Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Chapter 109 Chang Lei’s major discovery!
Under the spotlight, Chang Lei was hunched over the desk.

His slightly plump figure was elongated by the light, and his eyes were fixed intently on the space between his hands.

Fine beads of sweat oozed out of Chang Lei's forehead, sparkling with a soft and crystal light under the light.

He casually put down a pair of small and delicate scissors, then gently picked up the tweezers next to him, his movements gentle as if he was handling some precious treasure.

He performed every step very carefully, fearing that he would damage the "object" on the workbench.

The light shone on his profile, outlining his honest face. His Mediterranean forehead was shining, making him look a little funny.

But his expression was so focused and serious, his brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes revealed a solemnity.

The tools in his hands changed from time to time, and every operation was done with extreme caution.

After an unknown amount of time, Chang Lei suddenly felt something. His hands froze and the expression on his face relaxed a little.

"Here we go, Wolf Rider."

At the bedroom door behind him, Tang Zijun was stunned for a moment.

"How did you know I was coming?"

Chang Lei grinned and laughed without turning his head.

"The instant noodles you had tonight were seafood flavored, right?"

Tang Zijun's mouth twitched, and he ignored him, then listened to Chang Lei continue.

"That tastes bad, not good. Spicy or hot and sour tastes better. But I prefer mixed noodles. I don't really like soup."

"Stop, I'm not going to chat about the taste of instant noodles with a greedy person from the mirror plane." Tang Zijun quickly interrupted Chang Lei's words, then walked into the room and closed the door.

Putting down the tools in his hand, Chang Lei turned around slowly.

"Look at you, just come here, what are you getting?"

"You think I'm giving it to you, I'm giving it to my child."

Tang Zijun said subconsciously, then he put the milk and snacks on the bed, and his eyes fell curiously on the desk behind Chang Lei.

"Oh yeah, I was just about to ask, what are you doing? Aren't you supposed to be dissecting alien beast eggs to extract energy? Why are you doing handicrafts now?"

"I'm just 'extracting' energy." Chang Lei took off his glasses and answered as a matter of course.

Tang Zijun noticed that there was a repair loupe stuck on Chang Lei's glasses. This is a snap-on magnifying glass, generally used for repairing watches.

As if noticing that Tang Zijun was a little curious, Chang Lei moved aside and displayed the workbench on the table in front of Tang Zijun.

Under the dim spotlight, a tiny human skeleton that had not yet been assembled lay quietly on a workbench covered with a blue cloth.

It is only the size of a finger, each joint is exquisitely detailed, and each slender rib is clearly visible, as if it is a work of art meticulously crafted by a master.

Chang Lei arranged the unassembled bones neatly aside, yet they still had a certain unfinished and messy beauty.

The humanoid's skull is small and round, only as big as a fingernail. There are fine purple textures on these bones, and each one looks so fragile that it seems that it will be damaged with the slightest touch.

Tang Zijun stared at the things on the table in a daze, as if he had forgotten to breathe.

He had imagined many things before, but he had never anticipated the current situation.

After a long time, a breathing sound was heard, and Tang Zijun turned to look at Chang Lei.

"Don't look at me." Chang Lei shrugged and couldn't help but say, "You don't even know what this thing is. Do you think I know where it came from?"

"Are you sure this isn't Luan Luan's art homework?" Tang Zijun licked his lips.

Chang Lei didn't respond, just stared at Tang Zijun quietly.

I thought to myself, is this thing real or fake? Can't you smell it?

In fact, Tang Zijun just found it a little difficult to accept for a while.

"I know that the beast eggs are not afraid of sunlight and there must be some dark secrets inside. Not to mention a dead baby, I can understand even if there is a magical girl's body inside, but this 'Thumbelina' is a bit..."

"Oh, I was just as surprised as you at first." Chang Lei smiled with a complicated expression, then sighed. "It turns out that the Outer Path Demon has mastered some unknown secrets."

Tang Zijun looked at the corpse with a somewhat uncertain gaze.

