Mystery: Lucky One

In the end, Alice ignored the source seed of the "mental plague".

It wasn't that she didn't intend to care about Klein. In fact, Alice just estimated the time it would take for the source seed to take shape, and finally decided to let Klein decide the matter himself.

——After all, he had said before that he had a virtual personality that he could use.

Moreover, she felt that Klein might have other ideas about this.

So Alice relayed this news to Klein, who thought for a moment and responded:
"If I am infected with the mental plague, can you restore me to normal without him finding out?"

"Okay." Ellie said without hesitation.

Klein immediately came up with a plan in his mind. He left a message to Alice about doing so and then focused on dealing with the enemy in front of him.

Alice glanced at Klein thoughtfully, and realized what he was going to do.

...But, if this shy person acts crazy and stupid, he will be embarrassed to death, right?

Alice stared at the half of Klein's body that was embraced by the spirit worm, looking forward to the scene of the spirit worm crawling around.

The seed of the "mental plague" eventually fell on Klein's mental island. Even though Klein swapped places with the doll in time, it was of no avail because Enuni had also planted a seed in the doll's place.

This cannot affect the secret doll, after all, the secret doll is essentially a dead person, but if someone exchanges positions with the secret doll, or happens to be next to the secret doll, it will be contaminated.

When Alice paid attention to the process of the "mental plague" taking effect, she realized that this was an influence that was difficult to offset by a virtual personality, because the essence of the "mental plague" was not an attack, but an erosive infection targeting the island of consciousness and the spiritual world.

Moreover, this would also bring out the problems that Klein had originally been hiding with his virtual personality.

But the premise of all this is that Alice didn't find out about this - and she happened to find out, and happened to have a way to solve the problem without the "audience" Enuni noticing.

But Enuni obviously didn't know about this, and neither did Shadow, especially Shadow. He became obviously more radical. He snapped his fingers and jumped to Klein's side with the help of the red flames.

Amid the flying confetti and shattered illusions, Klein seemed to have finally prepared himself mentally. He suddenly paused, raised his left palm, which was twisted and entangled by transparent worms, and covered his left face, which was in a similar state.

"Hahaha, hahaha!" He let out a laugh full of madness and manipulated the "spiritual lines" around him like a madman, no longer distinguishing between friend and foe.

On his right cheek, pale flesh buds bulged out, as if spiritual worms were about to emerge. Alice blinked and found that Klein had cleverly concealed the crawling spiritual worms.

Seeing that Klein was going crazy and about to lose control, Shadow worried that he would be infected by the "mental plague", so he quickly let a red flame rise up and engulfed himself.

In the distance, his figure leaped out from a stream of flames that had not yet been extinguished.

At this time, the "Silver Knight" puppet sometimes launched attacks and sometimes performed twitching dances, and it was obvious that it was being abnormally controlled.

“…” Alice glanced at the secret doll, then at Klein, feeling extremely disappointed.

Klein seemed to be powerless to stop the giant psychic dragon transformed by the "audience" Enuni. He allowed the other party to stretch its membrane-covered wings and fly above him, preparing to spit out "psychic breath".

The "audience" Enuni does not want to give the person infected by the "mental plague" a chance to breathe, and intends to make him lose control immediately.

Suddenly, the movements of this giant spiritual dragon became sluggish, as if every part of its speech was filled with paste.

The next second, a sharp silver-white light burst out from his body, dividing his flesh and blood and tearing his spirit apart.

Klein, who was bending over and laughing, suddenly calmed down and slowly straightened up. He released the hand that was covering his left face and raised the corner of his mouth towards the shadow in the distance.

Behind him, the giant psychic dragon was torn into pieces of black flesh and blood by waves of silver-white sharp edges, and fell to the ground with a clatter. The knight puppet wearing a silver helmet immediately retracted the sword in his hand and looked at the shadow coldly.

