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

There is only one fate waiting for Mr. Hohenheim.

That is, being locked up in an underground prison and being hunted by a succubus.

Chapter 58: The End of the Road

"Well, I have explained everything that needs to be said."

Little Lina smiled slightly, a playful gleam in her eyes, and a meaningful arc at the corners of her lips.

Lifting the hem of her skirt slightly, Lina's slender legs retreated slightly, posing a pretentious salute, and then slowly spoke:

"I came here for only one purpose this time, which is to take another look at Mr. Zayu."

"Miss Catalina still stubbornly believes that you are innocent. But I understand that you are definitely related to the Empire of Pleasure."

"Miss Lianna will be hypnotized by you. This is the biggest evidence."

Little Lena's lips curled up into a sly smile.

Gu Qinghan narrowed his eyes, his face slightly stiff, and stared at Xiaolina with a serious expression, without saying a word.

Lianna had repeated attacks, and Lina apparently noticed something was wrong.

"In the next period of time, I will not take you out for investigation again, and you can't rely on me to observe more red-name suspects."

“I look forward to seeing your expression when the truth comes out in a week.”

"I'll be waiting for you, Mr. Zayu~?"

With a faint smile, Lina waved her hand gently, twisted her hips, and left the room gracefully step by step.

Leaving behind a meaningful smile, the wooden door was closed tightly and the whole room fell into deathly silence.

--boom!

Looking at the direction where the female ghost disappeared, Gu Qinghan did not speak for a long time.

Depression filled every corner. In the whole room, besides the clock, the only sound was the beating of my own heart.

The current situation is extremely bad.

Gu Qinghan's face was gloomy.

If what Lina said was true, he could be said to be in a desperate situation.

Thinking about the current situation, Gu Qinghan frowned.

Hot springs program, and house arrest status.

Almost at the same time, two huge mountains appeared at the same time, blocking his way to clear his name.

No matter which one it is, you will be thrown into the underground prison.

Although he hoped that he had nothing to do with the Great Hypnotist Hohenheim, after so many days of scrutiny, the truth seemed to be just the opposite.

The two people are becoming more and more alike.

The mysterious hypnotist seemed to overlap with Gu Qinghan's shadow.

"Mr. Hohenheim..."

Beside her, Lianna showed a worried expression. She stared at Gu Qinghan blankly and bit her lips lightly.

She wanted to do something for Gu Qinghan, but apart from her determination, she could do nothing.

"Regarding the hot spring banquet, if you need my help, you can let me complete any dangerous task."

"Please let me help you!"

Lianna spoke word by word, gritting her teeth.

She slowly raised her head, stared at Gu Qinghan blankly, and then spoke:

"I'm not afraid even if I'm caught by Miss Catalina afterwards. Please let me help you!"

Gu Qinghan looked at the seriousness in Lianna's eyes, was stunned at first, and then showed a gentle bitter smile.

"Don't worry, I have my own plans for this matter, and I don't need you to take risks."

Lianna couldn't help but blink when she heard that, and froze in place.

"Master, have you figured out a solution?"

Gu Qinghan ignored Lianna's strange address to him and nodded slightly.

"Yes. The hot spring party plan is tricky, but not unbreakable."

"As long as you use the spring water to bathe, everything will be fine."

Lianna stood there in a daze, thinking briefly, still not understanding the deeper meaning of Gu Qinghan's words.

"Do you mean to say...?"

Gu Qinghan looked calmly at the empty direction, then slowly said:

"According to the original plan, I was going to use the fountain of lucidity to break the hypnotic state of the Pleasure Empire spy."

"Since Catalina intends to use the hot spring party to investigate all the citizens' suspicions at once, why don't we take advantage of her plan?"

Having said that, a faint smile appeared on Gu Qinghan's face.

"After all, we were going to have spies from the Empire of Pleasure come to our house for a shower, weren't we?"

Lianna stood there in a daze, and she understood the meaning of Gu Qinghan's words and opened her eyes wide.

She vaguely understood what Gu Qinghan was going to do.

Hypnosis removal potion.

For Lianna, who did not lose her memory, this was the prescription that she remembered most vividly.

Among them, the most important medicine is the sober spring water.

That is a special potion that requires the hypnotist to be immersed in water to be effective.

