Start with a rent-collecting magical girl

Chapter 35 Lord of the Nightmare Beast
  "World Tree" TV Tower.

One of the most well-known landmark buildings in City From the top of the tree, you can have a panoramic view of less than half of X city.

The time now is
  A man in black on the top of the tower glanced at the watch on his sleeve.

Three forty-nine in the morning.

Even so, looking down from the top of the tower, the several areas in X City where there are many high-rise buildings, between the brilliant buildings, are still brightly lit and beautiful.

Here are the top medical institutions, the most luxurious nightclubs, the most glamorous Kabuki theater, the most developed urban highway and subway networks, and all the most advanced technologies gathered here. Countless wealth and opportunities are waiting to be discovered. Digging.

This is City X, the metropolis that everyone yearns for.

The man in black dug into the pocket of his windbreaker and took out a cheap cigarette. He tried the old lighter several times before finally lighting it. He took a deep breath and showed an expression of enjoyment. For him, the cloud of tobacco and the millions of people below The light of neon lights is equally charming.

At this time, new footsteps sounded from behind.

Another figure appeared at the top of the tower.

The boy was wearing a hoodie, a leather wallet with studs on it, and a pair of jeans underneath. It could be seen that he wanted to dress more maturely, but unfortunately, his immature face under the hood only made him look like a delinquent.

"What's going on? Can't we talk about it on the phone?" Chen Ziran hurried over with a sleepy look on his face and unhappiness on his brows.

"you are late."

The man in black pointed to his watch.

Chen Ziran didn't think anything was wrong, but the expression on his face became even more impatient.

"Tell me something."

"Just a few hours ago, a stronghold of the organization in District 13 was discovered by people from the Public Security Bureau. We immediately sent a nightmare transformer to silence them, but unfortunately we were unable to remedy the situation."

"Let those gangsters escape?"

"To make matters worse, we also brought the Nightmare Transformer into the mix."

"What!?" Chen Ziran's expression finally changed, and he said with a bit of surprise, "How is this possible, just with the losers of the Sheriff?"

"It's a magical girl."

"Of course, those group of vigilantes are not simple. They have been dealing with the Nightmare Transformers for a long time and even defeated the first form. I think it was delayed for too long before they were sensed by the magical girl who happened to be nearby. Bar."

The man in black shook his head regretfully.

Afterwards, while talking, he took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to Chen Ziran.

The boy took a look at it in confusion, and his eyes widened immediately.

There was no need for the man in black to explain. The photo captured the battle that night. Among the uniforms of a group of police officers, the boy wearing a private uniform could hardly stand out.

"Liao Baiyu?"

"Why is he here?"

The man in black behind him briefly reported the incident to Chen Ziran.

At first, the boys thought that Liao Baiyu had entered by accident.

But the more he listened, the worse his face became. Chen Ziran never imagined that the most critical person who caused such a huge loss to the organization was actually the rich second-generation classmate whom he looked down upon at all?

private detective
  What a joke!
  Chen Ziran clenched the photo in his hand into a ball, and the black light under the lens was pouring out crazily. He turned around and was about to leave, but unfortunately he was quickly stopped by the man in black.

"Where are you going?"

"Kill him, isn't that the reason why you called me here?" Chen Ziran's face was terrifyingly gloomy.

He already disliked tall, rich and handsome people like Liao Baiyu, and the other party seemed to be interested in his childhood sweetheart. Chen Ziran had long wanted to find a chance to get him, but now, after learning that the other party had this other level of identity, he killed My heart can't hold it in any longer.

After all, he does this kind of thing often.

unfortunately
  "Use your brain." The man in black sighed.

As soon as he finished speaking, a palm made of a strange black substance suddenly shot out from Chen Ziran's back.

The palm of his hand grasped the neck of the man in black, and under the impact, the man in black fell directly from the top of the tower, was strangled by the neck, and suspended above the height of 700 meters. "You, say it again?"

An angry voice came, and Chen Ziran's eyes were now completely shrouded in black mist. Weird purple lines crawled onto his skin. These lines intersected with each other and outlined the appearance of pupils on various parts of the body.

The wind howled on the tower, and the terrifying aura quickly spread over the boy. The moonlight above his head lengthened Chen Ziran's shadow. It was not a human shadow, but more like a living nightmare beast.

Obviously, Chen Ziran is also a nightmare person.

And it was outstanding, at least stronger than that weird man who raided the Sheriff's convoy, and had to mutate too much to be "complete".

He did not mutate into a nightmare beast somewhere in his body, but was able to give birth to additional "phantom limbs" similar to the nightmare beast.

The man in black was strangled by the "Claw of the Nightmare Beast" behind Chen Ziran, and was hanging in mid-air on the top of the tower. He might fall to pieces at any time, but he still didn't resist anything, as if he was very calm.

Swish!
  It was Chen Ziran who finally snorted coldly and used his claws to throw the person back.

The man in black coughed several times, and after it subsided a little, he was not angry. Instead, he continued to say to the boy like an elder:
  "Ziran, don't let your emotions control you."

"You are our best nightmare transformer. I am here to remind you that you should try your best to keep a low profile in the near future, hide yourself, and stop using your abilities, especially in front of your classmate. No matter what grudges you have, You have to let go during this period.”

Chen Ziran said nothing, but judging from the expression on the boy's gritted teeth, it was obvious that he was unwilling.

Even though he knew that the other party's advice was right.

The man in black seemed to have expected this. Without stopping his voice, he led Chen Ziran to look down at the night view of City X from the top of the "World Tree".

Among the high-rise buildings, neon lights cast charming colors, making this bustling city that never sleeps look so bright and bright.

No.

Using "this city" to describe it may be a bit one-sided.

This kind of feasting and splendor does not belong to all areas of X city.

For example, Districts 3, 9, and 11, compared to the central areas with rich cores, appear much quieter in the night. Or is "ruined" more appropriate?
  That's right.

This "old world" is unfair.

The major chaebols, companies, and groups have monopolized everything. They enjoy the city's best resources and live in the most luxurious and prosperous areas. The extreme gap between rich and poor is like the city at night, with dazzling scenery on one side and dazzling scenery on the other. It's lonely and dark.

Compared to such a society.

It seems that the "Nightmare Beast Disaster" is no longer so important, at least it can give everyone an "equal" death.

"Zi Ran, you have to remember that you are unique."

"Anyone in the organization can sacrifice the Nightmare Transformer, including me, but only you."

"You are special. You are the destined Lord of the Nightmare Beast in the prophecy of the "Black Dream". You are our greatest hope against the chaebols and companies to liberate this city and overthrow this corrupt old world." !”

"In the future, you will wear a crown, use the power of the Nightmare Beast to become us, and become the leader of the "New World". Have you forgotten these responsibilities and missions that you carry with you?"

After the man in black said these words, it was obvious that Chen Ziran could not calm down for a long time.

The boy clenched his fists and stared at the ant-like city under the tower, as if everything was really being trampled under his feet, and he suddenly felt his heart surge.

King.
  Yes, he is the king of the new world and the master of the nightmare beast.

In front of him with such great power.

Liao Baiyu?
  What does a little rich second generation mean?
  It was like echoing his inner voice.

The man in black walked up to the young man, patted his shoulder, and finally said: "In your future, you will meet many Liao Baiyu like this. Next time, I hope you will not let these insignificant little characters , taking up your energy."

"Let's go back."

"Okay." Chen Ziran nodded heavily and just turned around to leave. When he saw the man in black still standing there, he couldn't help but ask, "What about you? Aren't you leaving?"

"The scenery here is nice. I'll have another cigarette."
