Chapter 245 You've Changed
The black card, like a gemstone, shimmered with an eerie light under the shadows. Fragments of the rainbow crystal flower were printed on the back of the card, and the card face was slightly three-dimensional.
Unlike the previous cards, the black card has a dark hole printed on it, which looks like a cave or a tunnel, with no idea where it leads.
Tang Zijun slightly turned the card, and could vaguely sense a black shadow stretching its tentacles inside the cave, seemingly trying to absorb the light from outside.
Tang Zijun frowned slightly. Although successfully creating a card should have been a happy thing, she couldn't feel happy at all.
The power contained in this card is too weak.
Despite possessing the power of shadow and the earth element of rainbow crystal flowers, this card felt to Tang Zijun that it couldn't even compare to Langya.
Is this the best the Shadow Clan can do right now?
Tang Zijun's gaze was somewhat complicated.
Such energy fluctuations are enough to enter the shadows, but opening a passage into the shadow world might not be so easy.
It makes sense. How could a newly awakened magical girl, even if corrupted by the power of shadow, possibly come into contact with the power of the rules of the shadow world?
The passage connecting the real world and the shadow world, like the reversal passage opened by the greedy, is an ability that involves the very essence of the world.
If the other party can really do that, then there's no need to stay in the invaded surface world.
Furthermore, the Shadow Maiden did not create this creature to die; there was absolutely no need for it to remain in the surface world of Ice City waiting for other magical girls to kill it.
So, what is the other party's self-interest?
Tang Zijun rubbed the card between her fingers, feeling the cool touch from her fingertips. Sensing the polluted earth element, Tang Zijun subconsciously tried to communicate with the magic within.
Immediately afterwards, a black shadow stretched out from the card and quickly formed a small magic circle in the air.
Tang Zijun narrowed her eyes slightly. Although the scene before her was somewhat strange, it was indeed a reaction of magic, the power of a magical girl.
"Magic corrupted by shadows can still unleash magic befitting a magical girl? And... it's even stronger than nature magic!?"
The magic circle emitted a faint black mist, and within that mist, at the hinge points, were strands of silk-like threads that intertwined and connected the broken magic circle.
It is clearly a symbol of the power of natural light, but at this moment, it subtly reveals a sense of calamity.
With the fall of light, shadow has taken over.
And this force did not suppress the light; on the contrary, it gave the light even greater power.
Because the stronger the light, the larger the shadow.
In the evening, Tang Zijun carried a bag of chicken wings and a large bucket of cola home.
"Iced Coke~"
As soon as she opened the door, Tang Zijun's vision blurred, and she saw a white figure rushing towards her.
Tangcao instinctively raised her hand, but the next moment, she missed.
"Ah, give it to me! I want to drink it, iced cola, iced cola!"
Seeing the cola that Tang Zijun held above her head, Tang Cao hopped and skipped to reach for it, but unfortunately, she was still quite a distance from Tang Zijun in height.
Reaching out to cover Tang Cao's head, Tang Zijun said helplessly, "What are you drinking? Didn't you want cola chicken wings? What are we going to make if you drink them all?"
"Just let me have a sip, you bought such a big bucket, you can't even use half of it for cooking, it won't hurt if I drink a little." Tang Cao still stretched out her arm, like a zombie craving brains.
"You said the same thing last time, and before I knew it, you'd finished it all. I ended up having to make another trip. Who knows where that whole tub of Coke went?"
Tang Zijun's gaze swept over Tang Cao's slender waist, and she gently waved her hand.
"No way, no way. If you want to drink, wait until we eat."
"Gurgle~~~"
Tang Cao puffed out her cheeks and glared at Tang Zijun for a while before letting out a soft snort.
"Brother, you've changed."
"You've become more handsome?"
"You've become a stranger to me, you know!"
"Then it must be because I've become more handsome." Tang Zijun changed her shoes, turned around, and walked into the kitchen.
Tang Cao, pulling on her slippers, quickly caught up. "You're no longer the good older brother who always thought of his lovely little sister. Now, you only exude a sense of abandonment, a detachment from the good side of humanity."
"You can tell that?" Tang Zijun gave her a surprised look, tore open the chicken wing packaging, and put it in the bowl.
Tang Cao leaned closer to Tang Zijun. "I can't help but ask myself, if Sister Nan asked you for a Coke, would you be this heartless?"
"...No...what does this have to do with Qin Nan..."
"Hmph! Stop pretending." Tang Cao crossed her arms, like a proud little rooster. "Don't think I can't see through you. You're plotting something against Sister Nan, aren't you?"
Tang Zijun paused, turned around, and placed the back of her hand on Tang Cao's forehead. "No fever, what is this silly child saying..."
