The puppet's fingers were like sharp daggers, and the hot pain made Tang Yao's whole body almost spasm, but at this time, he couldn't control his body, and he could feel that the puppet's fingers that pierced into his back muscles were exerting force little by little, and the stabbing was getting deeper and deeper.

He tried to struggle, but the puppet was far more powerful than he had imagined, like a shackle on his body, no matter how hard he twisted his body to try to get out, but the puppet did not move.

The sharp pain began to make Tang Yao lose his mind, roaring like a trapped beast, seeing that the puppet's fingers had pierced into Tang Yao's body nearly an inch, at this moment there was a loud "clang" behind Tang Yao, and then the door of the piano room was knocked open from the outside, and a figure quickly rushed to Tang Yao's side, in the shaking red light, Tang Yao didn't see who the person who appeared next to him was, he saw a big axe slashed at the puppet's head, the first blow did not cut off the puppet's head, and then the big axe hit the puppet's head several times in a row, the puppet's head rolled down.

As the head hit the ground, the puppet's body also loosened, and the control over Tang Yao was also relaxed, Tang Yao looked up, and then realized that the person who saved him was actually Fang Chao.

Fang Chao was holding a fire axe in his hand, and the whole person was out of breath, and while helping Tang Yao remove the puppet, he said: "This is a puppet controlled by the illusionist, are you okay?" ”

Tang Yao endured the pain and didn't say a word, and after waiting for the puppet's fingers to pull out of his back, he gasped, and then said slowly: "Do you see that I have a wound on my back, and how do you know that I am here?" ”

"Don't worry, the injury is not serious, fortunately I arrived in time or you are only afraid that the injury is not light, I just walked in front, and the mirror in front of me flashed by and knew that I had been tricked, and when I turned around, you were gone, fortunately, I still have some means, after breaking two simple illusions, I came here, and I heard movement in this room, so I found a fire axe in a hurry and broke into the door, didn't this just save you?" Fang Chao explained.

Tang Yao nodded, took off his clothes and looked, sure enough, there were a few holes in his clothes, but the blood stains were not thick, and the back was just like a scratch, the sharp stinging pain just now was probably magnified several times in his brain because of the illusion here, and the wound on the actual body should not be so serious, put on his clothes again, squatted down and just wanted to carefully inspect this strange puppet, but Fang Chao on the side urged: "Let's go, this place is not suitable for a long time, you are trapped in illusion, and it will be very dangerous to stay in one place for too long." ”

The two quickly left the piano room, the corridor of the teaching building was dark, Tang Yao followed Fang Chao and kept running forward, but he couldn't run to the end after running for five or six minutes, Tang Yao stopped and said: "What's the matter, this corridor is a few tens of meters at most, why can't you run for so long?" ”

Fang Chao looked around, and suddenly raised the fire axe in his hand and slammed it against a window in the corridor, Tang Yao saw with his own eyes that the fire axe in Fang Chao's hand smashed on the glass, but instead of breaking, the glass spread like a mist, and the axe did not hear any sound of breaking through the glass.

"This glass is fake, it's a typical illusion in the mirror." Fang Chao frowned and said, it seemed to be a troublesome feeling.

"What is a mirror illusion?" Tang Yao asked strangely.

"Illusion in the mirror is a general term for illusion, using a mirror to make people into illusion, and the person who enters the illusion will be in an enclosed space, the road is endless, and the glass will turn into mist, which also explains why we can't break out of this corridor after running for so long."

"How do you break the illusion?" Tang Yao followed and asked.

Fang Chao scratched his head and paused for a moment before saying, "I don't know, the illusion in the mirror here is much more powerful than the two small illusions I encountered before, and I don't know how to crack it at all." ”

These two people, one is a third-rate character from the outer door of the Mo family, and the other is simply an ordinary person, and I am afraid that they will never be able to get out of this illusion.

Unable to break the illusion, unable to find clues, the two of them tossed for nearly an hour and failed to find a way out, plus they had a conflict with Zhou Shang and the three of them before, and the tired two simply sat on the ground against the wall and rested temporarily.

