Chapter 111 Chapter73 Amon

Three o'clock on Monday afternoon, above the gray fog.

Audrey was the first to put on a smile, stood up and saluted the leader: "Good afternoon, Mr. Fool∽"

After receiving a gentle nod in response, Audrey said hello to "The Hanged Man", "Magician" and others in turn.

This has become a daily task in the Tarot Club. Alice nodded happily after hearing Audrey's brisk "Good afternoon, Miss Destiny∽", and then watched Audrey continue to say hello to others. .

Even the most gloomy-looking "World" nodded under Klein's control and responded to Audrey's greetings.

In such an atmosphere, Derrick's absent-mindedness became particularly conspicuous.

"What are you worried about?" Audrey looked at Derrick and asked after completing the greeting, so that other people who were curious about his situation did not need to speak anymore.

Derrick "The Sun" did not hide anything. He immediately told the story in full about how he had successfully "pretended to be sick" and was sent to the bottom of the round tower for isolation treatment. He then asked:

"Dear Mr. Fool, will that magical object find out that I am attending a Tarot session?"

Unable to observe Mr. Fool's expression through the gray fog, Audrey turned her gaze to Alice and saw Alice who pursed her lips in time to prevent herself from laughing out loud.

...She thinks this worry is funny and unnecessary?

Audrey tried to guess Alice's thoughts, but she didn't know that Alice laughed simply because she thought Mr. Fool didn't know the answer to the question either...

Klein in the gray mist secretly complained about this in his mind, then tapped the edge of the long bronze table with his fingers, and said with a relaxed smile: "Normally it can't be found, but some magical items have strange effects. ."

Mr. Fool's affirmative reply successfully made Derrick feel relieved. He said "hmm" and said, "I don't know what special effects it has. This is one of the top secrets of Silver City."

Having said this, he suddenly seemed to remember something and blurted out: "Have you ever heard of Amon?"

Amon?

This name seemed to be a gate. After Derrick opened the gate, a torrent of memories poured out. Alice held her head and gasped.

This made both Audrey and Forsi, who were confused, and Klein and Alger, who had some understanding of the name, look at Alice.

But Alice was not in the mood to pay attention to these at the moment. She endured the pain and waited for the torrent of memories to subside. After that, she began to try to sort out those memories.

The first thing she remembered was the picture - there was a man in a black trench coat like a robe, black shoes, black trousers, a wide forehead, and a top hat. He had a thin face and a polar ring on his right eye. Wearing distinctive monocle crystal glasses, he was leaning close to Klein intimately.

After skipping the countless pictures of two people with and without clothes on the back, Alice turned to the last memory that emerged, which was also the first memory.

The familiar girl in school uniform took her hand and mysteriously hid in the room. She heard her confused voice: "Xiaosong? Where is the thing you said you wanted to show me?"

As she spoke, she looked left and right and glanced at the book spread out on the desk - Song Shu, Class 7 (), Senior High School.

Song Shu... Xiaosong...

Alice's thinking didn't last long when she saw Song Shu put her index finger on her lips and made a "shh" gesture, then locked the door mysteriously, walked to the desk, and dug out the drawer from the bottom. A rolled up poster.

Alice watched her perspective get closer and closer, and finally stopped next to Song Shu. She heard herself ask: "What is this?"

Song Shu pulled her to sit down and spread the poster on the table. Alice... saw a huge clock.

This clock is evenly divided into twelve parts with scales written in ancient Roman numerals. A...crow, or a male with black wings, is sitting on the hands. Unknown light falls on the clock, making this The shadow of a man is engraved on the clock face. Alice concentrated on the appearance of this man. He was wearing a black robe-like trench coat, black pants and black leather shoes. He wore a monocle over his right eye...

Monocle!

Before Alice fell into association, her eyes followed Song Shu's fingers and she saw Song Shu opening a notebook with three lines of text written on it:

"Playing with the hands of time,

"Wandering in the shadow of fate,

"The personification of fraud and mischief."

...Amon.

The scene in her memory shattered, but Alice had already remembered the identity of the man in the picture. She opened her eyes, looked at the little sun, and whispered:

"Son of the Creator, Blasphemer, Angel of Time, God of Deception and Mischief..."

