Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Chapter 122 Huailing Mystery
At approximately 1:24 a.m. yesterday, an explosion occurred in an industrial plant in the Xixia District of Chongqing City.

[It is reported that the factory has been temporarily suspended due to financing negotiations. No one was present at the time of the fire, and there was no large-scale infrastructure or chemical raw materials inside, so the possibility of a leak has been initially ruled out.]

[Nearby residents heard a loud noise in the middle of the night and later saw flames and thick smoke billowing from the direction of the factory.]

[The fire has been brought under control and no casualties have been reported. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.]

Qin Nan stared at the phone screen silently.

There have been a lot of similar news recently. I don’t know if this incident has anything to do with the heretic demon.

When Qin Nan saw the escape room incident on a certain audio platform, he was quite panicked, fearing that these things would be exposed accidentally.

And now, when she saw these events, she always subconsciously thought of the external demons.

But there is nothing that can be done about this kind of thing. If it rains, it will rain and my mother will get married. If things really come to that point, she probably won't be able to stop it by herself.

After a pause, Qin Nan simply stopped thinking about it.

I casually swiped past the news, and then an exciting BGM sounded.

[It doesn't matter if I was struck by a sword. I lost the game. The law of heaven and earth prevails.]

[The armor is broken before the enemy appears. The situation is not right. Wear armor and take up the sharp weapon.]

[I'm being targeted, leave me alone, I'm being ambushed with low health, I'm burning with rage.]

[Squatting on the comfrey, climbing tree trunks, before the battle begins, blending into the darkness.]

Now Qin Nan smiled and began to read with relish.

Why think so much? It’s better to live your own life. Hey, my hands are itchy, I really want to play some games.

At this moment, the aroma of food drifted into Qin Nan's nostrils. She subconsciously took a breath and then turned to look at the kitchen.

Soon, Tang Cao and Su Siyao came out carrying a few plates.

"Sorry for the long wait." Su Siyao happily placed a plate of dumplings in front of Qin Nan. "Try it. My mom made them. They might not taste as good as Brother Tang's."

"It's good to have something to eat." Qin Nan didn't mind getting his hands dirty, picked up one and put it in his mouth. "Mm, delicious!"

"As long as it suits your taste, my mother took her annual leave a few days ago and stayed at home for several days to prepare a few big meals. Unfortunately, I'm used to eating Brother Tang's cooking." Su Siyao stuck out her tongue.

As she spoke, she divided the vinegar dish among the others, then picked up her own plate and started eating.

"Auntie has a bland taste, and the meat filling doesn't have much flavor, but it's quite fresh." Tang Cao, like Qin Nan, is the type who eats whatever is available.

"Sister Nan, what were you looking at just now?"

"Oh, a game video, just watch it when you have nothing to do."

Qin Nan replied, then turned to look at the balcony. Over there, Xiaobai and Xiaohui were eating cat food with distasteful expressions.

As spiritual beasts, their bodies are different from those of ordinary animals. Without saying much, at least when it comes to eating, some things can be digested by them.

But unfortunately, due to Su Siyao's presence, the two of them could only disguise themselves as ordinary pets and could not get on the table at all.

"By the way, where is your brother?" Qin Nan asked.

"I don't know. He left a note saying he was going out for dinner with other friends. He must be out of town. He might not be back for a few days." Tang Cao shrugged.

"Ah, then I won't be able to eat Brother Tang's food for a long time." Su Siyao was a little distressed.

But Tang Cao chuckled. "But no one's watching over us anymore, and my brother left me a thousand dollars, so we can have a good time for a few days!"

"I owe you a lot, brother. I'm envious." Su Siyao bit her chopsticks and pouted.

However, Qin Nan did not react at all. Her attention was still on the fact that Tang Zijun had not returned for the past few days.

Others may not know, but she is very clear about Tang Zijun's identity.

As Tang Zijun is the controller of the reversed world, he can go directly to other places, even if he wants to go abroad, there is no need to leave any special notes.

The only possibility for this to happen is that he is currently handling some cases, which are relatively complicated and require him to handle them outside for a long time.

Could it be a case related to the heretic demon?

Qin Nan's eyes moved slightly. She had not forgotten that Tan Zhixin had contacted her before.

If this matter is really related to Tan Zhixin, then the plan that can be carried out by both Tan Zhixin and Tang Zijun must be a big deal.

While Qin Nan was thinking, Tang Cao and Su Siyao's building had already become tilted beyond recognition.

".Could it be that Brother Tang has found a partner?"

"impossible."

"He's never been out for so long before, and so suddenly."

"But my brother stays at home all day, so how can he have a relationship?"