After a pause, he looked at Chang Lei again.

"You really don't know what this thing is?"

"I really do not know."

Chang Lei shrugged. "Think about it, I've only been around for a few years. I was just promoted to a high-ranking cadre and you've already set your sights on me. I only know about the heretical demons from other greedy people. Do you think I would know what this thing is?"

Tang Zijun rubbed his temples, his head was a mess.

"Tell me about it in detail. Tell me about your work these days."

"Okay," Chang Lei replied without hesitation. "I dissected the alien beast egg you brought. Besides the formed parts and the alien beast's flesh, I also found quite a bit of bones."

"Most of the bones I could identify were from various animals, mostly large beasts, and some deep-sea predators. Besides that, I also found some small bones of unknown origin."

"What you see now is just one of them. Inside that strange beast egg, there are seven or eight similar 'little human corpses'. Many of them have been digested and decomposed. This is all I can find."

"Seven or eight?"

Tang Zijun suddenly noticed the key point in Chang Lei's words.

"You mean, there's more than one of these things? What does this mean? Has the Outer Dao Demon found the legendary Lilliput Country?"

"Who knows?" Chang Lei crossed his arms. "Maybe we've discovered something we've never noticed before, or maybe it's aliens."

"You really dare to guess"

The aliens all came out, and Tang Zijun rolled his eyes speechlessly.

However, Chang Lei's words gave Tang Zijun an inspiration. If there is a place where these things can exist and will not be discovered by the real world.

Then he knew a relatively reasonable source.

"you say."

Tang Zijun narrowed his eyes.

"Is it possible that these things came from the dream world?"

"Dream world?!"

Chang Lei was stunned when he heard this, and then he began to ponder.

It is obvious that this creature cannot be produced in the real world, but instead has a certain connection with some bizarre world.

If it is a dream world, it can explain the origin of these creatures. After all, in that illusory dimension, it is not surprising to see any strange things.

But after thinking for a long time, Chang Lei slowly shook his head.

".I have to admit, Wolf Rider, your speculation makes sense, but it's highly unlikely."

"Why?" Tang Zijun asked.

"The reason is simple. The inner world is located beneath the real world. Do you know how difficult it is for those outer demons to climb into the dimension of the real world? This hierarchy from the bottom up is very difficult to cross."

Chang Lei said seriously, "It's not that I look down on those mad dogs. They're lowly creatures that have already done their best to even venture into the real world. But telling me they can reach a higher dimensional dream world is absolutely impossible."

"But I did find dark crystals and mirror cores in the dream world, which means that heretics and greedy people do have the possibility of entering the dream world." Tang Zijun said.

But Chang Lei shook his head again. "Your discovery only proves that they've 'visited' the dream world, but can you be sure they went there on their own initiative?"

Tang Zijun fell silent and listened to Chang Lei continue.

"People go missing every day in this world. Not just humans, but even greedy people and demons disappear for no apparent reason."

"You've fought us so many times, you should understand this. The reasons behind this are very complicated, so complicated that no one would take the initiative to look for them."

"And you simply stumbled upon their murder scene. This cannot be considered proof that the Outer Path Demons can access higher-dimensional worlds."

Listening quietly to Chang Lei's story, Tang Zijun sighed thoughtfully.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, Tang Zijun thought that Chang Lei was right. It was too difficult for creatures in lower dimensions to come into contact with higher dimensions. Even he had been passively pulled into the dream world until now.

"Then tell me, what other possible origins does this thing have?"

"I think you shouldn't ask me this question, but someone who knows more about it." Chang Lei smiled at Tang Zijun.

"Someone who is more knowledgeable?" Tang Zijun raised his eyebrows.

"Don't forget, our initial investigation was about that strange energy."

Chang Lei nodded at the corpse on the table.

"Although these little things appear for the first time, don't you think their existence is more in line with natural energy?"

The update time is tentatively set for 18:00, and two chapters will still be released consecutively.
