Chapter 254 The Shadow Woman's Purpose!
In less than a minute, a swift blue streak of light pierced through the glass of the building.
The specially made bulletproof glass shattered like plastic in the face of this terrifying magic. Qin Nan had no time to worry about the damage he had caused.
In an instant, they found themselves in the dimly lit corridor.
Qin Nan's eyes darted rapidly across the empty corridor as she anxiously searched for Tan Zhixin's figure.
She quickly found the black headset among the rubble.
This is a standard headset specially made by the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. All agents are equipped with the same model to prevent enemies from judging their class status through the headset.
However, while most people couldn't tell, Qin Nan was certain that the headset belonged to Tan Zhixin.
The wind told her.
The battle inside the building continued. The magical girls who remained at the Magic Bureau entered battle mode almost instantly. In fact, not only them, but even the Flower Fairies joined the fight.
At this moment, Qin Nan had no time to think too much. She released her magic power and tried urgently to find clues about Tan Zhixin.
She felt her heart pounding, and all sorts of guesses kept flashing through her mind, almost driving her crazy.
"Little Grey, Little Grey!"
Qin Nan's voice trembled violently, and her gaze was blank and helpless.
It looks like a ship that has lost its lighthouse in a dark, stormy night.
Little Grey hesitated for a moment, his tone somewhat suppressed. "I... I've already activated 'Demon Hunter's Vision,' but..."
The alarm from the Bureau of Demon Surveillance continued to sound, sharp and piercing, interspersed with the sounds of explosions. The ground trembled slightly, as if the building itself was tilting.
"Sister Tan, Sister Tan..."
Qin Nan's breathing became rapid, and she looked around hesitantly.
Others might not know, but she knew very well that Tan Zhixin had long since lost the ability to transform. Although she could still cast magic with difficulty, it was only a meager effort.
Without plants, Tan Zhixin couldn't even cast effective attack spells.
If Sister Tan suffers any harm because of this...
Thinking of this, Qin Nan felt as if her heart had been stabbed.
A feeling of suffocation washed over me.
Qin Nan swayed slightly, almost falling to the ground.
The biting night wind blew in through the broken window, through the long corridor, and reached Qin Nan's side, adding a chill to her body.
Suddenly, Qin Nan's eyes widened, and she quickly turned around as if she had sensed something.
The next moment, in the darkness behind her, two blurry figures slowly emerged from the shadows.
One of the figures was dressed in a white evening gown and wore a strange mask with only one eye on his face, while the other was completely black with eerie patterns covering his body.
An ominous and malevolent aura emanated from the area, causing Qin Nan to shudder and immediately grip the amethyst dagger tightly.
"Wait a moment!"
The shadowy figure suddenly shrank, and the armor vanished in the blink of an eye, revealing Tang Zijun's figure.
"Don't get agitated, Qin Nan, it's me."
Qin Nan's mind went blank for a moment, and then he suddenly realized what was going on.
This was the first time she had seen Chang Lei in his transformed state, and also the first time she had seen Tang Zijun in her Dark Shine Hermit form.
"Tang, Tang Zijun..." Qin Nan muttered to herself, then suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "Sister Tan, Sister Tan is missing!"
"Don't worry, I already know."
Tang Zijun could tell that Qin Nan's voice was already trembling with tears. He took a deep breath and turned to look at Chang Lei beside him.
"I'm leaving this to you. Clean up the monsters in the building as quickly as possible. The agents here are all key personnel, and we can't afford to lose a single one."
"Understood." Chang Lei didn't waste any words, turned around and disappeared from the spot.
As the deputy director of the Demon Surveillance Bureau, Chang Lei had long been unable to suppress his murderous intent.
Even though these humans were not related to him, he didn't know why, but at this moment, listening to the explosions coming from afar, he felt a little uneasy, as if something was urging him on.
This kind of thing would never have happened in the past.
Logically, the headquarters of the Demon Surveillance Bureau should have protective measures in place.
However, after Hua Xian sensed the presence of the Shadow Woman, in order to finish off this opponent as soon as possible, Shangguan Su sent Qiu Yun out.
Spanning half the distance of Dongda University, only Qiu Yun, who can transform into lightning, has the ability to arrive at the scene in time, and only she can capture Shadow Woman with a wave of her hand.
What no one expected was that Qiu Yun had just left when the Demon Surveillance Bureau building was attacked, and most importantly,
The attack originated from within.
"The enemy must have opened a passage to the shadow world from inside the building, but why didn't the flower fairies detect this power beforehand?" Tang Zijun frowned slightly.
He had just arrived here; a minute ago he was confronting an unknown heretical demon executive on the other side of the rift.
"You suspect there's a mole within the Demon Surveillance Bureau?" Qin Nan frowned.
