Chapter 297 Qingnang Call
Chang Lei is now filled with regret, extreme regret.
I should have known better. Tang Zijun, that bastard, never asked me for help unless it was for something good. From the moment he approached me until now, I haven't had a single moment of peace.
It's always a matter of being wary of being targeted by heretics or being "stabbed in the back" by the magical girls in the bureau. Now it's even more outrageous. After going through so much trouble to finally satisfy Tang Zijun's little guess, this stupid girl is going to kill me.
Well, it can't be said that he killed himself.
Judging from this person's brain circuitry, she is prepared to equally destroy all evil creatures.
With a soft sigh, Tang Zijun looked up. "Katie, I know you've just been born and your thoughts are still a bit muddled. Even if I explain things, there are some things you might find hard to understand like you do with Curly Ear."
"All I want to say is that evil beings aren't judged by strength. Your perception is correct; Lao Chang is indeed a Greedy One, an evil being. But I can also use the power of a Greedy One. If that's the case, will you hurt me?"
"Of course not, I..." Katie's eyes widened, but she quickly ran out of things to say.
She doesn't understand, at least not now, how to process and resolve this kind of information she receives.
From the perspective of a magical girl, she should kill all the intruders, but from her own standpoint, she doesn't want to hurt Tang Zijun, and even less does she want to hurt the people around Tang Zijun.
This clash of ideas was something Katie had never experienced before, because back then, she was just a chaotic being without self-thought, without thought, and even less emotion.
"Don't rush, think it over slowly," Tang Zijun said gently. "You are now a new life form, and I don't want to control your thoughts like a tool. I want you to truly become a life form."
Katie paused for a moment, and although she still didn't understand what Tang Zijun meant, she nodded slightly.
His gaze slowly shifted from Chang Lei to Tang Zijun's face.
"I think I understand a little. You can use the power of the Greedy Ones and the power of magic, so power itself is neither good nor evil. Chang Lei is a Greedy One, but he is helping us now, just like me, so I cannot harm him."
"Ah! That's it!" Chang Lei clapped his hands. "You finally realized! We're the same kind of people, both of us have abandoned darkness for light!"
Katie didn't respond, but stared straight at Chang Lei.
Feeling a little uneasy under his gaze, Chang Lei awkwardly shut his mouth and waved his hand to indicate that he would not respond.
Seeing that Katie didn't seem to be that hostile towards Chang Lei, Tang Zijun felt a little relieved. To be honest, he was really worried that Katie was a stubborn person who couldn't see things clearly.
If she remains unmoved and insists on taking action against Chang Lei, then the problem becomes quite serious, and it might even affect Chang Lei's chances of being recognized as an advanced worker at the end of the year.
Reaching out to pat the curly-eared head, Tang Zijun said apologetically, "Sorry, I scared you just now."
"Hmm... I was really startled. To be honest, I still feel something's off. If I wasn't sure you were human, I would really think you were someone possessed by a greedy person."
Curly Ears didn't resist Tang Zijun's large hand; on the contrary, she seemed to enjoy it. She twitched her nose and continued speaking.
"But, is what Deputy Director Chang said true? You really, all by yourself, eliminated all the greedy people?"
"Well, if you don't believe me, I can take you to the Mirror World. That dimension is now the headquarters of the Flower Fairies, the New Tree Crown Royal City. You'll definitely love it."
"Let's forget about it." Curly-eared man chuckled dryly. "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that you need to give me some time to process this. After all, this is completely different from the memories I received."
"That's normal. Many newly awakened spirit beasts also feel uncomfortable with the current situation. The memories they received are still stuck in the life of magical girls who need to hide and hide everywhere." Tang Zijun smiled.
"However, this is something we have to adapt to, because there will be more and more of these incongruities in the future. After experiencing so many things, I feel that passively responding to the enemy is not a good thing. To solve all of this, we must unite all the forces that can be united."
"Even magical girls have to step into the limelight, because fighting evil is never a task for just one or two people."
Hearing Tang Zijun's words, Juan Erduo's expression became somewhat subtle.
Hearing these words from the mouth of a greedy leader really put the rabbit in a difficult position. However, Curly-Ears quickly stood up, smiling as she stretched out her little paws towards Tang Zijun. "You saved me and helped me become a spirit beast capable of partnering with magical girls again, so I'm willing to believe you."
If she had any reservations about Tang Zijun and Chang Lei before, now that she sees the two transforming the world that threatened the world into magical mecha girls devoid of negative energy, Juan Erduo no longer harbors much hostility.
"Thank you for your trust." Tang Zijun raised her hand and shook hands with her, then looked at Katie. "However, Katie's situation is different from that of a typical magical girl, so she will need your help to take care of her."
