[…Rule number four of the Paradise Rules: There are no monsters in the Paradise…no…]

"...The mask has grown onto my face...I have a feeling I might not be able to get out..."

[...I was scratched by a monster and hid in a safe house...]

It seems like dawn will never break. I've forgotten what day it is, but I can clearly feel my body changing...

[…Monster…killed the monster…puzzle inside the body…]

Who am I...Zhuoji...My name is Zhuoji...

[...]

This person seems to have been here for a long time. The diary was coherent for the first three days, but then it became intermittent, as if the protagonist had written it under intense pain.

However, it did provide some important clues.

If you wear that monster mask for too long, it really will grow onto your face!

Su Deng was glad that her bold guess had come true and that she had taken off the mask in time; any later and it might have been absorbed into the slime.

Are there puzzle pieces inside the monster's body?

Su Deng recalled the player she had seen when she first encountered the monster, and the fragments that fell from the monster's body after the player killed it...

Yes.

Since it's a monster park, everything is related to monsters.

Su Deng had a guess in her heart. She put away the notebook, kicked away the broken mirror in front of her, and didn't help. She let Jia Lele help the unconscious Zhou Ming leave with her.

"Human...you can't get out..."

Bang!

Hearing the eerie groans coming from the mirror behind him, Su Deng flicked her dagger and sent it flying, shattering the mirror behind her.

The cracked mirror shattered completely, and a figure exactly like Su Deng leaped out of the mirror and pounced on Su Deng, its gaping maw almost identical to the previous mask.

"ah!"

Jia Lele was so frightened that her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Without time to pick up the dagger, Su Deng directly drew her longsword and slashed.

She knew that the mirror monster was not dead and was waiting for its chance!

Whether it was because the monster's attack power was not strong to begin with, or because the monster was torn and bitten too badly by the little monster, Su Deng drew his sword and cleaved it in two.

With a scream, the already wretched monster splattered a bunch of dirty blood, then turned into specks of light that condensed into a piece of lens about half the size of a palm, which fell to the ground.

The monster that had just transformed into Su Deng struggled ferociously inside the lens, but it seemed to be sealed inside and unable to get out.

All the mirrors in the mirror maze were finally restored to normal.

Su Deng bent down to pick it up, and heard a faint rustling sound ahead. She looked up and saw a dark shadow disappear in a flash.

It's that little monster from before; it seems to be badly injured and has lost an ear...

Su Deng hesitated for a moment, then decided not to chase after them. The NPCs might still be useful. She dragged Jia Lele and Zhou Ming into the Mirror Palace safe house, and then stepped out through the broken mirrors.

And after she left.

The little monster ran out again, looking at its ugly and terrifying appearance in the shattered glass, and then at Su Deng's back. Its eerie green eyes seemed to glisten with moisture. It let out a whimper, licked the bleeding wound on its leg, and limped after Su Deng.
