Chapter 273 Chapter 147 People and Objects

  Amyrius finally realized the source of Alice's sense of disharmony.

  He was just imitating human behavior patterns, learning these etiquette and customs, and he himself had no feelings about it.

  Or, to put it more appropriately, he was learning how to be a "human". From

  this point of view, he really looked like a "0" level sealed object that had lost control. As for the reason for losing control, it was also very simple. He became a human...

  However, if he was the high-level existence that had affected the "fate" path in the past, that means... he had "lost control" once? But was he sealed that time?

  Regardless of what he thought in his heart, Amyrius's expression did not fluctuate much. He just nodded and said:

  "I will consider your suggestion."

  Alice instantly forgot to worry about whether it was in accordance with etiquette and regulations, and waved happily and said:

  "Thank you~"

  You... In order to prevent his expression from getting out of control, Amyrius nodded and quickened his pace to leave here.

  Alice immediately pushed the door open to see what Klein looked like now.

  Neatly combed black hair, deep blue eyes, slightly drooping mouth corners, beardless face, old-fashioned and serious temperament, dark blue clothes with ribbons, medals and epaulettes...

  Good, what a great Admiral Amyrius! Alice

  looked at Klein in surprise. Ten seconds later, she gave her own comment in Klein's expectant eyes:

  "If there is an entertainment industry in this era, you will definitely become an actor!"

  In Klein's dull eyes, Alice approached him, circled around him, looked left and right, then pulled Klein's sleeve and asked:

  "So, did you just check whether your figures are the same?"

  Klein imagined the scene of him and Amyrius facing each other honestly and comparing each other's figures to see if they were the same, and shuddered in fear.

  During this time, Alice looked him up and down, left and right, and asked the next question:

  "By the way, if Amyrius didn't restrict you and Cynthia from having sex, if something really happened between you, would Cynthia recognize you? I don't mean by your body shape, I mean..."

  Klein couldn't bear it anymore and reached out to cover Alice's mouth.

  Alice didn't try to struggle, but she stared at Klein, waiting for him to give an explanation.

  Klein looked at her helplessly, retracted his hand and asked:

  "First of all, Admiral Amyrius and I didn't take off our clothes to confirm whether my changed body shape was consistent with his. Don't you think that scene is too strange?"

  Alice shook her head and said, "But you are a substitute he paid for. Don't you need to carefully inspect the goods..."

  Alice's usual weird words made Klein's mouth twitch, and he had to remind her: "I'm not a commodity, I'm a person, Alice."

  Alice looked at him in confusion.

  After staring at her for a few seconds, Klein slowly darkened his expression and asked in a serious tone:

  "Alice, you know that people and objects are different, right?"

  Alice glanced at him cautiously, and took a half step back, thinking she was concealed, posing as if she was ready to escape, and said cautiously:

  "I, I know now..."

  What a good now I know.

  Klein took a deep breath and reminded himself not to get angry, because the child was young and ignorant, but at the same time he asked Alice in confusion and hesitation:

  "How old were you when you traveled through time? I feel that the high school students in my impression are a bit different from you..."

  Alice opened her mouth and said softly:

  "I, I'm not sure...

  " "Maybe... maybe..."   

  "Maybe all my subsequent memories are false. I, I don't seem to be just an adult. I'm probably, maybe only a few years old..."

  Oh no, now I'm really taking care of a child.

  Klein looked at Alice for a long time without saying anything. If Shen Yinghuan, who was in her teens, could barely be considered a younger sister, then "Huanhuan", who was in the single digits in age, was really a generation difference.

  ...So did your "fate" path allow a child with a single digit age to become a god? !

  Klein looked at Alice and suddenly felt a strong sense of absurdity. He sighed, pinched his brows and said to her:

  "Alice, people and objects are different. You can't treat people the same way you treat objects. Do you understand?"

  Alice nodded hesitantly.

  ...This is pretending to know!

  The corner of Klein's mouth twitched, and he remembered the teacher asking "Do you understand?" in class, and everyone nodded. He continued to explain helplessly:

  "To give the simplest example, you can do whatever you want to an object without considering what it thinks, just like when Admiral Amyrius and I exchanged clothes, we didn't need to ask the clothes if they agreed.

  "But you can't do this to people. It's okay to do it to enemies and strangers, but it's not realistic to have such high demands on you... At least for people you are familiar with, you should consider their thoughts, right?

  "It's as if… it's as if you wouldn't decide anything for me without my consent, right?"

