Chapter 281 Reversal Rules
Once the "passengers" appear, they seem unable to disappear.
At this moment, they were sitting in their seats with extreme caution, looking like company employees facing a leader's inspection, afraid that their little actions would be seen and result in a pay cut.
Tang Zijun parked the stroller at the bathroom entrance and pulled Tang Cao to find a seat.
"What about your train rules? Are they also published in newspapers?"
Tang Zijun asked casually, and before she finished speaking, the "passenger" next to her handed her a newspaper.
"Thank you."
Slightly taken aback, Tang Zijun thanked her.
The passenger nodded with a silly grin, then turned away and resumed his blank, vacant look.
Seeing this, Tang Cao felt her worldview collapse.
"Dude, how...how did you do that?"
"So, I'm more likable?" Tang Zijun didn't know how to explain, after all, this was his first time encountering this kind of power.
Rules, or laws.
This is an indescribable power that was born when a single dimension was formed. Only the most powerful and talented beings in that dimension could possibly touch that level of power.
Just like the laws of the Shadow World, the Reverse World also has its own laws. The last being to hold the power of the Reverse World was the God of Mirror Food and Greed, and now, this power has been handed over to Tang Zijun.
To be honest, Tang Zijun didn't have much knowledge about this kind of power.
The last time he faced Sir Skull was the first time he used this "divine power," and it was at that time that he discovered what he was capable of.
I originally thought that the laws of the Reverse World would only apply to the Reverse World, but I never expected that this power could actually affect the Surface World.
Looking at the train rules in the newspaper, sure enough, the original rules regarding "train attendants" had changed, and there was even an additional rule at the bottom.
[Rule (41): For safety reasons, all passengers are not allowed to leave their seats while the train is in motion. Violators will be held responsible for any consequences.]
In another carriage, Qin Nan looked on in bewilderment as the passengers who had just attacked him suddenly returned to their seats obediently.
Tang Zijun placed the newspaper on the small table and smiled with interest.
He then looked up at Tang Cao and spoke.
"Actually, I don't know why either. Maybe it's because I'm a bit 'special'. I seem to be able to influence and change the rules of this surface world to some extent."
"Enough to change the rules of the surface world?!" Tang Cao had suspected it, but upon hearing Tang Zijun's words, she couldn't help but exclaim. "Is such a thing really possible?"
"I've already done it, haven't I?" Tang Zijun spread her hands.
"But this is the outer world! A whole world! How could an ordinary person like you do this, brother!?" Tang Cao said.
"...Can an 'ordinary person' be a six-star agent of the Demon Surveillance Bureau?" Xiaobai rolled her eyes from the side.
Although she didn't know what had happened, she knew that nothing was surprising about Tang Zijun; it was just a train with no end in sight. Tang Zijun was an existence that controlled an entire mirror dimension.
Hearing Xiaobai's rambling, Tangcao suddenly realized what was going on.
"By the way, Six-Star Agent! Bro, is it because you can enter that dream world that you're so special?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Zijun blinked blankly. He was still wondering how to explain this to Tang Cao, but unexpectedly, the other party had covered for him.
Without the slightest hesitation, Tang Zijun nodded emphatically. "That's right, it must be!"
"But I still feel like it doesn't quite make sense." Tang Cao rubbed her hair, then pouted and looked seriously at Tang Zijun. "Brother, you really don't have any kind of system?"
"System? Of course not, why would you ask that?" Tang Zijun's lips twitched.
"Something feels off... It's incredibly dangerous for us and our other magical girl sisters to enter the real world, and for ordinary people, it's almost certain death. Yet you came in and nothing happened to you, and you even found yourself a job. It's really strange no matter how you look at it!"
"Perhaps there are still some secrets in the real world that haven't been discovered yet, or maybe, as you said, I'm just a special person." Tang Zijun shrugged.
He's adamant about sticking to this explanation and won't budge.
Even when it came to Shangguan Su, Tang Zijun was prepared to say the same thing.
"Never mind, never mind." Tang Cao waved her hand casually. "If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it. Anyway, it's good that you're alright, brother. Let's go find Sister Nan. When we were communicating with magic earlier, it sounded quite 'lively' on her end."
Tang Zijun naturally knew what Tang Cao meant by "lively"; he had seen it clearly in the reflection earlier.
With Tang Zijun's identity as a "flight attendant," the tightly closed door made no attempt to stop the two and quickly opened automatically.
Tang Zijun pushed the cart ahead with a happy expression, while Tang Cao followed behind, eating snacks one small bite at a time.
