Chapter 153: Unexpected Events
A Mental Patchwork Monster?
Alice reached out to touch her chest. She could feel a heart beating steadily and powerfully there.
It was a human heart.
So, what about her? What exactly was she?
Alice recalled Alan's words.
In Alan's dream, Urolus and Will Ansetin were abstracted as two giant white snakes confronting each other, while she maintained her human form.
...But was she really human?
After pondering for a couple of seconds, Alice remembered what Mr. "Hanged Man" had said.
Ah, forget it. After all, there are others around. Even the experienced Mr. "Hanged Man" said so...
I'll deal with it later!
Alice happily cast aside her worries and continued flipping through Roselle's diary.
"June 5th, I obtained an ancient tome that surprisingly mentioned the name of the 'Primordial Witch,' not as a revered title!
"His name is Chick, which is a male name.
"This ancient tome must be fake, right?"
Ah, so the 'Primordial Witch' is indeed a man...
Alice shook her head, preparing to destroy the evidence. Suddenly, she paused.
Wait a minute, if the 'Primordial Witch' also ascended step by step from Sequence 9, then...
How did he play the role of the 'Pleasure Witch' before?
Alice fell into a long contemplation.
Did anyone the 'Primordial Witch' knew back then get silenced by him...
No, Alice, stop thinking about such things. You don't want a true god hunting you down!
Having already provoked two or three angels, Alice quickly interrupted her wild thoughts.
Speaking of which, it's about time to get off work, right? I wonder how Dr. Alan is doing. Did he reveal anything in front of Will Ansetin...
Alice tilted her head and suddenly decided to see if she could run into the poor Dr. Alan.
...
After finishing a day's work, Alan prepared to go home as usual.
After meeting Alice, he finally understood that what his wife was carrying was not the fruit of their love, but a monster.
But he was helpless about it; he couldn't even tell his wife.
With a heavy heart, Alan packed his things, rented a carriage, and went home.
—As expected, there was another unfinished ice cream in front of Vilma.
Will Ansetin seemed to really like ice cream... This thought flashed through Alan's mind. He quickly changed his shoes and greeted Vilma with a smile as if nothing had happened:
"Having ice cream again?"
Vilma nodded and smiled, "Since I got pregnant, I found ice cream to be delicious. I never noticed it before."
"Yeah, you didn't really like these things before." Alan forced a smile, took off his coat, and approached Vilma.
"People change. You didn't have so many worries before," Vilma put down the ice cream. "Alan, you haven't encountered anything recently, have you?"
Alan suddenly felt an urge to run out the door, but his body didn't obey him. He stood there stiffly, unable to speak.
Vilma looked at him in confusion and asked, "Alan? Why aren't you speaking?"
"I..." Alan opened his mouth and found he could speak again, "I just remembered I left something at the hospital."
"What is it? Something important? Can't it wait until tomorrow?" Vilma asked with concern, approaching him.
"No, it's very important. I have to go back now." Alan stood up abruptly, hurriedly said a few words, and turned to leave, not even bothering with his coat and shoes.
Vilma watched him in confusion but didn't stop or remind him. She just picked up the ice cream and continued eating after he left.
...
Alice wandered aimlessly around the Hillston district. Considering she hadn't had dinner yet, she decided to find a place to eat first.
About ten minutes later, Alice was twirling Fenebot noodles with a fork and reminiscing about rice.
Why isn't rice popular in Ruen... Oh, it seems to be related to the climate conditions needed for growing rice.
Rice requires... yes, a monsoon climate with synchronized rain and heat! But Ruen seems to have... at least Backlund has a continental climate!
Geography knowledge slipped past Alice's smooth brain. She painfully covered her face, warning herself not to think about such things while eating.
...
Alan fled his home as if escaping. He was sure that his abnormality had been noticed by Will Ansetin.
What should he do?
Right, go find her, go find that Brier Rose, and ask her what to do!
Alan hurriedly hailed a carriage, ignoring the coachman's strange look, and got in.
—Of course, he knew he wasn't in a fit state to go out, but he couldn't possibly go back home.
As the carriage started moving, Alan remembered Alice's description of the scene that day. He began to worry that he might suddenly have an accident.
—And as he expected, an accident happened.
...
What's happening outside? It's so noisy.
Alice looked at the remaining noodles, hesitated between joining the commotion and finishing her meal, and decided to quickly finish eating and join the crowd.
She stopped playing the game of twirling noodles with a fork, lifting them, and then unraveling them one by one. Instead, she quickly twirled the noodles and stuffed them into her mouth, finishing the rest in a few bites.
...I'll play next time.
Leaving the restaurant, Alice walked in the direction of the noise. It wasn't far; she could already see the gathered crowd from the restaurant door.
"No, it's not necessary..." Alice heard a familiar male voice, which made her frown and decide to squeeze to the front.
Fortunately, there weren't many people... Alice assessed and skillfully made her way through the not-so-crowded group.
Hmm, this scene... It looks like Dr. Alan's carriage suddenly fell apart.
After observing for a moment, Alice concluded and nodded thoughtfully.
The distressed Dr. Alan noticed Alice out of the corner of his eye and looked at her as if seeing a savior: "Miss Rose!"
"...How about," Alice slowly narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing him. After a moment, she sighed and said, "You handle the current situation first."
...
Being an experienced adult, Alan quickly managed the complicated situation once he calmed down.
But when Alan wanted to say something to Alice, she put her hand to her lips and whispered:
"Shh, He might just want to see me."
