Magic!

"What does this mean?" Feng Ling was puzzled.

"It means that the baby may be a monster, and according to the rules, the monster does not need to breathe." Russell said sternly, "That's why, what we hear in the distance is the monster's roar and grinding of teeth, but when we get close, the sound is... It became the cry of a baby.”

The more Feng Chime thought about it, the more frightened he became. He felt that there were traps everywhere in this endless corridor, and he would step on them if he was not careful.

"Then the woman just now said that some of the rules were false, and she did violate some of the rules..." Feng Ling lowered his head and thought deeply.

"Maybe that woman is the only one who doesn't have to abide by the rules. Don't forget, in this endless corridor, there is a category of people who don't have to abide by the rules."

Before the wind chime recalled the rules, Russell calmly said the answer: "Dead man."

"Oh Russell, don't scare me. Do you mean that the woman is dead? What kind of ghost story is this?" Feng Ling looked like he was about to cry.

"What are you afraid of? Aren't you a dead person yourself?" Russell was quite speechless.

"Oh, yes, I am also a dead person." Feng Chime then remembered.

She suddenly thought:

"So, I don't need to follow the rules."

Russell nodded slightly and approved Feng Chime's analysis.

Just like before, Russell walked along the corridor and entered the new room.

This time, there were a dozen people standing on either side of the room.

No, not a human!

They are lifelike wax figures.

The wax figure looks extremely lifelike, like a real person staring at Russell. Just walking around these wax figures made Russell feel like he was being watched.

Russell blinked, and green flames rose in his eyes.

But those wax figures that looked like dead objects did not undergo any change and did not turn into stone.

It's really useless... Russell thought to himself.

When he walked to the middle of the room and passed several wax figures, Russell vaguely heard what seemed to be rapid footsteps behind him.

This scene immediately appeared in Russell's mind——

Behind him, the wax figures moved and walked towards him.

Of course, Russell, who was familiar with the rules, would not turn his head. Instead, he raised his phone and used the selfie function and front-facing camera to look at his back.

The scene behind Russell was reflected on the phone screen.

The positions of several wax figures have changed and turned into running shapes, as if they were running towards Russell.

The four hands of the two wax figures were about to reach the back of Russell's head, as if they were about to fall down and grab Russell's neck or head in the next second.

However, these wax figures are still motionless. If Russell hadn't made sure that the wax figures were standing in two neat rows when he first walked into the room, he probably wouldn't have found anything wrong.

"Will the wax figure move when I can't see it?" Russell lowered his head and analyzed, "Your house is really interesting, clown."

Walking out of the fourth house facing down, Russell walked through the corridor again.

"Wind Chime, you try to go through the wall on the left and see what this long corridor looks like outside?"

Russell mentally ordered the wind chimes.

The shadow of the white-haired ghost girl appeared beside Russell.

As a dead person, although she was already in an endless corridor, she did not need to follow the order to keep moving forward!

The wind chime passed through the wall on the left and emerged from the wall on the right at the same time.

"As expected."

Russell nodded slightly and ordered the wind chime to pass through the ceiling at the top, but this only caused the ghost girl to emerge from the floor.

With the ability to pass through walls, there is no way to leave this circular space!

He pushed open the dark wooden door.

When Russell opened the wooden door, what he saw was a mirror house composed of dozens or hundreds of mirrors.

"We're back in the first room again. It turns out it's really a cycle. The woman just now didn't lie to us on this issue." The wind chime on the phone said to itself.

"Since we have become familiar with the few friends in this endless corridor just now." A smile appeared on the corner of Russell's mouth:

"Then it's time for our performance!"

Looking at Russell with dozens or hundreds of different postures up and down, left and right, Russell did not walk forward directly, but walked backwards step by step, exited the room, and closed the door behind him.

[Rule 2: Don’t look back, turn around, or look behind. Otherwise the neck will be broken. 】

The rules only say that turning around or turning around will break your neck, but they don’t say that you are not allowed to walk backwards!

Of course, while walking backwards, Russell was briefly suffocated because he did not continue to follow the order to move forward, but there was no real danger.

The man in the mirror, who had been waiting to trap his prey, was stunned when he saw this scene.

Why did this man leave the room while walking backwards?

What are you doing?

In fact, in the mirror room, there is only one "mirror man", and Russell's reflections in all mirrors are his incarnations.

