Bruce was about to send the woman away when Stank suddenly called him.

"Wait, isn't this already available?" Stank said. "Let Aesop see a couple of steps of magic shadows, and he'll understand everything, right?"

"right."

Bruce and Jer finally reacted.

Shit, in order to be able to be released publicly, this kind of evil film was advertised as an X-educational film. I never thought that one day it would actually become an X-educational film.

"Give me a movie where a thief gets caught," Stank said to the woman selling the magic shadow.

"A thief being caught? Is it this detailed?" The woman selling the magic shadow looked down and said, "I don't think there is any. There are only the Infiltrator series, which should be similar."

It seems that there is not much difference.

"Then this one will do." Stank nodded.

"Oh, you only want this one? I'm offering a buy-two-get-one-free deal." The woman selling the Shadow Demon continued her introduction with a beaming smile, "Take a look! We also have the incredibly popular Minotaur series..."

"Get out of here!" Stank glared. "If my brother develops some weird fetish, I'll really kill you."

"Ah, don't be impatient, my Minotaur is a real Minotaur. The two bulls are butting horns while we're fighting..."

"This is even more outrageous! If you don't leave now, I'm going to kill you!"

There was no other way. The woman whose life was threatened could only sell a magic ball for the Infiltrator series, and then she was forced to leave.

"Okay, Aesop." Stank handed the magic ball to Aesop, "We won't go with you to watch it. It's too weird for a bunch of grown men to squeeze together to watch this thing. You can study it on your own. Anyway, your theme tonight is similar to this. Just look at what the male protagonist in the magic ball did, and do the same."

Aesop took the magic ball and thought about it.

"Also, the Dream Girls will definitely bring the props inside." Stank reminded him, "You don't have to worry about hurting them. Those props are specially made and will not hurt anyone at all."

"I understand." Aesop nodded and said, "I will study it carefully."

"Well, also, I heard that to ensure the authenticity of this shop, the Dream Girls will enter according to the script." Stank added, "They won't knock on the door honestly, they will sneak in like real thieves, so you have to be careful."

"I understand."

So Aesop took the magic ball back to his room and started watching.

At that moment, he felt that the door to a new world had opened again.

Although this is just a very clichéd plot, with the investigator being betrayed, his whereabouts revealed, and being caught while infiltrating, and the acting is also very poor, it is still very interesting, and the interesting thing is...

Can the rope be tied like this?

Can candles be used in this way?

Does the whip look so exciting?

When Aesop was halfway through reading and finding it very interesting, he suddenly heard the door behind him open with a creak.

……

"Huh? Sure enough, there's a guard." Celine, who thought she had sneaked into the room quietly, saw Aesop sitting by the bed watching the magic shadow and muttered, "That really scared me."

"But this guy... looks a little too weak. He has flaws all over his body."

"Tsk, maybe I'm too strong, so I think he's too weak."

"It's your bad luck to meet me, little brother."

Celine chuckled, and then used the means of a thief to quietly rush behind Aesop, and then hit Aesop's neck with a knife, and Aesop immediately fainted.

"This is such an easy solution! It's so easy to get." Celine clapped her hands and looked around. "So, where is the dwarven treasure?"

She began to rummage around.

But she didn't notice that Aesop, who was knocked down by her, slowly stood up.

The next second, her body suddenly froze, as if fixed by an invisible force.

"Hehehe." Aesop slowly walked in front of her, lifted her chin, and showed a very greasy smile, "Miss Investigator, you didn't expect that you would fall into my ambush."

Celine felt a little confused.

Let's not talk about how you woke up...

Who is the Investigating Officer?

Fifty-eight It’s no use even if you shout at the top of your lungs!

Why do you laugh "Jie Jie Jie"?

Aesop didn't know, but that was the man's smile in the Shadow of Magic. Aesop was a true academic. Abel had taught him, for example, that until you fully understand the principles of a potion, you must not alter its steps. Each step must be followed exactly as written in the book. Only then can you create a flawless potion. Only after thoroughly understanding the principles and essence of a potion can you alter or create something new.

Although Aesop is extremely talented and is the greatest genius of the human race in a hundred years as described by Abel... Oh no, there is only one such genius like him. He should be able to understand something thoroughly after doing it for the first time.

But there has to be a first time, right?

So now is Aesop's first time. He decided to act exactly as the man on the shadow did, even his smile had to be as greasy as that man's.

So what's next?

Meanwhile, Celine had no idea what Aesop was thinking. She simply felt humiliated and confused. The humiliation was that she had sneaked in so confidently and was discovered. The confusion was... How did this bastard find out? My skills were so superb!

But none of that matters, the most important thing is...

"Let me go!" Xilin said through gritted teeth, "I admit defeat. You're still the best, okay?"

Hmm...it seems that this is not what she should say.

Aesop scratched his head, realizing that the two of them didn't seem to have the same script, but it didn't matter. Stank said that the two scripts were actually similar, and the other party was a professional, so he would definitely notice it and cooperate with him.

So Aesop sneered and said, "Hehehe, do you know why I caught you?"

"So you should let go... huh?" Celine was stunned. This was indeed a question she was quite curious about. "Isn't it because you saw through my excellent infiltration?"

Oh oh oh oh, she really understood my intention and changed the script. She is really professional.

Aesop gave her a thumbs up in his heart, and acted even harder.

He slowly walked to the front of Celine, raised his hand to pinch her delicate chin, and then looked at her with a provocative look: "Of course not, you are such an outstanding investigator, even if it is me, it is impossible to catch you without any source of intelligence."

