Chapter 106 An Even Bigger Secret
At first, Qin Nan and the others were focused on Tang Zijun and did not notice what was in his pocket.
Now, when Tang Zijun took out the rainbow crystal flower, Qin Nan's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the gem in front of him.
"Rainbow crystal flower! Where did you get that?!"
What do you think?
Tang Zijun asked helplessly, then placed the rainbow crystal flower in Qin Nan's hand and continued.
"The place I went to this time was a little different from the previous ones. There was a group of things that looked like 'Dominators' there. It looked very strange, and there were also traces of human habitation. That's where I found these things."
"Are you alright?" Little Grey asked with a worried expression.
"Thankfully, that thing couldn't hurt me, but I don't think I could hurt it either. I chased it all the way through a primeval forest before it finally cooperated with me. Sigh, I should have worn a pair of sneakers."
Tang Zijun felt a pang of heartache looking at her nearly worn-out slippers. After running for so long, she was afraid she couldn't wear them anymore. She really didn't know how those people in anime managed to fight monsters while wearing slippers.
Tang Zijun did not become extravagant and wasteful because of his financial freedom; the habit of being frugal and managing the household well is ingrained in his DNA.
Hearing his words, Xiao Hui and Qin Nan exchanged a glance.
Wow, that's a lot of information.
"Can you confirm the identity of this thing? For example, which magical girl it previously belonged to? Perhaps you could ask that Master Qingnang?"
"I'm afraid that's impossible." Qin Nan shook his head.
"The Rainbow Crystal Flower is not only the power of magical girls, but also the origin of nature. If something like this loses its host, it will instantly vanish and turn into pure natural energy, and it will not be preserved at all."
"So you mean the owner of this rainbow crystal flower is still alive?" Tang Zijun's eyes flickered.
Qin Nan hesitated for a moment, then slowly sighed.
"While I'd love to speculate from that angle, but..."
She infused her magic into the rainbow crystal flower, and then the surface of the gem began to shimmer faintly. Soon, a withered plant symbol appeared.
"Generally speaking, a Rainbow Crystal Flower cannot be activated by another magical girl if it has an owner, but this Rainbow Crystal Flower is clearly ownerless. Most importantly, its internal magic power is being depleted, which is proof that its host is dead."
"After a magical girl sacrifices herself, the Rainbow Crystal Flower usually begins to crack, but this one... seems a little off."
Suddenly, Xiao Hui remembered something and couldn't help but speak up. "Sister Nan, you forgot, you were talking about magical girls dying in battle."
"You mean," Tang Zijun realized at this moment, "that the owner of this rainbow crystal flower didn't fight the enemy, but rather..."
Little Grey sighed softly, looking somewhat dejected.
"I'm afraid there's only one possibility left. The Rainbow Crystal Flower is the source of magical girls' power, and they would never give it up under any circumstances. The fact that you found it proves that its owner was killed long ago."
"The most crucial question is, how did this thing end up in that place? Could it be that a magical girl has touched that area before?" Qin Nan frowned.
Tang Zijun pondered, her gaze falling on Xiaobai.
He still remembered the bizarre dream Xiaobai had during the memory transfer: a giant monster and a magical girl squad to fight against it.
If all of this happened in a dream world, then there would be a reasonable answer to this question. But the problem is that they have no way of knowing who the owner of this rainbow crystal flower is.
Qin Nan looked at the rainbow crystal flower in her palm and felt that the small gemstone was heavy.
"This magical girl was at least a Green-level in life, which is considered extremely strong even among magical girls. To be able to kill her silently before she transformed, heaven knows what she went through in that world."
Tang Zijun thought of the group of red-robed figures she had encountered before. Those guys were indeed very strange, but even they shouldn't be able to kill a senior magical girl.
Any magical girl who can reach the Green rank has, without exception, experienced numerous chaotic situations. Tang Zijun doesn't believe that they would be so easily ambushed if they were in that position.
In other words, there is a high possibility that something else is hidden in that forest, something even more bizarre and powerful.
Just then, the sound of a key turning in the lock came from outside.
Upon hearing the noise, Qin Nan quickly returned the rainbow crystal flower to Tang Zijun and stood up reflexively.
Tang Zijun was also taken aback for a moment, then put the rainbow crystal flower in her pocket. "Let's put this aside for now. The most important thing right now is to investigate Sir Skull."
"Um."
Qin Nan nodded heavily and started walking outside.
As soon as she stepped out of Tang Zijun's bedroom, she ran into Tang Cao and Su Siyao who were entering.
For no apparent reason, Qin Nan suddenly felt like she had been caught doing something wrong. Her body stiffened, and she didn't dare to look at Tang Cao.
"We're back!"
The latest novel is first published here!
Tang Cao seemed oblivious to anything amiss. She simply picked up the two large bags she was carrying, while Su Siyao behind her was panting heavily, carrying five or six packages.
"I bought some food on the way. Nan-jie, you can take it with you when you leave. By the way, what are you guys doing?"
"Uh... I, we..."
Qin Nan stammered, unsure how to answer.
Just then, she saw Little Gray fly out from above and quickly spoke up.
"Your brother and I are playing with birds."
boom.
In the bedroom, Tang Zijun, who was changing his shoes and preparing to go out, almost tripped and fell, but luckily he managed to grab the door frame in time.
Qin Nan realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly added something.
"I'm playing with my bird."
"Stop talking, you're making things worse!" Tang Zijun slapped Qin Nan on the back of the head and walked out speechlessly. "We're teaching Qin Nan's parrot to talk. Come on, Xiao Hui, show them."
How fast is Little Gray's reaction?
"Wishing you prosperity! Wishing you prosperity!"
Wow, that's amazing!
Tangcao clapped enthusiastically.
Although she knew that Little Grey was a spirit beast, she knew that her brother was unaware of this.
Anyone who encounters such a clever parrot as Little Grey would be tempted to teach it to talk, and Tangcao is also very happy to see her senior and older brother playing together so quickly.
However, Su Siyao narrowed her eyes slightly.
His gaze lingered on Qin Nan for a long time, and he breathed a slight sigh of relief only after seeing that her clothes were not wrinkled.