"I will use the next week to change the water quality of the entire hot spring into a hypnosis-removing potion."

"Since Katarina thinks she can find out the spies of the Empire of Joy in one fell swoop through this method, let her try."

"Let's see whether her 'Tracker' works faster or my hypnosis removal potion is more effective."

As he spoke, Gu Qinghan smiled faintly, revealing a calm expression.

The hot spring plan did not cause any fatal interference to Gu Qinghan.

On the contrary, it will become an important part of Gu Qinghan's promotion plan.

Compared with the hot spring banquet plan, another problem is obviously more difficult.

Being under house arrest and unable to step out of the room.

This is very dangerous for Gu Qinghan.

Gu Qinghan was certain that given Catalina's personality, it would be impossible for her to stop investigating the red-name suspect within the next week.

She would try her best to ensure the success rate of the plan, continue to look for spies from the Empire of Joy, and make good use of this last week.

During this period, Gu Qinghan could not step out of the room and could only leave his life to fate.

If found by Catalina in advance, Gu Qinghan would have a bleak fate.

What should I do?

In the dark room, Gu Qinghan frowned and paced back and forth in front of the alchemy table.

Time passed minute by minute, and after a long silence, Gu Qinghan suddenly stood there, motionless.

Lianna blinked and asked in confusion.

The hot spring plan had been cracked, and she didn't understand what else could make Mr. Hohenheim anxious.

But Gu Qinghan understood that he had no time to hesitate.

After a long time, Gu Qinghan turned around and looked into Lianna's clear eyes with a serious expression.

"Miss Lianna, please remember what I am going to tell you next."

As he spoke, he slowly walked to Lianna, stretched out his hands and gently placed them on her shoulders, and continued word by word:

"Starting from next Monday, you will follow Miss Lina and observe her review operations."

"If anyone similar to the Pleasure Empire's spies appears, or if there are other unusual circumstances, please bring Miss Lina to my home immediately."

"It doesn't matter if it's a little rough. I'm going to give her a final hypnosis. Do you understand?"

Lianna's eyes flickered, and she quickly realized the meaning of Gu Qinghan's words, and her heartbeat quickened.

Soul hypnosis potion, injection method.

This is the most powerful hypnotic method.

But the consequences of doing so are obvious.

"You'll be in danger..."

"We can come up with a code."

Gu Qinghan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, then smiled faintly and said:

"As long as I make any hints, you will be responsible for keeping her under control and preventing her from ever leaving this house again."

"After all, as a female ghost, you should be prepared to be killed, right?"

Chapter 55: Unpredictable and treacherous

Gu Qinghan looked at the clock hanging on the wall with a serious expression.

Eight forty-five.

In the past, Lina would have brought Gu Qinghan with her and rushed to the home of the red-name suspect as a guest at this time.

However, there seemed to be an unexpected twist in today's review.

The female ghost didn't come over.

Not only that, Gu Qinghan also discovered other unusual details.

Walking gently to the window, he raised his hand and pushed aside the black curtain, staring out the window with cold eyes, feeling a strange breath.

On the quiet and empty streets, there were only a few pedestrians walking in groups of two or three, much fewer than usual.

People passing by walked in a hurry, as if they were anxious to avoid this place and did not want to stay here for long.

Not only that, but even the ordinary inspectors who were responsible for the review disappeared.

Looking at the whole street from a distance, it seemed inexplicably deserted, with no one lingering around.

Very strange.

On the other hand, merchants hired service personnel to put up signs and continue to promote the event in advance.

"Come on and take a look. You can get small gifts by participating in the event!"

"Come on, make money with money!"

There is only one week left for the hot spring banquet, and the event warm-up has reached its most popular stage.

Facing the deserted streets, they continued their work with great enthusiasm.

Deserted and noisy, two completely different atmospheres, fill the same street.

This makes the weird feeling even more obvious.

Gu Qinghan frowned.

What is going on?

Looking up at the sky, Gu Qinghan squinted his eyes. The thick dark clouds were like a mountain, suspended above the entire City of Love, and could fall and collapse at any time.

Just as he planned.

If there is a tiny loophole somewhere, all is lost.

At this moment, there was an unexpected knock on the door.
