Chapter 103 Mr. Qingnang (1200020000)
Thanks to the powerful force of the reversed world, Tang Zijun was able to find the person on the other end of the phone the moment the call connected, thanks to Qin Nan's voice.
Just as electronic signals can transmit a person's voice, Tang Zijun can also use her extraordinary hearing and the fact that the Reversed World has no distance limitations to see what the other person looks like from the reflective phone screen.
For Qin Nan and the strange woman, they were having a voice call, but for Tang Zijun, a voice call could be turned into a one-sided video call at any time if he wanted to.
If he wanted, he could even use the bathroom mirror to get to her side and talk to the magical girl face to face.
However, Tang Zijun did not choose to do so.
Since the two sides have had little contact before, and this is their first phone call, it's best to respect the privacy of these magical girls to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
Most importantly, whether it's the Reverse World or the Mirror Dimension, this power is extremely evil in the eyes of magical girls, belonging to the forces of the greedy.
Xiao Hui mentioned that the magical girl family he was staying at had fought against the Greedy One, which proves that the other party was very clear about this power.
Therefore, under these circumstances, Tang Zijun decided to talk to him first.
Tang Zijun took the phone and casually placed it to her ear.
Hello.
Upon hearing the male voice coming from the receiver, a look of surprise flashed across Tan Zhixin's face.
Now it was her turn to be surprised.
Tan Zhixin didn't really think too much about the friends Qin Nan had met, because only other magical girls could understand things like heretical demons and monster eggs.
So she assumed that Qin Nan had met a strange lone wolf magical girl during the operation, but she didn't expect that the other party would actually be a man!
However, her calm demeanor allowed her to quickly adjust, and after glancing at Xiaoqing, she slowly spoke.
"Hello, would you mind revealing your identity? Also, about the Outer Path Demon and Magical Girl, this doesn't seem like information that a boy should know."
Upon hearing the other person's words, Tang Zijun knew that she must have misunderstood.
"I cannot reveal my identity at the moment. I know you won't believe me so easily, but my information is accurate. Qin Nan witnessed the Heretic Demon appearing in the sunlight."
Tan Zhixin's eyes flickered. She understood that arguing about the other party's identity and background was meaningless. What was truly important was the matter of those heretical demons.
"If it's just heretics who can walk in the sunlight, then there's nothing to worry about. The guys in the underworld have a lot of abilities, so it's not surprising that a few daywalkers have appeared."
"Daywalkers?"
Tang Zijun pondered the term for a moment; it was the first time he had ever heard such a term.
"Um."
Tan Zhixin did not hide anything, or rather, for her, this information was not considered a secret.
"This is what we call different evil creatures. Among the monsters that invade the real world, although the vast majority are night walkers who can only exist in the darkness, over thousands of years, some beings that are not afraid of sunlight have been born. These are day walkers."
Tang Zijun nodded silently. This categorization wasn't wrong, after all, Chang Lei was the best example.
Aside from Chang Lei and the God of Gluttony, Tang Zijun hadn't really seen any other strange people appear in the sunlight.
Of course, the sun in the reversed world doesn't count.
The sun there is merely an illusion reflected in a mirror, a false thing with only shape but no energy, and cannot be considered a real sun.
At this moment, Tan Zhixin's voice came again.
"When did you encounter those monster eggs? And what evidence do you have that those eggs could hatch in sunlight?"
"I know what you're doubting. I have spirit beasts as witnesses. It's not just heretical demons that can appear in the sunlight; strange beasts are one of them," Tang Zijun said.
Inside the flower shop, Tan Zhixin and Xiaoqing exchanged a glance, their expressions both somewhat serious.
If it's just one person's story, they might not believe it completely, but if there's a spirit beast as proof, then the seriousness of this matter will be beyond imagination.
"I don't know who you are, but judging from Qin Nan's description, you should be a seasoned magical girl with a lot of experience. If that's the case, then you should know that the high-ranking officers in the Otherworld have their own territories."
"I do know some things," Tan Zhixin nodded.
Upon hearing this, Tang Zijun began to show off the clues she had just received.
"According to my investigation, all of these alien beast eggs that can appear in the sunlight come from the Liaosha region, and the high-ranking member of the heretical demons who occupies the Liaosha region is none other than Sir Skull."
