Chapter 504 Siblings
Chapter 504 Siblings
The events that occurred in Shanghai, China, caused a huge uproar worldwide thanks to the signal relayed by the God of Time and Space.
Originally, he wanted the whole world to witness the arrival of the new era and to use the transmission of signals to guide the power of time in the Temple of Time and Space to reverse the timeline of the entire Earth. However, unexpectedly, his actions led everyone to witness his downfall.
With the exposure of magical girls, people have gradually accepted the existence of supernatural beings. Similarly, people have also come to know that in the dark corners of the world, there is a group of evil creatures.
Even so, the appearance of the God of Time and Space still caused great panic among the people. Its enormous body, terrifying destructive power, and defensive power that could not be harmed by non-blue-level magical girls left a deep impression on them.
Although this matter is over, no one can guarantee that another God of Time and Space won't appear. Many people abroad are wondering if their country would be capable of dealing with an existence of that level if the being appeared not in China but in their own. This subconscious fear is also generating negative energy, and gaps are beginning to appear in various corners of the world, becoming noticeable to magical girls in different countries.
Actually, this is normal. Every time a major disaster occurs, whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, it will create channels for heretics and demons. Over the years, they have become accustomed to it.
This time, however, after the various gaps were created, no heretical demons descended. Even if they did, they were just a few big cats or small cats, or a group of lowly underworld scum with little intelligence.
Those heretical demons who were once feared were unusually quiet this time, remaining silent one by one and ignoring the passage to the real world.
After discovering this, many clever magical girls realized what was happening, and the wolf rider who completely defeated the God of Time and Space in this incident also became known to everyone in the world.
Not everyone has such a good memory. It's mainly because the God of Time and Space shouted too loudly. The language from the wasteland world, with its built-in translator, resounded in everyone's ears, making everyone remember the name "Wolf Rider".
Almost simultaneously, the search term "Wolf Rider" was pushed to the top of the trending searches, and it was the number one search term on the cliff. Even on foreign websites, the number of search entries for "Wolf Rider" exceeded 300 million within ten minutes.
People were eager to know who the Wolf Rider was and what kind of power he possessed. Other than that, everyone knew that the pizza shops near the Pentagon were about to boost their sales again.
Meanwhile, at the Magic Bureau building, as the information department restored its capabilities, they were astonished to find that the networks located in Shanghai had regained their signals. At the same time, signals from the front lines were being transmitted back, and on the large screen, everyone present saw the entire city being "rebuilt." It was unimaginable that the city, which had been reduced to utter devastation, was now rapidly returning to its original state, and the power of time that had threatened everyone had become the cornerstone of this restoration.
Just as everyone was watching this scene in shock, the conference room door was suddenly pushed open with such force that it made a muffled thud, immediately drawing everyone's attention.
Since its establishment, the Bureau of Demon Surveillance has been a constant flow of people, most of whom are prominent figures. It is rare for anyone to be so rude unless they encounter a very urgent situation.
Shangguan Su turned her head and saw a middle-aged man walking in quickly, surrounded by a group of bodyguards in uniform.
"Can someone explain to me what's going on?!"
The middle-aged man's eyes were as gloomy as a hawk's, his face slightly darkened, and his words carried a powerful, oppressive tone. Upon seeing him, the several managers in the conference room instinctively stood up, their gazes shifting from the middle-aged man's face to Shangguan Su.
Upon seeing the middle-aged man enter, Shangguan Su also stood up. "The incident happened so suddenly; I haven't finished compiling the report yet."
Before she could finish speaking, the middle-aged man interrupted her. "This happened so suddenly? The Demon Surveillance Bureau was established to handle emergencies. The Outer Path Demon Capital is practically riding roughshod over us, and you're telling me you haven't even finished your report?"
"The enemy isn't some heretical demon," Shangguan Su said. "At least not this time."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's expression remained unchanged. "Continue."
"That guy calls himself the 'God of Time and Space,' but he's actually a kind of artificial mechanical being, similar to artificial intelligence. They don't come from the real world, but from a virtual world tentatively codenamed 'Wasteland,'" Shangguan Su said calmly. "The assassination attempt I suffered earlier was their doing."
"The virtual world..." The middle-aged man's stern brows furrowed deeply.
He stared at Shangguan Su for a while, then waved his hand. "You all go out. I need to speak with your bureau chief alone."
