poor magician

The road paved with orange red bricks is dazzling in front of the eyes, and the boundless blue sky and white clouds look up.

Here is a wide maze.Li Shen waved the staff in his hand, and a pigeon appeared in his hand.And Chi Mu took out his own crystal ball from his satchel, and recited the spell of appearance.

Li Shen fiddled with his pigeon and said, "Follow the direction of the pigeon's beak and you won't get lost." He was slightly surprised to see Chi Mu struggling to hold the crystal ball, "You have a medium."

"The teacher gave this to me." Chi Mu smiled awkwardly, "It's just a little heavy...it's okay, let's go."

Relying on the pigeons to lead the way, the two came to a small bungalow.

A woman's cry came from inside the house, which was so miserable that it made one's heart tremble.

"You scum who abandoned your wife and son..." the woman cried out in a tearful tone, which attracted Li Shen and Chi Mu to push the door in and decide to find out.

The furnishings in the room were very simple, with a man lying on the only single bed, and a woman holding a child sitting next to her, desperately patting the bed where the man was lying, crying hoarsely.

Although Chi Mu had some sympathy for this woman who seemed to have lost her husband, he thought that this place was a practice labyrinth, so he began to observe the surroundings.

If it is a couple living here, why use a single bed?Chi Mu thought.

Li Shen stepped forward, intending to talk to the woman, but was unexpectedly grabbed by the woman's wrist.

"What, what?" Li Shen began to panic, and then he felt that the skin of the woman in front of him suddenly became rough, gradually turning black all over, and finally a few golden thorns emerged from her head, and her eyeballs also became bright red. Half human.

The woman lowered her head, lifted the child up, and pierced the two or three-year-old child in her hands with the thorn on the head. The blood flowed out uncontrollably and stained the deep shoes.

"Lishen!" Seeing the scene in front of him, Chi Mu couldn't help but sweat for his companion, and on the other hand, he felt guilty about why he couldn't help him out of the predicament.

"I'm fine...but the situation is not good..." Although Li Shen was frightened, he still forced himself to calm down and think about countermeasures.Although he tried desperately to free the hand, it was completely useless, "But to be honest, I don't want to leave the maze so early!"

Chi Mu looked around the room, there was nothing that could be used as a weapon.Seeing that the woman was about to lower her head and stab the thorn in Lishen's body, an idea suddenly popped into his head.

He chanted the mantra softly, and saw a machete appearing in the crystal ball. After that, Chi Mu controlled the phantom of the machete, and slowly moved it towards the woman's hand that was holding Lishen.

In order to avoid the machete, the woman let go of Li Shen's hand.

Although the realism of things conjured by Chi Mu's current magic power is still very weak, but fortunately the woman believed him - he was just taking a gamble.This was impossible for him in the past, he could actually help his partner out of danger.

Lishen broke free from the woman's hand, and hastily twirled his magic staff in mid-air, a thin wall appeared in front of the woman.

"I can't get close to us for the time being." Li breathed a deep sigh of relief, "But I can't last long. By the way, Chi Mu, when will you learn the illusion?"

"It was taught by the teacher..."

"Teacher is so kind to you." Li sighed deeply, "He hasn't said a word to me yet."

Chi Mu: "..."

Lishen pulled La Chimu's arm: "Let's go, let's go to another place. It would be bad if this man is also some kind of monster."

Chi Mu nodded, pushed open the door and stepped out, but the scene where he arrived was not the orange-red brick road when he came.

There is a junior high school in front of me. There is a sign next to the school gate, with the words PN junior high school neatly written on it.Behind it is a wide road with cars coming and going.

"What the hell is this..." Li Shen couldn't help complaining.

"Go in and have a look." Chi Mu pushed open the school gate and walked in.

As soon as I entered the school gate, I saw a huge banyan tree with a big green umbrella, and the sunlight leaked into the gaps in the branches and leaves, casting a spot of light.

Surrounded by several white teaching buildings.The sun is pouring everywhere, and the air seems to be filled with vitality.

However, there is a lack of young and lively students.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Li Shen couldn't help sighing: "Hey, I miss it. Now I'm an adult in my twenties..."

Chi Mu looked at the sunny campus, but his mind was full of being ridiculed by the children for not having a father when he was young, and he had no friends because of his low self-esteem.It wasn't until he came to the Academy of Magic and met Fuer who took the initiative to talk to him, and led him to know Lishen and Hanqi again, that he could gradually walk out of the shadow of loneliness.

His eyes fell on Lishen, and he couldn't help showing a smile.

