Xu Shuo leaned against the door frame and looked at them openly.
He did not set fire or explode, so Rule 15 does not lock in his current identity. What's more, he and the female reporter who stepped out of the door are actually in two different spaces now.
Before a female reporter leaves the office, she is actually still within the rules of the office.
If she can resist the influence of her subconscious, as long as she doesn't step out, she won't fall into Lily's rules.
Just like when she caused the explosion on the third floor for the first time, the police assistant led them into the rules of "black and white dice" first, thus escaping Lily's rules.
Lily couldn't find the target, so naturally she couldn't start.
After all, she cannot travel through other regular spaces.
Xu Shuo stood by the door for a long time, but he didn't see Lily even look at her at all. Even the "servant" beside her didn't react at all.
It seems that Lily's new rules are not so extreme that they can be enforced across space.
Seeing the female reporter's expression getting more and more ugly, Xu Shuo stopped challenging her mental endurance and took a step forward to walk out of the filing room.
The next moment, Lily and the monster both turned their heads and looked over.
Lily stared straight at her and curled her lips: "Sister, were you playing with fire just now?"
Xu Shuo shook his head weakly: "It's not me."
"But, my servant said he saw you playing with fire here." Lily tilted her head and said the lines she had just said once in a tone without any emotion.
Later, the frightened female reporter discovered that the monster looking at her affectionately finally moved his head and seemed to be looking behind her.
The monster faced Xu Shuo and tilted its head to the right, imitating Lily's example, to a weird ninety degrees.
Xu Shuo pretended to think: "Could it be that it saw it wrong? Look, there is no fire here."
"There's none?"
Lily seemed to have heard some joke, and the smile on her face suddenly became very bright. As the question fell, dark matter seeped out of the walls and ceiling in the corridor.
The next moment, the spreading darkness suddenly burst into flames, instantly setting the entire corridor in flames.
But there was no burning sensation at all.
Instead, the female reporter was chilled. Flames licked at her from all directions, and even her legs standing in the corridor were already entangled with flames.
But she seemed to have lost consciousness, feeling no pain or burning.
The female reporter looked blankly at the blind woman behind her.
The blind girl was leaning against the wall, the burning flames had climbed onto her face, and her dark eyes were reflected in a fiery red, which gave her a sense of illusory poignancy.
But just as the female reporter's legs were not roasted, even if the girl was wrapped in flames, she did not seem to be harmed at all.
This fire doesn't seem to be threatening?
Lily smiled happily and opened her eyes to tell lies: "Look, you actually caused a fire! Our home was destroyed, and your bad behavior should be punished with the severest punishment!"
Xu Shuo remained unmoved in the fire, and even more blindly told lies: "What fire? I didn't see anything. Is it on fire?"
Female reporter: "..."
Just when she was confused by the conversation between the two, Xu Shuo turned his head and looked at her, then blinked and smiled.
The female reporter looked at her and was stunned. She seemed to be dazzled because in her sight, the blind girl was not wrapped in flames at all.
Just now, it seemed like it was just an illusion.
Thinking of this, the female reporter suddenly reacted!
She understands!
What the rules only erode is the target's mind, the target's willpower, and the target's cognition!
The flame may really exist, but if it does not exist in your perception, then it does not exist in your world.
After the female reporter figured it out, her body, which was so cold that she had no consciousness, gradually warmed up, and then became hotter and hotter... hotter and hotter... so hot that she started to feel pain.
Gan! This flame really exists!
Her feet are really being roasted too!
The female reporter was immediately startled and trembled all over.
Why on earth did she just think that the fire was not threatening?
If she hadn't reacted, she would have let the flames wrap around her, and then be burned alive by the fire without knowing anything!
The female reporter quickly bent down and hurriedly reached out to pat her burning feet several times, trying to put out the flames.
After discovering that ordinary techniques were impossible, she took out a golden chalice with her backhand and poured the clear water from her head without hesitation.
Crash--
The Holy Grail with the mouth as big as a bowl poured out a bucket of water in an instant, and the female reporter directly poured herself into it.
And the flames around her were extinguished instantly.
The female reporter took a long breath of refreshment.
"It's too late to put out the fire now. Why don't you just disappear with this damn prison!"
Just when she breathed a sigh of relief, a sinister laughter suddenly came from beside her.
--prison?
Before the female reporter who heard this had time to think about it, something unexpected happened!
Lily's azure eyes were gradually infected by fiery red, becoming violent and terrifying. She smiled ferociously, the skirt on her body suddenly burned, and even her hair turned into burning flames!
At the same time, the lanky monster accompanying her opened its huge palm, with its five raised fingers like the back of a throne.
Lily, who was furious, leaned back and sat directly in the monster's palm. She crossed her legs and stared down at the two people in the corridor.
"You annoying trash, start struggling."
Lily sneered.
The female reporter stood in the puddle of holy water, looking at the girl whose whole body was burning in shock, and then turned to look at the blind girl.
Xu Shuo said weakly: "Sister, I told you that you can only beat her to death."
The female reporter whispered: "Is there really no possibility of negotiation? I still plan to ask her something."
"Didn't I just try it for you?"
"...Did you just try?"
Wouldn't that just make you angry?
Oh, that doesn't seem right. What really angered him was the pouring of a bucket of holy water from her.
In fact, both of them were telling lies just now.
The female reporter calmly took out a few marbles, looked at Lily who was not far away, and said, unwilling to give up, she asked: "I want to know, was it you who caused the fire in Qiming Orphanage?"
Lily looked at her and tilted her head. She didn't say anything, but suddenly raised her hand!
Countless flames swarmed out from in front of her, like a wave, rushing towards the two of them with endless heat and destruction!
The female reporter immediately threw the marbles in her hand!
The marbles connected into a grid in an instant, blocking the wave of flames in front of them as the light flickered.
However, the next moment, flames came from behind her, above her head, and on both sides!
The female reporter stepped heavily on the floor. The water stains remaining on the ground flew up due to the force of the earthquake, and crystal clear water droplets floated in the air.
She turned around and shook her hand, slapping the water droplets with her palm.
Crash--
Like pattering rain, the water droplets dispersed in all directions, canceling out most of the roiling flames.
The female reporter looked at the blind woman's position amid the blazing flames.
"Where are you?!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the female reporter felt a figure pass by her side. The frail blind girl rushed straight forward with the burning flames on her face!
After breaking through the fire wall, in front of you is Lily sitting on the monster's palm!
