Is it related to natural energy?
Upon hearing Chang Lei's words, Tang Zijun couldn't help but think of magical girls and rainbow crystal flowers.
According to Xiao Hui and Xiao Bai, the Rainbow Crystal Flower is produced from natural energy in the real world, which is pure natural magic, a special existence that humans and evil forces cannot access.
Unlike negative energy, the energy fluctuations in nature are relatively positive. Although there is not much sunlight, it is at least rich in vitality, which is contrary to the stillness of heretics and demons.
"You suspect that this creature belongs to the magical girl faction?" Tang Zijun frowned slightly.
"I think it's very likely. In any case, I don't recall ever seeing any similar creatures," Chang Lei said. "Don't let their small size fool you; their bones actually contain extremely strong energy, you could call it magic."
To make it easier for Tang Zijun to see, Chang Lei adjusted the folding magnifying glass to the normal setting and then used tweezers to pick up a leg bone about the size of a matchstick.
"Look, there are some crystals at the fracture site of this leg bone. This substance, which looks like snow salt, is what is called residual magic. However, these things are too small to be easily detected."
Tang Zijun didn't know much about magic; his attention was focused on the purple patterns on the surface of the bone.
"These patterns weren't drawn on by you, were they?"
"Of course not," Chang Lei replied without hesitation.
"Then what is this thing? Is it also a remnant of magic from this creature's body?" Tang Zijun asked curiously.
"No, actually, according to my speculation, these creatures are the same as humans, the difference being their size. They are like humans shrunk several times over, and these patterns come from the energy of the heretical demons."
Chang Lei used a long needle as a pointer, pointing to the strange purple pattern that stretched from the hip bone all the way to the toe bones without any discernible pattern, and continued to explain.
"Look, these patterns are not naturally present on the bone, but were etched onto it by external forces through corrosion. You should be able to smell the stench on it. This is a product of negative energy, the work of heretics and demons."
Tang Zijun leaned closer to examine it closely and indeed found that on the surface of those incredibly tiny bones, purple patterns left pitted marks as if they had been burned.
Without a magnifying glass, you might not be able to see the truth about this thing at first glance.
"It should be a trace left inside the monster's egg." Although Tang Zijun asked rhetorically, her tone was quite firm.
Chang Lei nodded slightly. "That's my guess too. These little things were probably used as materials and incorporated into the containers of the alien beast eggs for cultivation while they were still alive."
"After the alien beast eggs are released into the real world by the heretical demons, the endless stream of negative energy will not only become the source of power for the hatching of the alien beast eggs, but will also transform the magic power in the bodies of these creatures into something new."
"If my research is correct, the source of the alien beast eggs' ability to withstand sunlight is most likely these unknown tiny creatures."
Tang Zijun's impression of the unscrupulous methods of the heretics deepened. These guys were indeed just as Chang Lei had said, a bunch of mad dogs without any bottom line.
It should be noted that even the greedy are mostly people with a bottom line and who remain rational. On the other hand, the heretics and demons are monsters who act without any regard for the consequences.
But that's understandable. Greedy people are the evil counterparts of humanity. Although they are weirdos, they still have human thoughts. Heretics and demons are different; they are even more insane.
"Our previous guess was correct. The heretics, or rather, Sir Skeleton, are carrying out some kind of conspiracy. They are using the negative energy of the real world to create a large number of monsters."
"The question is, what is their purpose?" Chang Lei raised his head, looked at Tang Zijun, and continued.
"Although we've solved one problem, two questions remain: Why did Sir Skull raise so many strange beasts? What is his purpose?"
"Is it possible that it's to help him expand his territory?" Tang Zijun suggested. "You mentioned before that different high-ranking officials in the Otherworld have different territories, right? Could it be that he's trying to seize the power of other high-ranking officials?"
"That's a possibility, but the problem is that there's no sun in the inner world, so he doesn't need to specially cultivate an army of alien beasts that aren't afraid of sunlight if he wants to take action."
"Then his only goal must be the real world." Tang Zijun frowned, having come full circle back to this place.
In fact, Tang Zijun had long suspected this. With such a large army, if Sir Skull wanted to, he could make any city in the world fall at any time.
But what puzzled Tang Zijun was why he hadn't made a move yet.
"We can put that question aside for now," Chang Lei said, sitting back down in his chair. "What I want to know now is that training such a large army requires an enormous amount of energy."
