Chapter 286 Chapter 160 Klein, the Four Families

   Chapter 286 Chapter 160 Klein, the Four Families Alice

  thought briefly for two seconds and repeated her old trick, so Luan's legs softened and he knelt on the ground, but he didn't bother to get up. Instead, he said in this position with a choked voice:

  "You, your mind makes me admire you.

  "You will be here, here..."

  He couldn't go on, and burst into tears on the ground. Klein finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he began to curse Alice in his heart.

  Alice, what are you doing again!

  It turns out that as long as you control the strength of the "doom wave", you can make people's emotions fluctuate violently... Well, this, this can be regarded as a form of trance?

  Alice tilted her head and suddenly realized that the scene seemed to stop here awkwardly. Even Follett Ken looked at Luan in surprise.

  The great task of saving the situation is left to you, Mr. Fool!

  ——Alice looked away irresponsibly.

  Although Alice said nothing, Klein knew that it was impossible for her to clean up the mess. After thinking for a few seconds, he said calmly:

  "There is a second half to the previous sentence, 'Punish them severely for the second mistake they made.'"

  Admiral, you don't need to come back. There are people who are more like you than you... Alice looked at Klein, who remained calm in the face of danger, and took a small breath, and silently raised the probability that Lueran would be more stable in the future.

  Please, let him recover faster... With Alice's prayer, Lueran's emotions gradually calmed down. He still couldn't get out of that kind of emotion, but at least he didn't sit on the ground and cry loudly.

  Thank God.

  Alice was thankful to see Lueran adjust his emotions after apologizing. This meant that Klein would not care too much about this with her - probably not.

  After this episode ended, Klein let Lueran go without changing his expression, and then looked at Follet Ken, who had a dull expression, and asked calmly:

  "What is your relationship with the 'Rose School'?

  "What is the relationship between the 'Mother Tree of Desire' and the 'Bound God'?"

  Alice pricked up her ears.

  Follet Ken's expression suddenly turned into one of suppressed fanaticism, he could not hide his excitement and said:

  "We, we are a branch of the Rose School, my mentor is the Saint Zatwin of the Rose School.

  "'The Bound God' is an incarnation of the 'Mother Tree of Desire'.

  "'Mother Tree of Desire' is the real, the only god that transcends the Seven Gods and the 'True Creator'!

  "Your Excellency Admiral, you are the candidate for His Favored One!"

  "Then he will now become the favored one of four gods..." Alice popped up faintly, "But the name'Bound God', how come it sounds like he was kidnapped by the 'Mother Tree of Desire'..."

  Follet Ken looked at Alice who emerged from the air in horror, watching her walk briskly to him, then squatted down to look him in the eye, tilted her head and asked:

  "Could it be that your 'Mother Tree of Desire' has tied up the 'Bound God' and had children with Him? "

  Follet Ken fell to the ground under her curious gaze.

  "Why are you so easily frightened..." Alice muttered in a low voice.

  "Alice!" Klein frowned and called her, interrupting her.

  This forced Alice to turn around and ask, "Don't tell me you were going to let him go?"   

  Klein was silent for a moment, then walked over to her and grabbed her collar. Alice didn't resist at all, and stood up from the ground with his force, then took two steps back.

  "Don't get so close." Klein didn't look back at Alice, but stared at Follett Ken.

  Alice blinked twice before she realized what he meant - he was reminding her not to get too close to the enemy unless she was sure he was dead.

  No, according to his style, he would not touch it with his own hands even if it was completely dead... Alice glanced at Klein's gloves obscurely and quickly remembered this detail, but she corrected him:

  "I still know about the counterattack before death... But even if he counterattacks, he can't do anything to me, okay - I can barely be considered the chosen one of fate!"

  Klein was too lazy to pay attention to her, but he did not suppress his smile. Instead, he showed a gentle smile that definitely did not belong to Amyrius, lowered his head and asked:

  "What have you done that violated the laws and social customs of the kingdom?"

