"Oh … so that's why." Feng Bujue looked at the few strands of golden hair between his fingers, and many questions were answered at that moment. "From my subjective perspective, I am still myself …" He reached out his hands and looked at his sleeves and palms. His outfit was undeniably the Joker outfit from the game. His skin was yellow, and when he raised his eyes, he could see his own black hair.
He placed the strands of hair under the magnifying glass. "But … from the perspective of this scenario, I should be another person. When the hair leaves the body, I will be able to see its real appearance. " He placed the hair on the table and took out the small wooden comb from his pocket. He used the magnifying glass to study the remaining strands of hair. "Hmm … the color, length, and texture are all similar."
Feng Bujue thought about it for a minute. "Wait a minute … When the scenario started, I only combed my hair twice. Unless my character has severe hair loss, there shouldn't be so many strands of hair stuck to the comb. "With that in mind, he used his hand to grab at the hair again, but this time, he used more force.
To his surprise, when he placed his hand before his eyes again, he saw a large clump of hair, and one of them was connected to a small piece of bloody scalp.
"What the f * ck …" Feng Bujue quickly opened the menu to check. Thankfully, his Life Points did not decrease because of that. He felt it carefully, but he did not feel any severe pain from his scalp.
"Okay, okay, okay … calm down … calm down …" he mumbled nervously. From his perspective, losing his hair was a very serious situation.
He tossed the hair away and calmed himself down. Then he realized something else. "Speaking of which … so far, I haven't found anything that looks like a mirror. Is it because the system doesn't want me to see 'myself'?"
Feng Bujue's eyes fell on the picture again. "Assuming the kid on the left is the kid who dragged me around in the introductory cinematic, and the other kid is the character I'm playing, what caused them to end up like this?" With that thought in mind, he turned the picture around.
On the back of the picture, there was a line of handwritten words — "Arthur and Andrew, my children, my love."
"Oh, are these two children brothers?" Feng Bujue thought to himself. "Wait a minute … Arthur and Andrew …" He picked up the comb again, and his eyes fell on the carving of A.A. "Arthur and Andrew?" He scratched his chin and thought to himself. "I told you this is a limited edition, hah …"
In the next ten minutes, Feng Bujue read the book "Advanced Alchemy" with great interest.
Flipping open the dark blue cover, the first thing that came into view was this paragraph: "After learning the 'Basics of Alchemy', you may think that the pinnacle of alchemy is to turn metal into gold, or to create some kind of life-prolonging potion.
This book will show you that such thinking is the height of folly.
Alchemy was a sacred technology that allowed humans to exist on the same level as gods. Those mediocre people whose brains are filled with the stench of money and longevity will never be able to touch the realm of God. "
Even though the wording and context of this paragraph were sarcastic and warning, Feng Bujue did not mind it at all. There was no doubt that these words exuded a noble aura, and this kind of temperament was the best way to arouse Feng Bujue's passion for research.
Unfortunately, Feng Bujue only finished the table of contents and the first chapter. The second chapter and the rest were all blurred … and Feng Bujue could not fully understand the content of the first chapter. Perhaps it was because he had not read the 'Basics of Alchemy', so he had no clue about many of the terms in the first chapter.
"In terms of chemistry, one has to be at least a high school or above. At the same time, one has to grasp a large amount of knowledge about the so-called 'philosophizing of matter' before one can complete the three steps of 'understanding, disassembling, and reconstructing' to perform the simplest of alchemy." After Feng Bujue saw that the second chapter was unreadable, he closed the book and mumbled to himself, "Just from the few examples in the first chapter, one can see how complicated the alchemy formula is … On this basis, combined with astrology, rune studies, and the alchemist's personal ability and talent, one can simplify it into an alchemy circle." He raised his head and sighed. "The Arthur in the video was only about ten years old, but he was reading this book with such a calm expression … What a genius …"
This' Advanced Alchemy 'was categorized as a plot item that could not be taken out of the scenario. It would definitely be useful in the game later, so Feng Bujue temporarily placed it inside his inventory. He put the photo into the inside pocket of his jacket.
Then, he searched the whole study again, but he did not find any clues, much less a key. Therefore, he picked up the oil lamp and the magnifying glass and moved to the next room.
The room next door was the kitchen. Facing the door was the stove and chimney. The stove was dirty, but from the traces on it, it was still in use. Below the stove was a cupboard, and the surrounding walls were filled with cupboards and cupboards.
In the middle of the kitchen was a wooden table with four legs. It was about two meters square. The tablecloth that covered the table was so dirty that the original pattern could not be seen anymore. A large bowl of meat sauce was placed on the table, and next to it was an unwashed plate. There was also some meat sauce left on the plate.
Looking out from the kitchen window, one could see the same scenery as the study … darkness and chaos. Theoretically speaking, the glass in this state could be used as a mirror, but when Feng Bujue walked to the glass, he could only see a blurry shadow. He then found a few metallic kitchen utensils and polished them until they were shiny. He wanted to see his reflection, but he still failed.
"The system is determined to prevent me from looking at a mirror, is it?" Feng Bujue shrugged.
Then, he opened every cupboard, looking for something that might be a clue. He found quite a number of pots and pans, but there was no knife or clue.
"It is impossible that there is nothing valuable in this room," he said after he searched the kitchen. "There is an oil lamp in the storage room, a magnifying glass, a picture, and a book in the study, so there must be something in the kitchen as well …" As he spoke, his eyes stopped at the bowl of meat sauce on the table.
"Okay, then …" He turned the bowl upside down, causing the meat sauce to spill onto the table. Then, he moved the bowl to the side and used his hand to poke at the meat sauce.
In the end, he found a key.