"As you just saw, there are so many tiny human corpses inside just this one monster egg. If Sir Skeleton wants to build an army, then we need to figure out where these tiny humans came from."
Yes.
What is the origin of these thumb-sized creatures?
Since they are not individuals, it means that they also belong to their own species. And since Sir Skeleton created so many strange beasts, it means that he may have found the location of these creatures' species.
Thinking about this, Tang Zijun felt a sense of urgency for no apparent reason.
It's no wonder he was anxious. It would have been fine if he hadn't known before, but now that he does, Tang Zijun can no longer remain indifferent.
After all, every bit of time they waste increases the chances of one of their little men dying at the hands of Sir Skeleton.
"I need to get going as soon as possible."
Tang Zijun stood up, preparing to leave, when she suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, you don't mind letting me take these remains with you, do you? The magical girl side needs evidence, and I need to let them know how serious this is."
Although Tang Zijun really wanted to tie the magical girl to herself immediately, she also understood that her sudden appearance would most likely cause the magical girl to react negatively.
They've been fighting against the greedy and heretics for so long, and now that I've come knocking on their door using the Reversal World, they're unlikely to believe me.
Tang Zijun doesn't have time to gradually earn their trust. His only option is to show the magical girls an even bigger enemy and force them to stand on his side.
In any case, regarding Sir Skull, the threat he poses is not just to himself, but to the entire real world.
Upon hearing Tang Zijun's words, Chang Lei immediately realized what was going on.
"Of course I don't mind, but wait a minute, I've already prepared it for you. Let me find it for you, it should be in the living room."
As he spoke, Chang Lei tiptoed out, not keeping Tang Zijun waiting for too long. After rummaging through drawers and cabinets for a while, he returned to the bedroom, carrying several photo frames in his hand.
"What's this?"
Tang Zijun looked at the thing in Chang Lei's hand with some curiosity.
The latest novel is first published here!
The next moment, Chang Lei arranged the photo frames one by one on the bed and showed them to Tang Zijun for inspection.
There are six picture frames in total. Instead of photos, they contain specimens. Each frame contains a skeleton specimen fixed with wire, just like the ones on the worktable, small and exquisite.
Seemingly to add a decorative touch, Chang Lei thoughtfully arranged labels for them, and behind each bone, there were butterfly wings pasted on it, some blue and some yellow, which looked exceptionally beautiful.
It has to be said that people can actually laugh when they're speechless.
Tang Zijun's lips twitched incessantly as she stared blankly at the row of 'human specimens' in front of her, her voice trembling slightly.
"This is."
"Ah, I know what you're wondering. It's all thanks to Luan Luan; she gave me some great advice while she was helping me with the repairs."
Chang Lei spoke with some excitement and enthusiasm.
"I also noticed that these creatures have outward expansion at the scapulae, which should be the adhesive of the exoskeleton. In other words, they originally had wings, but they were probably corroded inside the alien eggs, so I restored them using butterfly wings."
"No, no, no, that's not the point!"
Tang Zijun really didn't know how to describe her current emotions.
"You, you should know these things are corpses, right? Wait, wait, Luan Luan? You even let Luan Luan help you with the restoration?!"
"Yeah, that's right." Chang Lei replied matter-of-factly, unaware of Tang Zijun's surprise. "Time is tight and the task is heavy. I'm all alone, and Luan Luan doesn't usually have much to do."
Upon hearing this, Tang Zijun's mind went blank.
Chang Lei sighed softly and then continued.
"You don't know, Luan Luan is a good child in every way, except that she is very curious. A few days ago, she kept pestering me to go to the zoo. I didn't keep an eye on her for a moment and she almost ran away. So for her safety, I thought of finding something for her to do."
Tang Zijun tried to calm himself down, but he was indeed a bit confused.
"I have a question: do you really think it's okay to let a child as young as Luan Luan play with human skeletons?"
"Is there a problem?"
Snapped.
Tang Zijun slapped herself on the forehead.
"You're quite the living dad."
Looking at Chang Lei, who didn't seem to think he had any problems at all, Tang Zijun suddenly felt that it was a bit inappropriate to let a greedy person take care of the child.
After a moment of silence, Tang Zijun casually picked up a specimen from the bed and stared at Chang Lei, saying in an annoyed tone.
"I'll definitely find a way to fix Luan Luan's leg. Take Luan Luan to the zoo tomorrow."
"Also, don't let her come into contact with these things in the future; she's still a child!"
