Chapter 442 Open and Honest
Ten years...
Shangguan Su's fingers trembled slightly.
Looking at the man in front of her who was pretending to be nonchalant, she suddenly didn't know how to say the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Shangguan Su, who is usually good at maintaining her composure, rarely loses control of her emotions.
Her mind was flooded with information about Tang Zijun, those files that were classified as top secret by the Demon Surveillance Bureau. At this moment, she didn't know how much of it was true and how much was false.
Recalling the formidable fighting power displayed by the opponent with a wave of his hand, as well as that miraculous transformation, Shangguan Su shook her head slightly.
"No wonder you are unaffected by the dream world. I thought you were a special individual among humans, but I never expected... the answer is right there in the riddle itself."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it."
"Is that so?" Shangguan Su's lips curled up. She didn't believe that Tang Zijun hadn't done it on purpose, but she knew that the other party must have a good reason for doing so.
After a pause, Shangguan Su took a step forward and walked to the broken window, gazing at the city outside.
"So, the demise of the Greedy Ones seven years ago was also your doing?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Zijun looked at Shangguan Su with some surprise, her gaze becoming somewhat subtle, as if she hadn't expected the other party to react so quickly.
"It's not hard to guess," Shangguan Su said softly. "Regarding the Greedy Ones, many magical girls have been searching for clues for many years. You know, many of them have blood feuds with magical girls."
"After I took charge of establishing the Magic Supervision Bureau, I also mobilized some resources to investigate the past of the Greedy Ones. Whether it was combat records, the statements of magical girls, or information about the Flower Fairy, all the clues pointed to one result: the Greedy Ones were wiped out seven years ago."
As she spoke, Shangguan Su gently turned her head.
"For seven years, no one has walked in reality. Even the heretics, who are also evil forces, could not find any trace of the greedy one. We have always been curious about what the greedy one has encountered."
"And your appearance is the final piece of the puzzle."
"When you saved me just now, you did it through the inverted channel reflected on the computer screen, right?"
Tang Zijun paused for a moment, then calmed herself and slowly nodded.
In fact, Tang Zijun had given a lot of thought to the issue of exposing her identity.
The most crucial element is the ability to freely enter and exit the reversal channel.
The magical ability to travel through mirrors not only means that he controls a special world, but also that he can threaten anyone. Tang Zijun is unsure how others will treat him, which is why he has not chosen to go public with it.
On the surface, the Flower Fairy Clan currently controls the Mirror Dimension. Due to their special nature, the Demon Bureau cannot interfere with their actions, because for the Demon Bureau, forming an alliance with them is far better than pushing them to other countries.
This is a unique form of diplomacy, and it's something we can't avoid, since on the magical side, humans currently need the help of the flower fairies more.
But I'm different; I have an ID card.
Unlike the Flower Fairy Clan, I, who possess the ability to traverse reverse passages, seem to be "significantly easier to control."
Shangguan Su clearly noticed Tang Zijun's thoughts, but instead of immediately pointing it out, she casually asked, "I'd like to know, since you've already concealed your identity, why did you choose to reveal it at this time? Is it related to that guy from earlier?"
Tang Zijun glanced at the wreckage of the omnic on the ground, but didn't deny it. "I guess so..."
Tang Zijun then briefly recounted her experiences over the past period, including the woman head Suo Lin from the dream world, the arm Xiao Yue discovered, and the transmigrator Fang Xin, among other unavoidable figures.
In some ways, the wasteland world is more unique than other worlds.
The real world and the mirror world are both based on the real world and are influenced by various powerful negative energies. The shadow world, on the other hand, is formed from the many divine realms that symbolize death in ancient times. In this respect, the wasteland world is probably more like a dream world.
They are all singular, self-contained, and pose a far greater threat to reality than people imagine.
On one side is a dream world with countless gods and extraordinary abilities, and on the other side is a wasteland world known as the end of technology, possessing all kinds of future technologies.
