Chapter 211 Shadow Strike!
"Let the Flower Fairy Clan and the Magical Girls cooperate..." Before Ruosi could even respond to Tang Zijun's words, Xiaoqing couldn't help but wink. "Is...is that even possible?"
It's no wonder she reacted so strongly. After all, in the eyes of a spirit beast like Xiaoqing, magical girls have always been partners with spirit beasts since ancient times. This has been a habit for countless years and has never changed.
Magical girls are responsible for slaying demons and monsters, while spirit beasts are responsible for warning of the emergence of evil, and at the same time, they use their awakened magic to assist them.
Both sides share the same vision and grow together.
But if we were to add a flower fairy to this, Xiaoqing wouldn't know how to describe the scene.
Although a triangle is the most stable shape, and the relationship between the three is relatively stable, Xiaoqing still felt something was a little strange.
Tang Zijun had anticipated Xiaoqing's reaction. "The world is changing, and our enemies are changing too. Under these circumstances, we cannot continue down the old path; we must make appropriate changes."
"Actually, the reason I proposed this plan was to protect the safety of magical girls and spirit beasts. Since it has been proven that there have been precedents of magical girls dying in the dream world, we must take this matter seriously."
"The passage between reality and dreams is still there, and no one can guarantee that this kind of incident will not happen again. If a magical girl is pulled into the dream world again, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for us to rescue her."
Tan Zhixin pondered for a moment. "I understand. You mean, the Flower Fairy Clan should monitor the power of dreams, so that even if some of our sisters are forcibly taken there, the Flower Fairy Clan will have the ability to guide them in that world."
"Yes." Tang Zijun nodded slightly. "The Flower Fairy Clan's talent allows beings of different races to communicate with each other, and they can also determine direction anywhere. Even in extremely chaotic spatial situations, they can still find the right way out, which is something magical girls do not possess."
At this point, Tang Zijun glanced at the hyacinth again.
"When I spoke with Gloria earlier, she clearly identified Hyacinth as a fairy, which means that there is a very likely race similar to the Flower Fairy in the dream world."
"This identity is a double-edged sword. In that world, many people want to control the power of the Flower Fairy to bring themselves a bountiful harvest and wealth. But at the same time, this demand also adds a layer of protection for them to some extent."
"At least, falling into the hands of the dream dwellers is better than dying an inexplicable death at the hands of those evil creatures."
After speaking, Tang Zijun looked at Queen Ruosi, awaiting her response. Ruosi, however, did not hesitate much. "Since it is your order, our Flower Fairy Clan will naturally give our full support. However, we have not had contact with humans for thousands of years. Would acting rashly...?"
"Yes." Tan Zhixin frowned slightly. "The fall of the divine tree caused such a big reaction. If people discover the Flower Fairy Clan, I'm afraid many will try to harm them."
"I've also considered this," Tang Zijun said softly. "That's why I didn't say we should start immediately. This will be a long-term task, and I'll have Chang Lei's side make progress first."
Chang Lei is now in a high position, so having him promote contact between the Flower Fairy Clan and humans is naturally the best choice, especially with Qin Nan, a descendant of Mr. Qin, involved.
This may be the first time most people have learned about the Flower Fairy Clan, but with Mr. Qin as a good example, Tang Zijun believes that establishing a practical cooperation between the two sides will not be too difficult.
As for those with ulterior motives, Tang Zijun didn't take them too seriously.
After all, the Flower Fairy Clan goes to the real world to cooperate, and their main base is still in the Mirror Dimension.
If some criminals are truly fearless, let's not even discuss whether they can find a way to enter the mirror dimension; even if they do get in...
On their own territory, they have the final say.
After Tang Zijun finished explaining her plan, everyone nodded thoughtfully.
Indeed, the biggest fear in contact between two races is that it will cause suspicion and unnecessary misunderstandings, but with the help of the documents and diaries left by Mr. Qin, the Bureau of Demon Supervision can naturally verify their authenticity.
If they understand that decades ago, an outstanding and charismatic predecessor took this step, then the higher-ups of the Demon Supervision Bureau will surely be able to make the right decisions in future diplomacy.
However, while a common man is innocent, possessing a treasure is a crime; the existence of the Tree of Life must remain a secret for now.
The cooperation plan has been tentatively set, although it may take a long time to deploy, but it is a good attempt.
