Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Chapter 155 Error Teleportation (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

Anything unknown often implies unpredictable dangers.

Qin Nan knew very well how accurate this statement was when applied to the remnants of the heretical demons—especially when this thing was still shining!
As the holder of the golden leaf, Tangcao was also startled by this magical scene. After taking out the leaf, she stood there in a daze, and countless guesses inevitably popped into her mind.

But in the end, she could only manage to utter one sentence.

"Won't this thing explode!?"

Heaven have mercy!

She had only thought the leaves were pretty, sparkling like gold, and the decorations were exquisite. Tangcao originally intended to give them to her older brother as a birthday present.

But what she didn't expect was that this thing actually hid other secrets.

Like Qin Nan, Tang Cao could also feel the amazing vitality emanating from the leaves in her hands.

This energy fluctuation is not obvious in these young girls, but if it were applied to the elderly, the effect would be extremely terrifying.

Upon hearing Tang Cao's exclamation, everyone around her instinctively moved away from her.

However, Qin Nan calmed down the next moment.

"It's unlikely to explode; this thing isn't gunpowder, and besides..."

Halfway through his sentence, Qin Nan suddenly noticed Su Siyao's presence, hesitated for a moment, and swallowed the rest of his words.

As a magical girl, the phrase "never reveal your identity to ordinary people under any circumstances" was deeply imprinted in Qin Nan's mind, and it was a rule she had always believed in.

In fact, there have been magical girls in history who have revealed their identities, but they have mostly kept it to a small circle and never made it public. Even so, those predecessors did not have a good ending.

The retaliation of evil forces is only part of the story; the real reason they fell into the abyss is the malice and prejudice in human nature.

In foreign history, there have even been trends of capturing magical girls and burning or hanging them, which serves as a wake-up call for every magical girl.

"So... what exactly is this thing?" Su Siyao asked, her eyes wide with suspicion.

"This thing..." Tang Cao looked at Qin Nan, trying to ask for help, but seeing that the other party didn't know how to explain it either, she could only bite the bullet and say, "I don't know what this thing is either, I picked it up."

"Picked it up?"

Su Siyao's curiosity intensified.

She sat down next to Tangcao, adjusted her glasses, and carefully examined the golden leaf in the other's hand. This was clearly a supernatural object that aroused her extreme interest.

"Tangcao, you should be able to feel the power emanating from this thing, right?"

Qin Nan didn't speak, but her voice appeared in Tang Cao's mind.

This is the best way for magical girls to communicate, and it's also a standard procedure to avoid revealing their identities. After establishing a telepathic connection, only Su Siyao was unable to hear their voices.

"I could clearly sense that this leaf seemed to be an extremely special life form. It didn't seem like an inanimate object possessing special energy, but rather..."

“It looks more like it’s alive, doesn’t it?” Little Grey said.

"I thought I was the only one who noticed, but it turns out you all felt the same way!" Xiao Bai also joined the group chat.

Ignoring Xiaobai's surprise, Qin Nan frowned slightly.

"I can sense the precise changes in magic power here. Perhaps because my elemental attribute is derived from a wood-based mutation, my perception is more direct. This leaf seems to have been activated."

"Activated? Who activated it?"

Tangcao opened her mouth.

"I didn't move around randomly. Apart from meditating this morning, I haven't used any magic. Besides, I specifically checked the leaves back then, and they didn't react at all."

"I know it wasn't you, which is why I'm a little confused. What activated this thing? Clearly, it would only exhibit this abnormality if it were stimulated by other energies."

"What do we do now? Yao Yao is still watching from the side."

Tang Cao couldn't help but ask in her heart, while Qin Nan was also somewhat helpless.

If they were to find an excuse to send Su Siyao away at this time, it would be a bit too obvious and suspicious.

After a moment of silence, Qin Nan pursed her lips.

"So, I'll try to use my magic to communicate with the energy within this leaf, first to determine if it poses any threat to us. If it's just glowing, then any excuse can easily suffice."

