Magical Girl's Knight Brother

There seemed to be a fog at the end of the corridor, making it impossible to see the road ahead.

Daxin could only run along the route he remembered. The carpet under his feet became softer and softer, as if he was stepping on the hair of some creature.

There were tightly closed doors on both sides of the corridor, and the door handles were rusty and looked like they had long been unusable.

In the silence, the only sounds I could hear were my own breathing and footsteps. The sounds echoed in the narrow space, making me shudder with fear.

"Don't run away, this place is not right."

Hearing Tang Cao's voice, Daxin couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

Nonsense, sister! Are you only realizing something is wrong now?

Originally, Daxin thought that what happened to him was a joke played by the staff. After all, he was a small internet celebrity, so it was normal for them to play a trick on him secretly.

Maybe once I get scared and create some show effects, those people will come out with cameras.

But what he never expected was that this place was actually haunted!

He could swear that the weird wax figure of the waiter had definitely moved. It had come up to him on its own initiative and was secretly following him!

Daxin didn't dare to stop. He didn't even dare to look closely at the paintings on the walls on both sides. The characters in those pictures had distorted expressions, and seemed to be observing him intentionally or unintentionally.

The noisy sounds behind him were getting farther and farther away, and Daxin's physical strength was rapidly depleting. He slowed down his pace, out of breath.

"Huchi. Huchi"

Holding on to the wall, Daxin couldn't stop shaking the hand holding Tang Cao's.

If it were in the past, he would have been very happy to have physical contact with such a beautiful girl.

But now, he didn't have any such thoughts at all, he just wanted to get out of this broken place as soon as possible.

"This place is so scary, what the hell is going on?"

Cursing under his breath, Daxin turned around with lingering fear, only to find that the corridor behind him was pitch black and he couldn't see too far away.

"It seems that we are no longer in the corridor we were in before. Otherwise, we would have returned to the hall we were in before."

Patting his chest, Daxin turned to look at Tang Cao.

"I'm telling you, this place is definitely haunted, XX. When I get out, I'm definitely going to expose this place!"

"You can't expose this place." Tang Cao couldn't help but say.

“Why not expose it?”

Daxin continued speaking, breathing heavily, as if he had heard something funny.

"How surprising! This place is haunted, little sister! It's not like you didn't see it just now. If I hadn't pulled you away quickly, we would both have died there, believe it or not."

As he spoke, Daxin suddenly caught a glimpse of the wall opposite him from the corner of his eye.

There, there is a retro oval hanging mirror.

"I believe."

At this time, Tang Cao spoke.

But Daxin's expression froze.

From his perspective, the mirror was just big enough to reflect both of their bodies. He could even see his own face distorted by fear.

However, Tang Cao, who was sitting opposite him, turned into a rotten mummy in the reflection of the mirror.

Daxin seemed to be frozen at this moment, and his breathing stopped.

His eyes moved with difficulty, and then he saw clearly that the person he had been pulling was a strange woman wearing the same school uniform as Tang Cao.

The other person had no eyeballs at all, and there were only two black holes on his shriveled face.

And I am still holding the other person's hand.

"I believe you."

The woman spoke again.

The voice was exactly the same as Karakusa's, but Daxin didn't see any movement of the other's mouth.

Pfft!

Daxin straightened his body and fell to the floor with a thud.

The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was heard, and the corridor fell into silence again.

The woman stared with her hollow eyes, calmly looking at Daxin who had completely lost consciousness.

Then she leaned forward slightly, her dry mouth slowly opened, and a faint inhalation sound came out.

As she moved, wisps of green smoke emanated from Daxin's seven orifices.

A hint of satisfaction appeared on the pale and withered face of the decayed woman.

The whole body is about to lie on the other person's body.

But what she didn't notice was.

Right behind her is the oval vintage mirror.

A figure appeared out of nowhere, staring at her with curiosity.

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 Tangcao's reaction, Xiaobai smiled and nodded. "Not bad, he's quite alert. That alone makes him much better than the other newcomers."

After a pause, Xiaobai 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.
