Mystery: Lucky One

Alice and Amon looked at Hazel together.

At this moment, Hazel clearly realized that she seemed to be the redundant one in this negotiation. She was afraid and confused, but unexpectedly she still stood there.

Will Auceptin didn't seem to want to respond. After staring at Hazel for two seconds, Alice uttered something completely inappropriate:
"How about...you sit down first?"

These words were like a switch. Hazel's legs went limp and she fell to the ground. Amon sneered and turned to Alice and said:
"You're quite kind."

Alice blinked.

This was her usual move when she was pretending to be stupid. Amon glanced at her with a smile, then stood up, took a few steps forward, then bent down and stretched out a hand to Hazel.

"Do you need help?" He asked.

Hazel collapsed on the ground, her body shaking like a sieve, and a voice that did not belong to Hazel sounded:
"Do not--!"

The voice was a little weak, but it could be heard that he was trying his best. Amon laughed, bent down and supported Hazel.

Hazel had no power to resist. Alice didn't say anything. Her eyes stayed on Amon for a moment, then she slid out the door, her spirit rising, and she looked down at the entire manor.

The servants...are disappearing...

She withdrew her gaze and looked back at Amon, thought for a moment, and tentatively touched Amon's fate.

Amon had successfully helped Hazel up and pressed her down on the sofa. Then, he turned his head naturally, hooked his lower lip at Alice, and then looked at Hazel who had not stopped trembling, and reminded her with a smile:

"Aren't you going to say thank you?"

Alice looked at Hazel. Will Auceptin, who had already spoken, was no longer pretending to be dead. He stretched out his hand to control Hazel's fate. Alice slapped him back without thinking.

"Thank you, thank you." Hazel didn't dare to resist and responded tremblingly.

Will is so easy to bully at this moment... Alice sighed in her heart and looked at Amon and Hazel thoughtfully.

She knew what Amon was doing, but she was not Amon himself, and she didn't even know Amon's specific abilities - all she knew was stealing and cheating.

Alice couldn't understand Amon's operation. She frowned and hesitated for two seconds. Then she tried to do two things at the same time, watching Hazel's fate while tentatively changing Amon's fate.

Make Him lucky enough...? And make Will unlucky enough... Actually, it's a bit difficult, but it's easy to make Will unable to affect Hazel...

Will Auceptin did not just stand there and watch. He actually tried to stop it, but his own condition was very poor and he could not use his full strength. He was obviously at a disadvantage.

This was not unexpected. What actually made Alice feel strange was Amon - Amon seemed to trust her a little too much. It was difficult to control the fate of a unique person, especially a unique person with relevant authority, but what if the other party did not try to stop her at all?

Even welcome... It's almost like I've brought good luck to myself... Although I don't think I've ever done that.

I think should not be……

Alice wasn't actually sure about this, she just knew that most of the time she was bringing bad luck to others rather than good luck to herself.

As she argued with Will Auceptin, Amon's aura rose steadily. By the time Will Auceptin stopped the fight, the Amon clone in front of him had already climbed to the level of Sequence 2.

Alice didn't know why Will Auceptin stopped suddenly. She was just stunned for a moment, and then followed her promise and tried to make Amon lucky enough.

Then, she discovered that Amon was pregnant.

The faint breath of life lingering in Hazel's lower abdomen disappeared in an instant. Alice saw that thing change position in Amon's body and finally disappeared.

...?
Alice looked at Amon.

At this moment, an illusory sound of shattering sounded in Alice's ears, and she felt as if something had merged into her spirit. With her experience, she understood that this was a sign that the potion was being digested.

——Her "Doom Wizard" potion was finally digested.

Alice's thoughts suddenly became clear. She remembered that Will Auceptin tried to refuse Amon's offer to help Hazel up, and tried to stop Hazel from thanking him. Suddenly, she had a guess in her heart.

——Will Auceptin, this is exactly the “thank you gift”.

