The next second, he sensed the abnormal state of his clone again; the temperature rose again, and his emotions became excited.

Hmm, is this what a clone looks like?

They may say no, but their actions tell a different story.

When I get back, I'll definitely give him a good talking-to. Doesn't he know how embarrassed I feel every time he does something like this?

That night, Locke was "tortured" five times. If it weren't for the vine cage protecting his privacy, he would have been completely killed.

This resulted in him being quite lethargic the next day, because he really hadn't slept well.

Eileen also didn't sleep well.

Listening to the sounds Locke made in the vine cage was also agonizing for her.

Of course, there was also something that had just happened, something she had never experienced before.

The next day, both of them had the same dark circles under their eyes.

However, Renis wasn't idle either; she told the clone Ming about how to deal with Dimo.

Dimo has been handed over to the church leadership, with the Life Church responsible for the investigation and interrogation.

If he really is an undercover agent of the Knowledge Cult hidden in the Bureau of Investigation, the Church will convert Locke's achievements into mission merits after finding out.

If he isn't, then he can successfully return to the Bureau of Investigation.

As for Angela, she is currently only being observed and monitored; no action will be taken against her for the time being, and she cannot be told about Dimo.

"Can you control yourself next time?"

Locke looked at his clone with a serious expression.

Ming said with a wronged expression, "I'm sorry, main character, I didn't want to do this either. I was forced. If you don't believe me, you can go next time."

Ming's moral standards are definitely above his own. Even he couldn't resist him. If he went, wouldn't he just be throwing his life away?

Locke shook his head solemnly.

"I have more important things to do, you can go."

"What if something like that happens again?"

Ming asked.

"Then give me a signal in advance so I can hide."

Locke said helplessly.

"Ok."

Ming was also helpless. Why did he have to take the lead in this kind of thing?

After finishing his conversation with his clone, Locke went to the kitchen as usual to prepare breakfast for Eileen.

Although it's the weekend and Locke shouldn't have to go to the Bureau of Investigation, the Queen gave him a three-day investigation period, and today is the last day, so Locke still has to go to work.

Nevertheless, it is still necessary to get up early to prepare a warm breakfast for Eileen and Hannah, after all, life goes on.

As for the reclusive demon and the equally reclusive vampire, they can be ignored for now.

Alice's shadow was frozen in place for an entire day, which made her very uncomfortable, so she went to the hospital for comfort.

Locke guessed that the poor man guarding the blood bank was about to be hypnotized by Alice again.

Locke is making cheese and pork floss rice balls for breakfast today, a dish that can be enjoyed by people from both the East and the West. It is made primarily with rice and topped with uniquely flavored cheese slices.

First, chop the shiitake mushrooms and carrots, blanch the broccoli and then chop it, cut the cheese into small pieces, and toast the white sesame seeds until fragrant.

Next, pour a little oil into the pan, add chopped carrots and shiitake mushrooms and stir-fry for one minute. Add toasted white sesame seeds and stir-fry evenly. Add chopped broccoli and pork floss and stir-fry. Finally, add cooked rice, season with a little salt and sushi vinegar, and mix well.

Locke shaped the processed rice into small rice balls, placed them on a baking tray, and topped each rice ball with a slice of cheese.

Place the baking tray in the oven. After 6 minutes, when the cheese slices are completely melted, remove the baking tray.

The final step is to add a little ketchup to the cheese and pork floss rice balls.

After serving this lovingly prepared breakfast, accompanied by fragrant coffee, Locke invited the two ladies to join him.

"Little Ai, Hannah, try my new invention, cheese and pork floss rice balls."

Chapter 177, The Vegetable-Stealing Demon

Eileen's mood improved somewhat after eating the delicious breakfast.

"I'm going to work now, Xiao Ai, do you want to come with me?"

Locke invited.

Eileen shook her head. "I want to rest at home."

"Okay, then you get a good night's sleep. I'll make you dinner when I get back tonight."

Locke said gently.