  Follet Ken hesitated. He should have been relieved by this, but this smile gave him an indescribable sense of uneasiness, and...

  He glanced at Alice hesitantly.

  Alice, who suddenly appeared, revealed a lot of secrets in a few words, and each one seemed to indicate that he was not going to live long - from Alice's attitude, she really didn't intend to let him walk out of this room alive.

  Alice noticed his gaze, her eyes turned slightly, and she asked in a brisk tone: "Do you think you deserve to die for the crime you committed? Are you willing to repent for it and pay the price for it?" There

  seemed to be a hint of letting him go in these words - at least giving him a chance to atone for his sins?

  Follet Ken thought and lowered his head, trying his best to make himself look remorseful:

  "In order to seize other people's property, I tortured their family for a night, killed them and abandoned them in the jungle, and then used forged documents to successfully obtain a lot of wealth.

  "I deliberately induced many believers to indulge in their desires, and watched them become nutrients for the 'Mother Tree of Desire' step by step in the emptiness and regret afterwards.

  "I have deceived many ladies, and took possession of them under the pretext of helping them liberate their nature and obtain spiritual salvation...

  "I, I have done a lot of wrong things, I really deserve to die..."

  "Then go to hell! "Alice happily agreed to this.

  Follet Ken's voice was stuck in his throat, and the fake confession on his face was still frozen. Klein finally couldn't help it, and smiled and cooperated with Alice's performance:

  "Since you have prayed and confessed devoutly, then I will also obey the will of my Lord and grant you death."

  He raised his left palm in Follet Ken's unbelievable eyes, and a terrible mouth cracked there, with two rows of illusory teeth white and cold.

  "No... No!"

  A shrill and terrified scream sounded, and Alice took advantage of his consciousness and said quickly: "No one will hear you even if you scream your throat out~"

  Klein couldn't bear it anymore and raised "Creeping Hunger" to Alice.

  There would be no danger. If it didn't involve authority, a real angel would hardly be hurt, but Alice still obediently reached out to cover her mouth.

  Klein glared at her, and then asked unhappily: "Which four gods' favored one am I? Why don't I know?"

  (End of this chapter)

Chapter 287 Chapter 161 General, I miss you so much

   Chapter 287 Chapter 161 General, I miss you so much

  Alice blinked twice and counted on her fingers to show him: "'Mother Tree of Desire', me, 'The Fool', and..."

  She paused, stretched out her fingers and tapped four times on her chest, drawing a crimson moon symbol.

  Counting like this, it seems that there are really four... No, when did I become a goddess's favorite?

  Klein suddenly reacted and asked in confusion: "When did I become a goddess's favorite?"

  Alice lowered her head and thought seriously for a moment, then touched her chin and asked: "Which goddess are you referring to?"

  Klein raised "Creeping Hunger" again.

  Alice stared at "Creeping Hunger" and thought for a few seconds, licked her lips and asked:

  "If I let 'Creeping Hunger' return to its state before it was full..."

  "I don't mind using you to feed it." Klein replied expressionlessly.

  Tears welled up in Alice's eyes.

  "Don't pretend," Klein was too lazy to pay attention to her. He bent down and picked up the gray-white light ball on the ground that looked like a brain. "Hmm... Sequence 8's extraordinary characteristics?"

  "It can't even be exchanged for a piece of auxiliary materials," Alice curled her lips. "High sequence... money is really just a number."

  After a pause, Alice murmured again: "You reminded me that I haven't finished drawing the previous comic..."

  She disappeared silently while muttering to herself.

  Klein was deeply shocked by Alice's dedication. Although his questions were still unanswered, he did not try to call Alice out again. Instead, he snapped his fingers and burned the fragments of clothing on the ground.

  He sat back behind the desk and watched all traces disappear in the flames. Then he pulled the rope and rang the bell outside the door.

  Lu Er'an lifted the "ban" and walked in, instinctively examining every corner of the room.

