Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Chapter 106 A bigger secret

At first, Qin Nan and the others focused their attention on Tang Zijun and did not notice what was in his pocket.

And now, when Tang Zijun took out the rainbow crystal flower, Qin Nan's eyes suddenly widened, looking at the gem in front of him in disbelief.

"Rainbow crystal flower! Where did you get that?!"

"What do you say?"

Tang Zijun asked helplessly, then placed the rainbow crystal flower in Qin Nan's hand and continued.

"The place we went to this time was a little different from the previous ones. There was a group of things similar to 'rulers' there. They looked very strange, and there were also traces of human habitation. That's where I discovered this thing."

"Are you okay?" Xiao Hui looked worried.

"Luckily, that thing can't hurt me, but I can't seem to hurt it either. I chased it all the way through a primeval forest before it was willing to cooperate with me. Oh, I should have changed into a pair of sneakers earlier."

Tang Zijun felt a little sad when he looked at his slippers that were almost worn out. After running for so long, he was afraid that these shoes would not be wearable anymore. He really didn't know how those people in the anime could fight monsters in slippers.

Tang Zijun did not become extravagant and wasteful just because of his financial freedom. The habit of frugality and housekeeping was already engraved in his DNA.

Listening to his words, Xiao Hui and Qin Nan looked at each other.

Oh my god, that's a lot of information.

"Can you confirm the identity of this thing? For example, which magical girl did it belong to before? Perhaps you can ask Mr. Qing Nang?"

"I'm afraid I can't do it." Qin Nan shook his head.

"The Rainbow Crystal Flower isn't just the power of a magical girl; it's the essence of nature. If something like this loses its host, it will instantly vanish into nothingness, transforming into pure natural energy. It won't survive at all."

"So you mean, the owner of this rainbow crystal flower is still alive?" Tang Zijun's eyes moved.

Qin Nan hesitated for a moment and sighed slowly.

"Although I am willing to speculate from this angle, but..."

She injected her magic power into the rainbow crystal flower, and then the surface of the gem began to flicker with fluorescence, and soon, a withered plant mark emerged.

"Generally speaking, a rainbow crystal flower cannot be activated by another magical girl if it has an owner. However, this rainbow crystal flower is clearly ownerless. Most importantly, the magic power within it is depleting, which is proof that its host is dead."

"When a magical girl dies, the rainbow crystal flower usually begins to crumble, but this... seems a little off."

Xiao Hui suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but speak. "Sister Nan, you forgot, you just talked about the situation where the magical girl died in battle."

"You mean?" Tang Zijun also reacted at this time. "The owner of this rainbow crystal flower did not fight the enemy, but had already..."

In response to this, Xiao Hui sighed softly, feeling a little depressed.

"I'm afraid this is the only possibility. The rainbow crystal flower is the source of the magical girls' power. They would never give it up. The fact that you picked it up proves that its owner was killed long ago."

"The most crucial question is, how could this thing appear in that place? Could it be that a magical girl has touched that area before?" Qin Nan frowned.

Tang Zijun was lost in thought, his gaze fixed on Xiaobai.

He still remembered the strange dream when Xiaobai's memory was transferred, the huge monster, and the magical girl team that fought against it.

If all this happened in the dream world, then this question would have a reasonable answer, but the problem is that they are now unable to determine the identity of the owner of this rainbow crystal flower.

Qin Nan looked at the rainbow crystal flower in his palm and felt that this small gem was heavy.

"This magical girl was at least Green Level in her lifetime. Even among magical girls, she is considered extremely powerful. To be able to kill her silently before she even transformed, God knows what she went through in that world."

Tang Zijun thought of the group of red-robed figures she had encountered before. Those guys were indeed very strange, but even they shouldn't be able to kill a seasoned magical girl. Any magical girl who can reach the Green rank has undoubtedly experienced many dangerous situations. Tang Zijun didn't believe that they would be so easily ambushed if they were in that position.

In other words, there is a high possibility that there is something else hidden in that forest, something even stranger and more powerful.

Just as I was thinking about it, the sound of a key opening the door came from outside the house.

Hearing the noise, Qin Nan quickly returned the rainbow crystal flower to Tang Zijun and stood up reflexively.

Tang Zijun was also stunned for a moment, then put the rainbow crystal flower in his pocket. "Let's put this matter to rest for now. The most important issue now is investigating Sir Skeleton."

"Ah."

Qin Nan nodded heavily, then walked out.

As soon as he walked out of Tang Zijun's bedroom, he met Tang Cao and Su Siyao who came in.

For no reason, Qin Nan suddenly felt like she was caught doing something bad. Her body stiffened and she didn't dare to look at Tang Cao.

"We are back~"

Tang Cao didn't seem to notice anything wrong. She just happily picked up the two big bags in her hands. Su Siyao behind her was holding five or six express packages and was panting.

"I bought some food on the way. Sister Nan, take it with you when you leave. By the way, what are you doing?"

"Ah uh. I, we"

Qin Nan stammered, not knowing how to answer.

At this moment, she happened to see Xiao Hui flying out from above her head and quickly spoke.

".Your brother and I are playing with birds."

boom.

In the bedroom, Tang Zijun, who was changing his shoes and preparing to go out, almost fell down. Fortunately, he held onto the door frame in time.

Qin Nan also realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly added.

"It's my bird I'm playing with."

"Stop talking! You're making things worse!" Tang Zijun slapped Qin Nan on the back of the head and walked out speechlessly. "We're teaching Qin Nan's parrots to talk. Come on, Xiao Hui, show them."

How quickly Xiao Hui reacts.

"Congratulations on getting rich! Congratulations on getting rich!"

"Wow, that's amazing!"

Tang Cao clapped enthusiastically.

Although she knew that Xiao Hui was a spirit beast, she knew that her brother was unaware of this.

Anyone who meets a parrot as smart as Xiaohui would be unable to resist teaching it to talk. Tang Cao was also very happy to see that Senior and his brother started playing together so quickly.

However, Su Siyao narrowed her eyes slightly.

His gaze stayed on Qin Nan for a long time, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that her clothes were not wrinkled.
