If there is a museum in the world that loses its collection and does not go to the police to report it, it can only be said that the lost collection of this museum is a fake, and if it is reported, it will let people know that this museum does not live up to its name, and there will never be tourists to spend money to buy tickets to enter in the future.

The information sent by Kuroki Ganya didn't say what the reputation of this museum was, let alone whether the things in this museum were mostly fakes or real historical relics. But if what happened here was indeed not a supernatural event, and if you think about it at such a high level, even the monitoring and security measures throughout the museum can't find the slightest clue thief, it shouldn't be a stupid thief who can't even figure out whether the things he stole is worth anything or not, and whether it's useful or not, right?

"There's nothing wrong with this room. ”

Lévi led Alice to another gallery with a collection of ancient eating utensils, and after a round around, he didn't think there was anything special to note.

Although Levi was almost sure that if there had been a thief here, the skilled thief must have stolen his target, and it was impossible for Alice to sense most of the 'unknown special energies' that no longer existed like Alice had just done stupidly.

However, if a museum loses a priceless antique and doesn't report it to the police, another plausible explanation is that no one in the museum, from top to bottom, knows that one of its collections has been stolen.

It is said that some art and antique thieves have indeed stolen the real thing and put the counterfeit back to hide it. There are even some groups that are professional gangs, and among them there are very professional counterfeit manufacturing personnel, who work together to commit crimes in secret, but they don't even know that the owner has been recruited.

If the burglar who patronized the museum was Lévy's guess, or perhaps the one he 'hoped'. So is it likely that the fakes he left behind to use to mix up the pearls also have a special energy that is different from the real thing, that is, the 'guiding force' that Levi is looking for everywhere right now?

Lévy walked through Alice's room-to-room room. Because Ryoko Asakura had carried out information operations on monitoring and security equipment such as Ryoko Asakura, the two of them didn't have to worry about alarming the newly hired security guards of the museum who were actually staying in the security control room at the moment. The leisurely appearance of these two people, if it weren't for the dim indoor lighting, it really looked like ordinary tourists who bought tickets to come in to watch during the day.

Although the dim lighting is mostly a plus for a man and a woman. But in a place like a museum, where there are quite historical antiques displayed everywhere, as Lévy said at the beginning, it has a horror movie atmosphere, and it is estimated that even a man who violently pursues the lover of his dreams may not be willing to bring his dream lover to this kind of place.

"Why do humans like to collect these things?"

In an exhibition hall where all sorts of what looked like vases and the like, Alice stared at a pottery vase with an intricate pattern carved on it, and said that she didn't seem to appreciate the beautiful looking vase.

"Why do you like to collect such things? Doesn't this vase look good? Even if you don't like to grow flowers and flower arrangements, it's a good decoration to have a beautiful vase at home as an ornament. ”

Listening to Levi's answer, Alice immediately shook her head.

"This vase is pretty beautiful, but I mean, why would humans like to collect such ancient things. ”

Probably because she had just been cute, Lévy didn't expect Alice to suddenly ask such a question that sounded quite profound, thinking that she just didn't like vases.

"When I was in Gensokyo, I often went to the earth. Although in fact, even if I have been there many times, I have not had much contact with the humans living there. However, from some of the festivals that humans often celebrate, and the festivals they held, it can be felt that they are not pursuing faith, but most of them are to ward off bad luck and bad luck. ”

The so-called belief in the gods of some human beings is not a true faith, but a very secular 'exchange' for the pursuit of luck and bad luck. Levi didn't expect Alice, who didn't have much contact with humans, to be able to see this. You can see through the seemingly very devout human beings in various ceremonies and rituals, and the object of their devotion is not actually the gods they worship, but the luck and happiness they are pursuing. I don't know if it's because Alice is too simple and simple, but she can directly see through the psychology that some humans themselves may not be aware of. It's really not easy for such a girl who claims to have been a human being.,But I've never had much contact with humans since the beginning.,It's really not easy to live in human society.。

"You're right, there are a lot of people who don't really believe in a god or a certain idea. They just hope that through a ritual like 'faith', they can get the blessing they hope for from the gods. ”

Levi is not a particularly tourist person. But because of his work, he also travels a lot, and he has been to no less places than those who are keen to travel. The most common tourist attractions he had seen were, of course, religious buildings such as temples, churches and temples around the world.

In the religious buildings scattered all over the world, Lévy could always see many people who did not have a clear belief in the religion, praying or praying for blessings like those of the true believers around him. These people probably don't even know the gods they worship in their temples or temples, and they may not even be able to name the gods they worship. But they still hope that their actions will be rewarded with the blessings of the gods.

Levi felt that the behavior of these people was quite worth complaining about. But I don't look down on these people much. After all, as a mortal who has a hard time controlling the direction of his life, even Levi sometimes laments his fate. Those who are more powerless hope that they will get good luck can't be considered a bad thing that is not right, right?

Some successful people will blame those who have not succeeded, sarcastically saying that they do not work hard to achieve their own success, but instead hope for ethereal luck to be lazy. However, such people do not think about how much of their success depends on their own strength, and how much of it also depends on luck that he believes has nothing to do with his success.