Every time she uttered a word, the other people's faces became more shocked and frightened. By the time she stopped speaking, the Tarot Club had fallen into silence. Only Little Sun asked nervously:

"Miss Destiny, are you talking about Amon?"

Alice reached out and rubbed her temples, then looked at Derrick and replied, "If the Amon you mentioned also likes to wear a monocle on his right eye."

When she said this, Song Shu's voice seemed to be still in Alice's ears: "If you find that the person around you suddenly wears a monocle on the right eye, you should be careful - like this ."

She remembered that at the end of the scene, Song Shu took out a pair of monocles from somewhere and put them on her right eye.

——Of course, we all know that Song Shu obviously cannot have anything to do with Amon.

In the unchanged silence, only Derrick's voice continued to sound:

"I don't know... Forty-two years ago, an exploration team encountered a man named Amon in the depths of darkness. After returning to Silver City, they went crazy and lost control one after another. Only one of them was left, who was imprisoned in a circle. The bottom of the tower, right, right next door to me."

Alice suddenly fell silent, and Song Shu's image appeared before her eyes again.

She heard herself curiously asking: "Since He is so powerful, what if, if someone unfortunately encounters Him, how can he survive from His hands?"

Alice saw Song Shu lowering his head and thinking for a moment before replying:

"That can be roughly divided into two situations.

"If Amon doesn't have any reason to kill you, you can find a way to arouse his interest, so you might be able to survive."

She heard herself ask: "Then, what if there is?"

She saw Song Shu showing a mysterious smile and said to her: "Then you can only pray that the death method chosen by the angel for you happens to be what you like."

　Let us congratulate Song Shu for finally having a name

Chapter 112 74 Do they all like to wear monocles?

Chapter 112 Chapter74 Do they all like to wear monocles?

Alice felt her mouth open wide, and after a long time she asked hesitantly: "Isn't there any possibility of escape?"

"Please!" Alice saw Song Shu's exaggerated expression, "That's Amon! The uniqueness of the 'wrong' path, the first person among the true gods! Even if he can run, it's not something ordinary people can run away with! "

Alice heard herself continue to ask: "Then how to arouse Amon's interest?"

"Who knows?" Song Shu shrugged, "Besides, even if Shi Angel's interest can be aroused, Shi Angel may not let him go... After all, he is the God of Mischief, right?"

The scene gradually dissipated, but Song Shu's last voice still echoed in Alice's mind: "Besides, even if you escape, it might be a scam by Amon..."

Alice, who had withdrawn her thoughts from her memories, looked at Derrick, pursed her lips and asked, "Mr. Sun, are you sure that it was really the exploration team that came back?"

This question made everyone feel creepy. The one who finally asked the question was the well-informed Alger: "If it wasn't that exploration team, what would it be?"

Alice thought for a moment and replied: "An exploration team wearing a monocle?"

This time, after hearing these suggestive words, even Alger did not dare to speak anymore.

It was Mr. World who spoke out again: "In the Fourth Era, that is, one thousand and five hundred years ago, or even longer, there was once such a family that wielded strange power. They belonged to the Tudor Dynasty, and their surname was the correct one. It's Amon."

"Family?" Alice repeated with a strange expression, "Mr. World, could you please tell me about the Amon family?"

"Mr. 'The Hanged Man' may know more details." "The World" replied.

Alice then looked at Alger and waited quietly for his answer.

Alger was silent for a moment, collected his thoughts and replied:

"Abraham, Antigonus, Amon, Jacob, and Tamara are the five major families that supported the establishment of the Tudor Dynasty, second only to the Blood Emperor.

"Among them, the Amon family is the most mysterious and has the least history left behind. It seems to have been distorted and covered up by some force.

"There is news from the 'King of the Five Seas' Nast that the Amon family is a family of blasphemers, and they hold the secret of stealing the power of the gods...

"Also, the Amon family claims to be descendants of the ancient sun god..."

After a pause, Alger asked tentatively: "Miss Destiny, is the Angel of Time you are talking about the ancestor of the Amon family?"

Alice looked at Alger, hesitated and asked: "The Amon family you are talking about...do all members of their family like to wear monocles?"

