Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Chapter 111 Weak Woman

The flower shop late at night is quiet and mysterious.

The dim light from the street lamp shines through the window and falls on the flowers in the store, casting hazy shadows.

Tan Zhixin sat on the soft single sofa, her white and smooth legs elegantly crossed.

She was wearing a simple white dress, with her long hair casually draped over her shoulders. Beside her, the little green snake curled up into a ball, burying its head deep in its body.

Tan Zhixin held a yellowed book in her hands. She lowered her head slightly, her eyes focused on the pages. Her slender fingers flipped the papers from time to time, making a slight rustling sound.

The light shone on the side of her face, and her eyelashes trembled slightly, outlining a soft outline.

The flower shop was filled with the fragrance of various flowers, mixed into a unique and charming scent. Tan Zhixin seemed to be immersed in the world of books, forgetting everything around her.

On the small coffee table next to the sofa, there was a cup of tea, with hot steam rising and gradually dissipating into the air.

Her sitting posture always maintains an elegant posture, quiet and peaceful.

Just as she was about to turn to the next page, her slender fingers paused slightly, and a hint of murderous intent suddenly flashed in her gentle eyes.

But soon, this murderous intent was perfectly concealed.

"You know, breaking into a girl's bedroom late at night is very rude."

Slowly closing the book, Tan Zhixin smiled and turned to look at the shadow of the flower shop door, where a vague human figure was standing.

There was no sound from the doorbell, and the man seemed to appear out of thin air.

"Excuse me for using this method."

A magnetic voice sounded, and the figure took light steps, and walked out of the shadows into the light, reflecting a metal helmet.

Tang Zijun looked calmly at the woman in front of him. Judging from her appearance, she should be of the same age as him, but if she were placed among magical girls, she would definitely be considered older.

"Please forgive my uninvited presence. This is probably our first meeting. You can call me."

"Wolf Rider." Tan Zhixin uttered a name and stared quietly at the armored being in front of her.

Tang Zijun's expression under his helmet was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the other party would recognize his identity so quickly. Originally, according to his plan, the two sides should have a big fight when they met for the first time.

Magical girls and evil are mortal enemies, and this can be observed from Qin Nan. If Qin Nan had not been unable to beat him, the other party would have stabbed him twice.

Noticing Tang Zijun's silence, Tan Zhixin smiled gently.

"I'm naturally sensitive to sounds, and you didn't disguise your voice, so..."

Hearing this, Tang Zijun felt a sense of understanding.

Since he had always acted alone before, Tang Zijun had never learned to use any camouflage. He always found the enemy first, and then used the invincible frame to gain the advantage.

But to be honest, Mr. Qingnang's reaction was indeed a little beyond Tang Zijun's expectations. She seemed a little too calm, so calm that Tang Zijun could hardly believe it.

Anyone who finds a strange-looking creature suddenly appearing in front of them will subconsciously take a defensive and combative stance. This is the instinct of every creature when encountering the unknown.

However, Mr. Qingnang was still leaning lazily on the sofa.

After a moment of silence, Tang Zijun frowned slightly. "You don't seem surprised by my appearance. Aren't you afraid that I might harm you?"

"I'm scared." Tan Zhixin's lips curved upwards, and she casually placed the book next to her teacup. "That's why I usually don't dare to take a single step outside."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Zijun immediately felt a sense of crisis.

His eyes flashed quickly, and the sense of crisis came from all directions, but Tang Zijun could not determine the other party's exact location. It seemed to be right in front of him, yet everywhere.

In the peaceful and quiet flower shop, pots of flowers exude a delicate fragrance, but every petal seems to be a sharp blade hidden behind the beauty.

The delicate and beautiful stamens huddled together, watching Tang Zijun's every move. It seemed that as long as Tang Zijun did anything excessive, these potted plants would explode like bombs.

At this moment, every pot of flowers is like a silent killer, quietly waiting for the owner's order.

Although Tang Zijun was absolutely sure that these plants could not hurt him, the number and sense of crisis did make him feel shocked.

It turns out that the more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is.

The magical girl in front of me has completely turned the flower shop into her own fortress. No wonder she is so confident.

At this time, Tan Zhixin's gentle voice sounded again.

"There are many gaps between the other world and the real world. I can confirm that my area is safe, but I can't guarantee that there are eyes staring at me from behind the mirror. Just think of it as a weak woman's self-protection."

This woman had indeed dealt with greedy people.

