Magic!

Inside the High School.

In the garden of the Joker's mansion, next to delicately cut green plants.

The principal with white hair like frost looked at the document paper in Green Beard's hand and felt the majestic aura suddenly spurting out and then slowly dissipating, with an unmoved expression on his face:

"What a powerful aura, as if facing the order of the universe itself. This is indeed a document signed by 001 himself.

"But it's still night, so there's no need to make such a big noise."

Like Duncan and Thorn Bird, the unnamed chief of the Supreme Council——001 is also a legend of fifth-year strength!

He is also the only one among the legendary supernatural beings of this era who did not graduate from the International Academy of Unified Magic and Supernatural.

Most people even believe that 001 is the world's number one supernatural being, the true pinnacle of the entire supernatural world!

The principal's tone was cold, and his tone revealed the majesty that made people surrender:

"I'm too lazy to read the document. Just tell me the specific content briefly. What happened? 001 wants to summon me urgently."

He chose just when he was about to search the clown's villa, it must have been intentional!

…

Endless corridor space.

The crying woman I saw before came from behind:

"Intruder, you have turned this endless corridor upside down."

Hearing the voice of the woman behind him, Russell did not turn his head. He kept walking forward and said with a smile:

"Are you the guardian? You're not the mother of the man-eating monster, right?"

"Yes, yes. I agree to let you go." The woman covered her face in despair, looking quite embarrassed, "You destroyed all the weird atmosphere in the entire corridor!"

After saying that, the woman showed her true colors, her skin became pale and bloodless, like a corpse that had been dead for a long time.

"Sure enough, he is an undead, no wonder he doesn't have to follow the rules." Feng Ling complained at the side.

Russell's original plan was to let the wax figure talk to the man in the mirror, trap the wax figure in the mirror, and use the rule "the man in the mirror is honest" to force the guardian to where he is.

It saves trouble now.

The woman walked up to Russell and clapped her hands. Two space tunnels formed by rotating blue light groups emerged in the corridor in front of Russell.

"This blue tunnel leads to a deeper space beyond the endless corridor—a secret space that even I have never been to."

In other words, the blue tunnel should lead to the clown's secret room... Russell nodded slightly, continued to walk forward in small steps, and asked again:

"How long have you been living with this corridor of weird rules?"

The woman sighed:

"It's been more than ten years, maybe longer. I can't remember the details. We are all creatures born from the power of the rules of this space. We cannot leave here. Our only purpose is to stop the intruders."

Over ten years? Such a long time?

The woman's answer surprised Russell.

Russell is convinced that the clown only entered the High School 7 years ago!

Before going to the Joker's mansion to investigate, he deliberately checked the Joker's file information on the academy's official website, and he still remembered it.

In other words, this space already existed before the clown became a third-year student and entered the high school!

Russell, who kept moving forward with very small steps, put the wind chime into his mobile phone and asked again:

"Apart from intruders, are there usually people who have permission from this space and are not harmed by you?"

He was thinking of the Joker or an ally of the Joker.

"Some, some, and from time to time, people pass through this endless corridor. As long as I hold a specific token, I, the guardian, will open the door for them, leading to a deeper space that I don't even understand, without attacking. They. These people are coming and going, there are hundreds of familiar faces!" the woman said.

Hundreds of people?

The more Russell listened, the more strange this incident became.

"Are there other intruders before me?" Russell walked towards the blue space tunnel and asked the last question.

"There have been more than 10 intruders over the years. It's just that they either had their necks broken or were eaten by monsters. In short, they died in this endless corridor for various reasons." The woman sighed. He took a breath and said, "I didn't expect that I would fall into your hands today."

I'm afraid this endless corridor is unusual... Russell frowned slightly.

"Russell, Russell, that's wrong." The wind chime on the phone asked:

"How could there be more than a dozen people in the academy who pushed open the secret door in the clown's closet and died in this corridor? Shouldn't the academy not have noticed such a thing? And a fourth grader who can open the secret door There can’t be that many strong men.”

