A huge mirror floats in the water.

In the mirror, white tentacles wrapped around Qi Jiu's body, like a prey that had crashed into a spider's web on a rainy day.

These tentacles covered with slime seem to be soft, but they have the strength of the roots of ancient trees, and the tighter they wrap up, the more Qi Yan is bound in them, and he doesn't even have room to struggle.

Of course, Qi Ji didn't have any willingness to struggle.

The white tentacles lifted him up from the deep mud, and the guy behind him kept rocking his fishtail, a beautiful fishtail covered in cold green scales.

As if showing off his patiently captured prey, Mr. Kraken seemed to be in a good mood.

Two pairs of equally gray-green eyes stared at each other through the mirror.

This is a tacit temptation and expectation, as if it has been planned for a long time.

The surging white tentacles united the two as if they had been born that way.

"Qi Jiu, are you satisfied?"

The Siren's voice was low, and it dissipated in an instant in the flowing water.

Qi Yan in the mirror raised his head slightly, and the corners of his lips raised a smile: "Very." ”

The kraken covering him also smiled: "If there is any wish you want to fulfill, remember to come to me and find me." ”

"Take your price."

The moment the white tentacles were released, Qi Jiu's vision returned to darkness.

The powerful water swept in, and the realm that belonged to the Kraken fell apart in an instant, and Qi Jiu, who had regained his freedom, even felt a little lost......

*

The intense light danced on Qi Jiu's eyelids, he struggled to open his eyes, and when he saw Qin Rang and Lu Zhi, who were as wet as soup chickens, Qi Zheng confirmed that he had returned to the stage of "Magic Hour" safely.

But I don't know if it's the sequelae left by the kraken on him, the moment he woke up, Qi Ji felt a little stuffy in his chest, and it became a little difficult for him to breathe out of the underwater environment, like a fish that had left the underwater environment.

"Brother Qi, are you okay?!" Lu Zhi looked a little flustered, and leaned over to ask with concern, after all, he had not experienced Qi Yan's temporary loss of consciousness.

Qin Rang was no longer surprised by such a Qi Jiu, and this time he lost consciousness for a short time, he put on a disappointed look, and joked to Qi Jiu who woke up: "Good guy, how did you change back?" It's still cute when I was a child. ”

"Sorry, it's growing too fast." Qi Zhen scratched his wet hair, trying to adapt to the land environment.

When he sat up slightly, he finally saw himself in the ubiquitous mirror in the performance tent, the thick green liquid constantly dripping from his body, and the soaked clothes stuck to his body.

With the help of Mr. Kraken, he transforms from a child back to an adult.

At this moment, several blue-uniformed staff members came in carrying stretchers from the entrance of the magic tent, and the surviving players saw with their own eyes that the blue-uniformed staff had captured a lizard alive from inside the safe passage, and on their stretcher there was a half-human, half-deer corpse.

The corpse looked as if it had been attacked by a wild beast, and both the human part and the deer part were covered with deep wounds that were shocking.

"I heard from them just now that after entering the safe passage, the players encountered a group of extremely aggressive sea monsters." Qin Rang synchronized the information he obtained to Qi Yan.

Qi Jiu: "Sea monster? ”

Qin Rang nodded: "Just as you speculated before, the "sacrifice" mentioned by the Evil Queen is not just the person who smashed the magic mirror, on the contrary, smashing the magic mirror is just the beginning, the monsters that were originally sealed in the mirror have all been freed, and they have turned into sea monsters and guarded the depths of the safe passage unlocked by the players, waiting for this group of deceived "sacrifices" to be sent to the door." ”

Qi Zhen frowned thoughtfully, why the sea monster?

Could it be that the magician also made a deal with the Kraken? That's why the magic mirror was deliberately arranged in the scene of "Water Tank Escape", which was used to mislead the player and at the same time, let the monsters in the sea have a full meal?

"At that time, they were in a dilemma in the passage, the space was very narrow, and the players were forbidden to use props, and the players who did not have any special means had no way to survive at all, so it could be said that they were all in one place." In the five minutes that Qi Yan didn't wake up, Qin Rang had already skillfully probed the situation in the safe passage.

However, the fighting quality of the players in this class seems to be not bad, and only three players disappeared in the passage.

However, Qi Yan also noticed that except for the last few players who didn't have time to enter the safe passage, even the players who returned safely with their strength were more or less injured.

"So some players choose to use green snacks and turn into animals to save their lives, right?" Qi asked.

Qin Rang nodded: "It is said that there is a player who only eats snacks after being attacked and bleeding... Fortunately, he ate late and died directly. ”

As he spoke, he shrugged, "Anyway, I think it's much scarier to become an animal than to die directly." ”

After a period of embarrassment, Qin Rang continued to sigh and said: "I don't know where the big brother who smashed the magic mirror got the courage and confidence, although everyone thought that breaking the magic mirror could break the game, but normal people are careful not to do it themselves, and it is really reckless and dangerous to suddenly smash the magic mirror..."

"Of course, there is a suspicion of hindsight, if it weren't for the fact that something really happened in the safe passage, I probably wouldn't believe it..."

Lu Zhi: "Do you really think that player is reckless?" ”

Qin Rang was stunned: "Huh? What do you mean? ”

Lu Zhi said in a deep voice: "Everyone is a player who has passed the book, don't you think that old brother suddenly became a bird, and he is not a well-thought-out bird, this kind of behavior is really too strange?" ”

Qi Zhen nodded: "That player is most likely manipulated, just like the player who went berserk and killed people in the tent at noon." ”

Qin let Hou realize that his eyes widened: "Ah, what do you mean..."

