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

Little Lina raised the corners of her lips, patted his shoulder gently with one hand, left a meaningful look, and turned to walk towards the door.

The piercing chuckle was like a steel nail piercing through Hohenheim's eardrum, making the whole room go crazy.

Hohenheim stood there like a sculpture, watching Lina's back getting farther and farther away.

Hohenheim did nothing until she left the house.

With a "bang", the wooden door was slammed shut and the whole room suddenly fell into deathly silence.

The sun set, dark clouds gathered, and the room was plunged into darkness.

On the wall, the hands of the clock turned, making a sarcastic sound.

Outside the window, there were the hawking of street vendors, the angry shouts of the inspectors, the excuses of innocent passers-by, and the rustling of leaves in the wind...

All the noisy sounds poured into the house through the open window like a rushing river and into Hohenheim's ears.

It was as if the whole world had gone crazy.

Until one moment, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Then, the whole world became quiet in an instant.

"hehe."

Gu Qinghan smiled indifferently, and time began to flow again.

The laughter only lasted for a moment and then disappeared without a trace, as if it was afraid of being heard by the ears on the other side of the wall.

Gu Qinghan walked to the alchemy table with an expressionless face. He bent down to pick up the thick gray-black book that was still on the ground and gently brushed off the dust on the surface.

This is the book that Lina had just left on the ground.

——The Secret of Hypnosis

It is the handwritten work of the Great Hypnotist Hohenheim. If it is put on the market, it will definitely attract a lot of people and may even cause a national war.

However, it was such a book that was placed on the table by Gu Qinghan somewhat casually.

He didn't seem to care about the book.

Then Gu Qinghan turned around and looked at the bookshelf, browsing the books on it with a serious look, and continued to look for the next book.

After a brief search, his eyes stopped on one of the books.

——《Silver-haired Dragon Princess Wants to Touch Your Trophy》

With an expressionless face, Gu Qinghan took it off, held it in his hand, and placed it carefully on the table.

Compared to the book on the secrets of hypnosis mentioned earlier, Gu Qinghan treated this book much more seriously.

This is an ordinary leisure book. If you just look at its cover, you will definitely be attracted by Long Ji's big and white dragon horns and can't put it down.

But unfortunately, Gu Qinghan is not such a person.

Gu Qinghan's eyes narrowed, and he pinched a corner of the thick book cover with his fingers, and suddenly tore the cover hard.

——Sizzle!

The cover with the picture of the beautiful girl Long Ji was torn in half, and the picture of the graceful girl was shattered, revealing the original appearance of the book.

Inside the crack in the cover, the book actually has a second cover.

black.

The mysterious black color, the slightly wrinkled leather material, and the four eye-catching words on its surface all make this book of extraordinary significance.

——The Secret of Hypnosis

This is the second book on the secrets of hypnosis.

Gu Qinghan couldn't help laughing, and finally breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the four big words on the book cover.

This time, he didn't have to worry and laughed out loud.

Chapter 39 Exposed

Little Lina stared at the words in the book with a dull look, without moving for a long time.

Her eyes were dull, her gaze moved faster and faster, and her face became paler and paler.

Those sloppy handwritings, every line and every page, seemed like they were crawling with ugly eight-legged spiders, making people's hair stand on end.

The content of the book is very detailed.

Almost all of her actions over the past two days were predicted perfectly and accurately.

"How can this be……"

Little Lina whispered softly, her pupils trembling violently.

She held the book in her hands and felt her hands and feet were cold.

Lina thought that she had completely mastered Hohenheim and could play with him as she pleased.

But if the contents of this book are true...

Everything she saw was false.

It's all acting.

……

Half an hour later.

Inside the room, the sound of falling water gradually subsided, and silence once again filled every space.

The purge of Hohenheim seemed to be coming to an end.

After little Lina finished reading "The Secret of Hypnosis", she put it on the table and her face gradually became gloomy.

Not long ago, she had a smirk on her face, confident of victory, ready to play with Hohenheim at any time.

