"What does that mean?" Wind chimes are puzzled.

"It means that the baby may be a monster, and according to the rules, that monster doesn't have to breathe." Russell said, "That's why, in the distance, we hear the roar of monsters and grinding teeth, and when we get closer, the sound becomes the cry of a baby. ”

The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, and I just felt that this endless corridor was full of traps, and if I wasn't careful, I would step on it.

"Then the woman said that part of the rules were fake, and she did break some of them......" Wind Chimes looked down in thought.

"Maybe it's just that woman who doesn't have to follow the rules. Don't forget, there's a category of people in this endless corridor who don't have to follow the rules. ”

Before the wind chimes recalled the rules, Russell said the answer lightly: "Dead man." ”

"Ah Russell, don't scare me, do you mean that the woman is dead? What the hell is this story? "Wind Chimes looked like they were about to cry.

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

"Oh, yes, I'm dead, too." Wind chimes just remembered.

It occurred to her again:

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

Russell nodded slightly, approving Wind Chime's analysis.

Again, as before, Russell walked down the corridor into his new room.

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

No, not people!

It's a lifelike wax figure.

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

Russell blinked, and a miserable green flame rose from his eyes.

But the wax figures, which looked like dead things, did not change in any way, and did not turn to stone.

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

As he reached the middle of the room, past several wax figures, Russell faintly heard what seemed to be hurried footsteps behind him.

Russell's mind immediately conjured up a scene like this -

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

Russell, who is familiar with the rules, of course, does not turn his head, but raises his phone and uses the selfie function and the front camera to look behind his back.

I saw the scene behind Russell reflected on the screen of the mobile phone.

The position of several wax figures has changed, and they have become running, as if they are running towards Russell.

The four hands of the two wax figures are about to touch the back of Russell's head, as if they are about to fall in the next second, grabbing Russell's neck or head.

However, the wax figures are still motionless, and if it weren't for Russell's determination that the wax figures were standing in two rows when he first walked into the room, he would probably not have found a problem.

"When I can't see, the wax figure moves?" Russell looked down and analyzed, "Your house is really interesting, clown." ”

Stepping out of the fourth room to the house, Russell walked through the corridor once more.

"Wind chimes, try to pass through the wall on the left and see what this long hallway looks like outside?"

Russell gave the wind chimes an order in his mind.

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

As a dead person, although she is already in the long endless corridor, she does not need to carry out the order to keep going!

The wind chimes passed through the wall on the left and drilled out of the wall on the right at the same time.

"Sure enough."

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

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

Pushed open the dark wooden door.

When the wooden door was opened, Russell's eyes were greeted by a mirrored house composed of dozens or hundreds of mirrors.

"It was back in room 1 and it turned out to be really a loop. The woman didn't lie to us on this issue. The wind chimes in the phone muttered to themselves.

"For a few friends in this endless corridor, since they have already been familiar with it just now." A smile appeared on Russell's lips:

"Then it's time for us to perform!"

Looking at Russell with dozens or hundreds of different postures up and down, left and right, Russell did not go straight forward, but walked backwards step by step, exited the room, and closed the door with his hand.

[Rule 2, don't look back, don't turn around, don't look back.] Otherwise, the neck will be twisted. 】

The rules only say that turning back and turning around will break your neck, but it doesn't say that you are not allowed to walk backwards!

Of course, while walking backwards, Russell was briefly in a state of suffocation because he did not continue to carry out the order to go forward, but there was no real danger.

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

Why did this man walk backwards out of the room?

What are you doing?

In fact, in the mirror room, there is only one "man in the mirror", and all the reflections of Russell in the mirror are his incarnation.

As a supernatural creature created by the power of rules in this endless corridor, the person in the mirror does not have a fixed body, 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 the real reflection in the mirror.

The man in the mirror has a strong malice and does not want to trap the intruders who enter the endless corridor all the time!

After Russell exited the door, the extremely dazed person in the mirror could only let his figure disappear in the mirror, wanting to see what Russell wanted to do.

The man in the mirror knew that the intruder had to carry out the order to move forward, or he would suffocate in a short time.

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

You're back!

Before the person in the mirror was happy, he saw Russell, who had just entered the door, gently wiping his left hand on his face.

Brush!

Russell's appearance and clothes changed at the same time due to illusion, and he changed into the maid he had just looked.

The dozens or hundreds of Russell in the mirror were obviously stunned for a moment, a little caught off guard, and it took 0.1 seconds to change and become dozens or hundreds of maids who were fat or thin or tall or short.

This is self-cultivation to play the reflection in the mirror!

The person in the mirror, who reacted quickly, restated his signature line:

"Guess with me.

"If you win against me in Guess Boxing, I'll tell you how to get out of the Endless Corridor."

One after another maid figures in the mirror also clenched their right hands into fists at the same time, raising their hands above their heads, making the appearance of wanting to make a Russell guess fist.

The man in the mirror understands that as long as this young man loses to himself in the guessing box, then he can be trapped in the mirror forever, so that he can experience the same pain as himself forever!

And with the blessing of the power of this endless corridor, the winning rate of your guessing is more than 90%!

Russell nodded slightly, and raised his right fist like countless of himself in the mirror.

In order to know a way out of the endless corridor, this stupid prey accepts the challenge of the Man in the Mirror!

The person in the mirror was overjoyed, and pressed the smile on his face, and whispered in the maid's voice:

"Rock, scissors, ......"

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

Brush.

Illusion once again changed Russell's appearance.

In order to play the role of the reflection in the mirror, the person in the mirror who had been prepared for a long time changed his appearance again at the moment when Russell changed his appearance, so as to be consistent with Russell outside the mirror.

Brush. Russell has changed again.

