Chapter 20 Warning
"So, you divined that the coincidences you experienced were all arranged?" Above the gray fog, after listening to Klein's description, Alice once again recalled the fear that had been calmed down.
She soon realized the reason why Klein found her - when it comes to coincidences, what could be more coincidental than the process of her becoming a Beyonder? Besides...
Alice suddenly realized that even if she was eager to find her memories and past, she had never thought of divine clues in this regard, even though she had realized that this matter was not simple.
If she... The scream that suddenly exploded in her spirit stopped her thoughts. She realized that there was a huge danger hidden in divination - and this also showed that the coincidences in her and Klein were not the same source.
Alice gathered her thoughts, she looked at Klein who was waiting for her to think, and whispered: "The other party's target should not be you."
"Not me?" Klein was extremely surprised. In fact, before calling Alice, he had thought of several possibilities, one of which was related to his crossing. As a result, Alice now told him that he was a little self-indulgent, which made him feel a little subtle.
"Wait, how do you know it's not mine?"
"Because the captain... Hey, wait," Alice blurted out, and suddenly realized that this was a place where she would not be targeted if she told the truth. She was confused about the origin of this place again, "Where is this place?"
Klein answered with an expression that he didn't know either.
"...Okay," Alice sighed helplessly, frowning as she organized her words, "Let me think about how to tell you..."
"I first found something wrong with the captain... Well, starting from one day three years ago, I don't know how to describe that feeling, like a shadow or a transparent thread, in short, something omnipresent and invisible entangled the captain. The master behind it guided the captain's fate, and gradually left only death in the captain's future."
"So, the person who arranged all this, the target is the captain?" Klein asked, "Why don't you tell others, but..."
"Because when I was outside, I had a hunch that as long as I said it out loud, I would be discovered!" Alice frowned and explained her reasons, "But I think the target of the person behind it is not necessarily the captain..."
"What is that?" Klein asked.
"I don't know, uh, it's just my feeling, intuition, do you understand?" Alice tried to explain her special way of reasoning to Klein-most of the time she looked for evidence with answers, rather than reasoning the results based on evidence.
Reason told Klein that this was a rather imprecise reasoning, but the intuition of the Beyonder was sometimes not just as simple as intuition. He decided to put some trust in it. After all, Dunn did not look like a deep-rooted enemy who would secretly plan for many years just to make him die without a trace...
"By the way," Alice looked at the silent Klein and felt that she should still remind him, "I don't know why it won't be discovered by the people behind the scenes if I say it here, but you'd better be careful here... Have you ever thought that you are now like the one in your metaphor, the one who sneaked into the castle, and the guards don't know where to hide."
Klein froze slightly. Although he was not like Leonard, who was complacent about his own specialness and thought he was the protagonist of a certain era, but if you want to say how vigilant he was about Sefirah Castle, he was actually not... He even relied on Sefirah Castle a little at times.
Alice sighed helplessly and asked Klein: "Do you remember how I became a Beyonder?"
"Cough." Klein coughed lightly to control his expression.
"Well, it seems you still remember it," Alice didn't mind it at all, after all, she was used to it, "What do you think it looks like?"
"Hmm?" Klein looked at Alice in confusion. He didn't understand why Alice brought up this matter.
"That unlucky courier - I mean the lucky one who died, his resume was mediocre all the way. He was like a courier who was specially selected just to deliver this extraordinary feature to me!" Alice described her feelings to Klein, "But, have you ever thought about who the sender was?"
"... related to the truth of your time travel? That girl?" Klein asked uncertainly. He still couldn't forget what Alice said at the beginning - the girl who said to him "You are simply a born monster."
"I don't know," Alice replied, "but the most terrifying thing about this matter is not this. In fact, until today, I have never thought of fortune-telling about this, even though I care about this matter very much - guess why I didn't think of it?"
"Spirit, calling the police?" Klein made a reasonable guess. This is the most likely answer for a supernatural being, but it also made him more frightened - what kind of existence would not even be able to try fortune-telling?
"Every gift of fate is secretly marked with a price." Alice said softly, but even though she advised Klein like this, Alice still did not realize that her reliance on intuition and luck was also proof of her peace of mind in enjoying the "gift of fate".
Despite this, Alice still issued a final warning to Klein: "Not only the guards, but also the real owner of the castle... You sit in the position of the castle owner, dress like the castle owner, Justice and the Hanged Man regard you as the castle owner, if one day the castle owner replaces you, will they know?"
This chapter is relatively short... I am not feeling well and can't continue writing today. I actually wrote the last chapter yesterday... Anyway, let's just leave it at that. Let me rest for a while
