Tang Zijun was taken aback.
He didn't actually intend to hide these things, because his own affairs could be found out with a little investigation, but he didn't expect Shangguan Su to have sorted them out in her mind so quickly.
"I know that Tan Zhixin and Qin Nan are hiding some very crucial things," Shangguan Su said calmly, looking at Tang Zijun. "Back when the Tree Crown Royal City fell, many mysteries remained unsolved."
"The whereabouts of the Tree of Life, the death of Sir Skeleton, and how the Flower Fairy Clan broke through the restrictions of the Reversal Passage—these are all mysteries we don't know. But because of the other party's special nature, we didn't pursue the matter further, and we tacitly avoided mentioning these things."
"But now it seems that everything they've been hiding is all about you."
Tang Zijun looked at Shangguan Su calmly, neither admitting nor denying, before finally breaking the silence after a moment. "What do you want to know?"
"Is the Tree of Life still alive?" Shangguan Su asked without hesitation.
Tang Zijun initially thought that the other party's focus would be on the Reversal World or himself, but he did not expect that Shangguan Su would grasp the key point as soon as she opened her mouth.
Shangguan Su seemed to notice Tang Zijun's surprise and said softly, "Given your past record, since you were able to annihilate the Greedy Ones, then Sir Skeleton is naturally no match for you."
"Whether it's the Flower Fairy Clan's contact with us or the Flower Fairy Queen's attitude towards us, it's clear that you handled this matter perfectly. So, more than that, what I want to know is just how many trump cards we have up our sleeves."
Tang Zijun nodded thoughtfully, then said in a deep voice, "The Tree of Life is indeed still alive, but it is in a very weak state. This is why the Flower Fairy Clan cannot fully help us, because some of them need to stay in the Mirror World to take care of the Tree of Life."
"I see..."
Shangguan Su sighed softly and looked directly into Tang Zijun's eyes.
"Is she really a god? I mean, is that Tree of Life something that has existed since ancient times?"
"...Yes." Tang Zijun didn't know how to describe a deity, and after a moment of silence, she explained, "I don't know if she counts as a god, but she certainly has a very long lifespan."
"So, the Tree of Life now lives in the Mirror World too?"
"Her identity makes it unsuitable for her to remain in the real world," Tang Zijun said simply.
Shangguan Su didn't think much of it and simply nodded. "That's true. Without the barrier as protection, such a large tree will definitely attract the attention of those with ulterior motives... So, do you think the Tree of Life will help us in the face of invasions from heretics and other worlds?"
"To be honest, I haven't had a chance to talk to her yet, but I don't think she'll refuse," Tang Zijun said, spreading her hands. "After all, she's a part of this world, isn't she?"
Hearing Tang Zijun's words, Shangguan Su fell into deep thought once again.
Unlike Tang Zijun, sitting in the position of Director of the Demon Supervision Bureau, she has to think about far more things than the average person, especially when she is in the position of a god.
If communication with the Flower Fairy Clan was merely diplomacy between different races, then communication with a deity was entirely different.
The most crucial issue remains the principle of how both sides should coexist peacefully.
However, judging from the current situation, Tang Zijun has handled this matter quite well, placing the Tree of Life and the Flower Fairy in another special dimension, which in a sense can be considered a way of not disturbing each other.
It's just unknown what attitude the Tree of Life holds towards humanity today.
Seeing Shangguan Su fall silent, Tang Zijun paused for a moment before speaking softly, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"
"..." Shangguan Su slightly raised her head, composed herself, and focused her gaze on Tang Zijun. "That...card, belt...that you just transformed into...what kind of power is that?"
"That?" Tang Zijun answered frankly. "That's a Kamen Rider belt."
"I think so too..." Shangguan Su rubbed her temples helplessly.
"You've seen it too?"
Tang Zijun raised an eyebrow. He hadn't realized that Shangguan Su was the kind of person who watched tokusatsu (special effects) shows. However, Shangguan Su didn't respond and simply continued to ask.
Are there any other Kamen Riders in this world?
"No." Tang Zijun answered quickly this time.
Is it possible to replicate this ability and provide it to other people?
"Impossible."
"That's good..." Shangguan Su lowered her hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing her expression, Tang Zijun crossed her arms. "Don't you want to ask me where my transformation ability comes from? And why do you look so relieved?"
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Su rolled her eyes at him, feeling somewhat weary. "...Because it's a transformation ability that only you can use, there's no point in asking."
