Magical Girl's Knight Brother

The card at the fingertips turned into a stream of light in the blink of an eye, gathering on Tang Zijun's palm, forming a shotgun full of metallic feel.

He raised the muzzle of the gun, without giving those ghosts any time to react, and with a crisp roar, the sharp bullets exploded.

The Mechanical Outer Demon was so scared that he used his still movable arm to block his eyes, but he soon realized that the opponent's attack was not aimed at him.

Bang bang bang! !

The underworld people couldn't even scream, and instantly turned into black mist all over the sky.

Tang Zijun's figure gradually approached, blocking the bizarre light and shadow.

For some reason, the Mechanical Outer Demon actually felt a sense of suffocation.

"Tell me, what are you planning?"

"."

The mechanical heretic demon was stunned, as if it had been shut down by Tang Zijun's previous shot.

"Greedy, are you preparing to go to war with the other world?!"

Then, the indicator light on his forehead suddenly flashed, and his tone became a little unbelievable.

"No, that's not right. You are not a greedy person! What on earth are you?"

Tang Zijun's figure stopped in front of the Mechanical Outer Demon. The tall figure almost occupied all of his vision, and a terrifying aura enveloped him.

"To be honest, I don't have much time today, so you'd better not waste it. Be honest and tell me everything you want to know. I can give you a quick answer."

As he spoke, Tang Zijun placed the muzzle of his gun against the dark crystal in the Mechanical Outer Demon's left eye.

"Tell me, what methods did you use to study those strange beasts that can appear in the sunlight?"

The Mechanical Heretic Demon's thoughts were a little confused, as if the mechanical program in his head had malfunctioned.

Staring blankly at Tang Zijun in front of him, he pondered for a moment before asking back in a strange tone.

"What kind of strange beast can appear in the sunlight?"

Chapter 97 A huge conspiracy

Tang Zijun frowned slightly and turned to look at Chang Lei.

Then he turned his gaze to the constantly flashing signal light of the mechanical demon.

"You do not know?"

"Know what?" Sparks flew from the cross-section of the Mechanical Demon's wires. "I don't understand what you're talking about. What strange beast appearing in the sunlight? How can such a thing even exist?!"

According to the information obtained, the sunlight in the real world has a strong purifying effect on all beings in the shadows. Those light particles are like poison to them, and ordinary beings cannot withstand that kind of damage at all.

This is basic logic whether in the evil forces or in the circle of magical girls, so after Tang Zijun asked the question, the Mechanical Outer Demon seemed to have heard some fairy tale.

Tang Zijun's eyes were a little gloomy. He could tell that the mechanical heretic demon in front of him had no intention of deceiving him. He really knew nothing about it.

"Why did you attack my people?" After a pause, Tang Zijun asked again.

"To your people."

The Mechanical Heretic Demon hesitated for a moment and then quickly realized that the strange guy in front of him was probably referring to the Greedy Man behind him.

"Weren't you the first to attack us? He's filled with the aura of the alien beast egg and the residual energy of the broken dark crystal. You attacked our alien beast egg for no reason. Are you planning to bite us back?!"

Sure enough, the reason why this heretic demon targeted Chang Lei was because he sensed the aura of the alien beast's egg on Chang Lei.

Those beast eggs were made by the heretic demons, and it's not an exaggeration to say they are their own "weapons". Chang Lei is now missing most of his original power, so it's not surprising that he can't conceal this energy, not to mention that he is still trying to dissect the beast eggs.

However, the heretic demon in front of him seemed to be really unaware of the fact that the eggs of strange beasts could appear under the sunlight.

But how is this possible?

Based on Tang Zijun's understanding of these evil forces, although some senior cadres will not tell all the conspiracies to their subordinates' action team leaders, their goals are the same and it is impossible for them to reveal nothing.

Moreover, things like alien beast eggs are obviously placed in the real world by special outsider demons. Some alien beast eggs are even guarded by the underworld and elite or captain-level outsider demons.

Even if the Mechanical Outer Demon had already arrived in the real world, it would not be completely unaware of the plans of the inner world.

He is a nail nailed into reality, not an existence completely expelled from the inner world. He should be aware of something like this that is obviously enough to affect the war situation between the real world and the inner world.

Tang Zijun slowly put down the shotgun in his hand and asked.

"How much do you know about Sir Skeleton?"

"Lord Skeleton?" Hearing this name, the Mechanical Outer Demon's reaction was noticeably greater, though more confused. "Lord Skeleton is a high-ranking official in the Liaosha region."

