Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 160 Chapter 34 Dumplings
"?" Klein felt that he still thought too highly of Alice, "You... forget it, this is indeed a serious issue for you."

Alice blinked blankly and glanced at Klein in confusion: "What are you talking about?"

"No, it's nothing." Klein quickly denied his previous guess.

Alice glanced at him doubtfully and suddenly asked: "In this case, can you change back to your original self?"

"I haven't tried it yet..." Klein was stunned for a moment and remembered this matter.

Unlike before, after his spirituality stabilized, although the "faceless man"'s potion had not yet shown signs of digestion, he felt a faint sense of compatibility...

Wait a moment.

Klein suddenly remembered the question he had ignored. He looked at Alice, frowned and asked, "Have you finished digesting the 'Disaster Priest'?"

"..." The topic she had been deliberately avoiding was brought up. Alice lowered her eyes and asked, "What do you think is the 'Disaster Priest'?"

"Probably..." Klein organized his words, "bringing disaster? Well, maybe we need to preach..."

"If Leonard is the 'Faceless Man', he can realize his wish..."

Alice was silent for a moment and replied: "It should be called a circus now."

"Wear a dress," Alice replied sincerely.

Klein's mouth twitched. For the sake of his own mental health, he sent Alice out of the gray mist after confirming that she had nothing to say.

He was a young man with dark brown eyes and short black hair. His facial features were unremarkable and overall he was quite gentle. He had heavy bags under his eyes and a slightly fat chin.

This is exactly what Sherlock Moriarty looks like.

Klein hesitated to speak and looked at Alice.

When I opened my eyes again, there was another person's image in the mirror.

Before Klein could decide his reaction, Alice said thoughtfully:

Countless thoughts emerged and dispersed in Klein's heart. Finally, he sighed, slowly closed his eyes, and his facial features gradually changed.

"?" Even though he knew that Alice was probably talking nonsense, and even though the name of his old friend aroused a moment of sadness, Klein could not help but raise his curiosity, "What wish?"

In the mirror, he has black hair and brown eyes, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and a beard growing around his mouth, diluting the original bookishness of his face.

"Essentially, Sherlock Moriarty is just Crane in disguise, and I've actually been playing Crane Moriarty.

Klein nodded thoughtfully:

……

This is none other than Zhou Mingrui from Earth.

Alice lowered her head and said softly: "I seem to have done this countless times."

"Although I have received some memory fragments and merged with some of my original emotions, I am still Zhou Mingrui from Earth..."

Klein subconsciously imagined Leonard wearing a skirt in his mind, then shuddered in horror, shook his head, looked at Alice and asked:
"Is his desire to wear a skirt the same situation as my Sequence 4 calling the circus ringmaster?"

Klein came to the mirror and looked at himself in the mirror.

But Alice's mood recovered faster than Klein expected - or a little too quickly.

No more haircuts or shaving in the future... Klein looked at it with emotion for a while, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.

...Alice must have loved this joke.

Klein expressionlessly stretched out his hand to rub his face. When he put his hand down, he had transformed back into Sherlock Moriarty.

……

Alice had just put down her paintbrush and was thinking about what to have for dinner when there was a knock on the door. She jumped up from the chair, ran over and opened the door, and it was Evelin who stood outside the door.

"Hi, long time no see, Brielle~" Evelin smiled and waved.

It's true that they haven't seen each other for several days, but they send each other small notes through the mailbox almost every day, so they are not unfamiliar.

Alice laughed, waved to Evelin to come in, and while turning aside, asked: "Why are you here?"

"I still won't go in," Evelin shook her head, "Actually, I'm here to send a message."

"Send a message?" Alice looked at her doubtfully.

"Mom asked me to ask if you would like to come to our house to celebrate the New Year with me," Evelin winked at Alice, "After all, you are too lonely by yourself."

Alice was slightly startled and suddenly realized that Roen's New Year was coming soon.

Thinking of the relatives in that memory who kicked her off the table because of her stupidity and couldn't see their faces, Alice suddenly felt a little sad.

"Are you okay?" Evelin's cautious voice sounded, "Did I tell the truth about your sadness?"

Alice looked at Evelin, chuckled and said:

"No, it's all over.

"Hmm... do you want to know about the food from my hometown?"

Evelin was slightly startled.

She knew that Brielle Rose, also known as Alice, was not a local, but Alice seemed to have a hard time caring about her past life and rarely mentioned her hometown.

This was the first time she heard Alice mention her hometown.

Afraid of Alice misunderstanding, Evelin stopped thinking any more, nodded, and asked curiously:

"What kind of food is it? This is the first time I've heard you talk about things from my hometown."

Alice chuckled and asked, "Have you heard of 'dumplings'?"

"'jiaozi'? What is that?" Evelin asked doubtfully.

"'Dumplings', this is how they are made..." Alice smiled and introduced the making of dumplings to Evelin.

Even if she doesn't know how to cook, Alice knows the process of making this essential New Year's food.

The first step is to make the dumpling filling.

The second step is to make dumpling wrappers.

The third step is to wrap the dumpling filling with dumpling wrappers.

What? You asked her how to make dumpling wrappers and dumpling fillings? Well...then we can only rely on Mrs. Greenland's cooking skills.

However, the most important thing for New Year’s dumplings is of course...

"In my hometown, there is one most important difference between the 'dumplings' during the New Year and the 'dumplings' at ordinary times." Alice added while looking at Evelin who seemed to understand.

"What is it?" Evelin blinked.

Alice smiled and said:

“We wrap coins in dumplings, so whoever eats dumplings with coins will become particularly lucky in the new year.

"Generally speaking, children will eat dumplings with coins when they are young, and they will be happy for a long time. When they grow up, they will find...

"The adults actually marked the dumplings with coins when they were making them, specifically for children..."
