Mystery: Lucky One

This is the church of fools. The church pattern and architectural style are taken from the little "Sun" - there is nothing special about it. The architectural style of the church is similar, except for the color matching and decorations, and the main thing is the symbols.

Faith in the Fool is also one of the backgrounds of this town.

——He actually thought about the possibility of writing Alice in the background, but he soon realized that this would not work, because he could not agree with Alice's idea of ​​calling herself the goddess of light, but using a church that has already become a fact to force Alice to be the goddess of fate...

He's not that kind of parent.

Moreover, Alice's statement that everything revolves around fate sometimes makes him wonder if her having such an idea and her determination to do so means that this is also part of fate. But soon Klein will think again, could it be part of fate that he used a church to prevent the birth of the goddess of light...

He really didn't want to get involved in this meaningless speculation.

Putting this matter aside, Klein returned to the construction of the town. He made a wish:

"I hope this island has a deep-water port." Klein did not stop and made a second wish for himself.

Snapped!
He snapped his fingers again, fulfilling his wish.

About three kilometers away from the town, a small port was rapidly formed, with two docks, five warehouses, a port hotel, a simple restaurant, a police station, a bar, a lighthouse, and a naval camp stationed in the port...

"I hope that the port and town have convenient transportation." Klein made his third wish.

He then raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.

A cement road and a freight railway instantly appeared between the town and the port.

According to Klein's plan, the port part is prepared for visitors from the sea, and the town part is mainly for dealing with outsiders from the northern and southern continents.

Looking at the deserted city with admiration, Klein lowered his hat and "teleported" directly to the side of the town square. He walked step by step into the church he named St. Alice.

——The main reason was that Saint Germain had been called before. When choosing a name, Klein, who had just thought about whether to believe in the goddess of fate, wrote down the name without hesitation.

Anyway, it should be okay as long as we're not speaking in a language like Hermetic...right?

Klein felt guilty for a moment, but when he remembered that Alice had not been deleted from the Holy Scriptures of the Church of Evernight, he became bolder.

Through the open church door, it was dark inside and the interior could not be seen.

After an unknown amount of time, three figures appeared at the door. They were a gentleman in his thirties wearing a formal suit and a bow tie, a woman with an ordinary appearance and a gentle expression, and a child dressed like a little adult.

The woman took a few steps with some difficulty, stretched her neck, then smiled, stretched out her hands, and held the arm of the gentleman next to her.

The gentleman smiled faintly, allowed the lady to half lean on him, and stretched out his right hand to hold the little boy.

The little boy walked skippingly and looked very lively.

Their movements were a little awkward at first, but they became smoother as they went along, and they passed through the square peacefully.

After they left, more and more people came out of the church, including policemen, repairmen, gas company employees, restaurant chefs, gray-haired old men, and farmers in simple clothes...

In the next hour, people kept coming out of the church. They turned to different streets, went to different places, entered different houses, or stayed in the square to enjoy the scenery without white pigeons.

During this process, the number of people coming out completely exceeded the church's capacity, but there seemed to be still people inside, as if it was connected to another city.

Nearly a quarter of an hour later, the church door finally returned to silence, but rats, cockroaches, moths, ants, flies, mosquitoes and other insects were hiding in other places.

Finally, a stained glass window high up in the church opened, and white doves flew out and landed in the center of the square.

Those who stayed here came completely alive, some teased the white pigeons, some looked for vendors, some played the lyre, and some talked to friends with smiles on their faces.

A man wearing a top hat, a windbreaker and carrying a cane and a revolver left the town square and walked to the other side of the town, where he stopped in front of a wooden sign.

When he took out the pen, a doubtful voice sounded:

"Hey, why don't you put a 'Red Theater' next to the harbor?"

“…?” Klein paused. “Have you ever thought about what this means?”

Alice immediately replied: "You want to whore yourself... well, is this considered a daffodil or an impart?"

“……?” Klein’s eyes became confused, as if he didn’t understand the meaning of these two words.

Alice hummed softly and explained to him:
"Come to think of it, Amon would have a similar question, right? Well, if your puppets do that kind of thing with each other, and there are many puppets together, formally speaking, it is impart - if you pronounce it in the same way, you should know what this word means, right?

"But this is actually Narcissus... well, it's narcissism, or, turning oneself to oneself... just like what you are going to do tonight."

“…” Klein put down his pen. “When you are born, I will send you to kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school, and high school until you are admitted to university.”

"Hey!!!" Alice screamed in shock and anger.

Klein ignored her. He picked up the pen again, thought for a while, and wrote "Utopia".

Alice shouted a few times but got no response. She seemed to have given up and started to express her opinion on the name:
"What a hell, utopia...hiss, your ideal country, is it actually a place where there is no living person, only you and your OCs?" "Although I really want to tell you that there is something wrong with your way of thinking, I don't think you will listen even if I tell you..." Klein said as he put away his pen, "So, can you tell me what an OC is?"

Alice groaned and tried to organize her words:

"It's... uh, it's... in layman's terms, it's a character? You give it a name, and set up a background story. It can be an existing background, or an original background. Anyway...

"Your secret dolls, I mean the secret dolls with their own independent personalities and life trajectories, can probably be considered OCs, but they may be a little more advanced, after all...

"OCs chat with themselves, interact with themselves, and even interact with other people. Normally, this kind of situation would require them to be admitted to a mental hospital."