Alger opened his mouth, but couldn't speak. The fear that had just subsided came back to him.

And Derrick finally mustered up the courage and found the opportunity to ask the question that he cared about very much: "Miss Destiny, what does Son of the Creator... mean? What does blasphemer mean?"

"...I don't know," Alice shook her head, "Or maybe I don't remember."

Alice glanced at the disappointed Derrick, frowned and continued: "I'm more curious than this... Since Amon was originally in our world, why did he appear around Silver City? And why did he go there? Silver City? Could it be that he is curious about the sealed artifact we have under the Silver City?"

Yes, since Amon is in the "world" of Mr. "The Hanged Man" and Miss "Destiny", why can he appear in the area around our Silver City... Why did he not accept the request to "be a guest"? Keeping promises…not keeping promises? !

Derrick was suddenly startled, raised his head and looked at Alice and said, "Miss Destiny, I, I remembered something."

"What?" Alice asked. "The exploration captain told me that they had invited Amon to be a guest in Silver City. He agreed after thinking about it. However, when he was approaching Silver City, he suddenly disappeared..."

"..." Alice was silent for a moment, looked at Derrick, and replied seriously, "Maybe he is already in Silver City? He lives next door to you."

Derrick hesitated to speak.

Alice looked at him and wished her heartily: "Mr. Sun, I hope that the next time I see you, you are not wearing a pair of monocles."

This sincere blessing caused others to fall into a cycle of not knowing what to say and not daring to speak. The silence was finally broken by Mr. Fool's ever-calm voice: "It seems you have nothing else to say?"

This successfully eased the atmosphere at the scene, and everyone except Alice realized - yes, their Tarot Society is an organization with the participation of the true God! Judging from Mr. Fool's attitude, this Amon has nothing to be afraid of!

This move stabilized the morale of the army. The first person to recover was Audrey. She raised her hand and said: "Mr. Fool, I request to communicate alone."

After the private exchange, Klein, who had finished reading the diary, leaned back in his chair and said with a smile: "You can trade freely."

Alice, who had discussed with Klein, took the lead and tapped the table twice to remind:

"Everyone, if you encounter someone looking for Mr. Fool's followers or an organization that believes in Mr. Fool recently, there is no need to panic. Just remember to report to Mr. Fool."

"Does this have anything to do with you, Miss Destiny?" Fors was the first to ask. Audrey and Alger also looked at Alice with interest.

Alice raised her eyebrows and chuckled: "This is Mr. Fool's test."

Audrey and Alger both stopped speculating. Only Forsi was still thinking about the relationship between Mr. Fool's test and Miss Destiny.

…But who is this test for?

No one asked the question. Forsi took a deep breath and put forward her demand: "I would like to purchase the soul eater's stomach bag and 20 ml of deep-sea marlin blood. I will pay in gold pounds."

This sounded like a topic that had nothing to do with Alice. She leaned on her chair and waited for others to speak.

After listening to Mr. "The Hanged Man" cleverly show off his qualifications and suggest that Miss "Magician" consider obtaining materials from Backlund, Alice felt that Miss "Magician" must be feeling very hard to describe.

Finally, after Little Sun asked for the potion formula from the "Sun Priest", Forsi had no choice but to ask shamelessly and extremely sincerely:

"Everyone, do you have any good ways to make money?"

In the silent silence, Alice asked: "Miss Magician, have you ever heard of a sentence?"

"What?" Forsi suddenly had a bad premonition.

Alice tilted her head, modified a very classic sentence and said:

"All the ways to make money are written in the code."

Chapter 113 75 "Interesting."

Playvolume00:00/00:00TruvidfullScreen

Chapter 113 Chapter75 "Interesting."

Forsi showed a blank expression.

Did she hear it correctly? Did Miss Destiny mean to ask her to do something illegal?

what?

"Didn't Emperor Russell say this?" The World asked, looking at the stunned Forsi.

What does this have to do with Emperor Russell?

Not only Forsi was confused, Alger and Audrey, who knew more about the inside story, were also unable to understand the problem of "the world".

After discovering that this sentence was not a famous quote from Emperor Russell, Alice shrank back.

