Mystery: Lucky One

"...What do you mean?" Klein subconsciously observed Alice, intending to get further answers from her expression.

Alice pursed her lips. This could only be considered a guess that had come true. She had always suspected that she might be the result of multiple influences that had been crushed and reconciled, but the new personality she had created was more stable.

The fact that had been speculated for a long time was revealed, and naturally there was nothing difficult to accept. However, Alice looked at Klein and felt inexplicably sad. She stretched out a hand, pulled Klein's sleeve, and said carefully:
"Klein...

"Will you ever become Mr. Fool or the Lord of Mysteries one day?"

Klein looked at Alice and said thoughtfully, "So, who is the Lord of Mysteries?"

Alice paused for a moment, then she took her hand back and said in a daze:

“Oh yeah, you’re an angel…let me think about how to tell you.

"Well first of all... have you ever thought about combining adjacent pathways together... Oh no, you have thought about this.

“Have you ever wondered what would happen if you put all 22 pathways together?”

“What?” Klein asked cooperatively.

"It will summon a dragon." Alice said with a serious expression.

“…Alice,” Klein frowned for a moment, then relaxed his brows. His voice was gentle, “Please don’t make me laugh for now, okay?”

To be honest, he was actually very gentle and didn't say a single harsh word, but tears welled up in Alice's eyes for a moment. Klein subconsciously reached out to pull her, but Alice leaned back, turned her face away, and replied in a nasal voice:
"it is good."

After a pause, she looked at Klein with an expression that could not hide her sadness. She stopped joking and told him the secrets of the sequence in detail.

During her question-and-answer session with Klein, Klein had a general idea of ​​the Outer Gods guarding above the Sequence and outside the Earth, especially the Outer Gods outside the Earth. He pressed his forehead and asked:

"How to fight this?"

“I just know that if we don’t have support, no matter how much we think, it’s useless.” Alice glanced at Klein and sighed softly. “I didn’t want you at first… I even thought about asking Amon to come…”

“…?” Klein looked at Alice with a hesitant look. “With you and Amon, the end of the world may not come from the Outer Gods.”

"I... forget about Amon. I think... forget it. I don't have the confidence." Alice thought of something and the corner of her mouth twitched. "Maybe Amon is more reliable than me..."

This sentence startled Klein. He didn't have a very good impression of Amon. In comparison, Klein always felt that Alice would act with propriety in critical situations. Just like now, Alice would consider his poor condition and stop making trouble.

Alice noticed his puzzled look, and she shook her head and talked about the good things that the "Key of Light" had done.

Klein was shocked by Qi Guang's words. He looked at Alice in surprise and said hesitantly:
"If I go to the True Creator now and tell Him that I want to exchange an angel with Him..."

He paused under Alice's threatening gaze, and finally changed his words: "I am ready to give up the followers of the original Sea God."

"Why?" Alice looked at him puzzled.

"Because I found that having more believers is not always a good thing," Klein shook his head. "The perceptions of those believers are too contradictory to those of the rest of the believers, and they are also very different from my own image... After Silver City and Moon City complete the conversion of their beliefs, I plan to give up on these believers."

Alice nodded in understanding. Klein glanced at him and then said eagerly:
"If, I mean if...

"If I try to preach to others in the 'Forsaken Land'..."

"No," Alice shook her head. "If you want to spread faith among those people, the best choice is Adam. They are already in a competitive relationship. As for you... do you believe it or not, the two of them will come and beat you up together soon?"

Klein immediately gave up this dangerous idea and asked, "Speaking of which, can a secret doll be a believer?"

"Why are you asking me about your abilities?" Alice rolled her eyes at him.

Klein thoughtfully kept this idea in mind. This inspiration came from Amon's clone. After organizing this part of his thoughts, he smiled at Alice and said:

"Yes, Alice.

"I am now truly the Yellow and Black King who controls good luck."

"Hmm?" Alice raised her eyebrows.

“Although I’m probably no match for you, or even Will Auceptin…” Klein shook his head, “But I do understand the probability you’re talking about.”

Alice was surprised for a moment, then suddenly said: "That's right, 'Miracle Master'... But, in this case, can you answer a question for me? It's not convenient for me to ask the goddess..."

"What?" Klein looked at her curiously.

"What is the difference between the power of good and bad luck and destiny?" Alice tilted her head. "When I saw the power of the 'Mage of Misfortune', I was thinking about this question... The essence of the power of destiny is to control probability, but bad luck and good luck also seem to be controlling probability?"

"Controlling probability is a matter of detail," Klein shook his head. "If I don't make fine adjustments, or if I don't do it myself, for example, if it appears in the form of a spell, the overall situation will be biased. Can you give others good luck during the 'Doom Mage' stage? It's not micro-manipulation, but an overall change..."

"I don't know," Alice shook her head. "It didn't mention the uniqueness, only the probability adjustment. I deleted all the knowledge about potions, so as to whether it exists... I swallowed the uniqueness first, then drank the potion."

After a pause, Alice frowned again and said, "Come to think of it, how can removing bad luck or removing good luck not be considered a way of bestowing good luck or bestowing bad luck..."

“…People like you are generally called argumentative.” Klein glanced at Alice and shook his head. “I have become an angel. What you are going to do next…”

There was a hint of worry in his eyes. When Alice thought about it, she felt a headache. She sighed and said:
“I really… maybe I should have let you get close to Will Auceptin in the beginning, so that He might have more courage to hunt me down because of you.

“How on earth should I let Him hunt me down… Oh, forget it. I’m going back to the ‘God-Forsaken Land’ first. You better be careful out there.” “You want to go back?” Klein was stunned.

"Of course I have to go back," Alice said matter-of-factly, "Remember to bring me food?"

