Mystery: Lucky

Queens, in the luxurious villa of Earl Hall's family.

"Why did you suddenly come to visit so early?" Audrey looked at the sky outside, and then looked at Viscount Gray Lint in front of her.

Gray Linte looked around and only found a big golden retriever dog squatting next to him, so he lowered his voice and said: "I originally planned to go to the racecourse, but I met Cons on the way, and he told me something very interesting. It’s really interesting. I thought I’d be passing by here, so I came over to share it with you.”

"What's going on?" Audrey asked with interest.

Gray Linte replied without paying attention to the words: "You should have heard of the Aurora Society, right? It is the Aurora Society that assassinated Ambassador Intis. They were caught and several important members died. A very big The plot failed."

Audrey's eyes lit up and she asked reservedly: "What's the plot?"

"I don't know. Cons refused to tell me. He only told me that the person responsible for this plot was a wanted fraudster named Lanervus." Gray Linte spread his right palm.

Audrey nodded invisibly and asked without hiding her curiosity: "Has he been caught?"

"He died, but not in the hands of our people." Graylint paused and said, "This is what I said is very interesting. When his body was found, it was covered with many Tarot cards. In the center are the 'Wheel of Fortune' and 'The Fool' cards, just imagine that scene..."

Tarot cards? "Wheel of Fortune" and "The Fool" cards? Audrey was stunned at first, and then "realized":

This is what our Tarot Club members do!

Is this... what Mr. Fool ordered Miss Destiny to do?

Sure enough, I guessed right, there are other connections between Miss Destiny and Mr. Fool!

She, she may be Mr. Fool's favored one... But will the favored one really treat gods like Miss Destiny?

…

After leaving the responsibility of researching the role of the badge to Klein, Alice went home contentedly.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the new week's Tarot session also began.

Audrey looked directly up and said briskly: "Good afternoon, Mr. Fool. The 'simple' task you entrusted has been completed."

When Miss Justice deliberately emphasized the word "simple" and turned her probing gaze to herself, Alice knew that the ritual-like scene had been known to the other party.

I wonder what Miss Justice would think of?

Alice greeted Audrey's observation happily and winked at Audrey.

Before Audrey could think about Alice's intention, Klein's plain voice sounded: "I already know."

After saying this, he sighed leisurely: "This era, this Backlund, this East District, the dock area and the factory area are really a breeding ground for the evil god to come."

What? Alger, who thought he had listened to the whole thing, was stunned for a moment and suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. Why would a simple task involve the hotbed where the evil god descends?

Alice, who had never thought about it in this direction, was slightly startled.

At this time, the gloomy and restrained "World" chuckled and said:

"Yes, whenever I see and hear about child laborers who die in large numbers in their teens, most workers who rarely survive past the age of thirty due to overwork and harsh conditions barely survive the previous trials but are unemployed due to old age and lack of For the elderly people who can only wander on the streets and die of hunger and cold, I have no doubt about the existence of evil gods. They are on the ground, in the East End, dock area and factory area.

"Oh, there are even survey reports that it is difficult for workers in some factories to survive more than five years.

"And in Backlund's East District, there is a saying that the residents living there must be foreigners of my grandfather's generation, without exception.

“The real meaning of this sentence is that people there will not have a third generation and cannot have grandchildren.

"Poverty and hunger make their children very thin and difficult to adapt to hard work. They will quickly wither in Backlund, let alone get married and have the next generation."

The words "The World" not only caused Audrey to be shocked and confused, but also made Alice truly realize what kind of era she was in.

"Huanhuan" lives in a peaceful and stable modern society, far away from famine and war. To her, these things only exist in textbooks and news.

Alice, who has been held captive by the Nighthawks for three years, also lacks understanding of the lives of the lower class in this era.

Alice murmured as if she was talking to herself: "It turns out that in this era, this is how the people at the bottom live..."

Audrey, who was shocked and confused by this shocking fact, didn't pay attention, but Alger immediately noticed Alice's strange word choice.

……this era?

Thinking of Mr. Fool, who was suspected of being the resurrected ancient god, Alger suddenly had a suspicion about Alice's origins.

Maybe she also comes from some distant era? Maybe she and Mr. Fool come from the same era? Maybe, she, no, maybe she was once him, and she and Mr. Fool were old friends...

——It must be said that this may be the closest Mr. "The Hanged Man" has ever come to the truth.

"Thank you, Mr. Fool, thank you for saving Backlund. Your sigh also made me understand the root of the problem. Thank you, Mr. World, you let me know a lot of things I didn't know before." Audrey restrained her emotions and sincerely thanked the two gentlemen sitting at the top and bottom of the ancient long table.

Alger had to start thinking again about how big a problem this "simple" task had caused.

As for Derrick... Derrick was trying to understand more.

When Mr. Fool's gaze came over, Alger immediately understood what he meant and quickly handed in the last page of Russell's diary.

After reading the diary, Mr. Fool leaned back and smiled slightly, saying, "You can communicate freely now."

Who would have thought that Mr. Fool was only Sequence 8 when seeing this... Alice muttered secretly, and then looked at Alger impatiently: "Mr. 'Hanged Man', you promised me something, didn't you suddenly change your mind?"

"We can now agree on the code for that time."

"Code..." Alice glanced at Klein, her eyes rolled, and she raised her hand, "Mr. Fool, I request a private conversation."

What is she going to do again... After blocking everyone else, Klein nodded at Alice, indicating that it was now a private conversation.

So, Alice looked at Alger mysteriously: "Mr. 'Hanged Man', you know the code where I say the previous sentence and you say the next sentence, right?"

"Such a code is easy to be seen through." Alger emphasized.

"No," Alice said firmly, "except for people of our generation, no one can answer this code."

When everyone else became serious

Alice: (sitting well) (shaking her feet under the table) (pretending to take notes and draw on paper) (secretly kicking the stool leg) (stamping the stool leg with different strengths to study the relationship between the elasticity and thickness of the sole)

A version of you in class (neither)

This book will be on the shelves tomorrow... I believe you won't let me crash the first order, right? No way?
