Chapter 31 Showdown
Half an hour later, Tang Zijun and Xiaobai returned home.
Why did it take half an hour? Mainly because both the person and the cat were watching the mantis beast's corpse decompose.
Otherwise, if someone were to inexplicably walk into an unfinished building and suddenly see the corpse of such a monster, it would cause quite a stir online if it were posted on Douyin, Kuaishou, or Bilibili.
Of course, there aren't many people in that place, so the probability of such a thing happening is not high.
Moreover, even if someone does discover it, the body will probably be decomposed by the time he finishes recording the video, leaving no evidence. Even if there is a video, it can be claimed to be AI-generated.
However, we still need to be rigorous when necessary, because according to Xiaobai, the corpses of these strange beasts are extremely corrosive to the human body. Don't misunderstand, this corrosiveness is not directed at the body, but at the mind.
If a person stays near the decomposing carcass of a strange beast for an extended period of time, or comes into contact with these substances intentionally or unintentionally, they will soon experience nightmares, insomnia, loss of appetite, and in severe cases, auditory hallucinations.
Tang Zijun went to the living room to pour herself a cup of tea, then sat back down on the sofa in her slippers.
Xiao Bai sat upright in the corner of the sofa, occasionally glancing cautiously at Tang Zijun. When Tang Zijun turned to look at her, she would pretend to look away nonchalantly.
I don't know if it's because she went through too much this morning, which drained a lot of her brain cells, but she didn't say a word on the way back.
Tang Zijun simply smiled slightly at this.
"I know what you're thinking. Perfect timing, since Tangcao isn't here, let's have an open and honest talk."
Upon hearing Tang Zijun's words, Xiaobai turned her gaze back, her expression a mixture of complex emotions and fear.
If Tang Zijun's initial handling of those Netherworld Scum only surprised Xiaobai, then the scene of him later cleaving the alien beast in two with a single sword strike was enough to make Xiaobai a little uneasy.
How can someone claim the opponent is strong while instantly killing them with a single strike?
"Let me reintroduce myself. My name is Tang Zijun, and I'm Tang Cao's older brother." Seemingly noticing Xiaobai's reluctance to speak, Tang Zijun continued, "Or you can call me Kamen Rider."
"Kamen Rider?"
Xiao Bai blinked, staring at Tang Zijun with some suspicion.
This world is not devoid of Kamen Rider tokusatsu; the Kamen Rider series that Tang Zijun remembers are still available online, and magical girl anime also exists.
In fact, Tang Zijun had a dark secret buried deep in his heart: he had actually thought about transforming into a wolf rider to film a movie or TV series.
However, this is just a thought. If this power were exposed, he would probably never have a moment's peace again for the rest of his life.
As a cat, Xiaobai naturally hadn't watched much human television, so Tang Zijun shrugged and said gently.
"This must be the first time you've ever seen this kind of power. In fact, it was only from that night that I learned that magical girls really exist in this world. I originally thought you were just anime characters."
Xiao Bai's eyes flickered, and she quickly realized what Tang Zijun meant by "that night".
To her surprise, she didn't sense Tang Zijun following her at all, and not only her, but even the heretic demon didn't notice his presence.
Then Tang Zijun continued.
"I gained this transformation ability ten years ago. Through the Kamen Rider belt, I can obtain the power of the jungle wolf and the moon. I named this power 'Wolf Rider,' as you just saw."
"Ten years ago!" Xiaobai's eyes widened. "You..."
"Ah." Tang Zijun nodded. "I'm considered a fairly senior warrior, but don't be surprised, in fact, I haven't transformed for many years."
"Why?" Xiaobai asked, puzzled. "You're so powerful, stronger than any magical girl I've ever known. Why can't you contribute your strength to the peace of this world?"
"Because I thought I had already won." Tang Zijun shrugged.
"Huh?" Little White tilted his head.
Looking at the somewhat dazed Xiaobai, Tang Zijun couldn't help but reach out and rub her head. Xiaobai was still a little confused, so she didn't resist.
After having enjoyed being in charge, Tang Zijun slowly began to speak.
"Back then, I was fighting a group of greedy guys who were born in the Reverse World, the dimension I just took you through. Apart from them, I didn't know that there were other evil spirits and magical girls in this world at the time."
"You mean, you've been fighting the greedy one from that reversed world for the past ten years? So, how is that greedy one now?" Xiaobai asked tentatively.
"I told you, I won." Tang Zijun smiled.
"You mean you won!?"
Xiao Bai felt her brain wasn't working properly. After a full five seconds of stunned silence, she finally realized something and let out a sharp, explosive sound.
The latest novel is first published here!
"Eh?!?!?!"
She reached out and patted Xiaobai's head again, interrupting his lapse in composure, and then Tang Zijun said with a light laugh.
"Those greedy beings come from the Mirror Dimension, which is an independent realm in the Reverse World that they created, and it is also their stronghold."
"I have the ability to travel to the inverted world, so ever since I discovered those beings from the mirror dimension, I have been fighting them."
"My battlefield is not in the real world, but mainly in the inverted world that is the opposite of reality. In fact, I don't fight many times in the real world, and therefore, I am unaware of the existence of Outer Path Demons and Magical Girls."
Listening quietly to Tang Zijun's story, Xiaobai remained outwardly calm, but her heart was already in turmoil.
She didn't know anything about the Reversal World, nor did she know about the existence of the Greedy Ones. However, based solely on Tang Zijun's description, she could already deduce that those Greedy Ones were probably similar to the heretical demons.
The battle between magical girls and the Outer Path Demons has been going on for a long time. Although both sides have had their moments of dominance, Xiaobai has never heard of anyone being able to completely eliminate the other side.
And this male human in front of us was actually able to wipe out all the greedy ones!?
Still alone!!
Looking up at Tang Zijun in disbelief, Xiaobai stammered.
"So, you usually... take care of those greedy people before they launch their invasion of the real world?"
"You could say that while the Mirror Dimension is their territory, the Reverse World is my domain, though occasionally some manage to slip through."
At this point, Tang Zijun suddenly realized what was going on.
"So that's why we couldn't find those grunts back then; they were taken care of by magical girls!"
