Twelve eyes were fixed on him, and he felt like he was going to suffocate from the condensed air.

Fear, he didn't expect that they didn't go anywhere, they just stared at him in the crack of the door, without even blinking!

He heard the door slowly opening and closing, and he heard the sound of six people walking in one after another rubbing their shoes, and they were walking towards him!

He felt like he had to do something, but he had to sit on the bed and meet it all. Six people were around him, they were looking down at him sitting on the bed, and they were laughing.

Laughter without a sound. Edwin's whole body trembled with nervousness, and their expressions looked like he was going to be the food to be munched on the table.

But then all six of them turned around and began to repeat everything mechanically. Edwin collapsed on the bed, feeling like his strength had been drained.

Why is this happening? They were like manipulated puppets, so that Edwin didn't feel the slightest anger in them.

"Edwin, it's time to eat. They were beckoning him, and Edwin stepped out of the empty room to see all five people at the table waiting for him.

He pretended that nothing had happened just now, and sat in his place, and everyone at the table was talking and laughing as before, as if nothing had really happened just now.

He felt like he was going to do something, but not now. It was night, the red moon was hanging high, and he secretly got up from the bed and tiptoed to the door by the moonlight.

I must go out once, even if I lose my life, I will be resurrected, I want to know the truth.

He walked up to the door, but he didn't have the courage to open it, and he suddenly felt like he was on his back.

"Edwin, what are you doing so late?"

He looked back and saw the faces of the six titular companions glowing bloodied by the moonlight, all standing in front of him and staring at him mechanically.

"I'm going out! why won't you let me out!" Edwin screamed.

"You're crazy, you don't know how dangerous it is out there, you don't want to experience the pain of death. Come on, go back with us. Without Edwin's excuse, they forced Edwin back into the house.

At this time, a figure appeared in the mirror of Wesley, the magic mirror of the Wizard Academy,

"Morton should have killed you at the time of Edoremana. He licked his lips, the bloodthirsty desire in his eyes undisguised.

"All tormented souls will be for my enjoyment, including you, son of the devil. Hahahaha. He stepped out of the magic mirror in style.

"Dean Abel!"

"What's the matter, don't worry. Abel looked up at the mentor who hurriedly walked in.

Wesley seemed to ...... Out of control. ”

"Out of control?" Abel put down the quill in his hand, looking interested.

"Originally, our intention was for Wesley to create a mystery-type environment where two mages would decide the winner. By now, the events in the Magic Mirror are developing in an unpredictable direction. ”

"You show me. "Today's assessment instructors and he did not watch through the magic mirror, several dukes came together, and they wanted to receive it.

In the illusion of the Magic Mirror, Edwin is lying in bed with a certain collapse, Chanes is chased by monsters in a corridor that never ends, and the other magicians are also trapped in a tormented fantasy.

"What can we do now?" Abel asked.

"We can't interfere with the development of the scene events in the magic mirror now, and if they are really tortured and give up, their spirits will break, and they will fall into the illusion forever......" the mentor said with a trilling voice at the end.

"My question is what can we do. ”

"We can only open the passage between the illusions. ”

"In other words, if one magician manages to escape the illusion, he will make peace with the second magician, right? ”

The mentor nodded,

"However, the illusion is a forbidden ......"

......

Abel was silent, and the mentor hurriedly said,

"But certain conditions can be broken. ”

"Okay, let's go open the passage first, and those dukes can deal with it casually. ”

"I'll go. The mentor bowed to Abel and withdrew.

"Eventful. ”

Chanes fled in a corridor flanked by purple flames, and behind him were a large number of antoid monsters with steel mouthparts.

"I'm afraid it's a labyrinth......" he gasped, finally finding a hidden corner where he could hide for a while.

"There are no other magicians, how can this be? I want to get out alive! There must be a way to get out!" In the dark, he really didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere now, for fear of attracting monsters.

"Fortunately, there are mushrooms on the ground, so you won't starve to death. Oh no! He picked up a mushroom and slipped away.

Edwin was really desperate, a door that could never get out. He began to think about who the hell was the hurried knock today? It couldn't be theirs, they didn't need to knock.

