Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Chapter 41: The World

On the other side, Tang Cao was still concentrating on sensing the energy reaction of the outer demon.

Since being recognized by the Rainbow Crystal Flower and becoming a magical girl, Karakusa discovered that her body had changed without her realizing it.

Of course, this change is not the change from A to D, but a more magical spiritual change that is difficult to describe in words.

After experiencing her first battle, Tang Cao realized that she was sensitive to some special emotions. In school, when some classmates showed negative energy, she could keenly capture it.

Although that negative energy was very small, often caused by situations like not getting any payouts from drawing cards, failing exams, or having your phone confiscated, it was still very obvious to Tang Cao.

Tang Cao guessed that this energy was most likely the source of the outer demon.

Likewise, the negative energy emitted by the outer demons will be more powerful and more aggressive.

Looking down at the crystal pendant in his hand, Tang Cao pursed his lips slightly.

"The rainbow crystal flower has been emitting magical energy since a while ago. This is clearly a reminder that there are traces of the outer demon around me."

Thinking about it, Tang Cao turned around and looked around. All he saw was a rotten corridor decoration, and there was nothing unusual worth noting.

"That's weird. There was clearly some reaction, so why didn't I see any of the Outer Path Demons?"

As he was speaking, Tang Cao suddenly felt that it was a little too quiet around him.

I suddenly looked back, only to see that the corridor behind me was empty, with nothing in the dim environment.

Only a series of lonely footprints remained on the blood-red carpet.

"Where's Daxin?"

I stared blankly in the direction I came from, and looking far along the corridor, I could vaguely see a faint light coming from the hall.

"He just came in with me, right?"

For no reason, Tang Cao felt that he was dancing a little too fast.

Meeting a stranger of the same kind in an unfamiliar environment, if Tang Cao had not previously confirmed that Daxin was indeed a human being, he would have suspected that the other party was a ghost.

Staring at the environment she was in, she didn't know if it was because the light was too dim, but she always felt that there was something around her secretly staring at her.

Tang Cao began to hesitate whether he should continue moving forward.

First there was a weird cake shop, then an even weirder restaurant. If you continue walking along this corridor, you don’t know what kind of danger you will encounter.

The most important thing is that the further I go forward, the farther I am from Yaoyao. If I can’t find the way back, it will be troublesome!

Just as she was struggling with her conscience, the sound of a small object falling to the ground came from not far behind her.

The sudden sound instantly made Tang Cao's body tense up. She quickly turned around and put her hands across her body, ready to fight.

"Tangcao?"

A familiar voice sounded, and then a furry white figure appeared in front of Tang Cao.

"noob!"

Tang Cao's expression became visibly happy.

Nothing could excite her more than seeing her spirit beast in such a strange situation.

Before, Tang Cao felt regretful for not taking Xiaobai with him when he went out.

Even though she is a magical girl now, she is a complete newcomer and doesn't know much about the information about the Outer Path Demon.

Just as he was about to approach Xiaobai, Tang Cao stopped in his tracks, with a strange expression on his face.

"Are you really Xiaobai?"

After experiencing the inexplicable disappearance of Daxin behind him, Tang Cao is now wary of all existence.

Seeing Tang Cao's reaction, Xiao Bai smiled and nodded. "Not bad, quite alert. That alone makes her much better than other newcomers." After a pause, Xiao Bai continued.

"Don't worry, the guys here can't simulate my existence. Even if they could, they can't connect with the rainbow crystal flower."

Hearing this, Tang Cao looked down.

Sure enough, after Xiaobai appeared, a faint fluorescence burst out from the rainbow crystal flower, and it flickered like a heartbeat.

The magic power around them also flowed more naturally, and seemed to be cheering.

Realizing this, Tang Cao finally relaxed.

"Xiaobai, woo woo woo."

Picking up Xiaobai, Tang Cao kept rubbing her body against his face.

"This place is too scary. You told me about the battle to become a magical girl before, but you never said I would encounter something like this. You don't know how scared I was just now."

Listening to Tang Cao's crying, Xiaobai rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"I don't think you're scared at all. Instead, I think you're excited and maybe even enjoying it."

After being held by Tang Cao for quite some time, Xiaobai finally couldn't help but break free.

"Alright, alright, stop messing around. We're not really out of danger yet. If we want to rescue your friend, we have to break the restrictions here."

"Break the restrictions here?" Tang Cao tilted his head. "Xiaobai, what on earth is this place?"

Xiaobai looked around with a serious expression, then slowly uttered a word.

"This is the surface world."

"Surface world?"

Tang Cao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but then he quickly reacted.

"Could this place be connected to the other world? Could this be the base camp of those outer demons?"

"What are you thinking? A base camp? If this is really the base camp of the Outer Path Demon, then we should just dig a hole for ourselves and lie down in it."

Xiaobai glanced at Tang Cao and then said seriously.

"The surface world is a layer between the real world and the inner world. It's also a buffer zone between the energy of deep consciousness and reality. It's not much different from the real world, but monsters still exist here."

"This setting seems familiar. It seems like I have played a similar game before." Tang Cao touched his chin.

"Don't interrupt." Xiaobai stretched out his claws and continued. "The monsters in the outer world aren't demons, but reflections in the hearts of all those who stray here."

"So, when someone with negative energy enters this place, this surface world will also give rise to corresponding monsters, right? However, I always thought that magical girls' battles mainly took place in the real world."

"Generally speaking, we do have to stick to the real world. After all, it is our last line of defense. But sometimes, some magical girls also need to sneak into other dimensions to save lives."

As he said that, Xiaobai sighed again.

"Logically, this should be the job of at least an elite-level magical girl. It's very dangerous for a newbie like you to barge in here."

"The surface world is different from the real world. The negative energy here is extremely deep, and it will also affect the magic power of magical girls."

"Besides, this is an independent world. If you're not careful, you might never get out of it. I can't find another magical girl to save you."

Tang Cao also knew that it was her own fault this time. Not only did she accidentally enter this place, but she even dragged Su Siyao into it as well, so she scratched her head a little embarrassedly.

However, looking at Xiaobai in front of him, Tang Cao couldn't help but ask the question he wanted to know most.

"Xiaobai, since this place is so strange, how did you get in?"