"Maybe it's an online romance?"

"Yeah, that sounds unreliable."

"That's right, Tang doesn't seem like the type to do something like that." "Ah—Qiu!"

In the dense forest of Huailing Mountains, Tang Zijun couldn't help but sneeze.

"What's wrong with you? Do you have a cold?"

"No, it's probably because the smells in this forest are too mixed."

Tang Zijun rubbed his nose and answered casually.

The smell in the forest is indeed relatively turbid, which has a certain impact on Tang Zijun who is accustomed to human cities.

Huailing Mountains is located in the central area of China. It is the boundary mountain that divides the north and the south. The temperature, climate and terrain between the south and north of the mountain show great differences. Therefore, this place was called the dragon vein in ancient times.

Life in the mountains is not as beautiful as imagined. Tang Zijun has seen some short videos posted by forest rangers before, but the scenes of them living in the mountains and fields with deer are just a moment they show.

What cannot be seen in those pictures that can be shared is the unpredictable weather, the loneliness of isolation, and the completely inconvenient environment compared to the city.

With his feet on the weeds, Chang Lei wiped his face with the towel draped over his shoulders.

"Honestly, who would have thought that one day I would come to this sparsely populated, shabby place with you? If it were you, I wouldn't come here even if you killed me."

"I can't help it. You're the only one I can pull." Tang Zijun smiled. "This operation is quite complicated. God knows what's waiting for us ahead. For safety's sake, I can't let those little girls get into danger."

"So you're so embarrassed to let me come over here and tread on the minefield, right?" Chang Lei glared at Tang Zijun fiercely. "I can see that you're both respectful to the elderly and kind to the young. Catch anyone in the middle and beat them up."

"I didn't force you to come. Drink some water."

"Go, go, I have my own."

After unscrewing the lid of the kettle and taking a big gulp, Chang Lei casually put the kettle into the magic space. Then he sighed softly, feeling a little complicated.

In fact, Chang Lei himself did not have much ill will towards Tang Zijun.

Although Tang Zijun is a human being and has been killing other greedy people, in Chang Lei's eyes, they cannot be considered "enemies" from the beginning.

As the only human who can enter the reversed world, the Greedy People have long regarded Tang Zijun as one of their own kind. So no matter what others say, in Chang Lei's eyes, the demise of the Greedy People is a civil war.

It was just that a powerful greedy person was killed by another even more powerful greedy person.

Cannibalism is not common, but it does happen. Even those external demons will fight and devour each other, and similar incidents have naturally occurred among the greedy.

However, Tang Zijun is the only one who has been able to kill other greedy people by himself throughout the thousands of years.

So in Chang Lei's cognition, he did not reject Tang Zijun's orders to him. After all, the Mirror Food God of Greed was dead, and Tang Zijun was the one in charge now. It was just a change of boss.

After a moment of silence, Chang Lei looked at Tang Zijun hesitantly.

"Wolf Rider, have you really made up your mind?"

"What do you mean?" Tang Zijun was a little confused.

"Magical girls," Chang Lei said. "We are natural enemies. If you choose to help them now, you're declaring war on the other side of the world."

"Are you worried about my safety or your own?"

"I think it's both. I'm mainly worried about Luan Luan and my mom," Chang Lei sighed. "Before, I was alone and fearless, but now, if those mad dogs in the other world get angry, I'm afraid..."

Tang Zijun glanced at Chang Lei and understood what he was worried about.

Chang Lei at this moment is a bit like himself back then.

"I told you I won't force you. If you feel this is too threatening, you can always take your family to a safe place. I won't stop you."

"I can't leave now. I just think this is more interesting."

"interesting?"

"The former enemies became allies, and the former allies became enemies. I really want to see what expressions those magical girls will show after knowing the truth."

Chang Lei raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Tang Zijun meaningfully.

"Don't tell me you're not interested in this."

"I don't have a bad taste like you. I stand on the side of the magical girl simply because Karakusa is a magical girl and she needs friends."

Chang Lei's face was filled with disbelief, and he smiled nonchalantly. "Now there are only two of us left among the Greedy Ones. You're the boss, so whatever you say goes."

At this moment, Tang Zijun, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.

Noticing Tang Zijun's movements, Chang Lei paused slightly and looked around in confusion. "What's wrong?"

Tang Zijun didn't answer immediately. Instead, he remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking. "Don't you think it's a little quiet around here?"

Hearing this, Chang Lei also frowned. He took out the map and took a look at it.

"It's a bit quiet now. We arrived directly from the reversed world in the depths of the forest. Here..."

"We should be very close to the location recorded in the diary."

My stomach hurts, so Chapter Two will be later.