"...Can I ask Danitz to deliver it to you?" Klein tried to negotiate. "The seal on the 'Forsaken Land of Gods' has been temporarily lifted. Before it is sealed again, you can receive prayers, right?"

"Whatever," Alice shrugged, "Remember to tell him not to send me mushrooms... Oh, there's one thing, do you remember?"

“What?” Klein was stunned.

“Bernadette,” Alice reminded, “I told her before that when you recover your strength further, she can go find Emperor Roselle, and then you will provide her with some help…”

"That's it," Klein suddenly realized and nodded. "Let's wait for her or Ms. Hermit to pray for this."

Alice made an "OK" gesture and habitually tried to leave the "Source Castle". After a few seconds, she was still in the same place and silently looked at Klein, saying expressionlessly:
"Put me down."

Klein laughed out loud. He glanced at Alice and said, "It seems I still need to figure out how to grant you the authorization."

After saying this, he shook his head and cut off the connection with Alice.

Returning to the real world, Alice first checked her backpack. As it was not convenient to carry the "blasphemous slate" in some situations, she arranged a school bag for herself during this period and even changed into her school uniform.

But now...

Alice took off her backpack and held it in her arms. The white robe appeared on her body again, and the backpack in her arms disappeared. Only the "blasphemous slate" was left in her arms.

Alice lowered her head and sighed. She rarely took the speed pass. Instead, she spread a pair of white wings of light and flew back to the ocean of the God War Ruins.

——Of course, it was flown in stealth mode.

Re-entering the center of the ocean of ruins of the war of gods, Alice was lucky. As soon as she stood still, night fell.

The seal of the "God-Forsaken Land" has been opened, and the process of entering it is naturally not that complicated. Although one still needs to wait for the dream at night, the trouble of praying does not exist. Following the familiar light path, Alice appeared in the illusory ocean again.

After crossing the ocean and climbing the mountain, the "Giant King's Court" that had been opened was in front of them. The ancient kingdom of the gods in front of them was no longer shrouded in the frozen dusk, and above it was the scorching sun at noon. Alice looked up at the sunlight, squinted her eyes, then turned her head away and took a step to continue moving forward.

As soon as she raised her legs, a creepy feeling started from the back of her neck, running down her entire spine, bringing a strong sense of uneasiness. Alice almost instinctively moved dozens of meters away.

A silvery-white river appeared where she was just now, circling around her, but failing to wrap around anything.

But this was not what Alice cared about. Where the river emerged, a figure in a linen robe appeared in the sky, and his indifferent and gentle silver eyes fell on her. Then, he folded the wings of light behind him and landed safely.

He walked towards Alice, and Alice stepped back, as if out of some tacit understanding. Neither of them used extraordinary abilities, and they just walked forward and the other stepped back until Alice missed a step and fell to the ground.

Ouroboros did not stop, but continued to move forward at a steady pace. Alice took a breath, hugged the "blasphemous slate" tightly in her arms, jumped up on the spot, and then ran away.

Oh no, that was a running start. The same type of light wings opened behind her, and she soared into the air, flying forward at the fastest speed.

Ouroboros said nothing, but also spread his wings of light and chased after him.

Facing her peers, Alice never thought about entering the long river of fate. Perhaps her "uniqueness" was special enough, but compared to Ouroboros who possessed two extraordinary characteristics of the "Mercury Serpent", this was probably the only special thing about her.

Besides, Alice was sure that Ouroboros had no intention of killing her, he was just hunting her down - it sounded a little strange, but that was how it was.

No monster was so tactless as to disturb the two angels of destiny from chasing each other. Even the other angels who accidentally saw them avoided their sight. They flew unimpeded in the sky above the "God-forsaken Land" until Alice's eyes lit up and she suddenly accelerated towards the ground.

Ouroboros naturally accelerated as well. They maintained a distance that was neither far nor close. Alice quickly rushed to the ground, jumped behind a young man with black hair and black eyes on the ground, and kicked the young man forward with her leg.

The young man seemed not to react to what was happening. He only had time to reveal a look of horror, then staggered a few steps. When he raised his head again, he found that there were two silver-haired figures in front and behind him, with their white wings folded.

"Long time no see," the female figure greeted Him with a smile, "Will."

This sound broke the silence. Ouroboros suddenly transformed into a giant white scaleless snake, and its bloody mouth swooped in front of them. Ellie turned around and ran without hesitation... Oh no, she flew. Will Auceptin quickly followed and cursed:
"Alice, are you sick?"

Alice ignored Him and flew faster.

Will Auceptin cursed and followed. The three of them flew past at a low altitude. In the distant wasteland, the young man wearing a monocle turned his monocle, unable to hide his smile in surprise, and muttered to himself with a bit of shock:
"This is the first time I've seen such a scene... But how are they going to end this?"

Naturally, no one answered His question, so He had to continue watching this absurd farce.

Will Auceptin, who thought he had suffered an unprovoked disaster, quickly made a decision. He took on the form of a mythical creature, but his purpose was not to fight back.

The huge scarlet mouth opened, and with infinite malice, it attacked Alice beside it.

——As we all know, when running away, what you need to do is not to outrun the murderer behind you, but to outrun your companions around you.

Will Auceptin was obviously familiar with this. Moreover, He and Alice could not be called companions at all. It might be more appropriate to say that they were enemies. So He acted without hesitation - until He saw the joy in Alice's eyes.

The silver-haired, blue-eyed girl faced the bloody mouth in front of her without any fear on her face. Instead, she was full of joy. Will Auceptin suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. Before he could react, Alice suddenly stopped and turned to face him.

This made Will Auceptin stunned. He hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should continue. At this moment, he found that Alice was getting taller and taller - no, he was getting shorter!

He opened his eyes wide, raised a pair of baby hands, and looked completely confused. (End of this chapter)