"Liaosha area?" It was the first time that Tang Zijun heard this place name. It didn't sound like the name of an area in the real world.

"The otherworld has its own names for the geographical locations in the real world. It might be difficult to find the corresponding names in your memory, after all, they are marked according to the opening of the gap."

Chang Lei came over and calmly added an introduction.

"The gaps opened in different cities are not the same as the areas in the inner world. These guys divide them according to the territories of various senior officials in the inner world. Two cities may be thousands of kilometers apart in reality, but in the inner world, they belong to the same senior official."

Tang Zijun narrowed his eyes slightly. "So, in the other world, those senior officials all have their own territories, and the gaps that appear between their territories and reality are their channels for invasion and territorial divisions?"

"You could say that," Chang Lei nodded. "Once a breach is opened in some large cities, it might even attract the attention of two or three high-ranking officials."

Now Tang Zijun knew where his doubts came from.

He has always judged the heretic demons according to the thinking when he fought the greedy one, but the fact is that the formation and rules of the inner world are completely different from those of the mirror plane, and the action guidelines of the heretic demons are also very different from those of the greedy one.

Although the Greedy Ones also have many senior cadres, they do not have actual divisions such as territories or regions. They are led by the Mirror-Eating God of Greed, and each uses different methods to hunt prey.

Rather than imagining greedy people as a whole, it is better to say that they are just a group of 'collaborators'.

They rarely act together and usually travel alone. Even low-level greedy people will not obey the orders of senior cadres.

If he hadn't killed so many people, forcing these greedy people to form a whole to fight against him, he would probably have continued to fight each other in the future like sand that cannot cohere.

But the outside demons in the inner world are different. These guys are organized with clear internal hierarchy. Not only are they led by senior cadres, but they also manage all kinds of low-level outside demons and underworld people.

It is no wonder that the Outer Path Demons become the main enemies of the magical girls. The power of these guys united is much stronger than the greedy people who stab each other in the back.

"So, you are also a subordinate of Sir Skeleton?" Tang Zijun turned his gaze to the Mechanical Outer Demon again. He noticed that the other party also called Sir Skeleton "Sir".

"I'm not." The mechanical demon responded with a buzzing sound.

"No wonder he was completely unaware of the strange beast eggs that were not afraid of sunlight. In other words, this method was just the personal behavior of Sir Skeleton and was not known to other heretic demons." Tang Zijun frowned even deeper.

"Is there any problem?" Chang Lei was a little puzzled.

"It's a big problem."

Tang Zijun bit her nails.

"Xiao Bai told me that alien beast eggs cannot be detected before they reach maturity. This means that the magical girls cannot destroy the alien beasts before they hatch. In this case, why haven't any alien beasts been exposed until now?"

"This"

Chang Lei was about to answer, but then he thought of something and fell silent again.

Then Tang Zijun continued.

"Before that bear, I also encountered a monster egg in Snow City. That monster was clearly not something a magical girl of Tangcao's caliber could handle. I don't believe that Sir Skeleton has only two territories under his command, and I certainly don't believe he only cultivated these two monster eggs."

"Then the question arises. If Sir Skeleton had already created enough alien beast eggs before this, why weren't those alien beasts exposed to the public?"

Chapter 98 An army of strange beasts?

Tang Zijun never despises his enemies. Even a lion needs to use all its strength to fight a rabbit. Even though he has reached such a strong level, Tang Zijun will still go all out when facing the enemy.

It is also because of this that Tang Zijun would not really treat those foreign demons as fools.

Perhaps in Chang Lei's eyes, these heretic demons are a group of hopeless idiots, trash who don't understand beauty, but in Tang Zijun's eyes, the threat level of the heretic demons is obviously greater than that of the greedy ones.

This can be seen from the strange beast eggs they cultivated.

The greedy ones do have a certain level of ability in spying on and manipulating people's hearts, but they are not capable of creating such a weird existence.

After facing the alien beast eggs twice, Tang Zijun was able to clearly judge the combat effectiveness of these alien beasts.

Even the bear that has not yet hatched has the strength of a captain. Once it hatches and enters the mature stage, Tang Zijun cannot imagine how strong its combat power will be.

It’s not that Tang Zijun looks down on those magical girls, but facing monsters of this level, it is completely impossible for those girls to deal with them secretly like before.

These strange beasts are not afraid of sunlight and can appear during the day. Once they appear, they will face countless onlookers and innocent people.

