Chapter 78 Tang Cao, Tang Ziyi
Looking at the strange beast egg trapped in the mirror world, Chang Lei could still feel the evil aura even though there was a veil between them.
"I've heard about these things a long time ago, but I've never had the chance to come into contact with them. Seeing is believing, and these things are even more disgusting than I imagined."
Since the Greedy Ones are all transformed from the reflections of humans in the mirror, they mostly launch their invasions in human form. Even if a mirror core is formed, their appearance remains that of a monster.
But the heretical demons of the inner world are different. Their appearances are all bizarre. Any living or dead thing that is possessed by the dark crystal will be transformed into a heretical demon full of evil power.
The strange beasts created by the heretics are called biological weapons because they have no rationality whatsoever, only endless killing and bloodlust.
In Chang Lei's words, it was "completely devoid of any aesthetic appeal."
"So, how do you need me to cooperate?"
Tang Zijun walked up to Chang Lei, crossed her arms, and casually asked.
"It's enough that you've brought it here," Chang Lei said in a deep voice. "Next, I'll try to find out exactly what kind of modifications this thing has undergone."
"Are you okay on your own?"
Tang Zijun turned her head and glanced at Chang Lei.
"It's not that I look down on you, but this beast is no ordinary wild animal. If we rashly interrupt its hatching period, it will go into extreme rage and become extremely threatening."
"If you still possessed the power of a high-ranking official, I wouldn't care, but now, given your current situation, I'm afraid..."
"Are you worried about me?" Chang Lei smiled and continued, "Don't worry, although I can't unleash my true power, I'm not so vulnerable as to let this guy hurt me."
The mirrored passage opened, and pure light enveloped the alien beast egg, presenting it to the two of them.
Chang Lei tentatively touched the surface of the alien beast egg with his hand and scraped off a layer of black, viscous liquid with his finger, which made Tang Zijun frown repeatedly.
"A pure creation of death, indeed the work of those guys from the other world."
As he spoke, Chang Lei stuck out his tongue and licked it.
"It tastes like a rotten bear, with a hint of human blood. If you remove the strong negative energy, the heretical demons really went all out."
Watching Chang Lei's "beast egg on the tip of the tongue" performance, Tang Zijun almost vomited.
However, he quickly regained his composure and asked, "I can understand the smell of human blood, but what is a bear?"
"Have you ever heard of bears?" Chang Lei asked in return.
Tang Zijun paused for a moment, then looked at Chang Lei with surprise. "Are you talking about a special species of bear? I thought it was a creature from historical legends."
"Does that mean we're not 'legendary' beings to people in the real world?" Chang Lei said gently. "Don't underestimate those guys in the other world."
"Bears are very intelligent and cunning creatures. They are the strongest and most intelligent of all bears. Most of the bear killings you've heard of are the work of bears."
Listening to Chang Lei's explanation, Tang Zijun also fell into deep thought.
Although Tang Zijun himself didn't know much about the habits and characteristics of these animals, he had heard about bears killing humans because he often watched strange and mysterious cases online.
"The most important thing about a so-called 'strange beast' is that it must have the desire to kill humans. It is a terrifying monster that hunts and feeds on humans."
"Most monsters are cultivated using human flesh and blood, but for the heretical demons, monsters that have actually killed humans are the best materials for cultivating monsters."
"Many bears that have tasted human flesh become addicted to meat and indulge in the desire to kill. These guys will disguise themselves as humans and rush up to kill hikers when they get close."
"The beast egg you brought this time should contain a bear that is being modified and constructed by negative energy."
Chang Lei turned around to look at Tang Zijun and continued speaking.
"Luckily you acted quickly. Although I don't know where you caught this thing, if this bear were exposed on the street, it would probably cause a lot of damage."
"When did you start worrying about the safety of humanity?" Tang Zijun chuckled, arms crossed.
People change.
Chang Lei sighed softly, then raised his head, remained silent for a while, and then slowly spoke.
"To be honest, Wolf Rider, there's something I've wanted to ask you for a while now."
"What is it?" Tang Zijun asked.
"You have been silent for seven years, a full seven years. You have not appeared in front of me again. I know you will eventually find me, but you have no intention of killing me."
Chang Lei stared intently at Tang Zijun. "Why did you choose to return to public life at this time?"
"Perhaps you were unaware of the existence of the Otherworld before, but that shouldn't be your reason for fighting. I can sense that you're anxious; you seem desperate to find out about the Outer Path Demons, even going so far as to seek help from your former enemies."
"So what exactly happened? What on earth happened that caused such a strong reaction from you?"
The latest novel is first published here!
Upon hearing Chang Lei's words, Tang Zijun opened her mouth, paused, and then couldn't help but chuckle.
"You're quite perceptive, Hawkes."
Tang Zijun shook her head slightly and sighed.
"Actually, it's not something that can't be said. After all, in a sense, we know each other quite well—do you remember my younger sister from my hometown?"
"My younger sister." Chang Lei pondered for a moment, as long-buried memories slowly surfaced, and a name surfaced in his mind. "It's... Tang Ziyi, right?"
"It's a wonder you still remember." Tang Zijun smiled.
Tang Ziyi is Tang Yuan's original name.
As a child, Tangcao was frail and sickly, suffering from illnesses from birth. It was because of this that her parents renamed her "Tangcao," a name derived from a traditional Chinese pattern, symbolizing lushness and vitality.
Perhaps because of her name, Tangcao really did become much healthier after the age of three, never suffered from any serious illnesses again, and also became more lively and outgoing.
Actually, my situation is similar to yours.
Tang Zijun looked somewhat worried.
"You gave up your power as a high-ranking official for Luan Luan, enduring inhuman suffering every day, while I picked up the belt again, wasn't it also for my own sister?"
Seeing that Tang Zijun's expression didn't seem fake, Chang Lei could understand his feelings.
Chang Lei raised his hand and patted Tang Zijun on the shoulder, then sighed.
My condolences.
"Thanks."
Tang Zijun nodded, somewhat moved.
He immediately realized what was happening and slapped Chang Lei's hand away.
"What's there to mourn? My sister isn't dead!"
