Mystery: Lucky One

This sentence made Audrey realize something. She was moved and said with a smile:

"Of course I will... In fact, I am terrified."

Alice turned to look at her, listening attentively.

This change was not obvious, but it was enough for an "audience". Audrey continued in a gentle voice:

"You are different from the people I have met in the past. My extraordinary ability probably has no effect on you?"

Audrey's inquiring gaze fell on Alice. After two beats, Alice nodded and said "hmm" softly.

So Audrey sighed and said:

"I don't have any extraordinary abilities. I'm just an ordinary person. I can only chat with you. In this way..."

She didn't say anything else, but shook her head and sighed again.

Alice stared at her, frowned and asked, "Then why did you agree to me?"

Audrey said to her helplessly:

"If you have a better choice, why would you choose me?"

Alice paused for a moment, then asked, "Aren't you afraid that I'll be in a worse state after talking to you today?"

So that's what you're worried about... Audrey exhaled and smiled.
"But I'm not bad... and how do you know it won't work if you don't try?
"After all, I have learned so much about psychology, and I have provided psychological counseling to many people..."

Alice was slightly startled. She temporarily withdrew from the uneasiness of being expected and examined her past.

I’m not bad either…right?

After two seconds of silence, she turned her head and abruptly asked Audrey:
"What kind of...what kind of god do you think I am?"

"I don't know," Audrey said frankly, "Powerful, mysterious? I don't need to say that... But I guess people who are familiar with you will think that you are like a child..."

She glanced at Alice and her tone became hesitant. Alice was silent for a moment and then continued:
“…Probably not.”

She looked at Audrey, who seemed to be in a daze, and spoke as if recalling a memory:
"How old was I when I first stepped into the long river of destiny? Six or seven? Seven or eight? It was as if I had a very long dream in there, and when I woke up, I became a god..."

Audrey opened her mouth in surprise. She gave up trying to control her expression and revealed an indecent look.

Alice added the last sentence faintly: "So, I'm probably not like a child..."

"This is really..." Audrey slowly put away her surprised expression and said with emotion, "This is really surprising, Miss Destiny... Can I ask a question?"

"What?" Alice asked in confusion.

Audrey looked at her with amazement and asked in admiration, "Were you an ordinary person when you were born?"

"I think so?" Alice hesitated.

"I don't think so," Audrey denied with a smile, "Although I don't know what the situation you described is... but ordinary people probably don't have a chance to wake up."

Alice was slightly stunned, and she subconsciously replied: "Maybe I'm just lucky..."

Audrey naturally continued her words: "Isn't good luck enough? Luck has put you here, maybe luck can allow you to do more things?"

Alice paused. She was no longer bothered by what happened before, but Audrey's words made her feel strange. Even though she realized that Audrey was trying to comfort her, Alice couldn't help but say:
"…Miss Justice, relying on fate is not a good habit."

"I know," Audrey spread her hands, "You demonstrated it vividly with yourself."

Alice felt like she was scolding herself. She stared at Audrey, defeated by her innocent eyes, and said in despair:

“…I want to eat ice cream.”

Audrey seriously considered the possibility of coaxing Alice into a good mood if she ordered ice cream from the beginning.

……

Alice received a message from Crane on Thursday.

After hearing that Ince Zangwill had finally appeared, Ellie gave Klein the good fortune she had promised without hesitation, and then began to watch the fun from a distance using the mystical coordinates Klein had given her.

This was a wise choice. After Alice looked up at the figure in a simple white robe and a silver cross, she became more certain of this - she would never go down there even if she died.

This is not a question of whether or not she is afraid of Adam. Alice saw the silver river that just disappeared at the scene, and Klein told her that the evil spirit hidden in Ince Zangwill's body is most likely Medici, a king of angels!
This is a bit too scary.

The battle was about to break out. After Alice saw Klein use Ludwell to take away Medici's evil spirit, she had a bad feeling in her heart. She wanted to warn him, but now was not the time. She frowned and waited for the battle to end.

"0-08" wrote words on Ince Zangwill's robe from time to time. Alice's attention soon fell on "0-08". She was not worried that Klein would lose. On the surface, this was a drama directed by Klein, but the moment Adam showed up, Alice knew that Ince Zangwill had to die today.

——“0-08” probably belongs to Adam.

Sure enough, although the situation changed several times under the influence of "0-08", in the end, Klein holding the death knell still appeared in front of the dying Ince Zangwill.

...No, he is still alive.

Alice frowned and looked at Ins. After seeing Klein, he quickly responded and roared:
"You, it's you! You are still alive! Let's die together!"

Alice began to seriously consider whether she should go out for a walk.

Klein showed no surprise or impact. He raised his right hand and pulled the trigger as if he had a premonition.

boom!
Ince Zangwill was knocked to the ground by the powerful impact, and the cracks on his head became wider and wider.

“The shot just now was fired for Ms. Daly.” Klein said in a deep voice.

Then, as Ince Zangwill struggled in vain, shots rang out one after another:
“This shot was Leonard’s.

“This shot belongs to the captain.

“This shot belongs to Megoose.

“This shot belongs to the inner watchman.

“This shot was from the destroyed Blackthorn Security Company.

"This shot belongs to all Nighthawks.

"This shot is my own."

Amid the sounds of bang, bang, bang, bang, Klein pulled the trigger continuously and made corresponding changes, firing silver demon-hunting bullets, which poisoned Ince Zangwill's other leg and opened his forehead, making his roars become lower and lower, and gradually making him lie on the ground.

Finally, Klein flashed in front of Ince Zangwill and pressed the Death Knell revolver against his face. At this moment, mysterious and strange patterns appeared on Ince Zangwill's head, which was about to split open, creating a strong impact.