As a supernatural creature created by the power of rules in this endless corridor, the Man in the Mirror has no fixed body shape, but can appear in any mirror here at the same time, and imitate the form of the creature outside the mirror, making the creature outside the mirror think that he is Real mirror reflection.

The man in the mirror has strong malice and never wants to harm intruders who enter the endless corridor!

After Russell exited the room, the person in the mirror was so confused that he could only let his figure disappear in the mirror, trying to see what Russell wanted to do.

The man in the mirror knew that the intruder must obey the order to move forward, otherwise he would suffocate and die soon.

After another seven or eight seconds, the wooden door was pushed open again, and Russell walked in again.

You are indeed back again!

Before the person in the mirror could be happy, Russell, who had just entered the door, gently touched his face with his left hand.

brush!

Russell's appearance and clothes were changed by the illusion at the same time, turning into the maid she just looked like.

The dozens or hundreds of Russells in the mirror were obviously stunned for a moment, slightly caught off guard. It took 0.1 seconds for them to change, turning into dozens or hundreds of maids who were fat, thin, tall or short.

This is the self-cultivation of playing the role of reflection in the mirror!

The person in the mirror reacted quickly and repeated his signature line:

"Play guessing games with me.

"If you beat me in the guessing game, I will tell you how to leave the endless corridor."

One after another, the maid figures in the mirror also made fists with their right hands and raised their hands above their heads, pretending to be like Russell guessing.

The man in the mirror understood that as long as the boy lost to him in the guessing game, he could be trapped in the mirror forever and let him experience the same pain as himself forever!

And with the blessing of the power of this endless corridor, my guessing game winning rate exceeds 90%!

Russell nodded slightly and raised his right fist like countless other selves in the mirror.

In order to know the way out of the endless corridor, this stupid prey accepted the challenge of the man in the mirror!

The person in the mirror felt happy, suppressed the smile on his face, and said softly in a maid's voice:

"Rock, scissors..."

Before the man in the mirror finished speaking, Russell, who had just changed his appearance, wiped his face again with his left hand.

brush.

The illusion changed Russell's appearance again.

In order to play the role of the reflection in the mirror, the man in the mirror, who was well prepared, changed his appearance again at the moment Russell changed his appearance to be consistent with Russell outside the mirror.

brush. Russell has changed again.

The person in the mirror also hurriedly followed.

In this way, before the official game of rock, paper, scissors, Russell changed into various forms over and over again.

Super Saiyan Son Goku, Gray Witch Irena, Blade Fang, Doraemon...

Every time, the person in the mirror immediately changes into the corresponding appearance.

"This human being is really damned. It makes me exhausted from changing all over the place!" The man in the mirror cursed secretly in his heart, but the guessing fists of both parties finally came down, and he and Russell completed the guessing match as they wished.

The person in the mirror looks out of the mirror.

Russell ended the illusion the moment he completed the guessing game.

Nowadays, what young people produce is cloth.

The man in the mirror looked at his hands again.

He was just transforming into Doraemon, so what came out was a stone.

"It's broken. I was deceived by humans and turned into a creature with round hands." The man in the mirror was extremely regretful.

Outside the mirror, Russell was smiling sinisterly at the person in the mirror.

In fact, Doraemon probably has fingers.

But Russell would definitely not turn out his fingers when performing illusions, forcing the person in the mirror to produce rocks!

Now you must tell me the way to leave the endless corridor... Russell whispered in his heart.

[Rule 4: The person in the mirror is honest. 】

However, in order not to violate the rules and talk to the person in the mirror, Russell did not ask the question directly orally. Instead, he edited the question on his mobile phone and showed it to the person in the mirror:

"Tell me how to crack this endless corridor."

Russell in the mirror couldn't break the rules and kept his promise, so he could only say:

"I don't know if you have tried attacking the walls on both sides or using wall penetration. These methods can't make you leave this space.

"There is only one way to truly leave the endless corridor - there is a guardian in this endless corridor. By knocking it out, killing it, or getting its permission, you can open the space tunnel.

"As far as I know, the space tunnel will lead to a deeper space - I don't know where, maybe it is where the creator of this corridor lives."

Deeper space? Could that be the Joker's real secret room? And this corridor of rules and strange stories is just a protective method to protect the real secret room?

Russell suddenly had a guess, edited the question on his phone again, and showed it to the person in the mirror:

"Who is the caretaker of the Endless Corridor and what does he look like?"

"I don't know either. Maybe the monster and the wax figure know, but they are not like me and have to tell the truth." The man in the mirror answered truthfully.