Tang Zijun originally wanted to communicate with the Tree of Life itself, but according to Queen Ruos, the Tree of Life is currently too weak to have any real communication with it, so he had no choice but to give up.
In the following days, Tang Zijun devoted herself entirely to those mythological and historical legends.
In order to better understand that unknown world, he began to cram on knowledge about the dream world.
As the moon rose above the treetops, the snow city was shrouded in a tranquil black veil.
A woman, dressed in a light and comfortable sportswear, is jogging lightly down the street at night.
The woman's breathing was very steady, and her ponytail swayed behind her.
The Bluetooth earphones flickered with a faint blue light in the darkness, flashing as if in sync with the rhythm of her running.
When she reached the park she knew best, the woman's steps suddenly became unsteady, her brows furrowed slightly, and a vague sense of unease began to rise in her heart.
The woman didn't know how to describe the feeling; she always felt like something was watching her, and her whole body felt prickly.
She subconsciously stopped and took off her Bluetooth earphones.
Looking into the park from outside the railing, the once familiar scenery now appears exceptionally eerie.
The shadows of the trees twisted into strange shapes on the ground, the benches along the road looked eerie, and even the streetlights dimmed.
The woman's heart raced slightly, and as she glanced around, a bad thought popped into her head.
Although the government has not issued any official decrees, many online bloggers have begun to advise people not to go out at night, and if they do go out, it is best to go to crowded places.
The magical girl's appearance has attracted a lot of attention, but the existence of those evil creatures cannot be ignored.
The thought sent a chill down the woman's spine.
Could I really be that unlucky? I've been going for night runs for years without any problems, and this magical girl's existence was only recently revealed, and I've already "hit the jackpot"?
Is this what they mean by "if you walk the night road too often, you'll eventually run into..."?
Before she could finish her thought, the woman's gaze suddenly fixed on the shadows in the park.
In the deep shadows, countless faint points of light caught her attention. Upon closer inspection, she realized that the bright spots were actually eyes that were opening and closing.
Those eyes emitted a ghostly green light, exuding an eeriness and coldness. Each eyeball was fixed on the woman, as if looking at prey that had willingly delivered itself to their doorstep.
Upon noticing this, the woman's body instantly froze, as if her blood had frozen.
She turned to run, but found that her legs wouldn't obey her commands.
Those eyes seemed to possess some kind of magic, locking onto her body so tightly that she couldn't even move a finger.
The woman's mind went blank, filled only with endless fear and regret.
Cold sweat soaked the back of her clothes, her body trembled uncontrollably, and her throat felt like it was blocked by something, preventing her from making a sound.
Just as her heart sank to the bottom, the woman suddenly noticed out of the corner of her eye that a man had appeared on the bench that had been empty moments before. The man was smoking and his gaze seemed to be looking in her direction.
It's him? !
The woman already knew about the man's existence; after all, she would see him sitting there every time she passed by the park during her night run.
At first, the woman was a little scared. After all, she was a girl and she was afraid that she might encounter some bad people in the middle of the night.
But for several months in a row, the man didn't do anything to her. It seemed like they had developed some kind of tacit understanding, so the woman gradually stopped taking it to heart.
Seeing the man reappear, the woman instantly felt like a drowning person grasping at a straw. She didn't know where the strength came from, but she suddenly broke free from her fear and turned to run towards the man.
She didn't have time to think too much. Compared to that unknown monster, the strange man in front of her was obviously more reassuring.
The surrounding air seemed to thicken, and an invisible resistance enveloped the woman's entire body. It took her a tremendous amount of effort to cover a distance of less than a hundred meters.
Just as the woman was about to get within ten meters of the man.
"Stop! Don't go any further!"
A soft shout suddenly exploded from mid-air.
Upon hearing this sound, the woman felt as if her brain had been struck with a stick, and the resistance that had been filling her body vanished instantly.
The woman looked as if she had just been pulled out of the water; she was soaking wet and panting heavily.
Before she could even realize where the voice was coming from, she looked up and saw the man tilting his head and staring intently at her.
Beneath the man's coat, tiny, eerie green eyes shimmered with a faint glow and blinked incessantly.
Each of those eyeballs was staring intently at every part of his body, as if they wanted to devour him with their gaze.
This eerie feeling left the woman frozen in place, her eyes wide with terror as she stared at the man's face.
