……? Alice looked at the title with confusion in her eyes. She decided to take a look at the content. 『 At a luxurious ball hosted by a famous local tycoon, two participants suddenly met with misfortune. One young woman was rushed to the hospital after falling into a coma, while the other girl had the horrific symptom of bleeding from both eyes. The two incidents quickly became the focus of hot discussions in the city. According to eyewitnesses at the scene, the common contact point of the two victims pointed to the host of the luxurious ball - a 40-year-old wealthy businessman, which cast a more bizarre shadow on the incident. The police and medical departments have now intervened in the investigation, trying to unravel the secrets hidden behind this seemingly glamorous event. Preliminary investigations show that the rich man has a prominent social status, but there are very few reports about his personal life. This incident undoubtedly lifted a corner of the mysterious veil of this "invisible rich man". …… 』 Alice closed the newspaper with mixed feelings and pinched her eyebrows. The second half was about some rich people and the introduction of the ball, as well as some polite words. She searched for a long time in a pile of messy things, but failed to successfully decode the true identity of the 40-year-old rich man. Finally, she closed the newspaper in disappointment.
Which new rich people are there in Backlund, about 40 years old, and held a ball yesterday... Hmm, I wonder if Klein knows... Wait, Klein? Alice's movements stopped strangely. She suddenly realized that Klein's current fake identity Dwayne Dantes was a rich man who met the requirements. ...? Alice decided to ask Klein. Klein also saw the news. He was thinking about who broke the news about the ball last night. Although he didn't want to admit that the rich man in it should be himself, when Alice asked him if he knew who the rich man was, Klein was silent for a moment and then replied: "Yes, it's me." "I have something to ask you, about this ball. " This made Alice excited. She immediately came to the gray fog and asked Klein excitedly: "What's going on! How did you end up on the entertainment page! What did you do!" A series of questions popped up, making Klein a little confused. Fortunately, he had thought about what he was going to say before he came up. He ignored Alice's questions and answered directly according to his previous thoughts: "Do you remember Hazel Macht and Winfred Gregory at the ball yesterday? You should know both of them." Alice nodded excitedly. Klein looked at her bright eyes and looked away. He resisted the urge to raise his hand to hit her and continued: "At that time, when the ball was about to end, Hazel suddenly fainted. "We were very surprised, and many people were startled. At that time, a group of people gathered around. Bishop Elektra went over to maintain order, and Winfred stood opposite me. "I wanted to use my psychic vision to see what was happening to Hazel, but she was blocked by someone. Before I could see her, I heard Winfred on the other side shout, and then I saw that her eyes were bleeding..." Klein still clearly described what happened at the time. Alice listened, and the excitement disappeared. She realized that things were completely different from what she thought, and there was nothing strange, so she was no longer so interested. Noticing this, Klein hurriedly added his own question: "I suspect Winfred's eyes were bleeding because he saw something he shouldn't see on Hazel!"
Alice was stunned for a moment, and she frowned. This was not impossible. She looked at Klein and raised something that Klein didn't know: "... Winfred is an extraordinary person. " This was enough to answer some of the doubts. Klein realized that this was most likely due to his clairvoyance. He frowned and wanted to say something, but Alice looked at Klein, remembering his experience of being blocked by someone and not being able to see clearly, and said with a strange expression: "Speaking of which, do you still remember Megosaurus?" "Megosaurus..." Klein repeated the name and pressed his hand on the table. Of course he would not forget Megosaurus. It was because of Megosaurus that he appeared here today as Dwayne Dantes. Otherwise, he should still be a Nighthawk. Oh no, according to Alice, even if there was no Megosaurus, I would have left the Nighthawks for other reasons... because I was not promoted fast enough in the system, haha. Klein laughed at himself, then looked at Alice and waited for her to finish. But Alice did not actually make a well-founded guess. She just caught an illogical direction in her wandering thoughts: "Do you think Hazel is pregnant?" "...Ah? "Klein obviously didn't react. This association was inexplicable, perhaps because of the entertainment page, or perhaps because both Megose and Hazel had just avoided Klein's spiritual vision. In short, Alice thought of it strangely, and she did know someone who met the requirements. "Will Auceptin was born last night." She said. Klein sat up straight, and Alice didn't even look at her, and continued: "It was about the same time as the ball ended, but when it came out, I saw that it was a dead fetus - He probably restarted again, and I don't know where he went. " He instantly understood what Alice meant, but it was irrational. He frowned and retorted to Alice: "But how could Hazel be pregnant? She obviously didn't..." He paused and didn't say the rest, but Alice understood what he meant - getting pregnant before marriage is not good news for a noble lady of this era. Of course, maybe it's only limited to Loen. Recalling Intis written by Emperor Roselle, Alice silently added this sentence in her heart, and then said: "I'm just guessing, it may not be accurate, and, you know, men can't get pregnant." That being said, once people have an idea, they will look for evidence for their guesses. Alice even found a related thing - she cursed Hazel Macht. That was a while ago. At that time, her idea was to let the arrogant Hazel get involved in a high-sequence struggle and learn a lesson. Now it seems... If you have to say it, getting pregnant with Will Auceptin really got involved in their struggle. Klein was choked by Alice's words. He realized that he might also have to bear the great responsibility of giving birth in the future, so he began to remain silent and resist passively. "I want to go see Hazel." Alice finally said this. This was originally Klein's decision. He agreed to this and said to Alice: "That's perfect. I was planning to visit today. And Winfred..."
