Magical Girl's Knight Brother

As he spoke, the man added another sentence.

"If you have any questions, just ask directly. I will tell you everything I know. Our time is over anyway."

Tang Zijun nodded, and was quite satisfied with the man's attitude.

However, he did not ask directly. Instead, he turned his head to look at the old man on the bench and spoke.

"This isn't the right place to talk about this. Let's find a place to talk."

Noticing Tang Zijun's gaze, the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Okay, then I'll take my mother home first. She has a health checkup this morning."

"Let me help you." Tang Zijun took two steps forward and held the wheelchair next to the man.

When the middle-aged man first saw Tang Zijun approaching him, he was subconsciously a little panicked.

However, seeing that the other party was really helping him, his anxious heart eased.

He gently carried his mother to the wheelchair. During the whole process, the old woman did not react at all.

"What are the symptoms?" Tang Zijun asked.

"Alzheimer's disease, at first I just forgot who I was, then it slowly developed into this."

The man explained slowly.

After a pause, he turned his head and looked at Tang Zijun.

"You, are you really not here to kill me?"

Chapter 65: Harks the Deceiver

“If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes.”

"I can't believe you can do this."

The lake is like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds.

In the center of the artificial lake, a pavilion stood quietly in the water. Between the pavilion pillars, Tang Zijun and the middle-aged man sat face to face on stone chairs.

"I think even other greedy people would find it hard to imagine that you, as a senior official, would choose to retreat at the most critical moment."

Gently picking up the teacup in front of her, Tang Zijun raised her eyebrows and looked at the man in front of her.

"Should I call you a fraud, or Mr. Hoaxer?"

Seeing Tang Zijun's half-smile, the middle-aged man shook his head with a complicated expression, and then patted his fat belly.

"Just call me Chang Lei. Fraudsters and such are history now."

"You can't say that. Your methods troubled me for a long time back then," Tang Zijun said, hinting at something. "That ability, powerful enough to distort the five senses, could even fool Langya."

Hearing this, Chang Lei did not respond immediately, but picked up the teapot and poured tea for Tang Zijun.

Then he spoke slowly. "But even if I had that kind of power, wouldn't I still be unable to heal my mother?"

A breeze blew by, and the wind chimes hanging at the corner of the pavilion made crisp sounds, echoing on the empty lake.

Tang Zijun looked directly at Chang Lei in front of him and raised his hand to adjust his glasses.

To be honest, Tang Zijun was a little hesitant to recognize Chang Lei in front of him.

If it weren't for the lingering aura of the Greedy Man on him, who would have imagined that this middle-aged man with a slightly balding head was once a high-ranking official of the Greedy Man?

The man who used to wear a slim tuxedo, always had a smile on his face, and could make himself spin around like a headless fly with a wave of his hand, has now fallen to this point.

It’s a bit sad to think about it.

"I never regret the decisions I made, Wolf Rider."

“Sometimes the person who knows you best may not be your friend, but may be your enemy.”

“I understand this a little bit now.”

Chang Lei held the teacup in both hands, lowered his head and looked quietly at his reflection in the teacup, and said calmly.

"I know what I've done in the past, so even if you kill me here today, I'll accept it."

"but."

"I only hope that before I die, you can let me see my daughter, even if it's just from a distance."

Looking at Chang Lei, Tang Zijun sighed and asked, "Do you really treat Luan Luan as your own daughter?"

"She is my daughter!" Chang Lei suddenly raised his head and answered in a firm tone.

However, after meeting Tang Zijun's gaze, he still dodged a little when their eyes made contact, and then lowered his head.

"You know, I was born out of Chang Lei's delusion."

"Although we have since embarked on different paths, we share common memories. His mother is my mother, and Luanluan is naturally my daughter."

Seeing his decadent look, Tang Zijun didn't know what to say.

Tang Zijun didn't know much about Hakes' affairs.

He only knew that this guy was a very powerful greedy person, and was one of the top senior cadres.

But suddenly one day, this guy deceived himself with fraudulent tricks and disappeared from the real world from then on.

Tang Zijun originally thought that the other party would not be able to suppress his delusions and hurt innocent people, but until the greedy people were completely destroyed by him, this guy never showed up, as if he had completely disappeared.

The reason why Tang Zijun knew the current whereabouts of the fraudster Hakes was after he completely controlled the reversed world.

Originally, adhering to the idea of wiping out the roots, Tang Zijun had no intention of letting this guy go. After all, being kind to the enemy is being cruel to oneself.

But when he looked at Hakes from afar, who was accompanying a little girl at the bedside, full of worry but pretending to be calm and encouraging her, Tang Zijun still hesitated.

Later, through his investigation, Tang Zijun discovered that the high-ranking fraudster Mr. Hawkes had replaced his original "self" and was living in the real world with Chang Lei's identity, accompanying Chang Lei's seriously ill daughter.

As for the original Chang Lei, no one knew where he went.

Tang Zijun also once suspected whether Hawks had killed Chang Lei personally and replaced him in order to avoid his pursuit.

Because at that point in time, the battle between him and the Greedy One had already reached its late stage.

Almost all the greedy people were in a state of cleaning their necks and waiting for others to come to them, and the fraudster Hakes was no exception.

