The first floor was a mess, and the eye was greeted by a huge wooden table, crowded with books and spread parchment above and under it, the edge of the desk, quill in an inkwell, shivering dangerously under a pile of books that looked like they would collapse in the next second.

On the walls hung several skins from various animals, each so intact that it looked like the animal had committed suicide and then been skinned in a leisurely and meticulous manner.

Alice tentatively shouted again, "Mr. Cheshire Cat? ”

Still no response.

Alice sighed not too disappointed, and began to find a place to settle in the cluttered mountain of books.

It was hard work, and Alice suspected that the owner of the house had not even thought about getting out.

Alice looked for a long time and still couldn't find a suitable place to stay, so she bent down and picked up a book and put it aside, so that she found a place to stay.

After walking seven or eight steps, Alice was finally about to reach the stairs, and Alice breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, little girl, watch your feet!" An annoyed voice shouted out angrily.

Alice was startled, looked around and asked, "Who?!" ”

"Feet! You stupid stinky girl, I said feet! The muffled sound continued, and Alice reacted and lifted her right foot.

The place where he landed was supposed to be on the floor, but at some point, a translucent book appeared with a face on the book cover.

To be exact, there are two eyes and one mouth.

Alice squatted down and picked up the book, stroking the book cover apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't see you, I remember there should be no books there." ”

Transparent Book coughed twice: "Of course, because I am an invisible book, and no one can see me if I don't want to." ”

Alice blinked in confusion: "But, Mr. Transparent Book, aren't books just for reading?" If no one can see you, then the book is useless. ”

The Invisible Book snorted coldly: "Who said no one reads?" I'm just picking people who are qualified to read me. ”

Alice nodded knowingly, "I see." ”

Then he put the book aside casually, and made sure that there were no other books in the previous foothold, and then stepped on it.

The Invisible Book was in a hurry: "Wait! Little girl! Why did you just leave? Don't you want to see me? ”

Alice turned around and asked with some confusion, "But you said that you are waiting for someone who is qualified to read you?" Can others watch it too? ”

The Invisible Book choked and slowed down before saying, "You are also a qualified person." ”

"Ahh Alice nodded, then bowed politely, "Thank you, but I don't have that much time to study now, and I have to save my friend, and for that I have to find Mr. Cheshire Cat." ”

After speaking, she continued to walk forward, and she could get out of this mountain of books with only two more steps.

"Wait! You said you were looking for a Cheshire cat? The Invisible Book cried again.

"Yes." Alice replied, then came back to her senses and asked with some excitement, "Do you know where he is?" ”

The Invisible Book snorted proudly, "Of course I know, he only became what he is by seeing me." ”

Alice tilted her head: "What is it now?" Where is he now? ”

The Invisible Book coughed lightly, "It's upstairs, but I don't recommend you go up now, because you won't find him if you go up." ”

"Why?" Alice was a little puzzled: "Actually, I've called my name several times at the door and in the room, why don't you answer when someone is home?" ”

If the Invisible Book had a brain, it must be covered in sweat by now, because his voice was panicked to death: "Something is wrong with him." ”

Alice sighed, "If you're not mistaken, this trouble has something to do with you." ”

The Invisible Book laughed dryly: "How can you say that? It's obvious that he didn't control it himself. ”

Alice turned around and picked up the invisibility book again, and said, "So what is the problem with Mr. Cheshire Cat?" ”

The Invisible Book struggled, and the pages flew to a halt two-thirds of the way.

Alice looked down and saw that there was a kind of text in the book, which she did not recognize, but could read the metaphor: "From invisibility to nothingness?" ”

The following is a series of explanations, containing various principles and materials that Alice could not understand the meaning of the words.

When Alice roughly skimmed through the contents, the invisible book surfaced from the open page: "That's what went wrong here, that stupid cat is lost between invisibility and nothingness, if you go up now, you can't see anything, because they are in the same place but can't see anything, they can neither touch others nor be touched, and they can't be spoken." ”

The Invisible Book paused: "In a sense, he has completely disappeared. ”

Alice smiled bitterly: "How long has he been like this?" ”

The Invisible Book smiled: "It didn't take long, only about a month." ”

Alice begins to doubt the Invisible Book's concept of time: "He can't be dead, right?" No food or drink for a month......"

