The Genius Mage Chapter 78
Advertisement
After Cangzhu said that, he left without caring whether Audrey agreed or not.
Audrey wanted to follow Cangzhu out to take a look. After all, she had not seen anything other than monkeys along the way.
But by the time she stuck her head out, Cangzhu had disappeared again.
The dense bamboo forest was silent. There was no sound at all.
There was nothing else besides a few monkeys jumping up and down and secretly throwing a few stones at Audrey.
Moreover, Audrey did not know if she was hallucinating.
She looked at the few stones placed at the entrance of the cave.
There were not any of them when they first came in.
Could it have been placed before Cangzhu left?
However, Cangzhu's movements were too fast. As a result, she did not even get a clear look at what Cangzhu was doing.
This person was really a little strange.
However, there were no other clues other than this living person.
She had to find the location of the ancient book in the shortest time possible. Otherwise, she did not know what Houston and that old fellow were going to do to Calder.
Before Cangzhu left, she only said to look around in the cave.
Audrey could only follow her instructions and enter the cave to take a look.
The location of the cave was not very remote, but it was dark all year round.
Perhaps it was because it had been inhabited for a long time, but it was not damp inside.
It was even a little warm.
The moss only covered the crevices of the cave and the entrance to the cave. It looked like it had been specially decorated.
There were some books scattered on the stone table. Audrey flipped through them and lost interest.
They were all storybooks from the pleasure boats. They had nothing to do with ancient books.

Men and women loved each other, but they were all stories about the love between humans and demons.
Audrey looked around.
There were many strange symbols carved on the walls of the limestone cave. People of all sizes were holding swords and cheering. A handsome man stood on the altar.
The man was clearly enjoying the scene below the altar, but it gave Audrey an indescribable feeling.
Audrey looked at him strangely. She did not know why, but she always felt that this man was looking at her.
"Sister, what are you looking at?" Cangzhu walked in with a pile of fruits.
The things he picked were not things that should be in the bamboo forest.
Apples, oranges, bananas, grapes, and even kiwi fruits.
Something's wrong.
Something's really wrong.
Audrey quietly walked closer to the cave entrance.
There must be other parts of the domain besides the cave of Cangzhu.
But Cangzhu did not say a word.
As if he had not noticed Audrey's cold expression, Cangzhu walked over with a smile.
He saw that Audrey was interested in the paintings on the stone wall, so he smiled and began to explain, "Sister, are you very interested in these things?"
The strange feeling of being stared at became stronger and stronger, but the figures on the murals did not move at all.
Audrey could not help but use magic to investigate, but other than discovering the elemental power contained in the stone wall, she could not find anything else.
Audrey's expression turned solemn once again.
This was the second time she felt that her magic would not be of any use.
Cangzhu did not say anything. He just stood there quietly and watched Audrey think.
His face was even paler than when he had brought Audrey in. Compared to the brightly-colored fruits in his arms, it looked as if they were about to wither.

Audrey turned to look at Cangzhu. "When were these created?"
Cangzhu put down the things in his hands and thought for a moment. "These murals have been here since I was conscious. I don't know who carved them either. Is there a problem?"
"What about these things?" Audrey pointed to the notebook on the table. "These things have been here since you were conscious?"
She had just flipped through the notebooks. The paper still had the faint fragrance of a book, and some of the numbers recorded in the notebooks were the latest happenings.
In any case, they definitely had not existed for a long time.
If Cangzhu really could not get out of the domain, it meant that someone else had been able to enter and exit the domain over the years freely.
And from the looks of it, he had only been able to enter recently.
However, this was the Davis family's domain. At this stage, only Audrey was able to enter and leave the domain.
Cangzhu gave an ambiguous smile, his light brown eyes blinking. "Sister, have you really forgotten? You were the one who brought these things in."
"I've wanted to ask you for a long time, but it's only been three or four years. So why do you look like you don't know me?"
These words were squeezed into Audrey's mind.
She seemed to have seen something, but it immediately slipped away from her mind.
Cangzhu's pale face suddenly looked like a cold and dangerous snake, licking Audrey's heart along her blood vessels.
Audrey's expression stiffened.
The way she looked at Cangzhu was not fake...
In other words...

The Simulacrum
"He who fights with harem tropes should see to it that he himself does not become a harem protagonist. And if you gaze for long into a narrative, the narrative gazes also into you." --- Friedrich Nietzsche (probably?) How would you react if one day you woke up inside an environment running on tropes and clichés? For allegedly average high-schooler Leonard Dunning, this question became quite relevant when one day he woke up in a pristine city on a strange island in the middle of the Atlantic, without any memories, surrounded by classmates who are barely more than characterless placeholders, and with a classic indecisive harem protagonist and his impossibly beautiful love interests for friends. That would be hard to deal with already, yet his investigation into the tropes governing the world, trying to avoid harem shenanigans, and his odd blend of outside-context knowledge, unique abilities, and a penchant for causing trouble wherever he goes ends up dragging him into the center of the action anyway. Disclaimer: This is a tongue-in-cheek, slice of life romantic comedy, with occasional sprinkles of combat and mystery to spice things up. Please do not expect a straight up deconstruction beyond some in-universe meta-commentary by the characters.