Forsi, who did not wait for others to speak, realized that this problem was probably a common problem for all extraordinary people, except of course Mr. Fool.

After "The World" released the commission to find potion materials, Alger made the final commission:

"Please help me keep an eye on a person related to the disappearance of colonial slaves mentioned earlier.

"He calls himself Barron. He has a brownish-red complexion and has obvious Southern Continent racial characteristics, but some people have occasionally heard him speak with a Backlund accent.

"His third tooth on the left is missing but has probably been replaced.

"In addition, his appearance is unremarkable and his height is quite ordinary.

"If you can find his traces, the reward is not a problem, at least 100 pounds, or equivalent items."

Alice frowned after listening to Alger's description, and asked doubtfully: "Are there no photos or personal belongings?"

Alger shook his head.

"Then you can't even do divination..." Alice muttered in a low voice.

Alger didn't dare to speak. Klein in the gray mist chuckled lightly, looked around and said, "You can communicate freely."

...

After the Tarot session, Derrick returned to the real world and found himself in the narrow, dark room again.

Thinking of Alice's words at the tarot meeting, Derrick sat quietly for a few seconds, and then cautiously used the ability of "Light Prayer" to look around the room to confirm the safety of the surroundings.

In the silent darkness, Derrick saw the dark figure sitting quietly beside the bed.

The black shadow quickly became clear, revealing a head that had been split vertically.

Derrick could clearly see that the two gray-white brains were squirming in his head, trying to get closer to each other but unable to do anything.

On the sectioned surface of the brain, the viscous liquid hung down into thin threads, shrinking upward like maggots.

The eyes on each side are far apart, the bridge of the nose is separated in the middle, and the blood is bright.

The left half of the mouth was open, but the right half was tightly closed.

This terrifying monster was naked, with dark red wounds all over it.

The countless wounds opened ferociously, revealing rows of white teeth. They said the same sentence in no particular order:

"Hehe, I've been discovered∽"

Amidst the huge fear, Derrick felt a sense of joy in his heart: Fortunately, it didn't wear a monocle on its right eye, otherwise...

This thought disappeared, and Derrick's pupils shrank violently due to fear. Then, he clasped his hands in front of his chest and placed them on his chin, like a praying posture.

The sacred beam of light dropped from the roof and hit the monster. Then, Derrick saw that the beam of light suddenly became thicker and was so bright that he wanted to close his eyes.

In this dazzling light, Derrick saw a "light man" leap out from it, jump on the monster, and melt the monster.

Then, a phantom separated from the monster. This phantom has dark eyes, a wide forehead, and a thin face. He wore a black classical robe, a black pointed hat, and a crystal monocle on his right eye.

Derrick's eyes suddenly widened. The image of Alice speaking was recalled to him and disappeared from his mind.

The "Light Man" exploded, turning his vision into a white light.

...

After Klein gave Alice today's copy of Russell's diary, he let her return to the real world. After all, he understood that even if he kept Alice, he probably wouldn't be able to find out much.

——Alice can't remember anyone's name except Song Shu until now. If Derrick hadn't mentioned Amon this time, she probably wouldn't even be able to remember Song Shu.

Back in the real world, Alice ignored the silent diaries of Russell. Instead, she took a pen and sketched out the image of Amon bit by bit on the manuscript paper.

The image of the man sitting on the pointer gradually became clearer. Alice looked at the man who seemed to be observing her through the drawing paper, and her eyes became confused: "But...how did they get together?"

As Alice remembered, Amon was the son of the Creator, the angel of time, the blasphemer, the god of deceit and mischief...

And Klein is the Fool, he is...

The sharp pain coming from the depths of her spirituality stopped Alice from continuing to think about it. She stopped thinking about this aspect with a pale face, and forced her thoughts back to the original direction.

——God and love are two words that Alice cannot connect with in any way.

Love is something that mortals only care about.

Even if Amon is not yet the true god, he is already infinitely close to the true god, and Klein... Although I don't know what that castle is, probably from the moment Klein sat at the top and called himself "The Fool" From the beginning, the outcome of everything has already been determined.

After knowing Amon's identity, Alice really couldn't imagine the love story between these two people.

...It can't be that their relationship is just physical, right?