"There seems to be some noise?" Li Shen changed his expression and spoke suddenly.

Chi Mu listened carefully, and found that there were indeed footsteps not far away, and they were getting closer.

So the two casually ran to hide behind a teaching building, sticking out half of their heads to observe the situation ahead.

I saw a man walking slowly, looking left and right as if he was looking for something, and kept shouting a name: "Xiao Cai! Xiao Cai!"

Chi Mu recognized him, it was the man lying on the bed just now.

"It's okay, I'm just looking for someone." Li breathed a sigh of relief and whispered.

Suddenly he didn't know if it was Li Shen's words that fell into his ears, the man paused, and then walked towards Chi Mu and the others.

The two didn't dare to make a sound, they covered their mouths and planned to move quietly.But unexpectedly, the man's pace suddenly accelerated, and he stood in front of the two of them after a while.

Li Shen couldn't help trembling, when he was about to use his stick to create a thin wall, the man was one step ahead of him, grabbing a person with each hand, and shouted: "Little Cai! Which of you is my little Cai?" !"

"Fuck!" Li Shen couldn't help cursing, "The ghost is your little Cai!"

This sentence seemed to have angered the man, and he grabbed the hands of the two of them tighter: "Xiao Cai! Tell me where Xiao Cai is!"

Chi Mu panicked and desperately tried to break free from the man's clutches, but it was useless.

Chi Mu couldn't help worrying.Both of them were restrained by men, unable to cast spells.

He thought that the man just wanted to find that person named Xiao Cai, so he should be able to delay for a while by lying.

"Xiao Cai is in the innermost teaching building." Chi Mu said.

Hearing this, the man let go of the two of them, and walked towards the farthest teaching building.

"You know?" Rishen tilted his head.

"It's just to lie to him." Chi Mu looked around, "find a way to get out of here."

"The quickest way is to fight the man." Li sighed deeply, "We can't do it without the attack system."

At this time Chi Mu suddenly began to miss Fu Erlai.

"Let's go and have a look around too." Chi Mu suggested.

Rifuka nodded, and then went to the two nearest teaching buildings. There was nothing abnormal in the classrooms and function rooms, but not a single person, not a single hair.

"It's strange..." Chi Mu said, "This is not reality."

"...Even the maze itself is not reality, what else can be reality." Li Shen was helpless.

"It's a fiction within fiction... I just don't know if it's a dream or an illusion."

Chi Mu suddenly remembered that Linxue once told himself that dreams can wake up, just like people usually dream, and there will be their own body and soul in reality.But if you enter the illusion, your own body will enter, and there will be no trace of this person in reality.

When they came in, they clearly saw the man lying on the bed.

"This is a man's dream." Chi Mu said, "We can go out if we find a way to wake him up."

"What's the name?"

"do not know……"

"..."

While the two were sitting in the classroom thinking hard, Chi Mu saw from the window that the man came back probably because he couldn't find Xiao Cai.

He quickly pulled Li and squatted under the table.

"By the way," Chi Mu had an idea, "The man seems to only want to find Xiao Cai when he comes here. If you tell him that Xiao Cai is not here, will he choose to wake up?"

"Try?" Li Shen didn't have any idea, so he decided to do as Chi Mu said.

"Let's split up." Chi Mu said, "I'll go over there, you over here."

"Okay." Li Shen still squatted and moved slowly, leaving the classroom.

Chi Mu leaned on the wall and moved forward slowly, for fear that the man would find him.

He slowly walked into a reference room.There are several bookshelves inside, and various materials are placed in a mess.There is a table and chairs next to the door, which seems to be for the management staff.

On the table is a school-wide student record with a particularly eye-catching red cover.

Chi Mu walked over and opened it page by page, all of which contained the basic information of the students.This school seems to have only nine classes, not many students, but there are so many teaching buildings, it can only be said to be a dream.

Chi Mu turned the entire document upside down, but found that there was not a single name with colored characters.

nickname?But there is not a single student here, so it is impossible to check whether it is a nickname.

Regardless of whether it was the truth or not, he was going to try to hand this over to a man.

Chi Mu touched the wall and walked forward, while observing the location downstairs where he wanted to find the man.After a while he saw the man standing beside the big banyan tree, seeming to be thinking about something.

He hurriedly threw the documents on the ground near the man.The man seemed to have noticed the material that fell from the sky, stood up and walked over to pick it up.

The man finished flipping through the pages of the document, and suddenly he yelled in a tearful voice: "Xiao Cai—"

Chi Mu's eyes were suddenly filled with white light, and he gradually lost consciousness.
