Tang Zijun suddenly felt a little guilty for no reason. She glanced at Tan Zhixin not far away and, seeing that the other woman seemed not to have heard Tang Cao's mutterings, she raised her hand and ruffled Tang Cao's hair.
"Don't talk nonsense. Grilando and I are friends who have shared life and death, revolutionary friends."
"But marrying a wife from another world is really cool!" Tangcao protested, covering her head.
"Cool my ass... Okay, it is pretty cool."
Tang Zijun looked at Tang Cao with annoyance and continued speaking.
"But do you know how troublesome this is? Two people from different worlds, are you planning to let me move in or let her move in? The two worlds don't speak the same language, and there's also the risk of her carrying germs."
Upon hearing this, Tang Cao thought for a moment and said, "It's just troublesome, but not impossible. With the help of the Demon Supervision Bureau, these are not problems. Besides, haven't you already solved the language problem?"
"You don't understand. Different languages mean different cultural habits. You can't see it on the surface, but it's different when it comes to the details of life."
Tang Zijun rubbed Tang Cao's head and chuckled. "Have you forgotten when you first moved here? Our time zones were completely out of sync. I was awake while you were asleep, and you were awake while I was asleep. If we were in the same room, the bed would probably be warm 24/7."
Hearing this, Tang Cao shook her head and broke free from Tang Zijun's grasp. "It's always like this at the beginning, but if two people love each other, they'll overcome these difficulties no matter what."
"Hearing you say that—" Tang Zijun stroked her chin, pondering something in her heart.
"Brother Tang, are you really going to put this into practice?"
At that moment, Su Siyao's weak, emotionless voice came through.
"Huh?" Tang Zijun was taken aback, then immediately realized. "Of course not!"
"Grilando and I have a purely platonic friendship; I consider her a brother."
"But you—"
Just as Tang Cao was about to say something more, Tang Zijun suddenly dashed out first.
"Curl Ear, you're not good at driving this train. Let me try. I'll give you a leaf-falling move."
Watching Tang Zijun's disheveled escape, Su Siyao narrowed her eyes, feeling a pang of sadness, but soon she smiled again.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Curly Ears, who heard Tang Zijun's words, was full of question marks.
What the heck is this "falling leaves" thing?
.
Even in the quiet of the night, Shanghai, known as the city that never sleeps, remains as bustling as it is during the day.
As the Bureau of Demonic Energy's detection of negative energy became more and more accurate, the original curfew was appropriately relaxed.
In today's society, it's completely impossible to go to bed at sunset, let alone in a big city like Shanghai. It's okay to stay home at night for a month or two, but if you do that all the time, you'll probably suffocate.
In addition, due to the presence of multinational corporations and the general environment where people have to work even at night, curfews in China are no longer as strict as they used to be.
Of course, the main reason is the professionalization and formalization of magical girls.
Since the establishment of the Magical Supervision Bureau and the gathering of magical girls from various cities, the Bureau's agents have taken on more than half of the magical girls' daily tasks.
In the past, magical girls not only monitored the creation of gaps, but also needed to patrol and investigate, because sometimes small gaps would appear in the city that could not be detected. Although these gaps could not allow the Outer Path Demons to pass through, they could allow the Underworld Scum to transport the alien beast eggs over.
This is the focus of the magical girl's daily patrols. Because ordinary people cannot see the monster eggs, and they are difficult to detect through negative energy, the magical girl must check them herself and go out to try her luck whenever she has nothing to do.
Once the Bureau of Demon Surveillance's technical department created glasses using dark crystal powder that could see the eggs of alien beasts, the patrol work was completely handed over to the agents of the action team.
It can be said that as long as they don't encounter elite-level or higher monsters, they don't need magical girls to take action against ordinary grunts; the action teams can handle them on their own.
This has greatly improved the safety of various cities. Especially after experiencing a major disaster like the Shadow Disaster, many people hope that the relevant departments can take action as soon as possible to win back the nights that people have lost. Driven by these emotions, the agents of the Demon Surveillance Bureau are working extra hard.
In the midst of this peaceful night market, a semi-transparent, dark gold steam train cautiously peeks out from the underground parking garage.
That's enough for now.
Tang Zijun glanced around at her surroundings, then her gaze fell on Katie.
"You must be exhausted from traveling between different worlds."
