Mystery: Lucky One

But he actually has a third option.

Alan did not forget that in that dream, there was a being he had never met before - it was a thicker white snake.

Alice had actually reminded him of the third option when she first forced him to make a choice.

But for Allen, this should be a meaningless option. After all, it sounds like only one of these three can survive.

Only one can survive...?
Alan suddenly realized this. Even though he was suppressing it, he still showed a hint of excitement for the first time in a long time. He asked with an expectant tone:

“I remember that in that dream, there was a third being like you.

"If the fight between you and Will Auceptin causes too much noise, aren't you worried that He will notice it?"

Alice's eyebrows jumped, she frowned and looked at Allen, and suddenly felt that she understood Will Auceptin's thinking.

——At least in terms of not wanting them to fight, Allen and Will have the same goal.

He was reminding me that with Ouroboros hiding behind the scenes, if we fought to the death, the final result would only be that both of us would suffer losses...

Alice sneered, and she suddenly knew what to do, because she had a piece of information that Will Auceptin didn't have - the so-called opportunity to become a god, fate gave it to the three of them!
Not even bothering to make up a new dream for us... Alice muttered to herself, then looked at Alan, who seemed to be wondering what she was laughing at, and squinted her lips to look at him.

She had to tell Ouroboros about this... but she couldn't go by herself, which was strange, but...

"Even if I start giving you potions now, you probably won't be able to resist Will Auceptin..." Alice murmured.

Allen tried to understand Alice's intention. He looked at Alice and asked:
"Is there anything you need from me?"

"No," Alice looked at him with a smile, "I decided to give you a chance to control your own destiny."

Alan was slightly stunned. He didn't quite understand what this sentence meant, but Alice smiled and leaned close to him and asked:
"If I help you get rid of Will Auceptin's prying eyes and interference..."

Alan tensed up all of a sudden.

Noticing his excitement, Alice smiled with satisfaction and tilted her head.

"Go find Ouroboros and tell him that your wife is carrying an angel of destiny in her belly and you need his help."

"But how do I find Ouroboros..." Alan tried to get more information.

He didn't know much about the extraordinary world, but after this period of time, he at least knew the gap between angels and ordinary people. He didn't think he could find such a being.

Alice spread her hands and said with a chuckle:

"That's your business, I just gave you a chance.

"You have to know that, first of all, I don't need you, and secondly, I don't put all my bets on you."

This is a fact, and Alan himself is well aware of it. He fell silent, but Alice, with rare kindness, decided to be a good person:

"Well...but I can give you a hint."

Alan's attention was immediately drawn back to her. Alice shook her head and gave him some information that might be helpful:

“I’m not sure if Will Auceptin has told you, but anyway, angels have honorific names. If you can find the honorific name of Ouroboros and pronounce it, in a sense, you have found Ouroboros.

"Of course, we have to use ancient Hermetic language, Dragon language, Elven language, or other languages ​​that can leverage the power of nature..."

Allen nodded, apparently already knowing all this, so Alice stopped talking and mentioned something about Ouroboros:
“Well, besides that, since you know nothing about Ouroboros and might not be able to recognize him even if you find him, maybe I should introduce him to you.

"He currently works for the True Creator and belongs to the Aurora Society. As for authority... I think you have already felt it."

Alan nodded, and Alice retreated back into the room without hesitation and closed the door.

Alan stood at the door in a daze for a moment. In the end, he didn't dare to reach out and knock on the door again. He turned around silently and walked towards the hospital.

——His wife remains in the hospital.

Although Allen, who had a decent job as a doctor, could be considered middle class, he was not rich enough to book a single room for his wife for a month, so his wife lived in a double room.

——He planned to let his wife stay in the hospital until she gave birth.

However, the hospital where he worked was not a specialized obstetric hospital after all, and there were actually not many delivery rooms. As a doctor in the hospital, Alan successfully used money to get a bed in a double room for his wife, but was unable to get into the delivery room.

——She is not in a hurry to give birth.

In the same ward with his wife was a girl who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. She had long burgundy hair, bright eyes, and a pair of obvious dimples when she smiled.

This girl's name is Selina. Both her parents are believers of the Church of Evernight. It is said that she came to Backlund to take the government employee exam and is currently preparing for the college entrance exam.

Half a month ago, the child accidentally broke his leg and was admitted to the hospital.

Selena's surgery was performed by Allen himself, and she seems to be recovering well so far.

Alan looked out the door of the ward. It was already late at night. Although his wife Wilma was frightened by the nightmare, she fell asleep due to excessive fatigue after arriving at the hospital.

Alan was not sure whether Will Auceptin was responsible for this, but this was barely a good thing. He just observed the ward and left after confirming that the two patients inside were asleep.

……

Although she returned to the room, Alice's attention did not leave Alan. What she said about helping Alan get rid of Will Auceptin's prying eyes and interference was not a joke. She really intended to give Alan a chance to decide his own destiny.

The main reason is that Alice realized that when she said this, her role-playing progress increased.

So Alice immediately decided to try harder. After all, it was just a matter of eliminating interference and it didn't require her to use her brain.

Will Auceptin, in his weak state, was not without the ability to influence the fate of the outside world, but under Alice's almost arrogant attitude, Will tactfully withdrew his attention from Allen.

Alice had no interest in knowing Alan's daily life. After completing what she had promised Alan, Alice lay down without hesitation.