Celine was stunned.

Putting aside why she's called an investigator, she's clearly just a thief...but isn't that the point...

"Is this a setup by you and that damn dwarf?!" Celine immediately became furious. "What kind of mission is this? It was fake from the beginning, just to lure me here?!"

"Dwarf?" Aesop recalled. There didn't seem to be any dwarfs in the magic shadow, so he continued to act normally. He shook his head and said softly, "Why can't your imagination be bolder?"

"I was able to trap an investigator like you without you even suspecting anything. Could this be... someone closer to me?"

Celine's eyes widened little by little, and Abby's appearance appeared in her mind.

"You mean... Abby?" Celine's breathing became heavier. "No, this is impossible..."

"I knew you didn't want to believe it." Aesop said with a smile, "The feeling of being betrayed by your loved ones is indeed not easy to accept."

"You're talking nonsense!" Celine was furious. "How could Abby betray me? We are sisters!"

"Yes, yes, sister." Aesop spread her hands. "A sister who enjoys the attention in front of others, and a sister who silently dedicates herself behind the scenes but is not understood by others... There is nothing I can do. Your sister wants too many things from me, and these things include... destroying you."

Abby...want to destroy me?

Celine's mind did indeed flash back to the various times when Abby disliked her, but even so, she was unwilling to believe it: "No...you have to let Abby come over, you have to let Abby come over and tell me in person, otherwise I will never believe it!"

"Of course, no problem. You will meet her." Aesop smiled slightly, "But... not in your current state."

"You're still too sharp for my liking."

"I'll make you realize that you're not just an investigator, you're also... a woman."

What is this person trying to do?!

Celine saw Aesop pick up the rope he brought and then walk towards her.

Are you going to tie me up and take me away?

Celine sneered in her heart.

She could already feel her strength gradually recovering, which meant that this guy didn't have the ability to use magic to keep her imprisoned, so he had to rely on the rope.

But don't forget what her job is!

He is a thief, and the best thief!

She had no idea how many times she had played with ropes. No matter what kind of knot it was, even the one known as the Heavenly Lock, she had the confidence to open it.

By that time, she can control this greasy...handsome guy?

Damn, this guy is obviously good-looking, why does he give people such a greasy feeling?

But it doesn’t matter. I’ll kill this guy first, then go back to Abby and ask her why she did this.

Celine already had a plan in mind, and then she saw Aesop pressing her body to the ground and then starting to tie the rope.

Haha, you are indeed an amateur, you can’t even tie someone up.

I have never seen such a way of tying people up.

Why are you constantly scrambling around on my body instead of just tying my hands and feet? How can you tie someone up like that? These ropes are just pointless, okay?

It's so funny, he's really an amateur, and he even went around my thigh. What's the use of this place... except for a little numbness...

Heh, with the way you tie it, it only takes me thirty seconds to completely... Hey, hey, hey, why are you touching my breasts? There's no way to untie the rope here.

Do you know how to tie someone up?

What exactly is this weak and powerless way of tying here... uh... ah... eh... who taught you this?

By the time Celine realized something was wrong, Aesop had already tied her up and hung her up.

"It hurts...it hurts so much..." The pain at that moment made Celine's tears fall.

After all, this was a professional rope, thick, big, and long enough! It would leave marks if it was wrapped around someone for just a short while, let alone being used to hang them up.

"What on earth are you going to do?!" Celine stared at Aesop, "I've already admitted defeat, isn't that enough?!"

Aesop was clapping his hands in satisfaction, thinking that the tortoise shell binding in the magic shadow didn't look that difficult, and he could succeed on the first try.

And her acting skills are really good. She actually performed the pain. She is much more dedicated than the actress in The Dark Knight.

But why did she tell me she'd given up? Shouldn't the line at this point be...

"You can scream." Aesop laughed, "It's no use even if you scream your throat out!"

Fifty-nine. Who are you?

Abby felt uneasy.

She had been waiting for a long time at the agreed meeting place with Celine downstairs in the tavern, but Celine still hadn't returned.

Why is that?

Has it failed?

But this shouldn't be the case.

Abby paced back and forth with her hands behind her back, becoming increasingly anxious.

This mission wasn't particularly difficult, or else Abby wouldn't have let Celine go. As a thief, caution was paramount, and the only mission she'd let Celine do was a simple one, requiring only sneaking in, finding something, and retrieving it. While Celine wasn't particularly intelligent, she'd already honed her basic skills, so she shouldn't be unable to pull off something like this.

The more Abby thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. After waiting for a long time and still not seeing Celine, she stopped and said firmly.

"Damn it, something must have gone wrong." Abby's small body contained a lot of anger, and the curse words just poured out, "If I had known this, I wouldn't have let her go. She's so unreliable!"

Even though she cursed like this, in her heart, Abby still cared about Celine. When she was little and was caught stealing, it was Celine who redeemed her and raised her. So, although Celine was unreliable, she was the combined role of sister and mother to her, and she could never be left alone.

So, Abby took a deep breath and turned to look at the hotel which she had thought was ordinary before but now seemed like a devil's cave.

We must get Celine back!

With this thought in mind, Abby resolutely entered the hotel.

Abby's heart was pounding as she sneaked into the third floor of the hotel.

She felt that something was wrong with this hotel.

What's wrong?

The problem was that it was too ordinary, just an ordinary hotel no matter how you looked at it. But Abby knew that the more peaceful and calm a place was, the more likely it was to have a problem. If there was no problem, how could Celine not come back until now?
