"... Isn't it better to read introductory books?" Shen Zhuo said he couldn't understand.

Mo Congshuo looked up the dictionary so much that he wanted to gnaw on a tablet: "The introductory books for foundry masters can be read in a hurry, but that kind of understanding is useless. They are all practical guidance books, and you have to do it yourself."

Oh, I'm not strong enough.So the casting master is a gymnastics profession.Don't be greedy for magicians, you won't be envious.Can't use magic to replace physical movement, it will interfere with material performance.

"How about you come and watch me?" Mo Congshuo said to Shen Zhuo.

"I have done the work of a foundry master," Shen Zhuo said, "I used those skills when I was refining the companion sword."

"But the accompanying sword is a special case," Mo Congshuo said with a headache, "It is different from the skills of ordinary first-level casting masters. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary first-level casting masters to communicate with the casting objects. No, it is a normal high-level casting. It’s impossible to be connected.”

"Learn from scratch..." Shen Zhuo wondered if he could do it. In fact, he doesn't have much spirit of learning. Concentrating on learning sword master skills is the limit of his patience. The reason why he dabbled in forging master is only because of his accompanying sword You have to raise it by yourself, and the casting technology has nothing to do with the accompanying sword...

"No, forget it, it's not necessary." Mo Congshuo thought for a while and changed his mind, "It's enough for me to have a theoretical understanding of casting. Although watching videos is a bit troublesome, it's definitely more expensive than learning from scratch. Less time."

"So, why do you, a magician, want to learn the theory of the foundry?" Shen Zhuo said that the thinking mode of the sentinel and the guide are too different, so he is really at a loss.

"...Intuition," Mo Congshuo himself was not sure, "Intuition is useful?"

"Is this a question?"

"Anyway, it doesn't take too much time. It's not a bad thing to understand something superficially, right?"

"Many times, people are emphasizing concentration." Shen Zhuo said.

"Well... I focus on understanding and learning magic and my Sentinels from different angles."

"...sounds like I'm incidental?"

"Your delusion. You are as charming as magic to me."

"This time it sounds like I'm intervening. A third person between you and the magic."

Mo Congshuo smirked: "Xiao Zhuozi, don't deliberately find fault."

Shen Zhuo expressed his surrender with a smile.

After Mo Congshuo participated in the part-time activities of the space department in the school, he felt that he had gained a lot, and he had a new understanding in the production of space objects. At least the stability of the things he made would definitely increase greatly, and then he could sell better ones The price is more affordable as a gift.

With such joy in mind, Mo Congshuo and Shen Zhuo planned to go home before the inter-school exchange to send the freshly baked space pendant made by Mo Congshuo to their parents and younger brother—although it is not as professional as it is. The alchemist's is so exquisite, and the stability is still not as good as professional products, but it is tailor-made, and by the way, I am going to ask Father Shen, an expert who manages a small alchemy product shop, to evaluate the value.

Then on the way, the couple put on...

Although according to the Time Slot Group, it is easy to be involved in the time-space distortion once, and there will be countless times twice or three times, but, just outside the city of the imperial capital, next to the imperial capital school, and on the street where people come and go, this time-space distortion is Where did it come from?

If this time-space distortion is a natural phenomenon, it's okay, but if it's man-made, this person is really too brave, is he afraid that he won't be arrested?

Of course, Shen Zhuo and the others don't need to care about who caused the space-time distortion. What they need to care about is how to leave this space-time gap.

Yes, this time they were drawn into the space-time rift again, instead of being thrown casually by time-space distortion to a place hundreds of thousands of miles away, where they could go home only by ordinary transportation.To go home, they have to find their way again, and this time they are not sure what the connection with the outside world is.

To make matters worse, the way to go home is actually not something they urgently need to consider for the time being. The most urgent thing is that they have to prove their innocence, to be precise, to give them a reasonable reason not to be a murderer for appearing at the murder scene.

"Distortion of time and space? The imperial capital? Magicians and sword masters?" The police officer who interrogated them slammed the table, "Don't think that you can get away with pretending to be crazy and making up fantasy stories."

"It's great, this time it's really isolated, a gap where even magic doesn't exist." Shen Zhuo laughed, which attracted the police officer's glaring.

Mo Congshuo was a little more serious: "Just think of us as making up stories, but you can't decide that we are murderers just because we happened to appear at the murder scene and you bumped into us right? We didn't touch anything at the scene Well, the murder weapon—whatever it was—certainly did not have our fingerprints on it, nor did we have any relationship with the victim, unfriendly or friendly. The only thing we need to turn ourselves in to is that we are black households here. "

"Did you destroy your household registration?" The police officer showed contempt. "Currents are becoming more and more unscrupulous. Do you think we can't find out after destroying it?"

"Don't make up your mind so hard," Shen Zhuo said, "Is it illegal to convict someone randomly?"

The policeman snorted and showed disdain, but he didn't refute.

[The laws here don’t seem very reliable. ] Shen Zhuo was worried.

[At least there must be no professional privilege regulations. ] Mo Congshuo said.