It's impossible for a magical girl to hide her identity in such a situation.

Not to mention that since Sir Skeleton was able to deliver the beast eggs to Snow City where the magical girl had just awakened, he was fully capable of delivering them to all other cities with gaps in his territory.

Tang Zijun couldn't believe that such a large-scale net had not been exposed for so long.

Even if the magical girl's magic power can interfere with surveillance, once a witness appears, with today's information network, it will definitely spread rapidly and even attract greater attention.

But such a long time has passed and there has been no news reporting on this matter, nor any information appearing on the Internet, which in itself is a very strange thing.

Chang Lei also realized the seriousness and strangeness of this problem. He touched his chin. "It does sound strange that you say that. From the perspective of the outside demon, exposing the beast to the public eye should be the best option."

These evil creatures born from negative energy are very keen on people's negative emotions. The greedy ones value quality, so they will target a person and squeeze out all his negative emotions before choosing the next target.

The external demons are relatively more unbridled. They tend to focus on numbers and do not seek to take away negative energy from individuals. Instead, they continue to hunt and kill more people to fill their needs with more and more lives.

Under this habit, from the perspective of the heretic demons, if they really bred the eggs of strange beasts that are not afraid of sunlight, then directly releasing them into cities on a large scale would be the correct choice.

When strange beasts are exposed to ordinary humans, when blood and killing fill the streets, not only the dead and injured, but also other people will unconsciously reveal emotions of despair and fear.

In this way, the negative energy required by the heretic demon will be maximized.

Even ordinary people can understand this simple truth, and it is impossible for Sir Skeleton, as a senior official, not to know it.

But strangely, the other party did not choose to do so.

Chang Lei's eyes widened at the thought. "Could it be possible that someone in real life has already established a relevant organization to suppress the incidents of those victims?"

"Probably not."

Tang Zijun shook his head slightly. Although he had similar guesses, considering the actual situation, he felt that this possibility was not great.

"Magical girls themselves are a very niche profession. If someone really noticed their existence, they would definitely try to contact all the magical girls to establish an organization."

"It's okay for someone like Tang Cao who just awakened, but Qin Nan has been wandering around alone for more than two years. If there really was such an organization, they should have recruited Qin Nan long ago."

"And the most crucial question is, if a beast and a magical girl were to fight in broad daylight on the street, even if someone wanted to suppress the incident, do you think it would be possible?"

Hearing this, Chang Lei was stunned for a moment, then paused in thought. "That's right, such a big thing can't be without any disturbance."

Chang Lei knew very well how much Tang Zijun cared about his sister. After learning that Tang Cao had become a magical girl, he should have tried to find her by reversing the world.

If there really is a similar organization in the world, Tang Zijun would have found it himself without him saying anything.

"Now is not the time to discuss whether the magical girl is exposed or not. The key is where those strange beasts are."

"Do you suspect that the reason those strange beasts were not exposed was because Sir Skeleton recovered them all after they were hatched?" Chang Lei asked.

"It's very likely, isn't it?"

Tang Zijun spread his hands and said seriously.

"The two alien beast eggs I encountered were both discovered in advance. Logically, they haven't reached the hatching period yet. The whereabouts of the alien beasts that can actually hatch are currently unknown. If they are not in the real world, then I can only guess that they were specially sent to other places."

"Oh my God." Chang Lei felt his lips dry. "If so many alien beasts were gathered together, they would be enough to overwhelm a large city."

"Of course, this is just a guess. Perhaps the situation isn't as bad as we thought," Tang Zijun said. "There's still one problem we haven't solved yet."

"You mean the characteristic of those strange beast eggs that they are not afraid of sunlight." Chang Lei knew what Tang Zijun meant.

"That's right." Tang Zijun nodded and looked up at Chang Lei. "I don't understand this matter, so I have to trouble you again, but you have to speed up."

"I will try my best."

Chang Lei swallowed his saliva. He didn't think the matter was that serious at first. Even if he was targeted by the heretic demon, he just didn't care.

But things are different now. If that Skeleton Sir really plans to form an army of alien beasts, it will not only threaten ordinary people, but also put his own family in danger.

With a deep sigh, Chang Lei looked at the mechanical heretic demon on the ground again.

"So what do we do with this guy?"

Hearing this, Tang Zijun also noticed this heretic demon who had not spoken a word and had been ignored by him.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot about you."

Pulling the bolt to load the chamber, Tang Zijun raised the shotgun and aimed it at the mechanical outlander's dark crystal.
