Chapter 184 The Rolling Dice

"She" makes sense, but since Shade has an idea , naturally has its own considerations:

"As long as I try Mystic Art when I roll the dice, in theory, the probability of luck acting on Mystic Art is very high."

He Looking at the street view in the heart said.

[Don't mention the probability that you mentioned acting on Mystic Art, but what if the result of the dice is unfortunate? ]

"That's what I'm going to say, I've been thinking about this a long time ago, and in principle, it's possible."

Shade walked across the street, Pretending to be talking to pedestrians, but with most of his thoughts in his heart, he came up with a rather bold idea:

"You once said that you were able to bounce back the attack from fate and thus bring bad luck to you. Twisted into good luck."

[Yes, but no one is attacking you right now. ]

"No one rolls out luck, naturally nothing happens. But if it is unfortunate, this unfortunate will affect me, so can you bounce back to luck?"

He asked cautiously, and then heard her sweet laughter:

[Very good idea. ]

is also feasible.

[But stranger, do you remember the sentence written in the script. ]

She is probably in a good mood at the moment, and the tone of the question is also pleasant. Shade reminisced about a few weeks ago, when the streetscape before him was bleak in the mist, the gray look and the strange smell in the air were the norm in the city. He stands under the sky:

"It's written there - maybe people think they can control their destiny, but they don't know it's already in it"

Trying to control destiny, but so The dead "heart collector" explained this sentence very well.

The woman in my heart is still chuckling:

【You can try to throw the dice, if you are lucky, you will be fine; The misfortune bounces back to the dice itself and not you. That way, you don't have to worry about what happened to the Heart Collector. ]

"But."

he thought.

[However, this dice will be damaged, and the damage is temporarily unpredictable. And apart from this, manipulating fate, something unfortunate will happen to you, this is the price, you understand? Fate has never been fair. ]

"Understood, and the lower the number, the more damaged the dice, the more terrifying my future misfortune, and it must be higher than the luck that I got by manipulating fate. Not much."

He touched the metal box with the dice in his pocket, and the woman's voice was very soft:
【Are you sure, you want to take a risk for a stranger? this time, not for your friends. ]

This sentence really speaks to the hesitation in Shade's heart, and he really has nothing to do with this matter. But looking towards the store, the single mother who was still anxiously inquiring about the people around her, thought of the reports on the "missing children" series that she saw in the newspaper, and finally thought of the generous rewards of MI6:
"You Said that I was an audience member on the stage, a bystander. But no one stipulated that the audience could not forcibly change the ending they did not like. I am sure of what I want to do, and I have always been certain. Some things can be regarded as not seen, but some Now that things have happened, there is no reason to turn around and leave. Do you want to stop me?"

[Of course not, I said everything is up to you, foreigner. But you don't have to worry about bringing the most terrifying bad luck. For you, under normal conditions, it is absolutely impossible to roll 20 or 1. ]

"Why?"

The laughter became more and more obvious:

[Do you think you are Iluna Beas? That's the power of the protagonist on the stage, and you don't even have a role on the stage. In my opinion, it is normal for the numbers you cast to float up and down around 10. ]

The thoughts in his heart are very firm, and the expression on his face is no longer hesitant. Knowing that impossible was the worst outcome, sighed in relief inexplicably in his heart, he convinced himself.

In her laughter, Shade took out the metal dice from the box with a determined expression and threw them into the sky. While the dice was spinning in the wind, he stretched out his hand and spread his palm flat, and the twenty-sided dice fell steadily in his hand, as if metal was attracted by a magnet.

Shade's ears heard the unmistakable voice of the strange woman, the voice of the past, with a disguised contrivance:

"Boy, do you want some candy?"

At the same time, there is the sound of the sugar paper being twisted.

The foreigner lowered his head and looked towards the dice, the corner of his mouth trembled, and the number was 9:

"I knew that impossible was always good luck."

【From One to twenty, and from twenty to one, the twenty-sided dice of Fate is slightly damaged, not affecting all traits. However, if a similar move is performed again, the dice will be completely destroyed within two times. ]

"I heard the clue."

He looked towards the place where the voice came, the boy was talking with the strange woman, it was the street in front of the candy store. Pedestrians are passing by now, but dozens of minutes ago, the child who was taken away was deceived here.

[Then just wait for the doom that will surely come. ]

"It's only nine, which is slightly below average, so bad luck It shouldn't be too much?"

Shade got no answer, just heard laughter.

Now that the decision has been made, Shade has no regrets. He kept Mystic Art running and then got Mrs. Maria Cook.

I simply explained that I learned from the pedestrians that a little boy followed a young woman a few minutes ago. Mrs. Cook followed Shade forward as if grabbing a life-saving straw, while Shade listened to the direction of the voice and footsteps in her ear, and followed the direction of the sound little by little.

Because once Mystic Art is canceled, it will be difficult to find a lucky time, so Shade has maintained the use of Mystic Art in the subsequent search.

Because of this, all the voices he heard were more than ten minutes away from the current time. So even though he has been chasing the sound in the noisy ambient sound, he and the woman who took the child will always remain misaligned for more than ten minutes.

Shade's hope is that he will be able to take Mrs. Cook until he finds a place to rest.

The specific area of Tobesque is definitely not inferior to the big cities that Shade has seen in his hometown. Although the development level of productivity is shackled by the times, Tobesque, as the pearl of the north, is only a few dozen years old. Years of influx of people, forcibly doubled the city's outward expansion.

The greatest Great Accomplishment of the steam age is the steam train, connecting all corners of the old continent. Tobesque station is the most important transportation hub in the north of the old continent.

Originally planned, the station was located on the edge of the city, but as the city continued to expand, Tobesque Station was gradually surrounded by the city. But according to the Tobesque Evening News, the city hall is planning to build a new station in the south of the city to separate the stops for freight and passenger steam locomotives.

In short, regardless of the risk of using Mystic Art for a long time, Shade took Mrs. Cook to stop and go in the northern city of Tobesque, occasionally pretending to be spying for information and asking passers-by, and gradually, they Approaching Tobeysk Station, also located in the northern part of Tobeysk.

It took more than half an hour to get here from Queen Mary Street. Arriving in the block near the station, police officers in neat uniforms were found patrolling the vicinity, and even soldiers armed with guns were seen maintaining order.

There are so many people around here that Shade can hardly find the boys and women he is looking for from the complex voices.

I just remembered that this Wednesday was the day when Queen Diana cut the ribbon for the newly opened East Hall of Tobesque Station.