In order to dispel this terrible thought, Alice picked up Russell's diary and forced herself to focus on it.

...

In the place abandoned by God, a man with black hair, black eyes, and a monocle in his right eye was leaning against the wall, his eyes closed, and an interesting smile hanging on his lips.

There were three similarly dressed men sitting next to him. They each held a few cards in their hands, and there were some already played cards in the middle.

It looked like they were just halfway through their "fight against evil".

In the mysterious palace above the gray fog, the soft but emotionless voice of the girl whose face was obscured by the gray fog sounded:

"Son of the Creator, Blasphemer, Angel of Time, God of Deception and Mischief...

"If the Amon you are talking about also likes to wear a monocle on his right eye.

"Mr. Sun, are you sure that it was really the exploration team that came back?

"An exploration team wearing a monocle?

"The Amon family you're talking about...do all members of their family like to wear monocles?

"Maybe He is already in Silver City? Living next door to you.

"Mr. Sun, I hope you're not wearing a monocle the next time I see you."

"Interesting." The man chuckled, opened his eyes, and stretched out his hand to adjust his monocle.

Suddenly, as if he noticed something, he raised his gaze, passed through the layers of obstacles, and landed in the direction of Backlund.

　I came across a very depressing one today that will make you devastated too.

　　A fool abandoned by the times

　　The boss of the Meteorological Bureau in charge of smog

　　Part-time croupier wearing yellow clothes and black tie

Chapter 114 76 Taboo Names

Playvolume00:00/00:00TruvidfullScreen

Chapter 114 Chapter76 Taboo Name

Russell's diary still maintained a very low information density. In the first few paragraphs, Alice did not get any information except that his real name was Huang Tao.

...But it seems to be of no use!

Alice continued to read with a complicated expression, and got another piece of information that was barely useful: Russell's crossing was because of a mysterious silver medal.

This seemed to be all the information. Not knowing that Klein was fighting with Amon's clone, and that Amon had already learned of his existence from Little Sun, Alice destroyed the diary and decided to go out and buy an ice cream to calm down.

...

Ground floor of St. Samuel's Church.

Archbishop St. Anthony, who was wearing a black and red robe, came out. He absent-mindedly ignored the people who greeted him, came to the ground floor, leaned on the seat, and prayed quietly.

After a while, he opened his eyes, looked in the direction of the church door, exhaled, and returned to the ground.

...

"Alice Kingsley?" In the dream, when the man wearing a bishop's uniform shouted this name across from her, Alice's pupils suddenly shrank, revealing obvious shock and fear.

"Sure enough," the other party continued before she adjusted her expression, "someone reported the fact that you are still alive to the Church of the Night."

Alice opened her mouth, unsure of what reaction she should have. Spirituality told her that the person in front of her was a demigod.

"Do you know about this?" the other party asked gently.

Alice relaxed a little and shook her head.

"The person who reported you is named Charlie King," the other party said thoughtfully, "Do you know him?"

"..." Alice immediately realized that this was the reason why she felt uneasy. This was Charlie King's final counterattack, but she hesitated, not sure whether she should tell the other party that she was chasing Charlie King. The golden thing.

The other party waited for her answer quietly. Alice looked at the patient and gentle attitude of the other party and suddenly realized that the other party probably knew something about her ability to stay awake in her dreams.

...Why?

The fact that she can stay awake in the dream should be the blessing of the goddess... In other words, is this an order from the goddess?

Alice felt relieved all of a sudden. She nodded and said, "I'm chasing him."

"I understand." The man in front of her nodded, and then informed Alice of Charlie King's location.

Alice was not sure for a moment what expression she should use to face this matter.

It seemed that the other party just came to inform her and left her dream without waiting for her reaction.

After waking up from her dream, Alice rubbed her brows, walked out of bed barefoot, came to the bedroom window, opened the curtains, looked at the imperfect moon that shed light into the room, and began to think deeply.

It wasn't until the night wind made her shiver that she realized what she was doing. She quickly ran back to put on her shoes and another piece of clothing. She looked at the moon outside the window and clasped her hands on her chest. Pray quietly.

...

Klein, who was awakened from his dream by the sound of prayers, came to the top of the gray mist with a curse, and skillfully caught Alice up.