Alice realized that this was probably related to Amon's authority. Considering the name of "bug" and observing the low-sequence capabilities, Alice guessed that this was probably some kind of concept substitution.

Or is this a more advanced form of stealing and cheating?

But why did Will Auceptin give up resistance in the end... Did he talk about something with Amon?
In her sight, Amon smiled and said to her affectionately:
“Little Alice.

"I know who my past lover was."

Leonard!
Alice's pupils suddenly contracted. She almost instantly thought of the possibility that Will Auceptin would use Leonard as a bargaining chip. In her astonishment, Leonard's name and appearance flashed through her mind. Then, Amon showed a wicked smile:

"oops.

"So, his name is Leonard?"

Alice was stunned for two seconds before she realized that Leonard was not Will Auceptin's bargaining chip. This was what Amon had just stolen from her mind. And the reason why Amon was able to steal it...

"...Liar!" She glared at Amon angrily.

"I thought you knew it a long time ago," Amon looked at her in amazement, "Do you actually trust me so much?"

——It was the luck she had just given to Amon.

Alice pursed her lips and looked at Amon. She knew very well that Amon was actually trying to provoke her - there was some truth in Song Shu's almost fabricated words, for example, the character of this time angel was as bad as she described.

She stood up amid Amon's smiling face, without even glancing at him, and after observing the entire manor, she took away the only living person, Hazel.

Watching her figure disappear on the spot, Amon put away the evil smile on his face, only slightly raised the corners of his lips, and said to himself as he walked:

"He has the aura of the mist of history...He once died and was resurrected...His fate points to the Lord of Mysteries...He has a good relationship with her...

"Sherlock Moriarty... What sequence is he in now?"

After the sound stopped, a few seconds passed before His voice sounded again:

"I left Backlund in January. I was Sequence 6 at that time... What happened next?"

After a pause of a few seconds, Amon's voice sounded again:

"You don't know? That's a shame... Come to think of it, if you tell me everything, aren't you worried that I'll lie to you like I lied to her?"

……

Alice had been to Hazel's room, so she would not have trouble finding it, but when she remembered that Hazel had appeared in a carriage, after hesitating for two seconds, Alice chose to take her home.

She knew that Amon had never parasitized Hazel, and she could not hide it from her. As for the reason, Alice did not care. Today's events seemed to have caused a great deal of stimulation to Hazel. Alice hesitated for two seconds, and then remembered that Klein planned to go to the basement of the church to steal things. Audrey came to her mind after a long time:

"Ms. Justice, are you there?

"I have someone here who needs your psychological treatment!"

……

Inside the Hall family's castle.

Audrey was sitting at her desk, admiring the magical item she had just obtained.

It takes the form of a pair of long black tulle gloves that reach the elbows, as if they came from the royal family, and has a noble and elegant temperament.

This is due to the non-linear properties of the "Chaos Mentor" sold by German Sparrow in the "World", and it took a certain amount of time for the "Craftsman" to make it.

Audrey consulted her father, Earl Hall, in advance and got the answer, "You can buy it and use it yourself. It's a good idea to show your filial piety." So she specifically instructed Mr. "The Hanged Man" to ask the "craftsman" to make it into an item that the lady can carry with her.

This also made her wonder if her father had any better magical items, or if the Goddess Church provided a very high level of protection.

As she was thinking, she heard the voice of Miss Destiny for the first time in a long time:
"Ms. Justice, are you there?

"I have someone here who needs your psychological treatment!"

Audrey was stunned for a moment. She was not unfamiliar with this method of contact. It was somewhat similar to Mr. Fool's method of contact, except that there was no gray fog in front of her. Audrey believed that this was something that any being at that level could do.

But Miss Destiny rarely contacts her like this, not to mention that the reason for contacting her is to provide psychological treatment... Could it be that something happened to Mr. "World"?