  Alice was speechless. She remembered her words about giving Sefirah Castle to Amon. After a moment's silence, she tentatively asked:

  "If I did that…"

  "I'd be very angry," Klein looked at her seriously, "An apology might not be helpful."

  Alice bit her lip, lowered her head, and her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible:

  "I, I know, I'll tell you when the time comes…"

  Klein looked at Alice in astonishment, and asked hesitantly, "What is it?"

  Alice stared at him, and suddenly fell silent for a moment before she murmured:

  "No, this is clearly a paradox…

  "If you don't become an angel, I can't tell you, but if you become an angel, you'll risk losing your humanity…

  "In fact, it's best not to even be promoted to a demigod… but, but…"

  Alice bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and asked softly:

  "If you knew that the world was about to face an apocalypse, and that the savior would appear between you and Amon...what would you do?"

  This was not the whole truth, but it seemed that this was all that Klein needed to decide for now - after all, Mr. Men was not among the candidates so far.

  "...Amon? Savior?" Klein repeated these two words incomprehensibly, "Are you sure you didn't say the wrong person?"

  Alice was silent for a moment, avoiding his sight, turned her head to look at the window and asked, "What if, suppose it was you and Amon..."

  Klein shook his head and said to Alice,

  "If there really is an apocalypse, I will try to do something, but I can't answer your question about the savior.

  "It's too far away from me." (End of this chapter)

Chapter 274 Chapter 148 Your pants fell off

  Alice paused for a moment. She suddenly realized that Klein didn't even have Sequence 5 yet. Her eyes wandered for a moment, and she quickly began to pass the buck:

  "You asked first!"

  "...Stay still," Klein nodded reluctantly, "Next, don't show up in front of others casually... Is that okay?"

  Alice nodded solemnly.

  The credibility Alice showed was not enough for Klein to trust her, but her solemn attitude at least gave Klein some comfort - at least now she really took this matter to heart.

  After being silent for more than ten seconds, Alice decided to do something to make up for her mistake:

  "Um, do you want a talisman for the 'Destiny' path?"

  Klein was stunned for a moment, while Alice said while thinking in her mind:

  "If you can use a talisman at the Sequence 1 level, I can make a few for you... but you can only use it yourself! Gifts cannot be given to others casually!"

  "Okay," Klein nodded with a smile, but thinking of Alice's previous strange request, he did not completely agree, "I know, I will find you when I need it."

  Although he said this, Klein silently swore in his heart that he would never take a talisman from Alice unless it was necessary - who knows when she would suddenly make a strange request!

  Alice looked at Klein's expression and said thoughtfully: "So what you mean by this sentence can be understood as... next time for sure?"

  ... Really.

  Klein was choked and began to struggle with whether he should admit it, but Alice stared at Klein, looked at him with a look that made his bones shudder, and then disappeared from the spot.

  After hesitating for a moment, Klein touched the "Ninth Law" spell in his pocket, readjusted his height and appearance details, and then left through another door in the utility room.

  Klein walked along the quiet corridor towards the main building of the Governor's Mansion. Occasionally, waiters and maids passed by on the road. As soon as they saw the admiral's uniform, they retreated to the sides and bowed their heads.

  Alice looked at the waiters and maids who bowed their heads thoughtfully. On the silent road, a light "click" sound came.

  ——The admiral's belt loosened.

  The good news is that the pants have not fallen to the ground yet, but are hanging precariously on his waist. The vague feeling made Klein fully understand the meaning of Alice's last look.

  ... Psychopath!

  Klein felt his shaky pants with trepidation.

  On the one hand, he felt that Alice would not let things end so cleanly, which was not in line with her character.

  On the other hand, he thought Alice might suddenly change her mind and let her pants fall down...

  Fortunately, no one noticed his abnormality yet. He kept his eyes straight, maintained a serious attitude, and walked slowly towards the aisle paved with black stone bricks.

  He knew without thinking that Alice must be looking at him with an amazed look... and might even want to applaud.

  Melodious and beautiful music came from the banquet hall, but Klein was not in the mood to appreciate it. He didn't show it on his face, but he couldn't wait to find a lounge.

  When he approached a lounge, the door suddenly opened and a middle-aged man walked out.

  This man had black hair and blue eyes, and his facial features were about 50% similar to Amyrius, but his forehead was high, his eye bags were slightly swollen, and the corners of his mouth had not drooped yet.

  Klein immediately realized that he was Amyrius Levitt's younger brother, Auston Levitt.

