At this moment, Alice realized that she had indeed experienced a death in Tingen City. There are three deaths in a person's life. The first is death in the biological sense, which occurs at the moment when an individual's heart and breathing cease and physiological functions cease. The second time is social death, which is not what we often call "social death", but refers to the moment after the funeral when the individual's social identity comes to an end. The third death is the memory level, and it is also the most profound one. When the last person who remembers the individual forgets the individual or disappears from the world, all traces left by the individual in the world disappear. On the surface, she experienced the first death, but in fact, she experienced the second death—the little girl in Tingen City was already completely dead. At this moment, she is Miss Destiny, she is an angel, she is the favored one of the goddess of the night, but she is not the original Alice Kingsley. ——She is a god, and the original Alice Kingsley was an ordinary little girl, a mortal just like them in front of them. Tears flowed down as if the dam had burst, but Alice's mood gradually calmed down, and the long-standing depression was released in the tears. The fragile emotions flowed out of the body along with the tears, until a voice sounded: "Alice, you..."
Dunn called Alice's name softly in his still familiar voice and tone. The sound was as gentle as a sigh, but Alice still heard it. She quickly raised her head, but tears obscured her vision. Alice stretched out her hand to wipe away her tears. There was a hint of worry and concern in Dunn's eyes that was not obvious, but it disappeared the moment Alice saw it. She saw Dunn lower his head and asked again: "Your Mightiness?" Alice suddenly felt the urge to cry again. This was different from just now. Just now it was pure sadness and emotional breakdown, but now - she couldn't tell whether she was happy or sad. But Alice didn't let herself cry. She held back her tears, smiled gently, as if she were returning home for the first time after leaving home for a long time, and said in a brisk tone: "I, I'm fine, I just couldn't hold it back... "Captain, let me tell you, I am much better now...I have really grown up. "Don't worry about me...if you still worry about me." There was an inconspicuous choking in her words, but Alice did not try to hide the choking. She just took one last look at Dunn, and then at the dark night church behind her, and then disappeared. Alice didn't leave, she just hid her existence - she still had to see the outcome of this matter. As she said, she has grown up a lot, so she still remembers that Klein's grave is next to hers, and this matter is not suitable to be exposed for the time being. Because the goddess had no intention of exposing this matter. Dunn did not choose to go back. He stared deeply at the place where Alice disappeared. Alice was not sure if he knew that she had not left, but Dunn really had no intention of going out again. He returned to the church with his people. Alice followed the church and she was very skilled at doing this kind of thing, so she discovered that Bishop Dunn, who had been staying at his post all year round, finally left his post today. Alice is actually very familiar with the next process. She appeases those who know the information, and invites them to become civil servants if they are suitable. There is no such step here, because neither the flower shop owner nor the tombkeeper is suitable. After the flower shop owner and the tombkeeper left here, Dunn began to do his own thing. Alice saw him first open the telegraph machine and send a telegram, and then started to write a letter. Without the telegraph code, Alice could not figure out the content of the telegram, so she just looked at Dunn who was writing and began to hesitate - ah, isn't it impolite to spy on other people's letters?
After being tangled in place for who knows how long, Alice saw Dunn stacking up letters and realized that the letter was probably finished. Her eyes widened, and when she was considering whether to find an opportunity to take a peek, Dunn did not collect the envelope or send the letter as she expected, but arranged a ceremony. Alice watched helplessly as Dunn prepared herbs and essential oils related to the undead realm, and then lit a candle. Next, Alice heard an ancient Hermetic incantation: "I!" Immediately following are two incantations in Hermetic language: “I call in my name! "A spirit wandering in illusion, a creature from the upper world driven by people, is the messenger of Daly Simone alone." The captain is contacting Ms. Dai Li...? Alice had to admit that she was confused. She certainly didn't suspect that Dunn had told Ms. Daly about his information. From her understanding, the captain was not the kind of person who didn't abide by the code of confidentiality. Anyway, Dunn would definitely not say anything before getting permission. So what Dunn will do now - based on common sense, he probably wants to talk to someone close to him. Alice knew that the captain and Ms. Dai Li had a good relationship, or it might be that Ms. Dai Li had a good relationship unilaterally, because in her memory, although Ms. Dai Li was transferred away, she would still come back to the captain frequently. As for the captain...the captain didn't mention Ms. Daley often, but in Alice's impression, the captain seemed to always praise Ms. Daley. It was a very unfamiliar and distant compliment. ... So their relationship was so good? ! Alice took a breath in surprise, and at the same time she was sure that Dunn would not dig up her and Klein's graves. She felt relieved, and after thinking for a moment, she did not leave, but harassed the respected Mr. Fool on the spot: "Mr. Fool... If I am depressed, can you help me call a psychologist?" This was of course a joke. Alice was actually not as depressed as she was. This stimulation was not as harmful as the birthday gift given by the "Key of Light". - But, without any warning, when she was happiest, her self-righteous arrogance was torn apart alive. And this time, Alice actually expected Dunn's attitude. As early as when Evelyn shouted "you", this fact that she had always been unwilling to face appeared. - She had already had a thick barrier between her and "mortals" that could not be penetrated. "Klein..." Alice called out softly, "Will we be like this in the future?" This was a question that she didn't expect to get an answer. Alice only glanced at the Holy Emblem of the Night behind Dunn during the questioning, and thought of the goddess with a strange attitude. It seemed that the goddess was not very close to her...Although her tolerance for her behavior could almost be called indulgence, her attitude when talking was actually not intimate. ...Are all gods like this?