  The disappearance of Follett Ken did not cause any reaction from him. He quietly responded to Klein's order and went to arrange the capture operation against the Celestial Sect and the Rose School.

  ...

  After using his injury as an excuse to postpone all the arrangements for the next two days, Klein finally had time to ask Alice the question she had asked before:

  "So, when did I become the goddess's favored one?"

  Alice grabbed the tail of a large, lively lobster, stretched out her hand and tore off the lobster's two claws, while casually saying:

  "We all crawled out of the same cemetery, and we even lived next door to each other. It's impossible for the goddess to only see one of us~"

  Klein hesitated to look at the dying lobster. Alice noticed his gaze and silently put her claws back.

  Klein swallowed back the words he had prepared. His expression suddenly became serious, and he frowned and asked Alice:

  "Alice, you won't do this to humans one day, right?"

  Alice's hand on the lobster's whiskers suddenly stopped, and the lobster's claws took the opportunity to pinch her finger. Although there was not even a red mark, Alice frowned and threw the lobster to the ground in displeasure.

  "Alice." Klein's tone became serious.

  He didn't ask this question on a whim, but the way Alice looked at humans was no different from now most of the time.

  Alice bit her lip and stared at the dead lobster on the ground and said,

  "You can't ask me to treat humans as my own kind... That's unrealistic."

  "So, will you do that?" Klein didn't respond.

  The atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet. Klein didn't speak first, so several minutes passed before Alice's voice rang out:

  "I don't know... Maybe, sometimes I do, sometimes I don't."   

  After a pause, she raised her head and said hesitantly:

  "In fact, it seems that I don't know how to do it more often now than before."

  Klein was slightly stunned.

  Alice turned her head at this time. He looked at Alice's disappointed expression and hesitated for two seconds, then couldn't help but said:

  "Why don't you just scold me?"

  "...Are you sick?" Alice fulfilled his wish without hesitation.

  Klein looked at Alice, whose expression had become lively again, and smiled and said, "Right, this is the right feeling."

  Alice glared at him fiercely.

  Although Alice's previous words were not true, Klein gave up asking how he became the goddess's favorite, and asked:

  "Alice, there is actually one thing I haven't asked you, I don't know if you still remember it.

  "What happened to the Saint Furran...?" "

  This is a belated judgment. Alice froze in her tracks. She lowered her head and glanced at the window and door out of the corner of her eyes, praying that someone would come in or something would happen outside.

  She succeeded. A figure in a tuxedo appeared by the window. He had black hair and blue eyes, and the corners of his mouth drooped slightly. He carried the unpleasant smell in Alice's memory.

  It was Amyrius.

  Alice ran over quickly to open the window for Amyrius as if she had seen a relative, and then said with tears in her eyes:

  "General, you are finally back, I missed you so much!"

  Amyrius almost fell.

  Klein gritted his teeth, walked forward and grabbed Alice's collar, ignoring Alice's pitiful eyes, and pulled her out of the way.

  Then, he looked at the obviously frightened Amyrius and asked: "... Admiral, how about you come in first? "

  - Although Alice is unreliable most of the time, Klein has full trust in Alice's spiritual intuition.

  Amyrius entered the room silently through the window. At this moment, in this situation, he completely lost the desire to test Alice and German Sparrow, and asked directly:

  "Has anything happened in the past few days?"

  Before Alice spoke, Klein reached out and grabbed her loose school uniform, successfully shutting her up.

  Amyrius obviously noticed this scene, and his majestic gaze fell on Klein. Klein resisted this majesty and picked out the easiest thing:

  "Your secretary made a mistake and was injured."

  "Huh? What else?" Admiral Amyrius nodded deeply and restrainedly.

  Klein tried not to look away, looking directly at the other party and said:

  "Your brother has been removed from the post of governor, and the new governor has arrived.

  "Your Miss Cynthia has transformed into a monster and has been purified by me.

  "Some of your guards and servants have been infected and are being treated..."

