"Actually, this is a good thing," Tang Zijun said softly, looking at Juan Erduo. "Although the supernatural environment of this era isn't great, it makes it very convenient for us to move around, isn't it?"
"Yes."
The curly-eared creature twitched its ears and blinked.
"If there are very few magical girls and demons in this timeline, then we just need to avoid the greed-seeing. That shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?"
"Of course not." Tang Zijun crossed her arms and chuckled. "The fact that I can easily find myself in this timeline means that my divine status is still useful in this timeline. With this ability, other greedy beings would have no way of discovering my existence."
"So where should we go to find the train crash site next?" Curly-eared boy tilted his head. "If that train crashed from the sky, it would definitely attract a lot of attention, right?"
"It's unlikely to be a sudden fall from the sky," Tang Zijun said calmly after a moment's thought. "The Reverse World has no concept of distance, and similarly, no timeline. When we fall into this time anchor point together, we'll simply appear in a certain location, without making a huge commotion like a falling meteor."
Upon hearing this, Curly Ears nodded thoughtfully.
However, she quickly realized something and couldn't help but speak up. "Wouldn't that make it much more difficult for us to find them? What if they make their move first...?"
"You don't need to worry about that. Although I can't guarantee that I can foresee the other party's situation in advance, it won't be that easy for that thing to carry out an assassination."
As he spoke, Tang Zijun took out the red booklet and shook it. It was given to him by Shangguan Su before he set off, and it contained information on all the people on the assassination list—including their whereabouts in 2014.
"I've already focused some of my senses on their reflections. If those androids launch an attack, I'll know immediately."
"Your ability is so convenient," said Curly Ears, his face full of envy.
Tang Zijun just smiled. "It's not as convenient as yours."
"?"
Looking at the somewhat adorable little bunny, Tang Zijun's lips curled up slightly. "The advantages of the Reversed World alone can't help me find those guys. Your perception ability should still be useful, right?"
"It is useful, but you don't expect me to use negative energy to sense the whereabouts of those omnics, do you? Don't forget, omnics are not heretics or greedy beings; they don't have negative energy." Curly-eared said blankly.
"Of course I haven't forgotten, and I'm not asking you to perceive them. I hope you can perceive some entrances to the surface world."
"The entrance to the surface world?" Curly-eared man was slightly taken aback.
Tang Zijun nodded and continued, "Those androids entered the timeline through the backdoor of the surface world. I don't recognize the three-headed guy, but I guess he's also an artificial god, because I've seen a similar one before. He's most likely the energy source for that train."
"The only possibility for them to fall into the timeline in a state of loss is that they crash directly into a certain world of the surface, since the buffer that the surface world provides to the real world is not only spatial, but also temporal."
Hearing Tang Zijun's words, Juan Erduo nodded thoughtfully, then asked with some doubt, "If that's the case, why didn't we enter the surface world when we arrived here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Juan Erduo saw Tang Zijun staring at him with an extremely strange expression.
Feeling a little uneasy under their gaze, she curled her ears and moved her mouth slightly.
"W-what's wrong?"
"What else? Have you forgotten who you are?" Tang Zijun asked, arms crossed, with a mix of amusement and exasperation.
My own identity?
Curly-eared boy blinked, then suddenly realized what was happening.
She herself is a spirit beast that has signed a contract with Katie, and Katie is a living, breathing entity in the world. This approach is completely different from the actions of those omnics.
One uses a backdoor in the world of appearances, while the other directly pulls the world of appearances along. The difference between the two is obvious.
"No wonder..." Curly-eared muttered, then perked up. "Alright then, I'll help you sense the locations of those surface worlds, but which one should we start with?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Zijun shook the red notebook in her hand.
"It was all prepared long ago. In addition to recording the names of the people on the list, Director Shangguan also wrote down the surface worlds that have been discovered and contained by the Bureau of Demon Surveillance, including some that have not yet been explored."
It has to be said that the Bureau of Demon Surveillance really helped a lot this time.
Even with Tang Zijun's help using the Reversal World, it would take a very long time for her to locate the intelligent machines in each of the surface worlds, relying solely on Curly-Eared Rabbit.
But now, with these files compiled by the Bureau of Demonic Supervision, their workload will be greatly reduced.
These records are not only from within the Bureau of Magic Supervision, but the Flower Fairy Clan also contributed greatly, because only they have the ability to quickly locate the positions of those in the surface world.
Following the coordinates marked on the red book, Tang Zijun, carrying Juan Erduo, vanished in a flash from the reflection of the riverbank.
The scene shifted, and the entire field of vision brightened up.
Upon entering this world, Curly Ears was immediately stunned by the bizarre and wonderful sights before him.
She had never entered the Reversed World before. No, that's not entirely accurate. It should be said that she had never entered the Reversed World under normal circumstances before.
As Tang Zijun looked at the scene before her, a touch of reminiscence arose in her eyes.
The sky in sight was a strange bluish-purple, as if it had been distorted by some mysterious force. Thick clouds swirled rapidly overhead like vortexes, flashing with lightning of various colors from time to time, but no thunder could be heard.
The street beneath my feet seemed quite ordinary, like most cities, full of potholes. There were also some tilted streetlights along the roadside, emitting a dim and hazy yellow light. The shops on the street had a dazzling array of goods in their windows, but upon closer inspection, the displayed items had an indescribable strangeness. The dolls in the mannequins' arms had cold eyes that seemed to be spying on the person and the rabbit in front of them.
Curly-eared creature, its mouth agape, stammered, "This...this...could this be...?"
"Mmm." Tang Zijun ruffled her hair. "This is the Reversed World—the Reversed World nine years ago."
Only by experiencing this can one truly understand the extent of the changes Tang Zijun has brought to the Reversal World.
If the Reversal World under Tang Zijun's rule was relatively sunny and bright, then the current Reversal World is nothing short of hell.
Everything around seemed alive. From the moment he stepped in, a strange sense of being watched enveloped him, making Juan Erduo's heart beat faster.
"This place is currently the stronghold of the greedy, filled with negative energy. See those strange toys? Don't be afraid, they are just carriers of negative energy and have no consciousness of their own."
Tang Zijun pointed to the scary dolls in the shop window and explained softly.
"They will automatically attack anyone who wanders in here, but it has nothing to do with greedy people."
Only the reflection of humanity can give birth to a greedy being; other substances are very difficult to create. It has been many years since a non-human being like Langya appeared.
"Will they attack us?" Curly-eared dolls huddled in Tang Zijun's arms, somewhat afraid to look the dolls in the eye.
"Don't worry, even if you gave them two lives, they wouldn't dare," Tang Zijun chuckled. "Do you think my God of Greed is some kind of joke? With me here, they won't dare come near."
As they were talking, Tang Zijun suddenly frowned slightly.
At the same time, he looked into the distance and murmured to himself.
"However, it's a bit hard to say if it's someone else who's greedy..."
