The discussion ended with Klein being unable to listen to the increasingly distant topics and shutting up Alice. Only then did Klein have the opportunity to look at Leonard. After a few seconds of silence, he asked like a casual chatter: "Are you in the Red Gloves now?" "Yes." Leonard responded dryly, feeling that the atmosphere was inexplicably tense. Klein looked at him and said after a moment of silence: "If you're leaving the Red Gloves, this is a good opportunity. "No one will track you down." "...I'm used to it," Leonard avoided his eyes, "I'm used to staying in church." Klein then took off his silk hat and gave a farewell ceremony. Holding the hat, he turned towards Ince Zangwill's body and took from it a card depicting a chariot and a crimson priest.
The face of the crimson priest was exactly that of Russell Gustave. Alice quietly raised her hand and waved at Leonard twice, then trotted to catch up with Klein, not saying anything now. Leonard's lips moved and he suddenly said: "You, won't you return to the church?" Klein didn't turn around, put on his silk top hat and walked towards another exit of the square. After walking a few steps, he paused, turned his back to Leonard and replied: "I can't go back..." There's no going back... Leonard looked at Klein's back blankly, but Alice stopped, turned to Leonard and said: "...I guess he doesn't want to hear his former acquaintance call him Your Excellency one day." After saying this, Alice left Leonard, who was still dazed, and caught up with Klein. The conversation finally took place above the gray fog, and Klein spoke before Alice: "What do Adam's words mean? What do you mean by your words? What do you mean by the answer...?" "You guessed it a little bit... I remember I asked you." Alice sighed softly, "I seem... I really don't belong to this world." Klein was stunned for a moment, frowned and looked at Alice, but Alice had already lowered her head, her eyes fell on the table blankly, and her voice was low and hoarse: "It's not like you come from a civilization before the First Age, but it really comes from another world. As for that book... "Compared to the prophecy of the 'Key of Light', I prefer to believe that it is a product of that world - I have traveled into the world of a book." After saying this, she raised her head, took a deep breath, showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and said to Klein: "This is the only answer I can think of. Otherwise, I really can't figure out why the omniscient and omnipotent Creator doesn't know my origin... "If the answer doesn't lie in this world at all, it's easy to explain, isn't it?"
Klein opened and closed his mouth. After repeating it several times, he softly said: "...It's me who should show this expression, right? "Rather than traveling into a book, knowing that the world you live in is actually just a book and everything is false is more terrifying, right?!" "No," Alice denied what he said, "This is the world of that book, but it is not necessarily the world in the book...I mean, this is not necessarily false." "What do you mean?" Klein was confused. Alice glanced at him and stated the obvious: "If this entire world were a book in my former world, then my status should naturally be higher than any existence here - there is absolutely no way that I could be forced to this point by the 'Key of Light'." She looked at Klein with a serious expression. After two seconds of silence, Klein asked aloud: "Do you remember how old you were when you traveled through time?" Alice replied doubtfully: "First or second grade, anyway, I just started elementary school..." "That is to say, is there a possibility," Klein considered the words, "Maybe you are more...?" Looking at Alice's face, Klein swallowed back his unfinished words. After seeing Klein shut up, Alice said to him expressionlessly: “You better pray that’s not the case. "If that's the case, it means you are actually a paper person, and I won't feel any burden about you and Amon having a baby together." Klein swallowed and stopped talking. "But," Alice suddenly looked at Klein with some curiosity, "Why do you seem to be not too concerned about this matter... Well, do you know what I mean?" Klein smiled bitterly and said: "Because this doesn't change anything. Even if this is the real world, to some beings, there is no difference between me and the paper man you are talking about - you know who I am referring to. "And, I remember we talked about this before... It's a whole new story here, isn't it?" After two seconds of silence, Alice took the initiative to change the topic: “Let’s talk about something else. “One thing I’m sure of – Adam may have known about me, even knew I was with the goddess, but never actually met me. "Besides, there is something very strange..." She frowned before continuing to say to Klein: "...Although the fact that time travel is true is indeed a bit shocking, as you said, whether it is true or not does not have that big an impact on me. "I do care a little... but I shouldn't care so much that I would vent my anger on others because of this matter. Just now, when Adam answered me, I wished that He would die..." "?" Klein really looked at her with a surprised look, with a strange expression, "Adam has never offended you, right?"