  Alice looked at Amyrius, whose expression was becoming increasingly uncontrollable and gradually becoming stunned, and added the final blow:

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

  (End of this chapter)

Chapter 288 Chapter 162 Epilogue

  Klein swore that he wanted to stop her.

  But when he opened his mouth, air rushed into his respiratory tract, and he suddenly coughed violently and uncontrollably. So he could only cough while watching Alice finish the sentence shyly.

  You are worthy of it, fate.

  Amyrius would never take this sentence seriously. He thought for a moment and looked at Gehrman Sparrow.

  Klein recovered from his coughing and met Amyrius's gaze. He replied calmly:

  "These are Miss Cynthia's last words."

  After a dozen seconds of silence, Amyrius turned to Alice, nodded and said:

  "Thank you."

  This made Alice choke. She realized that Amyrius's thanks were sincere - no matter what her purpose was for doing what she did just now, she did bring back Cynthia's last words.

  Such feedback suddenly made Alice feel a little bad. It was a feeling that made people feel depressed. Alice knew what it meant - it was guilt.

  She opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't apologize as naturally as she did to Klein.

  Alice bit her lip, raised her foot and kicked Klein's calf lightly, and in Klein's incredulous eyes, she said to Amyrius dryly:

  "You're welcome."

  Alice's figure disappeared on the spot. Klein moved the muscles of his calf inconspicuously, restraining the desire to show Alice his teeth.

  In fact, it didn't hurt as much as when her eyes exploded, but it was already a very ruthless way for her to vent her anger... Klein sighed in his heart and asked Amyrius:

  "Is there anything else you want to know?"

  Amyrius's eyes were retracted from the two of them, and the subtle loneliness completely disappeared from him. He spoke in a low but majestic voice:

  "What was the specific process of the incident?"

  Klein didn't hide too much. He started from the time when his pants fell off in front of Auston, then mentioned the warning of the mysterious man in the dream, and finally recounted Cynthia's change and everyone's reactions.

  Klein did not describe the specific course of the battle in detail, but only mentioned that the "Ninth Law" spell isolated the external influence, and he pushed all the rest onto Alice.

  He also described to Amyrius the results of the subsequent investigation and the pranks Alice played on others. Of course, he avoided mentioning that the actual target of the "Mother Tree of Desire" was his business, and did not mention Alice's arrangement of Adam.

  Amyrius's expression changed from shock and hesitation at the beginning to gradual numbness later. Finally, he spoke in a deep voice:

  "The mysterious man who invaded your dream emphasized the fate of the times and the trend?"

  "Yes." Klein, who had restored the face of Gehrman Sparrow, answered.

  Amyrius glanced at Klein, and then confirmed: "You kept my appearance in your dream?"

  "Yes." Klein confirmed this, but did not explain more.

  Amyrius also did not ask about this matter. After silently pacing a few steps in a small area, he looked at Gehrman Sparrow again and said:

  "Your choice is fine."

  Five-star praise!

  Infected by Alice's strange idea, Klein excitedly felt the feedback from the digestion of the potion, and suddenly had a new idea.

  Hey, if I were to play Alice...

  "I have a question," Alice's voice interrupted Klein's thoughts, "Did you intend to sign a contract with him from the beginning?"   

  Amyrius's gaze naturally slid to Alice, who had adjusted her mood, and he said in an emotionless voice:

  "I originally did not plan to sign a contract with the substitute, but was going to inform Cynthia that there were signs of losing control and I couldn't get close to her within 5 days, but later some reasons made me change my mind."

  Someone helped me... Klein was keenly aware of this and subconsciously asked, "What's the reason?"

  Before Amyrius could answer, Alice turned her head and said,

  "It's useless to ask... A good 'writer' will not leave his own name."

  Klein immediately understood the object of Alice's suspicion. This was indeed one of the suspicious candidates, and Alice did point out a core problem-if the other party helped him but didn't say it, then there is a high probability that he doesn't want to show up for the time being.

