Chapter 333 Katie's Condition
A slipper hit the bullseye, and seeing all the eyes on her, Qin Nan's cheeks flushed slightly. She then explained somewhat awkwardly.
"I'm angry that they discussed confidential matters without inviting me!"
"is that so?"
"That's it!" Qin Nan said with a serious expression.
Seeing her expression, Tang Cao also seemed to be deep in thought. "What you're saying seems to make sense. We were the ones who encountered the Shadow Woman's attacks these past few times, so why didn't she let us hear when she shared the information? I have a feeling that my brother is hiding something from me."
"They're probably worried you won't be able to handle it, since the Shadow Woman has a lot of backstory," Xiaobai guessed.
"What's with the worry? You just don't believe in my abilities," Tang Cao snorted. "Honestly, you're just an ordinary guy, aren't you? ::"
Tang Cao steered the conversation away, and Qin Nan's attention shifted to Ying Nu.
"No matter what, I was the one who got caught. If we run into each other again, I will definitely not let her get away with it."
"I think we still need to be careful." The little gray wolf fox got up from the floor. "After all, she used to be a magical girl, and she's very familiar with magical girl magic."
"That's true." Little Gray's words reminded Tang Cao. "The saying goes, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.' Right now, the enemy knows a lot about us, but we know nothing about the Shadow Clan."
"That's true, but there are things we don't know either."
"What do you mean?" Tang Cao asked, somewhat puzzled.
Little Grey didn't answer immediately, but instead nodded towards Katie, who was studying the TV remote.
After a pause, he spoke. "This is unprecedented, and it's uncertain whether anyone will ever be able to surpass it. Not only is it lost, but you won't find another person in the entire world who understands it."
It's estimated that even the two creators of Tang Zijun and Chang Lei might not know this.
Upon hearing this, Tang Cao and Qin Nan immediately turned their attention to Katie.
Seeing the sudden silence in the room, Katie calmly raised her head. "What's wrong? Should I not have touched this?"
"That's just a remote control, play with it however you like." Tang Cao waved her hand, then asked curiously, "By the way, Third Sister, what kind of state are you in right now?"
"You call me that quite naturally..."
"What kind of situation?" Ignoring Xiaobai's complaints, Katie thought carefully for a moment and said, "I don't quite understand your question."
"We just want to know the structure of your body, because what you have is something we've never seen before."
"Qin Nan said.
Little Grey, not far away, nodded. "My 'Demon Hunter's Vision' can only see a golden, humanoid light; this has already transcended the level of a living being."
"My body?" Katie looked down at herself and answered truthfully. "I don't know how this happened. It turned out like this after I successfully awakened."
After a moment's hesitation, she continued, "All I know is that I can control everything about this body—height, skin color, size—it's all under my control."
"Please describe the size in detail... I'll give it to you!"
Little Grey was hit head-on by the slippers again.
Qin Nan glared at Little Gray with annoyance, then turned to Katie. "And what about your clothes? Are they under your control too? And are your senses the same as a human's?"
"Clothes are shaped by me and are naturally under my control. As for the senses, I don't know how humans are, but I can certainly increase or decrease my hearing and vision at will."
"This is a complete intelligent robot," Xiaobai exclaimed. "I remember you said before that the train was the real body, so isn't your current body constructed from magic? It should be similar to Xiaobai's 'Magic Body,' right?" Tangcao looked at Xiaobai.
"I feel quite different." Little White leaped onto the coffee table. "The 'Magic Body' refers to using magic to modify my body..."
In other words, if I were injured, it would be reflected in my true form, but this... this isn't my true form at all.
"Right!" Tang Cao blinked and asked, "Third Sister, what would happen if this body of yours was injured or suffered a huge attack?"
"I don't know what 'injury' means," Katie said calmly. "But if I were to take a massive attack, I might disintegrate and then reassemble into a new body inside the train."
"Mmm... This has its own respawn point!" Tang Cao exclaimed in astonishment. The fact that it could be resurrected inside the train after being killed was simply too buggy! What's the difference between this and a game player? If the enemy couldn't cross the dimensions of the surface world to attack the train, wouldn't Katie be impossible to kill?
Meanwhile, Qin Nan stroked his chin. "I think I understand now. I always thought Katie was a chosen summoning magical girl..."
But in fact, I overlooked a crucial issue: the "Katie" before me is itself a summoned entity.
Seeing that Tang Cao looked puzzled, Qin Nan continued.
"Katie is that train, always has been. The Katie we see before us is merely a humanoid elemental being sculpted by the train's magic."
As she spoke, Qin Nan looked at Katie again.