When she heard this name, Alice lowered her eyes and interrupted Klein: "... Don't go yet. "What if it's really Will Auceptin? It was fine when Allen was there before, but now... you'd better not take the risk. " She paused and reminded Klein: "If you can't wait for me to come back after visiting, you can summon Arrodes to ask - divination may not be accurate, but I guess Arrodes should be able to give you an answer. " This did remind Klein. He included Arrodes in the options. After hesitating for a moment, he asked Alice: "You said, if I divine above the gray fog..." Alice frowned. Of course, she was not worried that Klein would be in danger. He had even divined the "Eternal Sun" and the "True Creator" above the gray fog, and nothing happened. It was even less likely that Will Auceptin would get into trouble. What Alice was worried about was that this would alarm Will Auceptin. "It's better not," she replied, "If you alarm Him, I might be in trouble." Klein regretfully gave up on this matter, and then asked: "Then aren't you worried that Arrodes's peeping will bring danger?" Alice glanced at Klein and mentioned another unrelated thing: "I once asked Arrodes if he had ever peeped at you taking a bath." "......?" "Klein looked at her with a horrified look. Alice did not pause because of his expression, and continued: "Arrodes did not deny my question, it just told me that it was just a mirror. "So, I guess it should have seen it. "But no matter how you think about it, Arrodes would not take the initiative to peek at you taking a bath. Considering its respect for you, this is very unrealistic. "So, this kind of 'peeping' may be closer to a passive, um, or record? "Maybe all the information is there, and when it is needed, Arrodes will turn it out from inside..." This familiar statement made Klein and Alice pause for a moment, and then Klein frowned and asked: "Divination?" There are two types of divination in mysticism. One is the most commonly used by Alice, which is to directly obtain information by peeping into the long river of fate, and the other is more intimate, retrieving information in the spirit world. The situation described by Alice is somewhat similar to the second type of divination, but she spread her hands and answered confidently: "I don't know, I'm just guessing. " Klein choked and changed the subject: "I will ask Arrodes before making a decision."
Alice nodded without comment, and then said: "Tomorrow is Monday... Well, should I wait until the Tarot Club is over before going to see Hazel? After all, my visit is different from yours, especially since we almost got into a fight just now... "Ah, in fact, the best way is for you to confirm it from Arrodes, whether he is sure or not." Klein nodded, and then asked: "What about after confirmation?" Alice waved her hand and gave a very personal answer: "Wait until you confirm it!" So the matter was settled, and Klein returned to the real world, sighed, went out to the study, and drew the mixed pattern that combined the symbols of secrecy and voyeurism in front of the desk. After the last stroke, the full-length mirror in the room began to ripple like the surface of water. In the dim light, silver characters emerged one by one: "Supreme, great, merciful master, your humble, loyal servant Arrodes has come to you at your call. "Do you have anything to tell me?" "There is something I want to confirm with you." Klein replied. He recalled his conversation with Alice and carefully asked the question: "Is Hazel Macht pregnant?" This was the question he asked after thinking about it. This question would make the subject of the question fall on Hazel, and would not involve Will Auceptin. Although it would also cause ripples in the long river of fate, it would be much smaller after all. Perhaps Will Auceptin, who was in a bad state, would not be able to detect it. - Although this was somewhat effective, it was better than doing nothing. After he asked the question, the silver words on the surface of the full-length mirror flowed and gathered into new words: "Not pregnant yet." Klein's pupils shrank slightly. Having had long-term communication experience with Alice, he was extremely sensitive to language. If not, Arrodes could just say no, but not pregnant yet. This statement had already exposed the problem invisibly. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice: "Is that a child conceived naturally?" This time, Arrodes' answer was particularly clear: "No." The screen shook for a moment, and the text flowed and gathered into new text: "Great master, your loyal servant Arrodes has some news about this matter, which is related to Miss Fate. Do you want to hear it?" "Go ahead." Klein replied. Then the silver words moved rapidly, quickly forming the next new sentence: "Miss Fate once left a curse on Hazel, and Hazel will be involved in a high-sequence struggle." The high-sequence struggle... Klein's mouth twitched slightly, filling in the last blank.
-Even though Will Auceptin was in a very bad state after being "restarted" by force, and was even affected by something, and there was no way to choose a suitable mother for himself, Klein did not believe that Hazel was chosen because of coincidence. He took a deep breath, nodded to Arrodes without changing his expression, and said: "Let's stop here for today. "I'll call you again when there are new questions. ” The full-length mirror suddenly became bright, and the silver words shone brightly: “Yes, Master! “Your loyal and steadfast servant Arrodes is always waiting for your call again~” Then, a bunch of beautiful fireworks unfolded on the surface of the full-length mirror. After the fireworks rose and bloomed, countless small hearts of different sizes and colors were revealed. These small hearts formed a huge heart, shining brightly on the surface of the full-length mirror. It has a new trick again... Klein moved the corner of his mouth and watched the fireworks on the full-length mirror go out and return to normal. (End of this chapter)
