Chapter 5 Dinner Treats
"I mean, there's no turning back from this thing. [Ran^Text^Library] Once you're in this circle, no matter what happens, as long as you're not dead, you can't give up. ”
"Hmm...... Don't worry, I'll stay the course......"
"It's to hold on to death!"
As soon as he opened the book, the white cocoon was knocked by Lite with a fan again, but this time the force was quite small, so he didn't feel pain. But even so, he felt that something would happen sooner or later if he was beaten like this, so he tried to protest: "Can you stop beating me all the time?" ”
"Who are you going to hit if you don't hit you?"
With a natural expression on her face, Lite choked on the callus and had nothing to say, so she silently began to study the contents of the book.
"Take out the book and read it slowly, it's better to be less stunned in this room, after all, you are not the object of its designation."
"Okay, ...... right away"
Hearing this, Cocoon closed the book and followed Lite out of the room.
After this, he spent the whole afternoon studying the two Basic Principles of Magic in his study, while Lite was by his side to guide him, reminding him from time to time that he could not give up.
But fortunately, White Cocoon is still more interested in things like magic, at least there is no rejection, and the book itself is written in an easy-to-understand manner, so it is easier for him to understand.
In the evening, Bai Cocoon couldn't help but sigh, the real magic is really a very large and complex system, I don't want to say it in this movie animation at all, just draw a magic array, or take a magic weapon and recite two spells.
In magic, all kinds of runes are like English words, and the rules of rune placement and chanting are like grammar, if you want to use ready-made magic, you have to learn it, you have to memorize it!
But first, the rules of magic are endless, and there's a limit to what you can remember, so relying on mere memorization is just a door. Only when you have mastered grammar and can "make sentences" and make magic according to the rules by yourself can you be regarded as a real small achievement.
But even if you are proficient in grammar and can create magic skillfully, that is only for individual magic. The reality is often complex and changeable, and trying to solve a problem with just one magic is tantamount to death.
And the combination between magic and magic, there are some ready-made formulas, relying on these formulas to achieve the complementarity between magic.
However, just as physical formulas evolve and increase as physics evolves, so do magic formulas......
All in all, learning magic is no less difficult than learning a language and a natural science at the same time. And if you want to be practical, you have to study at least the equivalent of a university graduate......
"So I said, if you want to regret it, you should do it sooner."
Lite, who was sitting with Erlang's legs crossed and drinking tea, looked at the white cocoon and turned on the table lamp, looking like a scholar, and couldn't help but feel a little funny.
"I said I wouldn't give up!"
After an afternoon of study, Cocoon had already understood the meaning of some of the more commonly used runes listed in the book. I haven't remembered it yet, but I can barely continue to read it.
But Rao is like this, Lita also has to sigh, isn't this guy a genius? Born to learn magic! Of course, she will never say this kind of thing, and it is not a good thing to have inflated self-confidence!
"Ah...... No, I'm going to take a break...... I'm so hungry! ”
After another ten minutes of studying, the white cocoon finally announced a pause, intending to eat something to replenish his motivation.
"Let's go cook ......"
Litha ...... Or maybe Lita's vision touched her flat belly and said.
"Good good ......"
However, as soon as Bai Cocoon stood up and was about to go to the refrigerator to take out the last bit of food for dinner, his mobile phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hey, I'm Lin Echo."
"Huh?"
Seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, Bai Cocoon picked it up without much thought, but unexpectedly came a familiar ...... In fact, it can't be considered a familiar sound.
"How do you know my number?"
"Just look into it."
Bai Cocoon smacked his tongue, thinking that the identity of this policeman was really useful, and he could even find out his own phone number.
"Don't talk about this, if you are free in the evening, I will invite you to have a meal, and ask you something by the way."
I guess it's about the serial murderer again. White Cocoon thought to herself. He didn't think that there was anything else to ask besides this Lin Aike, so he wouldn't have invited himself to a meal just to see how his body was, right?
"Free is free, but ......"
White Cocoon glanced at Lite, who was closing her eyes and recuperating, and fell into a dilemma. Out of curiosity, he really wanted to know something about the murderer, but he had promised to make dinner......
As he hesitated, Lita nodded at him and helped him decide.
"Okay then, when and where?"
"It's at 6 o'clock at the Aijia Restaurant, not far from your house, and I happen to be nearby."
"Okay."
Bai Cocoon thought about it for a while, it seems that there is really a family-friendly restaurant downstairs in his house, and he has been to eat before. Although the grade inside is not very high, the price is relatively close to the people, and the things are very delicious.
Syllable......
As soon as he hung up the phone, the white cocoon was slapped on the head.
"It hurts, it hurts!"
"You weren't calling when you called just now, you were very wrong!"
Litta snorted, then vanished in a blink of an eye.
"Huh!"