He still has the ability to resist!

He was waiting for the other party to get closer and use his own mythical creature form to turn the situation around!
However, Klein's brown eyes just looked at him without reflecting anything.

He pushed harder on the Deathstroke revolver and pulled the trigger.

boom!
Ince Zangwill's head exploded completely, like a broken watermelon, with fragments and juice splattered everywhere.

As the death knell sounded, Klein raised his left hand, rubbed his eyes, and pushed the real eyes hidden underneath back into place.

There was a mist in his brown eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up a little bit. He said in a low voice to the dead Ince Zangwill:

"I wanted Alice to do this shot herself."

Alice opened her eyes wide. Klein fired the shot so quickly that she almost didn't react. She just stared blankly as he took out a tarot card from his pocket and threw it on Ince Zangwill's body.

This is a reversed "Star" card.

At this time, a figure appeared not far away. Looking at the dim feather pen in front of him, Alice suddenly remembered something. She appeared in front of him in an instant, raised one foot, and stepped on the feather pen.

Adam, who had half bent over, stood up again and looked at her calmly. Alice was inexplicably nervous. She swallowed and repeated what Amon had said to her:
"Except for Ouroboros who has been eliminated...

"Will Auceptin and I, I stand on the side of the future 'Fool', and he stands on the side of the future 'Error'...

“That makes sense, doesn’t it?”

Adam looked at her calmly. Alice swallowed nervously and had the urge to withdraw her foot and run away. Fortunately, Adam spoke before she gave up:

"That's right.

"That's reasonable."

Alice quickly retracted her foot and took several steps back.

Adam didn't care at all. He maintained his peaceful smile and bent down to pick up the quill again. Alice stared at him, and after hesitating for two seconds, she decided to take this rare opportunity to ask a question:

"Did we know each other? I mean, before, you know what I mean..."

As she asked, Adam picked up the quill, his eyes fell on her calmly, and he said in a calm voice:
“I know you.

"But I haven't seen you... I don't know the answer to your question."

Alice's expression froze for a moment. She pursed her lips and stared at Adam, but she felt as if a stone had fallen from her heart. Many things that she had originally doubted about now had definite answers.

She should be grateful to Adam, because after all, he gave her the answer she had always wanted. But facing the person who finally revealed the truth, Alice suddenly felt a kind of resentment and a feeling of anger that she wished Adam would die.

...No, that's not right.

this is not me!

Alice pulled her emotions out of her body and became rational and calm, which was something every demigod on the "Destiny" path could do, and she was no exception.

Adam glanced at the tarot card as if he was unaware of what had just happened, then smiled and said to the two of them:
"All the gifts from fate have already been secretly marked with a price, right?"

After saying this, he turned around and gradually disappeared into the ruined square, leaving behind a chant-like sentence:

"Under the witness of the 'audience', Klein Moretti completed a magnificent drama and directed a magical murder. He completed a perfect ritual and will try to get promoted when the drama falls into disrepute."

As she watched Adam's back disappear, Alice turned her head and asked Klein as if she was in a trance:

"you say……

"What does it mean that even the omniscient and omnipotent being does not know the answer?"

Klein was slightly startled. Alice smiled with a look of sadness and relief, and said softly:

"Try to get promoted... I'm watching you."

Klein didn't say anything. He vaguely realized that it might be best not to say anything at this moment. He just took out the potion ingredients one by one and mixed the potion in a small metal bottle.

Then he raised the potion and drank it all.

Alice watched this scene quietly. She saw Klein screaming, his expression twisted in pain, and transparent worms emerging from his body one after another.

……worm?
Alice suddenly regained her liveliness. She took a half step back with a look of fear on her face, then she remembered that the person in front of her was Klein. She hesitated and stepped forward, looking at the worm that had emerged and thinking seriously about what would happen if she reached out and touched it.

He's getting promoted, isn't that a bad idea...?
Alice hesitated and pressed her right hand with her left hand, then pressed her left hand with her right hand, then pressed her right hand with her left hand, and then...

She crossed her left and right hands and moved forward. Finally, before she was about to touch the worm, it shrank back and turned back into skin. Klein opened his eyes again, stood up straight, and his eyes fell on her hands.

Alice was silent for two seconds, then she took her hand back and tapped her chest four times, drawing a crimson moon symbol, and said solemnly:
"Congratulations on becoming a demigod."

Klein hit her on the head.

Alice held her head and screamed, and Leonard, who was trying to get up from the ground, fell back in fear, successfully diverting their attention.

The atmosphere became awkward for some reason. Leonard looked at the two of them, hesitant to speak. After two seconds of silence, Alice turned to Klein and asked:

"Have you decided who you want to be the female companion?"

“…Can’t I just be a man?” Klein tried to bargain.

Leonard looked at Klein and then at Alice, his expression full of confusion and hesitation. He finally couldn't help but ask:
"what are you guys saying?"

Just as Klein was about to speak, Alice spoke first:
"It's like this, Klein wants to be your female companion... Stop hitting me!"

She was halfway through her words when she screamed and jumped away, holding her head. Klein retracted his hand and said to Leonard calmly:
“Ignore her.

"She suggested that I attend the captain's wedding with you as your female companion, so that the captain would know who I am at a glance."

Leonard listened, his mouth opened in shock. He stood up from the ground and argued seriously:

“I find it difficult…

"You know, my handsome face can still attract a lot of girls' attention. If I just attend as my female companion, I'm afraid the captain won't think of it..."

"I understand!" Alice clapped her hands and looked at Leonard excitedly, "You should find a male companion!" (End of this chapter)