  He seemed to have been waiting for a long time. After confirming that there was no one around, he asked Klein: "How do you think about that matter..."   

  He didn't finish his question because something happened that neither of them wanted to see.

  Klein pulled up his pants quickly but expressionlessly, and quickly buckled his belt. The whole process took no more than five seconds.

  After completing this series of actions, he asked in a voice without any emotion: "What did you just say?"

  Auston's eyes fell slightly downward, and after a few seconds of pausing,

  he said: "No, nothing." After that, he left without waiting for Klein to answer.

  Klein looked at Auston's back, gritted his teeth, and suddenly had a desire to pick Alice out and beat her up.

  He walked to the dining table indifferently, took a lingering look at the roast chicken, Backlund-style roast goose and other foods, and took some steak, fried dragon bone fish, and Oravi lobster stir-fried with cream cheese. Admiral

  Amyrius likes fish, beef and lobster... Klein muttered this to himself, while looking away, carrying the plate away from the long table.

  He took a piece of steak into his mouth while no one was paying attention, and was surprised to find that it was still hot.

  This is really... Just as Klein was moved, a small portion of Backlund-style roast goose and a glass of grape juice suddenly appeared on his plate.

  He looked up in astonishment, and soon realized that he couldn't find Alice even if he did this. After thinking for a few seconds, he quickly finished the roast goose and sipped the grape juice with satisfaction.

  Klein happily decided not to bother with Alice about what happened just now.

  Although this was not enough to fill his stomach, Klein was no longer hungry. He held the plate and talked to all kinds of people while maintaining the image of Admiral Amyrius, while eating something without damaging his image.

  During this time, Klein noticed that a young man in a swallowtail suit was always following him not far away.

  The other party had neatly combed blond hair, a slightly high hairline, double blue eyes, a handsome face, and a gentle manner.

  Consistent with the photo, Amyrius's secretary Lu Er'an... Klein controlled himself and didn't look at the other party to prevent being discovered.

  After leaving the Governor's Mansion, Klein got on the carriage protected by the general's guards and sat to the side of the wine cabinet.

  The blond secretary Lu Er'an followed him in, his leather boots stepping on the thick and soft carpet, and he moved silently to the opposite side of Klein.

  He was about to sit down with his back to the seat. This should have been an extremely skilled action - only one-third of his buttocks were in place, which not only showed respect to his superiors, but also allowed him to stand up quickly.

  This is the standard secretary sitting posture, but today, Lu Er'an accidentally sat on empty space and fell on the ground.

  There was a carpet on the ground, so even an ordinary person would not get hurt if he fell.

  But the point of this matter is obviously not here. Klein secretly gritted his teeth again at Alice, who was hiding somewhere. On

  the bright side, at least it was not me who fell because of sitting on empty space... Klein used the extraordinary ability of the "Joker" to control his expression, looking at Lu Er'an on the ground without changing his expression, and said nothing. (End of this chapter)

Chapter 275 Chapter 149 You're in Big Trouble

  Luan stood up awkwardly and bowed to apologize: "General, I'm sorry, I..."

  His expression was uneasy and his tone was uncertain. It can be seen that he was worried about losing his job because of this.

  This mistake was not Luan's. Klein understood it. He suppressed the desire to question Alice and said in a voice without emotion:

  "Continue reporting."

  This made Luan feel relieved, but he did not try to sit down again. Instead, he bent over in a bowing posture and took out a stack of documents from the black briefcase he was carrying:

  "Your Excellency Admiral, this is the summary account submitted by the Oravi Naval Base in 1349."

  Klein reached out to take it, flipped through a few pages casually, and browsed through it.

  A roll of toilet paper costs 1 pound. The bathhouse at the naval base was renovated twenty times in a year... Alice secretly took a peek at the bill. Without much thinking, the extraordinary ability of the "machine" calculated some outrageous data.

  Admiral Amyrius's men are really... strict and orderly.

  Alice looked away with a complicated expression, feeling that her cognition had been refreshed, but she remembered Klein's warning and did not show up to scare Luan.

  As for what happened just now... what does that have to do with her? Luan was unlucky!

  Alice nodded without any guilt, and then watched Klein flip through the documents and said expressionlessly:

  "Put it on my desk."

  Alice blinked twice. She thought Klein's reaction of not expressing his opinion was very good. After all, the big figures in her impression seemed to be like this - just like the goddess who was unwilling to say anything at the beginning.

  Alice decided to learn from this.

  "Yes, Admiral." Luan's expression did not change. He stuffed the documents back into his briefcase as expected and straightened his body.

