Magical Girl's Knight Brother

"I want to know too," Tang Zijun spread his hands.

"I was staying at home peacefully before, but I was inexplicably pulled into another dimension. It's very strange there, even out of reach of the reversed world."

Gently returning the ruby to Tang Zijun, Chang Lei's expression was a little strange. "There's absolutely no way you were pulled in for no apparent reason."

Tang Zijun raised his eyebrows. "Do you know the identity of this thing?"

"Dream Stone, have you heard of it?" Chang Lei pondered for a moment, and suddenly uttered a word.

Tang Zijun shook his head in confusion.

He did remember that when his sister played MapleStory, there was a strengthening material called Dream Stone, but it probably had nothing to do with the thing in front of him.

Seeing this, Chang Lei scratched his remaining hair, then leaned forward and asked.

"You are now considered the true master of the reversed world. It's not an exaggeration to say that you are the god of the mirror plane. So, I want to know how much you know about the real world and the reversed world?"

"I"

Tang Zijun opened his mouth. He originally wanted to express his own views, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to put it.

I have been retired for such a long time, and I used to use the reversed world as a copy. I didn't really study the relationship between the two worlds at that time.

Noticing Tang Zijun's expression, Chang Lei couldn't help but chuckle.

At the same time, he was a little speechless. How could such a powerful Galaxy Battleship of the Greedy be overturned by this reckless young man in the end?

"I guess you haven't really understood it, otherwise you wouldn't be unaware of the existence of the surface world and the inner world."

Chang Lei picked up the teapot and placed it in the middle of the table.

"This is the real world, the 'material world' humans live in. Whether it's the inner world or the reverse world, they are all based on the real world."

As he spoke, Chang Lei took out a few empty teacups and placed them in a circle around the teapot.

"These teacups you see, like those small worlds, all exist around the real world. You're already familiar with the reversed world, so you should also understand that different small worlds have their own rules."

"Mirror reflection." Tang Zijun nodded.

"Yes, in the rules of the reversed world, there is no unit of measurement for distance. A thousand miles is just one step away."

"Any mirror that reflects light is a traversable tunnel."

Chang Lei paused and continued.

"And the reason the Greedy Ones were able to invade the real world before was because they relied on the mirror that connected to reality."

"However, except for the Greedy Ones born in the Mirror Plane, no one can open this channel—except you."

Tang Zijun felt as if he had finally understood. "In other words, the channels in the reversed world are based on the real world, which is why they can connect to each other."

"And if it's another small world, the Reversed World won't be able to pass through, because the rules of each small world are different, right?"

"Who said that?"

Chang Lei blinked, then shook his head helplessly.

"It seems you still don't know anything about the relationship between different planes. Forget it, let me explain it to you."

The third round starts today, and the critical moment has come!

Everyone must read it every day!

Fuck him!

Chapter 67 Dream World

"This world isn't as simple as you think. It's my fault for not explaining it clearly to you at the beginning. After all, the relationship between planes is difficult to explain using scientific theories from the material world."

"Of course, you probably won't understand if I use unscientific language."

Chang Lei pondered how to explain this clearly. After considering the words, he continued speaking.

"You can think of it this way: on a horizontal line, the center is where the real world is, and it's also its anchor point. Below the horizontal line, there are many realms of deep space, commonly known as 'small worlds.'"

"The surface world and the inner world you know about are both planes hidden below the horizon. They are also realms that are difficult for beings in the material world to reach."

"Is the reversed world also included?" Tang Zijun listened carefully, and he even brought out the attitude he had when he was in school.

"No, the mirror plane is a special case. Unlike the inner world and the outer world, the mirror plane exists in the same location as the real world but at a different anchor point."

Chang Lei put his hands together and clenched them into a ball as he explained.

"Like braiding a hair, the real world and the reversed world are intertwined and connected to each other, but without special abilities, they remain invisible to each other."

"Is it similar to a parallel world?" Tang Zijun asked curiously.

