"Professor, how did you know the identity of the person behind the scenes?" Russell was slightly stunned.

He thought there was only a little clue at most!

I didn't expect this professor of the Department of Mind and Illusion to be so powerful, and directly through the modified memory, he locked the mastermind behind the scenes, and he deserved to be a fourth-year power.

"Just look at this."

Professor Opal didn't answer directly, but took out his phone, opened a file, and pointed to the long string of codes on it:

"What programming language is this? C or Java? Russell asked.

"It's the memory and thinking codes of the Bird's Beak Doctor, and I copied them." Opal replied.

"It turns out that mind reading and analyzing memory, are these things read?" Wind Chimes looked at the long list of complex code, and his head was so big that he felt like his head was going to explode, "It looks like it's so hard to read minds." ”

Russell looked at the thinking programming language that he had never been exposed to, and it was like reading a book from heaven.

The mastermind behind the compilation of human memory is really a master, and he can actually compile and operate on such a mountain of code without BUGS!

"I'm sorry, Professor Opal, but I'm not from the Department of Mind and Illusion, so I can't read the code. Or just tell me which line of code you used to figure out who was behind it. Russell asked directly.

"This line, you can just look at it." Professor Opal gestured at the screen of his phone.

Russell was about to say that he couldn't read it, and then he noticed that the line of code that Professor Opal pointed to was followed by a text note that did not affect the operation of the program:

"// It was my thorn bird that altered the memory of the Birdbill Doctor, causing the plague outbreak in the Academy. If you want to catch me, come and catch me. ”

"I deduced the identity of the person behind the scenes from this clue." Professor Opal explained his way of unearthing the real culprit.

Was it that simple?

The man behind the scenes left his name directly!

"Of course, it cannot be ruled out that someone else has framed it." Professor Opal added.

Russell was puzzled:

"The Thorn Bird, such a fifth-grade legendary-level existence, why would he do this?"

Russell had heard Subway say before that there were only three people in this world who had reached the fifth-grade level of legendary-level powers. These three great beings have all erased their real names with supreme power, leaving only their code names.

They are-

The "Mr. President" of the International Academy of Legalism and the Supernatural - the world's number one prophet, the master of numerology in charge of fortune, and the weaver of fate who follows the law.

is currently known as Duncan, pretending to be a pig and a tiger in the academy. Not long ago, I was deducted for sleeping in class.

A genius girl wizard who graduated from the academy more than ten years ago, a fifth-year student in the Department of Mind and Illusion - Thorn Bird. Despite being a student of the Department of Mind and Illusion, he also showed amazing alchemy skills in the academy. Her origin is mysterious, her family background is unknown, and after graduation, she no longer has contact with the academy and is missing.

Supreme Council of the World Occult Council - No. "001".

Although he is not a graduate of the academy, he is presumed to be a supreme being in the fifth grade, who is good at protecting, shielding, and prohibiting, and once used a prohibition to envelop the entire country, so that the transcendents under a certain strength in the country cannot use the transcendent abilities.

Of course, Russell suspects that the Demon King, who is currently sleeping in his heart, is also a legendary existence of the same level.

"If it's not a false accusation, there must be a reason why you just left your name in your memory." Russell said.

"It can also be a trap." Professor Opal said

"Trap?" Russell was increasingly puzzled.

"The legendary fifth-grader left very little information on his time at the academy. There's a legend about her, Russell, you've probably heard of it, and you repeat her name three times in your heart or mouth......," Professor Opal said slowly

"Thorn Bird, Thorn Bird ......" Wind Chime tried to repeat, vaguely feeling that his memories of life had been awakened a little.

"It could be perceived by her." Professor Opal finished the second half of the sentence.

The wind chimes almost cried in fright, so they quickly covered their mouths:

"Professor, don't gasp for breath!"

Silently chanting three thorn birds, the senior sister cast her eyes from the sky.

This legend is widely circulated in the academy, and Russell knows about it, but there is no evidence to prove the truth of the legend.

"I've heard this rumor that many students who are bored will just pronounce her name a few times when they have nothing to do, and they will make harassing phone calls." Russell said, "I suspect that even if this legend were to be true, the Thorn Bird Senpai would have to set up some kind of shielding mechanism. ”

Opal laughed:

"It's just a legend. But to be on the safe side, it's best to pause for a few seconds before you continue thinking or talking about the name every time you think about it in your mind, or after you mention it in your mouth. When the name is mentioned twice, insert something else halfway through.

"The Thorn Bird has been graduating for many years, and has never been in contact with the academy, and with today's events, it is not yet known whether it is friend or foe."