"Of course not." The Invisible Book said categorically: "Don't say it's a month, even if it's a year or two, it's impossible to starve to death, he is now separated from this world, unless this world is finished, he will redefine it, and then end it together." ”

Alice sighed, "But even if you say so, I can't help much?" I'm just an ordinary little human girl. ”

The Invisible Book laughed: "No, no, no, you're not an ordinary little human girl, you're Alice." ”

Alice wanted to ask something with some confusion, but her expression suddenly changed to indifference, and even her voice became cold: "What do I need to do?" ”

The invisibility book was a little uncomfortable by this sudden change, and twisted his body before saying: "Actually, it's very simple, you only need to go to the second floor to reconfigure an anti-stealth potion, although the stupid cat has escaped into nothingness, but there is still a hand tail, just push back along this point." ”

Youzhu nodded, brushed the spine of the book, and turned to the beginning.

The Invisible Book couldn't help but say: "Little girl, even if you are Alice, you can't figure out the principle in such a short time, as long as you do what I say, ......"

"Shut up." Youzhu interrupted the invisibility book with a calm expression.

The invisible book choked up, and although he looked indignant, he really didn't say anything, just waiting for the little girl to make a joke and then beg him.

Sure enough, as he expected, Youzhu turned the book quickly, which can be called ten lines at a glance, which is not enough to understand the content at all, but his expression is still serious.

It didn't take long for Youzhu to finish reading the entire book, not only two-thirds of the way to the invisible book, but also the rest of the content.

Then he walked upstairs without hesitation, not even caring if there was no place to stay under his feet, and he didn't care about stepping on a few books.

The space on the second floor is a bit cramped compared to the first floor, much like a wizard's house in the ordinary sense, such as a huge crucible, an inexplicable arthropod soaked in a jar, or a shiny powder in various small bottles.

However, unlike the chaos on the first floor, the second floor is quite well organized, and all the containers are carefully labeled with corresponding names.

But the most conspicuous thing is the remaining cat tail next to a chair.

From time to time, it looks like it's not dead, and when I saw Youzhu appear very excited, I rushed over, and my tail was swinging wildly, as if I was talking to her about something.

Hardcore "leaves the hand tail".

Youzhu touched his tail, but he touched it empty, retracted his hand and stopped looking.

The tail wagged wildly for a while, and it seemed that he had found that he could not communicate, and retracted to the ground in frustration.

Youzhu didn't care about the tail, and after looking at it, he found the location of the experimental table.

Standing in front of the experimental table, Youzhu scanned the equipment and materials, reflexively returned to the shelf, and retrieved three bottles of powder, a bottle of liquid, and a piece of fur of an unknown creature.

The invisible book was also brought up by Youzhu, and it was now placed at the far end of the test table.

It couldn't help but be a little frightened when it looked at Youzhu's movements: "I said, Alice? You're not going to make your own, are you? ”

Youzhu glanced at it like a fool and then withdrew her gaze, and her hand moved smoothly.

The Invisible Book also knew that the question he asked was stupid, but he really couldn't put his mind at ease, although Alice's movements were very skillful, which surprised him, but the configuration of potions was not enough to be skillful, a deep understanding of magic and the analysis of physical properties were the most important.

These are the lessons of time, and even if it directs Alice to make a blend, there is no guarantee that it will succeed, let alone such a pure novice can do it by perfunctorily flipping through the book.

It was more worried about whether Alice would hurt herself than if it didn't succeed, and potions weren't a joke.

But it was clear that Alice would not allow it to interfere, and it could only watch in horror as Alice finished the various materials one by one.

As far as this part of the technique is concerned, the invisible book can be given a ten, and at the same time, there is a faint contempt for the Cheshire cat in his heart - he has been working on things for so long and no human girl has read the book well - even if this girl is Alice, so long magic is simply alive in the belly of a dog!

However, what made him feel uneasy was that some of the materials seemed to be different from what he remembered, and he asked with a bit of luck, "Alice, are you sure you have chosen the right materials?" ”

Youzhu nodded calmly: "Of course." ”

It's just a simple anti-hidden potion, which she would have configured before, and after the arrival of her cohabitant, she also improved the formula herself.

The Cheshire Cat's problem may seem complicated, but it may be even more complicated in practice, but it's not really something she needs to take care of.

The rule here is that she understands it better than her cohabitants, all she needs to do is give a method that seems to work, and the rest will go smoothly.
