Magic!

Thorn Bird said in the tone of chatting with friends or junior students:

"I majored in the Department of Psychiatry and Illusion at the academy. But before I returned to youth and entered the academy, I was a famous witch, and my legend was spread throughout Europe and Asia.

"Like witches in other fairy tales, I am good at refining potions, casting curses, and communicating with the souls of the dead. I live on the boundary between the other side of death and the present world. According to today's school of thought, the witchcraft I master is closer to the undead and life. field."

Famous witches, fairy tales and legends, the boundary between the other side of death and the present world... Each word reminded Russell of a certain name in Slavic fairy tales and legends, the witch who was once mentioned by the Arctic wolf.

Baba Yaga!

Thorn Bird revealed such important information to me directly? Well, it might be fake. Russell's thoughts were spinning and he asked again:

“You are a true master.

"Can you tell me why you want to create this occult plague and turn so many students back into ordinary people?"

Hundreds of thorn birds chuckled at the same time, and said in unison:

"To find someone."

"Who are you looking for?" Russell asked in surprise.

"Find the heroic pharmacist who can create strange prescriptions, cure patients one after another, and is destined to turn the tide in this plague." Hundreds of thorn birds answered at the same time.

"Me?" Russell was quite shocked.

"yes."

The Thorn Bird created such a plague, causing many students to lose their extraordinary abilities overnight, just to find him?

Russell was incomprehensible.

He smelled a whiff of fatalism from the so-called destiny, and suspected that this was another prophecy involving himself, and that the Thorn Birds were just trying to find the son of the prophecy that met certain conditions.

But the plot won’t be so simple and repetitive, right?

Surely it’s not a prophecy?

So why must we find ourselves?

Is there something unique to you that others don’t have?

The mutant’s magical talent?

No, while rare, it's not unique to me.

Could it be that...

Can I twist the destiny of the "drama character" with an abnormal physique?

As soon as this idea appeared in Russell's mind, it exploded like a bomb.

"So I said, I have no hostility towards you." Hundreds of thorn birds said in unison:

"I just want to invite you to my home, and we can discuss the knowledge of refining potions together. I have much more occult knowledge than you, but you are more talented.

"We can study together how to make those students who have lost their extraordinary power get rid of mediocrity and become extraordinary again.

"Isn't this what you want to do? I have given you all the occult knowledge of constructing the plague through the hands of Professor Opal...

"I will train you well, and by then you will be the best alchemist in the world...

"You don't think that the academy can teach you more than me..."

There is some kind of magic in the Thorn Bird's words - literally, there is magic in it, slowly weakening Russell's psychological defense.

Russell's eyes became more and more blurred, and he felt less and less defensive in his heart. He felt that the other party really had no hostility towards him and was a strong and trustworthy person.

Even if the wind chime on the mobile phone keeps shouting about the horror and crimes of the thorn bird, it cannot stop the owner's mental decline.

Feeling that Russell was gradually letting go of his inner defenses, hundreds of thorn birds took a few steps closer at the same time, trying to push open the final door:

"By the way, you should have noticed it a long time ago.

“Your physique is very special, like a character in a play, able to twist the trajectory of fate.

"The mediocre people in the college, including the principal, can't figure out the source of your unusual fate. But I can give you the answer.

"As long as you accept me as your teacher, I will tell you where the abnormal destiny in you comes from, how to use it, and where will it lead you?

"Also, I will tell you your life experience..."

The source of my abnormal physique!

My life experience!

Russell never imagined that the thorn bird could provide the answer to a question that had long troubled him.

These words fell into Russell's mind like a bolt from the blue. They further accelerated the disintegration of the defenses in his heart, but they also made him sober up a little.

Thump thump thump thump.

The sound of the heart in the chest reached Russell's ears.

Feeling the power that invaded his soul, Russell's heart began to move eagerly again. The Demon King was only a few centimeters away from his final awakening.

At the same time, hundreds of thorn birds from all directions were still giving their final persuasion:

“Okay, Russell, leave with me.

"I will send the sleeping Professor Opal back to the academy, but he will forget everything that happened tonight.

"If you wish, I can make everyone in the college forget you. If you want the principal to forget you, it will be a little troublesome, but it is not impossible..."

Amidst hundreds of cascading voices, Professor Opal stood up slowly, but his eyes were blurred and empty, and he had not yet escaped from the state of hypnotic charm.

A crack appeared in the space in front of Professor Opal, and the scene of the formal academy's back entrance appeared on the other side of the dimensional crack. The hypnotized Professor Opal did not hesitate and slowly walked into the rift. Then the rift closed again and the space became flat again. .

In front of Russell, there was also a pitch-black spatial rift torn open.

Gusts of cold wind surged out of the dark cracks, leading nowhere.

Russell's body once again refused to obey, and he walked step by step towards the space rift in front of him, about to step into it and head to the Thorn Birds' base camp.

"Russell Russell Russell."

"Russell!"

On the mobile phone screen, the images of wind chimes and sleep demons flashed one after another. They kept calling Russell's name, but they were unable to help Russell regain control of his body.

The three contracted spirits also tried to leave the magic phone and save their master, but there was a layer of majestic spiritual energy outside the phone, which was like an indestructible barrier, temporarily sealing them in the magic phone.

Thump thump thump thump.

The heart beats harder and harder.

Seeing that Russell was only one step away from stepping into the dark space rift, he took advantage of the brief awakening he had just recovered and the increase in mental resistance brought about by the Demon King's further awakening, and managed to temporarily regain some of his body from the control of the Thorn Bird. of control.

"Hand, listen to me!"

Russell made a fist with his right hand and punched his left chest.

"Wake up!"

It's like a volcano erupting, and like a dam bursting.

Russell felt that surging heat burst out in his left chest. It was as if a small volcano erupted in his left chest, and the fiery pain made him scream.

With the help of this power, he finally regained control of his body. His eyes that were originally dazed and confused became clear again, and his mind that was about to fall returned to its original state.

The majestic and indescribable momentum shot straight into the sky and dispersed the stratus clouds in the sky.

The surging air waves rolled under the night, turning large tracts of dense forest into a magnificent sea of ​​​​forests, with each wave higher than the other.

The second sentence of the prophecy came true today.

Russell awakens the demon in his heart!

Because some people may not understand it well, let me explain it again.

When a person says a series of words, except for the last sentence, all other paragraphs have only front quotation marks and no back quotation marks. This does not mean that he has forgotten the back quotation marks.

for example--

I said:

“It’s a nice day today. It’s really nice and the sun is shining.

"The only pity is that there was a Category 8 typhoon. The wind was so strong that it blew my cat away.

"It would be better if there was no typhoon, or if the typhoon was only Category 7."