  Klein did not ask any more questions. Instead, he took out the broken pendant and handed it to Amyrius, saying,

  "This is the 'Reproduction Necklace' from the 'Mother Tree of Desire'."

  Alice added a half sentence for Klein: "You can try..."

  Strength came from her sleeves, and Alice silently closed her mouth and pulled her sleeve out of Klein's hand.

  Amyrius did not participate in the communication between the two of them. If he had to say what he felt...

  the fully active level 0 seal seemed to be easier to seal than normal... Amyrius glanced at Alice inconspicuously and made an assertion.

  He took the reproduction necklace, looked down and said,

  "You can leave now.

  "Go to Bilt to collect your reward."

  Alice suddenly stopped, looked at Klein, then looked at Amyrius, and asked Klein with her chin in her hand:

  "Under normal circumstances, shouldn't you be silenced?"

  Klein was silent for two seconds, ignored this sentence, turned to Amyrius, pointed at his formal dress and said,

  "Clothes. "

  Amyrius suddenly realized that Alice might not be the only one who was abnormal here.

  He was very foresighted and did not take off his clothes. Instead, he and Klein looked at Alice who was trying to get away with it.

  Alice blinked twice, stared at the two of them and thought for a few seconds, then opened the window and jumped out.

  "...?" Amyrius felt a little confused.

  Klein looked at the scene in surprise, then turned his head and explained to Amyrius:

  "I think she did this probably because you came in through the window." Note ①

  This is not a reason. It can do nothing but bring deeper doubts to Amyrius. He finally confirmed that Alice's way of thinking was not something he could understand. He took off his clothes in silence.

  Klein exchanged clothes with Amyrius in this silence, stood up and walked to the door. After hesitating for two seconds, he turned around and asked tentatively:

  "Your Excellency Admiral, can we go out together?

  "When she came in at the beginning, she came in with me."

  Amyrius confirmed again that Alice was not the only one who was abnormal here.

  No, maybe it's not them who are abnormal, but me…

  Watching Klein's disappointed back as he left, Amyrius fell into a strong state of self-doubt. (End of this chapter)

Chapter 289 Chapter 163 You are becoming more and more like a human

  After opening the door, Klein did not see Alice as he expected.

  He was a little surprised. After thinking for a while, he went out and walked around until he came under the window.

  Alice was waiting for him there. When she saw him, she raised her head happily and stretched out a hand to him.

  Just like the children in the kindergarten waiting for their parents to pick them up... No, ordinary children are not as tormenting as she is.

  Klein shook his head and reached out to pull Alice's hand, but an ice cream suddenly appeared and was held by him.

  Klein took it in confusion and looked at Alice in confusion.

  "Happy Valentine's Day, Mr. Fool~" Alice blinked, "Although I should actually give you chocolates... Forget about roses. You should ask someone else for roses."

  Yes, today is February 14th, Valentine's Day... Klein, who had never been in love in his two lives, was silent for a while, took the ice cream, and then asked hesitantly:

  "How did you find the ice cream in the middle of the night?"

  After they stared at each other in silence for more than ten seconds, Alice hesitated and asked:

  "If I tell you that I actually ate this not long ago, would you feel...

  "I ate it and then vomited it out?"

  Klein suddenly had the urge to throw the ice cream in his hand at her face. He estimated the difference in strength between the two of them and the difficulty of coaxing Alice, and finally gave up the idea.

  "Alice," Klein smiled kindly and looked down at Alice, satisfied to see that she had become well-behaved, "Did you do something bad behind my back?"

  Alice stuck to the wall, then raised her head and said firmly: "No, I didn't do anything! "

  Is there any difference between this reaction and directly admitting it...?" Klein pinched his brows with a headache, stretched out a hand to Alice and said, "Get up from the ground first."

  Alice didn't grab his hand, but got up from the ground by herself, then stood against the wall and lowered her head obediently.

  After staring at Alice for two seconds, Klein suggested, "If you are punished to stand, it is more appropriate to face the wall."

