Chapter 324 Katie's File
As they walked and talked, Tang Zijun, Qin Nan, and Tang Cao soon arrived at the elevator floor in the lobby. After the elevator doors opened, the three of them stepped inside.
After communicating with them, Tang Zijun roughly understood some of the details of last night's battle. At that time, her attention was focused on Shi's body. If she hadn't sensed the fluctuations in the Shadow Corridor and chased after it, Tang Zijun would not have known that Tang Cao and Qin Nan had actually secretly taken on a mission.
According to them, the whisk was in a strange state. She did look like a magical girl and had her own rainbow crystal flower, but she had no spirit beast to accompany her, and the magic she used was also very strange, at least Qin Nan had never heard of it before.
"That team leader looks like his dad; he seems pretty old-fashioned," Qin Nan said casually, holding his head in his hands. "Fuchen wanted to add my and Tangcao's contact information, but her dad stopped her."
"Is it also because of confidentiality?" Tang Zijun turned her head away.
"Who knows? Logically speaking, even if it's classified, as fellow magical girls, we should be on the same level. Why are you being so wary of your own people?" Qin Nan's words still carried a hint of displeasure.
However, Tang Zijun didn't think much of it. After a moment of silence, he said in a slightly serious voice, "Speaking of guarding against your own people, you should all be careful lately too."
Upon hearing this, both Qin Nan and Tang Cao's expressions changed.
"Something happened again?" Tang Cao asked.
"Not really. Deputy Director Chang and I investigated the data loss issue that Director Shangguan mentioned, and we suspect that there may be some kind of organisms in the electronic virtual network."
Although it's hard to say what will happen in the future, it's necessary to prepare them mentally beforehand.
Even if it's a battle of wits with thin air, it's still better than not knowing what to do when something actually happens.
Upon hearing Tang Zijun's deep voice, Qin Nan and Tang Cao exchanged a glance, both seeing undisguised solemnity on each other's faces.
"Electronic virtual networks...the digital world?"
"I don't know. We can't be sure if it has the scale of a 'world' or 'dimension' yet, nor can we be sure of the number of people there. But we can be sure that something is active in various electrical appliances," Tang Zijun replied.
"No, then...does that mean we can't use electronic devices anymore?" Tang Cao's eyes widened, her gaze complex as she looked at her phone. "But how are we supposed to accept missions without electronic devices?!"
"You're just worried about not being able to play games anymore, aren't you...?" Little White licked its paws.
Tang Zijun waved her hand slightly. "Anyway, you all know what's going on. The other party doesn't have the ability to threaten the real world yet, at least not at the moment. And in this era of widespread internet access, unless you hide in the deepest mountains and forests, it's impossible to avoid contact with electronic devices."
Listening to Tang Zijun's calm words, Qin Nan felt a little uneasy. She carefully took out her phone, and an indescribable feeling crept into her heart.
It was one thing not knowing before, but now that Qin Nan knows there might be some kind of creature eavesdropping on her from inside her phone all the time, she suddenly feels she understands Sister Tan.
How is this bizarre method any different from that of the greedy people of the past?
Finally, the greedy ones were all dead, and they no longer needed to worry about anything secretly watching them in their reflections. But now, following the shadow world, another virtual network world has appeared.
So every generation of magical girls has its own 'greedy one'?
Despite saying that, Qin Nan did not doubt Tang Zijun's thoughts. Since the other party had revealed this information to him, it proved that Tang Zijun was at least 80% confident. However, what Qin Nan did not know was how they would deal with an existence that was not in reality.
"It's impossible to completely eliminate this kind of surveillance, so I hope you can be a little prepared." Saying this, Tang Zijun then looked at Xiao Hui and Xiao Bai. "You two too, if you sense anything is wrong, tell me immediately."
"Understood," Xiao Hui and Xiao Bai replied in unison.
Tangcao couldn't help but ask, "Since this is so strange, why don't we tell the other magical girls and have them help us? Wouldn't that be safer?"
"It's not that simple," Tang Zijun shook her head slightly. "Speaking out rashly could very well cause unnecessary trouble."
I've already spoken with Deputy Director Chang; he'll inform Director Shangguan. As for the specifics, we'll have to wait for orders from above.
Just then, with a "ding," the elevator doors slowly opened, and everyone stopped on a platform paved with dark blue tiles on the first floor.
Tang Cao and Qin Nan were both drawn to the unusual environment, and they curiously peeked out.