Little Grey thought for a moment. "It's possible, but isn't it a bit unsafe? Should I go ask Sister Tang Tan?"

"I'm merely attempting communication; I'm not interfering with the flow of the leaf's inherent magic. It shouldn't elicit a significant reaction from it."

Without further ado, Qin Nan raised her hand to tuck the strands of hair from her forehead behind her ear and flicked her earring lightly with her finger.

The next moment, a faint blue fluorescent light flickered. Because Su Siyao's attention was focused on the more radiant and magnificent golden leaves, she did not notice anything unusual about Qin Nan sitting opposite her.

Immediately afterwards, a gentle breeze suddenly blew through the house. The breeze was so gentle that it looked as if someone was blowing softly.

The wind element flowed gently into the glowing golden leaves without provoking any resistance or stimulation.

Then, Qin Nan's brows furrowed deeply.

Noticing Qin Nan's expression, Xiao Bai jumped onto the table and stared at her intently.

"How is it? What's going on?"

Little Grey and Tangcao held their breath, waiting for Qin Nan's response.

After a moment of contemplation, Qin Nan's expression became extremely strange.

"This thing is afraid."

''Fear?''

They really hadn't expected this answer.

"Yes, it seems to be afraid of something and wants to leave immediately. It feels very urgent; something here is influencing it."

After a pause, Qin Nan raised her head.

"And we're probably wrong. It wasn't energy that activated the leaf; the leaf itself was alive, and this luminous state was its true nature!"

As they were talking, Tang Cao suddenly felt a force on her hand. She instinctively let go, and saw the leaf detach from her palm and slowly float into the air.

"I go!"

Seeing the supernatural phenomenon unfold before her eyes, Su Siyao gasped in surprise.

Looking at Tang Cao and Qin Nan, they were both stunned in place. Even Xiao Hui and Xiao Bai's pupils shrank, as if they had been frozen in place.

Gazing at the golden leaves slowly floating in mid-air, Tangcao no longer cared about telepathy.

"I didn't touch it! I didn't do it!"

The golden leaves began to shine even brighter, making it look like a chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

Everyone present stood up, their eyes warily fixed on the strange leaf.

Qin Nan's communication with the leaves continued. Although she couldn't reach a specific conclusion yet, she now knew exactly what this thing was.

Strictly speaking, this leaf is a kind of magic receiver. Like an orbiting satellite, it connects magic anchors at different locations over long distances and transmits the flow of magic.

It's not wrong to say it's alive, because it is indeed 'alive,' but it's just an organ; its main body is in another location, or more precisely, in a location far away from them.

Previously corrupted by the heretical demons, it was unable to unleash its original power and could only be passively controlled by the aura of the heretical demons. After losing Qiong Niu, it gradually recovered.

And now, it is developing a fear of the current environment.

This fear is like a tourist suddenly and accidentally falling into a wild tiger enclosure; it's a fear stemming from a primal instinct for survival.

Upon receiving this message, Qin Nan suddenly realized something, and her eyes widened sharply.

—It's Tang Zijun's fish tank!
Since the golden leaves do not reject her magic, it proves that the magical girl's power cannot arouse its vigilance. However, she seems to have subconsciously overlooked the fact that they are not in an ordinary household.

At this very moment, the house they were in was truly the 'nest of the god of greed'!

"No! We have to find a way to suppress it!"

Qin Nan couldn't help but move closer to the golden leaves.

At the same time, Tang Cao also swiftly extended her palm.

"If we could freeze it with ice elements..."

"careful!"

Little Grey let out a scream.

The next second, a dazzling burst of light erupted!
In the blink of an eye, golden light enveloped everything around them, and light particles floating in the air covered everyone, tinting the outlines of the five lives in the room with gold.

Everyone felt a blinding light strike them, quickly filling their entire field of vision. Then, the living room environment began to blur.

After the light faded, the living room abruptly returned to silence.

The entire room was completely lifeless.