Klein listened to her explanation thoughtfully, and then he seemed to remember something and said, "According to you, the OC and the real person are actually independent, right?"

"Yes," Alice agreed.

"So if a group of OCs are having sex..." Klein continued thoughtfully, "It seems like it should be impart?"

“…?” Alice fell into deep thought, “But, but, they are still you in essence…?”

……

The "Magician" Fors was promoted to "Mystic" in mid-February, stepping into the threshold of demigod. On the full moon that followed, Fors communicated with Mr. "The Door" as commissioned by the Abraham family.

After Fors reported the results, Klein also made an attempt, and the truth behind the cry for help was finally revealed. He realized that Bethel Abraham was not shouting for "Help" but "Don't save me"!
After instructing Fors, Klein turned around and left Sefirah Castle, telling Alice about the matter.

Alice expressed moderate surprise at this - she had long suspected that there was something wrong with Mr. "Door" who was communicating with people, and she was surprised that Mr. "Door" said don't save me.

“Great man,” she said, “I hope you will bring His extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness back to your native land.”

“……?” Klein felt that something was wrong. “Are you suggesting that I covet His extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness???”

"It's only a matter of time," Alice said nonchalantly, "After all, Sefirah Castle is with you... If possible, you can consider saving Him, but let's talk about it later... Wait until the matter of Zaratul is resolved."

"Speaking of this, why hasn't Zaratul come to see me yet?" Klein asked puzzledly.

“It’s only been a few days…” Alice said lazily, “I haven’t even had time to collect any clues about you being here… Well, actually, if you stay here all the time, even if you want to hide from Him, it will be very difficult - the probability of being discovered will continue to increase, and it will become increasingly difficult for me to make an impact.”

"In other words, as long as I stay in one place for a long time, I will be discovered sooner or later?" Klein pondered.

“No,” Alice replied calmly, “If you are lucky enough, your opponent will die before finding you, and then leave the extraordinary characteristics to you.”

"..." Klein stopped talking with mixed feelings.

……

Following the Fool's instructions, Fors only revealed part of the truth to the Abraham family. First, he emphasized that Mr. Door was half crazy and very dangerous. Even if they talked to him, there would be great risks. Second, he only told them a more complicated way to lift the curse, which was to sacrifice one demigod each from the "Fortune Teller", "Thief", and "Apprentice" paths.

The first point was to answer the questions that had troubled the Abraham family for many years, and the second point was to allow the "magician" Fors to gain the trust of the Abraham family while also providing a difficult enough path for some unwilling Abrahams.

In this way, most of the people with weak wills can be persuaded to give up. The few who are still obsessed with Mr. Door's return will find it difficult to achieve this goal. Klein and Fors have plenty of time to stop it.

Moreover, these three paths... Most of the demigods of the "Apprentice" path are Sealed Objects, and almost all of the demigods of the "Thief" path were Amon before Amon's accident. Even when Amon was in trouble, at most they would become Sealed Objects as well - it is still unknown whether they have changed or not.

As for the "Weird Mage", it seems to be the most normal way. After all, in the past, among the two high-level people on this path, Zaratul did not like snacks, and Antigonus might like them, but he did not have the energy to eat them.

Alice did not judge Klein's thoughts. She just said in a meaningful tone:

"Sometimes, your worries may be the reason that makes things happen."

Klein didn't understand the true meaning of it. He still didn't know what the prophet's prediction was all about. Alice only told him that the prophecy was not necessarily the true future in the long river of fate. The ability of the "prophet" itself was not to peek into the future, but to make his own "prophecy" come true.

After being promoted to "Miracle Master", Klein subconsciously regarded this as an ability similar to the "Miracle Master's" wish. When he fulfilled enough small wishes in the same field, he would be able to fulfill a grand wish in that field. He believed that prophecy also followed a similar principle and had not thought about the possibility that the fulfillment of "prophecy" was related to whether anyone believed in it.

Of course, this was not important, because just the day after Fors relayed the message, an Abraham named Verdu single-mindedly embarked on the journey to recall Mr. Door. Klein left the surveillance work to the Hanged Man Alger and continued to play his house game on the uninhabited island.

His acting went from awkward to skilled, from rough to refined. Interpreting the daily lives of so many people obviously requires practice. Alice had a certain interest in this matter at the beginning. She pointed out many mistakes and omissions. The calculation ability of the "Destiny" path seemed to be unique in this matter. She helped Klein improve part of the script.

But Alice soon lost interest in the game. She abandoned Klein once again and went somewhere unknown. She told Klein that she was sleeping, but Klein suspected that only her body was sleeping and her mind was nowhere to be found.

In reality, Alice was stalking Verdu Abraham.

Don't get me wrong, she had no intention of helping Klein. After all, the official surveillance or tailing was with "The Hanged Man" Alger. Alice was actually just curious about how Abraham, who was not even a demigod, would complete the task of hunting down three demigods.

And they are three demigods who are very difficult to kill.

She didn't watch for long, because she soon discovered that this gentleman seemed to be just studying mysticism. It was obviously unrealistic to hope to gain a little hope from mysticism. Alice thought that Abraham might as well pray to her and hope that she would grant him a "0" level seal.

Alice withdrew her gaze after marking Verdu, but did not continue to look at the situation in Klein Town. Instead, she focused on her new holy book and new honorific name.

——She hasn’t forgotten about the “Goddess of Light”. (End of this chapter)