And now, that delicate face is shrouded in shadow.

She stared at the bathroom door, and a flash of hatred flashed in her eyes.

Finally, the wooden door creaked open and the expected figure walked out.

Hohenheim pushed the door open and walked out. Sweat mixed with cold water flowed down his neck to the ground, wetting the ends of his damp hair.

"finished Wash?"

Suddenly, little Lina, who was sitting not far away, spoke up suddenly and looked at him with a sneer.

Hohenheim couldn't help but pause, a hint of confusion flashed across his face. He inexplicably felt that something was wrong with Lina's expression.

He held a towel in his hand, draped it over his shoulders, and nodded slightly.

"kindness."

"That's good."

Little Lina changed her posture, gently supporting her chin with one hand, still maintaining her unfathomable smile.

"Just now when you were taking a shower, I seemed to hear some strange noises. I thought you were secretly doing something in the bathroom."

"You didn't do anything weird behind my back, did you?"

Lina's lips curled into a meaningful smile.

Hohenheim was startled and looked at little Lina with a frown.

"I have never done such a thing."

He said heavily, his voice a little hoarse.

Little Lina paused, a sly gleam in her eyes for a moment, and then she nodded slightly.

"Is it."

She smiled faintly, and then continued slowly:

"Actually, when you were washing your body just now, I secretly gave you an instruction."

"I command you to take a sip of my bath water."

"And you didn't do anything like this, obeying my instructions?"

Having said that, little Lina paused deliberately, then put on a calm smile and squinted at Hohenheim.

There was a daze in Hohenheim's eyes, then he came to his senses and his expression became serious.

His eyes were sharp, like a sharp knife, staring at little Lina's unfathomable smile, his brows furrowed.

Little Lina's condition at this moment was completely different from before.

Half an hour ago, she was still immersed in the pleasure of playing.

But now, it has suddenly become incomprehensible.

Hohenheim sighed slowly and gave a wry smile.

"Well, I certainly did."

A trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, and then he spread his hands helplessly and answered slowly:

"Just now when I was taking a shower, I accidentally choked on some water."

"But I thought it was just an accident. I didn't expect it was your bad taste."

Hohenheim snorted coldly, his eyes showing a hint of sarcasm.

"So, you drank the bath water by accident?"

Hohenheim's eyes flickered, but he remained silent.

He showed no expression and chose to refuse to answer Lina's question.

Little Lena nodded with a smile, as if she had expected Hohenheim to have this reaction.

"very good."

Little Lina stood up slowly, her eyes sweeping around every corner of the house, strolling leisurely.

"Now I understand what happened in the past two days."

She looked back with a smile at the densely packed alchemical instruments on the alchemical table, and gently stroked the surface with her fingers.

The fingertips passed over one by one, and each gentle stroke happened to touch some special instruments.

Small furnaces, test tubes, and some delicate instruments.

All of them are necessary items for refining [Soul Hypnosis Potion].

What's even more coincidental is that these utensils happened to be the ones that Hohenheim had used not long ago.

"Before I confess, I have one more thing to tell you."

"What I said to you just now was just a joke."

Having said that, the corners of little Lina's lips suddenly rose, and the smirk on her face became more wanton.

Hohenheim stood there in a daze, not understanding the meaning of her words for a moment.

"I didn't order you to do anything like this."

"And you answered me that you did."

"Is that right?"

Hohenheim was startled at first, and then his pupils trembled slightly.

A cold wind blew past, lifting the black curtains in the house. Outside the window, the leaves on the street rustled, sounding particularly noisy.

Hohenheim stared at the expression on Lina's face with a cold gaze, and did not speak for a long time.

If what Lina said was true, then the conversation just now was just to test Hohenheim.

The two people looked at each other, and there seemed to be a flash of lightning where their eyes met.

The originally calm atmosphere in the house suddenly became tense.

"Mr. Hohenheim, you don't seem to be under the control of my hypnosis."

"Why on earth is that?"
