Rick was worried about whether he would not be able to enter the house, but when he returned to the door of the mansion, he saw that the door was open. Varu and Miss Gino stood in the heated area of the door, Hana behind them. The two men at the door looked anxiously at the road. When Varu saw Rick appear, he quickly ran down the steps, checking his eyes up and down to see if Rick was missing any body parts.

"Are you alright? Did you encounter a monster?" I heard a monster screaming!" asked Varu.

"It's fine. That monster only scratches beautiful women, and I'm not a beautiful woman. After saying that, Xike deliberately looked at Hana. Before he entered the light range of the room, Hana in the bright area could not see him, and when he had already seen Hana, Hana's expression was very relaxed. Her eyes squinted slightly, like the ease she felt when she had just put on her nail polish or lipstick, a look like she had finished her business. When Syk appeared, her face tensed, her eyes widened, and she pursed her lips. Obviously, it was something she didn't expect to be able to return to.

Valu breathed a sigh of relief, and Gino turned to Hana and snapped, "You shouldn't have let Syk walk down the street in the middle of the night. Even if it's not a dangerous time like now, when there are no monsters, you can't do it! The weather is so bad, you didn't even give him anything to keep him warm! Xike is also an employee of my family, if you treat him like this, what will others say about us, can you be responsible?"

When Gino scolded Hana, it was to make Hana feel the seriousness of the problem, so he threatened Hana with "what others will say" that Hana would care about, not that Gino himself cared about this kind of thing. Gino's particularly picky reproach lines were full of validity, Hana's body trembled slightly, and hurriedly daoqian: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. 」

At this moment, Syk realized that his position in the house had changed, at least not as miserable as before.

"Come in, it's cold outside. Varu said kindly. Rick is willing to comply.

"Miss Hanna, where are these things going to be kept?" said Rick as he took out the spell materials he had bought in a brown paper bag.

"Follow me. Miss Hana wanted to shout at Rick, but she couldn't do so in front of Gino, so her tone became stiff.

Vick happily waved to Gino and Varu, and followed Hana away with small jumps.

Gino and Varu closed the door and locked it, wondering what Rick was happy about.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Seeker followed Hana into the studio, and Hana actually asked Rick to sit down, and she took the paper bag herself and divided it into its place. It's rare to see her at work.

When Syk tidied up the studio, everything was in its place and not moved, but Hana couldn't find what she was looking for. And Syk told her, "The clean wrapper is on the top of the shelf, and the jar for cutting the grass is on the second layer, on the left, on the left. The lower drawer opens with a dispensing silk bag. 」

Hana put the things back into place one by one under the command of her assistant Syck, and at the same time asked Silke in a very sweet voice, a girlish tone, "You really haven't encountered a monster?"

The way she spoke reminded her of the guys who caught people on the side of the road and forced them to sell skin care products.

Rick also replied in a sweet, greasy tone, like a grandson pestering his grandparents for toys, "Actually, I did, and I didn't want to worry them about Valu, so I didn't tell them. 」

Hana's shoulders tightened, visibly gasping. She said in a tone that coaxed picky eaters to eat eggplants, "So you slipped away, didn't you?"

"No, I beat him up. He slipped away. He's weak, and if I run into it again, I'll be able to get rid of it. Rick laughed and said, "If you allow it." I think that tomorrow we will start ambushing them in the streets in the middle of the night, and if I can eliminate the harm for the place, the image of our family should be greatly improved. You can be said to have guided me. 」

"No!" Hana screamed. She quickly changed to a soft tone and said, "I'm afraid you'll get hurt. Don't do such a dangerous thing. Xiao Horn is no longer at work, and I only have you as an assistant, and I can't let you take any risks. 」

"Okay. Rick said. He didn't bother to pretend to be cute anymore, and returned to seriousness, and accidentally revealed some of his disdain for Hana: "It's late, I'm going to get off work." Also, because I am working overtime today, I have to take a compensatory day off tomorrow afternoon, and I will come over in the evening. 」

"Okay, no problem. Good night and a good rest. Hana allowed with a smile. She clasped her hands at her sides, wiggling only her arms and waving at Syk.

"Good night. Rick said. After leaving the studio, Syk stuck his tongue out against his chest, which was disgusting.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Syk took a shower and returned to the attic room. He checked to make sure his luggage hadn't been touched, then sat on the bed, hugging the quilt and thinking.

Syk was almost 100% sure that Xiaohorn's death had something to do with Hana, and that the monster had something to do with Hana. But Hana looks like she doesn't know that Horn is dead. Today, when the monster stopped Xike, Hana helped him, and the main messenger behind it was the man in the top hat who had a secret meeting in Hana's office.

Rick jumped out of bed and used all his strength to cast protective spells on every place and corner of the room. At this time, if there were people outside, they should see that his room was so bright that it looked like it was on fire, and it would suddenly darken and shoot out a strong light.

