I have a comic book house

"Who is it?" asked Andrei.

"Professor Charles Hoffman!" Christopher said a name, "Professor of mechanics at the University of Mines and Technology, expert in soul stones and tectonics, retired, living on a manor near Doom Town. "

Andrei stood up and moved, "So next, are we going to visit this Professor Hoffmann?".

"If you're ready, Mr. Sheva!" Christopher smiled and nodded.

"Always be ready!" Andre laughed, feeling that the mission was very easy.

After a little trimming, the trio set off for Professor Hoffman's estate, where Andre was surprised that Christopher refused the offer of assistance from the police department, and only one officer drove them to lead the way, and when they came to the outside of the estate, Christopher chased the officer away.

Charles Hoffman's estate is located on the southern outskirts of Doom Town, covering a large area, and the gate of the manor is wide open at this time, as if to welcome them!

When Christopher walked into the manor, he suddenly whispered to Andre, "If something happens, don't do anything!"

Andrei looked at him suspiciously.

"Professor Hoffman is an expert in mechanics, but not a murderer, he doesn't build an experimental killing machine for no reason, and I suspect someone is behind it!" Christopher explained softly.

As they spoke, they walked through the garden to the main building of the manor.

A white-haired old man stood in front of the door of the main building, wearing striped pajamas and holding a coffee cup in his hand, very leisurely waiting for the three of them to arrive.

"Hello, Professor Hoffman!" Christopher smiled as he approached the old man.

"Hello, Thunder McConaughey!" Professor Hoffman replied with a spirited salute.

Andre raised his eyebrows slightly, he only then knew that Christopher's nickname was Thunder McConaughey, but Professor Hoffman seemed to know it for a long time, indicating that he had been prepared!

"I've got breakfast ready!" Professor Hoffman gestured.

"Thank you, kind professor!" Christopher motioned for Professor Hoffman to lead the way, and then followed him unsuspectingly into the house.

André and Tilly followed.

Professor Hoffmann and the three of them walked around the huge residence, and André found that the servants standing on both sides were all constructed bodies, they were wearing servants' clothes, standing there quietly, and Andrei secretly counted the numbers, and his heart felt a chill.

Christopher's face remained unchanged and he looked at the structures with great interest, while Tilly remained expressionless.

Professor Hoffman led them to the dining room, where the long table was filled with fine cutlery and food, and Professor Hoffman sat down in the master's seat, "First of all, I'm sorry!".

Christopher was about to speak, when the two construct-based servants standing on the side suddenly burst out, one of them suddenly grabbed Tilly, and the other waved the dinner knife in his hand and wiped Tilly's neck directly, blood splashed, and Tilly fell to the ground.

Andre was so dumbfounded that he took out his 'sin' and wanted to shoot at the construct, but Christopher stopped him with a blank face, "Remember what I said?"

Andre glanced at Tilly, who was lying on the ground and bleeding, and glared at Christopher fiercely, "She's your assistant!"

"Please be patient, Mr. Sheva!" Christopher's face grimaced.

Andre kept his face calm, hesitated for a moment, and then put away his 'sins'.

"I apologize again, gentlemen!" Professor Hoffman motioned for the two to sit down, "Your assistant is a threat, and I must cut it off before we can have a friendly and peaceful conversation!"

Christopher sat down generously, "So, we can start talking!" Professor Hoffman, allow me to ask, your target is me, right?".

"That's right!" Professor Hoffman admits with great generosity, "to start a mechanical revolution, Thunderbolt and Thunder McConaughey are the first targets to be cut!"

"With all due respect, Professor Hoffman!" Christopher smiled disdainfully, "these inferior constructs can't make a mechanical revolution, and your construction skills are sophisticated enough, but in my opinion there are still many loopholes!".

"I want to hear it!" Professor Hoffman looked at Christopher playfully.

"Your wiring technique is very ingenious, but the protection is not enough, there are too many dead angles in defense, and the welding skills are skilled, but the materials are too poor, resulting in the welding point being attacked violently, and it is easy to fall off! Christopher said in a rambling voice, seemingly instructing Professor Hoffman on how to perfect his constructs.

Professor Hoffman restrained his banter, showed a surprised expression, and nodded slightly after Christopher's explanation, "With your method, you can indeed save 30% of energy consumption! Mr. McConaughey, I salute you, would you like to join our organization? I can recommend you as the leader of the research group!".

Christopher smiled noncommittally at Professor Hoffman's invitation, and continued to point out the flaws in his construction, "As for the material of the construct, if it were me, I would choose the material of Modrek Steel, the steel they developed has made a lot of improvements in toughness and lightweight, which can further reduce energy consumption!"

"I think the materials at the DeWalt steel plant are also good, the price/performance ratio is excellent, and most importantly, they are a perfect match for my welding technology!" replied Prof. Hoffmann.

The two had such a heated discussion, from the adaptation of the soul stone to the layout of the cable to the choice of materials, all of which were mechanical terms that Andre couldn't understand.

Andre's eyes couldn't help but widen, it was obviously an arrest operation, why does it seem more like an academic exchange scene now?

"Thunder McConaughey is indeed a mechanical genius!" Professor Hoffman sincerely admired, "allow me to extend an invitation to you again, sincerely! The structure is the future, it is the low-cost and efficient productivity, it is the spark of the mechanical revolution, and it cannot be monopolized by the 'Chamber of Commerce'!"

"Thank you very much for your invitation!" Christopher smiled, "but I'm going to decline your kindness!"

"As you can see, Mr. McConaughey," Professor Hoffman smiled faintly, "and there are only two paths before you: accept the invitation or die, or shall I threaten the life of the gentleman next to you?"

Andre sneered and put the 'sins' on the table, the meaning was obvious, my life is here, if you have the ability, you will take it!
