Welcome to the Unscientific

Chi Qing, editor of the urban legends column at a fashion magazine. She's seen plenty of UFO photos (with the cutout job still visible), ancient mythical beasts (drawn by high school girls), mermaid scales (that reek of plastic), and people with superpowers (sneaking off with the soup spoons). So when she repeatedly saw a man walk through the wall of her home, saying he was just taking a shortcut, her only thought was to call the police. Merlin: For the record, miss, this isn't a magic trick. Chi Qing: A sleight of hand trick? Merlin: Magic (smiles). Chi Qing (nodding): Sure. Go tell the police that. ☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆ This novel goes premium on Thursday, April 11. The paywalled chapters start at chapter 23. Thank you for your support. A few things to know: 1.
