"Isn’t that right?" Chen Yan deliberately spoke loudly: "Only someone who is exceptionally ugly would love this kind of beautiful human skin. And, you must be very, very old now, your own body, your skin might already look like dried orange peel, covered in age spots, no, not age spots, but corpse spots, corpse fungus...
No, that’s not right, maybe even your bones have already decayed.
So, you crave this youthful vibe, don’t you?"
The Skin-Clad Ghost outside the door didn’t speak, just lowered its head, but its body was faintly trembling, clearly trying to suppress its anger.
"You can’t open the door and rush in, right?" Chen Yan continued to smile: "Even in the Mirror World, you are restricted by the Secret Realm’s rules, right?
The room in the Mirror World is still a room! Monsters in the hallway cannot break into a guest’s room area, even in the Mirror World! This is the spatial rule here, isn’t it?
Thank you, I understand now."
Chen Yan further confirmed—everything here, the monsters, including the Secret Realm Master, are restricted by rules!
So... it looks like the Secret Realm Master doesn’t have such deep control over this realm?
After a moment of silence, the Skin-Clad Ghost raised its head, took a deep breath, its voice still soft, but carrying a trace of curse and malice: "Dear guest, I hope when I peel off your skin, you can still talk so carelessly!"
Chen Yan ignored the Skin-Clad Ghost’s threat, lightly patted the door a couple of times, then turned around and walked back into the room.
He rested for a while, ate some food, drank some water, lay on the bed for quite some time, and after more than thirty minutes had passed, Chen Yan walked to the bathroom mirror and then jumped inside.
"You... where did you hide just now? How did you end up in the bathroom?!"
In the room, a little boy stared viciously at Chen Yan who suddenly walked out of the bathroom.
Chen Yan spread his hands: "Now, that’s a question. What else can someone do in a bathroom?"
"..." The little boy gritted his teeth: "But I clearly searched! I even checked the drain..."
Chen Yan nodded, looked around the room, even the bed was flipped, the wardrobe on the wall was dismantled.
Clearly, this guy not only checked the bathroom, but turned the bedroom upside down.
"You must have cheated!! You obviously don’t know the Invisibility Technique... No! Even if you know the Invisibility Technique, you can’t escape my search!" The little boy’s eyes turned: "Or, you ran outside the door!"
His face suddenly twisted, becoming hideous and terrifying, his voice changing from the sharp sound of a little boy to a rough, thick voice: "Leaving the room in the game is cheating! Cheating means you lose! I’ll open the door and let you die!!"
Chen Yan’s expression remained calm: "If I’m not mistaken, if I cheated, the rules would react, and you’d be able to open the door, right? So stop with the boring threats, if you could open the door, you wouldn’t be wasting words with me."
"..." The little boy stared at Chen Yan unwillingly, but finally, the hideous look on his face gradually faded, returning to the face of a little boy: "Fine! Tell me, how did you do it?"
"You can save that question for the third round... if you win the second round." Chen Yan smiled calmly: "According to the rules, I won the first round! I initiate the second round, if I win the second round, there won’t be a third one, so you better try hard."
"Ha!" The little boy sneered hatefully: "In this room, I am the strongest! There’s nothing I can’t do!"
"Alright then, I will set a challenge that you can accomplish." Chen Yan’s tone was very sincere: "So, shall we begin the second round? As the initiator, right?"
"Let’s begin!" The little boy impatiently grabbed his hair, annoyed: "Start quickly! I can’t wait to see you die!"
"Then according to the rules, I will ask you a question first, you must answer honestly." Chen Yan took a deep breath, slowly said: "Tell me, how can you speak Dragon Country Language? I don’t believe you naturally know Dragon Country Language!"
This isn’t the Marvel World, where aliens conveniently speak English.
The little boy listened to this question, and unexpectedly fell silent, after a while, he coldly said: "The second round is a precious scoring opportunity for guests like you! Are you sure you want to waste your question on something so trivial?"
"If you don’t want to answer, you lose." Chen Yan shook his head, not wanting to waste time.
"... Fine." The little boy said loudly, impatiently: "It’s the Power of Rules from the Secret Realm! Answer completed!"
"Don’t muddle through." When Chen Yan heard the words "Power of Rules", his heart moved, but his face showed dissatisfaction: "Explain in detail!"
"..." The little boy glared at Chen Yan.
Chen Yan remained unmoved: "Do you want to break the rules?"
At these words, a flash of fear appeared in the little boy’s eyes.
The two stared at each other for a few seconds, then the little boy sighed helplessly.
"Alright!" He lowered his head, spoke slowly: "I don’t know your Dragon Country Language, but the Secret Realm has the Power of Rules, because you are from Dragon Country, to conduct the trial, the Secret Realm grants me the ability to speak Dragon Country Language—but it doesn’t mean I truly master Dragon Country Language, it’s the Power of Rules that allows me to automatically convert what I say into Dragon Country Language.
To be precise, at this moment, when I speak, I’m clearly speaking Japan’s language, but the moment I utter it, it transforms into Dragon Country Language—that’s the magic of the Secret Realm!"
