Mystery: Lucky One

After Sharon answered, Klein asked a few more questions. Alice racked her brains but couldn't figure out the connection between these things. She had no choice but to support her chin and listen to Klein's analysis of the questions.

To Alice's disappointment, Klein did not make any analysis. After establishing his dominant position, he directly said:
"I'll tell you how to do it based on the actual situation."

“?” Alice stared at Klein, who was keeping the secret, and did not look away until Sharon and Maric agreed.

Klein then turned around and said to her:

"Children should go to bed early and get up early."

Alice gritted her teeth, glared at Klein, and went back to sleep.

Watching Alice disappear from the spot, Klein turned around to say goodbye to Sharon, but Sharon suddenly asked:

“Why didn’t He ask you for money?”

“What?” Klein was stunned.

Maric was also stunned when he heard this for the first time. Extraordinary people on the "Destiny" path rarely act in groups or have close contacts with others. He and Sharon were not close Extraordinary people on the "Destiny" path, but they had simple contacts, exchanges, and even transactions.

The sequence of this Miss Destiny in the rumors was not clear. They could only be sure that she was an angel, but no one objected to the fact that she belonged to the path of "destiny".

And Alice's behavior of asking for gold coins just now also illustrates this point - she needs "exchange".

Most of the Extraordinary people who have dealt with the "Destiny" path are aware of the "equivalent exchange". Compared with other Extraordinary people who have only met them occasionally, Sharon and Maric know more - they know that this "equivalence" is actually very arbitrary.

But even if you do whatever you want, there is no reason to give nothing. Even if you have to pull a piece of grass from the roadside and hand it over, you should always give something.

But, Sherlock Moriarty...it seems like he really gave nothing?

Maric and Sharon looked at Klein together, frowned and asked:

"Did He ever ask for compensation from you for helping you?"

……Have it?
Klein felt that there was. Although the accounts between him and Alice were already a mess, they still had a relationship of give and take, but the exchanges were probably less...

Klein suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He remembered what he often told himself - he always believed that every gift from fate had a chip marked behind it.

But, but...

What are the chips marked in Alice's gift?

Klein was stunned for two seconds, and suddenly remembered Alice's call of "Mom".

He suddenly felt that he might know what the bargaining chip was. He swallowed and said with difficulty:
"I think so."

This expression was not optimistic at all. Maric turned to Sharon. Sharon was silent for a moment and then said:
"That's good."

After that, there was silence. Sharon and Maric were not talkative people. After Klein stayed silent with them for a while, he felt that this was a bit strange. He said goodbye and disappeared from the spot.

Seeing Sherlock Moriarty's figure gradually become transparent and finally disappear on the spot, Maric retracted his gaze and looked at Sharon, hesitantly asked:

"Tell me, do I need to pay a gold coin?"

Sharon turned to Maric and fixed her eyes on him for two seconds before saying:
"That's our common reward."

……

Alice returned home and then remembered that she had forgotten to give Klein Leonard's address. She conveyed this to him through prayer before going back to sleep.

After spending two days doing nothing, it was Friday night, which was the time when the mummy with a long name would dock.

Alice didn't go to Pritz Harbor because the view of the bustle there wouldn't be comprehensive enough. She focused her vision on Pritz Harbor so she could see a panoramic view.

Klein and two others appeared on the top floor of a warehouse. After some preparation, Klein began to assign tasks. When Alice saw the iron cigarette box containing the Azik copper whistle, she suddenly understood something - he was going to let the mummy come over by himself!
Alice patted her head and thought that she still had a lot to learn.

She continued to watch, and Klein took the lead in putting on the mask. Alice was stunned for a moment. She knew the camouflage ability of the "Faceless Man". If Klein didn't want to expose himself, he could just change his face into a weird one, for example, the position of the eyes was the two nostrils, the two eyes were distributed on the cheeks, and the mouth was on the forehead...

If this is too iconic, he could just change into a common face. In short, the mask has no value in appearing here.

Alice realized that this was a kind of reverse thinking. After putting on the mask, others would not consider the possibility that the face under the mask was actually fake. If he put on another fake face, it would be a double disguise.

Alice was amazed and felt like she had learned something new.

What followed was a melee. Although he knew that Alice was actually paying attention to this side, Klein's behavior could be described as cautious. He did not rashly provoke the demigod. After all, Alice had reminded him that there were angels and "0" level seals here, and in Klein's impression, at the level of angels, Alice was not really a capable fighter.

She might be better at calling for help.

Klein was probably not the protagonist of the night. Alice saw the fighting between the Loen military and the Rose School, and suddenly realized what a great thing they were going to do—they were going to steal the mummy right under the noses of two forces with angels!
Alice blinked after realizing this, and suddenly had a new idea.

She has always regarded the "Key of Light" as an enemy that she must defeat, but in fact, in fact...

Will the "Key of Light" have other enemies of the same rank?
She didn't have to win in the true sense. She only had to "restart" after becoming a god, then fall into a long sleep, and wake up after Klein was promoted to the "Lord of Mysteries"...

It's actually very easy.

The real difficulty actually lies in the step of becoming a god. The "Wheel of Fortune" is like a huge bait placed there. Alice is sure that no one who bites it will have a good result, otherwise the "Key of Light" would not force her to bite the hook.

Her previous idea was to let Amon steal her ritual, and then she would take the opportunity to become a god. Or, to be more precise - she needed to become a god at the moment when the "Key of Light" would not be able to take care of her!
But, is one Amon really enough?
Alice cast a serious gaze on Klein and laughed again.