……

"She sounds like a little girl who's interested in treasure hunting," the mouse demigod commented after listening to Hazel's account of Alice's efforts to obtain clues to the treasure. "But it's really troublesome."

She glanced at Hazel and continued in a steady voice, "The people in the 'fate' path are always like this, acting chaotically and illogically. You never know what they will do next, and they call it fate...

"It's really troublesome to be noticed by such people, especially since you have no idea what can impress them...

“Well, since she knows about me, you can invite her over so I can meet her—I think she should come.

"After all, now fate seems to be guiding her to find this treasure."

With this instruction, Hazel found Liana, who was still finalizing the guest list, and made her request.

……

Saturday night, 8 o'clock.

When Alice received the invitation to the dance, she was actually stunned for a moment. After all, it sounded like she shouldn't be invited anyway - unless it was Miss Justice who invited her.

No, there are actually two other people who might invite her...

Alice shook her head, thinking of Viscount Glint who was frightened, and Winfred Gregory who came to her door after being tricked by the same diary.

These two people couldn't keep Alice's attention for too long, and Alice quickly shifted her attention to the ice cream and Klein who might appear at the dance.

I can't seem to get too familiar with Dwayne Dantes...

Alice sighed sadly, appeared at a corner not far from Congressman Macht's house, and walked over slowly.

Congressman Mori Macht and his wife, Ms. Liana, were greeting guests at the door. When Alice stepped in, she noticed that their expressions froze for a moment.

Alice blinked in confusion and took two more steps inside.

"Good evening?" She waved tentatively, her eyes turned around and noticed Hazel in a sky blue dress behind them, "Good evening~"

Alice smiled quickly, took a few quick steps closer to Hazel, and then asked her:
"You wanted to see me, didn't you?"

This obvious attitude of recognition made Councillor Mori Macht and Ms. Liana feel relieved. Ms. Liana smiled warmly and said to Hazel gently:
“Hazel, this is the friend you mentioned, right?
"Take your friend in now."

So Hazel had no choice but to step forward and said to Alice without a smile:
"Come with me."

This attitude was so strange that Ms. Liana vaguely sensed that something was wrong. She wanted to say something, but Hazel seemed not to want to say another word to Alice. She turned around and walked inside, and Alice immediately followed.

She glanced at the people in the banquet hall. There were already quite a few guests inside. Most of the men were wearing various suits and the ladies were wearing long dresses. Alice stopped and looked back at Congressman Macht and his wife.

Congressman Maury Macht wore an olive green Army officer's uniform with an orange sash and several medals on his chest, indicating his military status.

Ms. Liana wore a yellow non-stand-up collar long dress with many ruffles and little delicate lace, which was different from unmarried ladies. However, it also revealed her white neck and half of her shoulders.

Alice looked down at herself again.

She wrapped herself in a phantom hooded white robe, put on a hood, and held a lantern. She was the most common mysterious character in various stories.

She wasn't even wearing shoes.

There was nothing wrong with this outfit, at least for her, but it didn't seem like it should be worn at a banquet.

But at this point, changing clothes here was obviously not a good option. Alice pretended not to notice anything, took two quick steps, and caught up with Hazel.

Unexpectedly, Hazel really led her to the hall on the second floor. He did not find an excuse to say anything to her. He just whispered something in her ear when he passed her back to the door:
"The teacher wants to see you."

This statement successfully deepened Alice's patience, and the teacher's demigod guess was correct, Alice was indeed somewhat interested in talking to her.

There were quite a few guests at the ball. Hazel led her to her seat and left. At this time, many people were looking at Alice's strange outfit curiously.

Alice thought about it and decided to ignore them. She reached out and picked up the wine glass in front of her, lowered her head to sniff, and prepared to drink it all.

"If I were you, I wouldn't drink that glass of wine now." A voice stopped her.

Alice turned her head and looked to the side and back, where the sound came from, and there she saw a person who was barely familiar to her - it was Winfred Grigory, whom she had just remembered not long ago.

Alice's first reaction was to take a look at her attire, because this girl did not give her the impression of being a rule-abiding person, but unfortunately, she was wearing a long black dress and was followed by a personal maid, blending in with the other people here.

Alice left the sight disappointedly, repeated the action just now, drank the wine in the glass, and then turned around and asked:

"Why is this?"

Winfred didn't seem surprised by her behavior, and he explained it naturally: "This is because..."

Before she finished her words, Congressman Mori Macht and Ms. Liana walked in with several guests behind them.

At the fence facing the gate, Senator Macht raised his glass of red wine and said to the guests in the second-floor hall:
"Thank you all for participating in this dance. First of all, let us praise the gods, which are the source of all good things."

He and Lady Liana tapped their chests four times and praised the goddess in a low voice. The guests also praised the gods they believed in in their own ways.

Alice glanced hesitantly at the wine glass in Congressman Macht's hand and had a bad feeling.

Senator Macht still held up his cup and did not put it down. He continued with a smile:

“Second, praise the Kingdom, which is the cornerstone of stability.”

"Praise the Kingdom." The guests around said in unison.

Then, Senator Macht looked around and asked humorously:

“Finally, what should we praise?”

Alice lowered her head in silence, and while everyone's attention was on Congressman Macht, she used "Restart" to throw back the wine she had just drunk.

Praise for the reboot… she murmured silently.

"Praise the improvement in Backlund's air." Klein laughed loudly. (End of this chapter)
