Mystery: Lucky One

Among all the options, Amon was the first one to be eliminated. However, Alice was still hesitant about whether or not to inform Amon before taking action.

——After all, once this matter is carried out, Amon will definitely notice it.

…Then let him find out by himself! He created this mess by himself anyway, so he deserves the consequences!
Ellie abandoned her "best friend" without hesitation, thought about it, and contacted Miss "Justice" first:
"Ms. Justice! Have you given Hazel any psychological treatment recently? How is she doing?"

When Audrey received the message, she was a little confused, but she still took the time to reply:

"…Her treatment went smoothly, much better than expected. I have asked her to recall some of her past experiences. Although she does not have specific details yet, she already has an impression of what happened…"

Alice listened thoughtfully, and responded after Audrey finished speaking:
"Okay, I have nothing to do for you for now. I'll call you if there's anything."

After hearing this, Audrey stood up from the toilet silently and frowned.

Ever since she left Hazel to her, Alice never asked about this matter again, and seemed to have completely forgotten about this person. This made Audrey even doubt that her original instructions were unnecessary.

Today's situation proved that her original advice was still useful. Audrey felt inexplicably relieved to receive the respect of this couple of doctors.

——It’s like my own child has finally grown up.

This idea was a bit presumptuous. Audrey only had this thought for a short time before she quickly gathered her thoughts and left the bathroom.

——Not treating Miss Fate as a deity on the surface will help you get along with her, but if you do the same psychologically, you will be challenging Miss Fate's patience.

Obviously, Audrey had no such interest at the moment. She just inevitably began to wonder why Alice suddenly thought of Hazel, and at the same time she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

I hope nothing happens...

She sighed and then walked towards her personal maid.

……

After learning about Hazel's current situation from Audrey, Alice hesitated for a moment and did not go to find Hazel.

It's not that I don't intend to take care of her, but there is no way to "have an abortion" and it will be useless. This kind of thing that stimulates the patient can be put aside for now to maximize the benefits.

Alice didn't know much about the medicine of this era, but based on stereotypes, she estimated that it wouldn't be much better. After all, Western medicine was not like Chinese medicine. In Alice's understanding, Western medicine was extremely dependent on instruments.

But this world... with a technological level that hasn't even developed electricity, where do all those various medical instruments come from?
Alice shook her head, put aside the possibility of relying on local technology to achieve abortion, and began to consider it from an extraordinary perspective.

Abortion with medication was a good idea, and the Tarot Club had a ready-made "Potions Professor", but Alice was not sure whether calling Emlyn would be of any use - after all, this was not a normal pregnancy.

How about I find another "thief"? There's Pales... No, if I do that, Amon might come knocking on my door!
Alice cut off the thought halfway through her mind, as she remembered that the archangel on the "thief's" path was Amon's "former lover" whom he had not seen for many years. For this past relationship, Amon even hunted her down in the "God-forsaken Land".

Without any hesitation, Ai Li decided to find a helper and change her thinking. For example, if abortion is not possible, giving birth to the baby might not be a bad idea... ?
Frank Lee and even the Harvest Church were therefore taken into consideration by Alice. Of course, the main target was still the Church of Mother Earth.

Apart from this, there might be other ways to solve the problem. After thinking about it, Alice decided to find someone to discuss it with.

Thus, Klein learned of this bizarre fact above the gray fog. When he first heard about it, Klein was horrified and asked in shock:

"No, is it still possible?"

Alice spread her hands and replied, "My expression was not much worse than yours when I saw this."

Klein realized that such a creative result was not a characteristic of mythical creatures, but a characteristic unique to Amon. He felt relieved and murmured:
"I suddenly remembered that you reminded me before that Amon might be able to steal control of Sefirah Castle from me...

"Tell me, can He do it? He can only steal Sefirah Castle, but when the owner of Sefirah Castle wakes up, the target is still me?"

Alice's smile disappeared.

She did not hide the fact that Sefirah Castle once had a master from Klein. Since she did not know about the existence of the Sequence, it was useless to know this. It would be better to remind Klein to be careful of the former master of Sefirah Castle.

But the incident with Amon obviously gave Klein some special inspiration. Alice paused for a moment. Even though she didn't know the principle of Amon's ability, she realized that this was not impossible, and that Amon might have planned this.

This is too horrible. Alice clenched her fists and sneered:

"If He dares to have such thoughts, I will let Him be entangled by the previous owner of Sefirah Castle and He will not be able to obtain Sefirah Castle!"

"What are you going to do?" Klein asked doubtfully, "Do you still have this ability?"

"No." Alice answered decisively.

She really didn't, and it wasn't because of a lack of imagination. After thinking of this way of playing, Alice considered it seriously, but found that she couldn't do such a thing with her authority alone.

But she does have a way to do this, of course, not relying on ability, but...

——If the "Key of Light" and the "Lord of Mysteries" had a close relationship, perhaps if Amon stole her apotheosis ceremony, this would naturally come true.

Although this may not be a good thing.

Alice shook her head and stopped thinking about this question. Instead, she reminded:
"Don't talk about this for now, I came to you to ask...

"Tell me, if I plan to find someone to give Hazel an abortion, who would be the most suitable person?"

"First, rule out giving birth to the child," Klein stopped the most dangerous one. "Not to mention that giving birth to the child is not a good idea for either Amon or Will Auceptin. The key is this child..."

Klein paused and asked Alice with a strange expression:

"Do you hope that when Silver City eats Frank's food in the future, it will contain..."

