Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Chapter 110 Biological Specimens
Is it related to natural energy?

After hearing Chang Lei's words, Tang Zijun couldn't help but think of the magical girl and the rainbow crystal flower.

According to Xiao Hui and Xiao Bai, the rainbow crystal flowers come from the natural energy in the real world, that is, pure natural magic, which is a special existence that cannot be touched by humans and evil forces.

Unlike negative energy, the energy fluctuations of nature are relatively positive. Although they are not very sunny, they are at least rich in vitality, which is contrary to the tranquility of the heretic demons.

"Do you suspect that this creature is from the magical girl camp?" Tang Zijun frowned slightly.

"I think it's very likely. In my memory, I don't think there's ever been a creature like this before," Chang Lei said. "Don't be fooled by their small size. Their bones actually hold a powerful energy, which could be considered magic."

In order to allow Tang Zijun to see more clearly, Chang Lei adjusted the folding magnifying glass to the normal position, and then used tweezers to pick up a leg bone the size of a matchstick.

"Look, there are some crystals at the fracture site of this leg bone. This snow-salt-like substance is the so-called residual magic power, but these are too small to be easily discovered."

Tang Zijun didn't know much about magic, and his attention was focused on the purple lines on the surface of the bone.

"These patterns weren't drawn by you with a pen, were they?"

"Of course not." Chang Lei replied without hesitation.

"Then what is this thing? Is it the remaining magic power in this creature's body?" Tang Zijun asked curiously.

"No, actually, according to my speculation, these creatures are the same as humans. The difference lies in their size. They are like humans that have been shrunk several times. And these lines come from the energy of the outer demons."

Chang Lei used a long needle as a teaching rod, pointing at the strange purple lines that extended from the hip bone to the toe bone and had no pattern at all, and continued to explain.

"Look, these lines aren't natural to the bones. They're carved into them by external forces. You should be able to smell the stench. They're the product of negative energy, the work of the Outer Path Demon."

Tang Zijun leaned over to observe carefully, and indeed found that on the surface of those extremely tiny bones, purple lines left pits and marks as if they were burned.

If you don't use a magnifying glass, you may not be able to see the truth of this thing at first glance.

"It should be the traces left inside the alien beast's egg." Although Tang Zijun asked in return, his tone was firm.

Chang Lei nodded slightly. "That's my guess. These little creatures must have been used as raw materials for the alien beast eggs while they were still alive."

"After the alien beast eggs were released into the real world by the outside demons, the endless negative energy not only became the source of power for the alien beast eggs to hatch, but also allowed the magic power in these creatures to transform into new things."

"If my research is correct, then the reason the alien beast eggs are not afraid of sunlight is most likely due to these unknown tiny creatures."

Tang Zijun's impression of the unscrupulous actions of the heretic demons deepened at this time. These guys were indeed just as Chang Lei said, a group of mad dogs with no bottom line.

You know, even most greedy people have a bottom line and remain rational, while the heretics and demons, these monsters do things without considering the consequences.

But it's no wonder. The greedy ones are the evil counterparts of humans. Although they are weird, they still have human thinking. The heretics are different. They are even crazier.

"Our previous speculation was correct. The Outer Demons, or rather, Lord Skeleton, are plotting something. They are using the negative energy of the real world to create a large number of exotic beasts."

"The question is, what is their purpose?" Chang Lei raised his head, looked at Tang Zijun, and continued.

"Although we have solved one problem, there are still two questions that remain. Why does Sir Skeleton cultivate so many exotic beasts? What exactly does he want to do?"

"Could it be that he's trying to help him expand his territory?" Tang Zijun suggested. "You said earlier that different high-ranking officials in the other world have different territories, right? So, could he be trying to seize the power of other high-ranking officials?"

"That's a possibility, but the problem is that there's no sun in the other world. He wouldn't need to train an army of sun-resistant beasts to take action."

"Then his only target should be the real world." Tang Zijun frowned and returned here after going around in circles.

In fact, Tang Zijun had this guess a long time ago. With such a large army, as long as Sir Skeleton wanted, he could make any city in the world fall at any time.

But what Tang Zijun was puzzled about was why he hadn't taken action yet?
"We can put this question aside for now." Chang Lei sat back in his chair. "What I want to know now is that cultivating such a large army requires an enormous amount of energy."

