The Devil Inside

There are restrictions set up by her personally at the entrance of the stairs. No unauthorized persons are allowed to enter. The sounds from outside can be heard inside, but the sounds from inside cannot leak out.

He saw that Han Solo's mouth was moving, but he could not hear anything.

that's it.

Holden stood at the stairs, watching Teacher Monica and Han Solo disappear.

……

……

[Whether facing a top-notch master or a powerful official, Teacher Monica is always calm and restrained. But in front of you, she behaves very differently.]

[This can be easily seen from the smile on her lips. ]

[Holden didn't know how to describe that smile, he just felt it was familiar. He thought about it for a long time, and finally remembered where he had seen a similar smile - on his father's face. ]

[This is the smile of the poor to the rich, the smile of the lowly to the noble, the smile of the weak to the strong.]

【Its meaning is to please and flatter. 】

[Why did Teacher Monica show such a submissive smile to Han Solo? In Holden's mind, Teacher Monica has always been a flower on the mountain top, who can only be admired from afar and not be played with. He doesn't want to think about it deeply. ]

[Raid was successfully launched, free points +25 (from Holden). 】

Why is it 25 points again?!

Holden gave Han Solo attribute points, and Han Solo was very happy.

But could you please not give so much? The meeting lasted no more than three minutes, and the second-level reward was triggered twice in a row. It's really scary.

Now I have to be careful of Holden shooting me in the back.

and--

"To please and flatter"?

Han Solo looked at Monica in front of him.

Of course he could feel that Monica's attitude towards him had changed greatly. It might be an exaggeration to say that it was a 180-degree change, maybe about 160 degrees!

When we met for the first time, Monica's attitude was not too bad and was considered normal.

But the personality she displayed was not at all sloppy.

Leila and Rachel jointly guarantee that she still pays attention to her own feelings. If she says no, it means no, and she refuses three times in a row, either politely or directly.

Leila fidgeted and Rachel was embarrassed, but she didn't care.

Look at now.

It’s hard to say “to please and flatter”. This is Holden’s twisted psychology. He is so jealous that he is out of his mind and talking nonsense.

But Monica is really a little...

Feeling that he had put himself in a weak position, Han Solo even had an "illusion" that he could now make some excessive demands.

While thinking, he had already arrived at Han Solo's bedroom.

Han Solo pointed at the desk and said, "Teacher Monica, take a look for yourself! Is this your study?"

"Is it my study?"

Monica played dumb.

Han Solo shook his hand. He held the short ladder on the large bookshelf and pulled it left and right. The rollers made a clattering sound and were very smooth. "This is obviously your bookcase. Look at this slide. It's so smooth! You should use it often."

Monica put her knuckles on her chin and tilted her head: "You think so?"

Han Solo walked over to the luxurious desk again and picked up a pen from the pen holder: "I bet there's ink in it. This is your desk."

"Hmm... maybe not?"

Han Solo finally walked to the recliner and patted the white fox fur cushion: "I can even imagine you lying on it reading a book. Maybe you were lying on it yesterday."

indeed so.

Monica smiled: "Now I remember, this is indeed my study...so what?"

What, what so?

Han Solo asked, "Since this is your study, why... do you want me to sleep here? I see this building is quite large, and there are not many members of the Shadow Chasing Society, so there should be quite a few empty rooms! I think I should change rooms. There are so many books in your study, it's not convenient to move them around."

Monica raised her hand: "That's not necessary. You sleep and I read. We don't interfere with each other and there will be no conflict."

no……

"what?"

Han Solo was shocked!

What do you mean, I sleep mine and you watch yours?

Can this be confused?

Monica's face turned serious: "Han, I know the Shadow Chasing Association better than you do. Of course, I have a purpose for placing you here."

Han Solo folded his arms, already defensive, "I'd like to hear more."

Because I want to have more contact.

If it were arranged as usual, Han Solo should sleep on the second floor. If Monica wanted to find him, she would inevitably run into other disciples.

If you do it too many times, you will definitely be suspected.

You are a spellcaster famous throughout the continent, why do you always run into your disciple's room? Are you trying to eat young grass?

But if Han Solo is placed on the third floor, there is no such concern.

You don’t even need to actively look for it; you will come across it naturally.

There are restrictions on the third floor that she set up personally. It can be said that this is one of the most secretive places on the Zelmon continent.

There are not many people in the world who have the ability to spy on this place.

