Without further ado, after calming down a little in the church, Alice decided to go out for a walk now. She could think of not many things related to the word "chaos". Although there was a war brewing secretly, before the war started, Alice's first reaction was to the East End. After the great smog, Alice only entered the East District a handful of times, and she just passed by. When she stepped here again, she felt an indescribable sense of trance. After the Great Smog Incident, Loen's senior management finally realized that the suffering here was a breeding ground for evil spirits to descend, and tried to make certain improvements to the East District. Coupled with environmental management, the dead atmosphere in the East District has finally faded a lot. only…… Alice frowned slightly. She "observed" the fate of Backlund's East District and walked towards the muddiest and most chaotic direction. She didn't use her extraordinary powers and just walked over step by step. As a result, the environment deteriorated visibly, and the smiles on people's faces became shallower little by little. When she was about to approach the final core, Alice stopped in silence. Look in one direction. A man wearing the most common blue-gray work clothes in this area walked out of a house, and a disheveled woman chased behind him, shouting as he chased: "Money! Money!"
The man walked very fast, and the woman stumbled forward, hugged his waist from behind, and shouted with a trembling voice: "money!!!" Sad, desperate, and stopping. The man didn't react at all. He didn't move at all. He pulled his arms from his waist, threw the woman away, raised his foot and kicked her towards her. He kicked and shouted: "roll!" That kick was very fierce, but the woman didn't care. Instead, she took the opportunity to hug the man's leg, raised her head and begged: "Please, my children and I haven't had anything to eat for several days..." Alice was not sure whether she should pity this woman. She realized that this might be a story of free prostitution. Even though Alice had seen such a thing for the first time in the past and now, in various literary works of modern society, There is no shortage of similar stories. She knew that in certain circumstances, this was not uncommon. This level could make her stop watching, but it was not worthy of her scant pity. Until the kid rushed out. "Mom!" When the man pulled out his foot and was about to kick her a second time, a teenage girl rushed out and stood in front of her mother, closing her eyes without hesitation. Pity is not worth it, but this true love may be worth it. When Alice was thinking about it, she found that the man had also stopped. ...? Is he relenting too? Moved? Alice blinked, and the man retracted his feet, showing a lustful smile. He looked up and down at the teenage girl, then rubbed his hands and said: "Hey, I told you earlier, your daughter is so beautiful..." As he said this, he rubbed his hand towards the girl's face. ...? Crazy!
Alice widened her eyes and remembered Sharf's disgusting look again. The anger she had not expressed towards Sharf finally transferred to the man in front of her. The man who stretched out his hand suddenly became breathing rapidly, with a horrified expression on his face. He stretched out his hand to cover his chest, with a suffocating expression on his face, and sobbed: "Uh, help me..." As he said this, his face gradually turned purple and ugly, and he fell to the ground without any strength. The last sound also gradually disappeared, and the mother and daughter hugging each other finally had time to hug each other and cry. Alice touched her chin and began to think about whether she should leave directly or come out for a bubble. How about I leave...? This idea only came up for a moment and was abandoned, because she saw the mother and daughter hugging each other tremblingly after checking each other's health, and softly praised: "Praise the goddess..." Alice suddenly realized that she had overlooked something again. This is a world where the true God exists. Different from the false divine right to kingship in memory, the kingly power here is truly God-given. As for the East District of Backlund under the rule of the gods, the gods may not have intervened, but the gods must not have allowed it to become what it is today. It felt like some kind of thick filter was suddenly broken. She sighed in a low voice: "Goddess, you are not innocent either. You are about the same as me... Ha, it should be said that at least in terms of morality, everyone may not be much better than me..." This fact made Alice feel dumbfounded. She was finally able to accept praise and thanks from others with peace of mind. Anyway, everyone was just the same, so they might not be as good as her. Why couldn't she be praised for her good deeds? Alice nodded confidently and muttered: "In this case, as long as I don't make any principled mistakes, I will be on the same level as everyone else... "But why does it have to be like this? The 'Chaos Walker' to the 'Prophet' seem to have the same feeling... Is the faith that sprouts from disasters more pious? Isn't there any kind of faith that is to make the world a better place? Was it born... "...Forget it, it has nothing to do with me, I can't let them thank you anymore." Alice decided to go out first and take back the credit. She no longer concealed her presence, smiled softly, and seemed to sigh: "Mortal... Although ignorance may be a blessing, I will be angry if I thank the wrong person." The mother and daughter turned their heads in horror. Alice stood a little more seriously, walked into them, bent down and said: "You should praise, you should thank, you should...well, maybe I really should have a bishop, it seems like I'm losing value. "... Pretend you didn't hear what I just said. I mean, you should thank me." The eyes of the mother and daughter were blank. The mother seemed to catch part of the key points from Alice's messy words. She said in surprise: "Are you...?" "You can call me..." Alice raised her chin confidently, but her voice suddenly stopped. She likes to tell people that she is Miss Destiny, but if she is a god... Alice blinked and added the final title without leaving any trace:
"...Fate." "Goddess of Fate..." the mother murmured in a low voice, with a flash of light in her eyes, "So, is this a punishment from fate?" No, I just happen to dislike him... Alice blinked and decided to choose a suitable word to explain her randomness from the vast number of religions in her previous life: "That's right." She smiled slightly, with a compassionate expression: "Good people will eventually get good results, and evil people will eventually get bad results. Maybe those evil people will live better in a short period of time, but that's just because the time has not come yet." ——She translated the most common and popular saying from Buddhism. "So that's it, fate... Haha, so that's fate!" The mother knelt on the ground and looked up, "Praise you, great goddess of fate, I will recite your name and pray every day from now on. Your blessing..." ...Help, she won’t come up and hug my thigh too, right? ! Alice thought of the scene just now and ran away in embarrassment. When the mother saw her disappear, her eyes became even more excited. She knelt down on the ground and pressed down her daughter who was still in a daze beside her. She continued: "A miracle, this is a miracle, I praise you..." ……Neuropathy! Alice, who could feel her faith, blocked the scene and decided to turn a blind eye. Enjoying the quietness again, Alice recalled her previous emotions. At this moment, she finally understood "Cassandra's" behavior - it is indeed easy for people in distress to have faith after being suddenly rescued. Although she didn't have a controlled experiment and didn't repeat the experiment... Bah, dirty stuff! Alice drove the knowledge out of her mind indifferently, then couldn't help but frowned and said to herself: "So, it can't be true... first create chaos, and then turn into a 'prophet' to save everyone. The acting methods and rituals of the two sequences are all in one go... Can't it be true? "This is too... Hey, speaking of it, the pinnacle of this path is actually called the 'Key of Light', ha, light... "If the light of the 'Key of Light' is like this, it would be too ironic... No, it is like this, which is consistent with her... His performance. “Pull people into the abyss with your own hands, then rescue them, appear as a savior, and finally reveal the most desperate facts... Hey, isn’t this what He likes to do the most? "Song Shu...heh." Alice clenched her fists and decided not to go shopping today, but to study the teachings while her inspiration was still there. ——Even though Alice said the Buddhist phrase casually at that time, it seems like a good idea to copy it from Buddhism. In addition to the original sentence that Alice plagiarized, "Good deeds will be rewarded with good deeds, and evil deeds will be rewarded with evil deeds. It's not that they are not repaid, but the time has not yet come." What impressed Alice deeply and was consistent with the "destiny" approach was the theory of reincarnation. Buddhism believes that life is not a one-time event, but will be reborn in the six realms of reincarnation based on karma after death, including the heavenly realm, the asura realm, the human realm, the animal realm, the hungry ghost realm and the hell realm - look, isn't this what success means? Has it become a god, "restarted", "restarted" into a beast, turned into a wraith, or been sealed? Also familiar to Alice is the Buddhist theory of nirvana. Buddhists pursue liberation from the cycle of life and death and achieve a state of no suffering... Isn't this an archangel? ! There is also the law of cause and effect. Buddhism believes that all actions have their consequences. Good deeds bring good consequences, and bad deeds bring bad consequences. Karma not only affects the current life, but also affects future lives. This view coincides with "destiny" The path corresponds to equivalent exchange.
Of course, here we have to mention one of the most suitable aspects of Buddhism for Alice, although this is not worthy of Buddhism... it is the so-called "fate". Destiny is full of randomness. Just like Alice told Klein, even if the probability is 0 or 100, the ending is not destined. But sometimes the probability is just a random number in the middle, but the ending seems to be destined. , giving people a sense of powerlessness... Well, Alice admitted that she had never encountered either extreme situation. No, the former one may have been encountered before. But in any case, such special characteristics, coupled with Alice's character that changes day by day - she has a deep self-awareness of this, which means she is destined to believe in the "Goddess of Destiny" she just casually made up. What will happen is unpredictable . Buddhism, which also pays attention to "fate", undoubtedly provides the best explanation for this. So…… "Klein!" Alice knocked on Klein's door from a distance, "Do you believe in Buddhism!" … At night, above the gray fog, Klein looked at Alice sitting in front of him and asked helplessly: "Tell me, what do you want to see me for?" "This time it's business!" Alice sat upright, "But you have to tell me first whether you believe in Buddhism or not." "Why did you ask this?" Klein frowned, "I don't believe it." "Ah?" Alice was disappointed again, "That's right, I have an idea about the teachings - I'm going to copy the teachings of Buddhism!" "Huh?" Klein was stunned. Alice, who was in high spirits, excitedly grabbed Klein and told him her thoughts. Klein listened thoughtfully and said with emotion: "What you said makes sense..." "Yeah, right," Alice said proudly, "However, I can only remember part of the Buddhist teachings, and I can't remember those words that are very philosophical at first glance..." "I'll do this," Klein volunteered, "I have no problem with this!" "Eh?" Alice looked at him with wide eyes, curious and couldn't help but ask, "What did you do before?" Klein smiled confidently and replied humbly: "I am not very talented, but I am a keyboard warrior." This sentence was said in Chinese. To suit the context, Klein even stood up, stroking his beard and nodding in greeting, which made Alice cover her face, looking like she couldn't bear to look at him. Having achieved his goal, Klein put away this set of actions, pondered for a moment and then asked Alice: "Are you in a hurry? Oh, by the way, do you still need your new honorary name...?" "I feel uncertain..." The corner of Alice's mouth twitched, "I was originally worried that Will Asceptin would do something with that honorary name after he was born, but you also know the current situation..." The corner of Klein's mouth also twitched, and he reminded: "I remember that Amon can steal things. Be careful. He stole Will Asceptin's time and let Will Asceptin be born overnight. Come and find you. trouble……" "That means the opportunity has come for me to become a god," Alice said with a dull face. "It's you who should be anxious now, Klein. I hope you will be promoted to an angel as soon as possible. After all, my promotion is just a matter of drinking a medicine. What a big deal." that is……" Her voice stopped abruptly. "What is that?" Klein's eyebrows twitched and he frowned at her. Alice blinked, swallowed back the old memories that were on her lips, and said without changing her expression:
"The worst thing is that I will be a little embarrassed when I 'restart', after all, the potion has not been fully digested." (End of Chapter)