Russell shook his head:

"I'm afraid, the wardrobe in the Clown Villa of the High Court is not the only way to this endless corridor, but just one of the passages.

"In addition to the clown's villa, there are many space doors in this world that lead to here, as well as deeper spaces!"

Feng Chime suddenly realized and his eyes widened.

The clown may be hiding more secrets than she thinks.

Russell slowly walked towards the azure space tunnel and found that the Demon King in his heart did not indicate any direct danger, so he stepped into the blue vortex.

Feeling an earthshaking, Russell walked out of the space tunnel again, stood firm, and found that the space tunnel behind him had disappeared.

He carefully observed the surrounding environment and found that he seemed to be in a relatively closed building.

The location where he was standing was at the junction of corridors extending in all directions. The walls and ceiling were all silvery white with a sense of technology, and there were no windows in sight.

While Russell was alert to the surrounding environment, he slowly walked forward, pricking up his ears to listen to the surrounding situation.

What exactly is this place?

Suddenly, Russell heard footsteps coming from ahead.

Without hesitation, he lightly clicked on the photo album on his phone, activating the "invisibility" spell copied from Clara, and the figure quickly faded and disappeared as if erased by an eraser.

A few seconds later, four or five men and women in white lab coats were seen approaching, talking and laughing.

The invisible Russell quickly turned sideways, pressed against the wall, and allowed these people dressed as experimenters to pass in front of him.

The four or five staff members in white lab coats did not notice the invisible Russell. They just laughed and chatted among themselves and walked over.

"I didn't expect that Lord 004 actually succeeded this time." One of the men with gold-rimmed eyes said excitedly.

004?

Russell's heart suddenly contracted, frightening the demon king in his heart.

This is the numbering pattern used by the Supreme Council!

What is involved is the most powerful group of bureaucrats who stand on top of the World Supernatural Parliament and stand at the top of the entire supernatural world!

On the phone, Feng Chime and Sleep Demon heard the conversation outside, and they also covered their mouths, feeling uncontrollable astonishment in their hearts.

Where did they and Russell end up?

…

In the high school, in the courtyard of the Clown Villa.

Feeling the solemn gazes of twenty or thirty college teachers in the air and in all directions, Green Beard shrugged indifferently:

"We have evidence that the legendary ruler of the demons of the abyss, the extremely dangerous supernatural creature-the Demon King, is now in the academy!

"The Supreme Council has given us the authority to search the entire academy and take over control of the academy if necessary!"

The old principal wearing a mage's robe said coldly:

"Give me the reasons for your inference."

Now he is not Duncan, a student of the Department of Astrology and Numerology, but the principal respected by the entire academy, representing the entire International Unified Magic and Supernatural Academy! I don’t want to show weakness in front of a congressman!

“We conducted interrogations in the extraordinary realm on the Red Cultists of Chaos who were previously imprisoned in the prison of another dimension—including the leader of the entire Demonic Cult and the three Demonic Priests.

"According to the information they provided, the Demon King is hidden in the heart of a certain student in the college. That student is Russell, the third-year freshman in the Department of Necromancer and Life who has entered the college not long ago!"

ah?

The confession of the Red Order of Chaos, yes!

The old principal who was no longer "Duncan" was obviously stunned for a moment.

Previously, in order to avoid causing trouble to Russell, who saved him, Duncan deliberately used his ability to speak his mind after divination confirmed that the Demon King was "not very dangerous" and weaved a story between several senior officials of the Red Order of Chaos "because Mentally traumatized, he forgot the fact that the Demon King was in Russell's heart."

After that, Duncan devoted himself to his second grade studies and completely forgot about the matter, without further tracking or covering it up.

It's a pity that there must be powerful masters in the spiritual field on the World Supernatural Council, who have dug up this temporarily forgotten memory again.

"However, everyone knows that cultists are not mentally normal, and their minds are messy and full of fantasies and hallucinations. Can this be used as any important evidence?" the old principal argued.

Greenbeard chuckled:

"This is the purpose of our coming to the academy. Mr. Principal, don't you think that our group of elite investigators are temporarily living in the academy just to find the cultists of the old cult."

