Mystery: Lucky One

Alice replied in confusion:
"Of course he's not dead. He's an archangel. It's okay if he's seriously injured, but it's impossible for him to die so easily. Even if he's dead, he might get up in two days..."

"?"

Although the early members of the Tarot Club had experienced the shock of Alice counting the number of resurrections with her fingers, they still couldn't help but marvel at the angel's tenacious vitality, their eyes were hesitant to speak, and only Alger, the "Hanged Man", still remembered poor Emlyn:
"Miss Destiny, can you tell me the details?"

Alice nodded indifferently and said:

"Well...it's pretty simple to explain, but it involves a lot of things...

"Earlier, Will Auceptin was seriously injured and threw away his umbilical cord blood to force a 'restart', but it accidentally entered the stomach of an acquaintance of mine...

"Under my commission, Amon took Will Auceptin away from this young lady, but the bad thing is that He left the pregnancy behind... I don't know how to explain that situation, but that young lady, she, um...

"She's not married yet, and she doesn't have a partner in a relationship... No, she probably doesn't have a partner at all!"

The women present collectively swallowed their saliva. Although they had known the feasibility of this matter for a long time - "Judge" Xio had also heard about it from "Magician" Fors, such a thing was still too sensational.

Of course, the one with the most eye-catching expression was "Star" Leonard. Obviously, this aspect was not included in Klein's supplementary lessons.

He asked in a very bold and creative way:

"No...hiss, if this is possible, what about men?"

"Normally, it's not possible," Alice blinked, "because men don't have a uterus... but some sequences of extraordinary abilities can create a uterus. In addition, the body structure of angels is relatively special..."

"Then can you give birth to yourself?" Leonard asked a more creative question.

Alice's expression froze for a moment. Frank Lee's figure popped into her mind. She shook her head in horror.

“No, I can’t.

“But I think there is a way.”

"Which one?" Audrey "Justice" interrupted curiously.

Alice gave a false smile and turned to the Hermit Cattleya and said:

"You'll have to ask Ms. Hermit about that."

Cattleya was confused by this sudden topic, but she quickly realized who Alice was referring to, and her expression also became reluctant.

Audrey looked even more confused. She seemed to be about to ask something. The hoarse voice of "World" rang out:

"She should have said 'tiller'."

"'The cultivator'..." "Justice" Audrey repeated.

She wanted to ask something else, but the world had already changed the subject:
"And then? How does this relate to Mr. Moon?"

Alice honestly followed the question and changed the subject:
"After I found out about this, I asked 'Moon' to help prepare an abortion pill for her to drink..."

"So, what seriously injured Will Auceptin was a bottle of abortion pills?" The World repeated.

"Why not?" Alice blinked.

Now most people understand, "Star" Leonard applauded:

"So, you used a bottle of abortion pills to severely injure an archangel?!"

"Don't blame me," Alice grinned, "I didn't do anything!"

She didn't lie, she really didn't dare to do anything, this was entirely Amon's work!

But no one would believe it. If she had mentioned Amon, it would have been fine. But she didn't say it, so such a denial would have no power. Alger, the "Hanged Man", had already started to analyze:
"So, we can't actually say that Mr. Moon severely injured Will Auceptin. The same would be true if someone else stood in Mr. Moon's position?"

Alice blinked and avoided answering: "I think 'He' may change his name to Will Amon."

Will Amon... Including "Sun" Derrick, several members who were impressed by Amon shuddered and stopped talking.

It was Emlyn the Moon who finally understood the hidden meaning behind Alger's repeated questioning. He asked with a sidelong glance:

"Do you think that archangel will take revenge on me?"

"No, I think He may not need to deliberately seek revenge," Alger, the "Hanged Man," shook his head. "Based on my understanding of the angel level, He only needs to look at you once when he is seeking the truth, which is enough to kill you."

“…?” Emlyn the Moon paused. As a child who grew up in an extraordinary race, he quickly recalled the angels in the history of the blood race and fell silent.

Even "Justice" Audrey didn't say much. She was no longer a newbie in the extraordinary world and had a deep enough impression of the power of the angels.

"It's not that exaggerated actually," Alice interrupted. "The 'Destiny' path isn't a path with strong attack power. As long as you don't look directly at the angel's mythical creature form in a prophecy or other situations, and don't close your eyes, you won't die immediately..."

After a pause, she continued with a strange expression:
"You know, the previous strongest hunter on the sea reached out to paint the mural left by Ouroboros, and he didn't die on the spot... He just choked to death on a mouthful of wine a long time later."

"Choked to death..." "Justice" Audrey's eyes became confused.

Audrey, who had lived inland for a long time, was not familiar with the rumors on the sea. The "Magician" Fors and the "Judge" Xio also didn't know much about them. As for the "Sun" Derrick, he knew nothing about them.

Leonard, the "Star", knew something about this matter and was the first to ask:

"I remember the version I heard, that he offended you and nearly choked to death on his own saliva?"

"I really didn't do it this time," Alice turned her head and said sincerely, "It's just that when we were on the sea together, I felt that his bad luck was annoying, so I took it away. When I got off the ship, I gave it back to him..." And...

This wasn't just Leonard's problem anymore. Everyone in the Tarot Club seemed to have something to say about the matter but didn't know what to say - it really sounded like Miss Destiny's idea.

Klein thought of this and didn't know what to say. He controlled the "world" to look at Leonard, the "star", and added the follow-up content for Alice:
"The version you heard is not completely wrong. If I hadn't persuaded her, she would have left Anderson eight times the bad luck... Under my persuasion, she made the extra seven into a talisman and left it to me. Now there are six left."

