Chapter 47 Chapter11 Face-shaping and renting a house
After getting the necklace, Alice began her face-sculpting project.
Alice was not worried about having a strange look. As someone who had systematically studied painting, Alice had a very accurate grasp of the details of her appearance.
Alice first ruled out the option of changing her figure - this would inevitably affect her actions, and she couldn't wear the necklace all the time.
Alice first decided to change her hair color from bright and dazzling gold to dark brown, and then, considering that Brielle Rose's age on her ID was 19, Alice decided to design her face to be more mature.
"But this body should still grow taller..." Alice hesitated and looked down at her body.
The specific age of this body cannot be determined, but it is suspected to be fifteen or sixteen years old. If the guess is true, this body should still have some room for growth.
Alice secretly made a note of this incident and planned to wear height-increasing shoes when she went out in the future. After finding a place to live, she would mark her height line barefoot. She would compare it every time she came back. If there was a clear sign of height growth, she would lower the soles of the shoes a little.
"The heels don't need to be too high, just to make the height change not too abrupt... Well, what else?"
Unable to think of more precautions in a short time, Alice held a pen and began to design her facial features, face shape and many other details.
The chin was pointed and the flesh on the cheeks was reduced a little, and the original immaturity was diluted a lot.
Next, it was the facial features. It was still a bit difficult to design a pair of facial features out of thin air. Alice decided to accept Charlie King's advice and refer to the existing template for modification.
But who to refer to was a huge problem for Alice.
After a brief thought, Alice turned out a face from her memory that she was very familiar with but could not have a prototype in this world-the friend who asserted that she would be a natural "monster".
Of course, this face is quite different from Loen's appearance style. The facial features Alice finally adopted were based on this face, which was a modified version of Loen.
After carefully memorizing the appearance she designed, Alice first checked out of the room, and then changed a new face in an empty alley.
- Next, it was time to rent a room.
Although the goddess's attitude was not clear, considering that Ince Zangwill was only Sequence 5 and could beat her without any chance of fighting back, Alice still had a strong trust in the goddess who allowed her to stay among the Nighthawks to familiarize herself with the situation and finally let her go, and kindly reminded her.
- She decided to become Briar Rose, a devout believer of the goddess. I mean, she decided to live in the North District.
"After all, if you want to become a disaster priest, this uncontrollable unlucky physique will accidentally hurt civilians..."
Alice subconsciously ignored that even if the Nighthawks could not recognize her after changing her new face, she was now a genuine wild Beyonder.
Thanks to her ID, Alice walked into the Metropolitan Housing Improvement Association with a clear conscience. Klein had warned her that the so-called "Working Class Housing Improvement Association" did not even provide independent bathrooms.
When Alice stepped into the Metropolitan Housing Improvement Association, a middle-aged woman with a kind smile came up to greet Alice: "Hello, young lady, you can call me Mrs. Maggie. What kind of house do you need?"
Alice did not avoid Mrs. Maggie's gaze. She recalled her identity information and said with a little arrogance: "I don't know."
Alice's unreasonable and confident answer made Mrs. Maggie's smile pause for a moment, and then she skillfully opened the document and pushed it in front of Alice: "You can take a look first... Um, do you live alone?"
"Yes, I live alone." Alice responded dryly, and she flipped through the confusing document aimlessly - she found that she had no ability to distinguish rental information at all.
"Do you have any requirements for the location of the house?" Mrs. Maggie asked considerately.
"I am a believer of the goddess - I mean, I hope to be closer to the church, uh, not too close." Alice answered like a savior.
"You can take a look at the houses in this area," although she didn't understand why Alice emphasized not to be too close, Maggie still introduced, "These houses are relatively close to the church, which is convenient for you to go there for daily prayers. Well, there are some particularly close ones here..."
After the selection range was narrowed down, Alice looked through the documents again, but... it was still useless.
"...Do you have any requirements for the environment and rent of the house?" Maggie had to ask again.
"I... uh," Alice looked at Maggie blankly, "I'm not sure..."
Facing Maggie's patient and kind smile, Alice's voice became smaller and smaller. She realized that a guest like her was really embarrassing the lady in front of her.
But it must be said that the identity chosen by Charlie King was really too consistent with Alice. She didn't need to disguise herself to cater to the information of this identity.
The only time Alice should be thankful is that she has not yet drunk the potion of the Disaster Priest. At this moment, she is still a "lucky person" - Madam Maggie in front of her has the patience that matches her appearance.
"Let's do this," Maggie said after a moment of silence, looking at Alice, who seemed to be going out alone for the first time (in fact), and smiled, "We can first exclude these three-bedroom and four-bedroom houses - is that okay?"
"No," Alice looked at Maggie gratefully, "I think I need a study, or a studio or something like that... uh, it's better to have heating inside."
Maggie nodded, and excluded some rooms from the document, and then said: "Then, we have very few targets left. Let me introduce the remaining rooms to you in detail..."
After Maggie's introduction, Alice finally decided to take a look at a townhouse on Welsh Street first.
It takes about half an hour to walk from here to St. Samuel's Church, and it will take faster if you take a carriage.
This house has a living room, but it is not big, but Alice thinks she doesn't need to entertain friends - she believes Klein won't care about this formality.
In addition, it has all the necessary rooms - dining room, kitchen, living room, balcony, study, bathroom, basement...
"The furniture here is a bit old, and, uh..." Alice's first attempt to bargain ended in failure under Maggie's gentle smile.
In the end, she paid the deposit and the rent for half a year for 30 pounds at a price of 1 pound a week.
Why so late? Because I went out to see a movie (eyes moved)