Under the astonished gazes of the college teachers, Green Beard showed several photos and documents one after another.

"This is the information our investigators found on the computer at the college hospital. It is the result of Russell's physical examination last year. The photo shows that there are traces of a sleeping demon in the right ventricle of Russell."

"This is the large crater and scorched earth left behind by the explosion in the dense forest area near the college two or three months ago. Our personnel conducted a series of investigations and took photos from all angles."

"According to the results of the occult appraisal of the Sixth Research Institute, this scorched earth and pits are likely to be the traces of destruction left by the explosion of the Abyss Fire when demons above the lord level awakened from their slumber."

"There are multiple pieces of evidence that indicate that the Demon King is not only within the academy, but may also have awakened!"

"The matter is so important that it is necessary to ask the principal to go to the parliament headquarters in person to explain the situation."

Listening to Greenbeard's analysis, some teachers who didn't know that the Demon King was sealed in Russell's heart were shocked to hear such breaking news.

Some of the teachers who already knew Russell's secret, including the principal and Professor Black Amber, looked increasingly solemn.

It turns out that the team of elite investigators led by Greenbeard came to the academy with a hidden purpose!

Green Beard obviously did not just receive this document from the Supreme Council tonight, but when the principal led a team to search the Clown Villa, he suddenly launched an attack.

…

Inside a closed mysterious building.

In the invisible state, Russell's thoughts were spinning:

Do you want to remove your invisibility, follow the four or five staff members who just walked past you, use the wind chime's ability to "make friends", blend in with them, and pry for information?

But after a brief consideration, Russell temporarily gave up on the idea.

This was not only because the one-time invisibility technique stored in the phone was wasted, but more importantly, he was obviously in an unusual place, and he could meet powerful extraordinary beings at any time and "make friends" who could see through the wind chimes.

After confirming that there was no mobile phone signal here and still unable to contact the principal, Russell, who remained invisible, crept forward while gently turning his wrist to perform the psychic technique.

One after another, ancient creature ghosts that could not be seen by normal spiritual vision were injected with spiritual energy by Russell, flying in all directions, passing through walls and ceilings from time to time, transmitting various visual images into Russell's mind.

Russell half-squinted his eyes and quickly analyzed one different picture after another with the ability of a mid-third-year psychic.

"here it is……"

Countless pictures simply constitute the interior of the entire building——

This is a 4-story very large building.

Each floor is extremely wide, and it takes a long time to walk from one side to the other.

One after another, researchers in white overalls and guards in red walked between the floors, gathered in the lobby, or communicated with each other in the office.

The various instruments with runes on them and the files stacked on the table illustrate the research purpose of this place.

Such a picture makes people involuntarily think of the research base of the villain boss in the movie.

Through some room signs and documents on the desktop, Russell immediately determined the name of this research base——

M3 Research Institute, affiliated with the World Paranormal Congress!

"Look where this building is now?"

Russell drove more ghosts to fly outside the building to get a full view of the building.

The young man's pupils suddenly widened a bit.

This is a black fortress floating thousands of meters in the air, with strong winds and stratus clouds passing by the side of the secret fortress!

When he first stepped into the mercury curtain, Russell thought that the clown had just set up a demi-dimensional space in his villa as his secret secret room. There would be no big danger in this mission - after all, the clown is not very Possibly killing another high school student.

But as expected, the unexpected happened.

"Russell, Russell, where is this place?" Inside the phone, the wind chime, which shared the scene Russell saw through the spirit contract, was shocked and confused.

Russell said sharply:

“This is a secret research base of the World Supernatural Council, and may even be directly affiliated with the Supreme Council!

"In the world, there should be multiple dimensional doors leading to this institute, but visitors must first go through the corridor of strange rules - this is a protective measure to prevent outsiders from setting foot here. Unauthorized and unsustained Outsiders with tokens will only die in the corridor!"

Russell compared all the paranormal research institutes he knew in his mind, but they were all much smaller in scale and could not match this secret fortress floating thousands of meters in the air.

This M3 Research Institute must be a secret location with a higher level of confidentiality!