This thought was rejected in just a moment. Alice clearly showed her concern for the "world" no matter what the occasion. Audrey didn't think this was an act, and there was not much urgency in this passage, which showed that this person was actually not important.

As for the problem not being serious… If the problem is not serious, Mr. World can ask Mr. Fool for help himself. It won’t be Miss Fate who comes to me…

While Audrey was thinking, there was a knock on the door, and her personal maid Anne said outside the door:
"Miss, the Earl wants to see you."

Audrey put the matter aside for the time being. She chatted with Earl Hall who came in inconspicuously. After he left, she found an excuse to ask people not to disturb her, and then responded to Alice by her honorific name.

Alice brought Hazel to Audrey's study. Audrey saw the girl brought by Alice at a glance. She looked at Alice with questioning eyes. Before she could speak, Alice asked:

"Um...should I tell you what happened?"

Audrey nodded and looked at the girl behind her.

It was an unconscious girl with dark green wavy hair. Alice threw her onto the sofa. Audrey frowned at her not-so-gentle behavior. She couldn't help but stepped forward to lend a hand and asked:
"What's going on here?"

"Fright, I suppose," Alice answered.

After a pause, she recounted Hazel's unfortunate experience from the beginning:
"She is Will Auceptin's new 'mother', Hazel Macht.

"Well, you know who she is, right?"

Audrey nodded.

Born into an aristocratic family, for social needs, she needed to remember the surnames of other nobles and part of their family history, as well as the kinship and interest relationships between the major families.

In addition, she also has to be familiar with the preferences of different young ladies and ladies, master "noble" skills such as painting and music, understand the country's political direction, learn "noble" knowledge such as classical literature and philosophy, as well as "noble" sports such as golf.

All of this is just to avoid dull conversations when chatting with other people.

Hazel Macht's name was also in this part of the information. Although they had never met, Audrey knew her age and education background, her family background, that she didn't like to go out, and...

Audrey was searching her mind for everything about Hazel when Alice's voice interrupted her:

“Well…it’s a long story.

"In short, she met me and Amon when she was pregnant with Will Auceptin..."

Audrey couldn't maintain her expression, she fell out of the audience state and took a breath.

Without Alice continuing to talk, she understood why Hazel was frightened - she knew how difficult Alice was to get along with, and the Amon in Alice's description seemed to be an even more lawless guy.

"I need to talk to her..." Audrey said with a slight frown.

Alice subconsciously stood up and was about to leave. Audrey saw her intention and hurriedly stopped her:

"I'll have to trouble you to wake her up first."

So Alice stepped forward and performed a pinching move on Audrey's Ren Zhong. After that, she temporarily stepped aside at Audrey's request.

While waiting for Audrey to finish her psychotherapy, Alice thought back to her experience.

First, I have to tell Leonard and Pales that Amon already knows that Pales is parasitizing Leonard...

Alice nodded, forcing herself to remember the first thing.

Then came the second thing. She frowned and thought seriously about Will Auceptin's possible bargaining chips.

...Besides Leonard, what other bargaining chips can he use to exchange with Amon?

...Klein?

This was the only possibility Alice could think of. She clenched her fists for a moment, then relaxed them.

——She has been keeping an eye on Klein for years. Although she doesn’t pay much attention to details, she will definitely be the first to discover something as big as Amon coming to Klein.

...Then, can I be Amon's toy together with Klein?
Alice lowered her head and fell into deep thought.

Audrey called her at this time, and she returned again, only to see Hazel still in a coma.

"?" She looked at Audrey in confusion.

Audrey noticed her doubts and took the initiative to remind her:
“She was seriously frightened and one treatment could not completely relieve it.

"Besides, you'd better not provoke her anymore..."

Alice glanced at Audrey's hesitant expression and asked as if she suddenly understood something:
"I don't want to appear in front of her again during her treatment?"

Audrey exhaled, nodded, and then added:
"It's best if no one wears a monocle in front of her..." (End of this chapter)