Neither of these two is something Tang Zijun could handle on her own.
As Shangguan Su listened to Tang Zijun's introduction, her brows furrowed even more deeply.
"I thought the greatest enemy was the heretical demons, but I never expected there to be two such great Buddhas outside this world..."
'
"I originally thought I could get rid of those guys secretly as much as possible, but... judging from this assassination attempt, they've already started to act, and they're doing it much faster than I expected."
"That guy was coming for me," Shangguan Su pondered. She remembered that he had given her his name before launching the attack. "I'm afraid our information has been leaked..."
Halfway through her sentence, Shangguan Su suddenly realized something.
Information leaks have happened before within the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. On that occasion, the Bureau mobilized many hackers, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not find any clues about the missing information.
This matter has always been an unsolved mystery within the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, but now it seems that if the enemy is using futuristic technology that is incomprehensible to the general public, it would not be difficult to steal intelligence without anyone noticing.
"What do you think their purpose is?" Shangguan Su asked.
"Extraordinary energy, human experimentation. I've dealt with that guy. He was born in a world without extraordinary energy. They are very likely to continue invading our world until they take it over."
"In other words, similar assassinations will continue." Shangguan Su stroked her chin, her brow furrowed. "And we have no way of knowing who their next target will be."
"It's not impossible to be certain," Tang Zijun said thoughtfully. "Although we don't know how they bypassed the world barrier, their actions show that they can't launch a large-scale attack. If they are truly unaffected, then the number of omnics they assassinated couldn't have been just one."
"Hmm..." Shangguan Su nodded slightly.
After learning about Tang Zijun's experiences during this period, she understood that once those high-tech robots made a move, it would be a hive of thousands of them attacking, and it was impossible for them to just send out one intelligent robot.
Having figured this out, Shangguan Su looked up and asked, "You mean, the next assassination attempt will primarily target important figures in the Magic Surveillance Bureau, and the magical girl who possesses extraordinary energy?"
"It's highly likely," Tang Zijun nodded. "If the other side really intends to launch a full-scale invasion of the real world, these people will be the biggest obstacle to their attack. To weaken our combat power, assassinating them in advance is the best way."
"However, given that their actions have already been exposed, I think they will probably not act rashly for some time to come unless they are absolutely certain of success."
Hearing Tang Zijun's words, Shangguan Su breathed a slight sigh of relief, but her heart was still not completely at ease.
"I've only ever heard of being a thief for a thousand days, not guarding against thieves for a thousand days. We can't guarantee that we'll be on guard against assassination anytime, anywhere, especially when the other party can reach us through the internet."
"I understand," Tang Zijun said in a deep voice. "So I will try my best to distract them and keep them from being distracted. You should also take precautions on your side so that everyone in the bureau is mentally prepared."
"That's natural, but..." Shangguan Su paused, her eyes turning to Tang Zijun beside her. "If you could persuade the Flower Fairy Clan to send more people to provide support, I think the situation would be much better."
Tang Zijun looked at Shangguan Su with surprise in her eyes.
Shangguan Su laughed and said, "Since you can kill all the greedy people by yourself, you must know about the Flower Fairy Clan who are currently living in the Mirror World. The fall of the Tree Crown Royal City was probably orchestrated by you, right?"
"Now that I'm recalling some of your files, I've suddenly discovered a lot of interesting things. In the files, you've always been portrayed as a very mediocre person. Even after graduating from university, you didn't choose a particularly good job. You should know that with your grades, there was no need for you to be getting full attendance on the website."
"Ahem...—" Tang Zijun's face stiffened. "Hobby, hobby."
Shangguan Su ignored Tang Zijun's change in expression and continued, "You just said that you have had this ability for ten years, and the Greedy Ones were all wiped out by you seven years ago, which means that you have been dormant for seven years."
"If we compare it with Shiro's file, we'll find that you were completely unaware of the existence of other magical girls and evil forces during those seven years, until your sister became a magical girl, and that's when you returned to the scene, right?"
