Chapter 15 The Crab Monster's Fear
A sound like shattering glass rang out.
It felt like a second, yet also like a whole year. In Qin Nan's daze, a faint light reappeared in her vision.
Then, the narrow corridor disappeared, and a strange world slowly unfolded before his eyes like a scroll painting.
The mirror plane was dark at this moment, and a hazy mist surrounded it.
The city's architecture is upside down and chaotic, with countless buildings intersecting and folding together in an indescribable way. The tops of the buildings are buried deep underground, while their foundations extend towards the sky.
The object known as the 'sun' is hidden in the depths of darkness, occasionally emitting a faint ray of light, but it cannot bring any warmth.
Beneath their feet, a shattered moon lies buried beneath the bricks and stones, its fragments scattered among rows of terracotta warriors, shimmering with an eerie glow.
Qin Nan recognized her surroundings; this was the city where she lived, but at this moment, the city felt extremely unfamiliar to her.
This was the first time she had ever seen such a bizarre and surreal world. Looking at the chilling environment, she couldn't help but feel a surge of helplessness.
Just as Qin Nan was still lost in shock, a loud shout from not far away suddenly interrupted her thoughts.
"Mirror Dimension. You are a glutton!?"
The crab-like monster seemed to be a knowledgeable fellow. He quickly determined his current location, and then, with a trembling voice filled with surprise and anger, he roared at the strange being in front of him.
"What do you mean by this?! Do you beings born from subverting all concepts intend to wage war against our inner world?"
Looking at the furious crab monster, Tang Zijun's expression under her helmet was quite interesting.
What does that mean?
Does this mean they see me as a companion?
No, that's not right.
Although they are clearly both in the evil camp, it seems that the heretics of the underworld and the greedy ones of the mirror plane are not from the same faction.
After all that fuss, it turns out these guys from the other world are well aware of the existence of the mirror dimension, and judging from their tone, the connection between them is even closer than they imagined.
So why didn't I notice the existence of other forces when I fought the Greedy Ones for three years?
Similarly, judging from this strange man's reaction, he seems unaware that the Greedy Ones have been wiped out; he still naively believes that his colleagues who are living in seclusion in the Mirror Dimension still exist.
However, this was just Tang Zijun's personal guess. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to try to trick the other party and see if he could get more information out of them.
Thinking of this, Tang Zijun lowered her voice and said calmly, "I had no intention of attacking you, but you shouldn't have, of all people, set your sights on my prey."
"Your prey?" The crab-like monster seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. Its small, dark eyes stared intently at Tang Zijun, and it sneered. "You've been gone for seven years. In a seven-year gap, someone has to take a slice of the pie. You gave up here on your own, so don't blame us."
Aha~
What Little Gray said makes sense.
These guys are definitely a bunch of people who will answer any question!
The crab-like monster's voice continued. "The hatred and murderous intent this man carries towards his own kind is exactly what we need. Although the Otherworld and your Mirror Dimension have never cooperated, we have never been enemies either. You have no right to disrupt my plans, much less threaten me!"
"You think the 'prey' I'm referring to is this man you've possessed?" Tang Zijun raised an eyebrow, her hoarse voice carrying a hint of mockery.
Upon hearing Tang Zijun's words, the crab monster was suddenly stunned.
After thinking for a while, he stiffly turned to the side and focused his gaze on the magical girl who had been pulled into the mirror dimension along with him.
From the very beginning, the crab monster noticed that the magical girl had also been pulled in, but he wasn't in the mood to care about her at the time. The moment he entered the mirror dimension, he knew very well that he was in a very disadvantageous position.
This is their home turf; everything is controlled by them.
Although he had never actually encountered a Greedy Person, he had heard of their bizarre methods, especially in the Reversed World, where their combat power would be greatly enhanced.
Of the two present, the strange, greedy one was clearly more threatening than the magical girl, so the crab monster subconsciously ignored the magical girl's presence.
Now, feeling both gazes fixed on him, Qin Nan felt a chill run down his spine, and goosebumps rose all over his body.
Unconsciously taking a half step back, Qin Nan didn't say anything, but simply gripped the crystal dagger in her hand, preparing for battle.
She had never heard of any mirror dimension. For the past two years, since she became a magical girl, she had been fighting against the Outer Demons of the Inner World.
Looking at the unfamiliar figure clad in silver-gray wolf-head armor, she felt an invisible pressure looming over her head, like a hanging sword that could fall and behead her at any moment.
Looking at the magical girl whose legs were trembling slightly, the crab monster turned his head back with a gloomy expression and looked at Tang Zijun again.
"So, you came here because of her?"
The latest novel is first published here!
"Yes." Tang Zijun did not deny it.
"Hmph, I don't know what your plans are, but that's none of my business. I have only one goal: to completely take over this body and offer more energy to the great God of Darkness."
"Is your goddess named Guna La?"
"What?"
"It's okay, you can continue."
Interrupted from speaking and seeing the guy opposite him disrespecting my god, the crab monster felt a surge of anger.
But now that he was on someone else's turf, he could only suppress his emotions and speak coldly.
"I can entrust this magical girl to you, but I don't want this to happen a second time. Our goals are aligned, and that's undeniable."
Upon hearing this, Tang Zijun's lips curled into a smile. "Do you think I would let you kill someone in public and expose our world to the world?"
The crab monster's face darkened completely. Feeling the other person's gaze constantly scrutinizing him, he realized that the greedy person in front of him didn't seem to be planning to let him go.
"I've already made concessions, are you still planning to attack me?"
As he spoke, the crab monster raised its two enormous pincers, its dark energy surging, and its tone filled with undisguised threat.
"I know this is your home turf, but you should know that I am Sir Skull's subordinate. If you want to mess with me, you'd better think carefully."