At this moment, the light from the top of the stage was brighter than before, and the magician in black dress walked back to the stage with his magic wand: "Congratulations, this is really a very wonderful water tank escape show, a magic stage, a show, but you have given two different ways to solve it, what a surprise!" ”

The magician looked at the wet crowd in the audience, his eyes rolling: "Although you look a little embarrassed now, it is very worth it for the effect of the magic show." ”

The crowd that escaped by chance: "......"

The magician raised the corners of his lips: "It's time for our third show, and I'm sure you'll be looking forward to it as much as I do." ”

Many players in the audience were stunned for a moment, and then there was a lot of discussion-

"What? How is there a third show? I thought it would be over in two games at most. ”

"Is this over? You don't have to add a ladder to the difficulty of every magic trick..."

"Wait, did you notice... There is no bell in this tent..."

The magician on the stage pricked up his ears to listen to the players' discussions, and he suddenly burst into a scalp-numbing laugh: "Guess what, what time is it?" ”

As he spoke, he ripped open a curtain that hung beside the stage, revealing the clock hidden behind it.

"How-how can this be?!" The players were surprised to find that the hands of the clock were still stuck at seven o'clock...

And the start time of the "Magic Hour" performance is exactly 7 o'clock in the evening.

So... The performance time in the magician's tent has never flowed at all!

This discovery came like a bolt from the blue, despairing players who were already exhausted by the magic of Tank Escape.

The magician saw the fear and despair on the faces of the players, and he seemed to enjoy it, raising the magic wand in his hand and announcing with a feverish and sickly expression: "As long as I exist on this stage, the magic will not stop, forever!" ”

"As a magician, I enjoy the stage and the lights, I enjoy standing proudly in front of the audience, and I enjoy the unexpected look of shock on the faces of the audience, like you at this moment."

The magician stood under the dazzling beams of light, and gave a morbid speech with passion, and the audience looked desperately at the clock that would not go.

Do they need to find a way to break the clock in order to break the curse of time and make the magic show flow again?

The magician seemed to have guessed the players' minds and smiled, "Don't try to break the clock on the stage, or you will be punished very severely!" ”

Players: "......"

How else to play?

"Qi Ji, what should I do now..."Qin Rang asked Qi Yan with a frown.

Qi Zhen glanced at the wall clock, and then at the magician standing on the stage in a black dress, but did not speak.

He rethought his previous question, why did the audience wear white robes full of cult rituals, while the magician himself wore a black suit?

"In the next performance, my new assistant will complete the performance with you, please applaud and welcome my new assistant lady-"

As he spoke, the magician made a "please" gesture towards the back of the stage, and although everyone did not want to accept the fact that the new magic was about to begin, no one would want to disobey the magician in such details, so they had to reluctantly applaud.

A lady in a black silk evening gown and a chic mask walked onto the stage to sparse applause.

She dragged the wooden coffin, which did not look very thick, in one hand and a huge chainsaw in the other, and after bowing perfunctorily to the audience at the signal of the magician, she placed the props in her hand in the center of the stage as required.

When the female assistant walked onto the stage with a chainsaw, everyone in the audience couldn't help but gasp.

All sorts of bloody and terrifying speculations poured in.

A coffin that can seal a person in it, a chainsaw... The repertoire for the next show is already obvious.

"I think everyone has all the hunches that we are about to perform one of the most classic shows of circus magic: "Human Cutting"."

Human cutting is a very bloody performance, so it will be listed as one of the most classic magic performances.

After all, the audience loves to watch something bloody and scary to get the adrenaline pumping.

Typically, the magician will select an assistant or invite an audience member to perform on stage, lie on a cutting device or in a closed wooden box, and cut it in half with a chainsaw.

According to Qi Yan's previous understanding, human body cutting requires superb skills and sophisticated devices to achieve a visually perfect cutting effect, which is also very dangerous.

While the female assistant was setting up the equipment, the magician began to explain the rules of the round: "My new assistant will draw an audience member of one color from the cards to perform. ”

"Later, the beautiful assistant will lie down in this coffin, and the audience who are lucky enough to be drawn on the stage will have the opportunity to experience the joy of cutting the human body with a chainsaw."

"Isn't the player the one who was put in a wooden box? Instead, a knife bearer? Lu Zhi was a little surprised, the moment the magician announced the performance project, his first reaction was that the unlucky players were about to be divided again.

Qin Rang complained listlessly: "I don't want to experience this kind of joy of killing people and dismembering corpses at all, thank you." ”

At this time, the players also began to talk about it-

"The most important thing for the success of cutting is the cooperation of props and assistants, so the question is, is this assistant not a spectator? So if we hurt her, will it also be judged as a violation and then punished? ”

"It's hard to say, but it's probably going to be judged a magic failure, right?"

"That's another question, what are the criteria for success in magic? Is the female assistant who chainsaw cutting the carton still alive? ”

"The devil knows if this assistant will cooperate with the player......"

Qin Rang looked at the female assistant on the stage who was about to draw a card for a moment, and suddenly bumped his elbow against Qi Yan and asked, "Eh, do you think this female assistant is a little familiar?" ”

"Is she wearing a mask? Familiar? Lu Zhi on the side thought it was funny.

Qin Rang: "Familiarity is not necessarily a face, it is the feeling of the whole person..."

Qin Rang's words attracted Qi Yan's attention.

He looked more closely at the female assistant on the stage wearing a reflective mask......

Reflective masks and black dresses, the female assistant's dress is too peculiar, is it some kind of hint?

At this moment, the female assistant displayed the color card in front of everyone and announced in a gentle voice-