Tan Zhixin frowned. "Liaosha Region. Skull Knight"
Now she knew why Qin Nan had called her. If the other party's target was Sir Skull, then Qin Nan, who had been searching for Sir Skull, would naturally come into their sights.
Of course, this is just her guess.
The next moment, Tan Zhixin turned her attention to another question.
"You said the eggs of the alien beasts that are not afraid of sunlight all come from the Liaosha region. Are you implying that other heretical demons in the inner world don't possess this technology, and that this is just Sir Skeleton's personal plan?"
"That's indeed our current assumption, because I haven't received any valuable information from the heretics in other cities. It seems they know nothing about this matter."
After a pause, Tang Zijun added a sentence to be more accurate.
"But we cannot rule out the possibility that other high-ranking officials colluded with Sir Skull. I am pushing forward the investigation and trying to expand the scope to other cities."
Upon hearing this, the surprise in Tan Zhixin's eyes widened instantly.
Who exactly is this guy?
Not only was he capable of investigating the background of heretics, but he also interrogated heretics in other cities and was even preparing to extend his reach into the territories of more heretics.
Unlike Tan Zhixin on the other end of the phone, Qin Nan was all smiles. She sat at her computer desk, obediently watching Tang Zijun on the phone, feeling a little excited.
If you offend this person, you're doomed, hehehe.
Taking a deep breath, Tan Zhixin tilted her head slightly. "I understand what you mean. I'll contact the other sisters and ask them to pay attention to this matter."
"Thank you for your help." Tang Zijun smiled. "By the way, my name is Wolf Rider. What's your name?"
Wolf riders.
That's a really strange way to address someone.
Tan Zhixin gently curled the corners of her lips. She knew this must be the other party's alias, but it didn't matter. Given her current state, using an alias was indeed the only option.
My surname is Tan.
Her gaze shifted, and Tan Zhixin's eyes fell on the flower stamens behind her.
Call me Qingnang.
Qingnangyao.
Legend has it that the Qingnang flower is extremely rare, blooming only on the night of the full moon in midsummer each year, and withering in a short while.
After a brief chat, they hung up the phone. However, Tang Zijun was still thinking about the name the other person had left. It seemed that the person was also someone who knew and loved flowers.
I wonder if the flower's name is also a metaphor for herself?
Looking at Tang Zijun, who seemed somewhat lost in thought, Qin Nan put his phone away.
"Sister Tan Qingnang is the person who has taken the most care of me. I am able to grow to where I am today thanks to her help."
"Then isn't she your caregiver?" Tang Zijun asked casually.
"I guess so." Qin Nan opened her mouth, then shook her head. "I'm already an adult, okay? What kind of caregiver do I need?"
This made Tang Zijun curious; he was quite interested in the past between the magical girl and Qin Nan.
"What exactly is this Qingnang to you? You seem to respect her a lot, but at the same time, you seem to be afraid of her."
"Well, I'm not really scared," Qin Nan said somewhat awkwardly, as if the topic had touched a nerve.
Just then, Little Gray's voice rang out from the side.
"That's because Sister Nan used to borrow money from Mr. Qingnang all the time. Back then, Sister Nan wouldn't listen to advice and insisted on going to Sir Skull. As a result, her business fell into ruin before it was even halfway done. If it weren't for Mr. Qingnang, we would all be homeless."
"Little Grey, if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!" Qin Nan glared fiercely at Little Grey.
Then she looked at Tang Zijun, pouted and said defiantly.
The latest novel is first published here!
"I will pay you back. I'm working for you now, and you're paying me so much money. I'll pay it all back slowly later."
Tang Zijun didn't pay much attention to that; he was just a little curious about how Xiao Hui addressed Qing Nang. "Sir, is this Qing Nang Qin Nan's tutor?"
"That's not all."
Little Grey fluttered its wings and flew onto the clothes rack.
"Mr. Qingnang is the mentor of many magical girls. Since her retirement, she has been assisting other magical girls in battle in this way. Nan-jie used to call her Mr. Tan."
Upon hearing this, Tang Zijun immediately perked up.
really!
Similar organizations also exist among the professions of magical girls.
This Mr. Qingnang is very likely the one who united many magical girls to form a relatively large force.