Now this is not just anti-theft, for the safety of his own life, Xi Ke has arranged this place as a fortress on the battlefield. He calculated the movement of the room, and used all the damage spells such as Acid Spray, Otherworldly Devouring Mouth, and Flame Field, and set it to wait for it to be triggered. Anyone who sneaks in may die in an instant. Although it was said that because he had never locked the door, it was not very kind to the people who ran in, but Xi Ke didn't care so much.

When all was set up, the interior of the house looked the same as before, showing no signs of spell casting. Rick looked at the gray room and let out a long sigh.

Xi Ke wanted to live a stable and ordinary life, so after the amnesty, he chose to work hard to live a law-abiding and good life. As a result, the room had to be set up as a battlefield to sleep. He really should have resigned sooner.

Rick glanced at the little speaker on the ground. They had spent so many nights together, and Rick had to step over him every time he went in and out, and every day he kept preventing himself from talking to the little horn. What he sleeps, wears, uses, and even eats a little bit is all from Xiaohao. Little Horn exists in every corner of his life here. There was already a revolutionary feeling between him and Xiao Horn, and he couldn't throw Xiao Horn in this cold (heart and temperature) place, and walked away by himself.

Xike struggled for a while, and Zuihou decided to go to sleep.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The next day he got up before dawn, hung a ball of light under the ceiling, opened the window, set up a brazier, and began to bake the leftovers of the banquet that he had hung outside the window.

He eats the hot leftovers while reading Xiao Horn's book. The collection of books collected by Xiaojiao is full of solid content, spanning several fields. Some of the books had already been read, but he still read them again to see if he would find any clues to Xiao Horn's death. He was going to flip through it quickly, but he found that he accidentally fell into the book three times and twice, and couldn't help but start reading it carefully, and turned forward to find the relevant paragraphs. Xiaojiao's vision for book selection is very good, these books have systematic knowledge, and the key points must be explained clearly, and they will not be scribbled with the terms, showing that the author does not know how to pretend to understand.

Xi Ke was ruthless and asked himself not to pay attention to the content. He flipped through them one by one, and in the pile of good books, a novel that was not nutritious suddenly appeared. This kind of worthless fictional story, Xi Ke originally wanted to jump over, but he was worried that he would miss a clue, so he opened it and read it.

The book is not very well written, either. The protagonist of the story is a mage at the bottom of the social pyramid, with a cheap mouth, a thin appearance, a lewd expression, and a hunger all day long. Aside from trying to fill his stomach, there seemed to be nothing else important in his life.

Just by looking at this setting, Xi Ke knew that this book must not sell well. Xi Ke has a little understanding of the novels on Hanna's shelves with the top of the sales charts of such and such a daily newspaper written on their waists. He knows that the so-called protagonists are a group of handsome men and beautiful women, plus the blessing of various cheating abilities that have nothing to do with hard work.

If they do research, they must have discovered the new jishu ahead of the entire shijie in less than one-tenth of the time of others. This one-tenth of the time is still counted by others from the time they graduate with a Ph.D., and they start counting from the time they learn to write their first equation.

If they are in business, they must not try to raise the initial start-up funds like others, but they are born with a large amount of money, or there is a business in the family that has long dominated Shijie waiting for them to inherit. Therefore, they don't have to lower their profile to pull customers everywhere or grab large orders from other manufacturers.

Things like that, basic for the protagonist of a best-selling book. In comparison, this book、This protagonist is simply a passerby!

In addition, the protagonist finally knows a set of spells that others can't, but it doesn't seem to be much easier to use. At least fifty times stronger than the spells that everyone else is learning in the background of the story, and be able to use the lowest level spells to defeat the greatest mages of our time in order to attract readers.

The most unbelievable thing is that none of the female characters in the whole book fall in love with the protagonist! This violates the most basic iron rule of the novel: "Every person of the opposite sex must fall in love with the protagonist", and the author deliberately threw the money into the ditch.

As he read page by page, all kinds of coincidences kept happening, causing the protagonist who was not interested in anything other than eating to be involved in the center of the incident. Xi Ke really doesn't understand this kind of uncreative thing, and Weishenme can also publish a book.

When Rick sees the end of the story, he realizes that this book may be the key.

In the ending, there is a mage who blows up his house into a big hole.

Xi Ke turned to the copyright page of zuihou and saw the date of publication: almost three years ago. It was when the last servants of the family were all dismissed. Is it possible that one of the people who lost his job couldn't find another way out, so he adapted the real events into a story and sold them?

The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was possible.

Rick flipped through the book again, reviewing the plot inside.

