I traveled through time and space as a villain and became her heart-stealer.

Upon hearing this, Lianna quickly opened her eyes, and after seeing the tired smile on Gu Qinghan's face, she looked at the small stove on the alchemy table.

"Wow, is this the inner flame you mentioned? So beautiful!"

Lianna opened her eyes wide and stared at the small stove, with a gleam of admiration inadvertently in her eyes.

Gu Qinghan looked at Lianna's profile and couldn't help but chuckle.

The rising hot air brought a breeze, blowing her hair, which was incredibly beautiful.

"The potion making is almost finished, let's finish it in one go!"

"I'm here to help too!"

Lianna rolled up her sleeves, revealing her white arms, and smiled happily with the corners of her lips raised.

At this point, the preparation of the soul hypnosis potion only requires the final step.

--Dissolve the crystals in the heart extract.

In the small stove, translucent crystals sparkled, evenly distributed at the bottom of the stove like granulated sugar.

This is what Hohenheim mentioned in his notes, "the remains of the burning of the demon core of the mind."

Carefully pick them all up with tweezers, and then dissolve them in the heart extract solution one by one, stirring to mix.

Five minutes later, Gu Qinghan looked at the liquid in the test tube, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

Colorless, transparent liquid, inconspicuous.

Even the original smell of rotten fruit disappeared.

If he hadn't spent so much time making it himself, he would have even thought it was pure water.

But if you observe carefully, you will find that at the junction of "water" and air, there should be a concave liquid surface in the test tube where the two phases were in contact, but it has disappeared at this time.

If you don't observe carefully enough, you won't even be able to see the "water" and will only feel that the test tube is empty.

Gu Qinghan looked at the strange liquid in the test tube, and a hint of excitement and joy flashed in his eyes.

Successful.

This seemingly inconspicuous liquid is exactly the treasure he has been trying every means to obtain - the soul hypnosis potion!

It only hypnotizes a person's consciousness but cannot cause any impact on the person's body. It perfectly meets his needs for hypnosis this time!

The inability to see the refraction of light is the result of the subtle distortion of human consciousness by the drug.

"I feel like if you just look at it, you won't realize how dangerous this potion is."

Beside her, Lianna frowned slightly, blinked, and looked at the liquid in the test tube and said.

"So much the better."

Gu Qinghan smiled faintly, and then explained:

"The person we are going to hypnotize this time is the inspector of the Pure Love Kingdom. We must be as careful as possible to avoid being exposed."

As he spoke, Gu Qinghan took out the liquid medicine in the test tube and poured it into a small brown glass bottle that he had prepared in advance for storage.

In the bathroom, there was another heart being frozen. This was the third heart that Lianna purchased later.

After waiting for an hour, he still needed to prepare the next portion of heart extract.

"The first dose will be used tomorrow and will take effect on her within twenty-four hours."

After a pause, Gu Qinghan turned to look at Lianna with a serious expression, and then continued word by word:

"However, the effect of the soul hypnosis potion can only last for 24 hours. In other words, we must perform a second enhanced hypnosis on Miss Lina before the time limit expires."

"Ms. Lianna, I need you to make sure you buy two hearts every day in the coming period of time so that I have enough time to complete the production of the new medicine."

"Can you do it?"

Liana stared at Gu Qinghan in a daze, then bit her lower lip with her silver teeth and nodded seriously:

"give it to me."

Gu Qinghan looked at the girl's serious expression, and a warm current surged in his heart. He felt that the pressure in his heart seemed to be much less.

"I will give you the equivalent amount of medicinal materials on time every day. Thank you for your hard work."

After taking a deep breath, when Gu Qinghan opened his eyes again, his expression could not contain his excitement and anticipation.

He slowly looked towards another room in the house. Next to the bathroom, there was another closed wooden door.

That's where the kitchen is.

When Lianna bought vegetables, she would often prepare a simple dinner for two there.

The kitchen is not big, but it has everything you need to make all home-cooked dishes.

Tomorrow, he will cook himself and prepare a sumptuous breakfast for Lina.

Of course, this wasn't just to entertain Inspector Lina.

Next, he will spend all his time on one thing——

Thinking about how to set a trap and induce Lina to take hypnotic drugs to resolve the current difficult situation.

"It would be a shame if we don't make good use of this new medicine."

With a faint smile, Gu Qinghan held the small brown bottle tightly in his hand and walked towards the simple house.

at the same time.

Downstairs of No. 38, Dieter Street, across the street.

……

Another week passed, and the interrogation operation was still proceeding covertly and efficiently.

