"I really am." After barely calming down, Klein looked at Alice and said through gritted teeth, "I, you, can you give me a heads up next time you say something like this?" Alice blinked, nodded solemnly and said, "I'll try my best." "...It's a miracle that only three angels want to kill you today." Klein gave the same evaluation as Amon. Alice blinked and analyzed carefully: "Maybe one? Adam obviously didn't want to kill me, right? As for Amon...well, actually I don't think Amon had the intention to kill me. He might just want to... "Want to play with me?" Klein thought for a while and asked his soul: "Are you a toy?" Alice hesitated and said: "Yeah, it's not exactly right? "I think when He saw those things, he should have been a little...well, a little shocked."
"What?" Klein asked doubtfully. Alice was silent for a moment and said sincerely: "No, nothing." "Alice," Klein frowned and looked at her, "Are you hiding something important from me?" "Absolutely not," Alice swore, "I just thought you would hit me if you found out..." "...Now I'm really worried." Klein looked at Alice weakly. Alice's eyes flickered and she said: "Ahem, let's talk about something else. "I think I've met Triss." "Huh?" Klein's attention was indeed attracted, "What's going on?" "I don't know," Alice spread her hands, "I don't dare to look, you know." Klein was stunned, remembering Alice's attitude when she saw him for the first time, and did not pursue the question any further. Seeing that Klein seemed to have nothing to say, Alice slapped the table with her hand and said with a serious face: "Detective James Holmes, I have a commission for you." Note ① Klein was silent for a moment about this title, and finally gave up the idea of correcting Alice and asked: "What kind of commission? Do you want money?" Alice looked at Klein with betrayed eyes. "...If you don't want to give me money, just say so. Don't look at me like that." Klein put his hand on his forehead in pain, keeping out of sight. "Okay," Alice calmed down a little, "If I want to go to the East End, what preparations should I make?" Klein pondered for two seconds and then asked: "Why do you suddenly want to go to the East End?"
Alice thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" "...What's the lie?" Klein couldn't suppress his curiosity in the end. Alice imitated the statue of the Thinker, put her naturally curved right hand against her chin, lowered her head, and put on a solemn expression. She originally wanted to put her elbows on her knees as the statue did, but after looking at the table, she finally gave up, put her elbows on the table and said: "This is a revelation from fate." Klein was silent for a moment and asked, "Are all high school students today like you?" Alice raised her head and looked at him quizzically. Klein opened his mouth, and finally gave up the previous topic and asked instead: "What about the truth?" Alice lowered her head, maintaining the previous posture and lost in thought. "What are you doing?" Klein looked at Alice, who was silent and looked like a real statue, with a confused face. "Ah," Alice blinked twice and raised her head, "I was thinking." "Ah?" Klein's eyes were blank, "Then what did you think about?" Alice blinked and said: "Nothing at all. "Maybe you can go if you want to." … Audrey stayed alone in the study with complicated emotions. The girl next to Prince Edsac may be a witch... How to tell other people this news? She pressed the keys impatiently, producing a harsh sound. The sound made Audrey suddenly retract her hand and look at the door. Sure enough, after a while, Susie poked her head in and asked: "Audrey, are you really okay?" Audrey opened her mouth and was about to find an excuse to pass it by. Suddenly, she saw boundless gray fog and a praying figure. Then, a voice came to her ears: "Great Mr. Fool, my investigation has yielded results. The woman Prince Edsac fell in love with is the 'Witch' Triss of the Witch Sect. She has now been promoted to the 'Witch of Joy' and was renamed Tris by the senior management. Silk..." Audrey instantly remembered Miss Destiny's guess not long ago, and she immediately realized that this guess had been confirmed by Mr. Fool. No, no, I have to remind Dad... But what method should I use, what excuse should I make... Audrey tried hard to control her face and eyes so as not to expose herself in front of Susie, while thinking about what she should do. At this moment, she saw Mr. Fool sitting leisurely at the top of the long bronze table, and heard him say in a gentle tone with a hint of joking:
"Chick, hey, this is the real name of the 'Original Witch'..." Audrey only felt her head buzzing, and then she heard Susie's worried voice: "What's wrong with you, Audrey?" Without Susie's reminder, Audrey knew that her face was extremely ugly now. She stood up suddenly and said to Susie: "I suddenly remembered something important." … Back in the real world, Klein breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was still nothing unusual around him. Before heading to Prince Edsac's Red Rose Manor, he leaked the news that Prince Edsac might have raised a witch. His purpose was not to let the official Beyonders arrest people, but to let the secrets be leaked and silence him become meaningless. ——Of course, he also wants to prevent the other party whose plan is exposed from becoming angry and killing him. But judging from the current situation, it is not clear whether the other party is angry or not, but it is probably a bit too busy to take care of himself. … Alice is dressing up in disguise as suggested by detective James Holmes. First, she needs to take off her "Matilda" - otherwise she suspects she'll be robbed. Klein suggested that she go to a cheap hotel in the East End to change clothes, but... Alice looked at herself in the mirror and frowned slightly. She seems to be at the peak of growth and development. In just a few months, she has not only grown two to three centimeters taller, but her face that originally looked immature due to the baby fat that has not completely faded away now has the appearance of a teenager. temperament. She no longer had the impetuous feeling she had a few months ago, wishing she could grow up overnight, but became a little calmer - not that she didn't desire, but that she had learned to wait, even if it was forced. She can no longer be called a child, but a half-grown girl.
