Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Chapter 24: Weird Words
In the endless dark world, the thick fog is like an impenetrable curtain, swallowing up all the light and life in this land.

The ground beneath my feet seemed to have life, sometimes hard and sometimes like a swamp.

In an environment with extremely low visibility, several dilapidated walls were vaguely visible, covered with signs of decay and mold, and even tentacles that appeared from nowhere and spread all the way to the base of the wall.

The cold wind howled, carrying a sharp whistle, as if it were the wailing of a lonely ghost. A foul smell and the stench of blood blew in the air.

At some point, a group of blurry figures slowly emerged from the thick fog. They moved slowly forward, but their faces could not be seen clearly. Only a cold breath could be felt.

In the gloomy environment, a whisper was heard, as harsh as the sound of iron chains rubbing against the ground.

"Sir, your speculation is correct. I'm afraid those greedy people have really made a comeback."

"Not many beings have the power to tear the ghost crab from the real world in an instant, and the power to take him thousands of miles away in just a few minutes is probably only those faceless creatures."

Although the voice was harsh, the tone was extremely respectful.

Then, a young voice emerged.

"I'll just assume the ghost crab is dead."

"This"

Although I already had a guess in my mind, I was still a little shocked when I heard Sir Sir confirm it at first.

"Sir, the last energy of the ghost crab is reflected in Snow City. Should we..."

"Qiong Niu, you have to understand that in the reversed world, there is no concept of distance. Even if they are thousands of miles apart, it is only a step away from them. We can't find any clues."

The young voice replied lightly.

"But."

The being called Qiongniu sounded somewhat anxious.

"The Greedy Ones haven't appeared in seven years. Although we don't have much interaction with them, we still run into each other occasionally.

When they disappeared, countless mirrors in reality cracked. This level of energy has a drastic impact on the entire world. I'm afraid something big has happened in the reversed world. The adults above all believe that the reversed world has collapsed.

They suddenly appeared at this time and attacked our people. Will this have any impact on our plan?"

Hearing Qiongniu's somewhat heavy tone, the young voice paused for a moment before slowly speaking.

"What you should be asking is how those greedy people managed to survive without seven years of negative energy supply."

"To be honest, sir, I do have some concerns about this. The disappearance of the Greedy Ones was already somewhat suspicious, and now they have inexplicably appeared again. I am worried."

"What are you worried about?" The young man's voice was a little playful. "Do you really think the Greedy Ones will turn against us?"

"The Ghost-Faced Crab's mission failed mainly because of that unknown entity. If that guy hadn't interfered, the girl would have died long ago." Qiongniu said coldly.

The young voice laughed sinisterly upon hearing this.

"Until now, the Greedy have coexisted peacefully with us. This time, they've voluntarily abandoned their seven-year hiding and revealed their tracks. Presumably, our recent actions have provoked them."

"What you mean is..." In an instant, Qiongniu seemed to have figured something out.

"It seems our old friend doesn't want us to be exposed to the sun too early, hehe."

A laugh like the cry of a ghost floated from afar, shaking the surrounding thick fog and causing it to surge violently.

The eyes in the shadows were all tightly shut, and flashes of lightning streaked across the sky above. The blood-red clouds twisted and writhed, as if they were about to burst open at any moment. Startled by the laughter, Qiong Niu's voice rang out again.

"But sir, our results are not yet mature, and those faceless men are coming out again. I'm worried..."

"Not in a hurry."

The young voice said with a faint smile.

"Since they have already revealed their identities, there must be someone who is more troubled than us."

When Qiongniu heard this, he also let out a series of eerie low gasps. Having followed the Lord for so long, he naturally knew who those 'people' the Lord was talking about were.

"Sir, what about our plan?"

"Let's put it aside for a while. Anyway, that thing is not mature enough. In such a chaotic situation, we don't need to draw fire. But we can find some bait to spread out."

"Bait?" Qiongniu was a little confused.

Then the young voice suddenly asked back.

"Qiongniu, have you ever fished?"

"I've never fished before." Qiongniu answered honestly.

"Fishing is all about casting your line, whether you're fishing or not."

The young voice has a captivating charm.

Hearing this, Qiongniu immediately understood.

"Sir, I know what to do."

In another dimension, Tang Zijun, the current owner of the mirror plane, tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

The invasion of the real world by the Greedy Ones is not without trace. The main targets of those guys are basically concentrated on humans whose negative energy has increased dramatically.

Since both parties do not exist in the same dimension, humans and greedy people generally cannot observe each other.

But when some people fall into darkness themselves or their hearts due to tremendous pressure or some things, the surging negative energy will attract the arrival of those greedy people.

Once the intensity of negative energy reaches a critical point, the real world and the reversed world will form a tunnel connected to each other through the reflection of the mirror.

This kind of channel is short and unpredictable, which may be the main reason why those spirit beasts cannot sense the presence of the Greedy One.

But unlike the greedy ones, the arrival of the heretic demon is often not related to a single individual, but is related to the total negative energy of the entire city.

There had never been a magical girl in Xuecheng before, Tang Zijun was sure of that.

If he had lived so close to the other person for several years without noticing her existence, then Tang Zijun would have lived in vain.

The problem is that, in a sense, magical girls and outer demons have an alternative symbiotic relationship.

The absence of magical girls means the absence of any dark forces, and vice versa.

Having lived in this city for several years, Tang Zijun had never sensed the presence of any external demon.

Then think about it the other way around. If your sister becomes a magical girl, does it also mean that the negative energy threshold of Snow City has reached a critical point, and then countless heretic demons will breed?
