Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Chapter 78 Tang Cao, Tang Ziyi

Looking at the strange beast egg trapped in the mirror world in front of him, although there was a curtain between them, Chang Lei could still feel the evil aura.

"I've heard about these things a long time ago, but I've never had the chance to come into contact with them. Seeing them is truly better than hearing about them. They're even more disgusting than I imagined."

Since the Greedy Ones are transformed from the reflections of humans in the mirror, most of them invade in the form of humans. Even if they have sprouted a mirror core, they still look like monsters.

But the heretics in the inner world are different. Their images are all strange and bizarre. Any living or dead thing that is possessed by the dark crystal will be transformed into a heretic demon full of evil power.

The reason why the strange beasts created by the heretic demons are called biological weapons is because they have no rationality at all, only endless killing and bloodthirstiness.

In Chang Lei's words, there is no trace of beauty.

"How do you want me to cooperate with you?"

Tang Zijun came to Chang Lei's side, crossed his arms and asked casually.

"It's enough that you've caught it here," Chang Lei said solemnly. "Next, I'll try to figure out what kind of transformation this thing has undergone."

"Can you do it alone?"

Tang Zijun turned his head and glanced at Chang Lei.

"It's not that I look down on you, but this beast is no ordinary beast. If you interrupt its hatching phase rashly, it will go into an extreme frenzy and become extremely threatening."

"If you still possess the power of a senior cadre, I wouldn't mind. But now, with your current state, I'm afraid..."

"Are you worried about me?" Chang Lei smiled and continued, "Don't worry, even though I can't show my true strength, I won't let a guy like that get hurt."

The mirror channel opened, and pure light wrapped around the strange beast egg and presented it in front of the two.

Chang Lei tentatively touched the surface of the monster egg with his hand and scraped off a layer of black sticky liquid with his fingers, which made Tang Zijun frown.

"A pure creation of death, indeed the work of those guys from the other world."

As he spoke, Chang Lei stuck out his tongue and licked it.

"It tastes like rotten bear meat, with a hint of human blood. If you strip away the intense negative energy, the Outer Path Demon really did spend a fortune."

Looking at Chang Lei's operation on the 'alien beast egg on the tip of his tongue', Tang Zijun almost vomited.

However, he quickly gathered his thoughts and asked, "I can understand the smell of human blood, but what is a bear?"

"Have you heard of Xiong Bin?" Chang Lei asked back.

Tang Zijun was stunned for a moment, then looked at Chang Lei in surprise. "Are you talking about a special species among bears? I thought it was a creature from historical legends."

"Are we no longer 'legendary' creatures to the people of the real world?" Chang Lei said gently. "Don't underestimate those creatures in the other world."

"Bears are incredibly intelligent, cunning, and deceitful. They are the strongest and most intelligent of all bears. Most of the bear-related killings you've heard of are the work of bears."

Listening to Chang Lei's explanation, Tang Zijun also fell into silent thought.

Although Tang Zijun himself did not know much about the habits of these animals, he often watched some strange and mysterious cases on the Internet and had heard of some cases of bears killing humans.

"The so-called 'alien beast', first and foremost, has murderous intent towards humans. It is a terrifying monster that hunts humans for food."

"Most exotic beasts are bred with human flesh and blood, but for the Outer Path Demons, the best materials for breeding exotic beasts are monsters that have actually killed humans."

"Many bears who have tasted human flesh will become addicted to it and indulge in the desire to kill. They will disguise themselves as humans and wait for hikers to approach before rushing forward and killing them."

"The beast inside the beast egg you brought this time must be the bear that is being transformed by negative energy."

Chang Lei turned to look at Tang Zijun and continued, "Luckily you acted quickly. Although I don't know where you caught this thing, if this bear had been exposed on the street, it would probably have caused quite a bit of damage."

"When did you start to worry about the safety of mankind?" Tang Zijun chuckled, crossing his arms.

"People change."

Chang Lei sighed softly, then he raised his head and was silent for a while before he slowly spoke.

"Honestly, Wolf Rider, there's something I've wanted to ask you before."

"What's the matter?" Tang Zijun asked.

"You've been silent for seven years. For seven whole years, you haven't appeared in front of me again. I know you will find me eventually, but you have no intention of killing me."

Chang Lei stared at Tang Zijun seriously. "Why did you choose to come out again at this time?"

"Perhaps you didn't know about the existence of the other world before, but that shouldn't be a reason for you to fight. I can sense your anxiety. You seem desperate to find out more about the Outer Path Demon, even going so far as to seek help from a former enemy."

"So why on earth did it happen that caused you to react so strongly?"

Hearing Chang Lei's words, Tang Zijun opened his mouth, paused, and couldn't help laughing.

"You're really sharp, Hux."

Tang Zijun shook his head slightly and sighed.

"It's not something that can't be discussed. After all, in a sense, we know each other pretty well—do you still remember my sister from my hometown?"

"Sister." Chang Lei pondered for a moment, his dusty memories slowly uncovered, and a name surfaced in his mind. "It's Tang Ziyi, right?"

"It's a good thing you still remember it." Tang Zijun smiled.

Tang Ziyi was Tang Cao's original name.

Tangcao was weak and sickly when he was young, and he had been suffering from illness since he was born. It was for this reason that his parents changed his name to "Tangcao", which was taken from the name of a traditional Chinese pattern, implying lushness and vitality.

Perhaps it was because of this name, Tang Cao really became much healthier after he was three years old. He never had any serious illness again and became more lively and outgoing.

"Actually, my situation is similar to yours."

Tang Zijun looked a little worried.

"You gave up your power as a senior cadre for Luan Luan, and endured inhuman pain every day. And I picked up the belt again, wasn't it for my sister?"

Seeing that Tang Zijun's expression did not seem fake, Chang Lei could understand his feelings.

Raising his hand and patting Tang Zijun's shoulder, Chang Lei sighed.

"Condolences."

"Thanks."

Tang Zijun nodded somewhat touchedly.

He reacted instantly and slapped Chang Lei's hand away.

"Why are you mourning? My sister is not dead!"