“?” Leonard opened his eyes wide in shock. “One times the force is enough to kill someone, so what will happen if it’s eight times the force?”

Audrey, the Justice, keenly noticed another point: "There are still six left? What does this mean?"

Alice said:

“Bad luck can’t be calculated that way… It’s not a simple superposition, it’s actually the magnification of the probability of all bad things happening. For unlucky people, there is no essential difference between one times bad luck and eight times bad luck… Even when you are blessed by luck, you will still be unlucky.

"As for why there are still six left... Humph, your Mr. World used the talisman I gave him as a bargaining chip to make Anderson pay him a ransom. In total, he demanded..."

“7000 pounds,” Klein added, “or items of equal value.”

This is truly worthy of being called Mr. World... Audrey opened her mouth and closed it again, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The others were in similar moods. Hermit Cattleya's eyes were full of admiration, the Hanged Man Alger had a hint of envy, and the Star Leonard spoke without thinking:
"Can you let me do this kind of task next time?"

Alice turned her head and glared at him, baring her teeth fiercely at him, and then said:
“You wish! If I give it to you, I won’t give you the Doom Spell at all. I will reward the Archangel next to you and allow Him to temporarily recover his peak strength!”

Leonard looked a little disappointed. Alger, the "Hanged Man", paused and regretted for the first time how unlucky he was to have joined the Church of Storms in the first place.

If I were a Nighthawk...

The "Hermit" Cattleya looked at Alice, then at Leonard, and then at the "world". The doubts about the "world" that had been accumulating in her heart for a long time finally disappeared.

Judging from the performance of "Xingxing", the offensive attitude and behavior of "The World" before might not be without reason... Maybe Miss Destiny really fell for it?
The biggest doubt disappeared, and as for the other doubts, "Hermit" Cattleya and "Hanged Man" Alger learned to answer them on their own.

Alice spoke in silence: "So, you don't really believe that it was me who did it?"

"No," Leonard shook his head. "After I knew Miss Destiny was you, I never believed those rumors... I mean, if you really did that, the goddess would never accept you."

That may not be the case... Alice's eyes flickered slightly with her filter broken, but she did not reveal the truth. She raised her eyes and said:
"What do you mean by accepting me? Dark Night is just my beloved, that's what I mean by believing!"

“?” Leonard’s eyes became confused and shocked. He turned to the “world” as if he wanted to confirm something.

Before he could speak, The World replied, “Don’t doubt it. She has always been like this. She also said that Mr. Fool is her favored one.”

Leonard subconsciously looked at the Fool again, but he looked away in a split second, not daring to look again. He just asked Alice:
"Miss Destiny, you know, He once told me...

"No matter how the angels appear, they have great respect for the true God in their hearts. Is this true?"

Alice blinked and smiled:

“It’s not just the true God either.

“I have a lot of respect for everyone I can’t beat.”

Leonard felt like he understood, but also like he understood nothing.

Audrey the Justice, Alger the Hanged Man and the others glanced at Alice, then cast a subtle glance at the lofty Mr. Fool from the corner of their eyes, and then thought that perhaps the respect in the eyes of mythical creatures was indeed different from the respect in their eyes.

For example, this respect should not be expressed in words or in form... ?
The Tarot Club ended in a turbulent atmosphere. As a major event came to an end, Alice's life seemed to have returned to a peaceful atmosphere.

Klein finally harvested a new secret doll in September. This one came from Bernadette, the "reaper" she promised. This poor Sequence 5 was kidnapped by a demigod and became the secret doll of another demigod. According to Klein, Bernadette even specially picked a wanted criminal, although he was a wanted criminal of Intis.

The Miracle Circus is in operation, and with her help, Klein has successfully drawn the correct symbols and created a spell using the Spirit Worm.

The effect of this spell is almost the same as the "Let's Talk About Tomorrow" spell that Alice created, except that it lasts for a shorter time and the materials are easier to obtain - the most standard material for "Let's Talk About Tomorrow" now is Will Auceptin's blood.

But it is limited after all. If it is used up, Alice has no interest in drawing her own blood to make spells for others, unless the money is enough... ahem, besides, she has to keep some auxiliary materials for making the "Prophet" potion... unless she really scooped out the water from the long river of fate.

Other materials might be feasible. For example, Alice could ask Renette Tinicole what materials were used at the time. But I don't think it would be very convenient, unlike the spirit worm...

“If, I mean if,” Alice looked at Klein while holding the finished product in her hand, “If the principle of materials like the Spirit Worm is that after death, the Beyonder characteristics flow back to the body…”

After a brief pause, Alice asked with a hint of curiosity:

"Remember? When a Beyonder gives birth to a child, Beyonder characteristics will be excreted...

"I think this should be a complete process? For example, if the child dies in miscarriage, will the extraordinary characteristics flow back to the body?

“If so, can the child… Ouch, why did you hit me!”

“I know you’re not human,” Klein reached out and snatched the amulet, “but your idea is too inhuman!”

Alice shrank back, and she approached cautiously and said:
"Well, let's try another one?
"For example, my corpse after 'restarting'..."

Klein was silent for a moment about this suggestion. He remembered his suggestion to use the skull as a wine glass, and after thinking for a while, he said:
"If you don't mind this kind of thing, then I don't have any objection..."

"...I still mind it a little bit," Alice said with a strange expression, "It is a bit...if I dismantle Will Auceptin, I may not feel so burdened."

Klein rubbed his brows and changed the subject:
"Let's talk about what this spell is called. I remember your previous spell with a similar effect was called...

"Let's talk about it tomorrow?" (End of this chapter)