No wonder, even the heretical demons have their own territories. The magical girls have been fighting those guys for so long, it's impossible for them not to unite.
"So, Mr. Qingnang is the captain of your magical girl squad?" Tang Zijun asked.
Upon hearing this question, Qin Nan and Xiao Hui's expressions changed noticeably. They exchanged a glance, but neither of them answered first.
Looking at their appearance, Tang Zijun frowned.
Did I say something wrong?
"no."
Little Grey shook his head and continued.
"We just don't know how to describe this. Ms. Qingnang hasn't participated in battles for a long time, and she has no intention of forming a magical girl squad. However, thanks to her efforts, a few teams have been formed."
Tang Zijun nodded thoughtfully. He didn't know the reason for Qingnang's retirement, nor did he know why the other party hadn't participated in the war for so long. But he did know that the truth of this matter would probably involve a complicated past.
Magical girls aren't as wonderful as they imagine. War means sacrifice, and such things are unavoidable no matter what.
The reason Qin Nan became a lone wolf and did not join any other magical girl teams is probably, as she said before, that she didn't want others to sacrifice themselves for her "personal affairs".
"What Mr. Qingnang is doing now is mainly auxiliary," Qin Nan explained.
"If any magical girls encounter troublesome heretical demons or evil creatures from other worlds, they will report the situation to her."
"After receiving this information, Mr. Qingnang will use his experience to tell them how to defeat the enemy. If they encounter a problem that a magical girl cannot solve, he will also help contact nearby magical girls for support."
"I see." Tang Zijun nodded in understanding.
Simply put, Master Qingnang is more like a marshal who sits in the rear.
She assesses the actions of the Outer Demons from a holistic perspective and provides guidance and education to the magical girls' faction. Occasionally, she will also "deploy troops" and send some magical girls to cooperate in hunting down the Outer Demons.
This will not only accelerate the magical girls' combat power, but also ensure their safety.
After all, if a newcomer like Tangcao is participating in the battle for the first time, it is easy for them to encounter life-threatening dangers when facing powerful or special evil creatures.
However, thinking of this, Tang Zijun frowned slightly.
"How did you two manage to contact each other? Judging from that Qingnang gentleman's accent, she shouldn't be from the north, right? How could you communicate over such a long distance?"
"Actually, magical girls rarely meet each other. Mr. Qingnang occasionally sends some magical girls on cross-province missions and searches for new girls when they pass through cities that may have gaps in their ranks."
Qin Nan replied, "But that's just a matter of luck. If we calculate based on our previous estimate of the total number of magical girls in the country, Mr. Qingnang has been able to contact less than half of them so far."
"You even estimated the total number of magical girls in the country?" Tang Zijun's eyes widened.
"Yeah." Qin Nan crossed her arms and said. "There are so many cities in the country, and some large cities can produce many magical girls. We previously estimated that the total number of magical girls exceeds 160, and that's just within the country."
"If we include those from other countries, wouldn't there be thousands of magical girls on Earth?!" Tang Zijun really hadn't expected that.
"The actual quantity may vary, but it should be close enough."
I go
Tang Zijun touched Xiaobai's belly, concealing his surprise.
Tang Zijun had imagined there would be quite a few magical girls, but she never expected there to be so many. If they were all gathered together, this would almost be the total number of the Greedy Ones.
During those three years of fierce fighting, the number of greedy people I killed was roughly the same.
Actually, it makes sense when you think about it. The world is so big, if you spread out these thousand magical girls, it's probably not much different from a drop of water in the ocean, and they won't make much of a splash.
Not to mention, magical girls face threats not only from the inner world, but also from the outer world and the mirror dimension, so this number makes sense.
However, Mr. Qingnang does have some skills. If there are more than 160 magical girls in the country, then that means she can contact at least 60 or 70 of them.
This kind of network of connections is already quite impressive. As the saying goes, "Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure." In a cultivation novel, Master Qingnang would at least be an elder in the clan.
I was just thinking about it.
Tang Zijun suddenly felt her hand go empty.
Looking down, he saw that Little White had disappeared from his hands at some point.
Looking up in confusion, the familiar bedroom suddenly transformed into a dilapidated wooden hut, a stench of decay and stagnation lingering in the air.
Tang Zijun's face stiffened as she stared at the bizarre scene.
"Where did you get this from now?"