Alice blinked blankly, and suddenly remembered a very zhong xiao saying: Growth sometimes means loneliness. ...It's a bit too zhong xiao. Alice shook her head, but did not leave Tingen City immediately. Instead, she quietly left a trace of concern on the captain, and wandered around Tingen City while waiting for Klein to reply. Since she's here, Tingen City is a place full of memories for Alice. After all, she had stayed here for three years. She walked through the streets and alleys. Before she got feedback from Klein and Dunn received a reply, she bought a Dixie pie and a cup of sweet iced tea. Alice was not sure what she wanted to do, or rather, she had never known what she wanted to do - she was always pushed, pushed by fate. If fate was the long river of light she saw, she had probably been drifting with the flow. Now she was unwilling to drift with the flow. She tried to stand firm - but she didn't know what to do next. Alice took a deep sip of the sweet iced tea in her mouth. In the sweet and sour taste, she suddenly remembered that there was a real "born 'monster'" in Tingen City. The man was called Admisol. He was active in the underground market of Tingen City for many years. He was born half a "monster", but he had never had the opportunity to take the potion. She suddenly wanted to take another look at this "born 'monster'". This thought came very suddenly, but Alice accepted it. She stepped into the underground market of Tingen City with Dixie pie and sweet iced tea in her arms - in fact, she had already eaten them, and she just bought another one. Ademisol was actually not difficult to find. This guy who always muttered in his mind was very famous in this area. Alice, who was about to cross the open road, did not worry about being discovered - well, she was not too worried about this. She showed her figure at the entrance of the underground market, stopped in front of a random stall owner, and asked with a smile while picking up the amulet on the stall that was obviously fake: "Boss, have you seen that 'monster'? I just walked around and didn't seem to see him. This is a rare thing." This was a lie. She had just entered the door. The boss didn't know it was a lie, or rather, he didn't care whether her words were true or not. Instead, he avoided answering and recommended the things on his stall with a smile: "Hey, are you looking for that 'monster'? That's not a lucky guy. It's unlucky to run into him. Buy two amulets and then go find him?" "Ah?" Alice blinked blankly, "He's only born half a 'monster', not a born 'disaster priest'. How can it be unlucky to run into him?" "It's hard to say..." The boss shook his head mysteriously, "But, 'disaster priest'? Hey, do all of you educated people talk like this? I have to say, he is really unlucky, and he is also crazy all day long... But priests are not necessarily crazy, right?" Oh, he doesn't know what a "disaster priest" is... Alice touched her chin. As Alice looked at him with a doubtful look, the boss smiled and continued: "But you'd better buy an amulet before going to see him, right?" Alice looked at the boss doubtfully. After half a minute of staring at each other, she suddenly had an idea and understood what the boss meant - he was telling her that if she wanted to find out the news, she should buy something first. Alice lowered her head and fell into deep thought. This was a very reasonable thing to do, so Alice asked the prices of all the amulets on the stalls and prepared to choose the cheapest one. When she asked the price for the 32nd time, the boss finally couldn't stand it anymore and shouted to her: "Over there!" Alice put down the amulet in her hand without hesitation, stood up, and walked in the direction the boss pointed. She walked in that direction to the end of the underground market, but she couldn't see Admisol, so she turned back in doubt. When she returned to her original position, she found that the boss had disappeared.
"...?" After Alice was stunned for two seconds, she guessed that she might have been tricked. She opened her eyes wide and was thinking about whether to go to her boss to settle the score. Suddenly she heard a cry of joy: "I-I can't see it!" Alice looked towards the source of the sound. Not far from her, there was a pale young man standing. He was wearing a shabby linen shirt and blue-gray trousers, his eyes were distracted and crazy, his eyes were falling on her, and he seemed to be looking at something else through her. Alice heard his numb and joyful voice still ringing continuously: "I can't see! I don't see anything!" That was Admisor. During Alice's hesitant pause, Admissor walked forward excitedly, his distracted eyes gradually focusing, looking at her with joy. After looking her up and down several times, he seemed to have finally made up his mind. He surrounded her and gradually choked out: "I can't see anything..." Of course he couldn't see anything. After all, the person standing in front of him was an angel of the "monster" path. But such an excited attitude made Alice's emotions a little complicated, especially since she had just cried and was still in the emotional state. After a slight silence, she closed her eyes, adjusted her face, and opened her eyes with a soft smile. He raised his eyes slightly and said: "You were born with these eyes from fate, and they became the source of your bad luck. "Now, I have an opportunity here. If you choose to accept it, maybe you will end your bad luck and become the 'lucky one' who stands out. "Perhaps after that, you will face deeper misfortune and become a 'disaster' in the eyes of others... "If fate favors you enough, maybe you can find true luck in the disaster, become a 'winner', stay calm in the joy of victory, and find a real turning point in fate - maybe you will truly control your misfortune and usher in hope. . "Of course, this is just an ideal direction. The greater possibility is that you will encounter deeper misfortune in the process and eventually die due to misfortune. "If you choose to refuse, you will continue to live here as the 'monster' Admissor here, but...at least you will be safe. "You...want to choose to accept it?" (End of Chapter)
