Chapter 408 The Villain Lady Arrives 237
"What's going on?" Alice was secretly surprised. She didn't know where this power came from, but she knew that this was her last chance.
She quickly got up from the ground and chased in the direction where the shadow assassin disappeared. She knew she had to find him and find out what was going on.
She walked through the dark streets and came to an abandoned warehouse. She found that the door of the warehouse was ajar and there was a low conversation coming from inside. She quietly approached the door and listened.
"Shadow Assassin, you did a great job." A deep voice said, "You have successfully defeated Alice and made great contributions to our organization."
"That's what I should do," the Shadow Assassin replied, "But I'm curious, why did you let me get close to her?"
"Because we need her strength." The deep voice said, "She has a powerful energy in her body. This energy can help us realize our plan."
"What plan?" asked the Shadow Assassin.
"You don't need to know this for now." The deep voice said, "You just need to continue to serve us, that's all."
When Alice heard this, she understood everything. She knew that she had been used by the organization behind the scenes, and the Shadow Assassin was just a pawn in their hands. She felt a strong surge of anger and humiliation in her heart.
She flung open the door of the warehouse and rushed in. She saw the shadow assassin and the owner of the deep voice - the real leader of the organization behind the scenes.
"You bastards!" Alice shouted, "I will make you pay the price!"
The leader was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect Alice to suddenly appear. He quickly drew his weapon and prepared to fight Alice. However, Alice didn't give him a chance. She quickly gathered her strength, then rushed forward and released all her strength.
A dazzling light burst out from Alice's body, instantly enveloping the warehouse. The leader and the shadow assassin screamed and were swallowed by the light.
When the light faded, the warehouse had become a ruin. Alice stood there, her eyes full of determination. She knew that she had finally avenged Tariq and fought for her beliefs to the end.
However, she also knew that this was just the beginning. Although the organization behind the scenes had been destroyed, their shadow still loomed over the entire city. She had to continue working hard to completely eliminate this shadow.
She took a deep breath and set out on a new journey. She knew that there were more challenges and difficulties waiting for her ahead. But she also knew that she was no longer alone. Because in this city, there were many people like her who were fighting for justice and belief.
Alice embarked on a new journey, but her heart was gradually shrouded by an indescribable haze. Every step forward seemed to be carrying a heavy burden. She felt as if she was entangled by some invisible force, and bad things happened one after another.
She was inexplicably hit on the shoulder by a piece of rubble that fell from the sky in a narrow alley; when she was looking for clues, the clues that were within her reach always disappeared without a trace at the critical moment; even when she was dining in a seemingly ordinary restaurant, she was involved in a melee due to a sudden dispute. These sudden misfortunes made Alice wonder if she was really cursed.
"What on earth is going on?" Alice sat in a run-down hotel, rubbing her aching shoulders and muttering to herself. She looked out the window at the gloomy sky, feeling confused and helpless. She knew that she couldn't just let bad luck defeat her, and she had to find a way to solve the problem.
So Alice decided to look up ancient books to find clues about luck and curses. She remembered that there were records about the attributes of luck in ancient magic books. Perhaps there was a way to relieve her misfortune.
The next morning, Alice left the hotel early and went to the city library. The library had a rich collection of magic books. Alice walked between the bookshelves, carefully looking for books related to luck.
Finally, in a remote corner, she found an ancient book called "The Secret of Luck". The cover of this ancient book had turned yellow, but the words on it were still clearly visible. Alice carefully opened the pages and began to read carefully.
The book states that luck is not something that is innate, but can be enhanced through specific magic rituals or items. Among them, a gem called "Lucky Stone" is hailed as a symbol of luck, and it is said that wearing it can bring good luck. However, this gem is extremely rare, and the process of finding it is full of difficulties and obstacles.
"Lucky stone?" Alice muttered the name in her heart, with a determined light in her eyes. She knew that no matter how difficult it was, she had to find this gem to get out of her current predicament.
Just as Alice was immersed in the world of ancient books, a sudden voice interrupted her thoughts.
"Excuse me, are you looking for information about lucky attributes?" A middle-aged man in a gorgeous robe stood beside Alice and asked with a smile.
Alice looked up and saw that the man had a handsome face and his eyes were shining with wisdom. She couldn't help but feel surprised, wondering how this man knew what she was thinking.
"Yes, I'm looking for information about lucky attributes." Alice nodded and answered truthfully.
"Oh? Then you have found the right person." The middle-aged man smiled and continued, "My name is Alex, and I am a magician who specializes in the study of luck. I happen to have a lucky stone in my hand, and maybe it can help you."
Hearing this, Alice couldn't help but feel excited. She didn't expect that she would be so lucky to meet a magician who studies the attribute of luck, and also have a lucky stone.
"Really? Then are you willing to lend me the lucky stone?" Alice asked eagerly.
Alex smiled slightly and shook his head: "I can lend it to you, but you have to tell me first, why are you looking for the lucky attribute?"
Alice couldn't help but hesitate when she heard this. She didn't know whether she should tell Alex about her experience, after all, he was just a stranger. However, looking at Alex's sincere eyes, she finally decided to open her heart.
"Actually, I've been very unlucky recently. No matter what I do, it doesn't go well. I'm even being hunted by a mysterious organization." Alice sighed and told Alex all her experiences.