Although the two of them had been wandering around the Magic Bureau building for quite a while, the Magic Bureau was too big, and they had never been to this floor before.
"Brother, where is this?" Tang Cao came to Tang Zijun's side, took his arm and asked quietly. Perhaps it was because the environment was too quiet, but Tang Cao's voice became much softer.
Tang Zijun answered softly, "This is the place that handles all the medical procedures for magical girls. Sometimes it also diagnoses and treats their injuries and illnesses. Didn't you come here during your visit?"
"No." Tang Cao shook her head, and Qin Nan blinked. "This is the first time I've ever heard of this place."
This floor is actually off-limits to outsiders. Ordinary agents and some staff members don't have the authority to enter, because this floor and the three floors above it are reserved entirely for magical girls.
In order to create a better environment, all the staff here are women. When Tang Zijun walked in, she subconsciously thought she had entered a women's bathhouse.
Because Lao Chang had mentioned the situation and precautions here beforehand, Tang Zijun was a little cautious as she moved forward, afraid of seeing something she shouldn't have.
After passing through the corridor, the view suddenly opened up, and then a huge circular platform appeared in front of the three of them. Inside the platform, two staff members were busy with something with their heads down.
Hearing footsteps, the two women raised their heads, and when they saw a man approaching, their faces showed curiosity.
"Hello, my code name is Dreamer, and I'm in charge of Katie's case. Since Katie is currently unable to move, I'm handling her magical girl identity application on her behalf."
To avoid them thinking she was some kind of pervert, Tang Zijun quickly walked up and explained her purpose.
He then placed his ID card on the table. "This is my ID card; you can verify it."
The young staff member turned and exchanged a glance with another mature woman, then stood up, took Tang Zijun's ID, and swiped it on the machine next to the computer.
Soon, a series of internal messages appeared, but most of them were blacked out. Obviously, the computer on this floor did not yet have the authority to detect all of Tang Zijun's information.
The identity check was much faster than Tang Zijun had expected. The young staff member only glanced at it before returning the documents to Tang Zijun. Then she looked at Tang Cao and Qin Nan beside her. "And you two are?"
"We are members of the Fantasy Society team. Dreamer and Katie are temporary members of our team. We came with him."
Tang Cao stepped forward and smiled.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
The young staff member nodded slightly. As she spoke, she glanced at Tang Cao a few more times. There was no way around it; Tang Cao's natural beauty was too attractive, almost to the point of appealing to both men and women.
"Let me ask you something. What's the procedure for this magical girl application?" Tang Zijun asked, leaning on the counter. "We usually have it automatically approved from above. This is the first time we've had an application like this."
"It's not as complicated as you think. We register magical girl identities very quickly here. The more time-consuming part is the approval process, but you don't need to worry too much. You'll get a response in about three business days."
As she spoke, the young staff member typed on the keyboard. After a moment, she looked up again.
"But this is the first time I've encountered a situation like yours. I just saw Katie's file; it seems to have been created just last night... Yes, it's a train, right?"
Looking at the other person's extremely strange expression, Tang Zijun knew without a doubt that the other person's values were undergoing a terrifying shock.
After a brief pause, Tang Zijun quickly nodded and said, "Actually, to be precise, it's a surface world, and the situation is quite complicated. Can you handle it here?"
"Yes, yes, that's fine." The young staff member nodded repeatedly, then took out several folders from the drawer and placed them in front of Tang Zijun. "Please fill out the form first."
This was Tang Zijun's first time handling identity information on behalf of a magical girl, so he was basically clueless about it. Tang Cao and Qin Nan, on the other hand, sidled up to him from either side, equally curious.
"This looks like a very ordinary identity form, similar to what we filled out on our phones before," Qin Nan said softly after quickly scanning it.
"Yes, this is the procedure we follow for all magical girl identity declarations. Except for a few special cases, every magical girl has to fill out this form."
The young staff member began by explaining, then pointed to one of the documents. "Please fill out this one first," he said.
This is the simplest one; I'll teach you the others later.
"OK."
Tang Zijun responded and took a pen from the other person's hand.
It's just filling out a form, how difficult could it be?
Thinking this, Tang Zijun looked down at the first line of the file.
Please describe your place of origin in detail in the blank space below (including your birthplace, current residence, parents' location, and the location they are responsible for defending).
My gaze lingered on that line of text for a few seconds.
The pen trembled, and Tang Zijun froze on the spot.