When the sharp sword light fell towards Shadow, realizing that something was wrong, red flames ignited on his body and he was about to run away. Alice shook her head, and the flames went out again. Shadow stood there, watching the "Silver Knight" secret doll pierce him with a sword.

Then, a paper stand-in came into play.

Alice was speechless, and so was Klein. The Silver Knight puppet raised the silver-white rapier without hesitation and pierced through the second paper doll.

The third, the fourth, the fifth...

After more than a dozen sword strikes, Shadow finally used up all of his paper substitutes. Alice looked at Klein with deep admiration.

——After all, everything that belongs to Shadow belongs to him!
In the dazzling silver light, the shadow quickly faded and disappeared. Klein only felt a sharp pain in his head, and then his mind relaxed. He subconsciously lowered his head to look at his feet, and then remembered that he was still in the atmosphere of the "Realm without Darkness".

Of course, this is not important. Klein's lips curled up, happy that his soul has been restored to its original state. However, the arc was not too big because the influence of the "virtual personality" still existed.

He still seemed more shy than usual, but he had no intention of removing his "virtual personality" because he was about to enter the "Giant King's Court" and it was necessary to keep a means of preventing mental attacks on him.

——He did not forget that Alice was going to grab the "blasphemous slate".

At this moment, the transparent worms on Klein's left face and left body quickly settled down and grew flesh and skin.

After the battle, Klein had no plans to rest. He turned to the battlefield faced by Chief Colin and others. Although they had also made progress, it was not as good as his.

Klein joined the battlefield without hesitation. The already tilted balance completely tilted to one side. Enuni's real body and two clones were quickly dealt with. Chief Colin put the sword back on his back, Lovia also took back the vengeful spirit, and Derrick stuck the axe on the ground.

They looked at Alice. Alice blinked and looked at Klein, who still had a shy temperament, and asked:
"Are you sure you want to meet Sasriel like this? To leave such an ingenious first impression on Him?"

"The virtual personality is very useful in offsetting mental attacks..." Klein explained.

Alice shook her head and reminded, "Then you can also change the personality of your virtual personality first."

"Won't you be too late?" Klein reminded.

"Sasriel is watching," Alice spread her hands, "Whoever is waiting, they obviously don't want to be the first to come into contact with Sasriel."

At this point, Alice realized something. She turned to the chief and smiled:

"Do you need to rest? Treat your injuries, recover your spirituality, or something like that?"

Colin Iliad glanced at Lovia and Derrick, and after hesitating for two seconds, he accepted the proposal.

Alice glanced at them and mouthed to Klein:

"Where's your messenger?"

Klein had never learned lip reading, so he mostly made vague judgments based on her facial features and body language. This was obviously beyond his scope. He tried to imitate Alice's lip shape and understand the content of her words, but before he finished speaking, Alice couldn't stand it anymore and asked directly, "Where's your messenger?"

"He's outside," Klein said, "I didn't let her in, and here...she shouldn't be able to return to the spirit world?"

Alice nodded and sat down.

Although they said they were resting, they actually didn't sit there for long. Klein walked around the "Source Castle" and returned after he found that he couldn't see the situation inside clearly. With the help of Lovia, Derrick and Colin Iliad's physical injuries were healed. As for Lovia herself... many things in the "Hanged Man" passage were not so clearly distinguished.

Obviously no one was going to wait to recover their spirituality, and Alice didn't try to persuade them - after all, they couldn't just sleep here.

When he was about to set off, Klein stretched his hand toward the air. Just as he was about to take action, Colin Iliad asked him:

"Are you going to summon the messenger you just promoted?"

After all, they had walked together for a while and even fought together. Klein finally relaxed a little towards the Chief. He did not shy away from him. Instead, he pursed his lips nervously and twisted his fingers in a timid response:

"Not necessarily. I have considered other existences - in fact, I have many options."