  There was nothing more to report. Luan turned around to confirm the position of the seat before sitting down.

  Klein quietly used the extraordinary ability of "Joker" to control his facial muscles, leaned back against the carriage, half-closed his eyes, and pretended to be thinking about the problem.

  Luan also remained silent and did not take the initiative to speak.

  Alice secretly looked at the two of them, hesitated for a moment, and finally gave up the idea of ​​letting Klein fall asleep like this.

  Or, let's just play a trick on someone else... Alice secretly glanced at Klein, nodded, and looked at Lueran silently.

  Although he didn't find anything, Lueran still moved his body uneasily twice, looked around, and then began to stare at the direction of the door, his expression gradually becoming anxious.

  One by one, the iron-black gas street lamps as tall as a person swept back quickly. The carriage drove to the vicinity of the naval base and turned into a house with a garden and lawn.

  Klein got off the carriage and walked up the steps. Lueran finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt his mood become stable.

  The butler opened the door, and the servants stood respectfully on both sides.

  The living room of this house is decorated very elegantly, with landscape oil paintings hanging on the wall, plaster statues, simple vases and other things placed on the wall. A light but lingering fragrance lingered in the air, refreshing the heart.

  A beautiful lady in a home dress came over. Klein tensed instantly, but Alice's eyes lit up in the dark. This was obviously the legendary Miss Cynthia.

  She was probably in her early twenties, with the same blonde hair and blue eyes as Alice, but her hair was not as bright as Alice's, the color was softer, and her eyes were darker and more complex.   

  She was between the charm of a mature woman and the immaturity of a young girl. As she walked slowly, her swaying figure made Alice suddenly want to record her with a brush.

  She should be the protagonist of a painting... Such a thought flashed through Alice's mind, and she looked at Cynthia again.

  Cynthia had both the softness of a woman and the youthfulness of a girl. In a trance, Alice felt as if she saw a swaying tree.

  There were beautiful flowers on the tree, some of which had bloomed, some were about to bloom, and there were layers of tumors, some of which had cracked and turned into flowers, and some were still in their original state.

  ... Tumors?

  Alice withdrew her gaze from Cynthia in horror and controlled herself to look down at the floor.

  Of course, she would not be contaminated by this glance, but Alice suddenly remembered the reason why she was standing here now - that incomplete revelation.

  She clearly remembered the sense of crisis that the dream brought her, so she deeply understood one thing - the person behind her, she couldn't afford to offend him.

  Klein didn't know what Alice had discovered. He hoped that Alice wouldn't do anything strange, and at the same time, he let a smile appear on Amyrius' serious face, and then opened his arms.

  Cynthia threw herself into his arms, stood on tiptoe, and whispered with her cheek touching hers:

  "General, I've boiled hot water for you and put it in the bathtub."

  Alice couldn't help but look up at the two of them again. At that moment, a picture appeared in front of her again.

  It was a tall, white body with tumors and flowers, with brown "branches" sticking out of it. The tumors were still breaking apart and forming flowers.

  Klein was in front of the body. By comparing the height difference between the two, Alice was sure that the owner of this body was three meters tall.

  A head turned over at the top of the body. It was a female face with long golden hair and blue eyes, a high nose bridge and plump lips. It was obvious that this was Cynthia.

  The "branches" were still waving, and the "flowers" were opening and closing, but Alice was not in the mood to pay attention to these. She looked at Cynthia's shy expression, and looked down at Klein with a blushing face and said:

  "General, I think, I want to have a child with you..."

  Alice was enveloped by a feeling of half fear and half joy. She realized that this was probably the scene she wanted to draw, but it was also caused by the owner of the dangerous dream.

  The danger was so close to her.

  Alice gritted her teeth and turned her attention back to the current scene. Looking at Klein who was leaning against Cynthia's cheek, she did not mean to tease him at all.

  "Very good." Klein praised and pushed Cynthia away, which made Alice feel relieved.

  Perhaps she should thank Amyrius for the contract... although it was probably useless in that scene.

  Following Klein into the bathroom, after confirming that Cynthia had left, Alice locked the door without hesitation and set up a spiritual barrier.

  After doing all this, he looked at Klein, took a deep breath, closed his eyes twice, calmed his expression, and said in a voice without any emotion:

  "Congratulations, you have a big one.

  "There is an evil god who wants to give birth to a child for you." (End of this chapter)

Chapter 276 Chapter 150 Mr. Fool, I think

  When this topic was mentioned, Klein's first reaction was Amon.