Before Klein could ask her if she was sick, Alice preemptively said, "I saw the saint of the church in my dream."

Klein's expression suddenly became serious.

Hey, although the actual reason is that he can't sleep, as expected, he won't blame me as long as he has serious business...

Alice blinked twice without any guilt and said, "The saint told me that Charlie King and the Church of the Night reported my existence, and then told me Charlie King's location." "?" Klein felt His mind was a little hard to turn around. After thinking carefully for a while, he tentatively asked, "Goddess?"

Alice shrugged.

So, with the simple thought of waking up, Klein asked: "So you are going to find Charlie King now?"

"I'm not sick." Alice rolled her eyes.

"?" Klein began to feel that something was wrong, "Then why did you wake me up?"

"Uh..." Alice's eyes wandered for a moment, and then she quickly regained her composure, "I can't sleep, let's see if you are asleep."

"?" Klein hated the fact that the table on the gray mist couldn't be lifted.

He glanced at Alice who was blinking innocently with a headache. He advised himself several times not to care about minors, and then asked: "About Amon...do you remember anything?"

Alice frowned and recalled seriously. The messy pictures in her mind resurfaced again, and her expression froze involuntarily.

Noticing the change in Alice's expression, Klein quickly asked, "What's wrong? Did you remember anything? Why is this expression on her face?"

Alice opened her mouth hesitantly and watched as Klein began to think about whether she would get beaten if she asked him if he liked men.

...Even if it's a purely physical relationship, it's weird to ask about it!

Klein looked at her doubtfully.

The words passed Alice's lips several times without coming out. Finally, Alice gritted her teeth and changed the topic:

"Shen... I used to have a friend, her name is Song Shu. She read a book, and you and Amon... were both characters in the book.

"She told me everything about Amon and you..."

A creepy feeling spread in Klein's heart. Klein had no doubt that if he had not been above the gray fog at this moment, his clothes would have been soaked in cold sweat.

After a long time, he asked dryly: "Do you remember anything more? For example, the name of the book, the main plot, the setting, etc.?"

Name, plot, setting... Alice frowned and tried to recall this part of the content, or in other words, to find memories related to "Song Shu".

The scream of spirituality prevented Alice from exploring further.

"Hiss," Alice took a breath and put her hand on her forehead under Klein's worried eyes. After the spirit calmed down a little, she explained, "Don't worry...it's a spiritual warning."

Klein suddenly felt that being too spiritual might not be a good thing.

Alice frowned and fell into thought. She was warned once during the day when she was recalling Klein's identity, and again at night when she was recalling the plot setting of the book's title - how dangerous is this book? !

So, which part is dangerous? Plot? set up? It can't be...hiss.

Alice, who was seeking death, was warned again. After rubbing her temples, she raised her head with a strange expression, looked at Klein and said, "The title of that book seems to represent some kind of taboo knowledge?"

Chapter 115 77 Who is the protagonist?

Playvolume00:00/00:00TruvidfullScreen

Chapter 115 Chapter77 Who is the protagonist?

There is extremely dangerous forbidden knowledge hidden in the title of the book... Klein subconsciously paid attention to this information, and then felt that this seemed normal.

After all, the content of that book doesn't sound very safe.

They were silent for a while, and Klein suddenly remembered Leonard's words about the protagonist and asked curiously: "So, do you still remember who the protagonist of that book is?"

Alice choked suddenly. She looked at the ceiling, Klein, the table, and the floor. Klein looked at Alice's behavior and finally couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything that can't be said?"

Alice opened her mouth, hesitated and swallowed back the words "This book tells the love story between you and Amon", and said sincerely: "You."

"What?" Klein asked subconsciously.

Alice looked at Klein sincerely and replied, "The protagonist of this book is you."

Klein looked at Alice's expression and recalled her behavior just now, feeling that things were not that simple. He asked: "Then why did you look like that just now?"

Alice suddenly wanted to find a piece of tape to plug Klein's mouth.

This was really a somewhat unworkable idea, and Alice quickly gave up, giving an answer that was truthful but not entirely truthful: "Because I always feel that being the protagonist in a book like this doesn't sound like a thing." Good thing."