If Hawks really has this idea, then with this guy's methods, no one in the world can find Chang Lei's whereabouts except him.

But the aura of a greedy person who kills his own counterpart is completely different from that of an ordinary greedy person.

Tang Zijun didn't know what had happened, but he was sure that Chang Lei's death had no direct or indirect relationship with Hawks.

Slowly gathering his scattered thoughts, Tang Zijun gently shook his head.

"I told you, my purpose in coming here this time is not to kill you."

Hearing this, Chang Lei raised his head. "What do you want to know?"

Tang Zijun had a lot of questions he wanted to ask, but he decided to start with the simplest topic.

"Have you ever heard of magical girls?"

"Magical girl?"

There was a subtle change in Chang Lei's eyes.

"I've heard of it, but I've never fought against it. Since you appeared, the number of times the Greedy Ones have been able to break through the Reversed World from the Mirror Plane and enter reality has been limited, and most of them can't come back alive."

"In other words, before I appeared, you and those magical girls were the real opponents." Tang Zijun picked up the teacup.

"You can say that, but I was born relatively late. When I condensed into a physical body, you were already the main enemy of the Greedy One, so I don't have much impression of magical girls." Chang Lei explained.

"Where are the heretic demons from that world?" Tang Zijun asked calmly, fingers clasped together.

When Chang Lei heard this name, his expression was obviously a little strange.

"Are you facing them now?"

"Well, I guess so."

Tang Zijun coughed dryly, and without dwelling on this question for long, continued speaking.

"So you knew about the existence of the inner world and the outer demons before."

"Know part of it."

Chang Lei picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and nodded.

"I've heard from other senior officials before that we and the Outer Path Demons are each doing our own thing, and our relationship is one of keeping to ourselves."

"Of course, that was before you showed up."

"What happens after I show up?"

"The well has run dry."

Chapter 66 Dream Stone

Sure enough, even in the camp of the greedy, they knew about the existence of the inner world and the outer demons.

"Strictly speaking, we are not the same kind as the Outer Path Demons. In fact, in a sense, we are enemies."

"Greedy ones are born from despair, deception, and unspeakable secrets, while heretics are born from bloodlust and tyranny."

"We gained life based on the delusions of our real-world counterparts. Although we are cruel by nature, we at least retain a trace of humanity. And those guys..."

Speaking of this, Chang Lei couldn't help but reveal a hint of sarcasm.

"Those guys are just a bunch of lunatics, madmen without any sense of beauty. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to even describe them as stupid."

I didn't expect Chang Lei to have such a bad evaluation of the external demons.

However, thinking back on what happened during this period, that group of heretic demons were indeed just as Chang Lei said, guys who did things without considering the consequences.

The way greedy people harm others mainly focuses on intimidation and mental pressure on the victims. Once they target someone, they will use all their tricks to torture the other person until the other person dies cruelly.

On the other hand, let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the alien beast egg. If the alien beast egg successfully hatched and ran onto the street, Tang Zijun couldn’t imagine how many people would die.

One is a targeted assassination, and the other is a weapon of large-scale destruction. It goes without saying which one causes greater damage to the real world.

Of course, the crow has landed on the pig's back. Neither of the two sides is a good thing. Now that the greedy one has been wiped out, I have to pay attention to the heretic demon.

It would have been fine if he didn't know before, but now that he knows the existence of those guys, Tang Zijun will naturally not let them go.

Chang Lei noticed Tang Zijun's expression and couldn't help but speak.

"Seriously, Wolf Rider, did you come here suddenly just to ask this?"

"Could it be that you were completely unaware of the existence of the Outer Path Demons and just stared at us?"

"."

Looking at Chang Lei's slightly surprised expression, Tang Zijun raised his cup and took a sip of tea to hide his embarrassment.

After fighting the Greedy One for such a long time, he actually didn't even know that there were other evil forces in the real world.

It’s all the fault of those greedy people, they keep their mouths shut.

In other words, Chang Lei couldn't hear what Tang Zijun was thinking now, otherwise he would definitely spit out a mouthful of blood - you didn't ask!

Slowly placing the teacup on the table, Tang Zijun did not intend to delve into the topic of the heretic demon, but took out a blood-red gem from his pocket.

"Let's put the matter of the Outer Path Demon aside for now. The main reason I came to you this time is this. Take a look, have you seen this thing before?"

Seeing Tang Zijun's serious expression, Chang Lei also became more serious. He stretched out his hands and solemnly took the red gem which was only the size of a fingernail.

The gem is an irregular oval shape and looks like a ruby, but there are no signs of polishing on the surface, it looks completely natural.

Carefully observing the ruby in his hand, wisps of green smoke suddenly emanated from Chang Lei's palm. That was the original energy of him as a greedy person.

Tang Zijun didn't say anything to disturb him, but just looked at Chang Lei quietly.

As the original power of the greedy man emerged, the strange ruby also responded.

I saw a faint fluorescence suddenly flashing in the center of the ruby. Although it was daytime, the light was still very conspicuous.

When the red light came into contact with the green smoke, they instantly began to collide violently with each other, but the impact was not too great, only the surface space was slightly distorted.

The original power controlled by Chang Lei shrank back as if it was electrocuted the moment it touched the light.

Chang Lei's expression also changed.

"Where did you get this thing?!"
