Mystery: Lucky One

Even though the cross was the best proof of Adam's attitude towards the whole thing, Klein still gave him a reminder. After all, he had Alice by his side. Klein was too familiar with the attitudes of high-ranking beings towards ordinary people and even the lower-level Extraordinary people.

——That is naked indifference.

The Son of the Creator may not have intended to involve everyone. He just doesn't care and is too lazy to care.

However, Klein did not mention the other party's name directly, but only gave a simple hint.

The members of the Tarot Club all took note of this incident, and each of them had their own guesses in their minds. After a silence of about ten seconds, "The Sun" Derrick spoke:
"After a period of adjustment and preparation, I will follow the exploration team to the Afternoon Town Camp. This time, we will most likely try to enter the Giant King's Court."

The news was not too surprising. Alice looked over and then turned to the "Hanged Man" Alger. He really gave instructions.

After this incident, everyone chatted casually and the Tarot Club came to an end.

Alice didn't leave immediately. She still remembered Cattleya's request to offer Roselle's diary after the Tarot Club ended. It wasn't until the sacrificial door opened and a diary was taken out by Klein that Alice came forward curiously.

She opened the diary with Klein and frowned when she saw Roselle's words. She looked at Klein and found that Klein was also looking at her.

"It's the original," Klein said. "Strange, I thought..."

Alice knew what he was going to say because that was what she was thinking too—she had thought Bernadette would send her a photocopy.

After all, the originals are already cultural relics in a sense.

Alice and Klein didn't dwell on this question for too long. They only paid attention to it for a short while before turning their attention to the contents of the diary. Then, Alice gave up reading because of the long list of words. She looked at Klein solemnly and said,
"Mr. Fool, the great task of finding and saving our compatriots is now entrusted to you!"

Klein looked up at her expressionlessly. Alice was very familiar with this expression. It was a sign of being driven away, so she screamed:
"Wait a moment!
"I want the formula for the divination potion. Also, when Ms. Hermit returns the cross, remember to help me bundle it with the extraordinary characteristics of the Punishment Knight."

After a period of chaos, Alice left with the formula for the Arbitrator Pathway from Sequence 9 to Sequence 5. After handing the cross to the Hermit Cattleya, Klein did not stay long.

As an important event had just temporarily stopped, Alice fell into a state of idleness again. She opened her eyes in her seat, was dazed for a while, stood up and prepared to go out for a walk, but suddenly stopped, then appeared at the door of her house in a flash, and whispered to the two people who were knocking on the door:
"I am here."

——After experiencing such a ridiculous thing as someone else living in her house, Alice chose to stay at home and watch over her.

The people who came were Roy King and a pharmacist named Darkwell. He could no longer be called the fat pharmacist as he had lost a lot of weight. Alice's eyes fell on the pharmacist with a frown on her face.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you for a favor..." Roy King turned around and spoke immediately.

"No help!" Alice took a half step back, crossed her arms, and showed a vigilant expression.

Of course, she saw that there was something wrong with Darkwill, but this problem...

She glanced up at the sky. Fortunately, it was daytime and the sky was not covered with a red moon. So she relaxed a little and said expressionlessly to the embarrassed Roy King and Darkwill:

"How did you end up with something like that?"

Roy King replied:

"It's not what you think. It's a believer of the 'Original Moon'..."

He briefly introduced how the followers of the "Original Moon" were searching for the "School of Life" members who were stranded outside, and briefly described how he found Darkwill - all thanks to Darkwill's owl.

Alice listened to the whole story, her brows furrowed more and more, and finally she asked Roy King:

"Where's my holy book?"

Roy King handed over a thick notebook.

Alice took it and glanced at the beginning. She found that it was similar to the scriptures of the major churches, so she did not read the rest of the content in detail. She closed the book and said:
"For the sake of the Holy Scriptures, and because your student and I have a connection, I can solve his problem, but for the others..."

"Of course the others have nothing to do with you." Roy King laughed again.

Alice nodded and told them, "Go find a place to stay. Leave me your address and I'll come find you someday."

——She planned to deal with this matter after getting the cross back from Cattleya.

So the matter ended smoothly. Alice held the freshly baked holy book and threw it to Klein. She also told him about her need for the cross. After listening, Klein asked curiously:

"Then you don't need to make him Pope?"

"...I didn't have such an intention in the first place." Alice had a blank expression.

Alice left again soon, and spent the rest of the day leisurely, but leisure only belonged to her. Apart from her, everyone else was busy:
In order to learn how to hunt down members of the Rose School, Emlyn the Moon held a small gathering at the Tarot Club. Of course, he did not invite the great Miss Fate.

The Fool Klein issued a mission to Danitz and Anderson to start looking for traces of "Vice Admiral of Disease" Tracy;
The "Judge" Hugh had a heartfelt exchange with the golden masked man from MI9, and was deeply moved by the golden masked man's persuasion. He changed his reward into gold pounds and said that he would never take high-risk missions again.
Leonard "Star" performed a ceremony with the help of the church and successfully became a "Spiritual Witch";
"The Sun" Derrick introduced the Chief to the relevant information about the cross, focusing on the Creator's relics and the part about removing spiritual pollution. After listening to it, the Chief hinted that he would provide him with the information about the Silver City Seal later.

Alice met Klein again on Tuesday morning. Klein called her to Sefirah Castle and told her about Audrey "Justice" and Xio "Judgment" encountering Hvin Rambis and an unknown member of the "Psychological Alchemist Society" respectively, and expressed his doubts:

"According to what you said, Adam has already delivered the cross through Viscount Stratford, so he should have some idea of ​​who is behind Miss Judgment and the Magician. Why would he do this?

