Mystery: Lucky

The first rAuxerre

The next morning, Alice got the newspaper from the mailbox.

The front page of the newspaper was printed with the news of the 12th victim as expected. Alice looked at the news, recalled the scene of the demon dog roaring and retreating, and turned the page silently.

Alice flipped through all the newspapers and was sure that the theft of the museum was only mentioned in an inconspicuous corner of the newspaper, and it was not even stated what items were stolen.

Realizing that the Steam Church did not seem to intend to spread this matter widely, Alice put away the newspaper and went to the church after breakfast to complete her daily tasks.

The fact that Evelyn appeared from the inside of the church was not enough to cause Alice's surprise. She just quietly turned her eyes away, hiding in the crowd, pretending that she did not notice it.

But Alice still frowned quietly.

If the initial encounter with Evelyn was just a coincidence as a neighbor and a girl of the same age, after the other party became the bait deliberately released by the night watchman, Alice realized that their fate seemed to be involved a little too deeply.

This is not a good thing... Alice sighed in her heart and sighed silently.

Just as the next sequence of "Lucky One" is "Disaster Priest", for Alice who is too deeply involved in "fate", the unpredictable fate may not pose a threat to her, but it is definitely not a good thing for the people around her.

—— Just look at Shen Yinghuan.

Alice is relieved about Klein, because Klein obviously has problems, and it is not certain who has bigger problems between the two of them...

But in the final analysis, Evelyn should have been just an ordinary girl. If it weren't for Alice, she would never know the existence of the extraordinary world in her life, and now... To be honest, Alice is very worried now. If she doesn't pay attention to Evelyn one day, she might become a night watcher.

After finishing the prayer, Alice returned home as if nothing had happened and continued to draw her comics.

"The demon king who had been sleeping for a thousand years opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was the dagger in the hands of his former student... Well, let's stop here!" Alice put away her pen with satisfaction.

The story of this comic is a combination of Shen Yinghuan's memory and Tingen City's experience. So far, the foreshadowing part has been completely completed. Next is the slowly revealed world background and story climax.

After drawing a plot, Alice, who wanted to relax, suddenly saw overlapping gray fog spreading in front of her eyes.

Ah... It's Klein...

Alice blinked blankly and heard Klein's voice: "Come on, I met that unlucky guy in the club!"

After blinking twice blankly, Alice remembered someone she had forgotten in the corner-Dr. Allen, who was said to have strange luck.

Outside the Krag Club, Alice successfully squatted down to Dr. Allen, who was leaning on a cane.

It was indeed affected... but it seemed to be just an accident? Alice looked at Dr. Allen thoughtfully, and Alice, who had already known from Klein that Dr. Allen would go to the church, shook her head and left.

...

"Did he say when he started to have bad luck? The reason or something?" Alice asked Klein above the gray fog.

"There is one thing that may be related," Klein said thoughtfully, "He had a patient before, a little boy about ten years old..."

"Wait a minute," Alice interrupted Klein, "A little boy about ten years old? What does he look like?"

"I didn't ask..." Klein answered hesitantly, "Is there any problem with this?"

"...When I saw the mercury snake, he looked like a little boy about ten years old." Alice replied, pinching her eyebrows.

"You suspect he met..." Klein frowned slowly.

"The bad luck on him should be just an accident." Alice shook her head.

"That's easy to understand," Klein suddenly realized, "The child needed to have his left leg amputated because of some accident..."

"..."Thinking of the scene that day when the other party was almost hit by a carriage, Alice's mouth twitched.

Klein continued:

"The day before the child's operation, Dr. Allen went to the ward to find him and found that he was quite uneasy and was playing Tarot cards. These were the items he brought with him when he was admitted to the hospital, and he did not even allow his family to take them away.

"In order to make him relax, Dr. Allen played Tarot divination with him.

"At that time, Dr. Allen turned over a card, which was the reversed "Wheel of Fortune".

"The child looked at Dr. Allen and said with a pure and innocent smile:

"Doctor, your luck will get worse."

"Doctor, your luck will get worse..." Alice repeated the other's words, "Sister, you look scared?"

Klein looked at Alice and heard her say two sentences in a childlike tone. He hesitated and said: "After you repeated it like this, I almost suspected that it was you that Allen met..."

Ah this... innocent Alice fell into deep thought.

After a moment of silence, Alice continued to ask: "What happened next?"

"The child's operation went smoothly and he was successfully discharged from the hospital... Oh, by the way, the child's name is Will Auceptin." Klein replied.

"Will Auceptin..." Alice repeated the other person's name, suddenly showing an innocent smile, looking at Klein's suddenly stiff expression and said, "Klein, go meet the mercury snake."

"Ah?" Klein showed a blank expression.

"Let Him see what is in your destiny. Hmm... Angels will never lose control because of this. Aren't you curious?" Alice blinked.

Klein thought of a monster in Tingen City who almost went blind. When Alice saw him for the first time, she was as if she had seen a ghost. He was indeed curious.

"You don't need to do anything deliberately. If you are going to meet, fate will always arrange for you to meet," Alice said while knocking on the table. "Just don't resist!"

"Why does it always sound strange..." Klein complained in a low voice, "But, He is going to kill you, right? What if He finds out that we know each other?"

"Then... it depends on fate." Alice shrugged.

"... You weren't like this before." Klein looked at Alice who pushed everything to fate and reminded her.

"I know," Alice sighed, "but to have the strength to struggle against fate, I must be at least a demigod, right? Well... maybe even a demigod is not enough, after all, the gap between an angel and a saint is not ordinary..."

Why so late? Because I am modifying the comics (eyes shift)

Should I change my name... The original name is gradually becoming inappropriate, but I can't think of a new one for the time being (squirm)