"As for feeling relieved... do you know how much extra work the emergence of the magical girl profession alone has added to our workload? If there were still a bunch of Kamen Riders in the world, believe me, I'd resign from those old men tomorrow."
Tang Zijun smiled evasively but didn't reply.
How many people know your identity now?
"Qin Nan, Tan Zhixin, Deputy Director Chang, Katie, oh and Xiao Xiao, the water elemental magic girl who accidentally entered the wasteland world with me this time, and Fang Xin," Tang Zijun replied.
Shangguan Su listened and nodded. After Tang Zijun finished speaking, she looked at Tang Zijun with some surprise.
.
Didn't you tell your sister your true identity?
"No..." Tang Zijun forced a smile.
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Su looked Tang Zijun up and down, her thoughts unreadable.
After a while, she shook her head. "I won't pry into your family matters, but I hope that you will inform me in advance when you tell others who you are."
"I never intended to reveal my identity, it was just..."
"Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean anything by it." Shangguan Su raised her hand to interrupt Tang Zijun and continued, "It's your freedom to tell whoever you want, just like other magical girls. Not everyone wants to keep their secret identity. The Magic Supervision Bureau isn't that strict in this regard, but..."
"However, your situation is different from theirs. If it were just a simple transformation, it wouldn't matter much. But if you also have the ability to freely travel through reverse passages, I'm afraid a lot of unnecessary attention will be focused on you."
Tang Zijun narrowed his eyes slightly at Shangguan Su's words, as he clearly understood the hidden meaning in her words.
The appearance of the Shadow Clan had already kept many people up at night, and if they were to expose themselves again, they feared that someone would come looking for trouble.
Although resolving these problems isn't difficult, it's always better to avoid trouble.
Shangguan Su paused for a moment before continuing, "Of course, this is just a suggestion."
"I understand." Tang Zijun looked up at Shangguan Su. "If I were to tell someone, you would know first."
Shangguan Su raised an eyebrow, stared into Tang Zijun's eyes for a moment, and suddenly smiled.
"By the way, how's your combat strength now? Hmm... compared to Deputy Director Qiu, are you stronger?"
Tang Zijun thought for a moment. "Deputy Director Qiu is very strong, but I won't lose."
"Is that so?" Shangguan Su nodded her chin. She didn't know how to verify Tang Zijun's fighting ability, so she could only choose to compare her with the person she was most familiar with.
Qiu Yun is the most powerful magical girl in the world today, without considering elemental advantages or disadvantages. If Tang Zijun isn't exaggerating, there must be someone even stronger than Qiu Yun, who is already very close to being a purple-level magical girl.
"I will arrange for magical girls to protect me, and I will also inform others about the android assassination attempt. You don't need to worry too much about this."
After a pause, Shangguan Su looked at Tang Zijun again.
"And you, what are your plans for the future?"
Tang Zijun pondered for a moment before slowly saying in a deep voice, "I'm going to find the Tree of Life. Perhaps she can give me some answers about the Dream World and the Wasteland."
"Furthermore, the wasteland world shouldn't have the technology to descend into the real world. Based on previous attacks, they should have lost signal after arriving here. But judging from the reaction of that omnic just now... I suspect they may have mastered something we don't know."
"Yes, if you need any help, please let me know, and I will do my best to provide you with some support."
"I'll let you know if I need anything." Tang Zijun tilted his head slightly, and then he knew that this exchange was coming to an end.
After this bizarre assassination attempt, both sides clearly needed some time to process the situation, so Tang Zijun slowly walked to the broken glass.
Watching Tang Zijun's retreating figure, Shangguan Su suddenly asked, "What suggestions do you have regarding the intelligent robot project that the Demon Supervision Bureau wants to implement?"
Tang Zijun paused, but didn't turn her head.
"Don't you already have the answer to this question in your heart?"
After saying that, Tang Zijun took a step and disappeared into a blur of light and shadow.
Shangguan Su's gaze lingered on the spot where Tang Zijun had disappeared for a long time, a complex look appearing in her flickering eyes.
The office fell silent again, with only the evening breeze whistling through the cracks in the window.
After an unknown amount of time, Shangguan Su returned to her desk.
Kamen Rider...The Greedy One...The Delusion...
With a slight flicker of her eyes, she slowly picked up the walkie-talkie.
"Send me all the records about greedy people to my office..."
As she spoke, Shangguan Su looked around.
"Never mind, let's just send it to the conference room."
