Mystery: Lucky

"Yes," Alice nodded, "What do you call yesterday?"

This...Klein rarely raised any objections to Alice's name. He nodded thoughtfully and said, "Actually, it's okay..."

They finally settled on the name "Yesterday Returns". When mentioning the whereabouts of the spell, Klein rejected Alice who just wanted to play with it and decided to enclose it with the letter to Mr. Azik.

Before this letter was sent, Alice witnessed Sherman taking the "witch" potion and becoming Sherman. She was instigated by Triss to seduce Viscount Stratford and investigate who he was really loyal to.

She relayed this matter to Klein. After a moment of hesitation, Klein motioned for her to continue observing and told her:

"If things develop, please let me know at any time, and...be careful."

Alice knew what he was referring to. After all, Triss still had Trissqik's name on her name. It was hard to say what the situation was so far, so Alice waved her hand and said:

"Seriously...you can always trust me when it comes to escaping."

...it's true.

The corners of Klein's mouth twitched for a moment, but he didn't speak anymore. Instead, he told Alice about the relationship between Triss and Viscount Stepford.

This was the news he got when he used Senor's secret puppet to reach a brief cooperation with Triss. According to Triss, she came to avenge Prince Edsac, and Viscount Stepford was... He was the one who forced Prince Edsac to commit suicide by taking poison.

"In other words," Alice touched her chin, "Triss wants to find out who wants to kill Prince Edsac... But, is she just going to let Viscount Stepford go?"

Klein pondered for a moment and then said:

"I think she just didn't tell Xie... Sherman her real purpose.

"In your description, she seems to be very naive. The reason Triss instigated her is that after changing gender, she can start a new life with a new name..."

"Yes," Alice shook her head, "for this purpose, she killed many people."

Klein stopped talking this time. Of course, being instigated was not Sherman's intention, but killing people is a fact. Instigation only magnifies the evil in people's hearts and does not come out of nowhere - this at least shows that Sherman is not a completely harmless little white flower.

As for what kind of person she was, Klein didn't think about judging. He just felt a little emotional:

"You know, I'm worried right now...

"This script feels very familiar to me. I remember that at that time, Triss also approached Prince Edsac in a reluctant manner. Although that was because... but the ending of the matter was, Triss truly fell in love with Prince Edsac and planned to avenge him.

"Now, under her instigation, Sherman began to approach Viscount Stepford during the struggle and seduce Viscount Stepford..."

The corners of Alice's mouth twitched and she couldn't help but add:

"That's probably even worse...Triss was originally a man, and her psychological cognition should have always been that of a man. She...forget it, if he wants to fall in love with the prince, he must first overcome a psychological difficulty, but Sherman is different.

"Sherman always thought that she was a woman, but she was born as a man by mistake... Even now, she just feels that she has finally changed back to a woman, and she will not have any psychological burden if she falls in love with a man!"

They looked at each other and had a bad feeling.

Another important news came from Miss "Justice". Hwen Rambis met "Justice" Audrey Hall, the earl's daughter, again after a long absence, and asked her to investigate the nobles' involvement in a large-scale war. manner.

The news was not unexpected. At most, Alice could confirm that the "Psychological Alchemy Society" was indeed a puppet organization of the "Twilight Hermit Society"... Oh no, maybe their leader thought he was independent.

Thinking of this possibility, Alice shook her head and turned her attention to Sherman.

This girl does not belong to the group of witches who have never forgotten their male identity. She was obviously very surprised by becoming a woman, and she kept doing some very "feminine" behaviors during this period - to use a more modern term, her behavior was very consistent with Female stereotypes.

Alice was surprised by what she saw. Most of her knowledge of similar behavior was online. She probably knew that it involved the psychological problems of some special groups. She didn't know much about it in depth. It was the first time she had seen the live version.

But after watching too much, Alice's attention still couldn't help but drift away, for example...

In the light rain, Xio was wearing a simple sap raincoat, hiding in a dark corner, staring at the side door of Viscount Stratford's house.

At this time, it was not yet evening, but the gas street lamps had been lit one after another, emitting circles of hazy halo in the rain.

She had been spying on Viscount Stratford for several months, both for MI9 and of her own free will.

This was not only an opportunity for her to obtain the "Judge" potion formula, but it was also related to her purpose of coming to Backlund - to investigate the truth behind her father's death!

The other intelligence officers of MI9 had already ended the mission on their own without anything happening in the previous few months. Even the initiator of the mission had not asked about the relevant matters for many weeks, and it was obvious that he no longer cared about it.

She had recently discovered a mysterious woman approaching Viscount Stratford. Since she could not see her face clearly, she had been trying to investigate the identity of the woman. Today was obviously an opportunity. A taxi stopped in front of a remote side door. , a woman walked down from above.

The viscount's male servant who was hiding in a sheltered place immediately jumped out and opened an umbrella.

He protected the cloaked woman who got off the carriage and quickly passed through the side door, while the rented carriage stopped there and did not leave, as if it had collected enough money.

Hugh was not depressed, and it was difficult for her to be depressed. At this moment, she was only terrified because she heard a voice:

"'Judgment'... um, Miss 'Judgment'? I have seen you several times. Can you tell me what you are doing here?"

This is the voice of Miss Destiny!

"Judgment" turned her head suddenly, and a blonde girl had stood beside her at some point, approaching her, observing the carriage in a posture that was almost the same as hers, and muttered while watching:

"It seems that you can't see anything from this angle, but it doesn't seem that you are following the viscount because... um, are you following the viscount?"

"Judgment" Hugh felt that all the hairs on her body stood up. She opened her mouth with difficulty and asked tentatively:

"Miss Destiny?"

