In the living room, Tang Zijun sat quietly in front of the fish tank, staring blankly at the fish wriggling in the water.
Touching the glass of the bathtub with her fingers was Tang Zijun's favorite way to pass the time.
Since the beast was killed, there has been no response from the Outer Path Demons, as if it were just a normal dimensional invasion. However, the fact that so many Netherworld Scum were assigned to guard it, and that the beast's egg hatched during the day, is clearly not a normal event.
Unlike the ways of the greedy, this group of heretics is bizarre and has grand ambitions. They are numerous enough to cover every city in the world.
Most importantly, he couldn't use the power of Kamen Rider to find the entrance to the inner world. Under these circumstances, even he was at a disadvantage, just like those magical girls, and had to passively fight back.
While it's true that you can deal with whatever comes your way, it's still a bit unsettling to learn that there's a group of cunning and scheming individuals lurking beneath the surface.
I raised my hand and wiped away the water vapor on the glass wall. In a hazy moment, the image of the unfinished buildings in the East District appeared on the fish tank.
The corpse of the mantis beast had been completely dissolved and cleaned up, and even the Netherworld Scum had vanished without a trace. The entire unfinished building was deathly silent, with only the rustling sound of the night wind swaying the garbage bags.
There is no concept of distance in the mirror world, but the other world is clearly different.
It seems that the so-called Skull Knight has been active in the vicinity of Chang'an for many years, which may also prove that in the organization of the heretical demons, high-ranking cadres all have their own territories.
Tang Zijun couldn't be sure if the strange beast egg was the work of Skull Sir, but he was certain that, apart from the crab, he hadn't sensed any other demonic aura during the day.
In other words, daywalkers who can appear during the day are not common among the heretics and demons. They are very likely hiding something, and it may even be a test of the real world.
But for now, these are all just speculations.
Until more clues are uncovered, the investigation can only proceed at this stage for now.
Just then, a clanging and clattering sound suddenly came from the direction of the bedroom.
Tang Zijun was startled, and then couldn't help but turn her head to look in the direction from which the sound came. She then saw Xiaobai rushing into the living room in a panic.
"You woke up quite late. Tang Cao was just saying she wanted to introduce you to Si Yao, but you were sleeping so soundly that she didn't want to disturb you. Are you hungry? Would you like me to prepare something for you?"
Tang Zijun assumed that Xiaobai had woken up because she was hungry, since she hadn't seen her eat anything for the past few days.
But Xiaobai's eyes were filled with terror, its fur stood on end, and its voice even sounded like it was about to cry.
"Tang, Tang Zijun, something terrible has happened!"
At first, Tang Zijun was a little confused, but when he noticed Xiaobai's expression and tone, he instinctively became a little nervous, and his face gradually became serious.
"What's wrong? Don't rush, tell me slowly. The sky isn't going to fall."
"Tang Cao, Tang Cao, she..."
Xiaobai's eyes were filled with panic and helplessness. She kept circling around Tang Zijun, her voice extremely anxious.
"I can no longer sense the presence of the arabesque!"
"What did you say?!"
Tang Zijun's body tensed instantly.
She didn't even notice that Xiaobai used "I" instead of referring to herself as "this Empress".
the other side.
Tangcao's consciousness seemed to be floating in a dark abyss. Her once-swift brain was now in chaos, as if she were stuck in a quagmire.
She didn't know how much time had passed when she suddenly shook her head, and her dazed mind gradually returned to her body.
He slowly opened his eyes, his vision strangely blurry.
Tang Cao rubbed her eyes in a daze, silently asking herself three soul-searching questions.
who am I?
where am I?
What was I supposed to do again?
The crystal on her chest emitted a faint glow, and a chill instantly enveloped Tangcao, making her shiver and clear her mind.
I think I came in to buy a cake, together with Yao Yao.
Yao Yao!?
Looking around, before she could even discern her surroundings, Tang Cao quickly noticed Su Siyao, who had collapsed at her feet.
"Yaoyao, Yaoyao, are you alright?"
She called out tentatively a few times, and the girl's lively voice echoed in the empty, deathly silent space, giving off a strange sense of unease.
But Tang Cao had no time to care about that now. She gently shook Su Siyao's shoulder, but found that the other party did not react at all, just like Sleeping Beauty.
Her heart was pounding. This was the first time Tang Cao had encountered something so strange. Her mind went blank, and she quickly took out her phone from her pocket.
"elder brother"
The latest novel is first published here!
As soon as she opened her mouth, Tang Cao discovered that her phone wouldn't light up at all, as if it had run out of power and shut down. No matter how many times she pressed the power button, there was no response.
broken
Silence enveloped the entire space, with only Tangcao's own breathing and heartbeat being exceptionally clear.
Reaching out to feel Su Siyao's pulse, Tang Cao found that her heartbeat was relatively stable, which eased her tension somewhat.
Although we don't know why she fainted, at least we can now confirm that Yao Yao is safe and sound.
Tang Cao touched the crystal pendant on her chest, forcing herself to calm down.
Looking up and observing her surroundings, Tang Cao realized that she was in a cake shop. Judging from the facilities, it seemed to be the same shop she remembered entering.
The lights inside the cake shop turned a warm yellow, quietly illuminating the cakes displayed below. But contrary to my memory, those exquisite cakes now exuded an eerie aura.
Some cakes have jam on top that looks like congealed blood, and the fruit decorations resemble shriveled eyeballs.
The aroma of cake filled the air, but it was mixed with an indescribable rotten smell.
Tang Cao frowned and slowly stood up, her gaze constantly shifting from the eerie surroundings.
The shop window was covered with a thin layer of fog, making it impossible for her to see the view outside. Moss, like stains, was spreading out from the cracks in the floor tiles.
The wallpaper on the walls had peeled off, revealing the mottled marks underneath, while the light bulbs in the ceiling emitted a decaying yellow light, flickering and making one's heart race.
The counter was empty, the cake trays on it were rusty, and the cashier looked retro, with incomplete buttons and illegible numbers.
"Where exactly is this place?"
Tangcao didn't dare to breathe loudly, afraid that even the slightest movement would alert the unknown entity lurking in the shadows.
Just as she was hesitating and unsure of what to do, a dull thud suddenly came from the tightly closed kitchen door.
