Magical Girl's Knight Brother

During those days of hiding his identity and saving the world, Tang Zijun would encounter all kinds of powerful enemies and get hurt.

Although scars are a man's medal, that's just saying.

If I had returned home and lifted my clothes to my parents, saying: Look, this is the 'proof of strength' that your son has just obtained, I would probably have been faced with a mixed doubles match right away.

It was because of this that Tang Zijun began to learn some first aid knowledge from the Internet. It was also from that time that Tang Zijun's goal changed from killing the enemy to trying not to get hurt.

Seeing that Qin Nan had a medical kit at home and had been living alone for such a long time, Tang Zijun felt mixed emotions.

I guess this girl is the same as him, the kind who endures silently in the middle of the night.

Holding a sanitary napkin with tweezers and dipped in some alcohol, Tang Zijun carefully wiped the wound on Qin Nan's shoulder.

"Don't worry, it's just a scratch from the transformation. The bone is fine and it will heal in a few days."

Hey, don’t magical girls have the concept of transforming into an invincible frame?

"Thank you"

Qin Nan was a little afraid to look at Tang Zijun.

It was her first time to have such close contact with the opposite sex.

If it were someone else, Qin Nan would have punched him long ago, but for some reason, she couldn't move a finger at this moment, and could only observe the other person secretly with her peripheral vision.

Opposite her, Tang Zijun didn't pay too much attention to Qin Nan's expression. His main attention was now focused on the strange situation just now.

"Are we really back?"

Xiao Hui stood beside his little nest (it was called a nest, but it was actually just a random build made by Qin Nan using cardboard boxes), looking a little frightened.

"Ah," Tang Zijun replied. "It seems so. After that guy was killed, that special 'phenomenon' disappeared."

Vision is the general term that Tang Zijun gave to the destructive events in reality caused by greedy people in his early years. When those supernatural beings are active in reality, they often cause things that are difficult to explain by science, and these are visions.

At that time, Tang Zijun did not know the existence of the inner world and the outer world. In his eyes, a considerable number of missing cases and supernatural events were caused by greedy people.

This time, everyone was inexplicably pulled into another dimension without anyone noticing, which was obviously part of the vision.

Tang Zijun frowned slightly and asked Xiao Hui, "Didn't you feel anything wrong just now?"

"You, you didn't feel anything. How could I have noticed anything was wrong?" Xiao Hui shrank back. "If you hadn't helped me earlier, I would have died."

"Now you believe that I am on your side?" Tang Zijun smiled calmly.

"You heard it all." Little Gray shuddered and wished he could swing his wings and slap himself in the face.

Why can't I control my mouth?

At this time, Qin Nan slowly calmed down and came to her senses. She also felt that the experience just now was a bit incredible.

"Tang Zijun, what on earth was that just now?"

"I do not know either."

Tang Zijun shook his head slightly, his expression becoming much more serious.

"This method of pulling people into other dimensions seems like something that can be done in the surface world. However, there are prerequisites for entering the surface world. And looking at the surrounding environment, it doesn't seem like it's parasitized by the surface world."

"It can't be the surface world. If this thing is related to the ruler, I would definitely sense it in advance." Qin Nan couldn't help but say, and Xiao Hui nodded repeatedly.

Tang Zijun adjusted his glasses. "I don't think it's the surface world either. The passage to the reverse world is blocked. This isn't something the surface world can do."

After hearing this, Qin Nan and Xiao Hui's expressions changed significantly.

They didn't know much about the reversed world, but they knew something about it. Unlike the inner and outer worlds, the reversed world was a particularly strange place.

Although he had not understood the rules of the reversed world, it could be heard from the meaning of Tang Zijun's words that the other party had obviously entered the surface world through the reversed world.

The rules of that dimension that could block the passage to the reversed world were beyond Qin Nan and Xiao Hui's understanding.

"Is that thing really gone?" Xiao Hui was still in shock from what happened a few minutes ago. What he was most worried about now was that the strange thing would come back again.

Perhaps Tang Zijun had killed the monster, but no one could guarantee that there was only one monster. If it was targeted, he and Qin Nan would definitely not be able to defeat it without Tang Zijun's help.

And that strange place can even block the passage to the reversed world. If they are pulled in again, they will have nowhere to escape.

Tang Zijun also noticed Xiao Hui's fear and spoke to comfort him. "Don't worry, that thing isn't coming for you."

After the words fell, Qin Nan and Xiao Hui were stunned.

"You mean it's not coming for us?"

Looking at the calm and composed Tang Zijun in shock, Xiao Hui already had some guesses in his mind, but this guess was a little hard for him to accept.

"That thing's attack was directed at me from beginning to end. I can be sure of that." Tang Zijun said casually.

Tang Zijun noticed it when the strange giant monster attacked for the first time. He and Xiao Hui were very close at that time, and that punch was obviously aimed at him. Qin Nan's injury was completely unprovoked.

"But why is this happening? What is the other party's purpose?" Qin Nan frowned and asked in confusion.

"Yes, why?" Tang Zijun pondered for a moment, then looked up and said, "Think about what we were talking about before that monster attacked."

"What are you talking about?" Qin Nan thought for a moment. "Aren't you and Xiao Hui discussing the matter of the spirit beast next to your sister?"

As she spoke, Qin Nan's voice gradually weakened because she had already seen Xiao Hui's extremely frightened expression.

Thinking back to what Xiao Hui and Tang Zijun had said before, Qin Nan's pupils shrank.

"you mean!"

"Shh-"

Tang Zijun placed his index finger to his lips and shook his head slowly.