Or was it a hint? I had changed the rules on the fly, and I was going to get out anyway! For a long time after that, he tried to fit in with the environment so that the six of them no longer had to look at him with the eyes of fools.

"The former Edwin is finally back. ”

"He's finally grown up. ”

Edwin didn't feel anything when he listened, for whenever they went out together during the day, Edwin stayed in the hut, and he pretended to glance casually at the crack in the door, and he would surely see those creepy eyes peeking at him.

He began to wonder where the meat on the table came from, and where they watched him every day.

There was always only meat on the table, and the blood-red flesh was mixed with inches of white bones. They will eat nothing left over and never waste it.

He's finally a good boy in their eyes.

He can't use magic now, he can only wait for an opportunity, and after waiting for so long, it's not too late.

Over the course of time, Edwin discovered that every time they were reborn, at least one of them would still be alive, though that didn't mean anything.

He doesn't grow old, the concept of time is blurred, and he doesn't calculate, just watch the blood moon rise and fall and repeat life.

He waited.

He found that one day there were no eyes in the crack of the door, none of them appeared, he used the tools he had prepared long ago to pick the chains, and when he opened the door, he finally knew where the meat he usually ate came from.

He saw a picture he would never forget. Six people were outside the door, pieces of flesh connected to the bones, which were skillfully removed, and the white bones of Sensen were like a hill outside the hut.

Everyone felt no pain until the last person straightened up everyone's shaved and wriggling flesh. Edwin was a little nauseous.

The last man was smiling at him, showing a row of white teeth,

"Is this meat delicious?" said to the last man.

Edwin was stunned, and the reborn man slowly walked out of the Black Forest,

"Is our meat delicious?" they all bared their white teeth.

This is a lie, there is no hunting in the Black Forest, they climb up from the abyss at the end of the Black Forest, and they are happy to taste their own flesh and blood as humans.

"We weren't human beings in the first place, and after we walked that road, we naturally became what you call 'people' when we arrived here. ”

Edwin clutched his head, keeping himself from thinking about it.

"If we were human, then you who had eaten human flesh would still not be human. ”

"I'm not human, I'm human, I'm not human......" Edwin repeated, covering his head.

"We allowed you to come out because we knew we couldn't limit you, but what if you knew the truth of the matter?"

"It was so delicious to continue sharing our meat so happily that I couldn't help but lick the plate clean every time. ”

Edwin rushed out desperately, he didn't want to and didn't dare to turn back. The Black Forest is constantly filled with unknown shrill cries, damp muddy earth, and an eerie atmosphere.

"It's fake, it's fake, it's all fake!" he muttered, and he ran with his head down with all his might.

He felt like he had run far away, and when he looked up, he saw the nightmarish wooden house in front of him, and they were beckoning to him,

"Come back, useless, join us, you have no other choice. They shouted.

Abel looked at Edwin who collapsed in the illusion, his beard trembled,

"No one can help you but yourself. When you overcome yourself, you can help others. ”

"I hope he told you that all cages are false. ”

"I'd rather die than be here. He roared with tears in his eyes and ran desperately through the Black Forest.

He's going to the abyss! He's going to the abyss!

There is no sun, no food, no water, nothing in the forest. He ran unconsciously, from running to walking, to crawling on the ground and reaching forward with his hands stretched out.

"I'm still ...... Didn't lose, must ...... Get out!" his throat was hoarse and speechless.

"I ...... Can't be trapped in ...... Over here. ”

He suddenly remembered a remark that Rudolph had once said to him, and he said that it was what his teacher had told him,

"All kinds of ...... Cages, all ...... Vanity!" He seemed to see the abyss, and he reached the edge of the abyss with force, and he also saw the dense monsters, looking at him greedily and weakly.

With the last of his strength, he leaped forward.

All kinds of cages are vain. It also has the next sentence, walk from the heart, and be liberated.

He felt that the magical energy in his body was now surging more than ever, and he also saw an unstable bridge in front of him.

"Do you want me to go up?" walked on the bridge and looked back at this place for the last time,

"It's actually me who traps me. "I left this nightmare without looking back.

Chanes was still in hiding, and the other magicians weren't much better. When they are exhausted and completely desperate, it is time for Borui to harvest his soul.

"Edwin, well done. Abel breathed a sigh of relief.
