The backdrop can also be propped up.

Chapter 71: Starting the Planning

After analyzing the original plot and side stories for a long time, Lu Renkui and the system WQBYRZM finally determined that several people were the culprits who caused Borist's subsequent imprisonment.

The first one was a nun in the church, Evangeline.

Evangeline and Borest were childhood sweethearts, and Evangeline had long harbored feelings for Borest.

Unfortunately, her flirtatious glances were directed at a blind man, and Borest was completely unaware.

Later, Evangeline used the male protagonist Heledi as a stand-in for Borest. After Heledi discovered this, she disappeared for dozens of chapters, and when she reappeared, she killed Heledi.

The second is Celeste, Heledi's childhood sweetheart.

Celeste was heartbroken after discovering that Helene was a womanizer.

In his grief, Celeste encountered Borest.

Borest felt pity for Celeste because her hair color resembled that of her younger sister Carola, who had died young due to poor health.

After being moved by Borest, Celeste sought out Celeste, hoping he would cooperate with her to kill Heledi.

Celeste agreed, and based on her knowledge of Heledi, she and Evangeline lured Heledi out and killed her.

Then, pretending to be devastated, they tricked Borest into coming out. Together with Evangeline, they locked Borest in the basement.

The third is the witch Elena, who is mentioned indirectly in the text as having fought Borist many times.

After being seriously injured by Borist, Elena was taken home by Heledi.

However, Elena did not like Heledi.

However, during that time, her arch-nemesis Evangeline was using Heledi as a stand-in. Elena mistakenly believed that Evangeline liked Heledi, so she went to the church every day to provoke Evangeline.

Elena later discovered that Evangeline didn't react much to her provocations, and realized that Evangeline actually didn't like Helene, but liked Borest.

To spite Evangeline, Elena approaches Borist and asks to be his girlfriend.

After being rejected, Elena was severely injured by Borest. Enraged, Elena provoked and provoked Evangeline, accelerating Evangeline's descent into darkness.

After reviewing the storylines of these three individuals, Lu Renkui began to consider countermeasures.

"Judging from these three people, Celeste should be able to avoid this."

"Elena has absolutely no romantic storyline. Let's figure out a way to stop her from talking about this and that in front of Ivangeline."

“The most difficult one to deal with is Evangeline. She and the original owner were childhood sweethearts, and she knows the original owner quite well. I estimate that if I say a few words to her, I might give myself away.” Lu Renkui said with some difficulty, “But according to Borist’s activity pattern, he goes to the church to read by lamplight every night from 8:00 to 12:00. He didn’t go today because it was raining too hard.”

“If we don’t go to church for several days in a row, I think Evangeline might come looking for the original owner of this body. It’s only a matter of time before we’re discovered.” Lu Renkui had a headache.

“If we have a suitable reason, we might be able to delay it a little longer. Didn’t the original text say that Corolla was frail, sickly, and died young? Perhaps we can use Corolla as a reason,” said System WQBYRZM.

Lu Renkui clapped his hands: "That should work. Just say it's to treat Carola's illness. Does the original text say what illness Carola has?"

"They didn't say. Go look at your medical records yourself."

"...Okay, I'll go look for the medical records. Where are they?"

"Don't you have a magic wand? Just have the wand fetch it for you."

"I don't know how to use it."

"Why don't you just gather all the surrounding magic towards the tip of your wand and then issue the command?"

After listening to the system WQBYRZM's words, Lu Renkui picked up his wand and tried to add all the magic around the wand to the tip.

It must be said that the original owner was also quite strong, and Lu Renkui easily gathered all the surrounding magic power.

Then Lu Renkui thought about it for a moment, and then he thought about Carola's medical record.

A moment later, a flash of white light appeared, and a notebook with a red cover flew into Lu Renkui's hand.

Lu Renkui opened the notebook, and the scribbled characters crammed together made her frown.

Through Lu Renkui and the system WQBYRZM's persistent searching and guessing, they finally figured out what the messy characters on the medical record were supposed to mean.

"Frequent gum bleeding, subcutaneous bruising, and the bleeding is hard to stop... It sounds a bit like scurvy, doesn't it?" Lu Renkui looked at Carola, who was lying on the bed sleeping with a pale face, and thoughtfully stroked his chin, asking, "What was the original owner's family background like?"

"Things were fine before, but since their parents died, their food conditions have deteriorated significantly, and these two children are probably malnourished. Carola is even weaker, so the consequences of malnutrition will be more severe." System WQBYRZM flipped through the original text and told Lu Renkui somewhat angrily.

"Hmm... To treat scurvy, I remember needing to eat more foods rich in vitamin C and more vegetables." Lu Renkui thought about the treatment for scurvy. "Is there any fruit in this world that contains vitamin C?"