As for the reason——

Monica tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said, "Several books have been stolen from my collection in recent months."

"?"

Han Solo frowned.

Monica continued, "The thief probably didn't have any bad intentions. He only stole one book at a time and returned it after reading it. I even received a review he wrote about it, sandwiched between the books. It was simply a provocation to me."

Han Solo was a little unconvinced: "Really? Teacher Monica, you mean... let me be a security guard?"

"You can think so. After all, you have outstanding perception abilities. Even I am not as good as you."

Monica curled her lips and smiled, somewhat charmingly.

She looked at Han Solo with her wine-red eyes and said, "Are you willing to take this job? Or, I'll change your room."

Han Solo hesitated.

Monica added, "You don't have to worry about security. There's only a wall between my room and yours. If the thief attacks you, I'll be able to sense it immediately. It will be easy for me to protect you and capture him."

"..."

This is indeed true.

You cannot attack when you are invisible, and attacking will inevitably destroy your invisibility. Monica is powerful and trustworthy.

but--

Why does it sound so fake?

[Teacher Monica and Han Solo...what are they doing on the third floor? It's getting dark, they won't come down tonight, right?]

【Holden is in a state of unrest.】

[Raid was successfully launched, free points +5 (from Holden). 】

This……

In "Yellow Hair Simulator", it is extremely difficult to get attribute points from Holden.

Especially in the early stages, the profit was basically a little bit or two, and Han Solo wanted to restart countless times.

After getting familiar with the situation, Han Solo acted like a beast several times and ruined Holden's plans several times before he made great gains.

Now, it's only been a few minutes?

He has provided Han Solo with 55 attribute points, so he really has to live there. The third floor is so good, and Han Solo has wanted to live there from the beginning.

Han Solo nodded and said, "No problem! Teacher Monica, if you don't find it difficult, I'm happy to help."

"very good."

Monica was also very satisfied.

Chapter 55#055 Reason evaporates+

Formerly Monica's study, now Han Solo's bedroom.

The sun is setting in the west.

Monica saw that it was almost time for dinner, so she summoned the messenger to fly out of the window.

It was an owl that shone with dark colors.

[That is... the messenger that Teacher Monica uses for shopping! All merchants on Merchant Street recognize it, and Teacher Monica can shop conveniently without leaving home.]

[What did it fly out to buy? Could it be, could it be...]

[Rapid raid was successfully launched, free attribute +5 (from Holden). ]

A moment later, the owl returned with an insulated box on its feet, containing two steaming steaks.

After eating, the owl flew away with the incubator and did not come back this time.

[Now I can see clearly that it is the lunch box from the Auschwitz Hotel. Fortunately, fortunately...]

[What about the food in Auschwitz? A glass of water costs 1 silver coin. Teacher Monica, you must have spent a lot of money.]

[Rapid raid was successfully launched, free attribute +1 (from Holden). ]

Han Solo lay on the recliner, watching the changes in the golden sand text. Holden didn't have many other thoughts, so he probably just kept paying attention to the sky outside the window to catch the whereabouts of the messenger.

He turned around and looked at Monica, who was working at her desk, not knowing what to say.

Is this really his bedroom?

Why does Monica work here? Is there no private space left?

It’s hard to say, after all, I’m living under someone else’s roof.

And Monica was very quiet. She didn't say anything until Han Solo spoke.

Han Solo was sitting there bored, so he made small talk and said, "Teacher Monica, I want to get a messenger."

"A messenger?"

Monica quickly raised her head, capped her pen, and stopped writing.

Han Solo nodded: "Are there any for sale?"

Yes, there are, but the quality of the regular couriers is very average. Many of them only have the ability to send messages, fly very slowly, and are prone to death.

The messenger walks in the virtual world, and death is a common occurrence.

"For good quality ones, you have to bid for them at auctions. To be honest, the ones sold in specialty stores don't perform well and are expensive."

Monica's wine-red eyes sparkled.

She already had an idea: "I have a 'dragon skin', which is a page from the Book of Embers...Han, do you know the Book of Embers?"

Han Solo knew: "It's used in the contract, right?"

"Yes, you are...very knowledgeable."

Monica smiled.

As expected of Lord Han, Book of Embers is a very formal name and is rarely used nowadays. Most people only know of it as “Book of Contract” or “Book of the Messenger” because that is more intuitive.

"Hold on."