Colin, who has released his giant status and re-condensed his silver armor - this was at Alice's strong request, because when Colin Iliad released his giant status and revealed his naked, scarred and muscular body, Alice accused him of exposing his body in front of two underage children, one of whom was of the opposite sex.

These words shocked Colin Iliad, Lovia, and Derrick. Only Klein felt accustomed to it and didn't pay any attention to it.

Colin Iliad quickly accepted this setting. He condensed a silver armor and apologized to Alice. Derrick also seemed to accept it well. Only Lovia looked shocked.

When Klein gave his answer, Colin had already drawn out the two Dawn Straight Swords and said:

"The polluted monster just now showed the characteristics of corrupting living beings. The place where the Dark Angel is sleeping should also have a similar effect."

What the Chief meant was that the angel projection summoned by Mr. World might rebel after entering the Giant King's residence? And a fallen angel, even if it was just a projection, could cost us dearly... Derrick easily understood what the Chief didn't say.

“That makes sense.” Klein nodded seriously.

He considered for a few seconds, then dragged an ordinary crow out of the mist of history and let it fly through the open door into the deep darkness.

When the crow's silhouette was swallowed by the dark environment, Klein's eyebrows moved slightly, and he turned his head to tell the Chief:

“Lost contact.”

Colin Iliad responded, not at all surprised: "This is the King of Angels."

"Why do I feel like you understand the King of Angels very well..." Alice complained in a low voice.

“Okay.” Klein shook his hands a few times as if he was exercising his wrists, and took out a black cane inlaid with various gemstones from the air.

"Star Staff?" Alice looked at him in confusion. "What are you going to do?"

"I plan to see if the Sealed Artifact Projection and the Secret Doll will fall and rebel," Klein explained, "otherwise I really have no other options."

Alice shook her head and made no comment.

After they were done, Colin Iliad, Lovia, and Derrick simultaneously cast their gazes toward the darkness behind the open door. Alice looked at them and reminded them:

"It's going to be dangerous next."

The three of them didn't say anything, but just clenched the objects or fists in their hands.

Seeing this, Alice knew that they were determined. She walked inside, and the three chiefs and Klein followed.

……

“… Ouroboros?” Looking at the silver-white figure and his companions who landed in front of him, Will Auceptin’s already pale face turned even paler. “You brought someone with you? What are you doing?”

"Looking for someone." Ouroboros said briefly.

"Looking for someone? Are you looking for... No, you're not looking for me, you..." Will frowned, his eyes puzzled, "You're not looking for Alice, are you?"

"Well," Ouroboros nodded calmly, "You're not looking for her?"

"Uh..." Will's eyes wandered.

“Didn’t you feel it?” Ouroboros looked at Him intently, “The call of destiny…”

Will's expression turned a little ugly. He looked at Ouroboros and frowned.

"Did you see the consequences?"

“I see.” Ouroboros said without hesitation.

"…What is it?" Will's eyes became hesitant.

"I saw us standing together, and the next thing I knew, we were all dead." Ouroboros said calmly.

"...Then why are you still looking for it?!" Will Auceptin yelled.

Ouroboros stared at Him for a few seconds, then shook his head and said as if giving advice:
"Defying fate will do you no good."

After saying this, He spread His silver-white wings without hesitation and flew high into the sky again. As for the figure following Ouroboros, that was no stranger either.

The "Angel of the Word" Steve glanced at Will Auceptin, revealed his dark wings behind him, and also flew into the air.

However, His path was not consistent with Ouroboros’.

Ouroboros flew high in the sky straight towards the direction of the "Giant King's Court". As He said, He felt the call from destiny.

As for Stifel, He was wandering around the "God-forsaken Land" and checking the situation of believers in every city.

Will Auceptin watched the two figures fly high into the sky, he stood there and gritted his teeth, his eyes dark and unclear.

He glanced toward the distant east, then toward the west, which was faintly attractive to him. His face darkened, and he continued walking toward the east without hesitation. (End of this chapter)