Upon hearing this, Curly-Ears patted its chest confidently. "Don't worry, leave it to me. I'll find a way to help her adapt to this world as quickly as possible. It's our responsibility as spirit beasts, after all."
Tang Zijun smiled and nodded. Although Katie's situation was a little troublesome, having such an understanding spirit beast to help was a great help.
Sometimes, animals really are more intelligent than humans.
"Oh, right." Tang Zijun suddenly remembered something. "Don't tell anyone about me and Lao Chang, okay? After all, our identities are rather sensitive."
"I understand. If other magical girls and spirit beasts knew about your existence, they definitely wouldn't let you off the hook. It's alright since you're human."
As for Deputy Director Chang, that's...:”
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean, ''? You really think those little girls can threaten me?" Chang Lei snorted.
Tang Zijun gave him a warning look. "I hope you can show the same attitude when you give your speech at the year-end summary meeting of the Demon Supervision Bureau."

Chang Lei swallowed hard. "...Then forget it."
Just then, a pleasant cell phone ringtone sounded.
The ringtone was a theme song from a game character, and the upbeat music quickly interrupted everyone's thoughts.
"Wow, there's still a signal in this dimension?" Curly Ears looked at Tang Zijun in surprise, or rather, at the phone screen that lit up in his pocket.
The moment you step into the car, all spatial dimensions are derailed. In theory, these are two different dimensions and should not be able to transmit signals.
Tang Zijun wasn't too surprised. He quickly took out his phone and explained, "Both Lao Chang's and my phones receive signals through the Reverse Channel. As long as it's a dimension within the Reverse World, we can connect through the reflection on the phone screen."
As she spoke, Tang Zijun glanced at the screen.
The caller ID was simple, displaying only four characters: "Qingnang Xiansheng".
Tang Zijun's gaze shifted slightly, and she looked up and glanced around. "Um, I need to take this call. You guys continue your conversation."
"Who is it?" Chang Lei asked curiously.
"Mr. Qingnang, she is still recuperating in the New Tree Crown Royal City. She rarely contacts me, so she must have something to ask me," Tang Zijun said casually.
"Advisor Tan, huh?" Chang Lei's gaze shifted slightly as he looked at Tang Zijun. "Pfft."
"screw you."
Tang Zijun rolled her eyes at him, turned around to answer the phone, and walked towards the corner of the carriage.
"Hey, what do you want?"
Soon, Tan Zhixin's voice came through the receiver.
[Tang Zijun, are you busy right now?]
Tang Zijun went to a corner, casually pulled back a corner of the curtain, and looked at the excited expert team and agents outside the car window. She said softly, "I'm fine, not too busy. What's wrong?"
It's hard to say over the phone, could you come over?
Tan Zhixin's voice was very soft, and she didn't sound as weak as before, but it was still a little hoarse.
Tang Zijun frowned slightly. Based on his understanding of Tan Zhixin, although she was easygoing, she was definitely not the type to keep things mysterious. She was not the kind of woman who wouldn't speak her mind.
And the thing that she could only tell him after meeting him was obviously no small matter.
So, thinking of this, Tang Zijun nodded seriously. "I understand. Wait for me a moment, I'll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, Tang Zijun quickly walked over to Chang Lei, Katie, and the others.
"I have something urgent to attend to and need to go over there. Lao Chang, you keep an eye on things here and don't let the other colleagues notice anything."
"Okay." Noticing the change in Tang Zijun's expression, Chang Lei knew that this must be something important, so he didn't interrupt.
However, Katie frowned slightly.
"Where are you going? May I go with you?"
"This..." Tang Zijun and Chang Lei exchanged a glance, then spoke up. "Katie, you've just been born, so it's best not to do anything rash. I'm worried you won't be able to handle the consequences."
"It's okay, I can accept it," Katie replied.
"What I mean is, I'm afraid ordinary people won't be able to accept it," Tang Zijun said, smiling. "The magical mecha girl is a novel experience for you, and it's the same for everyone else in this world."
"After all, you know that you were once a surface world, a dimension that threatened human life. So before ensuring your safety, the Bureau of the Demonic Oversight Agency needs to assess you."
"Until then, just cooperate with Deputy Director Chang. Don't worry, with him keeping an eye on things, there won't be any problems."
"But..." Katie bit her lower lip lightly.
"Don't worry, I don't mean to abandon you. We're still in touch, so you can call me anytime if you need anything." Tang Zijun smiled and helped Katie straighten her bangs.
It must be said that although Katie's body is now formed from magic, it looks and feels exactly like a real human being.
This is somewhat similar to Xiaobai's innate magic.
Hearing Tang Zijun's words, Katie finally nodded.
"Okay, I understand. I'll wait for you to come back here."
