Chapter 444 Special and Special
Back in the reversed world, Tang Zijun was met with Tan Zhixin's gaze.
"How did the chat go?"
"Didn't you hear everything?" Tang Zijun pointed to the mirror floating beside her, which faced Shangguan Su's office.
Tan Zhixin smiled. "I don't have a penchant for eavesdropping on other people's conversations, and besides, this mirror only transmits images, not sounds."
"Actually, it can transmit sound. You just need to briefly open the inversion channel to leave an opening for sound transmission. I haven't specifically learned how to do it, but Hyacinth used to secretly watch movies using this method."
Tang Zijun said, then turned her head again. "Are you going to come with me to see the Tree of Life, or...?"
"...I won't go." Tan Zhixin shook her head after a moment's thought and said softly. "There are some issues I need to discuss with Director Shangguan, and I also need to check on Shi Yao."
Although Tang Zijun has already shared some information with Shangguan Su, this is just the beginning. Many things will require further communication, and the person to whom this communication is conducted should not be Tang Zijun herself. It would be best to entrust it to another person in the team.
Ideally, it would be best for Deputy Director Chang to handle this matter, since the other party is just an ordinary person (in the eyes of others) and holds a high position in the Demon Surveillance Bureau, making it much easier for him to communicate with them.
However, given his special status, after such an incident at the Magic Supervision Bureau, Shangguan Su will most likely bring back a blue-level magical girl as a defensive force. In this way, Chang Lei's risk of being exposed will be much greater.
Of course, strictly speaking, Chang Lei's identity as a greedy person can be made public, since he has reformed and has never harmed anyone else.
However, if his identity is made public, he will definitely lose his position as deputy director, and he will also be unable to help Tang Zijun communicate, because at that time, he himself will need to find someone to communicate with.
So, thinking of this, Tang Zijun didn't say much, he just nodded slightly. "Be careful. Although the mechanical side is unlikely to act rashly, no one can say for sure if they might go crazy."
"Don't worry." Tan Zhixin smiled and waved goodbye to Tang Zijun.
Watching the other person's graceful figure disappear into the reverse passage, Tang Zijun slowly withdrew her gaze, turned her head, and with a flash, headed straight for the mirror world.
Unlike other orderly worlds, the Reverse World is filled with interconnected dimensional passages, and as the actual controller of this dimension, Tang Zijun can easily use these passages to temporarily construct a passage to her destination.
This method is also the reason why Tang Zijun can instantly return to the mirror world no matter where she is.
In fact, Tang Zijun had wanted to have a good talk with the Tree of Life for a while, but she was always held back by various troubles.
He clearly had time to communicate properly when he was helping Shiyao regain his human form, but unfortunately, he didn't know about the existence of the Gods of the Era at that time.
This time, Tang Zijun decided to thoroughly investigate the secrets of the gods, but she wondered how much of this the Tree of Life still remembered.
When Tang Zijun arrived at the Tree Crown Royal City, Qin Nan had already been waiting there for a long time.
Of course, she didn't do nothing. The Flower Fairy Clan kindly prepared honey and tea for her, and even Little Gray got some, with plenty of grains laid out in front of him.
When Tang Zijun saw Xiao Hui, he looked somewhat surprised—now he finally realized what he had forgotten.
Little Grey clearly saw through Tang Zijun's thoughts and couldn't help but scream, "I'm telling you, you guys are going too far! You said it was just a simple trip to the anime convention, how come everyone's gone after we got there?!"
"An accident, an accident," Tang Zijun said with a forced smile.
When I went to the comic convention before, pets were not allowed inside, so several spirit beasts, including Xiaobai and Xiaoqing, were left in the hotel. It was only because Xiaobai had the ability to transform into human form that Gaodi would have caused some trouble.
Although these spirit beasts have gradually been accepted by the public since the magical girl was revealed, Xiao Qing is still a venomous snake, and it can still cause some panic if not handled carefully.
Qin Nan didn't care much. To her, it didn't matter whether she was exposed or not, since the people from the Demon Surveillance Bureau would handle things cleanly anyway.
Seeing Tang Zijun approach, Qin Nan quickly stood up. "How's it going on your end? Did Shangguan Su give you any trouble?"
"Why is she making things difficult for me?" Tang Zijun blinked, then suddenly realized something and chuckled. "She's just an ordinary person. She can't sense the aura of a greedy person on me. Besides, she has high standards and a deep mind. She won't define me as a villain just because I carry the energy of an evil force."
"You mean I have low standards and a narrow mind?" Qin Nan pouted.
"No way, you're just very vigilant." Tang Zijun walked to the table, picked up her cup, and took a sip. "Mmm! It's really delicious. I'll make some for Tang Cao to try another day."
"Tch...you changed the subject pretty quickly." Qin Nan turned her face away, then continued, "So, you're all settled on your end? What about Sister Tan? Didn't she come back with you?"
"It's not exactly nothing, there was a bit of an unexpected incident. I guess it will take Director Shangguan some time to accept my presence. Qingnang will go and communicate with her further."
"Something went wrong? What kind of accident?" Qin Nan couldn't help but ask.
Based on her understanding of Tang Zijun, anything he called an "accident" must definitely not be a trivial matter.
"I was originally planning to go directly to Director Shangguan with Tan Zhixin, but we didn't expect that Director Shangguan would be assassinated by the omnics as soon as we arrived. The attackers acted very quickly and seemed to be unaffected by the world barrier." Tang Zijun briefly summarized what had just happened.
"Assassination!?"
"Unaffected by the world barrier? How is that possible?" Hyacinth stared wide-eyed in disbelief. Her talent as a flower fairy made her extremely sensitive to space, and she was well aware of how difficult it was to cross the barriers between worlds.
"I find it strange too, but that's how it is," Tang Zijun said, arms crossed. "I suspect that the omnics have already begun their infiltration, but we just haven't noticed."
"Even an invasion needs a method, right? Before, they attacked using Zorin's arms and head, so what are they relying on this time—Zorin's body?"
"It doesn't necessarily have to be Suolin. Although she's special, she's not some rare find. It's not like she's some kind of time-traveling material..."
"However, Zorin's body is indeed missing, and don't you find it strange that Zorin's head couldn't summon androids in the dream world, but when we brought her to the real world, she could open a virtual channel to summon androids."
Upon hearing this, Tang Zijun thought for a moment and then said in a deep voice, "The special nature of the dream world shouldn't need much discussion, right? Don't forget, if it weren't for Langya and Katie, no one in this world could enter that world in their physical form."
"So you mean the channels opened by Langya are more powerful than the information transmission capabilities of those androids?" Qin Nan asked.
Tang Zijun first nodded, then shook her head. "Yes and no. I don't think these two points are comparable at all, because fundamentally they are two completely different concepts."
"One is a channel opened by special energy, and the other is a channel opened based on changes in matter. Rather than saying which one is stronger, it is more accurate to say that the reverse channel is more special than the virtual channel."
"After all, although the Reverse World is mostly made up of matter, it is still filled with a large amount of supernatural energy. Otherwise, greedy people like Lao Chang would not have been born. The Wasteland World is different. It is a pure material world without any supernatural energy."
"I understand." Qin Nan stroked his chin thoughtfully. "In other words, because of the extraordinary energy, the connection between the dream world and the reverse world is much stronger, while the wasteland world, lacking extraordinary energy, cannot reach the dream world through its passageways."
That's roughly the idea.
"Then why can the wasteland world invade the real world?" Qin Nan asked again. "If that's the case, shouldn't the real world also be classified as a supernatural world?"
"Because..." Tang Zijun raised an eyebrow. "Because the real world is also an extremely special world."
