Mystery: Lucky One

This was the truth, and it was also something Cattleya was reluctant to mention. Alice saw that Cattleya's fists clenched suddenly.

The experience of the "Admiral of the Stars" was no secret on the sea. "The Hanged Man" Alger had once told relevant stories when he introduced the four kings and seven generals on the sea.

The "Admiral of the Stars" once followed the mysterious queen, but later angered the "mysterious queen" because he joined the "Moss Ascetic Order", and the two sides almost broke up.

Alice glanced at Cattleya's clenched fist thoughtfully. As if to cover up, Cattleya relaxed her posture and said as if nothing had happened:

"You're right.

“This sea is so vast that no one knows where it ends.

"Do you know what's the most dangerous thing here?"

Alice looked at Klein, and Klein seemed to have a telepathic connection with her. Then, Alice saw Klein turn to Cattleya and say:

"destiny."

...Is he talking about me?

Alice looked at Klein suspiciously, then frowned and asked Cattleya for confirmation:
"Is he scolding me?"

This, it seems that this is not entirely wrong... Cattleya turned her eyes away from Alice without leaving a trace, and answered calmly:

"Destiny is very dangerous for anyone, anywhere."

He was just scolding me!
Alice opened her eyes wide and gave Cattleya sincere praise:

"You are good at talking.

"Unlike some people... why do they have a mouth?"

Alice glared at Klein fiercely.

Klein opened his mouth and ignored her gaze. He asked Cattleya:
"So what's the most dangerous thing here?"

Cattleya was silent for a moment and replied:

“There are many floating ruins here, with all kinds of mutated monsters, including many out-of-control demigods and ancient evil creatures.

“This is not the most dangerous thing. If there were only these, this ocean would become the hunting ground of the seven major churches and a treasure trove for them to harvest high-sequence materials or items.

"Of course, there are many monsters here, many out-of-control evil things, which are not necessarily real. They can really kill us, but nothing will be left after being killed."

"It sounds like a copy that was abandoned because it exceeded the strength limit..." Alice complained quietly.

The description sounds a bit like "Dragon of Imagination"... huh???

Klein, who was thinking seriously about the problem, couldn't help but glance at Alice, as she led him astray.

That shouldn't exist... It should be a copy that was abandoned after the game was launched due to criticism, so the code is still there... Even the connection interface hasn't been deleted.

Klein sighed, "If the program works, don't tamper with it."

Cattleya didn't understand what Alice said, nor did she know what Klein was thinking. She habitually ignored the terms Alice didn't understand and continued:

“Here, you can never guess what danger you will encounter next. Maybe if you get close to a relic, you will melt and become a candle-like monster. Maybe if you stray from the explored route, you will turn into stone in the storm and be smashed to pieces.

"For mid- and low-sequence Beyonders, this is the biggest danger." Klein tilted his head slightly, glanced at Alice worriedly, and asked sharply:
"What about demigods?"

Cattleya also looked at Alice and whispered:
“These seas are filled with sounds that should not be heard.

"The higher the sequence, the easier it is to hear. Therefore, most of the demigods who dared to explore this place had problems. They either went crazy or lost control and were lost here forever."

Meeting Cattleya's gaze, Alice shook her head and said:

“Fate has determined my fate.

"Until the time comes for something to happen to me... nothing will happen to me."

And, to me, something else might be more dangerous...

Alice looked at the direction where the attraction came from with some uneasiness. She could feel that she was getting closer and closer to the source of the attraction.

So, what happens when something goes wrong...?
No one was so tactless as to ask the question at this point, and of course, they were too late to ask.

As they were talking, they were getting closer and closer to the ruins, and suddenly, a panting sound rang in everyone's ears.

Huge and clear gasps came in slowly and regularly. The pirates either turned their heads to the side or picked up their weapons, all showing a posture of high alert.

Alice closed her eyes, and a golden ocean appeared in front of her. A corpse lay quietly on the sea among the ruins, floating up and down with the sound of gasping.

"There's a body over there!" She opened her eyes.

"There's a body over there!" The figure of Heath Doyle, the "Bloodless Man", emerged from the shadows. He covered his head and squatted on the ground in pain.

Cattleya subconsciously took off her heavy glasses and stared at the ruins, then put them back on. Without thinking, she turned around and shouted to the pirates in the restaurant:
"quick!

"Speed ​​up and go around there, don't get close!"

Her voice was somewhat magnetic and it woke everyone up immediately. The sailors picked up their weapons and ran out of the restaurant and rushed to their posts.

Under the command of the navigator Ottolov and the boatswain Nina, they adjusted the sails and bypassed the ruins from a distance.

It was not until the peak of the stone pillars disappeared below the horizon that Heath Doyle the Bloodless put down his hands, his expression no longer so painful.

Alice frowned and looked at the "Rose Bishop", the second mate of the "Future".

Judging from the scene just now, Heath Doyle's ability from the "Listener" seems to bring him great danger even if he does not actively use it.

He will become the biggest hidden danger of this voyage, and correspondingly, he will be able to obtain more information - the more he knows, the faster he will die.

Klein didn't want to cause any trouble... Alice glanced at Heath Doyle and tried to determine how dangerous he was.

The future scene did include a disgusting scene of Heath Doyle collapsing into a pool of flesh and blood, but what Alice saw in the end was the bright starlight surrounding him.

The starlight was very similar to the starlight that Cattleya had shown several times, dreamy and beautiful, with a beauty like a conversation.

Alice suddenly thought of her room and Bernadette, who always appeared with the pea vine.

Their abilities are so fairy-tale-like...Are all "secret peepers" like this?
——Considering that Cattleya is only at Sequence 5, Alice believes that the starlight is pointing to Bernadette.

Just as Alice was about to ask Cattleya about her ability as a "secret peeper", she heard Klein's rude question:
“Can you restore the restaurant to its original state?
"I haven't had breakfast yet." (End of this chapter)
