Is Chapter 385 content only visible to him?
Thinking this, Tan Chi pulled Letekar straight to the mall.
Several insects followed closely behind, circling the mall a few times.
While they followed the disguised mechanical insect away, Tan Chi and Letekar had already boarded the aircraft prepared by the mechanical insect and returned home.
Tan Chi led Letekar to the living room and sat down, then took out the wooden box from his spatial storage.
"Honey, can you open this lock?"
He didn't know much about this stuff and didn't know if forcibly unlocking it would damage what was inside.
Tan Chi thought that this thing was originally meant to steal the protagonist, Michele.
If he makes a mistake and the things inside mutate, that would be a real problem.
Lutkar glanced at the lock's construction and nodded. "This lock is easy to open; it's a one-time use lock, and once opened, it can't be used again."
He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "My lord, are you sure you want to open it?"
Tan Chi nodded. "Okay, open it."
With Tan Chi's approval, Letekar easily opened the lock on the wooden box.
With a soft "creak," a smell mixed with a faint musty odor entered the nasal cavity.
Tan Chi frowned, instinctively protecting Letekar, and then... that was it.
Besides some dust, the box contained only a black fountain pen and a rather ordinary-looking book.
He picked up the book with a puzzled look, and when he opened it, the contents were exactly the same post he had read in the post-apocalyptic world before he transmigrated!
Tan Chi froze for a moment, then slammed the book shut.
Something's not right, something's very wrong, he must have acted too aggressively.
Otherwise, how could I have seen that book here?
He took a deep breath and opened the book again.
To his surprise, the insect-themed page on the first page of the book could not be opened.
The first few pages seemed to be glued together by an invisible force, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pry them apart even a little.
These pages, however, do not appear to have been glued together at all.
His heart was pounding like a drum, his brows furrowed repeatedly, and he decided to skip the initial setup and move on to the next part.
Then much of the content that follows is blank paper.
He could only turn to the page closest to the blank paper and then read on.
[Tan Chi won the bid for the wooden box from the ancient planet at the auction. He and Letekar used the mechanical insect Cicada to escape and safely returned home...]
Tan Chi: "..."
No, isn't that exactly what they just did?
The words in the book precisely describe everything that just happened...
Unconvinced, he flipped through the previous pages and read them again, becoming increasingly alarmed with each reading.
A chill ran up his tailbone, making his scalp tingle.
This is not the original text he read!
But this is also a novel, a novel that includes him!
A crazy idea suddenly exploded in his mind—if the plot of this book could actually happen, then... wouldn't he indirectly control the life and death of all the insects?
Without even thinking, he picked up the pen from the wooden box, found the blank space describing what happened after Michele left the auction, and began to write.
[After the auction ended, Michele was struck and killed instantly by an out-of-control cargo plane as soon as she left the auction hall.]
The ink was an eerie black; it fell onto the yellowed paper, only to vanish completely in the next second.
The paper was as smooth as ever, as if nothing had ever been written on it.
Tan Chi: "..."
So, wouldn't it be better to just kill off Michele? Tsk...
He didn't believe in superstitions and quickly wrote another sentence next to it.
[The mechanical insect, dressed in a maid outfit, entered the living room...]
Yes, the words quickly disappeared without a trace.
Tan Chi narrowed his eyes, then casually wrote down a sentence related to himself.
At this moment, Tan Chi, who was in the living room, suddenly felt a little hungry.
The writing has also disappeared.
Tan Chi then stopped, staring at the strange and unpredictable book, somewhat puzzled as to why it wouldn't work.
Could it be that only Michele can use this thing?
What? Can he really be the author?
He just wouldn't believe it!
He can't use it?!
Soon, Tan Chi had another idea.
This book is essentially a novel, a story that revolves around the main character and important supporting characters.
If Michele is the protagonist, then directly eliminating the protagonist would probably exceed the limits of the book's "rules".
What about changing the settings?
Even the main character can't have a smooth journey, right?
As long as I don't die, suffering a little is acceptable, right?
Tan Chi's lips curled slightly. He thought about the plot for a moment, and then started writing and drawing on the book again.
[Michael's protagonist aura has weakened considerably, to the point that it's insufficient to even support him in attracting new male insects.]
This time, the black writing suddenly flashed red, then turned black again, clearly imprinted on the paper.
It worked! This time the words didn't disappear!
Michael also obtained this book in his previous life, so the original book says that he was almost obsessed with insects in his later years, which is probably related to this book.
A creature like him would definitely use it to enhance his charm, so that all the male insects who see him would become infatuated with him.
This is what made him the so-called "mystery of ten thousand insects" in the book.
In reality, Michele was not top-tier in terms of either appearance or family background, especially before the Lanetta family had risen to prominence.
It's truly baffling to the insects that he can attract so many insects at the same time.
Now that this book has come out, he understands.
Those male insects may indeed be on good terms with Michael, but not to the point of sacrificing their own interests for Michael.
But with this book, their will became completely irrelevant.
Since Comiket knew this thing was so extraordinary, how could he let such a treasure fall into his hands so easily?
That's really a bit unbelievable.
Could it be that he has a backup plan?
"A powerful ruler?"
A cool yet gentle voice interrupted his thoughts.
Tan Chi snapped back to reality and realized that Letekar had been staring at him the whole time, his gaze constantly shifting between the wooden box and Tan Chi.
“You’ve been staring at this blank notebook and pen for quite a while now,” Rutke said, frowning slightly. “Is there something wrong with it?”
Blank notebook?
Blank?!
Tan Chi was taken aback, and subconsciously turned the book towards Letekar. "Can't you see the words on this?"
Lutkar leaned closer, his gaze sweeping across the pages, before shaking his head firmly. "There's really nothing on it."
Tan Chi: "..."
In other words, only he can see this content?
He opened his mouth, wanting to tell Letecar everything in the book.
However, when he opened his mouth, it was as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping his throat, and he could not make a sound.
Tan Chi: "..."
That's absolutely ridiculous.
Seeing Tan Chi's mouth opening and closing, Letekar's eyes showed even more confusion. "My lord, what are you trying to say?"