"Katie, you can sculpt more than just this one body, can't you?"
Hearing Qin Nan's question, Katie nodded slightly. "With sufficient magic power, I can create hundreds of bodies, but they still can't stray too far from the train."
"Look," Qin Nan said, spreading his hands.
"Amazing!" Tang Cao exclaimed sincerely, but she quickly realized something. "Wait, if you maintain this posture indefinitely, won't you be constantly consuming your magic power?"
"Actually, it's not too bad. Maintaining a low-consumption state doesn't consume much magic power, and Tang Zijun prepared some dark crystals for me."
"With those dark crystals as fuel, I can replenish my energy at any time," Katie said calmly, as if she were talking about something very ordinary.
However, her words sounded like a thunderclap to others.
Using dark crystals to replenish magic power is simply absurd, although many magical girls do use dark crystals for training.
But Katie is the first person to use Dark Crystals as blue potions.
"Speaking of my brother, why isn't he back yet?" Tang Cao frowned. "Even if he has something important to discuss, this is taking way too long."
Hearing this, Xiaobai licked its paws and casually said, "Do you guys think Tang Zijun is on a date with Tan Zhixin?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room displayed a variety of expressions.
After a moment, Tang Cao spoke hesitantly.
"...No way, right? Although Sister Tan is very beautiful, they've only known each other for a short time, how could things have progressed so quickly?"
Qin Nan secretly twitched the corners of her mouth, thinking to herself that Tang Zijun and Sister Tan had known each other for quite some time, much longer than you know, but she didn't say anything on the surface.
Katie's expression changed slightly. "What do you mean by 'dating'?"
"Uh... how should I explain this?" Tang Cao opened her mouth, she really didn't know how to describe this to Katie, this non-human creature.
Just as Tang Cao was deep in thought, the sound of a key turning a lock came from outside.
Upon hearing this sound, Tang Cao immediately jumped up.
"My brother's back!"
The group got up and went to the lobby, where they saw Tang Zijun carrying large and small bags, along with Tan Zhixin and Su Siyao beside him.
"Yaoyao!" Tang Cao excitedly grabbed Su Siyao's hand. "I was just about to send you a message."
"Go inside first, don't all crowd here." Tang Zijun waved his hand, and after changing his shoes, he went straight to the refrigerator. He had just bought some ice cream wholesale, and it wasn't frozen properly. If he didn't put it in the freezer soon, it would really melt.
After closing the refrigerator door, Tang Zijun turned around curiously. "Tang Cao, did you fix the landlord's air conditioner?"
"No, I lowered the temperature myself," Tangcao's voice came from the living room.
Since revealing her identity as a magical girl to Tang Zijun and Su Siyao, she has become increasingly accustomed to using magic in her daily life.
Upon hearing this, Tang Zijun raised an eyebrow. This would indeed save a lot on electricity bills. Although he didn't lack the money, saving a little was always a good thing, not to mention it would allow Tang Cao to hone her magic.
Hearing the excited chatter from everyone in the living room, Tang Zijun turned and walked into the kitchen. Looking at the familiar surroundings, he smiled and picked up a kitchen knife. "Dad's home."
Because of the tight schedule, Tang Zijun didn't cook any dishes that required a long stewing time. Instead, she quickly stir-fried a few simple home-style dishes. Although they were simple, there were enough for everyone to eat.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was fairly good.
Tan Zhixin was originally a gentle person, and Katie was not very talkative, so it was basically Tang Cao and Su Siyao who were the two atmosphere-maker chatting. However, for some reason, Qin Nan, who was usually very active, was rather silent today.
She seemed to have a knack for the food in front of her, and ate several bowls in a row.
What surprised everyone the most was that Katie could actually eat and even taste the food.
After Tang Cao's explanation, everyone now understands Katie's condition. The fact that an elemental creature has the same five senses as a human is something that even Tan Zhixin couldn't help but find interesting.
After a satisfying meal, Tang Zijun leisurely strolled back to her bedroom.
Upon seeing this, Katie quickly followed.
She was quite reserved when Tang Zijun wasn't around, but now she's really curious about Tang Zijun's bedroom.
To Katie's surprise, as soon as she entered, she saw Tang Zijun slumped over the computer desk, motionless as if she had fainted.
Upon seeing this, Katie was taken aback at first, and then quickly went over to her.
"Don't touch him."
Just as Katie was about to check on Tang Zijun's condition, a voice suddenly rang out from behind her.
Looking back, Qin Nan appeared at the doorway.
Her expression turned slightly serious as she spoke softly.
"This feeling... there's no mistake, he's entered the dream world again."