Upon hearing this, the people in the conference room exchanged glances, then looked at Shangguan Su. Seeing her nod slightly, they packed up their things and left the conference room, including the bodyguards. As they left, they quickly closed the door behind them.
Now, only Shangguan Su and the middle-aged man remained in the conference room.
The atmosphere became slightly tense, and neither of them spoke first.
After a while, the middle-aged man stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over Shangguan Su. "Why didn't I know about the assassination?" Hearing this, Shangguan Su pouted and sat back down in her chair. "I didn't let them tell anyone."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's face immediately darkened. "How could you..."
"Hey Dad!" Shangguan Su interrupted the middle-aged man loudly. "Don't worry about me, okay? I know what I'm doing."
The middle-aged man's expression stiffened, but he quickly frowned again. "Knowing what's going on? This is what you mean by knowing what's going on! What did I tell you before? I told you to keep Qiu Yun by your side to protect you. And what did you do? You sent out all four blue-level warriors in the entire country!"
"Well, there's no other way. Our country is vast and rich in resources, and it's connected to the territories of many high-ranking officials of the heretical demonic sects. What else can we do but send the four of them to guard them?"
"Then who will guarantee your own safety? This time the enemy appeared in Shanghai, what if next time it's in Yandu? You've already forgotten about the Shadow Disaster in just a few months, haven't you?"
Shangguan Su sighed in frustration. "I already told you I know what I'm doing."
"Then let's come up with something concrete. The enemy is already at our doorstep, and we don't even know the most basic facts about that wasteland world. I haven't even seen a single thing about it in the Bureau of the Demon Suppression's archives..."
Snapped!
Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, Shangguan Su placed a stack of files on the table.
"What is this?"
"The file of Special Senior Agent, name Fang Xin, code name undetermined, went missing during the Shadow Disaster and was taken to the Wasteland. My people have just made contact with him. He has already built up a considerable force in the Wasteland. According to the time we agreed in advance, the intelligence about the Wasteland will be on my desk next weekend."
"...Look at the files on the table, he opened his mouth. "But what about that unknown giant just now?"
"They're my people too," Shangguan Su said, raising an eyebrow and crossing her arms.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's breath hitched, as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard. But seeing that Shangguan Su in front of him didn't seem to be joking, he suddenly didn't know what to say.
She paused for a moment before speaking in a low voice. "Is that person's identity also in the Demon Surveillance Bureau's archives? Why have I never seen it before?" "Although you are more senior than me, we are at the same level. Comrade Shangguan, it seems unnecessary for me to tell you all the secrets of the Demon Surveillance Bureau, does it?" Shangguan Su said softly, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"you"
"I am the director," Shangguan Su said with a faint smile. "Please also say hello to the other uncles and elders. This incident was all part of my plan. I take responsibility for all my actions. Take care."
The middle-aged man's expression twitched slightly.
He paused, then turned and walked out without saying anything more, leaving only a parting sentence before opening the door: "Come home for dinner tonight, your mom misses you."
Shangguan Su remained seated, watching her father leave. Only after he was completely gone did she finally clench her fist and break into a bright smile.
She sat in the chair and turned around, gazing at the sunset outside the window.
"Tang Zijun, oh Tang Zijun... you really surprised me..."
On the other hand, it's unclear whether Tang Zijun's current situation is a pleasant surprise.
Their hands clasped together, Tang Cao's eyes fixed intently on Tang Zijun's, a complex expression on her face. "So from the very beginning, you were already fighting those monsters, weren't you, keeping it from me..."
Looking at Tang Cao's pitiful appearance, Tang Zijun was a little afraid to meet her gaze and could only look away.
Biting her lower lip, a mist appeared in Tangcao's eyes.
"Why did you hide it from me? Why did you have to bear all of this alone?"
"If I weren't here, if I hadn't become a magical girl, would you never have told me your true identity, and would you have let me live my life like an idiot forever?"
"You've gone too far. Do you know how worried I was about you? When I found out you joined the Bureau of Demonic Supervision and had connections with the dream world, I felt like the sky was falling."
How could you be so cruel?
"Do you really consider me your sister!?"
Tang Zijun glanced at her.
He picked up the wolf rider's belt.
"You can borrow it for two days."
"That's exactly what I've been waiting to hear!"
Tang Cao happily took it, leaving the three women beside her with twitching lips.
