Chapter 23 The Mystery of Heretics
Xiao Bai's name was decided so hastily, even though she herself was very resistant to the name, but unfortunately neither Tang Zijun nor Tang Cao intended to change it.
Actually, Tang Zijun didn't have any objections to letting the spirit beast Xiaobai live at home.
Rather than letting her stay outside and disappear with her sister all the time, it's better to keep her under my watchful eye, so that I can more easily monitor their actions.
It's one thing to agree to your sister becoming a magical girl, but it's quite another to approve of her becoming one.
Although Tang Cao's performance in her first battle was commendable and she seemed to have quite good fighting talent, her fighting style was still too immature compared to Tang Zijun, who had been through countless battles.
Tangcao's strength lies in her planning skills. In battle, she can often accurately predict her opponent's next move, just like in chess, calculating her opponent's strategy and preparing in advance.
However, this also exposed her weakness: Tang Cao is only good at dealing with the current situation. When the plan changes or something unexpected happens, Tang Cao often starts to act dramatic.
This also proves that Tangcao (唐草) has a relatively poor ability to adapt to changing circumstances.
Another skill that needs to be learned is environmental observation, which means being able to hear and see in all directions. If you can't even tell how many enemies there are before any battle begins, you will obviously put yourself in a dangerous situation.
The previous battles are a good example.
A mere puppet fooled Tangcao and Xiaobai. Xiaobai, being a spirit beast that only follows its senses, was one thing, but Tangcao, as the magical girl primarily responsible for combat, had to consider all possibilities.
Actually, this is also related to experience and knowledge.
When you sense a negative energy output with an energy intensity of 10, but upon arriving at your destination you find only an external demon with an energy intensity of 7 or 8, you should realize something is wrong.
However, all of the above points can be learned. As long as you have enough combat experience, you can gradually develop them.
Tang Zijun felt that Tang Cao's main problem was that her use of magic was still too immature; in simple terms, her skill tree was not yet fully developed.
Although she didn't know much about the profession of magical girl, Tang Zijun believed that the true power of a magical girl was definitely not as simple as firing lasers with magic attributes.
The fact that these people have been able to fight against heretics for so long using magic means they can do much more than just wave their wands.
Thinking of this, Tang Zijun leaned against the headboard and picked up a black gemstone fragment that looked like coal.
Dark Crystal.
This was left behind after the previous crab monster died. It should be the main energy source of the Outer Path Demons, and also the source of their life.
However, the dark crystal in Tang Zijun's hand has now completely lost its energy response and looks no different from a stone fragment.
Tang Zijun frowned slightly as she looked at the strange crystal fragments that didn't reflect light even under the bedroom lamp.
In his early years, when he fought against the Greedy Ones from the Mirror Dimension, similar residues would appear after the Greedy Ones died. However, the difference was that the residues left by the Greedy Ones when they died were various kinds of transparent crystals.
Tang Zijun didn't know what the crystals were made of. He only knew that they weren't worth much money and their only use was as substrate in the fish tank.
The question of how the reversed world was generated is now impossible to answer. It seems that from the moment the world was born, a reversed world corresponding to the real world was created.
The Reverse World is like a mirror reflection of the real world. It is within earshot of reality but remains completely separate from it. Without special powers, one will never be involved in that realm in their lifetime.
Tang Zijun knew that whenever a certain landscape was created in the real world, a completely opposite existence would be born in the reverse world. Similarly, when things in the real world were destroyed, the replicas in the reverse world would also disappear.
This cycle continued for a long time until the negative energy that was floating in the reversed world reached a threshold.
In the beginning, there was no life in the reversed world, only endless energy and the cycle of emotional depravity.
When the negative energy in the real world reached a certain level and affected the reverse world, the first greedy person was born.
He absorbed endless lies and negative energy. From the moment he was born into this world, he had completely lost his positive emotions as a human being, and his body was instead filled with a large number of evil thoughts.
Jealousy, deception, pretense, bloodlust—all the darkest emotions imaginable are the source of that guy's power. And that guy is also the creator of the Mirror Dimension, the god of all greedy people.
Tang Zijun's gaze returned to the dark crystal in her hand, and her eyes gradually deepened.
Since they are enemies of the magical girl faction, in a sense, these heretics from the other world may also have similarities with the greedy ones from the mirror dimension.
According to the information revealed by those crab monsters, the heretics and the greedy ones are aware of each other's existence, and they share the same goal: to invade the real world and seize more energy.
In this initial stage, they were both on the same side and rivals.

Just as the crab monster said, the cake is only so big. If the heretics take a few more bites, the greedy ones will naturally get less.
No wonder the heretics knew nothing about the details of the Greedy Ones' demise. Perhaps for them, the absence of the Greedy Ones would actually expand their hunting grounds.
In this situation, it would be good enough if they didn't set off firecrackers to celebrate; how could they possibly be actively trying to find out how the greedy person disappeared?
However, logically speaking, the fact that the entire Greedy Organization was wiped out by them should have caused a stir in the magical girl community. The Outer Path Demon should have taken action.
So, are there still some hidden secrets that you haven't noticed yet?
Lying quietly in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, Tang Zijun felt a ripple in her heart.
Besides that mysterious other world, there was something else that he couldn't quite understand.
Having fought those guys from the Mirror Dimension for so long, Tang Zijun has never seen a single Greedy One appear in the sunlight, not even a clone or a Greedy One possessing a human body.
The only being capable of standing in the sunlight unaffected is probably the god of the greedy.
The problem is that the crab monster looks like it's only a captain-level being, and it's impossible for it to withstand the erosion of sunlight.
Judging from Qin Nan's reaction, the other party was also quite surprised, which means that this ability is probably not something that heretical demons are born with.
That's a bit strange. What kind of power do those heretics possess that allows them to do things that even the greedy cannot?
