Category: Light Novel-Original Fantasy.

【Introduction】

The fake thief: wearing a white suit and a top hat, he is handsome and agile. He stole the treasure in full view of everyone and escaped unscathed.

The real thief: a temporary worker, a traitor, busy with expense reimbursement, and as long as all the witnesses are eliminated, the crime is perfect.

In a world that has been destroyed once, Bai Ge just wants to live a peaceful life, but life doesn't want him to have peace.

Arsene Lupin, Yesterday's Order, Historical Inheritance, Abyssal Relic Affairs Department, Alchemy Doll, Observatory.
So, under the dazzling and hypocritical starry sky, Bai Ge put on a crazy mask and raised the corners of his mouth.

"Friend, why are you so serious?"

In fact, it is just a dark heroic story about a young boy who lives a relaxed daily life during the day and turns into a thief at night. Just take it seriously.

【Golden Ten Chapters】

Act One: Draws lead to shipwrecks, a common occurrence in the military. The protagonist, Bai Ge, is a seventeen-year-old high school student assigned to a new class at the start of the semester. He's joined by a new female classmate named Ai Lian. He's playing a pay-to-win mobile game and asks the girl for help drawing cards. He draws a two-star Phantom Thief. Life is uneventful until one day, he witnesses the girl's head tumbling down at his feet.

Act 2: Please Take My Head Away. The protagonist is repairing a mechanical clock in the utility room of the student union on the fifth floor. His fingers are very nimble because he is an ascender, not a true transcendent. He sees his love explode at the end of the corridor, and its head rolls to his feet, asking him to take it away.

Act Three: Infinite Corridor. He refuses Ailian's request and prepares to leave the teaching building, only to find himself trapped in a secret room within an infinite corridor. Only by unlocking the secret room can he and Ailian's head, the alchemy doll, escape safely. Furthermore, the room is shrinking, with only five minutes left before it disappears.

Act 4, this is the crime part. The protagonist quickly cracks the chamber of secrets. His method is simple: he directly breaks the rules of the chamber of secrets. He breaks through the glass of the window, jumps out of the teaching building, and grabs the windowsill. Ai Lian reveals to the protagonist that she is the Inspector of the Abyssal Relic Affairs Department.

Act 5: The Alchemy Doll is truly amazing! The protagonist returns Ai Lian to his residence, where he hands over a middle-aged man. He witnesses the man pull out a spare doll. The Philosopher's Stone lights up on Ai Lian's forehead, activating the doll's body, practically reborn as a human.

Act 6: From today on, we are gay. The protagonist, though an ascender, has not officially registered, making him an undocumented resident, and his personal history is somewhat unclear. He and Ai Lian cracked a secret room set up at school, and they are certain to face retaliation. Under coercion and inducement, the protagonist agrees to join the Abyss Relic Agency as a temporary worker.

Act 7: Exhausted! The protagonist returns home to find their guardian, once again drunk, yet a truly kind man. The next day at school, Ai Lian is once again playing the part of aristocratic lady. After school, he returns to the plastic surgery clinic, shyly lingering outside, not daring to enter.

Act 8: Were you just thinking something rude? Ai Lian also plays this mobile game and is a high-level spender, owning not only a full set of six-star characters but also several seven-star ones. Ai Lian explains to the protagonist what a Leveler is, how to increase their reputation, and asks if the protagonist has ever thought anything rude while she's drinking water.

Act 9: Don't sign contracts carelessly, and don't eat meals carelessly. The HR manager finally arrived. His name was Fan Zhe, a blond with a fierce daughter. Although the contract's terms were fraught with danger, the protagonist had no choice but to sign it. Dinner was ready, and he was invited to join them. Something to do.

Act 10: Delicious! The protagonist enjoys a home-cooked dinner at Ailian's house, and it's quite delicious. He keeps secretly observing how Ailian eats, considering she's just a pretty doll. It turns out she's a big eater, and after finishing, she invites him back to her room. Ailian asks him to help her put her head back on.

【Brief Comment】

About the Author

Wuhuo De Yuhui, a level 5 author, has written "The Bones of the Sinful Domain Will Become King", "Meet the Principal", "The Creator of the Second Dimension", "The Truth is Everywhere Within the Range", and "The Ancient Fire Thief". Among his four works on the shelves, three have reached the level of excellence.

This is his new book, which currently has only 8.82 words, and is very young.

summary of the story
This book mainly tells the story of the world after the Great Collapse, where extraordinary people are everywhere, but they are just called Ascenders.

There is a new transfer student in the protagonist's class. The protagonist sees him turning around and falls into danger in a secret room.

As an unregistered ascender, he was forced to join the official organization of the girl, the Abyssal Relic Affairs Department, and became a temporary worker with a good income, but his life could be threatened at any time.

However, this was also a turning point in his life. Becoming an ascender was a very challenging thing in itself. He was still very decisive and brave.

Character characteristics
The protagonist Bai Ge has very smart fingers, which means his brain is also very smart.

So it makes sense that he could unlock the secret room.

Many people have seen escape room games and know how difficult it is to solve puzzles.

This book is not that complicated. After all, it is not a suspense novel that focuses on logical reasoning.

He was surprised at first when faced with the new people in the Affairs Department, but he soon adapted to them.

This is an extraordinary apocalypse, and curiosity must be limited.

Style characteristics
I have heard of this author's books, but haven't read them carefully.

Because each book is relatively short, just barely breaking one million words.

The style of the book is too two-dimensional, which is not very friendly to older readers.

Many old 2D terms are impossible to understand at once and need to be interpreted through the explanations in this chapter.

The annoying thing is that this is a new book and there isn't much to say about it.

Finally, this is a veteran level 5 author in the two-dimensional category, and he is able to update stably and complete the work smoothly.

You can go and watch it without worry, you won’t suffer any loss.

【to sum up】

Writing is not easy, so cherish every moment!

I’m Cang Yiwei, and I’m here to promote “Cang’s Ramblings”!
Welcome to the paradise of book reviews.

【Cang's Ramblings】

The weather has not been very good recently. It rains all the time, making travel a bit inconvenient. I can no longer run like an old dog in the sun.

The humid weather is just like our damp hearts. If we can have a few good novels to keep us company, life will not be so hard to bear.

If you write book reviews for a long time, you will really become immune to it.

Especially for particularly toxic books, it is easy to hurt your mood when trying to read them.

Today's book is obviously an unfamiliar field and is difficult to digest.

As expected, anime is still good.

I hope there are fewer special settings in the book and more plot.

Write more!
It ends with only a million words, which always gives people a feeling of a bad ending.