The wind chimes on the side listened to it, the spirit body trembled slightly, and the expression became more and more wrong, and horror and fear appeared on the face of this female ghost:

"No, wait, this name ......"

In order not to be perceived, the wind chimes had to struggle to restrain themselves from thinking about the name of the thorn bird continuously.

"What's the matter, Wind Chimes? Do you recall something? Russell noticed something strange about the wind chimes.

"Before I was born, my death ......" Ignoring the bewildered gaze of Professor Opal on the side, the wind chimes trembled violently:

"I may have been killed by the Thorn Bird! Just a dozen years ago, when she was still in the academy! ”

Wind chimes were killed by thorn birds? Her death directly involved a fifth-grade legendary?

Russell was very stunned and hurriedly asked:

"Are you sure? Have more details? ”

A suspicion immediately popped up in his mind:

If it was really the hand of the legendary being, why could the wind chimes still retain the ghost and not scatter the soul on the spot?

"I don't know, I don't know! I was terrified just thinking of the name and remembering her face. ”

The wind chime hugged his head wrapped in pure white hair, and his eyes were already shining. Indescribable fear, like an electric current running through the spinal cord of a spirit.

Russell gently patted the back of the wind chime with his right hand glowing with a dark blue glow, and used spiritism to calm the emotions of the contract spirits:

"Don't worry, don't be afraid.

"She's not here now, and it doesn't matter if we don't say her name three times in a row.

"We are in the academy and it is safe here. Professor Opal is still here, and he'll protect us! ”

As he spoke, Russell looked at Professor Opal next to him:

"If the legend is indeed true, after seeing the name, the average person will indeed be tempted to repeat the name in their hearts.

"If the time between the two mentions of this name is too short, it is indeed possible that the effect was accidentally triggered and perceived by the real culprit behind the scenes.

"But you're an experienced professor and won't fall into this trap."

Professor Opal bowed his head slightly:

But the real pitfalls can be something else, not necessarily related to the unsubstantiated rumor.

"For example, maybe when digging into the memory of the Bird's Beak Doctor, you will encounter the name of the Thorn Bird, even if the ban is triggered. Let the person who unearths the memories of Dr. Birdbeak be planted with psychic suggestion and perceived by her.

"It's really possible in the realm of mind and illusion."

It's a really weird ability, even if you dig into memories, you can touch a hidden trap!

Russell sighed in his heart, but at the same time wondered:

"Professor, how did you avoid this risk?"

The wind chimes finally broke away from their fear, breathed a long sigh of relief, and slowly looked up at Opal's handsome young face.

Professor Opal's chin lifted slightly, thoughtful:

"yes, how did I avoid this risk?"

He looked at the stars in the sky and muttered:

"When I dug into the memories of Dr. Birdbeak and saw the name of the Thorn Bird, how did I make sure that I was not planted with a psychic suggestion and not perceived by her......

"How did I do it......"

The young and handsome professor's eyes became more and more hollow, and the murmur in his mouth became smaller and smaller.

Not good!

Russell's hairs stand on end.

Goosebumps scrambled out, his back tingled, and a cold chill rushed up his spinal cord.

The extrasensory perception that has reached the third grade level is frantically warning Russell of the next danger!

Although the wind chimes on the side realized it later, when they saw Russell, a cold-faced young man who had never been smiling, they all showed an irrepressible frightened expression, and they immediately realized the problem:

"No, it won't! Don't scare us, Professor Opal! You must be joking with us, right?

"Russell, you said that Professor Opal likes to joke, right, he also uses metaphysical gacha as a final exam hahahaha......"

Wind Chimes couldn't contain their fear and began to babble gibberish.

Seeing Professor Opal, whose eyes had become completely hollow, Russell shouted repeatedly:

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!

"This is the academy, no one dares to do anything to us!"

He shouted this to attract others in the academy.

The second is to warn the murderer who may be the murderer of the wind chimes, the culprit who caused the occult disease, and the black-handed thorn bird who controls all this behind the scenes, this is the academy, not a place where she can act recklessly.

Since last year's Chaos Red Cultist's cultist invasion, the Academy has strengthened its internal barriers, which can be used to monitor anomalies and bless its own side and suppress invaders in battle.

What's more, Mr. Principal and many teachers are in the academy!

Professor Opal, whose eyes were empty, showed a terrifying smile, and a woman's voice actually came out of his mouth:

"Brother Russell, what are you talking about? How can this be in the academy?

"Are you mistaken, didn't you walk out of the back door of the academy a long time ago and go all the way deep into the dense forest outside the school?

"Didn't we just talk in the depths of the jungle?

"Look at the way you came, didn't you meet a classmate or teacher in the last part of the road?"