"You don't look like a 'weak woman', Mr. Qingnang." Tang Zijun looked at him with some admiration.

"You don't look like a 'boy', Mr. Wolf Rider." Tan Zhixin picked up the cup, put it to her lips and took a sip.

"I've been curious since Qin Nan called me. I wanted to find a few sisters to investigate your identity, but before I could take any action, you actually came to me first."

"I never expected that girl Qin Nan would be involved with the Greedy Ones, but if it were you, it would make sense to have the ability to monitor several cities as an Outer Path Demon." "You misunderstand, I am not a Greedy One."

Tang Zijun said calmly, and added another sentence at the end.

"And there are no more greedy people in this world."

Hearing Tang Zijun's calm words, Tan Zhixin's heart was stirred, but she did not react on the surface. Instead, she stared at the man in front of her with deep meaning.

Tang Zijun didn't want to bring out all his past during the first contact. His purpose of coming here tonight was not to have a date.

"Actually, I didn't want to contact you so soon, but plans can't keep up with changes. I think it's better to resolve some things as soon as possible."

As he spoke, Tang Zijun took out the framed specimen from his arms and was about to walk over to hand it to the other party, but he felt that his actions might cause misunderstanding, so Tang Zijun put his raised foot back down.

Almost every magical girl will have something important taken away from her while maintaining peace.

Perhaps he was indeed not a greedy person, nor was he the enemy of these girls, but Tang Zijun understood that it was completely unrealistic to expect them to let down their guard with just a few words.

We can't solve everything with force. Mr. Qingnang is not Chang Lei.

Just as Tang Zijun was thinking about whether to aim at the basket and shoot a three-pointer, a slender vine hung down from above his head and lightly wrapped around the photo frame in Tang Zijun's hand.

Tang Zijun subconsciously looked up and found that it was a pot of spider plant with branches sticking out.

A magical girl of the wood element.

Even though he didn't hear any spells, he was able to control the plants around him as if they were his own arms. Mr. Qingnang's methods are truly terrifying.

The branch delivered the photo frame to Tan Zhixin's hand, then slowly retracted.

Looking at the human-shaped skeleton in the photo frame, Tan Zhixin frowned slightly, and the emotion in her eyes also changed.

"Well, don't get me wrong, I asked a friend to put this thing together. He's a bit of a collector, and he likes to package up interesting things when he sees them."

Tang Zijun's tone was somewhat helpless, but Tan Zhixin didn't care about it. Her eyes were fixed on the photo frame, and her palm was touching the bones through the glass.

"What do you mean by bringing this here?"

"Remember what we talked about on the phone before? The research I asked someone to do on the alien beast eggs has yielded results. The thing in your hand is the reason why the alien beasts are not afraid of sunlight."

Tang Zijun said softly, "We extracted this little human skeleton from an unhatched alien beast egg. It hadn't been digested yet, so it was barely preserved."

"It's just that I've never come into contact with this kind of creature, and the energy remaining on the bones is somewhat similar to the power of nature, so I wanted to come here to consult a professional like you."

As he said this, he was also observing Mr. Qingnang's face.

Subtle expressions often reveal a person's inner thoughts, but Mr. Qingnang has strong expression management skills, and even Tang Zijun couldn't see any valuable information.

At this moment, a rapid cell phone ring rang.

The cheerful music interrupted the dull atmosphere and also drew Tan Zhixin's attention away from the specimen in her hand.

Reaching out to pick up the phone from the table, while comforting the vigilant Xiaoqing, Tan Zhixin looked at the caller ID on the screen.

"Nana?"

The moment she saw this note, an enthusiastic, cheerful and lovely girl appeared in Tan Zhixin's mind.

Unlike her personal cell phone, this one is her work phone that she uses to contact various magical girls.

She has two more mobile phones like this, and each number contains the names of all the magical girls she knows. She prepares a few more because she is worried about encountering busy lines at critical moments.

Generally speaking, Tan Zhixin doesn't want to hear the phone ringing at night, because night is the time when the magical girls "work".

There was only one possibility for the call to come at this time, that is, her sisters were in danger, and the danger was serious enough that they needed help.

Looking up slightly at the man in front of him, Tang Zijun nodded in understanding.

Then she slid the screen and answered Nana's call.

"Hello, Nana?"

"."

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

After a long time, a trembling voice was heard.

"Sister Tan, cough, cough me."

The voice didn't sound like that of a young girl at all, but rather extremely hoarse and low.

“I’m afraid I’m in trouble here.”