"The energy consumption is within a controllable range. On the way back, the Rainbow Crystal Flower will convert some of the broken energy to replenish me, so the consumption isn't too great," Katie said earnestly. After a pause, she muttered to herself, "Besides, it doesn't matter if Katie is a little tired for her brother's sake."
"I can't let you get tired. If those guys from the Demon Surveillance Bureau misunderstand and think I'm abusing you, those old men might fight me to the death." Tang Zijun said, turning to look at Curly Ears. "We're here, open the door."
With a crisp "click" and a metallic scraping sound, the train doors slowly opened, and the two different dimensions of space finally had a brief interaction.
"Phew, it's still warmer here. It's the middle of the night and it's still so stuffy." Qin Nan was the first to walk out. As soon as she got out of the car, she couldn't help but fan herself with her hand.
"You can't compare to the dream world; the laws of nature there are out of control." Tang Zijun crossed her arms and followed her out of the car. "It should cool down after the Beginning of Autumn in a couple of days."
"Come on, even after the end of summer, there's still the 'autumn tiger' (a period of intense heat in autumn). I don't know why, it's been getting hotter and hotter these past few years," Qin Nan said casually, then turned around. "By the way, what are you planning to do next?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Zijun did not speak immediately, but instead turned her gaze to Lao Chang.
Chang Lei yawned. "...I need to go talk to Lao Xue, oh and Captain Xiao too. Captain Xiao's matter is very relevant to me, but I always feel something is off. I haven't had much contact with him before, so if he wakes up this time, it'll be a good opportunity to talk to him."
"I'm going too!" Upon hearing Chang Lei's words, Xiao Xiao, who had been silent until now, immediately raised her hand. "I wonder how my older brother is doing. I want to go see him with Nuomi."
"Okay." Chang Lei didn't refuse, then nodded to Tang Zijun. "Leave this to me, you go and do your thing."
"What are you busy with?" Tang Cao looked at Chang Lei curiously, then at her older brother. "You've finally gotten back, shouldn't you rest first?"
"It's not that easy to have some free time." Tang Zijun smiled. "What happened to Xiao Xiao and me needs to be reported to the higher-ups of the Demon Surveillance Bureau immediately. Xiao Xiao is being handled by Deputy Director Chang, so I'll have to go to the Director myself."
"Ugh...that sounds like a lot of trouble..." Tangcao pouted. "Then...I'll go with you."
"You don't look like you want to come with me at all."
"No way!"
"Don't I know you?" Tang Zijun patted Tang Cao's shoulder. "Alright, you've come all this way to Shanghai, so you and Yao Yao have a good time here. I'm going to report on the situation and don't need anyone to accompany me. I'll come back to you guys after I've sorted things out on my end."
"I'll go with you," Tan Zhixin said, crossing her arms as she walked over. "I also need to go to headquarters."
"Then I'll go too," Qin Nan chimed in.
"Qin Nan, you shouldn't go," Tang Zijun shook her head slightly and said softly. "Go to Tree Crown Royal City and wait for me..."
Qin Nan felt a little uncomfortable when Tang Zijun initially rejected her, but after hearing the rest of the conversation, she didn't show any extra emotion. She simply glanced at Tan Zhixin and nodded gently. "Okay."
"And what about me? And what about me?"
Inside the carriage, Suolin was rolling around on the table.
"You're not going to lock me up with this rabbit, are you? Please, I've finally come to a new world, you have to show me around!"
"Your situation is special," Tang Zijun said, shrugging. "Until your safety is confirmed, you'll have to stay here."
After a pause, Tang Zijun narrowed her eyes slightly.
For some reason, he always felt like he had forgotten something.
Meanwhile, on the other side of Shanghai, in a room at a high-end hotel, a black-haired girl walked barefoot to the door and opened it a crack.
"No need for housekeeping, thank you."
The girl's voice was like a clear spring.
Watching the cleaning lady leave, she gently closed the door, her cat ears twitching slightly, and the girl returned to the inner room of the house.
On the bed, a parrot and a small, bright green snake were both looking at her.
"How is it?"
"I didn't suspect anything." The girl made an "OK" sign with her hand.
"That's good." The little snake breathed a sigh of relief.
The parrot, with a pained expression and wide eyes, spoke helplessly.
"No...have we been forgotten?"