Klein nodded with deep sympathy, and then asked curiously: "What about you? What is your identity in the book?"

Alice's smile suddenly disappeared. She was certain that there was absolutely no time traveler named Shen Yinghuan in that book - otherwise Song Shu's original judgment of her would not have been a "natural monster".

In other words, there might be one less if at the beginning of that sentence.

yes! Song Shu had clearly mentioned the title of the book to her, and it was called Secret... Secret... Hiss!

Alice's face turned pale and she quickly stopped her memories.

When holding her head and looking at Klein's worried eyes, Alice said numbly: "Actually, you don't need to be so worried. After all, it might be a good thing if I die like this...right?"

Klein, who was familiar with Alice's character, chose not to answer this sentence.

Alice sighed in disappointment and expertly caught her wandering thoughts.

She remembered what the goddess told her before she was resurrected, that there was an unknown existence that erased the existence of the original owner of this body from its destiny and inserted it into her destiny.

Maybe she really doesn't belong in this book, maybe that "unknown existence" involves the truth about her time travel.

In other words, her blank past.

So...the next question is, did that book really exist in that lost civilization? Or, the existence of a vanished earth civilization is actually the setting of that book. She really comes from another world...

Moreover, the idea of ​​living in a book always reminds her of some not-so-good memories.

She couldn't forget the quill pen 0-08 that could write without ink, and of course she couldn't forget Ince Zangwill.

If this book existed in a civilization that once disappeared on Earth, would its creator be a powerful extraordinary person? The story he wrote finally appeared in the world... Having said that, the history of this world is not even remotely similar to the civilization of the earth. Could it be that someone also wrote it...

This was a dangerous thinking direction. Alice quickly pulled her thoughts back to another question: What was the purpose of that "unknown existence" that threw her into this book?

Alice had many questions, but unfortunately, she couldn't get the answers to them. She could only look at Klein and answer:

"Maybe I shouldn't exist in this book, but was just stuffed in by another existence... Besides, why can't I just travel through a novel with you as the protagonist?"

Klein felt that he was convinced, and he analyzed carefully: "What you said makes sense, that is to say, it is no longer the original book. We are actually in another book, and you are the protagonist of this book... …"

Alice felt that she should find a piece of tape to cover Klein's mouth.

Alice glared at Klein fiercely, and after he shut up, she thought to herself: Ah, I wonder what Mr. Fool would think if he saw those paintings at a Tarot meeting...

This is a very dangerous idea, and Alice also became curious about this issue after hearing it.

She originally thought about showing those paintings to Klein herself, but because she didn't know the identity of the other protagonist in the paintings at the time, she gave up the idea after hesitation, and now...

This idea was so tempting that it took Alice a long time to restrain it. She decided to put it off until she could figure out the specific relationship between the two people.

...It's impossible that their relationship is really just physical, right?

Alice shook her head, throwing those dangerous thoughts out of her mind, and then asked steadily: "In that case, will this book have a love line? Will there be a male protagonist or something?"

Klein fell into deep thought.

Their exploration of the past that was still shrouded in fog ended here. Then Klein asked kindly: "How are you going to deal with Charlie King? Do you want to help?"

Alice thought of Charlie King who failed to report, and asked thoughtfully: "Why did he try to report me to the Church of the Night instead of escaping or killing me?"

——Because he felt that he could not run away or fight.

The answer is obvious, but none of them dare to say it out loud - it sounds too scary for a mid-rank player in the "Destiny" path to be forced by fate to be unable to fight back.

Especially for Alice.

Unlike Klein, she was truly pushed onto this path by fate. All the way to where she is today, it can be said that every step is filled with traces of fate.

What worries Alice is the giant white snake hovering at the top of the tower that she dreamed about when she first arrived in Backlund.

——If the nameless "lucky man" and Charlie King were both sent to her by fate, how similar was her situation in the dream to the two of them?

She didn't want to die in front of him in some inexplicable way one day!

Rejecting Klein's proposal, Alice returned to the real world in the haze that spread quietly.

The moon was still hanging in the sky. Alice, who had lost her sleep, opened her pocket watch and found that it was only three o'clock in the morning, still quite far away from dawn.
