Mystery: Lucky One

“Hmm…” Alice paused. “It’s actually not that bad. The godhood ritual involves… Oh, I know what you want to ask!”

Alice looked at Klein and her tone became serious:
"Adam doesn't care whether George III can become a god, but on the other hand... don't even think about stopping him."

“…I can’t stop this, right?” Klein cried out in injustice. “So, you mean that the other side is the main thing?”

"You really can't stop it," Alice avoided answering, "After all, the future is already determined. One of the seven gods will die, and Adam will become a god. So, you can't stop it, otherwise..."

She didn't say anything further, but only glanced at Klein. Klein's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "I understand."

Alice said no more and left Klein to return to the real world. Klein prayed to the Goddess of Night at night and indeed received a blessing. The next day, Alice entered the spirit world with Klein.

The highest point was covered with seven pure lights of different colors. Alice looked up and knew that they were the seven lights.

Klein let go of the secret doll, took out a box, unlocked the spiritual wall on the surface of the box, and let the breath of the Mist Wolf's heart flow out.

Then, he dragged the two dolls forward, and Alice followed him. After passing through many strange spiritual creatures, Alice suddenly stopped, and Klein also stopped. They faced a certain direction together.

Klein let go of the two secret dolls, and a slender figure emerged in the direction they were staring.

It looks like a hound, with short black hair covering its entire body. There are two burning, dark red flames in the eye sockets, and the corners of its mouth extend all the way to the back of its head. It is clearly there as a physical entity, but it gives people a feeling of unreality.

Then, its figure became increasingly illusory and disappeared in an instant, as if it was just a projection from history.

“…It just ran away like that?” Klein turned his head and asked.

"No, it's going to... Never mind, you'll know soon." Alice's face was full of indescribable expression.

Klein looked at her in confusion, then looked back to his original position. Not long after, two figures appeared at the same time. They were both Fulgrim dogs, covered in black fur, with fire in their eye sockets and cracks at the corners of their mouths that extended to the back of their heads.

However, there was only a ball of dark red flame left in the eye sockets of the two monsters, and the other ball was in their claws.

Before Klein could react, the two Fulgrim dogs lay down in the void of the spiritual world and wagged their tails.

"It seems to be helping you find potion ingredients," Alice said expressionlessly. "It looks like you not only inherited someone else's house, but also the guard dog."

Klein was stunned.

In the end, Klein took back his potion ingredients and turned his attention back to digesting the potion.

Although Fors's book has begun serialization, it will take time for it to become popular, and the digestion process is still slow. While feeling the digestion progress, Klein asked Alice:
"Tell me, can I scare you...

"Medici?"

“?” Alice looked at him in surprise. “You know what, “He” is really a good choice… He has a high status, but he is in a weak period. It’s simply…”

Alice's attitude was self-evident. Klein was encouraged, his eyes lit up, and he asked tentatively:

"If I really scared Him..."

“Tsk,” Alice sneered, “The only thing that’s tough about that guy right now is his mouth. It’s ok for him to bully you, but when he goes up against a real angel… heh.”

She can beat him... Klein was delighted and immediately said, "Then my safety will be in your hands?"

Alice looked as if she was leaving it to me, which made Klein feel relieved. He then turned to Alice and said:
"I told Bernadette the clue to the location of Emperor Roselle's final resting place."

"That's right," Alice said without objection. "Let her check... The Emperor didn't mention the exact location in his diary, but she might know."

Klein nodded as well, and they soon returned to the real world. Alice returned the "Staff of Life" to Klein. Klein took the staff and sent Fors on a journey, and then waited for news from Katarina.

Danitz sent Tracy's message three days later. Through Tracy, Klein successfully found Katarina's location. After arriving at the destination, he first contacted Alice. After getting a promise, he recited in a low voice:

"The great god of war, the symbol of iron and blood, the ruler of turmoil and strife, the 'White Witch' Katarina is in this area..."

Of course, he used a mouse puppet, and he immediately abandoned the mouse and left the place afterwards.

Looking at the mouse lying on the ground, Alice nodded with satisfaction. After a moment's hesitation, she did not erase the connection between Klein and the mouse. After all, Klein had told her about his plan, the core of which was to impersonate Amon. If she had appeared, the credibility of Klein impersonating Amon would be very low.

When everything was over, Klein manipulated the secret puppet in the appearance of Gehrman Sparrow and spoke in a low voice in front of the glass window:

"I have fulfilled my promise."

A figure suddenly appeared on the glass window.

He was wearing a black robe with red patterns and a hood casually pulled on, revealing a face with soft lines, brown skin, and a pale complexion. He was the "gatekeeper" possessed by Soren Einhorn Medici.

"Well done." The young man walked down from the window and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Klein took something out of his pocket, raised the corner of his mouth, and responded with a pleasant expression:
"You did a good job, too."

As he spoke, he blew on the monocle in his hand and put it on his left eye.

Soren Einhorn Medici's smile froze instantly.

For a moment, the cold night became extremely hot, as if invisible magma was surging.

However, everything quickly returned to normal.

The Red Angel evil spirit looked Klein up and down, then smiled as if nothing had happened:
“I repeat, you have a gift for being a provocateur.

"When Zaratul was digesting the 'Trickster' potion, he didn't dare to pretend to be Amon in front of me."

There was no anger in his tone, and he did not say why Zaratul did not dare, but when he was swept by his gaze, Klein felt as if he had fallen into the depths of a glacier, and his whole body was cold.

This was his real body's feeling. Even though there was a layer of secret doll between them, the hairs on the back of his neck and back still stood up.

