However, to their surprise, not a single bean was poured out from the bag that seemed to be filled to the brim. At this moment, Lake Witch Ellista's voice rang in everyone's ears once more.
"Unfortunately, because you're too late, the beans have already been snatched away by the naughty Little Fairy. So if you want to finish this round, you must first find the Little Fairy. Pay attention to your surroundings. When the Little Fairy escapes, it will leave footprints. Also, let me give you a friendly reminder, Little Fairies love to eat beans. When they finish all the beans, you'll be automatically eliminated. So, you don't have much time left. If I were you, I would have already started to move. Or do you want to listen to me spout a few more nonsense words?"
After saying this, the fox-masked man threw the lip-shaped magic device to the side with a regretful look. "It's a pity that I didn't get to see Jessica drool. Should I say, as expected of the Student Council's officer, your vigilance is really good. You were the first one to arrive, but you didn't touch the bag."
"Teacher, you really are the number one freak in the world." Louys gave the fox-masked man a thumbs up. "Wait, you deliberately set the time for today. Don't tell me it's because Jessica is on duty tonight." After realizing this, the female archer looked at the fox-masked man with even more disdain.
"Well, I can't neglect both work and entertainment. You also know that a game without a beautiful girl will be much less interesting and enjoyable," the fox-masked man admitted frankly.
The female archer then pointed at the Archmage in the crystal and asked, "What about this guy? He was also the first one to arrive, and he didn't fall for the trap."
"Well, this guy is the only two out of the twenty people that I can't see through. I'm not even sure if he's trapped by my Mystic Lock."
"Hey, who's the other one?"
The fox-masked man pointed at a bespectacled, childish little girl who had been a little uneasy ever since she entered the magic circle. "The other one is her."
"This is … Ginny? She's a freshman who just entered the School of Magic this year. Her Perception was pretty good in the entrance test, second only to the girl named Lolo. However, her performance in the other two tests was mediocre. " Royce recalled the information on Jenny, and a puzzled look appeared on his face. "What? Is there something wrong with her?"
"Haha, don't be fooled by her performance in the entrance test. Her talent is actually very average. Although I didn't go that day, from what I heard afterward, it seems like someone helped her in the dark at that time." The fox masked man rubbed his chin. "As for the little girl named Jenny … well, her situation is more complicated."
"Are you saying that her current appearance is actually a disguise?"
"No, no, no. If she has such an outstanding disguise at such a young age, then she's a bit too amazing. Actually, I've been paying attention to her since she first entered the school …" The fox masked man realized something was wrong as soon as he said this. As expected, Louisa looked at him as if he was looking at trash.
"Wait, it's not what you think. I'm paying attention to her not because I'm a lolicon, but because she might be an extremely rare twin soul." The fox masked man hurriedly explained.
"Twin soul?" It was the first time Royce had heard of this term.
"Yes. Simply put, there are two souls living in one body. This situation is not common, and it's usually because of the invasion of a foreign soul. As far as I know, some shadow creatures in the depths of the abyss have this ability. Every time their body is about to die, they will find a new target and their soul will be parasitized into another creature's body. However, the status of the two souls is not equal. In the beginning, the foreign soul is the absolute subordinate and has no control over the new body. Moreover, as long as the original soul says a word, the foreign soul will turn into ashes. Therefore, the foreign soul can only gradually weaken the original soul through seduction and deception. Until the original soul is so weak that it can no longer control its own body, the foreign soul will have the chance to take over."
The fox masked man rubbed his chin. "But Jenny doesn't belong to this situation. She's even more special. The two souls in her body are original."
"Huh?! Is that even possible? "Royce was shocked.
"Tsk tsk, this is the first time I've seen this. Have you heard of the phenomenon of spirits between twins? Jenny's situation is even more interesting. According to my speculation, her mother had an accident when she was pregnant with the two sisters. As a result, her older sister or younger sister died prematurely. Her soul should have dissipated along with it, but for some strange reason that I don't know, the young soul actually survived and entered her body. In this way, I can almost guess why this little girl came to find me. "
Just as the fox masked man was explaining to his female apprentice what twin souls were, the twenty people trapped in the maze on the other side had already begun to move.
Everyone heard Ellista's final warning and were caught unprepared by the game suddenly entering a time-limited mode. They hurriedly began to search for footprints around them. At the same time, those who had been struck by lightning had mostly recovered from the paralysis effect.
The male magician from the disciplinary department glared fiercely at Rob. Clearly, he was still holding a grudge against Rob for opening the bag when he couldn't move. However, he also knew that now was not the time to settle the score. Suppressing the displeasure in his heart, he discussed with the other party, "Hey, cloaked guy. Since we're all going to be punished if we can't find the beans, why don't we work together first?"
"Oh?" Archmage raised his eyebrows.
"Later, we'll split up. You search your direction, I'll search mine. No matter who finds the footprints first, they must notify the other party."
"But …"
The male magician from the disciplinary department waved his hand impatiently. "No buts. This is the fastest way."
Rob sighed. "But I've already found the footprints. They're right behind you."
The male magician from the disciplinary department turned around skeptically. Sure enough, he found a string of very light grey footprints behind him. The footprints eventually disappeared on the path he had come from.
The male magician was instantly overjoyed. At the same time, he was also a little confused. He muttered softly, "Strange, why didn't I see anything when I came over? Could it be that this little fairy knows how to turn invisible? "
However, now was not the time to worry about such trivial matters. As he spoke, the male magician from the disciplinary department had already chased after the string of footprints.