One Amon is certainly not enough, but He is a natural mythological creature, a product of the fusion of "wrong" uniqueness and humanity, and He is left by the "Lord of Mysteries" to be the resurrected successor of the past "God"... - In addition to disrupting the revival of "God", is it possible that Amon has a second function?
For example, becoming part of the resurrection plan of the "Lord of Mysteries"...

...But this doesn't sound plausible. If it were so, I'd been kidnapped by the Lord of Mysteries! He and I have become one, right? How could this be possible?

Alice thought of Amon's clone and Klein's secret doll, and her discussion with Klein about the figurines, and suddenly fell silent.

... "Key of Light" You weren't really a figurine for the "Lord of Mysteries" before?!

No, no, I need to confirm the relationship between the "Key of Light" and the "Lord of Mysteries" in the past... Who should I ask?

Alice suddenly fell silent.

Obviously, no one she knew had lived from the time when those two existed to the present day, not even those who had died. This was something she knew she couldn't do the moment she heard it.

Alice sighed and consoled herself again.

It doesn't matter, things will work out when the time comes. If not, we'll talk about it later... And, and, if it really doesn't work, I'll... take a gamble too?
No, maybe I don't need to gamble at all...

She frowned and then relaxed her brows, suddenly realizing a problem that neither she, Amon, nor Klein had ever thought about before.

No matter what the current situation of the "Key of Light" is, His person is real. Amon, where on earth do you get the confidence that you can steal the ceremony of becoming a god?
If this was really a gamble, perhaps the outcome was already determined the moment Amon stole the ritual.

As for now... it seems that the chips prepared by both sides are still entering the game one by one?
Alice frowned, thinking that using her brain was not suitable for her, so she decided to concentrate on watching the show.

She shifted her attention away from the battle between the two sides for the position of demigod and focused on watching Klein's performance.

Then Alice noticed that at the critical moment of the fierce battle, a hand wearing a transparent glove stretched out from the void near the golden coffin of Tutankhamun II and grabbed a ball of soil soaked in dark red liquid.

Those night bodies were a mixture of Tutankhamun's brain and body fluids, ritual materials for maintaining spirituality, and the latter included plasma!
Alice narrowed her eyes slightly, and suddenly realized something. She stared at the place closely, and sure enough, a figure in a suit and a top hat appeared. It was Klein!

Alice saw that Klein's right hand was pressing on his left chest, as if he was saluting several demigods. Then he maintained the posture and raised his head to reveal a face wearing a gray iron mask, which quickly faded and disappeared.

By this point, Alice had understood what Klein was going to do—she knew about the existence of Groselle's Travels.

This was an amazing magic show. Alice, who had just been forced to use her brain, had her eyes light up instantly and decided to give this magic a name as a way of relaxing.

...a big transformation into a mummy?

No, maybe I should go and applaud the best actors and writers of this show first...

When Klein brought Miss Sharon and Maric back to the two-bedroom apartment they had rented in the East District of Backlund in advance, Alice was already waiting there.

She looked at Klein in amazement and gave him a compliment:
"I saw it all... What a wonderful magic show - I guess those two demigods you saluted to must be pissed!"

Sharon and Maric didn't understand the intention of these words. They thought that the matter had failed, but Alice's expression didn't seem to be sarcastic. They could feel the excitement and joy, and Alice's words were full of praise.

She seemed to really think she was watching a wonderful magic show.

But how could a failed magic trick be called brilliant? Sharon and Maric suddenly felt a glimmer of hope. They saw Klein, and Klein... he had just opened his eyes.

This couldn't be blamed on him. Although Klein knew as early as the "Magician" stage that the audience's feedback could provide a bonus to his digestion progress, the impact of the angel-level audience seemed to be huge - he had just finished digesting the "Master of Secret Arts"'s potion.

Of course, maybe not all angels can do this, Alice's situation is very special...

Klein exhaled, revealing a look of joy on his face. He looked at Sharon and Maric with joy and said to them:

"You two, please go to the room outside and wait. Give me five more minutes."

At the same time, he extended his hand.

Sharon and Maric immediately had the answer in their minds. Even though they were full of doubts, neither of them asked any questions. Sharon handed over the copper whistle and then floated out of the room. Maric followed her, opened the door and left, not forgetting to close it.

Alice then turned around and asked, "Should I go too?"

“Whatever you want.” Klein said as he took out the book “Groselle’s Travels”.

The cover of the book was already smeared with dark red mud, and the marks had not yet dried. Klein ignored Alice. He put down the travelogue and set up the ceremony. After Alice looked at it for a few seconds, she suddenly asked:

“Can I enter the world in this book?”

Klein, who was setting up the ceremony, was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "To be honest, I don't know."

This wasn't to fool Alice. Many things couldn't be generalized after the angel arrived. Klein really didn't know if Alice could get in. He could only know after trying.

Worried that Alice might want to try it now, Klein didn't take the initiative to bring it up. Fortunately, after hearing this answer, Alice frowned and looked thoughtfully at Klein who was arranging the ceremony. Then she said:
"Hmm... maybe I should wait for you to finish your business?"

Klein nodded in agreement, and Alice had no choice but to stay where she was and watch Klein busy himself. Half a minute later, Alice thought this was a bit boring and decided to appreciate the expressions of the two demigods.

Although the two demigods of the Rose School were angry, they had already left the scene after the mummy disappeared. When Alice looked over, she only saw the two military demigods who remained.

She arrived just in time. The two demigods were discussing the results of their investigation. Alice heard the lady in the middle analyze:
“Perhaps, the removal of the soil containing Tutankhamun’s bodily fluids was a ritual…

"This is a very cunning and deceptive guy!"

A very cunning and deceptive guy... Alice's mouth twitched, and she thought of the Storm Church donation box that was stolen by Amon. (End of this chapter)