  Alice thought what he said made sense, and she turned around obediently. After staring at the wall and the ground and thinking for two seconds, she turned back with a frown and asked in confusion:

  "Why should I stand? I didn't do anything wrong."

  Klein kept a warm smile and asked, "What's going on with the Saint Furran? "

  Alice turned back silently.

  Klein turned Alice back speechlessly. Alice followed his force and turned her body. Then she looked up at him carefully and said with a pursed mouth:

  "I didn't mean to do that. I, I didn't know there would be such serious consequences, and I have tried my best to make up for it..."

  Klein kept smiling.

  After a minute of silence, Alice, who was about to cry but not crying, lost her patience first. She put away her false confession and tears, lowered her head and said:

  "Before I arrived at Bayam, I was too bored, so I added a bad luck to the ship...

  "But nothing happened in the next few days, I, I thought it was fine...

  "But after I got the uniqueness back, I saw that ship, that ship..."

  Alice bit her lip and didn't continue.

  She was not really confessing. She might have felt a little guilty, but more of it was because she was afraid that I would be angry... However, this was much better than at the beginning.   

  Klein drew a conclusion from Alice's attitude. He shook his head, and after a moment's silence, he reached out and rubbed Alice's hair.

  It felt really good... He withdrew his hand without leaving a trace, and looked at Alice who looked up blankly and asked softly:

  "You said you made compensation?"

  He didn't seem too angry... Alice stood up a little straighter, and the words explaining that she left a "prophecy" circled around her mouth, and changed to another sentence:

  "I, I made sure that nothing would happen to the people on the ship...

  " "In this way, the shipwreck will still happen, but the problem is only the ship, and the people on the ship will be fine in the end.

  "This should be fine, right?"

  Alice looked up at Klein, hesitated for a moment, and finally did not try to manipulate the probability to make him believe.

  If I make the decision for him, he will be unhappy... Alice pursed her lips, lowered her head, and said with downcast eyes:

  "The prophecy mentioned by Amyrius is about this... In this way, after the prophecy is fulfilled, it should be considered a legend... Right?"

  The whole explanation is reasonable, and there is no problem with Alice's redemption. As for the Storm Church... Forget it, Alice hasn't spent all the money she robbed.

  And since she has shared the spoils with the goddess, let the goddess take care of this matter... Klein shook his head and casually reached out to Alice's hair again.

  Alice dodged his touch and stared at him vigilantly.

  After two seconds of silence, Klein suggested: "You can write down the fact that I touched your hair in the Holy Scripture in the future."

  Alice immediately decided to go back and draw the scene of Miss Cynthia's confession and give it to him.

  Klein didn't know Alice's determination. After thinking for two seconds, he decided to ask Alice for free:

  "Can you take me back to the hotel?"

  This was not an excessive request. Alice grabbed him and sent him back, but she had no intention of leaving.

  So Klein, who was preparing to go to bed, had to continue to deal with Alice:

  "Do you have anything else to say?"

  Alice blinked twice and said hesitantly: "Although I know you don't mean that, but..."

  "Enough," Klein suddenly remembered what happened in the bathroom that day, and he interrupted Alice hurriedly, "I didn't want to invite you to sleep with me!"

  Alice stared at him and said, "But your question is really easy to be misunderstood..."

  Klein was silent for a while, and tactfully reminded: "I think you may be the only one who thinks so."

  Alice opened her mouth in surprise.

  Klein glanced at her and continued to remind her: "Just like I think a normal person would never climb out of the window just now..."

  Alice closed her mouth hesitantly.

  Klein continued, "Perhaps you can tell me what else you have to say, so that I can see if this idea is normal."

  Alice hesitated and looked at him and said, "You haven't received your reward yet, I don't think this matter is completely over yet..."

  Fortunately, it's still normal... Klein nodded, smiled and encouraged Alice:

  "Keep it up, the way you think about problems is becoming more and more like a human!" (End of this chapter)