"I've said before that the scientific theories of the material world are difficult to explain these things. All you need to know is that the reversed world and the real world are on the same level, and below them is the surface world, and below that is the inner world."

"I understand this. The surface world is a buffer zone between the real world and the inner world." Tang Zijun remembered that Xiaobai had mentioned this.

"That's right. These worlds were originally void. Even if relative laws were born, no life could survive in such an environment. The real power that allowed these small worlds to form a group came from—"

"Emotion." Tang Zijun already knew what Chang Lei wanted to say.

"This is it."

Chang Lei nodded heavily.

"Although I'm not quite sure where they originated from, what is certain is that all of this weirdness is a reflection of human emotions in the real world."

"Whether they are heretics or rulers, they are all incorporeal beings, even us greedy ones."

"The only difference is that the Greedy Ones are more closely connected to reality. Unlike those incorporeal things, we have afterimages."

Listening to Chang Lei's explanation, Tang Zijun pushed his glasses thoughtfully.

It was indeed as Chang Lei said, the feeling of fighting the Outer Demon was really different from when he fought the Greedy One.

"And when these evil thoughts gain their own consciousness, they will gain certain special supernatural powers based on the plane they are in. But you should understand that just like fish cannot live without water, these consciousnesses cannot live without the negative energy of the real world."

"Humanity's negative emotions give them life. Similarly, this special pheromone is the energy they rely on for survival. This is also the main reason why the real world is being invaded."

Tang Zijun had more or less some understanding of these things back then.

He was not the kind of person who didn't do any homework, but at that time he thought that the only enemy was the mirror plane.

"Just like there's a surface world between the inner world and the real world as a buffer zone, since the reversed world's position on the same horizontal line as the real world, when the inner world and the surface world invade reality, they will inevitably intersect with the reversed world to a certain extent."

"This intersection makes the Reversed World a special existence similar to a central hub."

"In other words, any plane whose horizontal line is lower than the reverse world can open a corresponding channel through the reverse world as long as the mirror is used as a medium."

At this point, Chang Lei's mouth felt a little dry, so he picked up his cup and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

Tang Zijun, who was sitting opposite him, fell silent. His brain was working rapidly, constantly digesting the complicated information.

No wonder Xiaobai was so frightened and didn't know how to enter the surface world. He just followed his sister's breath and quickly opened the corresponding passage.

Now it seems that it is because the level or position on the horizontal line of the reverse world is higher than that of the surface world, so he can come and go freely and even pull the ruler out of the surface world.

According to this argument, the greedy people in the reversed world should theoretically be able to enter the inner world at any time.

As if he had seen through Tang Zijun's thoughts, Chang Lei spoke.

"The laws of the reversed world are much more powerful than you can imagine, but since they are laws, we must act strictly in accordance with them."

"The other world is desolate. I heard it's utterly silent. Even the lake water is as dark as ink, like a black hole, unable to reflect any light. So, without a medium, we naturally can't go there."

"As for the surface world, it's even more of a dead place. Most of the surface worlds are empty, so there's no need to occupy them. So we usually come directly to the real world to choose our prey."

"I see." Tang Zijun was now certain that he could say goodbye to his previous idle life.

I thought I could rest after wiping out the greedy people in the mirror plane, but now it seems that the "wonderfulness" of this world is far beyond my imagination.

However, thinking of this, the doubts that had been temporarily suppressed before reappeared in Tang Zijun's mind.

"Then since the reverse world can establish channels with so many planes, why is the channel to the reverse world blocked after I was pulled into that dimension?"

"This question." Chang Lei looked at Tang Zijun and raised his glass. "Don't you already have the answer in your heart?"

Tang Zijun couldn't help but laugh at this.

"Sure enough, that's a world above the horizon?"

"The Dream Stone can only be found in one place, the 'Dream World'. However, that place is so strange that even in the history of the Greedy, it is only a legendary existence."

"Unlike other small worlds, the laws of the dream world are more distorted and unstable. Even that world is not complete, but is made up of dreams."

