Chapter 71 Chapter34 Warning
Someone interfered with Evelyn Greenland's fate.
After realizing this, Alice immediately thought of the real reason why she received the prompt: "The other party's real target is me?"
Of course, this sentence is impossible to receive an answer. It is better to say that if someone answers, Alice will be shocked.
After asking this question, Alice disguised herself and went out quietly - she decided to take a look at Evelyn.
Yes, Alice suspected that this was an influence from the "fate" field, which can well explain why the other party did not directly attack her - maybe it was a bit difficult to start?
Of course, the main reason why Alice was so suspicious was that she suspected that this was a warning.
After all, she stayed in Sequence 7 for too long. If the purpose of the mercury snake needed to wait until she was promoted to a certain level before it could be achieved, the other party might be dissatisfied with her unhurried attitude?
Although in fact, she was just waiting for materials.
Even with the guidance of divination, it is not an easy task to find someone in such a large Backlund.
Alice first came to the Jowood District by subway - this is what the dream told Alice.
Of course, the information in the dream must be more than this, but since we have to take a public carriage, it is better to confirm it on the way.
Alice stopped a public carriage and said to the driver: "Go in this direction, and I will tell you how to go when you need to turn."
Although the customer's request was a bit strange, the driver did not ask any questions and did it smoothly according to Alice's words.
Sitting in the public carriage and guiding the driver to find the direction, Alice missed the existence of shared bicycles for a moment.
... It is really not convenient to take a taxi for this kind of thing!
Alice did not come out early. When she saw Evelyn, it was already dinner time.
After signaling the driver to stop, Alice paid and got off the car, and mixed in the crowd to approach Evelyn.
When she was still some distance away from Evelyn, Alice confirmed her guess - this was a glaring warning to her.
The other party didn't bother to hide the fact that he had manipulated Evelyn's life. The bad luck that stuck to her was awkward and disgusting. The most disgusting thing was that Alice couldn't do anything about it.
However... it didn't look like the hand of the mercury snake, but rather like a novice... It felt like a children's collage. Maybe it wasn't that he didn't bother to hide it, but that he was too unskilled to hide it?
Alice's eyes flickered slightly, and she glanced at the sky and decided to have dinner first.
- It's not that she didn't intend to care, but there was no way to pull off the bad luck, and it would be useless even if she tried to stop it.
Rather than waiting for Evelyn to get into trouble somewhere at any time... it would be better to let her run into that monster!
However, although the bad luck on Evelyn didn't seem to be fatal, Alice still didn't dare to let Evelyn run into the monster alone.
After all... among all the factors that might affect Evelyn's fate, Alice happened to be the variable that could not be arranged.
…
The night fell quietly, and Evelyn took a brisk step and set out on the road home…back to her aunt's house.
Alice had already changed into flat shoes, put on a black and gray hooded robe outside, and followed quietly behind.
There were not many pedestrians on the street at night. Alice didn't know why Evelyn was delayed so late, but it didn't matter, this was not the point of this matter.
Evelyn's brisk steps in front gradually became hurried. Alice noticed that she didn't know what she had discovered. She was no longer as excited as before, but instead had a hint of nervousness.
She... Alice, who noticed this, didn't have time to think about it. Evelyn suddenly turned back and scared Alice. Fortunately, she was hiding in the shadow of the corner and was not discovered by Evelyn.
Evelyn, who didn't get anything from turning back, gathered her clothes, glanced around suspiciously, and continued to move forward hurriedly. The briskness in her original steps had completely disappeared.
…Could she have discovered me?
Alice suddenly realized the reason for Evelyn's behavior. Well, it's not that she confirmed that someone was following her, but... that kind of subconscious uneasiness?
In order to prevent Evelyn from looking back for the second time, Alice became more cautious in following her, and she fell further behind - after all, she was not worried about losing her.
This decision was both right and wrong - the right thing was that it did effectively prevent Evelyn from finding her; the wrong thing was that the nervous Evelyn turned around and ran after seeing the demon dog, knocking Alice down at the intersection.
But the demon dog would not give them a chance to get up from the ground.
Facing Evelyn's frightened face, Alice secretly thanked herself for not following her with Briar Rose's face, otherwise, her identity as a Beyonder would be revealed.
Of course, this face did not belong to Alice Kingsley, after all, the Greenland family were all believers of the goddess, and the Nighthawks had the means to inquire in dreams.
Alice didn't want the fact that she was still alive to be exposed through Evelyn's dream at all.
But this is not the point now. Looking at the demon dog that was about to fall from the sky, Alice reached out and held Evelyn down, and rolled her to the side to avoid the demon dog's claws.
Then, while the demon dog was adjusting its posture after landing, she pushed Evelyn out and shouted, "Run, go to the Church of the Night!"
"Church... Be careful!" With Alice's strong push, Evelyn successfully distanced herself from the demon dog. After hearing Alice's words, she regained some sanity. Just as she was about to say something, her pupils suddenly contracted and she shouted at Alice.
Alice had already rolled out before she shouted.
She didn't bother to answer Evelyn's questions. She turned around and faced the demon dog that had temporarily stopped because of two missed shots, and began to think about what to do.
——She didn't think that a revolver could kill the behemoth in front of her.
Alice and the demon dog were in a weird confrontation, and the atmosphere suddenly stagnated. Evelyn moved her body uneasily in this atmosphere.
This successfully made the demon dog notice her. Alice saw the demon dog retract its hind legs, stretch its front legs, and push hard...
Time seemed to slow down at this moment. Every step of the demon dog's movement was clearly displayed in front of Alice, as if it was an animation that was broken down into frames. Alice could even calculate its subsequent muscle contraction and stretching and the final landing point.
Wait, not as if.
"Gululu--"
That distant, unknown sound rang again.
Since Huanhuan's friend's name is actually the name of my relative OC, I suddenly asked her a question today
: If you travel through time and become her, do you still have to take the college entrance examination?
Now I have an inexplicable worry
Well, I just found out that I used the wrong onomatopeia at the end of the first volume. It sounds like drowning. . . . .
Chapter 2 may be late, please bear with it
