Lord of Mysterious Wizard-Chapter 544 - 503

"Jim, what’s wrong with you?"

As fellow enthusiasts of the "antique train," these eight should all know each other privately, so they expressed concern at the sight of something off with the curly-haired man.

At this moment, a truly bizarre change occurred on the face of the man called "Jim."

The face that had originally been plump suddenly shrank visibly, a multitude of wrinkles formed on his skin, and then with a wicked twist, he laughed as he spoke word by word: "You all...have seen wrong."

"Boom!"

As his words fell, the young man violently clenched his fist and slammed it into the void.

A violent wind charged with brutal power swept through, shattering the illusion crafted by Hannah in an instant.

Because they made eye contact with Jim, a brand new image appeared in the dazed eyes of the enthusiasts:

The "Secret Phoenix Light" train they dreamed of was approaching, its doors slowly opening.

A strong impulse to board surged within them, and without a word, bloodshot eyes emerged among them as they all squeezed towards the only door. The scene was like something out of a low-budget zombie movie, where the excessive crowding prevented the seven from getting on immediately.

But the clearly disconcerted curly-haired man seemed utterly indifferent to this scene, firm in his belief that the "MH-R9" would not leave.

At this moment, he slowly turned his body to face the three figures who emerged from the void.

An overwhelming malice swept out from the man’s body.

Judging by his previous punch that shattered Hannah’s illusion, he possessed a significant amount of power within him.

Noah and his two companions stepped forward.

Walking at the front, Noah furrowed his brows, clearly considering how to handle the situation at hand.

Hannah still maintained her "individual" form, furiously glaring at the man as if blaming him for smashing the illusion she laboriously created, which led to the failure of her plan to rescue the group of enthusiasts.

Peggy, on the other hand, was focused on the motionless "MH-R9," filled with a retro vibe. Data flowed through her modified eyes.

Immediately, Peggy whispered to Noah: "This train is a Curio."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise appeared on Noah’s face, having initially thought this to be a Mysterious Event. But if the train serving as the "crime scene" turned out to be a Curio, that put things in a different light.

As Noah pondered, the curly-haired man froze.

He gazed at the three children standing not far in front of him.

Beneath his thick glasses, his bloodshot eyes revealed an intense shock.

Clearly, he had not expected that those trying to disrupt his "plan" would be three children.

He first paused, a struggle apparent on his face, before making a decision, he roared fiercely at Noah and his companions: "You~you all, leave this place now, get the hell out!"

"Bang"

Even before he finished speaking, a large hole was smashed into a nearby column by the man’s fist.

This change surprised Noah, Tang Qi, and Eva, who had been standing before the Magic Mirror.

Tang Qi appeared to realize something, a look of understanding dawning on his face.

And at this moment, Noah’s gaze also focused on the man, connecting the dots between his earlier destruction of the illusion and the nearly struggling actions of the curly-haired man urging them to leave.

"This man, or rather the will controlling his body, has the task of leading ’Prey’ onto the train, but also possesses a certain freedom, at least in..."

Noah’s thoughts were cut short as he glanced at the seven antique subway enthusiasts still scrambling to board the train, noticing that each of them held a card in their hand.

Subway tickets?

The flicker of doubt in his eyes immediately vanished.

"Only those with tickets can enter the MH-R9, and the guide cannot stop it... some kind of intangible rule?"

"To investigate the truth and save the missing persons, we must board this train no matter what."

"As for safety?"

Noah shared a questioning look with Hannah and Peggy using a prearranged signal.

Almost simultaneously, both girls nodded their heads.

Especially Hannah, who split into another individual and waved her little fist fiercely.

The message was clear: this guy is no match for me.

Noah smiled resignedly and then released a disarming aura, locking eyes with the restless curly-haired man with a gaze full of affinity.

He lacked powerful combat abilities, but his hypnosis ability had grown many times stronger than when he first met Tang Qi.

The power of hypnosis immediately caused confusion in the other, though it only lasted for two seconds due to the powerful horror and malice within him.

But for the three of them, it was plenty.

"Move!"

As soon as Noah spoke, Peggy and Hannah sprang into action.

Peggy disappeared on the spot, and when she reappeared, it was remarkably beside the train door, her seemingly delicate mechanical legs sweeping out like a phantom. Amidst the continuous "bang bang" sounds, the seven antique subway enthusiasts were simultaneously kicked out.

While still in mid-air, laughter from multiple girls penetrated their minds.

Unbeknownst to them, multiple Hannahs had split off.

One of the Hannahs, using the "Twisted Mind" ability, forcibly seized control of their bodies.

The seven controlled by Hannah simultaneously threw their tickets out, and flames swept over them, burning all the tickets clean.

By the time the curly-haired man regained his senses, he saw a peculiar sight: seven "Prey," running off in an orderly queue, shouting "one, two, three, four," just like soldiers, disappearing in the distance.