"Different dreams piled up and overlapped with each other, forming an ethereal plane above reality, like a mirage, changeable and chaotic."

After a pause, Chang Lei frowned deeply again, looking at Tang Zijun with uncertain eyes.

"Wolf Rider, how on earth did you end up provoking those guys?"

Chapter 68 Mystery

Tang Zijun's mind was also in a mess. He thought to himself that he didn't do anything. Wasn't it the other party who started it first?

However, even though he complained in his heart, Tang Zijun knew very well that the key point that really attracted the attention of the dream world was most likely his stupid cat.

Xiaobai's enlightenment process is full of mysteries.

Whether it was the inexplicable loss of memory or the monsters as huge as mountains and rivers in the dream, this could not be a normal thing no matter how you think about it. And judging from the previous encounters, the existence of the dream world seemed to have been paying attention to Xiaobai.

Qin Nan and Xiao Hui's guess might be correct.

When Xiaobai was awakening his spiritual intelligence, due to some special reasons, some kind of existence did intervene and interfered with the process of enlightenment, and even forcibly erased some of Xiaobai's key memories.

And this "existence" should be something that was born in the dream world, and only the guys in the dream world have the ability to interfere with this dream-based memory transmission.

Then the problem is coming.

There should be a lot of magical girls in this world, and there must be no shortage of spiritual beasts. Based on this, why did they only target Xiaobai?

What is the purpose of the other party?

In other words, what is the difference between Xiaobai and other spiritual beasts?

Tang Zijun clenched his left fist and placed it to his mouth, biting his thumb nail while thinking about the problem that was troubling him.

This was a habit he had developed before he traveled through time. Whenever he encountered a problem he couldn't figure out (such as an exam), he would make this move.

Seeing that Tang Zijun didn't speak for a long time, Chang Lei slowly shook his head.

"Although I don't know what exactly happened, being involved in the dream world is definitely not a good thing. It used to be a field that many senior officials avoided."

"Perhaps your fighting ability is no longer what it used to be, but when facing those guys, I suggest you be more careful. The things in the dream world are not comparable to those of the outer demons."

"How strong are those guys?" Tang Zijun asked.

When fighting with the unknown giant monster before, Tang Zijun felt that the opponent's level should be between low-level and high-level cadres, but after all, it was his first time to come into contact with the dream world, and he could not judge the opponent's power system.

When Chang Lei heard Tang Zijun's question, he just spread his hands.

"I do not know."

"Honestly, if you hadn't suddenly come to my door today, I would have almost forgotten about the dream world."

"Those guys haven't been active in the real world for a long time. It's no exaggeration to say they're mythical. In the early days, quite a few of the Greedy Ones didn't even believe the dream world existed."

Tang Zijun frowned and remained silent.

He also understood that although this world was very similar to the blue planet in his memory, the strange existence hidden in the darkness was more complicated than he had imagined.

This time, Tang Zijun came to see Chang Lei with the idea of giving it a try. He didn't have much hope at first, but he was surprised that the topic could reach this point.

This conversation did yield some results. At least what Chang Lei, the former senior official of the Greedy Ones, revealed was much more important than the information provided by Xiao Hui and the others.

In fact, Tang Zijun also felt a little regretful. Why didn't he think of asking more questions when he kicked the Mirror-Eating God of Greed?

That guy was born nearly a thousand years ago and has killed more people than Chang Lei has ever seen. How could he know something about the secrets behind reality?

Pity.

With a slight sigh, Tang Zijun put the teacup back on the plate and stood up from the stone chair.

Noticing Tang Zijun standing up, Chang Lei's expression also changed. He quickly stood up as well, his eyes looking at Tang Zijun's waist without leaving a trace.

Tang Zijun didn't think too much about it. He just walked silently to the edge of the pavilion and looked at the lake in front of him calmly.

Chang Lei was a little unsure of what Tang Zijun meant, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

Just as he was stunned, he suddenly felt something flying towards him. He subconsciously raised his hand to catch it, and the familiar energy immediately poured into his palm.
