Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Chapter 329 The Zhang Family

Chapter 329 Going Home

"That's amazing!"

Tangcao leaned against the window, looking out at the view outside, which was clearly on a completely different level from the interior. The interior was vertical, but the view outside appeared horizontal, as if they were on two different gravity systems.

She didn't even feel the pressure on her eardrums when the train accelerated, let alone gravity.

"Don't forget, we appear to be on a moving train, but in reality, we're hidden in the surface world, a dimension completely different from reality," Qin Nan explained, though a hint of curiosity lingered in her eyes.

The last time they experienced this, they were terrified and didn't get to fully enjoy the feeling. This time, however, it's different. Riding a train high in the air is a rare opportunity for many.

Katie noticed their surprise. Although she didn't understand what was so exciting about it, she still whispered, "My true form is located in a spatial rift. Everything inside the car is under my control. I control the gravity, magnetism, and forces here."

"Wow, that's amazing!" Tangcao's eyes sparkled. "So, does that mean you can not only fly in the sky, but also sail on the sea?"

"Of course," Katie nodded.

"Wait a minute." Suddenly, Qin Nan remembered something. "You just said that you control everything inside the car, so doesn't that mean you're invincible as long as you're inside the car?"

"Hmm...you can't say that." Katie thought carefully for a moment, then spoke. "My rules only apply to the interior of the car; external factors have no effect on them..."

Perhaps realizing her explanation was a bit hard to understand, Katie continued, "For example, if I applied ten times the gravity inside the car, that gravity wouldn't affect you; it would only affect the things inside the car itself."

"The things inside the car itself?" Qin Nan was still a little confused.

Seeing this, Katie casually clapped her hands, and then a piece of chocolate appeared on the table in the carriage. Judging from the packaging, it should also be a product of the last century.

Then, Katie said softly, "I've changed the gravity here now, you can try picking it up."

"I'll give it a try!" Tang Cao rolled up her sleeves and immediately reached out to grab the chocolate.

The next moment, the thumb-sized chocolate, which he remembered as something easily obtainable, seemed to be welded to the table, and no matter how hard Tang Cao tried, he couldn't pick it up.

Seemingly feeling that two fingers were not enough to exert force, Tangcao simply pushed it horizontally to the edge of the table, then caught it from below with one hand while continuing to move it with the other.

As the chocolate landed in her hand, a weight as heavy as a bucket struck her, causing Tangcao to jerk violently. She then had to use both hands to pull it up.

"It's so heavy! This is definitely not the weight of chocolate."

"I didn't change the weight of the chocolate, but rather its gravity inside the car. These rules can't affect you, but in some situations, they can, such as when you want to eat chocolate," Katie explained calmly.

"So that's how it is, what an amazing method..."

"Stop being so amazing, stop it now, I'm going to kill you!!" Before Tangcao could finish speaking, she heard Curly-Ears' angry beak growl from the ground beside her.

Seeing this, Katie quickly clapped her hands again, stopping the special gravity manipulation on the train's interior.

Curly-Eared Rabbit suddenly felt a sense of relief, shook its head, and scrambled to its feet, fuming. "I said if you're going to show off, at least do it another way! Didn't you see there were other people in the car... Rabbit?! I almost died, you know that?!"

"Sorry, I'm not used to your presence yet," Katie said calmly, though her tone lacked any real remorse. "Waaaaah! Apologize properly!" Curly Ears angrily punched Katie's ankle.

"Speaking of which... what's the principle behind this?" Xiaobai asked curiously, looking at the helplessly furious Curly-Ears. "Why are you affected by gravity, Curly-Ears?"

"I guess it's because Katie awakened as a magical girl, and Curly Ears, being a spirit beast, was also bound to the Rainbow Crystal Flower as part of the train," Tang Zijun speculated.

"Yes." Katie's emotions clearly fluctuated as she spoke to Tang Zijun. "It's just that, unlike Curly Ears and Time-Space Illusion, I often overlook her presence."

"Spacetime illusions? Do you mean those rulers who live in the surface world?" Xiaobai asked.

"It's the same thing, just called by different names." Katie nodded gently. "The rulers you speak of are nothing more than shadows in history in my eyes, or perhaps you could say they are just a part of my memory."

"Hey, Katie, you said before that your true form is the train, so doesn't that mean your memories refer to...?"

"These must be the people from the memories of this train," Qin Nan said softly. "Passengers, train conductors, security personnel... these are all people who actually visited this train in history."

"What state are they in here? Are they a part of their souls?" Xiaobai's expression was somewhat frightened.

"How could that be? Do you think this is a ghost train?" Qin Nan rolled her eyes at her and said. "I already said it's a phantom from my memories."