  He soon realized that this was impossible. Not to mention whether Amon would suddenly have such an idea one day, if the evil god here was Amon, Alice's attitude would not be so serious.

  She would definitely laugh at him fiercely.

  If it wasn't Amon, who would it be?

  Klein just thought for a moment and remembered the reason why he called Alice here.

  The authority of the gods in the revelation is suspected to be related to fertility and reproduction? No, I'm afraid it's not appropriate. I'm afraid the correct interpretation should be that the god wants to give him a child...

  No, why would Alice say such a thing?

  Klein looked at Alice sharply. Alice easily read the problem from his eyes and explained:

  "There is something wrong with Cynthia.

  "Ha, if you have your own church, the scene I saw in the prophecy must be very suitable as a religious painting...

  "When you first came to the world, you already showed your charm. The unknown god noticed the great power contained in your body and specially descended to incarnate, eager to build a new life with you...

  "No, Cynthia is not qualified to be an incarnation. At most, she is a follower of an evil god. An incarnation must be..."

  Alice suddenly stopped talking. She remembered her joke before - "a true god walking on the earth".

  Ah, so, she is not a kind of incarnation of God...

  This logic is very smooth. Alice thought along this silky logic and came to the reasonable conclusion that Cynthia's lines should be spoken by her. Note ①

  She adjusted her expression, her eyelids drooped, half bit her lips, a subtle arc appeared at the corner of her mouth, and a blush spread on her cheeks.

  Then, she lowered her head, fluttered her eyelashes, and looked at Klein with her eyes half-raised. Her voice was soft and shy:

  "Mr. Fool, I think, I want to have a child with you..."

  - Thanks to the extraordinary ability of the "machine", it was not difficult for Alice to imitate Cynthia's expression and tone.

  In this regard, Klein only had one thing to say: "Are you sick! "

  It can be seen that he did not take Alice's words seriously at all. His voice was full of fear and doubt, and he looked at her as if he was looking at a mental patient, or a patient with an infectious disease.

  This made Alice very sad - at least that's what it looked like on the surface. She lowered her eyes, tears accumulated in her eye sockets, and she looked distraught.

  Klein didn't take it seriously at all. After staring at Alice in silence for two seconds, he said with mixed feelings: "Your acting skills are getting better and better."

  "What's the use? I still can't fool you, Mr. Fool." Alice put away her fake tears, sighed hypocritically, and sighed in a conscientious manner.

  Klein looked at her in silence and decided not to pay attention to her until she started talking properly.

  Alice curled her lips, put away the extra expressions, and reminded: "Stay away from Cynthia. "

  You can't make it too obvious..." Klein stretched out his hand and pinched his brow, walked to the bathtub, paused, and turned back to look at Alice, who had no intention of leaving.

  After they stared at each other for more than ten seconds, Alice used her puzzling logic to come to a conclusion: "Are you going to invite me to take a bath with you?"

  Klein opened his mouth in surprise and murmured: "I think, given the relationship between the two of us, I shouldn't make such an invitation anyway..."

  "I think so," Alice nodded, "So I want to confirm it again."

  Should I still praise you for this?   

  Klein stared at Alice with wide eyes. Alice looked back at him in confusion. After they stared at each other for more than ten seconds, Klein was the first to look away and said in a cold voice:

  "Get out."

  Alice glanced at the ground and the closed door, and hesitantly confirmed: "This... If you want to get out, you can't get out, right?"

  Klein's serious expression just collapsed. He looked at Alice helplessly and sighed:

  "I'm not... Forget it, no matter what, you get out first!"

  Alice disappeared obediently.

  Klein controlled himself not to think about the possibility that Alice actually had no chance of leaving. He pretended that there was nothing here, took off his clothes, and immersed himself in hot water.

  In fact, Alice did leave the bathroom.

  Alice was spying on Cynthia.

  At that time, Cynthia had changed into a pure silk nightgown. Alice's spirituality discovered a strange necklace between the collar of the nightgown before her eyes.

  As for Alice's eyes... She stared at the wide-open collar of Cynthia's nightgown, swallowed hard, and looked away.

  It's so beautiful, look at it for a while... No, Alice, you have something important to do, stop looking!

  ——Her eyes betrayed her not long ago, and she was admiring the beauty.

  Everyone loves beauty, but this occasion is not appropriate... Alice gritted her teeth and decisively used her extraordinary ability to remove the extra emotions.

  This time, she successfully moved her eyes away and carefully observed the strange necklace.