"It's good that you know this, but don't tell anyone. The origin of that thing is unknown, and it's extremely dangerous to you. Before I figure this out, don't mention it again."

Seeing Tang Zijun's serious expression, which showed no sign of joking at all, Qin Nan nodded in a daze.

But she soon regained her composure.

"What about you?"

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Tang Zijun smiled gently, then wrapped Qin Nan's wound with gauze.

"Don't worry about this matter. The only thing you need to worry about now is thinking carefully about how to teach Tang Cao's first class."

"As for that unknown dimension and the monsters I've never seen before, I have my own way."

Chapter 64: What I Saw at the Sanatorium

The sun is rising.

Golden light gently fell from the clouds and gently landed on the white building below.

This is one of the largest nursing homes in the remote suburbs of Licheng, and it is also a place dedicated to professional care for the elderly.

The roof shone with warm colors under the sunlight, making the white walls look exceptionally clean.

The green lawn, after a night of silence, is now bathed in sunshine, emitting the fresh fragrance of soil and grass.

On the bench beside the path, an old woman sat quietly. Next to her stood a well-proportioned middle-aged man, who was carefully cleaning a wheelchair.

Footsteps sounded softly on the cobblestone path.

The middle-aged man heard the voice and turned to look. "Nurse Liu, good morning."

"Good morning." The woman, known as Nurse Liu, smiled. "I saw your mother's room was empty, so I knew it must be you."

"Hey." The middle-aged man smiled innocently. "The sun is shining brightly today, so I thought I'd take my mom out to bask in the sun."

"These days, there aren't many children like you," nurse Liu sighed. "Most elderly people's children are busy and only come a few times a year. You're the only one who comes every week, rain or shine."

As if realizing that he had said something wrong, Nurse Liu quickly waved his hand.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Your mother is doing well. I just came here to remind you not to forget to give her the medicine."

"I had already eaten before coming out." The man answered seriously.

"That's good. It's good to take the elderly out for some sunshine. But don't expose them to the wind all the time. There will be regular health monitoring later. Don't forget to bring your mother over."

"Oh, I remember it." The man nodded.

Seeing this, nurse Liu did not stay long. After saying goodbye, she quickly walked towards the building not far away. She was also responsible for notifying other elderly people.

After watching Nurse Liu leave, the man withdrew his gaze and returned his attention to the old lady who was lying motionless on the bench.

From the time that nurse Liu appeared to the time he left, the old man remained motionless, and even his eyes did not change at all.

"Mom, after the health checkup is over, I'll take you to listen to some music."

The man spoke softly, but the old man still didn't respond.

The man was already used to this scene. He just sighed softly, but soon smiled again and continued to wipe the wheelchair with wet wipes.

In the distance, the branches of the trees swayed gently, making a rustling sound, and unknown birds were singing on the branches, their voices clear and pleasant.

After an unknown amount of time, footsteps were heard again from behind the man.

This time the footsteps were a bit heavy, and the pace was neither fast nor slow. They came from far away and slowly stopped not far behind the man.

The man thought that Nurse Liu had forgotten to say something, so he quickly stood up.

"Nurse Liu, do you have anything else to say?"

But when he saw the handsome man standing behind him, he swallowed back the words he had already said.

In front of the man, Tang Zijun stood expressionless, exuding a hint of pressure, her cold eyes full of scrutiny.

Being stared at by such eyes, the middle-aged man felt as if he was falling into an icy cave.

The early morning sun could not dispel the chill at all, and his hand holding the wet wipes was a little stiff.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Tang Zijun spoke, his tone was somewhat flat, making it difficult to judge his emotions at the moment.

Hearing this, the expression on the middle-aged man's face became a little unnatural. Although he looked at least two times older than Tang Zijun, he felt extremely embarrassed at this moment.

".Heh, it's been a long time indeed."

The man placed the wet wipes on the wheelchair and gave a bitter smile.

"I knew this day would eventually come. I've had this feeling since the day the Reversed World fell. I just didn't expect you to..."

"What?" Tang Zijun raised his eyebrows.

"You're seven years late." The man replied calmly.

Afterwards, the middle-aged man seemed to have figured it out. He straightened up slightly, looked at Tang Zijun calmly, and prepared to face death.

"Let's do it."

“I deserve this.”

Looking at the middle-aged man's calm face as he faced death, Tang Zijun could tell that he was actually very nervous.

He didn't want to die, but he had no other choice.

This feeling doesn't seem like letting go of everything, but more like giving up resisting one's fate due to the reality that one has no choice.

After a moment of silence, the coldness in Tang Zijun's eyes eased a little.

"You think I'm here to kill you?"

"Isn't it?" the man asked.

He was still tense, his face expressionless.

"I'm not a bloodthirsty person. If I really wanted to kill you, you wouldn't be alive today," Tang Zijun said. "Plus, you've been pretty honest these past few years. I have no reason to kill you."

Hearing Tang Zijun's words, the middle-aged man was slightly stunned, as if he couldn't believe that the other party would let him go so easily.

However, seeing that the other party did not seem to be trying to deceive him, the middle-aged man also bravely asked. "So why are you here this time?"

"I've been having some issues lately and I don't have a clue what to do, so I'd like to see if you can provide me with some useful information."

Tang Zijun did not hide anything, nor did he intend to keep anyone in suspense. He looked at the middle-aged man and spoke softly.

"That's it."

The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a lot, but when he looked at the young man opposite him, he was still a little bit unbelievable.

"Is there anything in this world that leaves you clueless?"