The story revolves around a mysterious male mage who says he is going to conduct a very complex study and hires a poor protagonist to gather materials for him. There are many spell-casting scenes in the story. The spells written in the book just sound very flashy, and the settings of the magic circle and spell materials are too exaggerated, and the author himself should not know how to spell.

After a series of attacks, rescue activities, and deep dangers that are necessary for the novel, the mage finally reveals the true face of the spell he wants to cast.

That's a gender transition spell. He studied this spell because he fell in love with the same sex and wanted to change his gender, and Zuihou spell went out of control and caused an explosion, and he was also buried in it.

The setting of this part is in line with reality. Gender conversion spells are very dangerous, and the approval of the Staff of Light is required to conduct the relevant experiments, and that review requires very strong site security measures, and it is almost impossible for an individual studio to pass. Gender conversion spells are cutting-edge crystallization of conversion spells. Transformation spells are spells that reorganize matter, and the most classic example of this, which is included in the basic textbooks of mage training, is to make pure water from the air. This case conforms to the laws of physics and chemistry, so it is a "safe" conversion spell. "Unsafe" conversion spells can easily cause accidents where the mass of the base matter suddenly turns into magical energy—in short, an explosion.

The Gender Conversion spell is one of the most dangerous conversion spells. Because it is converted in units of deoxyribonucleic acid, the overall structure of the human body also changes when such a small transformation is carried out. At the same time, there are two extremely unsafe conversion spells working on the same lifeform, which is dangerous enough, and if you want the effect to last, even the soul blueprint has to be modified, which is another spell that is difficult to stabilize.

Due to the high risk of gender transition spells and the great disaster when out of control, the very rare announcement of the Man of Light stated that people should not seek magic assistance if they have relevant needs, and should have scientific sex reassignment surgery and hormone treatment performed by a qualified doctor.

If this is the unexploded bomb that is gradually taking shape in the house now, I am afraid that few people will survive.

Rick flipped the novel a second time, making sure nothing important was missing, and then moved on to other serious books. He fell into the abyss of intellectual curiosity again and again, and almost forgot what the purpose of his reading was today.

Before the house was blown up with the books, he had to find a safe place to put them, except for novels.

Xi Ke read one by one, and suddenly he picked up an empty shell, and the pages inside did not know where to go. Nick picked up the empty book case and looked at it, and the title of the book on it was "Safety Rules for Transformation Experiments". The pages of the book were rudely ripped off, and even the inside of the case was torn off. There were huge scratches on the inside of the case, as if they had been scratched by several sharp objects side by side.

The person responsible for the death of the little horn probably thought that this was the key. I don't know if it's a problem with my brain, but instead of taking the whole book, I only took the pages. This empty book case just proves that the novel is really the key.

Xiao Horn was killed because he touched the secret of this place, and he was arranged to commit suicide.

He then pulled out the only non-fiction book he found in Hana's office and flipped through it. When Hana drove him to the studio, he took the book with him.

The title of that book was "The Shackles of the Skirt." It was a translation book, a book that talked about the persecution of women and gender inequality in a distant foreign country. Although it wasn't in the area of Xike's interest, he just watched it. He noticed that there were a lot of eyebrow critics in the book. Those crooked words are Hanna's words, yes, he has seen them on the receipt. But those eyebrows are not simply reading experiences, but are written for someone who is "going to read this book". The eyebrow critic wrote in every place where it was written about how women were socially limited by their natural sex, "The limit that a woman cannot surpass is a racial gift." When it was written that men were also being forced to be more socially responsible than women because of sexism, the eyebrow critic said, "This is a man's right." When the author writes about how her husband helps her help other women, the eyebrow critic does not interpret this as a sign of love and recognition of fairness and justice in the author's heart, but rather as "It's just a man's whim." 」

The critics have very strongly twisted this book that calls for equality between men and women into a book about how women should be hostile to men. It seems that Hana deliberately distorted the author's original intention in this way, so that she could use the book to make someone think wrong. Because most people think that publications and foreign authors are very powerful, this kind of work will be more acceptable than Hana directly saying those wrong thoughts.

Rick also found that several pages were glued together and could not be opened. He soaked it in potion and patted it dry, separating the pages. He found that the pages were the author's description of the infighting between feminist groups. Regarding "feminists attacking and smearing other feminists," he said that those people "just hope that if there were no men in this world, their lives would be better." These pages tell the story of how feminism cannot be infinitely high, and how women can hold on to feminism while still being happy (and having a bunch of children) with men. These pages make it clear that feminists should work with men, not against them. Since it is said so clearly, it is impossible to distort the author's original intention with eyebrow criticism.

Rick didn't know what the people who glued these pages together had in mind.

Tick pressed the book to his face and smelled a perfume that wasn't Hana's.

After that, Xi Ke happily fell into the sea of knowledge, and immersed himself in reading until it was time to eat Chinese food.