  The necklace looked like a black rhino horn that was reduced to the length of a finger joint. Cynthia took off the necklace and stuffed it under the pillow.

  Alice looked at Cynthia's back and hesitated for two seconds, then walked forward and took out the necklace.

  ——The spirit told her that there was no danger in doing so, and she was confident that Cynthia would not find out about it.

  Then, if she used this necklace as a medium to peek into Cynthia's fate...

  The spirit jumped slightly, bringing feedback of the same level as before - a little more danger, but not much.

  So, on the scale of measurement, the side of exploration won, and Alice's spirit spread to the necklace.

  Pictures flashed quickly, like a fast-forwarded movie. When it reached a certain position, Alice slowed down the playback speed.

  She saw Cynthia scrape some powder from it with a metal sheet and sprinkle it into a white glazed porcelain teacup filled with hot water.

  Was it because of eating this... Alice pursed her lips and continued to search forward. The pictures flashed quickly, and one of them caught Alice's attention again.

  Cynthia in the picture stood in the bedroom, holding the necklace in her palm, praying devoutly:

  "Great Mother Tree of Desire, please make me more attractive, let Admiral Amyrius be more obsessed with me, let him experience the ultimate happiness from me, and give me a child..."

  "Mother Tree of Desire..." Alice withdrew from those pictures and looked at the necklace in her hand thoughtfully, "This name sounds like the focus is not on fertility, but on desire..."

  She frowned, recalling Cynthia's prayer, and realized that in this matter, lust may play a core role. (End of this chapter)

Chapter 277 Chapter 151 Who will be reborn?

  Alice thoughtfully put the necklace back and restored everything to the way it was before she started, trying to replicate every wrinkle and every hair.

  After doing all this, Alice stared at the closed door of the room for a moment, and was about to go to the bathroom, but suddenly felt that something was wrong.

  Klein...are you done washing?

  After two seconds of stagnation, Alice appeared at the door of the bathroom.

  ...It's better not to go in.

  By the way...where's Cynthia?

  Alice blinked, looked at the empty corridor, hesitated for a moment, and stayed where she was.

  In fact, I think I can leave now...After all, under the contract, Klein can't really be with Cynthia...Uh, wait a minute.

  Alice lazily leaned against the wall and thought about it, and suddenly, she jumped up.

  If I remember correctly, Cynthia said... "I want to have a child with you", right?

  There is nothing wrong with this under normal circumstances, but considering that the other party is an evil god, Alice has to start thinking about who will give birth.

  Exciting.

  As she marveled at this, Klein, wearing a bathrobe with steam in his hair, came out.

  Alice looked at the tight straps on the outside of the bathrobe and fell into deep thought.

  She looked for a long time, but found that Klein had been standing there motionless. After thinking seriously for several seconds, Alice finally realized that he didn't know the way here.

  Alice's eyes wandered for a moment, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was not her problem. She was considering whether she should show Klein the way.

  At this moment, the door of the room across the street creaked open, and Cynthia, who was only wearing a silk nightgown, came out.

  Her blonde hair hung down slightly in a mess, and even a few strands of it floated in front of her blue eyes and bright red lips, making her eyes half-hidden and her lips half-open, which made her look extremely attractive in the dim and ambiguous environment. The

  collar of the silk nightgown was open very wide, and Alice's eyes were attracted to it. After more than ten seconds, she suddenly turned to Klein, who was said to be unable to respond, with some curiosity.

  Klein was looking Cynthia up and down with a "playful" look. Alice looked at the specially tightened belt on the bath towel and gritted her teeth.

  Looking at Cynthia who became more and more shy under Klein's gaze, Alice realized that if the performance was not taken into account, at least until now, Cynthia was still a person.

  But none of them cared about this, especially Klein. Although he had not yet realized the thought-provoking question of "who will give birth to the child", he did not intend to have a child with Cynthia. He responded calmly:

  "Prepare coffee for me and put it in the study.

  "I have a lot of things to deal with tonight, you don't have to wait for me. "

  This is too unromantic, Mr. Fool..." Alice suddenly felt like laughing. She shook her head and sighed in her heart.

  ——Klein now looked like those boys who would invite girls to a hotel to play games all night.

  Cynthia really looked up in confusion, unable to understand this response.

  This was obviously not enough to deal with Cynthia. Klein also understood this, but when he thought of Alice's previous appearance, Klein had a heartfelt aversion to contacting Cynthia.

  Klein did not touch Cynthia, but showed a soothing smile and said softly:

  "I will accompany you well in the next few days."   