Alice glanced at him and said expressionlessly: "Not even as many times as you have offended me." Klein turned his head and looked around, and began to appreciate the gray fog around him that he was already very familiar with. Alice didn't chase Klein to discuss this issue. She just wanted to find someone to talk to. In fact, she had some guesses about this matter in her heart. --She suspected that the "Key of Light" or the "Lord of Mysteries" had a grudge against "God". The reason why it was "or" was because Alice had always suspected that the "Key of Light" might have been a secret doll or clone of the "Lord of Mysteries". Shaking her head, Alice decided to talk to Klein about him: "What is the ability of the 'weird wizard'?" When it comes to this, Klein's expression shows a moment of weirdness. He looks at Alice, and after a moment of silence, he reluctantly says: "... I also feel that this sequence is a bit like a circus now." He truthfully mentioned the changes in his abilities. As Alice listened, her expression became weird, and she asked hesitantly: "Have you considered opening a circus...?" "No," Klein firmly denied it, "I want to continue to be Dwayne Dantes." After a pause, he added: "However, for the role-playing method, I plan to try the supernatural circus you proposed before..." Alice looked at Klein hesitantly, but Klein changed the subject as if he was afraid that he would say something: "By the way, are you interested... "Go to that light door and take a look? " Alice was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned her head to look at the stairs she walked down every time, and after a few seconds she turned to Klein and asked: "Can you go up now?" "I haven't tried it," Klein shook his head, "but it should be possible - according to my previous attempts in the past few sequences, I think it should be possible now." Alice jumped up from her seat and gave the answer with her actions. There are six steps in total. Alice followed Klein to the last step, jumped up, and stepped on the cloud formed by the gray fog. Then, she stomped her feet on the spot and asked Klein: "By the way, do you know what this gray fog is made of?" "I don't know. "Klein shook his head and looked forward. Alice also turned her head to look over. She was not unfamiliar with what was in front of her. This was a brilliant light gate stained with a little blue and black. It was composed of countless layers of light balls. The body of each light ball was a pile of twisted worms hugging each other. Some of them were transparent, and some were translucent. This was exactly what she had seen on Klein. Standing on the last step, penetrating the vague cover, Alice finally saw the scene above the light gate. There were thin black lines hanging there, and they hung one after another of almost completely transparent "cocoons".
Those "cocoons" swayed gently, wrapping different souls, some black, some yellow, some white, and some wearing jeans. , some holding mobile phones, some wearing gorgeous clothes, some with beautiful facial features, all of them have the breath of life, but their eyes are tightly closed. Among them, three "cocoons" have been broken, and there is nothing inside, swaying in the wind. Alice was stunned for only a moment, and then she realized where this place was. She reacted very quickly and looked at Klein, and saw that he was looking up at all this, silent. A bad premonition rose in her heart, Alice gritted her teeth, turned sideways and grabbed Klein, attracting his attention back. The scattered sight fell on her, and Alice almost instantly noticed the state of confusion. She subconsciously held tighter, but Klein's sight on her gradually solidified, and he said gently: "Don't worry. " Alice began to feel lucky that this was above the gray fog, otherwise she would have burst into tears on the spot. After gritting her teeth, Alice took a step forward, closer to Klein, but the hand holding his arm loosened. She looked at Klein, who showed no emotion, took a deep breath and asked: "Which one is you? " Klein paused for a moment before pointing out the light cocoon that belonged to him. Alice turned her head to look at the light cocoon. Inside it was a young man with dark brown eyes and short black hair. His skin color belonged to the yellow race. His facial features were not distinctive. He looked gentle, but his eye bags were obvious and his chin had already shown signs of double layers. Alice looked up and down for a moment, then turned back to compare the current Klein. The appearance above the gray fog was different from the masks. He looked like Klein Moretti, but the bookish air on his body had long faded, revealing a majestic aura after combining with the gray fog. The body wrapped in a suit showed no trace of fat, but instead had a sense of strength. His height was slightly taller than that of Tingen in Alice's memory. If compared with Zhou Mingrui in the light cocoon... Alice shook her head and commented: "The Beyonder's figure is still better." After a moment of silence, Klein couldn't help but say: "I know you want to comfort me... but Alice. "I really want to beat you up." Alice blinked her innocent eyes. Klein looked at her and sighed, shook his head, turned around and walked down the stairs and said: "You don't have to worry too much about me... I've heard you talk about things before the First Age, and I've already known where I probably slept until now... "Now, I just saw the dormitory with my own eyes." After a pause, he looked back at Alice, raised his head and asked her: "I'll go talk to Miss Justice, okay?" After Alice was silent for a moment, she jumped down the stairs and suggested to Klein: "You can tell Miss Justice that after I experienced her psychotherapy, I felt that it was good and I strongly recommend you to go there. "In this way, you can ask her if she can get a discount if she is introduced by an acquaintance... Even if not, you can give me a discount next time I go to her." Klein listened to her speech quietly, and then asked: "This is a good idea, but do you remember? I went to see Miss Justice before...Have you gone to see her recently? Why didn't you tell me? Maybe she can give you a discount by mentioning me. "
Alice's eyebrows twitched, and she spoke with some guilt: "I'm just chatting with her!" Klein still looked at her steadily. After more than ten seconds, Alice finally couldn't help it and took the initiative to say: "I just...well, let's put it this way, I'm just not used to the feeling of being a god... “The feeling of being truly cared for wholeheartedly and regarded as the only hope… "Worried that I can't do well, worried that I will live up to this trust and expectation..." After a pause, Alice stopped talking. She looked at Klein, walked closer to him step by step, stood in front of him and asked: "...After you come back from your chat with Miss Justice, it will still be Klein who is talking to me, not The Fool, right?" "I promise." Klein promised. "That's good," Alice said with a relieved expression, "otherwise, I would have to worry about you using the 'Poseidon Scepter' to hit me one day - I also plan to wait for you to come back or wait for you to become an angel. , look at your mythical creature form, touch that insect..." Klein's expression paused, and he looked at Alice, trying to tell whether she was telling the truth this time or trying to comfort him. Alice blinked her innocent eyes, and then cried pitifully to him: "Mr. Fool, you won't refuse my small request, right?" "I am a fool now," Klein sneered, "Get out of here!" Alice continued to approach Klein pitifully, but after Klein raised his head and stared at her expressionlessly, he quickly rolled away. (End of chapter)