Hannah looked at the two of them suspiciously. Why did she feel like she was being superfluous? Why did they seem so closer?

“Locke, I found a man who calls himself the Mystery Club. His name is Smith, and he’s a lawyer. He can introduce me to the club. I’ve decided to check it out.”

Hannah also wanted to solve her own problems. She didn't want to sit idly by and wait for her fate, so she relied on her limited abilities to try her best to collect various clues.

The Mystery Club currently seems to be the only way for ordinary people to access the mysterious world.

Despite hearing that most of the people in the club were crazy or charlatans and that they hadn't experienced many mysterious events, resulting in a poor reputation, Hannah still wanted to give it a try.

"Okay, I'll have Alice go with you."

Locke knew that Hannah was a very strong-willed girl. After learning about her own situation, she didn't want to become a burden to everyone. However, as the only ordinary person, there was really very little she could do. She could only play a role in her area of ​​expertise, which was investigation and interviewing. If he prevented her from joining this club, it would greatly damage her confidence.

"Ah."

Hannah smiled when she heard Locke agree to her decision.

How was the breakfast?

“Excellent, as expected of Locke. If the kingdom holds another culinary competition, you will definitely win the title of gourmet.”

Hannah gave a thumbs-up in praise.

"Unfortunately, the kingdom probably won't be holding a food competition anytime soon."

Locke said with a smile.

"By the way, when I went to Mrs. Amor's house last time, I ran into Parker and Parra, who were unemployed. They asked me where I lived and wanted to visit. I couldn't refuse, so I gave them my home address. That should be fine, right?"

"Hannah asked."

"No problem at all."

Locke is no longer worried about his home address being leaked, after all, he just lent money to the two brothers to help them through their difficulties.

Hearing this, Hannah breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that Locke hadn't told any of the neighbors his new address before, probably because he had his own concerns and was afraid that his unintentional act might have caused a mistake.

For some reason, Hannah, who used to always make her own decisions, has started to respect Locke's decisions more and more, as if he has become the head of the family.

“Then I’ll prepare dinner for tonight. They might be visiting today, so we can celebrate Life Day together.”

"If you hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten that this is a holiday."

Locke sighed, even though neither he nor Hannah were members of the Church of Life, they still celebrated Life Day together every year.

But this year, due to various events, they were not in the mood to celebrate the holiday.

We took advantage of the visit of old friends to enjoy the lingering warmth of Life Day together.

"Although today is January 3rd, it can still be called Life Day with some difficulty."

Hannah said with a smile.

After finishing her cheese and pork floss rice ball, Eileen rested her chin on her hand, listening thoughtfully to the siblings' conversation, her eyes gradually brightening.

"For Life Day, we should eat roast goose, stewed lamb, ham, roast duck, salmon, roast chicken... creamy mashed potatoes, Yorkshire wine, and it should be paired with green celery."

Eileen rattled off the list of 12 essential dishes for Life Day, along with expensive Yorkshire wines.

Hannah swallowed hard. She had only planned to prepare some gingerbread and creamy mashed potatoes, as well as a meat dish, such as stewed lamb. Lamb was relatively inexpensive and tasted good, making it suitable for entertaining guests. She would also prepare some vegetables and fruits.

I never imagined that I would have to prepare all 12 dishes required for the Day of Life, which would have required a considerable expense.

Moreover, over the years, when she and Locke celebrated holidays together, they mostly enjoyed delicious creamy mashed potatoes.

"Okay, since it's a holiday, I'll bring all the ingredients back after get off work."

Locke said.

"Yes, that's right. Our family isn't wealthy enough to afford a 12-course meal... Wait, Locke, what did you just say?"

Hannah looked at Locke in surprise.

"Hannah, don't worry, we should enjoy every day now. Nobody knows when something unexpected will happen."

Locke meant to talk about war, but Hannah thought he was referring to her special physical condition.

She nodded dejectedly.

'That's true. The monster inside me might break free at any time, and then we probably won't be able to celebrate Life Day together anymore, right?'
