Chapter 243 Another Deputy Director
The two stood in front of the headquarters building of the Demon Surveillance Bureau. As soon as they got out of the car, Qin Nan stretched.
"By the way, I didn't ask earlier, but you and Xiao Hui were quite exhausted this time. Why didn't you rest properly and came here with me?" Tang Zijun looked at Qin Nan.
"Oh, it's about Huaxian. Lao Chang informed me beforehand that the bureau is going to promote cooperation with Huaxian and will hold a meeting or something. After that, the General Administration will send someone to pick me up, so I should prepare in advance."
Qin Nan took out her phone and shook it.
"I just woke up and saw it too."
"Are you going to the meeting too?" Tang Zijun had barely finished speaking when she realized she had asked a stupid question.
"Of course I have to go. My great-grandfather's connections are there for all to see. He was the bridge between the two races back then, and now he's the perfect foundation for cooperation." Qin Nan shrugged.
Then she suddenly leaned her head close to Tang Zijun's. "Why don't you take Tang Cao with you? We can keep each other company."
"My six-star agent status hasn't been approved yet, what would I do there?" Tang Zijun said casually. "You can go by yourself, Tang Cao still has homework to do."
"...Ah...Go ahead, go ahead...It'll be more lively with lots of people."
"You think this is a market or temple fair? What kind of occasion is that? Even the evening news would take up at least ten minutes of that, and you call that crowded and lively? ::"
Tang Zijun blinked. "Wait, you're not... scared, are you?"
"Nonsense! Who, who's scared?" Qin Nan turned her head, a little awkwardly. "I'm just... I'm just not good at handling those kinds of situations..."
Seeing this, Tang Zijun smiled and shook her head. "Alright, it's not like you're alone. Master Qingnang is with you too. It's just a meeting and a formality; it won't take long."
"They won't let me speak on stage, will they?" Qin Nan asked cautiously.
"Probably not. Even if they did, they would have told you in advance. Such a serious matter definitely requires rehearsal, so don't be too nervous," Tang Zijun reassured her.
"That's good." Qin Nan breathed a sigh of relief. "If you want me to go on stage and speak, you might as well send me back to the surface world to fight that Shadow Lion for three hundred rounds."
"It can't be that bad."

"Why not? It's not that bad. What I hate most is being stared at in public. Standing on a high platform with a group of people staring at you... just thinking about it makes me uncomfortable."
Tang Zijun really didn't understand Qin Nan's resistance.
After all, he was the "Prince of Love Songs" back in school, and every New Year's Day he would stand on the stage and sing.
Tang Zijun honestly quite enjoyed the scene of showing off his charm in front of others, because he was actually a nobody before he transmigrated.
After staring at Qin Nan for a while, Tang Zijun asked, "If you don't like being stared at, why do you dress so unconventionally?"
"My personal preferences don't matter." Qin Nan snorted, paused, then couldn't help turning her head. "Speaking of which... is it a bit inappropriate for me to wear this to a meeting...?"
Tang Zijun thought for a moment. "It's indeed not suitable, but don't worry too much. They'll definitely prepare clothes for you. Even if they don't, you can just transform."
"Okay, that's certainly one way to do it." Qin Nan stroked his chin.
Just then, a barely perceptible rumbling sound came from afar.
Tang Zijun frowned and immediately turned to look at the distant western horizon.
At first, there was only a faint glimmer of light flashing in the sky, but then a burst of lightning appeared and swept across the clouds at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Lightning spread out from the top of the clouds, approaching from afar. It was like a nimble silver snake, weaving and slithering through the thick clouds. Only its light could be seen, but its true form could not be discerned.
The silver light drew closer and closer, appearing in the sky above Tang Zijun's head in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Qin Nan and Xiao Hui also realized what was happening.
In an instant, the lightning above the clouds, like a sharp sword, ripped the clouds apart.
Click!
Like a bolt from the blue, the lightning, carrying a dazzling light, illuminated the world in the blink of an eye and struck directly in front of Tang Zijun and Qin Nan.
The loud thunderclap made the two of them take a few steps back, and Tang Zijun frowned as she shielded Qin Nan behind her.
A cloud of dust rose from the spot where the lightning struck, and before anyone could react, in the blink of an eye...
A human-shaped outline emerged.
The man emerged from the silver light of the lightning.
A faint sense of oppression spread out, and the first thing Tang Zijun saw was the other person's sharp eyes.
It was calm and still, yet exceptionally bright, with even faint flashes of lightning in its pupils.
Qin Nan stood there dumbfounded, staring in disbelief at the woman who had appeared before him, speechless for a moment.
"Lightning...lightning magical girl..." Little Gray stammered.
It's no wonder he reacted so strongly, mainly because magical girls with lightning element are extremely rare, and they are top-tier attributes that can stand on the same level as ice element like Tangcao.
It's safe to say that you might not find even one magical girl with ice or lightning elements among ten thousand magical girls, but Qin Nan never expected that he would actually see two alive.