This feeling did not last long, because Alice appeared and blocked the sight of the "Red Angel" evil spirit, glaring:

“What’s the point of bullying a child?
"If you weren't scared, why are you angry?"

The Red Angel's smile turned cold. He looked at Alice and replied:
"Then why are you being so arrogant in front of me?
"Why don't you go fight Amon?"

"Of course it's because I can't beat him?" Alice looked at him like an idiot. The "Red Angel" evil spirit laughed in anger, and asked earnestly: "Have you ever considered changing a path?"

"Do you know how I became a Beyonder?" Alice asked earnestly.

"What do you mean?" asked the evil spirit "Red Angel" with raised eyebrows.

Alice smiled slightly and answered truthfully:
"When I was about six or seven years old, I was still an ordinary little human girl. My ice cream fell to the ground. I went to pick it up, but ended up falling into the long river of fate..."

"?" A puzzled expression appeared on the face of the evil spirit of "Red Angel".

Alice continued:

"I was about to drown, and just as I was gasping for breath, I touched a glittering key..."

“…”The “Red Angel” evil spirit seemed to have a lot to say.

Alice stopped talking. She turned her head to look at the secret doll beside her and asked curiously:
"Did you scare Him just now?"

The expression on the Red Angel's face froze again. Klein took a look and decided to save his face. He avoided answering:
"During the Solomon Empire, Zaratul should have been an angel. How could he still be digesting the 'Trickster' potion?"

"I'm talking about little Zaratul." The evil spirit of the "Red Angel" secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, although his mouth was still firm, the "Red Angel" evil spirit finally agreed to Klein's request to interrogate Katarina. After Klein finished questioning, Alice helped erase Katarina's memory.

Afterwards, Klein returned Katarina to the Red Angel evil spirit, and Alice asked him:

"Your goal is the 'conqueror' trait of the royal family?"

Soren Einhorn Medici laughed and said:
"What's wrong, kid? Do you really think that a Sequence 3 witch can be my target?

"She should have become a demigod at the end of the Fourth Epoch, but she hasn't become an angel yet... Do you think she deserves it?"

Little friend… Alice gritted her teeth, then raised her bright smile and retorted:

"That is indeed no match for the great Red Angel, who participated in other people's godhood ceremonies in the form of magic potions in the Fourth Epoch."

"?" Klein began to wonder if it was too late for him to escape now.

The smile on the face of the evil spirit “Red Angel” froze again, but two illusory mouths opened on his face and shouted:
"Tear His mouth apart!"

The revenge was successful, Alice grabbed Klein and ran away.

The story created by Fors reached its first climax this Friday, with a huge explosion of content. Following this wave of enthusiasm, Klein successfully digested the potion on Sunday night.

After a good night's sleep, the next day, Klein walked into the study room full of energy. He used his consciousness to take out the potion materials he had prepared in advance. After informing Alice, he took the secret doll and the materials to the southern continent.

——After learning that Zaratul was in Backlund, Klein decided to stay away for safety reasons.

He chose an uninhabited island in the Violent Sea as the place for promotion. After selecting historical documents again, Klein put down the prepared cauldron in front of Alice's astonished eyes and put the ingredients into it one by one. The potion turned into a dark red object between liquid and gas, about the size of a baby's head.

Alice watched Klein confirm the safety of the potion through pendulum divination and reflected deeply on herself. Then, she watched Klein quietly take the potion.

In her vision, Klein was no longer a complete person. The human form was just an appearance. Through the appearance, she could see the swarm of insects wriggling inside. At this moment, those insects swarmed over, each tearing off a small piece of the potion and dyeing themselves dark red.

"..." It hurt her eyes, so Alice covered her face with her hands to block her vision.

It should be difficult for onlookers to see much, but in a trance, Alice saw the gray-white mist and the blue-black light gate hidden in the mist.

Alice was slightly startled, and she felt that there seemed to be some vague pattern on the blue-black light gate. She tried to concentrate and look, but it was difficult to see clearly. Until the scene disappeared, she could only make out a disc.

The outermost layer of the disk was mercury silver, and the inner layer gradually changed from lapis lazuli to dark black. There seemed to be a pattern on it, but it was unrecognizable. However, this was enough, because Alice remembered where she had seen the disk.

“Wheel of Fortune…” She looked at Klein in a daze. “So, the key should be inside as well…”

“What?” Klein, who had already completed his promotion, looked at her in confusion.

Alice blinked her eyes and recovered from her trance. Then, her face changed and she picked up the pot on the ground and said:

"Run!
"I can feel it, and others must have sensed that you've been promoted here!"

Klein immediately straightened his expression. Without any hesitation, he had the two puppets throw valuable things into the pot, then he grabbed the puppets and ran away.

Alice, who stayed where she was, blinked blankly, then silently dropped a "World" card on the spot as a prop against divination, and ran away with the pot.

She chased him to Klein's bedroom, then threw the pot and its contents at him, cursing:

"You didn't even take me with you when you ran away???"

"You need me to take you?" Klein also looked confused.

Alice choked, but that was not the way it should be, and she swore:

"Is this your reason for throwing everything on me and running away without saying a word?"

Aren't you fine too... Klein looked at her and smiled ingratiatingly, suggesting:

"Shall I buy you ice cream?"

"One is not enough." Alice showed a vigilant look.

Klein smiled slightly and said to Alice, "Of course, there won't be only one. Look!"

As he said this, Klein took out three different flavors of ice cream from the historical projection and gave Alice a bright smile.

Alice stood there, looking at the three ice creams with her mouth wide open in shock. Klein still felt it was not enough, so he continued to add:
"Oh, I have some good news that I haven't had time to tell you...

"Alice, my Sequence 3 potion seems to have been digested directly." (End of this chapter)
