Chapter 180: The Gift for Mr. Fool
This actually made Alice a bit puzzled.
Through Shen Yinghuan's memories, Alice could glimpse the marks that fate had left on her, which could even be described as an uncontrollable "Winner" extraordinary ability.
The Sequence 5 of the "Fate" pathway can be considered a qualitative change in some sense. After becoming a "Winner," Alice already possessed the preliminary ability to control her own fate.
She could rely on her own restraint to accumulate a large amount of "luck," turning the tables at critical moments, and could occasionally encounter extremely low-probability good things in daily life.
She could also inflict limited misfortune on her enemies, making them relatively unlucky.
The combination of her own luck and the enemy's misfortune gave Alice a preliminary ability to protect herself—of course, her direct combat ability was still difficult to describe.
This wasn't a big problem for Alice because if she really encountered a situation where she was forced to fight, her only pursuit was for the enemy to kill her in a less painful way.
...Maybe she also hoped the enemy would fall to their own death?
Of course, the "Winner" also gained an enhancement that was quite useless to Alice.
The "Winner's" intuition and premonition had greatly improved at this stage, reaching a very strong level. Whether in divination or anti-divination, they could be called an expert in mysticism.
Alice shook her head and seriously thought about the rules of acting.
First of all, the phrase "use luck sparingly" must be part of the acting rules... Use luck sparingly in daily life and save it for critical moments to become a "Winner."
Having only one acting rule isn't impossible for digesting the potion, but...
Back in the "Lucky One" period, Alice had complained that this sequence name was very suitable for playing a few rounds at the casino, and today, as a more suitable "Winner"...
It would be a pity not to play!
Alice happily decided on this matter, but not today.
After that thrilling ritual, Alice just wanted to rest for a few days before taking action.
...
On Monday afternoon, Klein arrived above the gray fog from a hotel in Pritz Harbor.
When the members of the Tarot Club arrived above the gray fog, he noticed that Alice's gaze indeed curiously lingered on the new member, "Moon" Emlyn White.
I hope he doesn't expose his vampire identity... Klein silently swallowed behind the gray fog.
Of course, Alice wasn't the only one who noticed the new member, but Fors and Audrey's thoughts were more immersed in the recent great smog.
The Beckland Great Smog incident had ended, but the cold reports of the event's impact and aftermath in the newspapers were just cold numbers to those who experienced it firsthand.
Audrey subconsciously glanced at Alice. She wasn't much different from usual, curiously observing the new member while her attention wandered, thinking about who knows what.
Audrey then looked at Mr. Fool. The figure in the gray fog was as high and mysterious as ever.
Audrey suddenly felt a bit envious, her thoughts turning into gratitude.
She envied Alice's carefree attitude, envied Mr. Fool's calm composure, and was grateful that she could still feel sad about those cold numbers.
—After gradually getting into psychology, she had realized that such a stable emotional state was problematic.
Do extraordinary beings eventually become cold and unfeeling... No, Audrey, you must not become like that!
After firming her thoughts, Audrey's myriad emotions finally turned into a less cheerful greeting:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool.
"You have saved Beckland once again."
After a pause, she bowed to Alice and said, "Thank you for your reminder, Miss 'Fate.'"
Alice withdrew her wandering thoughts, looked up at Audrey, and curiously asked, "Why do I feel like you respect me much more here than outside?"
Audrey suddenly didn't know what to say.
...Miss 'Fate,' don't you have any self-awareness of how you are outside?
Of course, this complaint couldn't be voiced, as it didn't conform to Audrey's noble etiquette—even though she felt her etiquette had collapsed many times when facing Miss 'Fate.'
In the end, Audrey only replied, "You don't seem to like others treating you that way."
Alice tilted her head slightly, didn't respond, but shifted her gaze.
Seeing this, Audrey breathed a sigh of relief and initiated the Tarot Club's greeting session.
The new member, "Moon" Emlyn White, looked at this scene in confusion, not quite understanding the strange atmosphere of the Tarot Club.
"Why do I feel like you're afraid of her?" Emlyn asked boldly.
Audrey fell silent again, while Alice propped her chin and casually said, "She likes it this way."
Audrey opened her mouth, unsure whether to refute.
Before anyone else could react, Alice raised her hand high and smiled at the figure at the head of the bronze long table:
"Mr. Fool, I have a gift for you.
"I mentioned it to you before."
Mr. Fool under the gray fog showed a pained expression. Despite his rationality desperately trying to stop him, he still reached out like a curious cat—he accepted the content Alice materialized.
Alice's serious expression seemed to carry a certain unsettling warning. Klein anxiously looked at the paper in his hand, and just the title made him fall into deep thought.
"The Overbearing Angel and His Hundred Disguises of Fool's Little Darling"... Huh???
Klein looked up in shock at Alice.
Before the Tarot Club members could ponder what Mr. Fool had seen, Alice lowered her head and bit her arm to prevent herself from laughing out loud.
—But her trembling shoulders had already betrayed her mood.
What exactly did Miss 'Fate' show Mr. Fool? This question appeared in everyone's mind except the still clueless Emlyn.
But no one voiced this question first. With an even worse premonition, Mr. Fool began reading the content.
If you ignore the identities of the two main characters, this is actually a rather classic vest-wearing story, which in some sense fits the actual situation.
The story begins with the Lord of the Spirit World, Angel of Time Amon, encountering a competitor who calls himself the Fool.
To defeat the Fool, Amon begins searching for the Fool, exploring the Fool's identity.
After peeling off the Fool's disguises layer by layer through the Fool's followers and dependents, Amon discovers that the Fool, who fought him to a standstill, is actually a mortal named Klein Moretti.
The Angel of Time Amon, who always regarded mortals as pigs and dogs, was deeply shocked. On one hand, he was amazed by the brilliance of humanity in Klein, and on the other, he was moved by his love for all beings.
Moreover, the Angel of Time Amon, who had never tasted defeat since birth, experienced human wisdom in his first failure and developed admiration and curiosity for Klein.
With such feelings of exploration and admiration, Amon searched for traces of Klein among humans, learning about Klein's past.
In the initial encounters, Amon was taught a lesson by Klein due to his harsh methods. After several times, he gradually learned to solve problems in a relatively humane way.
In the descriptions of others and subsequent confrontations with Klein, Amon was gradually attracted to the Fool Klein, willingly becoming his punitive angel...
Objectively speaking, this isn't a "he chases, she escapes, she can't escape" cliché story, just a title that explodes to attract traffic.
Of course, this text itself seems to have a certain playful nature, with some descriptions carrying the flavor of a domineering president's novel—yes, the part Amon read.
Ignoring these issues, the story seems relatively normal.
Of course, all this is based on ignoring the identities of the main characters.
After reading the summary and some fragments of the story Alice provided, Mr. Fool's mood gradually calmed.
He calmly tore up the paper recording the story and took out the next one.
"Marrying into the Sefirah Castle: The Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth Gentle Pet."