During the question and answer process, Russell still kept walking forward, but each step was very small. He was typing on his mobile phone and asked a new question:

"Why are you trying to play guessing games with me or induce me to talk to you?"

Dozens or hundreds of Russells in the mirror had anger on their faces at the same time:

"As long as you lose to me in guessing, or talk to me, you will be trapped in the mirror like me. Damn it, you set me up!"

Russell nodded slightly, and his whole body suddenly became transparent and shattered with a thud.

At this time, the real Russell pushed open the wooden door and walked into the mirror room.

The person in the mirror is no longer pretending, and his eyes almost fall out of their sockets.

It turns out that the person who guessed the game with the man in the mirror just now was just a soul split from the wind chime. Even if he really lost the guessing game, nothing would happen.

Although it is said that dead people do not have to follow the rules, the split soul is under the control of Russell after all. To be on the safe side, he still did not speak directly to the person in the mirror.

Under the glare of countless mirror reflections, the real Russell strutted through the mirror room and pushed out the door.

Before leaving the mirror room, he relied on the amazing arm strength of a third-year strongman to forcefully break off a mirror on the wall and take it out of the room.

Russell walked through the familiar corridor, passed through the room where talking was forbidden, and once again entered the room where the baby was crying.

Just like last time, as I approached the baby's room, I heard the sound of a monster grinding its teeth and roaring.

But after actually pushing the door open, there was only the sound of a baby crying in the room.

"Poor child, I have walked through the corridor now and know the way to leave. I will take you out!"

Seeing the swaddled baby on the ground, Russell's usually indifferent face showed some warmth.

Russell clapped his hands gently, and a dozen skeletons emerged from the black mist.

Common skeletons are the easiest undead creatures to summon. This was the first spell Russell mastered when he practiced black magic some time ago.

One of the skeletons picked up the baby, took out a bottle from Russell's dimensional pocket, and fed the baby milk.

Skeleton hands gently caressed the swaddle, soothing the crying baby.

The baby who was picked up cried less loudly, feeling secretly happy in his heart.

In fact, he's not a baby at all, but a monster!

But as long as someone approaches, he can disguise himself as a baby and deceive outsiders.

As supernatural creatures created by the power of rules, monsters always want to devour foreign invaders and feast on the flesh and blood of the invaders!

The monster in the skeleton's arms was sucking the bottle and crying intermittently, while squinting and looking at Russell in front of him.

In the endless corridor, the enemies behind you are in danger, because those in front dare not look back!

Suddenly, the baby felt something was wrong.

The distance between him and Russell is getting farther and farther.

It turned out that the skeletons summoned by Russell did not follow their master, but walked in the opposite direction to Russell.

"What is this human being doing? Why does the summoned skeleton not follow him, but walk backwards?"

The monster disguised as a baby cursed in his mind and gave up the action for the time being, waiting for Russell to circle around the corridor and meet him again.

The baby held in the arms of the skeleton took another sip of the bottle and began to cry loudly.

But what Russell, who was farther away, heard was not the baby's cry, but the monster's roar and teeth grinding!

Russell shrugged:

"It's not good to make loud noises."

Soon, the skeletons walked into the room holding the baby.

Forbidden room!

[Rule 9: Monsters make loud noises. Monsters don't have to breathe. The monster wants to eat you. 】

…

Meanwhile, in the real world, the academy's higher campus.

Nearly 30 college teachers floated in the night sky, surrounding the clown's villa, with solemn expressions, and the evening breeze played with their clothes.

Surrounded by all the teachers and stars, there was an old man in the middle. He wears a classical purple mage robe covered with star patterns and a traditional wizard hat. He has gray hair but is full of energy.

The moment the maids and gardeners in the Clown Courtyard saw the leading old mage, they immediately recognized the face that had appeared too many times on the official website of the academy, and exclaimed at the same time:

"Mr. Principal!"

The principal, who temporarily put aside his identity as the principal and returned to the appearance of an old man, slowly fell from the sky and fell into the clown's garden.

His voice was like a bell, echoing endlessly in the dark night:

"We have received news that a clown from the Transfiguration and Transformation Department, a fourth-year student in the College of Higher Education, is suspected of stealing the college's senior knowledge scroll!

“This is an extremely serious violation!

"Now, in the name of the principal of the International Academy of Unified Magic and Supernatural, I will join forces with many teachers to conduct a thorough search of this villa!"
