Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 473 Are You Also a Girl King?

This is a very reasonable result, but it will surprise Alice.

The reason is that the escape mechanism of this game is not determined by random numbers, but by the level difference between the two parties. The greater the level difference, the lower the possibility of successful escape. Alice is currently at level 36, while Fei Er, as a high-profile behind-the-scenes boss of the Witch Society, has a question mark level. With such a huge gap, it is natural that she will fail to escape.

So why is Alice surprised?
The reason has been mentioned before. She has always believed that she is a lucky girl. Even if the probability is low, the god of luck will favor her. But the final result can only prove that luck is not an attribute that can be determined by feeling, or in other words, she wasted her luck on other things, so that it failed at the most critical moment.

"This is unscientific."

The genius player muttered to himself, "I'm a pure-blooded European who can kill monsters and get godly equipment and critical hits with basic attacks. How could I fail? Could it be that someone is too unlucky and got me into trouble?"

She seemed to have found a solid, unshakable reason to explain her failure. Her eyes suddenly became sharp. She turned her head and scanned the faces of her teammates one by one. Her serious and scrutinizing attitude seemed as if she was trying to find out the war criminals hidden among the people and wash away her own shame.

But the probabilistic question ultimately comes down to just that one answer. Linger sighed silently, sincerely hoping that she would someday gain some self-awareness.

Alice's turn was over and it was the young man's turn. After the genius player's demonstration, he knew more or less what to do. Although he doubted whether such a childish method could help them escape from danger, but... after all, it was a magical game magic, so he still believed it.

His eyes slowly fixed on the last of the five options in front of him, but he did not press it immediately. Instead, he looked up and looked at Fei Er. There were shadows in the darkness, and the shadows of enemies were everywhere. There was also an unknown emptiness and oppressive fear. In this world occupied by chaos, nothingness is the end of everything and the destination of all things. The surging waves of pale whispers could swallow up the tiny lives in it at any time.

Ling Ge said: "I also have a question I want to ask you."

The witch who brought fear was looking at Lingge with a smile. Her kind and friendly eyes might make people feel like they had met an old friend whom they had not seen for a long time, but in fact, both sides were enemies.

"—"

"About me?" Fei'er tilted her head slightly, tapped her lips with her fingers, and showed a thoughtful look. Her gently fluttering golden ponytail was the only shining bright color in the dark world: "Do you want to ask me what type of person I like? Oh, this is quite embarrassing. In all these years, you are the first person to ask me this kind of question. In this case, let me answer you without any perfunctory answer. Let me think, first of all, he must be handsome, at least not uglier than me; secondly, he must be reliable, and will not hesitate to stand up to protect a weak woman like me when encountering danger; finally, I hope that he is cautious but also optimistic, serious but also humorous, considerate but also domineering, gentle but also wild..."

The sound stopped suddenly.

She talked about her own criteria for choosing a partner. Alice really wanted to complain, "You are writing a Mary Sue novel here." Linger ignored these strange words skillfully, just like he usually ignored Alice's nonsense, and asked word by word: "Are you the young king?"

"It has nothing to do with the Witch Society. It has to do with you."

If the power of the game console had not transformed the world into a realm of data and images, isolating the power of nothingness, Ling Ge and the others would have been drowned in it, unable to even groan for half a second. The sense of oppression brought by Fei Er really made them feel a trembling and terror from the soul, worthy of the name of the Witch of Fear.

"Okay." She was still so easy to talk to, and agreed readily: "You can ask whatever you want, and I will answer whatever you want. Of course, as I said before, if it involves the confidentiality of the association, I will not tell you."

The smile on Fei'er's face slowly disappeared. Alice opened her eyes wide in surprise and blurted out: "How is it possible? Ling Ge, are you crazy? No, wait, it seems possible?"

First of all, she is also a girl who has lived for an unknown number of years, which meets the prerequisite for the girl's royal power; secondly, the power of "Fear" she displayed is very unique, not like ordinary magic, but very close to Saint Shallia's "Fate", Olvera's "Mystery", Ieta's "Freedom" and even Leticia's "Eternity"; finally, her level in the "First Fantasy: Four Warriors" cartridge is displayed as a question mark, and Alice has only seen the same level of question marks in Saint Shallia and others.

"But, but——" Alice's tone was a little stuttering: "Isn't she a witch?" "What is a witch?" Ling Ge still stared at Fei Er, staring at the cold expression on her face: "Saint Xia Liya once said that the girl's royal power is the authority to maintain the balance of the world after the goddess created the world. Since it is a balance, there will not only be laws of light, justice, and order, but also laws of darkness, evil, and chaos. So, will the girl's royal power like the latter, who possesses the power of destruction and damage and is more powerful than the gods, be called... a witch by the world?"

From the perspective of mysticism, the origin of the extraordinary path is undoubtedly the young queen who controls the laws of the world. Since the fourteen paths can have the distinction between positive and negative, why can't the fourteen young queens have the division of order and chaos? Only in this way can we explain why Fei Er is so resistant to fighting with them. She didn't see the back of an old friend who had parted ways in Saint Xia Liya, but she didn't want to fight with her sisters at all.

"……I am angry."

Fei Er suddenly said, her expression had never been as gloomy as it was at this moment, and it was terrifying. The dark world seemed to be wailing and shrinking under the heavy burden. There was a wind blowing under the black water, bleak and desolate. The girl's golden ponytail fluttered in the wind. Each strand of hair was as soft as a thread, but it had lost its previous shining color, like a withered yellow butterfly in autumn, falling one after another.

"You guys are all very smart, but you only make me angry." Fei'er looked at Ling Ge expressionlessly: "You know that not everything in the world is worth speaking out, but you still want to speak out the answer that should have been hidden. Do you think you are great because you have revealed the truth? In fact, you are just a willful idiot, an arrogant fool, an extremely self-centered fool, a pretentious coward, a self-righteous fool, a willful idiot..."

Alice reminded her quietly, "It's repeated."

"I want you to take care of it!?"

Fei Er glared at her fiercely, and her unreasonable attitude frightened the genius player so much that he shrank his head and dared not say another word.

Lingge was not frightened by her, and replied with the same expressionless face: "I don't care why you hide the answer, and I don't care whether it is great to reveal the truth. I just think--"

He glanced at the blue-haired girl who was still keeping her head down and not saying a word, and said, "Some people just have to know the answer."

Otherwise, she would always be trapped by her confused fate and always be afraid of her future, which was not something she should bear.

"In that case, I will satisfy your wish."

Fei Er sneered: "Yes, I am the young queen."

She slowly stretched out her hand, spread her white palm upwards, and then suddenly clenched it. Her five fingers with distinct joints closed like a cage, as if she had grabbed some invisible thing, imprisoning the emotions and consciousness of life in her hands. Then, the dark and deep voice also spread throughout the empty and void world, echoing like a tidal wave:

"After my mother created the world, I am one of the fourteen young girls who took over the world's laws and maintained the balance of the universe. I was born from the dark side of chaos. I am the Lord of Nothingness who exists to control people's rationality and guide them towards the unknown. My name is—"

"The Kingship of Fear, Fei Er."

Terror, panic, fear.

Everything is an ignorant choice made by living beings.