"Hmm?" Alice raised her eyebrows.

It's Miss Destiny...

Xiu didn't relax much. In the description of "Magician" Fors, Miss Destiny was particularly concerned. She had heard most of the public deeds of this lady, so she also knew that the identity of a Tarot Club member was only half a talisman in front of this lady.

And it had to be in the presence of the Fool.

The good news is that Miss Destiny doesn't seem to kill indiscriminately, but... you may die from carelessness after Her whim.

However, why did Miss Destiny appear here... Is it related to Mr. Fool?

Xiu frowned, thinking and speaking:

"I took on the task of MI9. The other party asked me to pay attention to the people who contacted Viscount Stratford and submit each one to him in the report."

She didn't say anything about her father.

Alice nodded thoughtfully, frowned and murmured:

"MI9? Why is MI9 also investigating? The person you reported the contact with... It sounds like the purpose is similar..."

After a pause, she looked at Xiou and asked:

"How often do you submit your reports? Do you still keep the reports you submitted before?"

Xiou was stunned for a moment and asked, "Do you need it?"

"Maybe," Alice shrugged, "I'm... uh, I'm helping 'World' investigate something..."

Helping "World"? It turned out to be Mr. "World"?

Xiou's eyes flashed with surprise. She knew that the relationship between "World" and Alice was unusual, and she also knew that "World" seemed to be ordering Miss Fate around - she really couldn't find a better word, but seeing it with her own eyes, Xiou still couldn't hide her surprise.

Alice frowned under this look and decided to save some of her face:

"It may also be helping Mr. Fool... Anyway, this matter is very complicated.

"So do you still keep the report? "

Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9Ⅰ书Ⅰ吧 (六\\\\\\九\\\\\\书\\\\\\吧!)

Xiu nodded slowly and said, "I can write it down for you."

Alice agreed, but then it was Hugh who had the problem. After hesitating and struggling, she finally shouted to Alice who was about to leave:

"Miss Destiny, do you...mind if you tell me what you are investigating? I mean, do you know anything about Viscount Stratford?"

Alice stopped and squinted at her: "A mission of MI9 is ​​probably not worth your sacrifice? Do you want to investigate Viscount Stratford yourself?"

Xiu pursed her lips, Alice was not anxious, she stood there waiting for Hugh to speak, after half a minute of silence, Hugh took a breath and said:

"Viscount Stratford was originally the chief of the palace guards, he used to... used to be my father's deputy. "

"Your father? "Alice frowned.

The topic had already been opened, so Xio could hesitate for a while. After closing his eyes, he recalled:

"Yes..."

"My family belongs to the court aristocracy. When it was the most prominent, I even served as the earl of the palace. This is equivalent to the external spokesperson of the royal family and the aristocrat closest to the throne.

"Since then, our family has the fiefdom that a real earl should have. When it comes to my father, although he is no longer so prominent, he is still trusted by the previous king, William VI, the 'strong man', and is the commander of the royal guard and the chief of the palace guard.

" "But seven years ago, he was accused of participating in a rebellion and was eventually sentenced to death by hanging, stripped of his title and fiefdom.

"My family fell into ruin because of this, and many members even died for no reason. In order to survive, we changed our surnames and left East Tucker County...

"I don't believe my father would rebel. He was so loyal to the royal family, even more than his faith in the goddess! In order to... In short, I left my mother and brother and came to Backlund, looking for opportunities to improve myself, hoping to restore the glory of my family and the reputation of my father."

Xiu had said this to Fors once before, and it was not as difficult to speak again. Moreover, saying this now might help her find out the truth, so at the end of the words, Xiu's face was full of expectation.

After a moment of silence, Alice asked an irrelevant question:

"Can I ask how tall your father, your mother, and your brother are?"

Xiu's expectation was shattered, and turned into an expression of shame, anger and humiliation. She was about to say something, but Alice suddenly made a hush gesture, a mysterious smile appeared on her face, and she looked at the manor, and said in amazement:

"It's amazing... a witch was deceived by a man's lie that he wanted to get married... Haha, this is really...

"It seems that I and... well, our guess has come true... Tsk, one or two are like this, I don't know about other witches, anyway...

"Is Chick a love-brain?"

These words were inexplicable, and Xio was confused, and her emotions quickly dropped from the previous state. She tried to interrupt and said:

" The carriage that just entered, was the one sitting in it a witch?"

"Ah," Alice turned her head to look at Xiou, "Well... to be precise, a 'witch'? However, this 'witch' is a little different..."

She paused, and then spoke in a strange tone:

"Have you seen such people? They don't seem to be very common, that is, they think they should have been a person of another gender, but they were mistakenly reborn in their current body... The 'witch' inside is such a person.

"She thinks she should have been a woman, but was mistakenly born as a man, so when she knew the existence of the 'witch' potion, she did not hesitate... well, to this step."

In Alice's words, Xiou's face became strange again, and she asked cautiously until Alice's voice fell:

"Can I ask what the name of the witch you mentioned is?"

"Sherman," Alice blinked, "She calls herself Sherman. "

"Sherman..." Xio felt that her breathing was about to stop, because she had a friend who happened to be a woman who thought she was born as a man by mistake, and she also happened to give herself a female name, which was Sherman!

There is no such coincidence in the world. She spoke in great shock, with a difficult tone:

"I have a friend...

"He... No, her name is Sherman. She thinks she is a woman and gave herself a name called...

"Sherman."

"Huh?" Alice frowned slightly, "What a coincidence... This Sherman was also called Sherman before?"

After the voice fell, Alice curled her lips again and sneered:

"Should I praise fate or insult fate? Oh no, I'd better praise it, because it seems that I would even scold myself..." (End of this chapter)