He said nothing more, but his expression was meaningful, and Alice understood it at a glance. She imagined the possibility of eating mushrooms stuffed with human flesh, and she also thought it was a good idea to exclude Frank Lee.

——Even if you go to the Church of Mother Earth, you can't look for Frank!

Alice soon noticed something was wrong, and she couldn't help but remind Klein:

"If I remember correctly, the material Frank Lee used to make those mushrooms was the flesh and blood of a 'Rose Bishop'. In other words, these mushrooms were originally mixed with human flesh."

Klein's expression twisted instantly. He suddenly felt like vomiting. If there was nothing on the gray object for him to vomit, he would have probably vomited by now. But even so, Klein's face didn't look any better. He cursed at Alice:

"There's no need to tell me this kind of thing!" Alice sighed and said with a heavy heart:

“I think that knowing Frank’s research is like foreigners eating our country’s food.

"You can think that what he makes is magical, amazing, and even tastes good, but you'd better not ask him what he made it with."

Klein nodded in agreement.

They looked at each other, sighed, and began to select suitable candidates.

"Actually, I think you can try using the potion to induce abortion," Klein suggested. "If there's a reaction after drinking it, that's the best. Even if there's really no reaction after drinking it, it's just like drinking a glass of water. It won't have much of an impact. At worst, you can just reboot her."

This is indeed an idea. Alice nodded, accepting the suggestion, and then asked:

"Okay, you're right. We can let her drink the potion and try...but what if the potion doesn't work?"

Klein shook his head and said:

"I have no idea.

“Your ideas are already complete, and it’s hard for me to come up with anything new.

"After all, there are only a few methods that can be used. If none of them work, there are only a few ways to find a solution, such as divination, Arrodes...

"After all, you can't tell me that you really have an alliance with Amon?"

It’s hard to say... Alice paused.

Although Alice is not on Amon's side in her heart, you have to look at Alice's actions. After guessing Amon's deification ceremony, Alice has decided to directly "give" her own ceremony to Amon.

Although this was not the fundamental purpose of this matter, in a sense, Alice was really helping Amon become a god.

This expression confused Klein. He looked at Alice hesitantly and asked:

"You and Amon, you guys...?"

“It’s not what you think.” Alice closed her eyes. “This can probably be considered a deal. If…if there’s no problem, it’s a win-win deal.”

After a pause, Alice looked at Klein again and murmured:

"But you reminded me that even if I become a god, Amon will never let you go. He must get Sefirah Castle. It's just a matter of time.

“It seems that since the outcome is uncertain, we need to plan the timing of this matter carefully… Don’t let Amon use me to touch you.

"Also, I have to make sure you have the ability to at least deal with the god-like Amon by then..."

I was so scared. I said how could she really form an alliance with Amon? Did she have some crazy plan to go with me to be Amon's toy... No, according to her, she was at least a pet, and I was just a toy.

Klein shook his head with a smile, and suggested to Alice:
"If you can't get any results from Arrodes, try feeding the potion to Hazel.

"Even if it's a child born from a 'restart', the abortion potion should be useful, right? Anyway, you try it first. If it doesn't work, you can ask at the next Tarot Club..."

Alice spread her hands and said sincerely:

“I don’t know, I don’t have that experience.

"And I guess normal people probably don't have such experience. Although Hazel's existence does prove that the 'restart' of the 'fate' path is actually very arbitrary in some ways, Hazel's situation... well...

"That is, I think that a normal 'Mercury Snake' who plans to restart should find out the situation of his future 'mother' before 'restarting'.

"After all, whether it's unmarried pregnancy or cheating, it's not a good reputation."

“Cheating?” Klein was stunned.

Alice spread her hands and said:

“Yeah, think about it.

"What if a couple happened to be apart at the time, or the man was infertile, or they had been at odds for years, and although they appeared to be in love, they were actually strangers...

"In similar situations, if a wife suddenly becomes pregnant, won't others suspect that she is cheating?"

Really... Klein's mouth twitched as he agreed, "Indeed... In this way, the child might be aborted. It's totally asking for trouble."

After a pause, Klein said thoughtfully:
"Since so few people choose this option, does it mean that children born from 'rebooting' can actually be aborted?"

"It's possible..." Alice had a strange expression on her face. "But I'm more curious, is the abortion drug in the hands of the 'Potions Professor' only responsible for killing the child, or will it accidentally hurt the mother in the process of killing the child?"

Klein was stunned for a moment, then looked at Alice and guessed:

"I see. Are you worried that the connection between the child and the mother is too strong, so that after the abortion, the child is fine, but the mother is..."

Alice nodded repeatedly and said:
"After all, I saved Hazel. I saved her from Amon. If she gets into trouble because of an abortion, wouldn't it be a waste of my life?"

This made sense. Klein nodded in agreement, and then couldn’t help but remind him:
"Amon, you led her to her, right?"

Alice paused for a moment, then slapped the table without any guilt and said:
"Besides Amon, there are also Will Auceptin and Flora Jacob! One of these two guys made her pregnant before marriage, and the other wanted to fatten her up and eat her. Neither of them is a good person!"

That makes sense... Klein shook his head, accepted it, and then reminded him as if recalling something:

"I seem to remember that you mentioned to me that Hazel's pregnancy seemed to be related to you..."

Alice choked and said in a timid tone:

"Well, well, well, anyway, at least I didn't do anything to Flora Jacob, she came to me on her own!
"Isn't this Hazel's own bad luck?" (End of this chapter)
