Chapter 192 Chapter 66: Persistent Thoughts Will Echo Back

Audrey knew from the start that persuading Alice would be a difficult task. Of course, this wasn't because Alice was stubborn. In fact, as long as you followed Alice's line of thinking, it was quite easy to guide her to change her mind.

The real challenge was following her line of thinking.

Alice's thought process was often unconventional, absurdly logical.

Just like now.

Killing everyone is too cruel, so let's make everyone forget... Is that normal?

After a moment of silence, Audrey took Alice's words and said, "But the church didn't do this to save on compensation, which means..."

"It means that believers are still very important to the true god," Alice said, mixing the different layers of her ice cream with a spoon before taking another scoop and putting it in her mouth. "The church isn't short of money, but it lacks believers."

Audrey was slightly stunned.

"I know what you're thinking," Alice said, staring at the ice cream she had mixed together, frowning. "Or rather, I can somewhat understand..."

Putting down the now unappealing ice cream, Alice looked up and softly said, "I seem to care less and less about human lives.

"I always feel that if this continues, things will head in a very bad direction, at least a direction I don't like.

"But there's nothing I can do. I can only wait."

Audrey paused for a moment, seemingly realizing something, and tentatively asked, "Do high sequences always end up like this?"

Alice leaned back in her chair, pursed her lips, and said, "Divinity is a form of pollution."

Audrey's eyes widened in surprise. She wanted to continue asking about this topic, but Alice picked up the ice cream again, took a big scoop, and stuffed it into her mouth, puffing out her cheeks.

Alright, I understand you don't want to talk anymore... Audrey's mouth twitched slightly, and she gently suggested, "Doesn't your teeth feel cold?"

Alice blinked, silently spat the ice cream back onto the spoon, and then started eating it in small bites.

Watching Alice eat ice cream with a devout expression, Audrey pondered for a moment and tentatively asked, "…Can you stop feeding Susie chocolate next time?"

Alice's actions paused for a moment, then she moved back in her chair, holding the ice cream without looking up.

"?" Audrey's eyes became confused.

Alice looked up and tentatively asked, "Audrey, ladies generally don't hit people, right?"

Audrey fell into deep thought.

Alice blinked and continued, "So if I refuse, you probably won't hit me, right?"

Audrey opened her mouth, then gave up and asked another question, "…What about Mr. 'World'?"

Alice blinked and answered, "He left Backlund."

So the guardian is gone... Audrey felt she understood everything and asked another question she was curious about but wouldn't seem offensive, "Do you really gossip with Mr. Fool?"

Alice blinked, thought for a moment, and replied, "I think He probably doesn't like it...

"After all, He tore up the gift I gave Him at the last Tarot meeting..."

Audrey couldn't help but recall Mr. Fool's behavior at the Tarot meeting, fell silent for a moment, and finally had to ask, "What was on that gift? Can I hear it?"

Alice was silent for a moment, her eyes wandering, "You probably shouldn't hear it.

"Otherwise, I'm not sure what will happen to you, but I'll definitely get beaten..."

Audrey fell into deep thought again.

…What to do, I'm even more curious now.

"Oh, right," Alice suddenly sat up straight as if she remembered something, "Have you heard of roasted swan?"

Audrey hesitantly nodded.

Alice's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "You actually eat roasted swan!"

Audrey hesitantly asked, "…What's wrong with that?"

Alice explained, "No, nothing. It's just that it's the first time I've seen such a thing on the dining table, and it's a bit shocking...

"After all, in the past, anyone who dared to eat it would probably end up in jail..."

"Huh?" Audrey showed a confused expression.

Not wanting to explain animal protection laws, Alice lowered her head and continued eating her ice cream.

Audrey looked at Alice and thoughtfully nodded twice.

...

After Alice proposed to leave, Audrey readily agreed and prepared to call the maid.

Then, as if she remembered something, Alice grabbed Audrey and said, "Wait a minute!

"I don't have to walk such a long way to get out, do I?"

Audrey paused for a moment and nodded.

Alice pondered for a moment and asked, "If I climb out of the window, would it look strange?"

This unexpected suggestion made Audrey's eyes widen. She was afraid that if she delayed for a second, Alice would really do it, so she nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes."

Alice indeed gave up on this idea and sighed painfully, "If only I could... If only I could 'travel'."

"'Travel'? What's that?" Audrey asked in confusion.

"It's... teleportation!" Alice nodded firmly, "In short, you can go wherever you want without walking."

Audrey's eyes also lit up, and she exclaimed, "That sounds amazing!"

"Right," Alice turned her head excitedly, "This ability is really convenient!"

So, after a mutual admiration of an ability they both lacked, Alice had to start circling through different corridors.

Finally, after returning home, Alice jumped off the carriage, walked to the door, and placed her hand on the doorknob. A scene suddenly flashed in her mind.

It was the layout of a living room, with a fireplace directly opposite the door. The fireplace wasn't burning, with only some residual ashes.

A short round coffee table was placed a little distance in front of the fireplace, cluttered with various items, seemingly casually thrown by the owner.

On either side of the coffee table, two double sofas of the same color were arranged in a "V" shape, with a man sitting on one of them.

The man had black hair, black eyes, wore a black pointed soft hat, his hair was messy and curly like an unkempt bird's nest, but he was neatly dressed in a long black coat, black pants, and black leather shoes.

Of course, he also had a signature monocle on his face.

This face, which Alice was all too familiar with, turned and smiled at the person at the door, saying, "Good afternoon?"

Alice gasped, looked at the familiar living room layout, and the suddenly appearing Amon, then looked at the doorknob and fell into deep thought.

...Although she mentioned Amon every few days and even went out with Amon's monocle, it didn't mean she really wanted to see Amon at home!

Alice finally understood what it meant to be a "dragon lover who feared the dragon."

Persistent thoughts will echo back: Refers to Amon coming to Alice's door due to her constant thoughts about him.