"After all, if Miss Judgment's temptation did not involve Adam, then there would be no need for Hvin Rambis to get involved in this matter, right? He is a saint after all, and should be extremely valuable even to the Twilight Hermits."

"It's necessary," Alice reminded. "Miss Justice and Magician are already Sequence 6, but Judgment is only Sequence 7... It's not too surprising that the three of them together would cause the demigod to take action."

Klein was stunned for a moment, then spoke as if he suddenly realized something: “Yes…”

Alice continued, "Besides, whether or not Adam's will is there has no effect on this matter... Does Adam's will mean that you will give up on stopping George III?" "Of course not." Klein said decisively.

"Yeah," Alice shrugged, "So... since Hvin Rambis is here to deliver us, let's kill him!"

This plan was brought to the table at noon that day, and "Justice" Audrey convened a small meeting for this purpose. This time, the great Miss Destiny was finally invited to attend.

After looking around, Audrey, the Justice, saluted and said:
"Everyone, I have something I would like to get your opinion on."

"It sounds urgent." Alger, the Hanged Man, nodded slightly and responded.

Audrey "Justice" sat down and said, "Yes."

She then looked at Judge Xio and Magician Fors:
"I met Hvin Rambis this morning, and he hypnotized me to do two things for him and to forget he was there.

“Fortunately, I was cautious and careful, and soon discovered the abnormality. With the help of Mr. Fool, I remembered everything.

"One of the things Hvin Rambis asked me to do was to arrange a meeting with Miss Judgment and Miss Magician, and take the opportunity to hypnotize them, learn from them the mastermind behind their recent actions, and have them leave Backlund as soon as possible."

What? Magician Fors was initially only concerned about Miss Justice's safety, but he didn't expect that things would turn around and come back to him and Xio!

It was really hard to guard against them to attack through Miss Audrey! Being targeted by a demigod... After Fors was surprised, she was more surprised and scared.

She couldn't help but glance at her friend, only to see that "Judge" Xio seemed to be sitting calmly, but his hands had unconsciously clenched into fists.

The Hermit Cattleya was a little confused and frowned slightly.

"The Psychological Alchemist Society, or Hvin Rambis, discovered that Miss Judgment and Miss Magician are members of our Tarot Club?"

"Uh," Alice raised her hands, "maybe it's because of me?"

The World asked politely, "Can someone look at you without your permission?"

"Yes," Alice turned her head, "Adam, Amon, the goddess..."

"I mean those who are lower in status than you." The World interrupted her.

"No." Alice was silent.

"Justice" Audrey shook her head and said, "I think this has nothing to do with Miss Destiny. It's probably because I know them in the real world."

By this time, she no longer tried to hide her identity from Fors and Xio.

In fact, ever since Hugh joined the Tarot Club and got the "Judgment" card, Audrey knew that she would be exposed sooner or later. Through repeated observations, she confirmed that her two friends should have guessed it, but they just tacitly did not expose her.

"Do you know them?" Cattleya pushed the heavy glasses on her nose and asked in surprise.

Audrey nodded. "Yes, I actually recommended them to join the guild. Mr. Hanged Man and Miss Destiny can testify to that..."

Huh? Didn't we chant the name of Mr. Fool to save ourselves and be pulled in here? How did it become being recommended to join the guild? Magician Fors looked at Miss Justice, then at Judgement Xio, with a look of bewilderment and confusion on his face.

Xio also rarely showed a similar expression, because the word "recommendation" exceeded her cognition and guess.

Audrey, the "Justice", felt a little embarrassed. She blinked and explained to her friend in the west:
“Because each of you has your own special qualities, and I hope that the Tarot Club will grow and develop, I recommended you to Mr. Fool. However, this is just an opportunity for you. If you fail Mr. Fool’s test, He will not bring you here.”

Alice used all her strength to resist the urge to tell the others that Mr. Fool might not have thought so much before pulling the people up.

"Yes," she said seriously, "Everyone who appears here has gone through a rigorous screening process. They are all the protagonists of a destiny."

Is this true or false… ?
Even Audrey, the "righteous" girl with the most girlish heart, couldn't help but look at Alice with suspicion.

But Alice's expression was normal. It was the "magician" Fors who suddenly had an idea:

Maybe, next I can write a novel, in which a group of destined protagonists can meet and communicate in some way for some reason, and exchange some intelligence items. Through these things, they are thriving in their respective fields...

"We'll talk about these things later," Alger's voice as the Hanged Man rang out, interrupting the others' thoughts. "Miss Justice, the question you want to ask is how to deal with Hvin Rambis?"

"Yes." Audrey "Justice" returned to the topic and asked seriously, "If I not only want to deal with Hvin Rambis, but also make the Psychological Alchemist Society not suspect me, what should I do?"

Alice withdrew her proposal to let Miss Justice hire her, and only reminded her of one thing:

“You may not be very familiar with Extraordinary beings above Demigod… I need to remind you that the strength of Extraordinary beings above Demigod is different from that of those below Demigod.

“After becoming a demigod, there is a key factor that determines the strength of a Beyonder, and that is their state. If they cannot kill the enemy cleanly and efficiently, a demigod who has been angered may lose control on the spot. A demigod who loses control is much more difficult to deal with than one who did not lose control, because they no longer need to worry about the risk of losing control.

"Be careful with this."

Audrey, Justice, gave Alice a grateful smile and said sincerely:
"Thank you for the reminder, Miss Destiny."

Alice nodded and added:

"Also, be careful of their incomplete mythical creature forms. Although this is a life-threatening means, some demigods can use it as a regular ability through some methods. It is not ruled out that Hvin Rambis has a similar method." (End of this chapter)
