Mystery: Lucky

I hope he doesn't run away secretly... What I said last is true.

After returning home, Alice muttered to herself without any guilt, and then she began to think deeply.

After eliminating the interference of the fat pharmacist, there was only one possibility for the mercury snake to pay attention to her - the "lucky person" whose extraordinary characteristics she swallowed had an unknown connection with the mercury snake.

Although it is possible that she was cursed, after all, it was not "lucky" enough for the other party to fall to death, but with Megose in front and Charlie King behind, Alice was more willing to believe that the other party's death was her own problem.

Of course, it is not impossible that she caused obvious disturbances to the long river of fate when she just woke up and attracted the other party's attention - after all, the goddess noticed it, and it was normal for the mercury snake to find it.

But if this is the reason, then... there are too many high-sequences with destiny abilities, I'm not saying!

If this is the reason, Alice would never believe that she could spend three years safely in Tingen City. She would rather believe that it was the problem caused by the "lucky person".

…

Under the night, there were only a few pedestrians on the street.

The gloomy and gloomy environment was illuminated by gas lamps, and Evelyn Greenland walked on the street in the dim light.

Her heels fell on the street with her brisk steps, making a "tap, tap, tap" sound.

She was walking through streets and alleys to her destination.

…What was that?

Evelyn Greenland's steps suddenly stopped, and she widened her eyes in horror. Reason told her that she should turn around and run, or scream, but her body did not move.

——When people are extremely frightened, they cannot move or make any sound.

Evelyn watched the terrible monster approach her little by little, but she could not do anything.

It was a huge dog, and it bared its teeth at her, revealing sharp white fangs that reflected a cold light.

Each tooth was covered with mottled traces of rust. As the other person approached, the fishy smell from his mouth told Evelyn that those traces were most likely uncleaned flesh and blood.

Evelyn saw her terrified self in the reflection of the other person's eyes. Her body trembled instinctively. She--

"Hiss!" Alice gasped.

She got up from the table and rubbed her forehead, which had just fallen, with her left hand, which she could still feel. She looked at the light pouring in from the window and fell into deep thought.

Just now, she didn't know how she fell asleep sitting at the table, supporting her head with her right hand, until her head accidentally slipped down and hit the table, which woke her up in pain.

Of course, this was a good thing. If it was a little later, Alice suspected that she would lose her right hand.

Rubbing the numb hand with the only remaining hand, Alice began to think about the dream just now.

Prophecy dreams are not unfamiliar to Alice. Even if she gets revelations without any clues, it is not a rare thing for Alice.

But... Evelyn.

Alice, who had just prayed a few days ago not to let Evelyn become a price, fell into deep thought.

She dreamed of this, couldn't it be because of her prayer? Impossible, right?

Alice, who lost her right hand, wanted to knock on the table, but she found that her right hand was still numb.

Alice could only rub her hand and continue thinking while being very unaccustomed.

There are not many things related to time and place in the dream. If you have to say, the moon is probably one. But unfortunately, Alice does not have enough astronomy, so she got stuck at the first step.

This way, it is impossible to confirm the time and place of Evelyn's accident... Alice frowned, she thought for a moment, came to the door of Greenland's house, and knocked gently.

"It's you, little Briar," Mrs. Greenland opened the door, "Are you here to look for Evelyn? She's out today."

"Ah!" Alice showed a regretful expression, "What a coincidence? Did she say when she would be back?"

"She should be sleeping at her aunt's house today." Mrs. Greenland shook her head.

"Is that so... I'll come to see her another day." Alice waved her hand.

After declining Mrs. Greenland's invitation to sit in the house, Alice returned to the room, leaned back in the chair, and tapped the table with her right hand that had regained mobility.

After hearing the news that Evelyn was not at home, Alice had a vague premonition in her heart - the time of the dream was most likely tonight.

But knowing this didn't seem to be of much use.

Backlund was much larger than Tingen City, and Alice was not familiar with it. She still couldn't tell where the location was through the information in the dream.

Going to Mrs. Greenland to ask for Evelyn's exact location could narrow the search area a bit...but there was no reason for her to do that!

Unless she went directly to Mrs. Greenland and told him that I observed the sky at night and calculated that your daughter's life was in danger tonight...

Whether she would be discovered as a Beyonder was another matter. Alice seriously doubted that if she did that, she would be beaten out as a psychopath.

A breeze quietly slid in from the window, lifted Alice's hair, brushed across her cheek, and brought her new inspiration.

——Evelyn had come to her house to play quite a few times, and she might be able to pick up Evelyn's hair at home.

So, this wonderful afternoon ended with Alice searching through boxes and cabinets at home for Evelyn's hair.

"Fortunately, Evelyn has long hair..." Alice crawled out from under the sofa, shook off the dust on her head, and sighed helplessly at the hair in her hand.

After leaving the dream, Alice couldn't help but feel lucky that she had foresight and didn't use the divining rod to find people directly...

After all, how could the demon dog walk in the North District? Well, even if it wasn't walking, it was a bit unreasonable for this thing to appear in the North District.

After the location was basically confirmed, the next problem Alice faced was how to save it.

Compared with other options, directly preventing Evelyn from going out at night is definitely the most effective way. After all, from the situation in the dream, Evelyn just encountered the monster by chance.

But... by chance?

She happened to leave the familiar area, happened to go out at night by coincidence, and happened to run into the monster at the intersection...

Alice took out the coin and tossed it gently.

The coin spun and fell from the sky, and in the flickering light, it stood in Alice's palm.

The divination failed.

But isn't the failure of divination itself an answer?

Yes, this chapter is actually the extra chapter I didn't finish writing yesterday