The happiest one was Xiaobai. Ever since Tang Zijun appeared, she had completely relaxed, lying in the stroller playing with sausages.
The carriage was extremely quiet; it was completely empty, with only faint breathing echoing in the seats.
The arrival of Tang Zijun and her group did not attract any unnecessary attention. The other passengers were all well-behaved and did not seem to even glance at Tang Zijun.
Tang Cao was quite nervous at first, but she gradually relaxed.
I thought that since I brought my older brother along, I should protect him at all times. But in the blink of an eye, my brother has become a part of the Rules of the Strange Tales, and it seems that he has a pretty high status.
Tang Zijun remained silent, pondering his connection to the surface world.
After learning that the rules had changed because of her, Tang Zijun vaguely felt that she had developed a slight connection with the train.
This feeling is just like when I was with [Langya] back then.
It seems that this connection was formed the moment the train rules were changed because of me. Although it was subtle and hard to notice, there was indeed some connection.
Tang Zijun was unsure whether this connection was independent of her or above the rules. It seemed that since she took over the power of the Reversal World, she hadn't used this power much, and she didn't even know how to use it.
The laws of the reversed world are difficult to describe in words. In a macro sense, it is "reversing everything". Anything can be shaped into a corresponding mirror version in the reversed world.
At the same time, the laws of the Reversed World are also linked to the access rights to enter the Reversed World.
However, the difference is that, according to Tang Zijun's experiments, this permission can currently only be granted to those with extraordinary abilities.
The Flower Fairy clan can now basically enter and exit the Reverse World freely, but they are very obedient, except for Hyacinth.
The other flower fairies won't run around.
The other two people who unlocked the permissions are Qin Nan and Xiao Hui; they can now also pass through the mirror.
Tang Zijun also secretly tried it on ordinary people, but unfortunately, even if she opened up the permissions, ordinary people could not freely enter the reversal channel, and she didn't know why.
Apart from that, Tang Zijun didn't know much about the other laws of the Reversed World.
If Tang Zijun hadn't entered this surface world, she wouldn't have realized that her influence was so great, even enough to force other smaller dimensions to modify their laws for her.
But it was precisely because of this that Tang Zijun suddenly remembered the loss.
If I remember correctly, it seems that the Lost One used the rules of the Shadow World to occupy multiple Surface Worlds, and then used the authority of the Surface Worlds to corrupt them into something like the Shadow Corridor.
Could this also be interpreted as meaning that one possesses the same power?
If he so desired, having mastered the laws of the Reverse World, he could at any time erode and rewrite everything in the surface world, transforming it into a part of the Reverse World.
Once the idea popped into her head, Tang Zijun couldn't ignore it anymore; the more she thought about it, the more she wanted to give it a try.
It's important to understand that the surface world is a buffer zone between the real world and the inner world.
If I can merge the surface world into the reverse world, then this might be the first step in pulling myself into the inner world.
If I slowly nibble away at it, maybe one day I'll be able to find a way to enter the inner world!
"What are you thinking about, bro?"
Just as Tang Zijun was deep in thought, Tang Cao's voice suddenly rang out from the side.
As soon as Tang Zijun turned her head, she saw Tang Cao stuff a piece of chocolate into her mouth.
"Try this, it's strawberry flavored. By the way, bro, how long is this train anyway? Didn't you even count how long you walked all the way from the back carriages?"
"About ten episodes, I think, but I've forgotten," Tang Zijun said casually while chewing on chocolate.
Although he hadn't counted them, he could see the interior of each train car using the mirror. The train had a total of forty-seven cars, and each one was about the same, equally dilapidated.
"I wonder how Sister Nan is doing. I'll ask her." Tang Cao blinked, then began to call out to Qin Nan in her heart.
Tang Zijun was also a little curious upon hearing this. When he looked at Qin Nan earlier, she was busy fighting monsters. He wondered if his changes to the rules had affected her.
Thinking of this, Tang Zijun adjusted her glasses.
The next moment, the reflection in the glasses changed, and a scene completely different from the passageway in front of her entered Tang Zijun's field of vision. At the same time, Tang Zijun also saw Qin Nan and Xiao Hui's figures—she was stuffing suitcases from the train into the reflection in the window, and various retro ornaments and decorations were being sent home through the reverse passage.
Upon seeing this, Tang Zijun was first stunned, then her eyes widened suddenly.
Who told you that inverted channels are used like that?!
Are you buying goods here?!