Tang Cao slapped Tang Zijun's hand away. "You dare say you didn't! Sister Nan is strong, independent, and beautiful too. How could you, who's been single for so long, resist?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Zijun turned around, picked up a knife, and began to score the chicken wings. "Don't overthink it. My relationship with Qin Nan isn't as complicated as you think."
"So what's your relationship with me?"
"My friend."
Without even thinking, Tang Zijun replied without turning her head, "We were both pulled into the dream world, and then she transformed into a magical girl to save me from danger. Isn't that a kind of friendship where we'd live and die together?"
"As a seasoned loser, when faced with such a ridiculous plot, didn't you ever think of offering yourself in return?" Tang Cao asked suspiciously.
"You said it yourself, it's melodramatic, how could I possibly have such thoughts?" Tang Zijun said. "Besides, I'm a six-star operator in the Demon Surveillance Bureau now, and internal dating is strictly prohibited within the bureau, you know that."
"Ha! I caught you!"
Tang Cao excitedly pointed at Tang Zijun.
"You said that dating within the bureau is strictly prohibited, which means you did have that thought, right?"
Tang Zijun's lips twitched.
Is this the ace of the high school debate club? He's really impressive.
However, Tang Zijun wasn't foolish enough to fall into the self-proof trap set by Tang Cao. He shook his head slightly and said.
"Tang Cao, do you think we should bring our parents over for the Mid-Autumn Festival this year? It would be a good opportunity for them to see what you've been doing to support yourself through your studies."
At first, Tang Cao didn't react when Tang Zijun brought up the Mid-Autumn Festival, but when she heard what followed, she jumped three feet high.
"No, no, no! This is absolutely unacceptable!!"
"Roar?"
Tang Zijun raised an eyebrow.
"Tang Cao, you've changed. You've become someone I don't recognize. Didn't you love the feeling of your whole family being together?"
"No, no, no, no, no..." Tang Cao's tongue was almost tied in knots. "Brother, I was wrong, okay? Please don't tell Mom and Dad about this."
Seeing Tang Cao's reaction, Tang Zijun nodded in satisfaction.
"So what should you do now?"
"...I'm leaving now."
Without saying a word, Tang Cao obediently left the kitchen.
Watching her departing figure, Tang Zijun smiled and shook her head, then continued to cut the chicken wings.
Cola chicken wings are a delicious and easy-to-make dish. The sweet flavor combined with the tender texture of the chicken wings makes it a favorite of Tangcao.
However, to make it even tastier, you need to put some effort into controlling the heat and marinating the chicken wings.
Just as the chicken wings were being put into the pot, the doorbell rang. Tang Zijun turned around slightly and saw Xiaobai leap and open the security door with its paw.
Tangcao is getting lazier and lazier.
"Brother Tang!"
Tang Zijun couldn't think of anyone else who could visit at this time besides Su Siyao.
"The food will be ready soon. Go find Tangcao to play with first."
Hearing this, Su Siyao didn't do anything. Instead, she peeked out from the kitchen doorway. "Brother Tang, I heard you joined the Demon Surveillance Bureau?"
The public already knew about the existence of the Bureau of Demonic Investigation.
"Did Tang Cao tell you that?" Tang Zijun asked casually.
Su Siyao nodded quickly. "Yes, she said that because you are her relative, she was specially recruited as a one-star agent of the Demon Surveillance Bureau."
"I...yes, I am indeed a one-star agent."
The identity of a six-star agent is classified and cannot be revealed casually.
Su Siyao blinked. "Brother Tang, what do you think of me?"
Tang Zijun: ?
"Me, me." Su Siyao pointed to herself.
"What's wrong with you?" Tang Zijun asked, puzzled.
"I know Tang Cao is a magical girl, and I also know that Sister Qin Nan is a magical girl. Do you think I can join the Magic Supervision Bureau too?" Su Siyao asked excitedly.
Tang Zijun was taken aback upon hearing this, then remained silent for a moment before speaking. "Stop fooling around. What are you doing, an ordinary student? What you need to do now is study hard."
"Brother Tang, aren't you just an ordinary person? I can be your partner," Su Siyao said earnestly.
Tang Zijun chuckled upon hearing this. "You should focus on getting into a good university first."
"But."
"I know you really want to get involved in these extraordinary events, and there are many people like you, but you also need to understand that this is not something someone your age can do."
Tang Zijun walked up to Su Siyao and patted her head.
"So, it's too early for you to be thinking about these things, but I can guarantee that after you graduate from university..."
How about I write you a letter of introduction myself?
"I still have to graduate from university..." Su Siyao said with a bitter face. "That'll take another five or six years."
Tang Zijun smiled but remained silent.
That would take at least five or six years.
I just don't know if the Shadow Clan and those Outer Demons will survive until then...
