Terror is resurging, but only I am.

Chapter 64 Infinite City.

Human skin clothing: Echo.

The spy ghosts and blind ghosts that Yan Ming had encountered before all had four-character rules, but the rules attached to this human skin coat only had two characters.

From the first experiment, he was able to basically determine the main application of this rule.

The ears on the human skin suit are virtually endless, and each ear can record a single sound, a process similar to "recording," but it is currently uncertain how long they can be stored.

Once the recording is complete, when other targets see him wearing the human skin suit, they will violate the taboo of "not looking at what is improper".

At this point, the ear that recorded the sound will transfer to the target of the taboo, and then trigger the result of the sound.

For example, if a dog's ears record the sound of an iron basin hitting the ground, when the recording is triggered by a rule, the target will be hit on the ground just like the iron basin.

Echoes are the reflection and repetition of sound.

However, from the perspective of the essence of the rules, what is reflected and repeated is not actually sound, but the cause and effect of sound.

Sound is merely one manifestation of the abilities of this man-eating leather garment.

The "echo" rule seems to be more interesting than expected, and is not the state that the dormitory manager previously presented.

In some ways, "echo" can even be compared to the blind ghost's "seeing reality," both possessing strong plasticity.

But thinking back on it now, what exactly was the original dormitory manager doing with the human skin suit?

Yan Ming had almost never seen it actively use any of the human skin's abilities, and he even suspected that the human skin might be selective in its use, perhaps possessing different abilities on different people.

On second thought, it's probably because the music teacher's soul was extracted, resulting in the dormitory supervisor who controls the human skin suit being a creature without any self-awareness, and even unable to use the power of the human skin suit normally.

Yan Ming looked again at the snake-like monster that had been smashed and was now dizzy. Without lingering, he followed He Lian and the music teacher, who had left the room, and ran up the stairs.

Looking at Teacher Zhao's slender figure from behind, he thought to himself and said, "Teacher Zhao, it's me, don't turn around."

Hearing someone calling her from behind, Zhao Yunyao instinctively wanted to turn around, but immediately heard Yan Ming instruct her not to turn around, so she turned her head and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Slow down," Yan Ming continued.

Zhao Yunyao didn't suspect anything and slowed her pace a little.

As an adult, she was naturally more voluptuous than He Lian, and now that she was running slower, she was instantly pulled three or four steps behind He Lian.

He Lian quickly turned her head to glance behind her and asked warily, "What are you doing? Why are you telling her to slow down?"

Judging from the alertness in his voice, He Lian probably mistook Yan Ming for some kind of monster that could mimic humans, and thought that he was telling Teacher Zhao to slow down so that he could catch up better.

"It's me. I controlled that snake shadow with my human skin, so it can't catch up for a while," Yan Ming explained, having also discerned this.

However, he did not ask Zhao Yunyao to slow down, because he had already recorded the sound he wanted.

The sound of Zhao Yunyao's footsteps.

A cat ear on her human skin suit records her footsteps and can be released at a certain time.

Then he followed Zhao Yunyao up the stairs, and at that moment he took the opportunity to peek down through the gap in the stairs.

But through the gap in the stairs, he saw the platypus's eyes staring straight at him. It had been waiting there ever since Yan Ming entered the third floor, just waiting for him to make a move to return to the second floor.

In that brief exchange of glances, the platypus noticed the human skin garment Yan Ming was carrying. A flicker of human-like surprise crossed its beast-like face before it quickly withdrew its head. This platypus recognized the human skin garment too!

However, even in that brief moment, the platypus still violated the rule of "do not look at what is improper," so Yan Ming planted the cat ears he had just recorded onto the platypus's body, specifically onto its back.

The platypus's forelimbs are not very long, but they have a lot of muscle, so they probably can't reach the ears on its back.

Furthermore, Yan Ming did not believe that such an ear could be removed by hand, otherwise the rules of "echo" would be too frivolous.

He was already very wary of the platypus's high-speed movement when he was on the second floor. Now he has added "Zhao Yunyao's Footsteps" to it. When the ability is activated, it should be able to force the platypus to slow down.

This way, it will be safer to escape to the second floor.

As Yan Ming thought this, he slowed down, because they had reached the middle of the third-floor staircase and were only a few steps away from the fourth floor.

If you don't know what's going on on the fourth floor, it's best to keep your voice down, as low as possible.

He Lian and Zhao Yunyao exchanged a brief glance, then gently lifted their feet and slowly moved up to the fourth-floor stairwell.

Yan Ming followed closely behind, also looking down the stairs towards the fourth-floor corridor.

The situation here is completely different from what they imagined.

Whether it's the second or third floor, the main structure of the dormitory building hasn't changed much, but the fourth floor...

Why are there two rows of dormitory rooms, one on the left and one on the right?
The original dormitory building was just a corridor. On the left side of the corridor was a row of rooms, and on the right side was an empty wall. Every three or four meters there was a gap connected by railings, which allowed students in the dormitory to lean on the railings and look out.

This design makes it more ventilated and cooler, but for safety reasons, an iron fence is still installed outside the corridor railing to prevent accidents such as students falling down the stairs.

Now, the overall layout of the fourth floor has changed. There are rows of dormitories on both sides, and they are all facing each other, with all the doors tightly closed.

The entire corridor was extremely quiet, so quiet that even the sound of breathing was crystal clear.

Mirror image?

Looking at the perfectly symmetrical scene before him, Yan Ming immediately thought of this concept: if there were a long and large enough mirror on the right side of the fourth-floor corridor, replicating the appearance of the dormitory on the left, then this scene would indeed occur.

So he reached out his hand, wanting to see if a mirror image would appear.

No.

He walked up to the fourth-floor corridor and reached out to try to touch the door on his right.

It is a physical entity.

It's not a mirror image; all these layout changes are real.

The moment he stepped onto the fourth-floor corridor, he suddenly noticed a change behind him.

He used to stand at the top of the stairs with a wall behind him, but now things are different.

An identical corridor appeared behind him, with two rows of dormitory rooms along it.

The space on the 4th floor has been expanded again.
