Lévy has always believed that luck is essential for success. Even a simple commission that doesn't seem challenging can be done without enough luck, at least you can't have bad luck.

That kind of situation when luck seemed to be playing a joke on him, and every move didn't go his way, Levy hadn't encountered it, but he had seen the kind of person who seemed to be cursed. For example, the hedgehog-headed boy in the school city who has to be careful when he goes out every day.,It's a miserable guy who makes people feel pitiful when they see it.、And I'm glad that I'm not as bad as his luck.。

Actually, Lévy also likes to visit temples, churches and other places. But he never went to those places to pray for blessings, just to see what the buildings looked like. After all, it is true that religious buildings often cost time and money because of the devotion of their believers, and often produce those stunning and even shocking gorgeous buildings.

Compared with the modern but somewhat cookie-band high-rise buildings, not only Lévy, but also the travel route designers of those travel agencies, don't they also like to use distinctive religious buildings as the necessary places on the itinerary?

"Although I don't think this kind of so-called prayer can make much sense, even if the gods do value their followers, but the gods with few believers are not capable enough, and the gods with many believers cannot take care of the prayers of so many people...... It gives me the feeling that those humans may not really want something substantial from the gods. ”

"That's right, like you said before, a lot of those people just wish they had a little luck. You don't even need a lot of good luck, just don't stick to bad luck. ”

Levi knew that Gensokyo was also home to a number of gods. As the 'diplomatic representative' and 'pharmaceutical salesman' of the Eternal Pavilion, Suzuzen has almost always had some encounters with as long as she is not a weirdo who is too difficult to contact. Alice is not as 'well-traveled' as Reisen, but she at least knows the more famous gods in Gensokyo. Listening to her means not only to know, but also to know some of the 'work' of those gods.

"If human beings are so afraid of bad luck, why do they like to collect these ancient things? After all, aren't these things that have been handed down for a long time what they call 'things used by the dead'? I have heard that no one wants to live in the houses of people who have died unfortunately, so why don't they care about these things?"

Alice blinked and tilted her head, as if she didn't understand the contradictory behavior of human beings.

"This ...... It is not wrong to say that these antiques are the things used by dead people. ”

This statement made Levi sweat a little when he heard it. He's never been interested in collecting antiques or anything. But it also seems to be a little empathetic.,Embarrassed for those who were wrapped up in Alice's words.。

"Some items that have been circulated for a long time and have experienced many special events are likely to be just ordinary things, but they have slowly bred 'bad luck' or even 'resentment'. There are even some items that will spawn souls by chance, which is often referred to by humans as 'resentful spirits'. Possession of such an item, according to the theory of human luck, should bring them bad luck or even bad luck, right?"

Alice continued. What she said are legends that human beings only rely on word of mouth, but there is no way to verify them. But Alice lives in the paradise of the monsters in Gensokyo, and must have seen a lot of items like the one she described, with resentment and even resentful spirits bound inside.

In fact, Lévy has also encountered something like what Alice said it was. Last year, he received a commission to solve the haunting incident. At that time, the resentful spirit, which had not yet hurt anyone, but which had caused a large family to sleep, was a wooden handicraft that the host of the family received from a friend as a gift, and was said to have been purchased from an African tribe.

"I think it's probably because most people who like to collect antiques are not the same people who are afraid of bad luck and go to pray to the gods and goddesses, right?"

Lévy also knows that human beings often have many contradictory words and deeds. But for the kind of thing Alice said, there should be few people who are so conflicted.

"That is, those who like to collect things used by the dead are what humans call atheists?"

I don't know why Alice is so fond of the phrase 'dead people's used things'. Fortunately, Levy really has little interest in antiques, and he has never deliberately collected antiques at home. If an antique lover hears her say this, no matter how beautiful the girl looks like this, people may not be able to stand it.

"They don't have to be atheists, some just don't really understand what you're talking about. Although I also think that there may be gods or gods in this world, things like monsters and ghosts are also 'I think there may be', and I don't seriously consider the truth of these things. ”

Alice listened to what Lévy said as if she didn't understand. She didn't quite know what this 'believe and don't believe' idea was all about. But Alice doesn't bother with the details, she is not the kind of girl who is particularly curious, otherwise she might still stay at home all day and not go out? And people like Alice, who have quite good strength, often can't help but find out.

But Alice wasn't the kind of person who was easily interested in anything. I talked so much to Levi, a ghostly ghost and religious believer, today, thanks to the 'tacit understanding' that the two of them cultivated in the past year when they were locked up in the enchantment.

Alice is not a talkative and sociable person, and although Levi is not like her, he is not the type of person who likes to talk to others when he has nothing to do. If it weren't for that special situation, I'm afraid that the two of them would really live under the same roof like they are now, most of them will live for two or three years, and they will not be as familiar as they are now, and they can say a few words casually to make Alice open her mouth.

The change in mindset caused by the two outcomes of 'force' and self-choice is a very subtle thing. Alice likes to stay at home, but one day she finds herself unable to go anywhere but her home and the surrounding forest. Although this does not seem to be much different from her usual daily life, it still has a considerable impact on her mood.