  Perhaps it would be more effective if he went up to hug her and kiss her, but...

  Klein cursed Alice in his heart - he felt that even if he hadn't signed the contract, he would not be interested in similar things in the short term.

  Cynthia's face showed obvious disappointment, but she would not go against the wishes of "Amyrius". She quickly restrained her emotions and said with a smile:

  "Okay.

  "General, your pajamas are in the room, and the bathrobe is not suitable for handling things."

  She smiled so reluctantly... Alice glanced at Cynthia, remembered the last scene in the revelation, and suddenly chuckled, whispering in a place where no one could hear:

  "It doesn't matter, from now on you don't need to smile at others against your will. "

  ——If you're dead, doesn't that mean you don't have to smile against your will anymore?"

  Alice curled her lips and watched Klein walk into the bedroom, then come out in a dark red pajamas.

  Ah, why not bright red... Alice looked away in disappointment.

  Cynthia diligently opened the door to the study, which made Alice very sad - after the bedroom, she couldn't see the scene of Klein not finding the study.

  Alice sighed, ignored Cynthia's attentiveness, and slipped behind Klein to browse the documents and materials while he turned the pages.

  So, after Klein turned the page, Alice looked at Klein, who seemed very professional, and fell into deep thought.

  ...Can he understand it?

  Ironclad ships, sailing battleships...the messy data and design concepts of the ships slid through Alice's smooth brain without leaving any trace.

  Watching Klein carefully browse through it and imitate the admiral's handwriting to sign...huh?

  Alice saw Klein write the words "study it further" on some documents, and realized that he was just pretending.

  Watching Klein pretending to correct the documents, Alice pondered for a few seconds, then stole a chair from another room, brought the chair with her and appeared next to Klein quietly.

  She half turned her body to look at Klein, and shouted with a smile in her eyes:

  "Mr. Fool, I think..."

  "Shut up. "Klein said expressionlessly, and at the same time, the pen in his hand was broken.

  Alice stared at the pen in silence for two seconds, and then the two broken halves were pieced together again to become a complete pen.

  Klein was finally willing to turn around for the repaired pen and look at Alice.

  Alice looked at his expression and shrank her neck, raised her right hand and made a not-so-standard oath gesture, and then said:

  "I won't talk nonsense today, I promise."

  Klein glanced at him with emotionless eyes and continued to review the documents.

  Alice stared at him for several minutes, but he didn't look up. She gritted her teeth and decided to drop a bombshell:

  "The original words I said at the time were Cynthia's!

  "I want to have a child with you... Tsk tsk, tell me, is this child yours or Cynthia's?"

  Klein turned his head almost in horror, and he suddenly remembered Alice's joke in front of Bilt:

  "Maybe one day in the future I can call you father... or mother?"

  - You know, although this is a joke, it's Miss Destiny who is speaking. (End of this chapter)

Chapter 278 Chapter 152 Both Ends of the Scale

  "Alice," Klein called her weakly, "No matter who gave birth to the baby, I don't want this to happen, do you understand?"

  Alice looked away in disappointment, then thought for a moment and leaned over to ask, "Have you heard of the Mother Tree of Desire?"

  "The Mother Tree of Desire?" Klein shook his head. This was not within the scope of his knowledge of mysticism.

  "Even you don't know..." Alice touched her chin, "Cynthia has a necklace. She used that necklace to pray to the Mother Tree of Desire... Well, she also ground it into powder and ate it."

  Klein frowned and began to think.

  After staring at him for two seconds, Alice put on the same expression as him, and then said:

  "That necklace looks like a black rhino horn, but it's very small... Hey, is there any medical basis for this thing?

  "For example, grinding rhino horn into powder and eating it can enhance sexual performance..."

  "...Are you sick?" Klein cursed angrily.

  "So it's okay? "Alice couldn't forget the question just now.

  After a few seconds of silence, Klein had to answer Alice's question first:

  "I haven't heard of this saying, and I don't know.

  "So why do you ask that?"

  Alice said "Oh" and said: "Because Cynthia's prayer to the Mother Tree of Desire can make her more attractive..."

  Klein was silent for more than ten seconds before saying: "Then you should ask if rhino horns can beautify and nourish the skin?"

  Alice touched her chin, nodded seriously and said: "It seems to make sense... so is it okay?"

  "...I don't know," Klein leaned weakly on the back of the chair, "What else did you see?"