During this period of time, the scar magic "Tracker" was triggered dozens of times, making Katarina feel tingling on her scalp.

At first, Catalina thought they were all spies of the Empire of Pleasure and doubted the authenticity of Richard's intelligence.

But after private conversations, I found that the truth is often more difficult to accept.

Although some people are residents of the Kingdom of Pure Love, they hate this country from the bottom of their hearts.

They hate pure love, and they hate even more the banner of pure love behavior, which makes them feel hypocritical and disgusted.

Catalina carefully asked the suspects for their names and addresses, memorized each person's facial features, and decided to find time to interrogate them individually later.

So far, the interrogation has lasted for two weeks, and the mission of finding the Pleasure Empire spies is still progressing normally and orderly.

However, the only surprising thing is that no clues directly related to the Empire of Joy have been found so far.

"My luck is a bit bad."

Katerina muttered to herself and couldn't help but sigh.

Two weeks ago, she had promised the top brass of the Palace of Inquisition that they would capture the spy lurking in the City of Beloved within a month.

Now it seems that it really takes that long.

"Sister Zayu~ If you don't use more radical means, you'll be laughed at by those old guys, okay?"

A familiar voice came from the side, with a hint of sarcasm and ridicule in the voice.

Catalina was startled, then turned around and looked in the direction of the voice, and saw the blonde girl's cunning smile.

It's this guy again. Katarina's eyes darkened.

Chapter 3 (K) Plan Exposed

Looking at Lina's slightly mocking smile at this time, Katarina's body instinctively reacted with rejection.

I really want to touch the back of her neck again.

However, since they were both inspectors, Catalina decided to force a stiff smile.

"Lina? How come you have time to come here today? It's really rare~"

Lina blinked, looked at the slightly awkward smile on Katerina's face, put her hands on her waist and said with a smile:

"Since I care about Sister Katarina so much, of course I have to come over often~"

With a grin on her face, Little Lina walked up to Katerina, stood on tiptoe and whispered in her ear:

"How's the interrogation going lately? You look a little sad, are you having any trouble?"

As she spoke, little Lina held a white handkerchief, gently covered her mouth and laughed out loud.

There was clearly a hint of sarcasm in that laughter.

Catalina took a deep breath and tried to calm the urge to kill someone.

Hard.

The fist is hard.

"Well, the progress is indeed a bit slow at the moment..."

Katerina said with a stiff smile on her face, and finally decided to make a sacrifice for the sake of harmonious relationship between colleagues.

Violence is always bad.

"Oh~ So that's it~"

Little Lina keenly noticed that Katarina's anger value was approaching the bottleneck of using her ultimate move, so she tactfully and decisively stopped teasing her.

"But don't you have a backup plan?"

Lina blinked, then asked with a hint of confusion:

"According to the plan you drew up, it shouldn't be a problem to complete the search in a month, right?"

Catalina sighed helplessly, feeling mixed emotions.

She does have a plan in place.

In the central square of the City of Love, all citizens were summoned to swear an oath of allegiance to the Kingdom of Pure Love.

In this way, all suspicious persons can be arrested and brought to justice in just a few tens of minutes, and the problem can be solved instantly.

But as an inspector, she hopes to minimize the power of the disaster and avoid disrupting people's lives.

This approach would obviously alert the spies of the Empire of Joy and arouse suspicion from enemy invaders.

At that time, the other party might start a killing spree on the spot, threatening the lives and safety of all the people present.

The last time she captured Richard, because she didn't expect this, it ended up having a serious impact on civilians' daily lives.

Although there was no death in the end, it was already a shame for Catalina.

But Lina definitely wouldn't care about this kind of thing.

After all, with her personality, she might think that the greater the impact, the better, after all, it would be more exciting.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's change the subject."

Katerina waved her hand gently, her expression slightly tired, then looked at Lina and sighed:

"Tell me the real purpose of your visit this time. I don't believe you are just here to chat with me."

"If you have other intentions, it would be better to tell me directly."

Little Lena blinked, looked at Katarina's eyes that pierced through people's hearts like sharp blades, and couldn't help but put on a clever little smile.

"Oh, have we been discovered?"

She glanced sideways at Catalina and couldn't help sticking out her tongue.

"Oh? So you still want to hide~"

Catalina smiled slightly, which was a verbal counterattack against Lina.

Lina pouted and her face turned red, obviously very angry at Katarina's words.

"Humph, I wanted to care about my elder sister, but I didn't expect that I would end up being the younger sister's fault."

Catalina couldn't help but burst out laughing as well.

Lina sighed helplessly, and finally lost:

"Okay, enough joking. If I continue, I might get into trouble."