The man in the mirror also hurried to follow.

In this way, before the official rock-paper-scissors were carried out, Russell changed into various forms over and over again.

Super Saiyan Son Goku, Gray Witch Irena, Bladefang, Doraemon......

Each time, the person in the mirror immediately changed into the corresponding appearance.

"This human being is really damned, it makes me tired of changing around!" The people in the mirror cursed in their hearts, but the fists of the two sides finally fell, and they got their wishes and Russell completed the guessing boxing.

The person in the mirror looks out of the mirror.

Russell ended the illusion the moment he finished guessing.

Now the boy is out of cloth.

The man in the mirror looked at his hand again.

He had just changed into Doraemon's appearance, so he was out of stone.

"It's broken. Deceived by humans, he became a creature with round hands. "The man in the mirror was very remorseful.

Outside the mirror, Russell was sinister smiling at the man in the mirror.

Actually, Doraemon is likely to have fingers.

But Russell will definitely not conjure his fingers when he casts illusions, forcing the person in the mirror to only produce stones!

Now you have to tell me how to leave the Endless Corridor...... Russell whispered in his heart.

[Rule four, the person in the mirror is honest. 】

However, in order not to break the rules and talk to the person in the mirror, Russell did not ask the question directly verbally, but 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 can't break the rules, he must keep his promises, and can only speak:

"I don't know if you've ever tried attacking the walls on either side, or using the wall-piercing technique, none of which can get you out of this space.

"There's only one way to really leave the Endless Corridor - this Endless Corridor has a Guardian who can stun it, kill it, or get its permission to open the spatial tunnel.

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

Deeper space? Could it be that that's the Joker's real secret room? And this rule is strange about the corridor, just to protect the protection of 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 it look like?"

"I don't know, maybe the monsters and wax figures do, but they're not like me, and they have to tell the truth." The man in the mirror answered truthfully.

During the Q&A, Russell still maintained the movement of moving forward, but each step was very small. He typed on his mobile phone and asked a new question:

"Why are you going to fight me or induce me to talk to you?"

There were dozens or hundreds of Russell in the mirror, and anger appeared on their faces at the same time:

"As long as you guess the punch and lose to me, or talk to me, you're just as trapped in the mirror as I am. Damn, you put it on the table! ”

Russell nodded slightly, and his entire 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 to be now, and the eyeballs are about to fall out of their sockets.

It turned out that the person who guessed the boxing with the person in the mirror just now was just a split soul from the wind chimes, even if the guessing box really lost, it wouldn't be good.

Although it is said that the dead do not have to enforce the rules, after all, the split soul is under the control of Russell, and for the sake of insurance, he still did not speak directly to the person in the mirror.

Under the glaring gaze of the countless mirrored reflections, the real Russell swaggered through the mirrored room and pushed the door open.

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

Russell walked through the familiar hallway, through the room where speech was forbidden, and re-entered the room where the baby was crying.

Just like last time, as I approached the baby's room, I heard a low moan that seemed to be the grinding teeth and roaring of a monster.

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

"Poor boy, I've walked the corridor now, and I know how to leave, I'll take you out!"

Seeing the baby on the ground, Russell's always indifferent face also showed a bit of warmth.

I saw Russell clapping his hands gently, and more than a dozen skeletons came out of the black mist.

Ordinary skeletons are the easiest undead to summon. This was the first spell that Russell mastered when he practiced black witchcraft some time ago.

One of the skeletons picked up the baby, took a bottle from Russell's dimensional fanny pack, and fed the baby.

The skeletal hand gently stroked the swaddling clothes, soothing the crying baby.

The baby who was picked up cried a little quieter, and his heart was full of joy.

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

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

As supernatural creatures created by the power of rules, monsters do not want to devour foreign invaders at all times, and feast on large pieces of their flesh and blood!

The monster in the arms of the skeleton squinted at Russell in front of him while sucking on the bottle and letting out a broken cry.

In the endless corridor, the enemies behind are dangerous, because the people in front dare not turn back!

Suddenly, the baby feels wrong.

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

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

"What the hell is this human doing? Why didn't the summoned skeleton follow him, but go backwards? ”

The monster disguised as a baby cursed in his heart, gave up his actions for the time being, and waited for Russell to circle the corridor and reunite with him.

The baby, who was held in the arms of the skeleton, sucked on another bottle and cried.

But Russell, who was farther away, heard not the cry of a baby, but the roar of a monster and grinding his teeth!

Russell shrugged:

"It's not good to make a loud noise."

Soon, the skeletons were holding the baby and walking into the room.

The forbidden room!

[Rule nine, the monster is loud. Monsters don't have to breathe. Monsters want to eat you. 】

……

At the same time, the real world, the Academy's Higher Academy.

Nearly 30 college teachers floated in the night sky, surrounding the clown's villa, their faces solemn, the evening breeze ruffling their clothes.

Surrounded by all the teachers and the stars, there was an old man in the middle. He wears a classical purple mage robe painted with stars and a traditional wizard's soft hat, and his gray hair is gray but energetic.

The moment the maid and gardener in the clown courtyard saw the leading old mage, they recognized at a glance the face that had appeared too many times on the academy's official website, and exclaimed at the same time:

"Mr. Headmaster!"

Mr. Principal, who has temporarily abandoned his identity as a headmaster and turned back into an old man, slowly descends from the sky and falls into the clown's garden.

His voice echoed like a bell in the dark night:

"We've got news that the fourth-year student of the Academy, the clown of the Transfiguration and Transformation Department, is suspected of stealing the Academy's senior knowledge scroll!

"This is an extremely serious violation!

"Now, in the name of the head of the International Academy of Legalism and Occultity, I will join forces with a number of teachers to thoroughly search this villa!"