  "No more for the time being," Alice shook her head, "I put the necklace back. If you want to see it, I'm afraid you can only wait until Cynthia gets into trouble..."

  "Wait a minute," Klein suddenly became alert, "What happened?"

  Alice stared at him for a few seconds, lowered her head slightly, revealing the shy expression before, and was interrupted by Klein before she could speak:

  "Enough!

  "You don't need to do it again! "

  Alice began to look at him with the disappointed expression she had just learned.

  After Klein stared at Alice in silence for a few seconds, he suddenly remembered the scene when she was curious about the "Red Theater".

  Fortunately, fortunately she didn't really plan to go in and take a look... Klein sighed, feeling a kind of relief from the bottom of his heart.

  - He has realized that Alice is very good at imitating other people's expressions and movements.

  He pinched his eyebrows, glanced at Alice, and suddenly another idea came to his mind:

  "Alice, I'll show you something interesting, can you do me a favor, okay?"

  "What? "Alice tilted her head in confusion.

  Klein smiled, half-closed his eyes, raised his right hand, pressed down on both eyes, and pulled them down suddenly, moving them to both sides of the middle of the nose.

  Then, Klein opened two slits where the eyes were originally, and used flesh and blood to disguise a pair of fake eyes.

  Alice opened her mouth in surprise and subconsciously raised her hand to applaud, but Klein, who had expected it, held her hand down.

  "I'll sleep for a while. If there's anything unusual, wake me up, okay?" Klein asked, looking at her with all four eyes.

  Alice silently turned her eyes away from his face and nodded.

  Although the performance was indeed wonderful, this appearance was still a bit lacking in viewing appeal...   

  Alice sighed, watching Klein fall asleep with his real eye locked and his fake eye open, "looking" at the documents.

  After thinking for a few seconds, Alice blinked slightly, and a faint pattern of gears of different sizes interlocking flashed in her eyes, and then her eyes became confused.

  ... Why is the probability of him falling so low? !

  Alice looked at this scene in amazement, and felt that her understanding of the "clown" had deepened.

  Looking at Klein who was keeping his balance and sleeping with his eyes "open", Alice hesitated for a moment, and finally did not try to make him fall.

  He, he was trying hard...

  With a sigh in her heart, Alice carefully suppressed the desire to give Klein a lot of good luck and make up for it after it was used up.

  "The two ends of the scale don't have to be equal, but there must be something on both sides..." Alice muttered softly and retracted her gaze.

  This is not a requirement written in uniqueness, but it has always been Alice's principle.

  "Speaking of which... why do I insist on this?" Alice blinked in confusion, and suddenly realized that she didn't remember when she started to stick to this principle.

  It was probably also from her lost memory. Alice shook her head and gave up the search. She held her chin and began to watch Mr. Fool sleep.

  She soon regretted agreeing to Klein's request - because it was really boring!

  ...

  After sighing for the umpteenth time, Alice finally encountered something interesting.

  Her eyes fell on Klein, and a bad smile rose at the corner of her lips - someone invaded Klein's dream.

  Obviously, although the realm involving the mind and dreams is not the main authority of the "Destiny" path, "Destiny" is not without control in this regard. At least

  she wanted to go to Klein's dream to take a look. Note ①

  ...

  After an unknown period of time, Klein suddenly woke up from his dream and felt that there was a force trying to pull him into a deep sleep and invade him.

  Who? I haven't recently... No, could it be Cynthia... No, the "Mother Tree of Desire" has chased him into the dream? !

  Klein's heart was trembling, but he still changed his appearance quickly out of professionalism, maintaining the appearance of Admiral Amyrius.

  I am really dedicated... He sighed in his heart, and at the same time tried a little, and immediately found that he did not have the ability to break free from the dream.

  Why is this? This is not a nightmare... While thinking, the blurry white mist in front of his eyes filled up and condensed into an unclear figure.

  Klein narrowed his eyes slightly, and before he could react, the figure suddenly shook, as if struggling desperately.

  ...

  He can seize the initiative, but he can't hide it from the other side at all, and if he wants to run, he should still be able to run...

  After observing the future scene for a while, Alice touched her chin, rolled her eyes, and sneaked into Klein's dream.

  After she took away the control, the demigod who was hiding himself was indeed extremely shy, afraid to see people, and hurriedly wanted to escape.

  "You can't run away." Alice said calmly.

  This is a "prophecy."

  As the protagonist of the "prophecy", the demigod on the other side does not need to believe it completely. As long as he is shaken to some extent, escape will become almost impossible. (End of this chapter)