I suspect that Katie probably created these rulers herself.

Noticing Qin Nan's gaze, Katie calmly nodded. "They are all embodiments of my will. I usually make them act according to the personalities I remember, but their actions are also in accordance with my wishes."

"A chosen magical girl with a summoning ability, huh?" Qin Nan stared at Katie with envy, and even Little Grey couldn't help but remark. "Other magical girls would find it incredibly difficult to create and summon elemental creatures, but you can summon countless rulers with just a wave of your hand..."

"Summoning magical girl?" Katie didn't quite understand the term.

"It's about the job classifications for magical girls. Don't worry if you don't understand; Nan-neechan will teach you properly when we get home. She's really amazing!"

"She taught me all my knowledge about magical girls!" Tangcao said happily.

Upon hearing this, Katie turned her gaze to Qin Nan.

"It's not as amazing as Tang Cao said, but don't worry, I'll try my best to teach you some magical girl knowledge." Qin Nan waved his hand, then suddenly remembered something. "But speaking of going home... Old Tang, is there a place near your house where the train stops?"

Upon hearing this, the carriage fell into a deathly silence.

Tang Cao, who had just been smiling, belatedly realized something. "Okay, that seems to be it, bro. Where are we going to stop this huge train?"

Tang Zijun's rented apartment is in the city center, so the train can't possibly stop there. Besides, if it did, they wouldn't need to hide anymore; the whole world would probably know they're not ordinary people.

The train station couldn't be stopped either, as it was quite a distance from where Tang Zijun lived, and Katie's body couldn't stray too far from her original form.

Tang Zijun felt a little embarrassed after hearing Qin Nan's words. "No, neither Old Pan nor Director Shangguan reminded me. I was so focused on getting Katie out of there that I completely forgot about it."

"What should we do? Is it too late to move now?" Tang Cao blinked.

Seeing that everyone was starting to feel a headache coming on, Katie paused for a moment, then said softly, "If I can't be discovered by others, I can actually stay underground."

"Talk?" Katie's words instantly drew everyone's attention.

"It's just to block the view of ordinary people, right? If that's the case, stopping underground should be the simplest way, right?" Katie saw that everyone was looking at her and thought she had said something wrong, so she repeated herself.

But what she didn't know was how much impact her simple words had on others.

Tang Zijun was the first to react. "It seems that not only does Katie need to get used to human thinking, but we also need to learn to keep up with the thinking of the previous world."

Everyone knows that the surface world exists in the cracks of the real world, but they still subconsciously treat it as a product of reality. From Katie's perspective, driving underground is no different from driving in the deep sea.

Because the two sides were not originally in the same dimension.

After finding a solution, the train traveled outside Snow City and then suddenly plunged down from the sky, disappearing into the ground amidst the gasps of several lucky passersby who witnessed the scene.

The moment we entered the underground, darkness enveloped the outside of the vehicle. At the same time, rows of lights inside the carriage turned on, illuminating the interior with a dim yellow light, while outside the glass, it remained pitch black.

The train began to vibrate more violently. Although it wasn't serious, the environment did make everyone a little nervous.

"What's wrong with you guys?" Katie asked, somewhat curious.

Qin Nan took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled. "No, it's nothing, just a slight case of claustrophobia. It's too dark outside the window, and we're underground right now, so..."

"Hmm..." Katie thought for a moment, then clapped her hands. "Would this be better?"

Before the words were even finished, the outside of the window suddenly lit up, and then the vast grassland appeared in everyone's sight.

"What the heck!?" Qin Nan suddenly stood up and looked out the window in surprise.

Having gained access to the reversed world, she was certain that the view outside the window was still underground, and the reflection in the car window had nothing to do with the grassland. This feeling, this feeling was like...

"I projected scenes from my past driving experiences onto the car window; hopefully that will make you feel more comfortable?"

"How did you do that?" Tang Cao asked in surprise.

Katie answered truthfully, "As I said before, everything inside the car is under my control."

After playing around for a while, the train soon stopped directly below the house where Tang Zijun lived.

Then, inside the residential area, a manhole cover was carefully pushed open, and Tang Zijun's head slowly peeked out.

After finding no one around, he waved behind him.

"Safety first, let's go!"

Everyone thought it would be difficult to get back to the surface from underground, but to their surprise, Katie simply connected the train's skylight exit to the wellhead.

Just as they were returning to reality one by one from the dimensions of the surface world, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from afar.

Tang Zijun noticed the sound first, but he froze the next second.

He turned his head in disbelief, and not long after, a beautiful figure walked over from around the corner of the building.

Upon seeing the figure, Qin Nan's eyes widened immediately.

"Sister Tan!?"
