Chapter 1020 - 581: Alice Is Also a Master of Time Management (Part 2)
Alice’s actions quickly caught the attention of the Bureau of Enforcement, but by the time they attempted to recapture the escaped Alice, she had already boarded the train headed to the Saint Realm.
How did Alice buy the ticket without having an identity?
Hey, you’re underestimating Alice’s forger skills.
Not just tickets, using what she observed at the police station, Alice casually forged an entire set of personal information while on the run.
As a result, whether due to bad luck or her inherent trouble-magnet nature, the train had just started when a hijacking incident occurred.
By this time, Alice had partially deciphered the world’s rules and could use some of her powers by deceiving them.
She couldn’t stand the act of bullying the weak, so when she saw the antagonists planning to kill the train’s passengers to showcase their prowess, Alice acted decisively.
However, Alice had only regained a small amount of power, and her actions were over the top; though she didn’t harm anyone, she burned the entire train to a skeleton, leading the villains to believe Alice was some big shot behind the scenes, all bowing to her name.
Seeing this scene, Shen Sui truly couldn’t hold back.
He glanced at the time, did some calculations in his mind:
TM, it’s been less than five hours since I sent Alice to the Starry World, right?
You’ve been a bit too efficient, haven’t you?
The events occurring on this train couldn’t be hidden from the Bureau of Enforcement.
Alice wanted to flee swiftly, but the Bureau was already there, her recovered powers were limited, and she was eventually caught by the Bureau as an accomplice in the hijacking incident.
The good news is, this time Alice ended up in a different prison.
The bad news is... Alice’s next move was to escape again.
She blasted open the prison wall with a fireball, only to stumble upon the Bureau members negotiating joyfully with the train hijackers.
It turned out that the Bureau of the new city the train passed through had long been corroded by the Starry Sky, and the entire city, though harmonious on the surface, had become a territory of the Starry Sky Apostles. Everyone in this city was a Starry Sky Evil Spirit, cloaked in ordinary human appearances, looking just like regular people to outsiders.
Alice was bewildered at the moment.
However, her act of burning the train had indeed made these villains think Alice was one of their own, allowing Alice to once again showcase her flexibility and successfully blend in with this group.
At this time, only seven hours had passed since Alice arrived in this world.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Alice hurriedly used Dawn Power to deconstruct the world’s rules so she could quickly recover her original strength.
During this process, through her analysis of the Starry Sky Apostles, Alice began to gradually understand this world’s Extraordinary System.
Shortly after Alice joined this city, she was assigned to a team disguised as Bureau squad, tasked with leading these people to other cities to cause disturbances and distract the Bureau.
Thus, Alice formally engaged with her true companions in this world, those who had entered the Saint Realm with Alice.
Indeed, the team Alice joined consisted of five people, four were Bureau spies, and the other... was a well-meaning hero just passing by.
Alice took this team to carry out missions, intending to slack off, planning to quickly complete the analysis taking advantage of the business trip, while the others aimed to eliminate Alice, the "Starry Sky Apostle."
[Alice arrived in An City.]
[Alice was reported by unknown individuals.]
[Alice was arrested by the Bureau and incarcerated in the highest-security prison.]
[Alice escaped from prison.]
[Ding! Your Soul Card acquired a new form: Unbindable Alice]
Well, she’s getting more proficient, it’s almost seamlessly executed.
Alice blasted open the prison wall with a fireball, initially intending to flee, but recalling the mysterious ritual the Starry Sky Apostles were conducting in the occupied city, she decided to turn back to the Bureau, planning to rescue her teammates.
This wasn’t due to deep affection for them; it was just troublesome to explain if she went back alone.
When Alice blasted open the Bureau’s interrogation room wall, she saw the Starry Sky Apostles chatting and drinking tea with members of the Bureau.
[Ding! You acquired a Spell Card: Wall Slayer]
[Ding! You acquired a Spell Card: Break]
At this point, Shen Sui couldn’t contain his smile.
He checked the time; only twenty-seven hours had passed since Alice arrived in the Starry World, including ten hours of bed rest and two hours of oversleeping her midday nap.
Twenty-seven hours...
The time’s value is really high.
This day was more spectacular than most people’s entire lives.
Undoubtedly, at that moment, both parties felt very awkward, almost leading to a life-and-death battle.
Fortunately, Alice’s reaction was swift, quickly explaining her identity and resolving the misunderstanding between them.
Though Alice wasn’t part of the official team, similar well-meaning heroes weren’t rare in this world.
As for the warrant, the Bureau considered it perfectly normal.
It’s common for those who just gained Extraordinary Power from the Starry Sky to cause some chaos while testing their abilities, and hero warrants are common as long as they don’t harm innocent bystanders.
And so, Alice naturally joined the team tasked with annihilating Shadow City.
They disguised themselves again as the Starry Sky Apostles’ sabotage squad, planning to return to Shadow City to continue lurking.
However, these people underestimated Alice.
Does Alice appear to be a patient person?
Though she chose to help out of goodwill, she set a timeline in her heart, aiming to find Claude’s old residence before Claude returned.
So...
Alice returned to Shadow City that afternoon.
She set fire during the Starry Sky Apostles’ sacrificial ceremony that evening.
Perhaps because causing trouble could accelerate Alice’s analysis progress, this fire completely integrated Alice’s power into the Starry World’s Extraordinary System.
Dawn Fire exhibited its terrifying aspect at that moment.
All order and rules became fuel before the raging fire, the flames igniting the entire Shadow City.
Shadow City was reborn in the flames.
[Ding! Your Soul Card acquired a new form: Apostle Slayer Alice]
[Ding! You acquired a Spell Card: Burning]
[Ding! ...]
Accompanied by the raging fire, numerous Life Cards precipitated.
At this point, only forty-two hours had passed since Alice arrived in the Starry World, not even two full days.
Including travel time, Alice was almost constantly encountering accidents and incidents.
You Wenqi had reviewed Alice’s related reports.
Even though he didn’t witness Alice’s two-day triumph over Shadow City through the Dueling Device, merely seeing the report made it hard to believe.
Where did this time management master come from?
He felt for the first time in his life that three days were so abundant, allowing a person to accomplish so much.
Then followed the commendation meeting, where Alice deliberately tripped You Wenqi, snatched his seal, and then forged a Bureau certificate, leading a group of teammates from Shadow City into the Saint Realm.
Forget You Wenqi; even Shen Sui was in disbelief seeing Alice’s activities these past few days.
It felt as though Alice’s value was continuously rising...
Now, Alice was heading towards the Starry Sky under Vivian’s guidance.
Wait a moment!
Suddenly, Shen Sui sensed something unusual.
"Did you activate Time Acceleration?" Shen Sui looked up at You Wenqi.
"No..." You Wenqi replied halfway and suddenly realized what Shen Sui meant.
Alice spent a total of three days in the Starry World.
Translating this time into real-world terms should have been nine hours.
But their entire match duration was far from nine hours, let alone the fact that Alice departed for the Starry World midway through the match.
The time flow in this area was also peculiar!
