Chapter 59: A Surprise Attack!
That's the situation.
In Chang'an, in the one-bedroom apartment that Qin Nan was temporarily renting, she was seriously reporting the intelligence from tonight to Tang Zijun.
Well, it wasn't that serious. Qin Nan kept swallowing while giving his report, and his eyes kept glancing at the food on the table.
"I already said we can chat while we eat, no need to be so formal."
After Tang Zijun went out for a stroll, she found that Chang'an was unusually quiet tonight, so she took Xiao Hui to buy some ingredients and made a simple roasted pork ribs and some flatbread.
When I went to pick up Qin Nan, the pork ribs had just come out of the oven and smelled delicious.
"That won't do." Upon hearing this, Qin Nan immediately became serious. "Work is work, and eating is eating; how can the two be mixed up?"
Tang Zijun chuckled to herself, thinking to herself that if her eyes hadn't been so blurry, she would have actually believed her. After a pause, she still waved her hand.
"I like your attitude. Eat up, it'll get cold soon."
Tang Zijun's words were like a starting gun.
Upon hearing this, Qin Nan immediately sat down in the chair, not caring that her hands were covered in oil, and grabbed a pork rib to start eating.
Watching Qin Nan's unrefined eating habits, Tang Zijun was quite happy, after all, the other party's behavior was the best proof of her cooking skills.
However, recalling Qin Nan's report just now, Tang Zijun frowned slightly.
There are two crucial questions facing Tang Zijun now, and both of these mysteries were "contributed" by Xiaobai.
One was the enormous monster in her dream, as huge as mountains and rivers; the other was her enlightening experience, which was completely different from other spirit beasts.
First, there were monsters as large as mountains. Tang Zijun had fought with the Greedy Ones for so long, but he had never seen anything of such enormous size. The largest monster he had ever seen since he came to this world was the strange mantis he had encountered before.
An existence as tall as a mountain is clearly not something an ordinary magical girl can fight.
So here's the question: where did this monster come from, and when did Xiaobai's dream, or rather, his memory, originate?
As for the memory transfer during that enlightenment, the mysteries hidden within are even greater.
The enlightenment of spirit beasts relies on the power of nature. In theory, there should be absolutely no problems with this kind of memory transfer. However, what Xiaobai encountered was beyond Qin Nan's imagination.
Adjusting her glasses, Tang Zijun turned to look at Xiao Hui.
"Little Grey, I don't know much about early childhood education. Could you explain the process to me in detail?"
Upon hearing Tang Zijun's voice, Xiao Hui, who had been pretending to be dead, suddenly shuddered, then cautiously opened his eyes and chuckled awkwardly.
"Of course, as you wish, the enlightenment of spirit beasts, simply put, is to inject some basic knowledge gained from the battles and research of magical girls in the past into the spiritual world of animals through dreams, in order to achieve the purpose of awakening their intelligence."
"A dream?" Tang Zijun keenly grasped the key point.
"Yes, that's right."
Little Grey said, trembling.
"Animals also dream, but due to the limited size of their brains, their dreams are always bizarre and varied. The forces of nature take this opportunity to open up the animal's brain, enabling it to gain consciousness and self-awareness."
"Is it possible that this kind of memory transfer could be affected by other forces?" Tang Zijun asked again.
"Theoretically, it should be impossible. After all, this is a blessing brought by the power of nature, the origin of the real world. If there really is some kind of power that can influence this blessing, then it proves that the other party is above the real world."
Little Grey chuckled and flapped its wings, then continued speaking.
"I feel like things might not be that serious. Your kitten is probably just asleep."
"Do you really think that 'being half-asleep' is enough to explain why she forgot even basic facts like the magical girl ranking system?" Tang Zijun rubbed her temples, feeling a little helpless.
Although Xiao Bai gave him the impression of being unreliable from the beginning, besides referring to himself as "this palace" all the time, he was also a bit strange when facing heretics and demons.
Especially when he first revealed his identity to her, Xiaobai had never even heard of the Reversal World or the Greedy One.
You should know that even though the greedy people have been eliminated for seven years, their past should have been passed down to some extent.
Moreover, the enlightenment of spirit beasts is transmitted through memories. Since it can transmit the battles of magical girls, surely the power of nature wouldn't be unable to distinguish exactly how many enemies there are.
Thinking this through, Tang Zijun continued.
"I remember Qin Nan mentioning to me before that Little Gray, you've been enlightened for a long time, haven't you? And you've even stayed at other magical girls' homes before?"
Little Grey: "."
Xiao Hui glared at Qin Nan, who was eating heartily, without leaving a trace. She was a little angry. Did this guy have a zipper on his mouth? How could he say everything?
On the surface, however, Little Grey still obediently nodded its little head at Tang Zijun.
"Yes, I did have such a painful experience."
"Don't be nervous. I don't mean to pry. I just want to know more about magical girls and spirit beasts, especially regarding Xiaobai's question."
As she spoke, Tang Zijun suddenly stopped.
The latest novel is first published here!
Tang Zijun's ears twitched slightly, and her expression was no longer as relaxed as before.
When Tang Zijun suddenly stopped speaking, Xiao Hui was also taken aback.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
Something seems off.
Tang Zijun seemed to be answering, but also seemed to be talking to herself.
Noticing Tang Zijun's somewhat subtle expression, Qin Nan stopped eating and kept glancing back and forth between Xiao Hui and Tang Zijun, wondering what had happened.
Just then, without any warning, Tang Zijun suddenly sprang into action—
Before Xiao Hui could react, Tang Zijun suddenly grabbed his body, and then a deafening explosion came crashing down!
With a loud bang, Qin Nan's one-bedroom apartment instantly collapsed.
Bricks and wooden blocks flew everywhere like cannonballs, kicking up clouds of dust. The old walls were mercilessly torn apart by this force, and everything in the house crumbled in just a few breaths.
The wall connecting the street looked as if it had been torn apart by a giant hand, with the entire wall bricks and steel bars breaking off and crashing heavily to the ground.
The entire house was reduced to ruins in an instant, leaving only billowing smoke and dust and a scene of utter devastation.
Amidst the billowing dust, two figures leaped out and landed steadily on the street, one after the other.
Only then did Tang Zijun release Xiao Hui's body, but he was already stiff with fear, lying quietly in Tang Zijun's hand without making any movement.
Not having time to worry about Xiao Hui's condition, Tang Zijun turned to look at Qin Nan beside her.
"Are you alright?"
"Cough cough cough, I'm fine."
Qin Nan clutched her shoulder, a trickle of crimson blood seeping from between her fingers, clearly indicating an injury.
"It's a pity. I haven't finished my pork chop yet."
Qin Nan had already transformed, but even so, the sudden attack still caught her off guard.
Tang Zijun's expression was extremely serious. She then turned around and looked at the spot where she had just been attacked.
