Chapter 205: Miss Monster

Chapter 205: Miss Monster

An unusual atmosphere spread throughout the Tarot Club. Except for Emlyn, who hadn't fully grasped the situation, everyone exchanged glances and stole looks at the silent Mr. "World."

Realizing the attention, Klein fell into deep thought.

It seems like the image of "World" in the Tarot Club is getting stranger and stranger... Klein mused while imagining the appearance of the mad adventurer, Gehrman Sparrow, taking care of a child.

...Isn't this a bit too damaging to his image?

While Klein was worrying about his non-existent image, Audrey curiously asked:

"Miss 'Destiny,' do you know what Medici's title is? Or which pathway He belongs to?"

How would I know? It can't possibly be the nanny pathway... Alice muttered to herself and turned to look at Klein.

Leaning back in his chair, Klein smiled and said, "Red Priest."

Red Priest... Everyone chewed on the term. Except for Alger, it was as if they were hearing a novel story.

The experienced "Hanged Man" Alger seriously pondered Mr. Fool's intention, firmly believing that Mr. Fool wanted him to report this matter to the Church of the Storms.

After the discussion about Medici, Emlyn presented his dilemma:

"Everyone, I have a question."

Klein took a deep breath and cautiously asked, "Do we have the same understanding of 'liking'?"

"I foresee that next week, everyone will have a new appearance."

"You can let your friend gradually show some abnormalities in daily life, so that the powerful figure notices something is wrong with your friend."

After everyone disappeared above the gray fog, Alice found herself left behind again.

Later, the grateful Emlyn provided Alger with anesthetic gas capable of making an entire ship's crew unconscious.

"The situation is like this: Suppose a powerful figure assigns you to investigate something. You successfully gather the information but, for some reason, can't report back to that figure. How can you continue to receive support from that figure?"

Emlyn humbly accepted the advice on behalf of his non-existent friend.

Alger then continued from where he left off:

Klein fell into deep thought.

The silence was taken as agreement by the others, and everyone looked at the experienced "Hanged Man" Alger, even Mr. Fool, under the cover of the gray fog, awaited Alger's response.

Alice pondered for two seconds before asking, "You... or rather, your friend encountered such a situation?"

"Thank you for your blessing." Audrey was the first to stand up, expressing both farewell and gratitude.

Alice recalled and nodded, "It should be different."

Emlyn opened his mouth, unsure if he should respond to this statement.

Seeing Alice's puzzled expression, Klein pondered for a moment before choosing a lighter topic for Alice: "Why did Amon come to you again?"

"He..." Alice lowered her head in thought, "He might really like that gift."

Emlyn hesitated for a moment, ultimately forced to admit he had a friend.

"He will have two choices: One is to directly interrogate your friend, but this can easily break the lead. The other is to inadvertently provide help to your friend, allowing them to delve deeper into the investigation, and then send someone to monitor your friend."

Alger's mouth twitched as he looked at Emlyn and said, "It's simple, but you, no, your friend will need to take some risks."

At the end of the exchange session, Klein tapped the surface of the mottled long table with his fingers and leisurely smiled:

"This meeting is adjourned."

Alice looked at him and asked in confusion, "So, what did you originally want to ask?"

Klein looked at Alice and carefully asked, "About the last time you woke up... how much do you remember?"

Alice was silent for a moment, then looked up at the sky and replied, "I seem to be a resurrected evil god."

Klein fell into deep thought.

Alice touched her chin and said:

"The main thing is... Will Auceptin seems quite afraid of me, and the Goddess seems to know the previous me... Uh, I don't know why, but She doesn't seem to want to deal with me."

Klein gently reminded, "I think anyone who knows you wouldn't want to deal with you..."

Alice was silent for a moment before seriously denying:

"No.

"Amon would only feel that meeting me was long overdue."

Klein took another deep breath, his expression horrified as he asked, "You shouldn't have known each other before, right?"

Alice was silent for a moment before saying:

"I think...

"If we had known each other before, the Goddess might not just want to ignore me...

"She might want to kill me... No, I might have been killed by Her."

Klein fell into deep thought.

Alice propped her chin and continued:

"However, I seem to know what you want to ask.

"Do you remember what my Sequence 9 is called?"

"Monster." Klein recalled this matter after a moment.

"Actually," Alice propped her chin and stated, "even if I directly swallowed the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 7, Sequence 9 and Sequence 8 still need to be digested."

Klein hesitated and nodded.

"But," Alice continued, "even though I was unconscious when I swallowed the characteristics, I didn't feel those two characteristics when I woke up..."

Klein was slightly stunned.

Alice sighed and continued:

"It wasn't until Sequence 5 that I discovered... I seemed to have an additional 'Lucky One' extraordinary characteristic to digest when I woke up.

"The Sequence 6 potion was instantly absorbed, so where did Sequence 9 and Sequence 8 go?

"I don't need to act as a 'Monster' or a 'Machine'... I already am one."

Klein opened his mouth, intending to comfort Alice, but her expression quickly became animated:

"Wow, do you know? That Amon, that damn Amon!

"He kept using this to provoke me after discovering it!

"He even called me 'Miss Monster!'"

Klein looked at Alice's angry yet lively expression and pondered before asking, "What else did Amon do?"

"He hit me!" Alice angrily slammed the table, "Twice!"

Klein looked at Alice and pondered before saying:

"I now believe Amon is a merciful god.

"After all, if Amon really wanted to, He could probably kill you with one hand, right? Surviving two hits, He is indeed merciful."

"You're wrong," Alice seriously denied, "It was two fingers... No, with the ground, one finger should be enough to crush me."

Klein was silent for a moment, then looked at Alice and smiled:

"You're right.

"Miss Monster."

Then, he cut off the connection under Alice's angry gaze.