Unlike the newcomer Tangcao, the magical girl in front of her gave her a feeling of unease just from the slight aura she exuded.
Qin Nan had never experienced such a level of magic before.
The all-encompassing suppression of high-level elements and magic even made Qin Nan feel that the surrounding magic was out of control.
It was as if the moment this woman appeared, all the magic became her servant, and even the wind, which was most compatible with Qin Nan, broke free from her control at that moment.
Staring blankly at the strange woman in front of him, Qin Nan couldn't help but wonder in his heart—just how strong is this woman?
The woman walked towards Qin Nan step by step, her high heels making a rhythmic, crisp sound on the ground.
Qin Nan could feel a powerful aura pressing down on her. Although she guessed it might be psychological, since the other party was intentionally suppressing their magic.
Just then, Tang Zijun stepped between her and the woman.
"Who are you?"
Upon hearing Tang Zijun's calm question, the woman finally turned her gaze to the man in front of her.
From the moment she appeared, the woman's eyes never left Qin Nan, but now, looking at Tang Zijun,
A fleeting, enigmatic expression crossed her face.
A smile played at the corners of her lips, and the woman tilted her head slightly.
"Hello, Qiu Yun, Deputy Director of the Demon Surveillance Bureau."
Deputy Director?
Tang Zijun raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
He really didn't expect that the woman in front of him would be another deputy director of the Demon Supervision Bureau besides Chang Lei.
It seems that this person is another "big shot" that Shangguan Su invited after Tan Zhixin refused the position of deputy director.
Now that the Demon Surveillance Bureau has been established, the higher-ups naturally cannot all be ordinary people. In addition to demonstrating their skills and making the best use of resources, it is also standard practice to find a master to oversee things.
Judging from the terrifying magical power she exudes, this Qiu Yun is undoubtedly one of the four blue-level magical girls.
He never expected the woman in front of him to be so young. She looked about the same age as him, and even younger than Tan Zhixin.
No wonder Chang Lei dragged me to Harbin so early in the morning; he must have received the letter and slipped away beforehand.
This guy...
Just as Tang Zijun was pondering, Qiu Yun spoke up again. "Where is Deputy Director Chang? I remember I already sent the itinerary to Chief of Staff Ma in advance."
"Ahem, Deputy Director Chang is currently dealing with important matters in Bingcheng," Tang Zijun said casually.
Qiu Yun's smile remained unchanged, as if she had anticipated this situation. "Your Deputy Director Chang really does everything himself."
Tang Zijun pretended not to notice the hidden meaning in the other person's words and said calmly, "Deputy Director Chang can't sit still. He handles all the big and small matters in our district."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Yun sized up the man in front of her.
With her well-proportioned figure, delicate features, and inexpensive, plain clothes, she was no different from any other passerby in a crowd.
However, this face caught Qiu Yun's attention. She remembered seeing this face somewhere not long ago.
After a moment's thought, I remembered.
"You are... Tang Zijun, right?"
"Does Director Qiu know me?" Tang Zijun was taken aback.
Such a person would be someone you would remember for a long time even if you just brushed past them, but in his memory, he had never had any contact with them.
"The only six-star agent in the bureau, I remember Deputy Director Chang mentioned it when he applied for you. It seems you can travel between the dream world unintentionally," Qiu Yun said.
Tang Zijun had already reconciled the accounts with Chang Lei, so she wasn't too surprised. "That's true,"
"Director Qiu, you've also heard of the dream world?"
Qiu Yun remained silent for a moment, then slowly revealed a smile.
No answer is an answer in itself.
Then, she turned her gaze to Qin Nan, who had been hiding behind Tang Zijun without saying a word.
"You must be Qin Nan. I'm here to pick you up. I'll take you there; it'll be much faster than by plane."
"
Hearing this, Qin Nan cautiously peeked out. "This, this is so sorry, I could have just told you and flown over myself, why did you have to go through all this trouble?"
Qiu Yun smiled faintly. "The bureau values this meeting highly. The cooperation with the Flower Fairy Clan is something that deserves to be remembered in human history, so no accidents are allowed."
"Does the bureau suspect someone is trying to sabotage this meeting?" Tang Zijun frowned slightly.
"It's just about being fully prepared. Things haven't been peaceful for outsiders lately, and the Shadow Clan has also shown signs of a counterattack."
"At this juncture, we must take every action seriously," Qiu Yun replied.
Speaking of this, Qin Nan immediately said, "The Shadow Clan might also target other awakened sisters; we must be on guard."
"Don't worry, the department has already taken this into consideration."
Qiu Yun glanced calmly at the two people in front of him and continued speaking softly.
"Although on the surface this is the first meeting between the Flower Fairy Clan and the Demon Surveillance Bureau, in fact, our cooperation with the Flower Fairy Clan has already begun."
"While I was here to find you, the flower fairies and their sisters had already traveled to various cities where magical girls might be born."
"As long as the Shadow Clan dares to show themselves, we can ensure their safety..."
"No one will return."