Upon hearing this, Tang Zijun shook her head slightly. "It's hard to say right now. Most of the people in the bureau were vetted by Chang Lei back then. Even if they're new, they wouldn't be able to hide right under the nose of a Blue-level magical girl."
"Indeed, if it were a human being controlled by the power of shadow, then there would inevitably be marks left on their body, which the magical girl and the flower fairy could not possibly fail to notice," Little Grey chimed in.
"Is it possible that some fallen human being could control this shadow power?" Qin Nan speculated.
"That's highly unlikely. Humans are destined to be unable to control the power of the shadows. Don't forget those cases the bureau compiled before; those people were ultimately consumed by the shadows..."
At this point, Tang Zijun suddenly stopped, and her eyes changed slightly.
"What are you thinking about?" Qin Nan asked anxiously.
She was now extremely anxious and at a loss. As one of the women who had watched her grow up, although she always called Tan Zhixin "sister," the other woman did the same work as her mother.
At this moment, Tan Zhixin suddenly disappeared, and it is highly likely that she was kidnapped by the Shadow Clan. It is already a great deal of willpower for Qin Nan to maintain his mental state without breaking down.
Qin Nan is now entirely dependent on Tang Zijun for support.
Upon hearing Qin Nan's question, Tang Zijun's expression darkened slightly. Just now, he had thought of the possibility he least wanted to happen.
"What if the mole wasn't an agent from the Bureau of Demonic Investigations? Or what if the one summoning the Shadow Clan from inside the building wasn't human?"
"If it's not human, then it could be..."
Li was speaking when Qin Nan abruptly stopped, because she immediately understood Tang Zijun's unspoken meaning.
"...A magical girl...The one who summons the shadow race is a magical girl!?"
But as soon as he said this, Qin Nan shook his head violently.
"No, that's not right."
"How could the magical girls in the bureau be corrupted by the power of shadow?"
"The magical girls who remain in the building now are all lone wolves from various cities recommended by Sister Tan. They were transferred here a long time ago, so they shouldn't have any contact with the Shadow Clan."
"Never mind all that, the important thing now is that we need to find out what happened to Tan Zhixin." Tang Zijun shook her head slightly, then turned to look at Xiao Hui.
"I'll go check on the other magical girls right away."
Noticing Tang Zijun's gaze, Xiao Hui immediately flapped its wings and flew away.
"Why, why Sister Tan..."
Qin Nan bit her lower lip and lowered her head in pain.
Yes.
Hearing Qin Nan's voice, Tang Zijun also frowned.
They had already stormed the Demon Surveillance Bureau building.
There are so many high-ranking officials from the Demon Surveillance Bureau here.
If the other side is willing, they can devote their main forces to assassinating high-ranking officials of the Demon Surveillance Bureau.
Given the Shadow Clan's elusive abilities, and the fact that none of the four Blue-level magical girls were present, while they might not wipe out the Magic Bureau, they could certainly inflict heavy damage on it.
But what did the other party do?
The attacks—damaging power systems, interfering with communication systems—were completely unpredictable and random, as if they were intentionally trying to divert attention.
In the end, the only thing the other party did was to kidnap Tan Zhixin.
It feels like the Shadow Clan is like this dish of vinegar used to wrap dumplings...
Wait a minute.
A sudden flash of inspiration struck Tang Zijun.
In an instant, all the vague mysteries vanished.
Tan Zhixin!
It's Tan Zhixin!
That's what they've always believed from the very beginning!
Since the Shadow World is newly born and lacks sufficient resources, in order to stand on equal footing with the Outer Demons, Magical Girls, and Greedy Ones, the Shadow Woman must create enough cadres.
The other party's initial idea was probably to use the power of shadow to corrupt ordinary people.
However, the human body simply cannot withstand that power. In the end, although the power of the shadow world was increased, it was impossible for it to develop consciousness.
Then, the other party turned their attention to the magical girl.
Since the magical girls who had gotten on the right track were difficult to influence, the Shadow Girl turned her attention to the magical girls who had not yet awakened.
She succeeded.
She truly used the shadow of a magical girl to create a Shadow Clan member at the executive level.
But that was not her ultimate goal.
After learning of the Flower Fairy's existence, Shadow Girl knew very well that if the magical girl cooperated with the Flower Fairy, the Shadow Clan would no longer have a place in the future East University.
So what she needs is revenge? Or chaos?
Do not!
What she needs is enough power.
The invasions of various cities and the attacks on unawakened magical girls were all smokescreens she threw out. She even fooled the Outer Path Demon.
Throughout the entire process, the other party's goal remained unchanged.
A newly awakened magical girl, after falling into evil, can give birth to a Shadow Clan member at the executive level.
So...
If a magical girl who reached the Blue level more than ten years ago had fallen into corruption...
Thinking about this...
Tang Zijun felt her mouth was a little dry.
"Oh God..."
