Chapter 120 [Monster Wearing Human Skin] (7800 words)
Chen Yan actually couldn’t understand what the puppet servant was saying, he just heard the announcement similar to a broadcast, and instinctively became alert.
But! Moments later, Chen Yan’s expression changed!
Because, after the puppet servant finished speaking, it paused for a few seconds, and then spoke again...
This time, it was in Dragon Country Language!!
Chen Yan’s face turned serious: The master of this secret realm has realized I’m from Dragon Country!
"...left the room. In view of this violation, a statement is hereby made. The master does not oppose guests making some attempts to break the rules—as long as the guests are willing to bear the consequences.
Last night, two guests broke the rules by leaving their rooms, one of whom is already dead.
The other surviving guest will receive an additional reward after the trial—if that guest can survive until the trial ends.
The above is a special statement. The master of the secret realm welcomes and encourages all guests to make every effort and attempt, and we support such actions..."
When Chen Yan heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched.
Support?
He shook his head and continued to quietly listen to the puppet’s voice.
"...Now, announcing the rules for the third night.
Starting now, the trial enters a pause period. During the pause, the outdoors is considered a safety zone. To reward the successful attempt of breaking the rules last night, the pause time for all guests is doubled, so the pause time this time is thirty minutes, please make good use of it.
During the safety time, all guests can freely leave their rooms and roam the second floor, without any attacks or dangers.
The provided pause time is for the second room exchange.
The only restriction for the second room exchange rule is this: you cannot exchange rooms with someone you exchanged with the previous night.
Other rules follow the previous room exchange rules."
After the puppet finished speaking, it paused, and then repeated the rules again in its dull, mechanical tone.
Chen Yan remained calm, took a sip of water, but his mind was thinking about another matter.
Last night, in the mirror world, why did that zombie monster appear?
·
If it’s said the zombie monster discovered him and then deliberately chased him into the mirror world — Chen Yan didn’t believe it!
Once he hid in the mirror world, even the Heavenly Dao couldn’t find him! Could that monster’s detection ability be stronger than the Heavenly Dao’s?
But it did appear in the mirror world.
After considering it, Chen Yan quickly made a guess:
Perhaps, the mirror world was originally a hiding place for the monsters in the secret realm?
·
During the day, the room is a safety zone.
At night, the monsters suddenly appear in the room.
How did they suddenly appear?
Where are the monsters during the day?
Maybe... in the mirror world?
According to this guess, the master of the secret realm might have some special spell, or possess a magical treasure similar to the black stone he got in Port City?
Can draw monsters into the mirror world, and, throw them out of the mirror world?
One thing is certain: the monsters themselves have no ability to enter or exit the mirror world!
Because the monster that was immune to magic last night had no solution after he hid in the mirror world — it didn’t have the ability to chase into the mirror world.
And the zombie monster could enter...
The master of the secret realm discovered him in the mirror world! Then threw the monster in!
Chen Yan rubbed his chin, and a new question arose in his mind.
It seems... the master of the secret realm doesn’t oppose him using the mirror world for the trial.
If it opposed, or had ill-will towards him, it would have shown up and killed him last night!
But it just threw in a zombie monster...
This action, when you think about it, wasn’t very decisive.
It seemed, just to make it a bit harder for him?
"Just doesn’t want me to cheat?"
Chen Yan frowned deeply — that creature who views human life as worthless, tortures and kills humans at will, skinning and disemboweling, committing such cruel acts, could it be so easy to talk to?

The door was knocked on, and Chu Keqing’s voice came from outside: "Senior!"
Chen Yan put away his thoughts and walked over to open the door.
Chu Keqing and Ouyang stood at the door, Chu Keqing breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Chen Yan open the door, then scrutinized him carefully: "Senior, are you okay? I..."
"I’m fine." Chen Yan took a deep breath, answered in a low voice on purpose, but also deliberately made his breath seem unsteady, then turned his head and coughed lightly twice.
Chu Keqing saw Chen Yan’s pale face and weak appearance, feeling a bit worried: "I, I see you seem a bit..."
"Really nothing." Chen Yan waved his hand, then looked at Ouyang.
Ouyang squinted at Chen Yan, then nodded: "Brother, it’s good that you’re fine. I wasn’t actually worried, once you agreed to exchange rooms last night, I knew you had a way to deal with that thing."
Ouyang’s face changed slightly: "Did you reveal your identity? The puppet started speaking Dragon Country Language!"
Chen Yan raised an eyebrow: "Why assume I revealed my identity? Maybe you guys did."
Ouyang’s expression turned strange, then shook his head: "Brother, honestly, the one who violated the rules by leaving the room last night, was it you?"