"What? If you're going out, of course I can't materialize. ”
Lita's voice came out of her head, and White Cocoon breathed a sigh of relief, tidied up her desk, changed her clothes, and went out.
Ten minutes later, at 6 o'clock, Bai Cocoon walked to the door of the Aijia Restaurant that he had promised on the phone.
"Well, I've got a good budget, right?"
Lin Aike had already stood at the door waiting. At the moment, he was wearing a snow-white cotton jacket with jeans that looked warm, and the cotton jacket and hat were also worn on his head, which was very in line with the characteristics of this season.
"I'm sorry for you...... Anyway, why are you so rich that you still invite me to dinner? ”
"Public money! And don't want me to pay for it myself, anyway, to understand the situation with you is also a job content, and using their money is not a violation. ”
Lin Aike shrugged his shoulders and walked into the hotel first.
"I've only known each other for a day and I'm so close, there must be a problem!"
White Cocoon shook her head, smiled wryly, ignored Lita's sarcasm, and followed Lin Aike inside.
"Hello, what do you want?"
After settling down, the clerk came up with the menu. Lin Aike glanced at the white cocoon and saw that he just shook his head, so he opened the notebook himself.
"Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded pork with green peppers, huh...... Then there is a mustard and shredded pork soup. ”
Bai Cocoon watched her carefully read the menu, thinking that she would order something very distinctive, but when she heard the names of the three dishes, she was dumbfounded.
The clerk didn't have a surprised expression, after all, this is just a home-style restaurant, and customers who come to order food generally don't order particularly good dishes.
"Save a little, although it's not your own money, but the above allocation is not unlimited, it's gone when you run out!"
After the clerk left, Lin Aike explained to the white cocoon with a strange expression.
"No, I feel like your mission is quite dangerous, why are you so poor?"
"The more dangerous it is, the less money you have!"
Lin Aike sighed, then looked around, and after making sure that no one noticed this, she took out a small notebook.
The white cocoon glanced at it and found that there was something written densely on the notebook, because the words were too small for him to read clearly.
"Why do you want to go that way after school that day?"
"Well, why are you asking this?"
The white cocoon looked at Lin Aike with a serious face suspiciously, and Lin Aike waved his hand and said, "I asked you to ask above, you can answer it well, otherwise I won't be able to make a difference!" ”
"That'...... All right. Of course, I go that way because I go home every day. ”
"However, there was already a murder at that time, why are you still alone......
"Huh?"
White Cocoon became more and more incomprehensible, what did this woman want to ask? If it weren't for the other party's official status, he really didn't bother to take care of her.
"That's it...... What do your parents do? ”
"Do you still have to ask me? Wouldn't you find out if you looked into it? My dad died a long time ago, and my mom is missing now, so of course I'm home alone! ”
"That's it!"
Lin Aike picked up the pen and quickly wrote something in the notebook.
"Can you tell me what happened to you that day? By the way, the reason why you didn't get entangled by the police is due to me! ”
Aren't you a cop yourself? Although I wanted to complain like this, the white cocoon still endured it and was not happy to do it.
“…… Help me break free from you that day and go into the alley, but I don't know why I can't get out of it, and then suddenly a man with a skull mask appears, and then I fainted......"
"Oh oh oh? There's a man in a mask? And why can't you get out of the alley? ”
As if he knew some useful information, Lin Aike's eyes lit up, and the whole person came up.
"Yes."
"So, can you describe the masked man to me?"
"This ...... How do you describe that? ”
White Cocoon frowned and thought about it carefully, only to find that he really couldn't think of any useful information.
"I only remember that he was almost 1.8 meters tall, wearing a colored jacket and colored pants, and wearing a skull mask on his head, and I can't remember anything else."
"Okay, okay!"
Lin Aike sat up straight again with a little disappointment, and wrote a lot of things in his notebook.
"Keep your phone on at all times? We may contact you at any time! ”
"Huh?"
Lin Aike closed the notebook, got up and left the position without waiting for the white cocoon to react, walked to the front desk and left after settling the account.
"That's leaving?"
"Nonsense, you're interested in her, and you want her to stay with you to talk about family life?"
"No, it's not ......"
Although it was only in the brain, or precisely because it was in the brain, the white cocoon felt more clearly the hatred of iron and steel in Lita's words.
"Also, don't worry about the woman's investigation, that masked man was completely scared away by me last time, if you don't care about him, he shouldn't be okay to trouble you, but if you're nosy, it's not necessarily."
"Hmm."
For what Lite said, Cocoon knew it. The last time the masked man left, he also noticed that the other party was just worried about his eyes, and he didn't look scared at all.
If he doesn't meddle in his own affairs, maybe he will let himself go on the principle that more is better than less, but if he has to set himself on fire, then there is no way.
"By the way, that man is also a magician, right?"
"It may or may not be, trapping you in an open space where you can't escape, this kind of thing is not something that only magic can do."