"Wait a minute, let me check." System WQBYRZM began searching. "This world has purple berries. You can also check at the fruit stand to see if they have oranges or other fruits."

“Okay, if it doesn’t rain tomorrow, I can go check out the stalls,” Lu Renkui said. “That’s a good excuse not to go to church.”

“The original owner’s physical condition was also a bit poor.” Lu Renkui touched his wrist, and could feel the bone directly. “He needs to strengthen his exercise.”

"And then there's the issue of making money." Thinking of how the original owner and her sisters were left with only a group of relatives who had taken away their parents' achievements in magic and gave them money whenever they felt like it, Lu Renkui sighed.

"At my age and with my physical condition, I probably can't go hunting in the mountains anymore, but I should be able to do some work like organizing books."

"I saw a task panel in the original text that gives out tasks. You can check it out tomorrow to see if there are any jobs that the original owner's current physical condition can handle." System WQBYRZM flipped through the original plot and found a pretty good place to make money.

“Alright, I’ll go take a look tomorrow,” Lu Renkui said, then began flipping through the spellbook in the original owner’s room—after all, he had just arrived here and was unfamiliar with the place, so he should learn a few spells for self-defense.

And so, Lu Renkui stayed outside until the rain stopped before lying down on the recliner, pressing the spellbook against his face and falling asleep.

He only slept for three hours—because Lu Renkui was woken up by the alarm clock set by the original owner of the body.

Lu Renkui quickly turned off the alarm clock and then got up to check if Olivia and Carola had been woken up.

The two little girls were still asleep in their most comfortable positions on the bed, which put Lu Renkui at ease.

After getting up, Lu Renkui chose to eat breakfast without hesitation between the two options of exercising and eating breakfast.

Given the original owner's current physical condition, Lu Renkui felt it was best to regulate his schedule first—at least he should go to bed early at night, otherwise Lu Renkui was afraid he might suddenly die of exhaustion while running.

With both parents deceased, the original owner and her sisters had a rather awkward position at home. They had to get their own breakfast, and if they were late, there probably wouldn't be any left.

Following the original owner's memories, Lu Renkui went to the kitchen, received bread and two bowls of soup from the servants working there, and then returned to Borist's room.

The two younger sisters had already woken up. Lu Renkui first broke the bread into pieces and mixed it into the soup, letting the two girls eat first. He himself was thinking about where to get something to eat—it was no wonder that eating dry bread and just throwing ingredients into a mushy soup without any regard for taste every day was hardly a balanced diet.

The two little girls didn't have big appetites; they each ate half a bowl and were almost full.

Lu Renkui poured the contents of the two bowls into one, drank it all in one gulp, and then took out clothes for his two younger sisters to change into.

After the two younger sisters changed their clothes, Lu Renkui tucked one under each arm and led them onto the vehicle to school.

After sending his two younger sisters to their school, Lu Renkui realized that time was running out, so he took out his wand and tried to cast a flight spell on himself.

The good news is that it took off.

The bad news is that because it was my first time using it and I wasn't very familiar with it, I almost bumped into someone, and that person happened to be my teacher.

"Hello, teacher." Lu Renkui looked at the balding male teacher in front of her with trepidation—she wasn't afraid that the male teacher would be angry, but rather that the ecstatic expression on his face frightened her.

"You not only previewed your lessons, but you also applied them to real life." The Mediterranean teacher grasped "Borist's" hand.

Lu Renkui didn't know what expression would be appropriate for the original owner's personality, which was not good at socializing, so she could only make a smile using Borist's face.

"Is there anything that needs improvement?" Lu Renkui asked, seeing that the Mediterranean male teacher was still holding her hand. She tried to pull her hand away by asking a question.

“Where is there room for improvement? No, there isn’t.” The male teacher’s eyes narrowed with laughter, and you could see the large vegetable leaves stuck to his teeth as he grinned. “You don’t seem to have many friends in class, right? So, for your mental health, I’ll have you teach this class today.”

"This, this isn't appropriate." Lu Renkui thought carefully about the spellbook she had taken last night. She remembered that it was a mid-level magic book, meant for children aged 14 to 18, right?

"I learned this by myself last night while looking through an intermediate magic book."

Lu Renkui spoke softer and softer because she saw the Mediterranean male teacher's smile grow even brighter, and the light reflected off his bald head seemed even brighter than before.

"Genius! Genius!" The male teacher patted "Borist's" shoulder instead. "You can successfully replicate a spell just by looking at an intermediate magic book and use it in real life! I can't do that. You have to come to class today!"

Lu Renkui fell silent; she had underestimated the original owner's abilities.

Was the original owner really not the protagonist? This person's level of superiority is almost higher than the protagonist's!

Today was another day of being carried along by the original owner of the body.