[And the law enforcement officers seem very good,] Shen Zhuo is quite dissatisfied, [I really dare not hand over my innocence to these people. ] Having said that, in fact, he is not worried. In the worst case, they will be designated as murderers, and they can just escape.Since there are no professionals here, you have to go beyond.It would not be too difficult to escape from the prison, and the level of technology here seems to be quite low. In particular, it is impossible to have a capture device for professionals, and there is no pressure to fight with force.Of course, if possible, Shen Zhuo is still willing to be a good citizen who abides by the law, even though he is still a criminal here.

Pulling the time forward a little bit, and returning to the point where the two had just escaped from the distortion of time and space, Shen Zhuo immediately smelled the smell of blood, and it was human blood. Shuo Hu was in his arms, holding his sword to face the source of the smell of blood, and then saw a fresh corpse, which was dead within half an hour.

The place where they landed was a somewhat dark room. It was broad daylight, but the thick curtains blocked the sunlight from coming in. There was a lamp on the table, and the body was lying face down beside the table, with a big mouth open on its neck. , the light of the desk lamp was shining on the blood flowing from the neck of the corpse. The blood had not completely solidified on the light-colored floor, and the dark red reflection had a crystal-clear beauty.

The room is small, but there are a lot of things. Although there is a man who obviously committed suicide, there are no traces of fighting in the room. The only thing that was messed up seems to be that the man who has become a corpse accidentally fell down. What happened—oh, it can’t be called accidental, he should have passed out of breath when he fell down, and of course he couldn’t take into account the arrangement of the items.

Shen Zhuo looked over the situation in the room indifferently. Although the light was bad, the sentinel's vision had the attributes of a cat, and the darkness could not prevent them from taking a panoramic view of everything.

At the same time, Shen Zhuo also heard footsteps outside the door, the footsteps of a group of people ran to the door, opened the door, and then came straight to this room, knocking open the door that was locked from the inside.Before the door was knocked open, Shen Zhuo, who judged that the group of people were not threatening, had already retracted the accompanying sword into his body. After all, the corpse in front of him was killed by the sharp blade, but the murder weapon was not in the room. Shen Zhuo felt that he had better not take it The sharp sword is placed in front of the visitor, otherwise, what if these weaklings misjudged his accompanying sword as a murder weapon and insisted on borrowing it?

——Afterwards, it proved that although the act of withdrawing the accompanying sword was correct, the correct reason was completely different from what he was worried about.

It is said that the victim was talking on the phone with a friend before he died, and suddenly let out a terrified scream, and then fell silent again. Many neighbors of the victim also said that they did hear the scream.The friend immediately called the police in a panic, and although the neighbors didn't know what happened, someone also notified the property management to have a look.

The property management came earlier than the police. After they couldn’t contact the owner, they went around to look in through the window—the victim was on the first floor—because they couldn’t see inside immediately because of the curtains, but if there seemed to be no smell of blood, they They smelled it, although they didn't realize what it was like right away, but when the wind lifted the curtains to faintly reveal the man who fell to the ground and the glaring pool of blood red on the ground, they didn't want to know, so they could only know.

Call the police and call an ambulance. When the police arrived in a hurry, they caught Shen Zhuo who had landed for less than a minute.

Mo Congshuo tried to explain the magical rationale of the two of them appearing there, but the investigators were only willing to explain science to them, and warned them that if they talked nonsense, they would be convicted of obstructing the case.

The police officers who caught them at first really thought that the two of them were the murderers, not only because they appeared at the wrong time and place, but more importantly, their performance was too calm.Mo Congshuo avoided looking at the corpse to some extent, but Shen Zhuo's expression didn't pause at all when his eyes swept across the corpse, as if he was looking at any random object. If he couldn't see it clearly in a dark place, it could barely be explained. He was bold, but when the door was knocked open and the ceiling light was turned on, the pale corpse under the light and the side face that still showed the horror and pain of his life did not move him in the slightest... It had to be seen how many bloody corpses. Can you do it? !

Shen Zhuo said in his heart: I have seen quite a lot of corpses, and I have personally chopped up monsters that turned into humans and necromancers that were still human in terms of biological attributes.As a qualified professional, such a common thing... Hey, I can't explain it to you five scumbags.

However, Shen Zhuo and Shen Zhuo were later transferred to the homicide team, and the team leader Wei Xin immediately lowered the suspicion of the two of them. The reason was the same as the previous police officers. The time and place of their appearance was too coincidental. The performance is too calm, and these two are obviously contradictory.

When caught at the scene of a crime, one will either panic, or have the intention of surrendering himself. The latter may be calm, but it is impossible to make up a story to the police and not plead guilty.And a murderer who is calm enough will not stay where he is and wait for someone to catch him after committing the crime stupidly. The victim was on the phone before he died and screamed. Any murderer with a brain knows that someone will come soon. , how could he not escape?

Even if there is insufficient evidence to convict Shen Zhuo and his wife of murder, they will not be released because...

"Be honest, tell me, how did you get in?" Wei Xin bent his index finger and tapped on the table, "There is no record of you entering the victim's house in all the surveillance, and there is no record of your appearance, and your personal information is completely checked. No. No ID card, no household registration, no fingerprint record, it is completely blank. If you can’t tell your own background, you have a big problem. Even if you really have nothing to do with this case, you won’t be free for a while gone."
