Chapter 24 Strange Words and Mysteries
In the boundless darkness, the thick fog, like an impenetrable curtain, swallowed all light and life from this land.
The ground beneath my feet seemed to have a life of its own, sometimes incredibly hard, sometimes like a swamp.
In the extremely low visibility environment, several dilapidated walls were faintly visible, covered with traces of decay and mold, and even tendrils that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, spreading all the way to the base of the walls.
A cold wind howled, carrying a sharp whistling sound, like the lament of a lost soul. A putrid stench and the pungent smell of blood filled the air.
At some point, a group of blurry figures slowly emerged from the thick fog. They moved forward slowly, but their faces were not visible; all that could be felt was their icy aura.
In the cold, damp environment, a whispered sound arose, as grating as iron chains scraping against the ground.
"Sir, your prediction is correct. Those greedy people have probably really made a comeback."
"There aren't many beings capable of instantly detaching the Ghost Crab from the real world, and the power to take him thousands of miles away in just a few minutes is probably only found in those faceless creatures."
Although the voice was harsh, the tone was extremely respectful.
Then, a young voice emerged.
"I'll assume the Ghost Crab is dead."
"this"
Although they already had a guess in their hearts, they were still a little startled when the lord confirmed it.
"My lord, the Ghost-Faced Crab's last energy reaction was in Snow City. Should we..."
"Qiong Niu, you must understand that in the world of reversed perception, there is no concept of distance. Even if they are thousands of miles apart, it is only a step away for them. We will not be able to find any clues."
The young voice replied lightly.
"But."
The creature known as the Qiongniu sounded somewhat anxious.
"The greedy ones haven't appeared for seven years. Although we don't have much contact with them, we still occasionally run into each other."
When they disappeared, countless mirrors in reality cracked. This level of energy had a violent impact on the whole world, which suggests that something terrible had happened in the Reverse World. The higher-ups all believed that the Reverse World had collapsed.
Their sudden appearance at this time, and their attack on our people, will it affect our plans?
Hearing Qiong Niu's somewhat heavy tone, the young voice paused for a moment before slowly resounding.
"What you should be asking is—how did those greedy people survive without seven years of negative energy supply?"
"To be honest, sir, I do have some concerns. The disappearance of the greedy ones was already suspicious, and now they've inexplicably reappeared. I'm worried."
"What are you worried about?" The young voice held a hint of amusement. "Do you really think the greedy will turn around and attack us?"
"The Ghost-Faced Crab's mission failed mainly because of that unknown entity's interference. If it weren't for that guy meddling, that little girl would have died long ago," Qiong Niu said coldly.
The young voice chuckled sinisterly upon hearing this.
"Until now, the greedy have been coexisting peacefully with us. This time, they have willingly abandoned seven years of hiding and exposed their tracks, presumably because our recent actions have provoked them."
"You mean..." In an instant, Qiongniu seemed to understand something.
"It seems our old friend doesn't want us to be exposed to the sunlight too soon, hehehe."
A sound like ghostly laughter drifted from afar, causing the surrounding thick fog to churn violently.
The eyes in the shadows were all tightly closed, and lightning flashed across the sky above. The blood-red clouds twisted and turned, as if they were about to burst open at any moment.
Startled by the laughter, Qiong Niu's voice rang out again.
"But sir, our results are not yet mature, and those faceless men have suddenly appeared out of nowhere. I'm worried."
"No rush."
The young voice chuckled softly.
"Now that they've already revealed their identities, there must be someone who's having a bigger headache than us."
Upon hearing this, Qiong Niu let out a series of chilling, low breaths. Having followed the lord for so long, he naturally knew who the 'people' the lord was referring to were.
"Sir, what is our plan?"
"Let's put it on hold for a while. Anyway, that thing isn't mature enough yet. In this chaotic situation, we don't need to get involved. But we can find some bait to spread out."
"A bait?" Qiong Niu was a little confused.
Then the young voice suddenly asked a question.
The latest novel is first published here!
"Qiong Niu, have you ever fished?"
"I've never fished before," Qiong Niu answered honestly.
"The main concept of fishing is that you cast your line regardless of whether there are fish or not."
The young voice had a captivating magnetism.
Upon hearing this, Qiong Niu immediately understood.
"Sir, I know what to do."
Meanwhile, in another dimension, Tang Zijun, the current owner of the mirror plane, tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
The invasion of the real world by the greedy is not without trace; their main targets are basically humans whose negative energy is increasing dramatically.
Since the two do not exist in the same dimension, humans and greedy people are generally unable to observe each other.
However, when some people fall into darkness due to immense pressure or certain events, the surge of negative energy attracts those with greedy desires.
Once the intensity of negative energy reaches a critical point, the real world and the reversed world will create an interconnected tunnel through the reflection of the mirror.
This passage is short and unpredictable, which may be the main reason why those spirit beasts could not sense the appearance of the greedy one.
However, unlike those driven by greed, the arrival of heretics and demons is often not related to a single individual, but rather to the sum of negative energy in the entire city.
Tang Zijun was certain that there had never been a magical girl in Snow City before.
If he hadn't noticed the other person's presence after living so close for several years, then Tang Zijun would have lived in vain.
The problem is that, in a sense, magical girls and heretics have a unique symbiotic relationship.
The absence of magical girls means the absence of any dark forces, and vice versa.
Having lived in this city for several years, Tang Zijun had never sensed the presence of the heretical demons.
Conversely, if one's younger sister becomes a magical girl, does that mean that the negative energy threshold of Snow City has reached a critical point, and countless heretical demons will emerge next?