Fang Chao sighed and asked: "Brother, I'm afraid that we won't be able to get out even if we toss all night, so let's just forget it, and when the interview time passes tomorrow, someone will naturally come and let us out." ”

Tang Yao was still a little unwilling, but even Fang Chao, who was a person in the circle, said so, he could only shake his head and ask: "I see that you don't look like a poor person when you dress up, everyone has a family recommendation, but you also seem to be a lonely person, could it be that your Fang family didn't help you?" ”

Fang Chao smiled and said: "Our Fang family is just an inconspicuous small clan in the Nine Streams and Ten Families, in the circle of illusionists, it is like a small school of fish in the sea, and I am also the most inconspicuous one in this small group of fish, where can I get the help of the family, and even I secretly signed up for the interview in the Hall of Dead Bones." ”

"It's just an interview, why do you have to sign up secretly?"

"Because I want to prove myself too." Fang Chao's voice suddenly became much lower, "My father is a very inconspicuous little person in the family company, since I can remember, my father has been serving tea and water to the big people in the family, and sometimes he will even be reprimanded and abused for no reason, they say that my father and I are not worthy of the blood of the Fang family, and also said that in the future, after my father retires, I will take his place and continue to serve the so-called big people in the family, hehe, why?" I was born into an equal world, and I should fight for equal opportunities for myself, so I came to the Hall of Bones interview to prove to the people in my family that I wasn't born a waste. ”

The more Fang Chao spoke, the more excited he became, and in the end, his face was even red, and his hand holding the fire axe was trembling slightly.

"Whew...... What about you, the poison of the insects is only afraid that there is no solution in the world, you are an ordinary person to come for an interview, can Ao Tianchong promise to help you detoxify? Fang Chao let out a sigh of relief, calming himself down and asked.

Tang Yao said truthfully: "He can't cure the poison of the insects, but he can relieve the poison for me, if I pass the interview, I can get the first piece of medicinal materials, and today is exactly ten days after I was poisoned by the insects, that is, the day of the first poison." ”

"Hehe, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed, but you're a little more miserable." Fang Chao said with a smile.

The so-called true friends are bound to endure hardships and hardships together, Tang Yao has never made a sincere friend in the past 19 years, and today he has the first buddy in his life.

Standing up against the wall, Tang Yao thought for a while and said: "No matter what, let's give it a try, if this is an illusion, then there must be a way to break the illusion, even if we don't know, but we can break through, even if we fail, it's better than sitting here and waiting for death, I see that there are many offices in this corridor, let's explore one by one and maybe find a way out." ”

Fang Chao opened his mouth, perhaps wanting Tang Yao to save his energy, but when the words came to his mouth, he saw the strong unwillingness in Tang Yao's eyes, and seemed to be infected a little, so he swallowed back what he wanted to say and nodded instead: "Okay, let's explore one by one, and if we find something, shout loudly." ”

After the agreement, the two immediately went their separate ways, Tang Yao walked to the other end of the corridor, the strange thing was that all the doors were locked, he tried on a few of the doors, and found that they couldn't be opened at all, and in his opinion, if this corridor was endless, it meant that these doors should also be false illusions created by illusion, so it was impossible to open them at all.

But after he and Fang Chao explored separately for about ten minutes, they made an astonishing discovery.

At the other end of the corridor, where the figure of Fang Chao was no longer visible, Tang Yao found an unlocked door, and the only one that seemed to be open.

He opened his mouth and shouted, "Fang Chao, there seems to be a door here that can be opened. ”

The figure echoed in the corridor but Fang Chao did not respond, Tang Yao hesitated to walk over to find Fang Chao, but at this moment, the doorknob in front of him suddenly made a "click" sound, and it seemed that someone was unscrewing it from the side of the door.

He immediately took a few steps back, and immediately thought of the strange puppet that had attacked him earlier, and said secretly in his heart: Could it be that he was so unlucky to encounter a monster again?

The doorknob was completely unscrewed, there was a "click" on the door, and then it was pulled apart little by little, Tang Yao only felt that his throat was tight, his whole body was stiff, and he instinctively wanted to escape, but he was curious about what was behind the door.

Although there is a great danger, this may be his chance to break out of the illusion.

As he thought so, the door was fully opened, and the moonlight outside the window shone in just then, casting a bright light on the dark hallway.

And in this moonlight, what appeared in front of Tang Yao turned out to be a beautiful girl.
