, otherwise I will write such explosive things in vain (open the note) (silence)

There is one more update to write after dinner (lying down)