"You just saw it. There are so many corpses of little people in this monster egg alone. Sir Skeleton wants to build an army, so we have to find out where these little people came from."

Yes.

Where do these thumb-sized creatures come from?

Since they are not individuals, it means that they also have their own populations. And since Sir Skeleton has created so many exotic beasts, it means that he has most likely found the location of these creatures' populations.

Thinking of this, Tang Zijun felt a sense of urgency for no reason.

It’s no wonder that he was anxious. It would have been fine if he didn’t know before, but now that he knows, Tang Zijun can no longer remain indifferent.

After all, every time they waste some time, there is a high probability that a villain will die at the hands of Sir Skeleton.

"I need to get going as soon as possible." Tang Zijun stood up, ready to leave, but then suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, do you mind letting me take this corpse away? The magical girls need evidence, and I have to let them know the seriousness of the problem."

Although he really wanted to tie the magical girl to himself immediately, Tang Zijun also understood that his sudden appearance would most likely cause stress to the magical girl.

They have been fighting against the Greedy and the Heretic Demons for so long, and now that I have used the reversed world to find them, there is no way they will believe me.

Tang Zijun doesn't have time to make them trust him bit by bit. His best choice is to show the magical girls a bigger enemy and force them to stand on the same side with him.

In any case, when it comes to the issue of Sir Skeleton, the threat posed by the other party is definitely not just to himself, but to the entire real world.

After hearing Tang Zijun's words, Chang Lei reacted immediately.

"Of course I don't mind, but wait a minute, I've already prepared it for you. Let me find it for you, it should be in the living room."

As he spoke, Chang Lei walked out quietly, not letting Tang Zijun wait too long. After rummaging through the drawers for a while, he returned to the bedroom with several photo frames in his hands.

"What is this?"

Tang Zijun looked at the thing in Chang Lei's hand with some surprise.

The next moment, Chang Lei arranged the photo frames on the bed and showed them to Tang Zijun for review.

There are six photo frames in total, and they do not contain photos but specimens. Each frame contains a skeleton specimen fixed with steel wire, just like the one on the workbench, small and exquisite.

As if to add a decorative touch, Chang Lei also thoughtfully labeled them, and behind each bone were butterfly wings, some were blue, some were yellow, and they looked extremely beautiful.

I have to say, people really laugh when they are speechless.

The corners of Tang Zijun's mouth kept twitching as he stared blankly at the row of 'human specimens' in front of him, his voice trembling.

"This is."

"Ah, I know what you're wondering about. Thanks to Luan Luan, she gave me some great suggestions when she was helping me with the repairs."

Chang Lei introduced it cheerfully with a somewhat excited tone.

"I also noticed that the shoulder blades of these creatures have outward extensions. This is probably the adhesion of the exoskeleton. In other words, they originally had wings, but they must have corroded inside the alien beast eggs. So I used butterfly wings to restore them."

"No, no, no, that's not the point!"

Tang Zijun really didn't know how to describe his current emotions.

"You, you should know that these things are corpses, right? Wait a minute, Luan Luan? You still want Luan Luan to help you repair them?!"

"Right." Chang Lei took it for granted, not knowing why Tang Zijun was so surprised. "Time is tight and the task is heavy. I'm alone, and Luan Luan doesn't usually have much to do."

Hearing this, Tang Zijun's head went blank.

Chang Lei sighed lightly and continued.

"You don't know, Luan Luan is a good kid, except for her curiosity. A few days ago, she insisted on going to the zoo with me, and she almost ran away when I wasn't watching her. So for her safety, I wanted to find something for her to do."

Tang Zijun wanted to calm himself down, but he was a little confused.

"Excuse me, do you think it's okay to let a child as young as Luan Luan play with human skeletons?"

"Is there a problem?"

Snapped.

Tang Zijun slapped himself on the forehead.

"You are such a living dad"

Looking at Chang Lei, who didn't think there was anything wrong with him, Tang Zijun suddenly felt that it was inappropriate to let a greedy person take care of the child.

After a moment of silence, Tang Zijun picked up a specimen from the bed and said unhappily to Chang Lei.

"I will definitely find a way to treat Luan Luan's leg. Take Luan Luan to the zoo for me tomorrow."

"Also, don't let her come into contact with these things in the future. She's still a child!"
