Chapter 371 Going to the Comic Con?
"Going to Shanghai!?"
At the dinner table, watching Tang Cao excitedly stomping her feet across from her, Tang Zijun tilted her head with a strange expression.
Tang Cao brought up the news during dinner, catching Tang Zijun completely off guard. He glanced at Tang Cao, then looked at Su Siyao, who was grinning foolishly with her face in her hands, and quickly realized that this was probably another idea that these two girls came up with on a whim.
"So...why are we going to Shanghai?"
"Let's go to BW!" Tang Cao excitedly shook her phone, showing the screen to Tang Zijun before quickly putting it away. "I've wanted to go for ages, but my parents have always disagreed."
"What is BW?" Little Grey secretly approached Qin Nan and asked in a low voice.
Qin Nan ate her food while mumbling indistinctly, "It's a comic convention organized by Bilibili... It's held every year, and they've already had several editions, usually around summer vacation."
"Comic conventions... don't sound very interesting..." Upon hearing this, Gray shook his head and walked to the side.
However, his voice displeased Tangcao. "How can you say anime conventions are boring? This isn't your average anime convention!"
"Oh? That sounds unusual?"
"Of course! The people going to BW come from all over the country, and even many famous voice actors will participate, along with veteran cosplayers and content creators. It's a truly grand event!"
"so what?"
"What do you mean, 'so'?"
"Isn't this still a comic convention?"
"Ughhhhh! I can't reason with a parrot like you!"
Tang Cao clutched her head and let out a wail, then slumped onto the table, staring at Tang Zijun with a pitiful expression.
"Brother...you love me the most, right? You'll understand me, right? Please, this is the only thing I've ever wanted in my life..."
"Your ambitions in this life are pretty low." Tang Zijun sighed, rubbing his forehead in exasperation. "It's not that you can't go if you want to."
"Yay!"
Before the words were even finished, Tang Cao and Su Siyao began to cheer.
"Wait, I haven't finished yet." Tang Zijun waved her hand. "You can go if you want, but are you really sure? BW isn't something just anyone can participate in."
"Huh?" Tang Cao and Su Siyao exchanged a glance, then craned their necks. "Brother, what... what do you mean by that? Are there some unspoken rules about attending comic conventions?"
"It's the weather, the weather!"
Tang Zijun extended the index and middle fingers of both hands and bent them in mid-air.
"You haven't forgotten what happened in the past few years, have you? We're having dinner, so I won't mention the Splatoon incident from last year, but don't forget last year's 'Sichen, heavy rain detected ahead,' the year before last's 'I got caught in the rain, it must be Mi X You who dried it,' and the year before that's 'Doctor, welcome back to Hong Kong'... I could go on and on, but I think you understand what I mean."
"Oh yeah... why does it always rain at comic conventions..." Su Siyao turned to look at Tang Cao curiously.
"Because it's rainy a lot in Shanghai this time of year."
Tang Cao raised her head, thought about it seriously for a moment, and then spoke.
"It's okay! It's just raining. How can a little downpour dampen my determination to go to the comic convention!"
"Anyway, as long as you're mentally prepared, I don't care," Tang Zijun shrugged, then looked at the others. "But before that, you'll have to convince the others."
"Sister Nan!!!"
Before Tang Zijun could finish speaking, Tang Cao and Su Siyao pounced on Qin Nan, who was enjoying his meal.
"Hey, hey, hey! I'm drinking soup, I'm drinking soup... Ugh, I'll go, okay?" Qin Nan almost dropped the bowl in her hand, then paused before looking up and saying, "But, if we all go, who's going to look after Snow City?"
"You can put this down; I already thought of that!"
Tangcao leaped up and walked behind Katie, grinning with his teeth showing.
"I've already spoken to my little sister. Katie's train can bring us back in a few minutes. As soon as the agents from the Magic Bureau detect the presence of the Outer Path, we can come back to help!"
Katie didn't say anything, but just winked and smiled at Tang Zijun.
Tang Cao was unaware that Katie's train was able to return in such a short time thanks to the Reverse World. Ever since Tang Zijun unlocked the Reverse World for her, she could freely enter and exit various mirror channels.
Moreover, after the access to the Shadow World was unlocked, Katie could also move freely in the Shadow World, although she generally didn't go there now that the Shadow Corridor was badly damaged.
"Everyone agrees." Tang Cao made a praying gesture with her hands, blinking her big, starry eyes at Tan Zhixin. "Sister Tan..."
Seeing this, Tan Zhixin simply smiled gently.
"After working in a flower shop for over ten years, it's nice to go out and relax a bit."
"Okay! I'll go buy you tickets right now!" Tang Cao skipped and hopped towards her room.
"Come back and finish your meal first!"
"oh..."
Tangcao came back bouncing around again.
The meal was quite lively.
After finishing their meal, Tang Cao excitedly pulled Su Siyao back to their room.
Qin Nan carried the bowls and plates back to the kitchen one by one, and then followed Tang Zijun in.
"What are you doing? You just went through a big battle, why don't you go and rest for a while?"
"Let me help you," Qin Nan said, rubbing his hands together with a grin.
"Come on, don't be so helpful." Tang Zijun put the plate in the dishwasher, then poured some dish soap into the pot. "Just tell me what's wrong, I'll do my best to help."
"Um, um..." Qin Nan licked her lips, looking a little embarrassed. After a while, she leaned closer to Tang Zijun. "Brother Tang, is it true that Katie can take people into the dream world?"
"It's true..." Tang Zijun answered subconsciously, then suddenly remembered something and turned to stare at Qin Nan. "Wait, you're not thinking of coming along, are you?"
"Hehehe..." Qin Nan scratched his head, looking as if his thoughts had been guessed.
After laughing for a while, she tentatively asked, "Is it okay?"
Looking at her hopeful face, Tang Zijun hesitated and stopped her work. "I can let you come along... but don't get excited! I'm not taking you there for fun; the situation there is much more complicated than we imagine."
Upon hearing this, Qin Nan's smile faded. "I heard from Hyacinth that the dream world is currently in the midst of a war of the gods, right? And it's a very, very brutal one..."
"More or less." Tang Zijun didn't say much, because explaining this was too complicated. "Actually, even if you hadn't said anything, I was planning to talk to you about this in a couple of days. I can't handle things in the dream world by myself. If you could come with me, you could help me a lot."
"Really?" Qin Nan's eyes lit up.
Tang Zijun didn't know why the girl suddenly became happy again, so he continued, "I originally wanted to bring Lao Chang along, but as you know, he's quite busy with work. As the deputy director, he can't possibly have time to accompany me to another world all the time."
"You...didn't you ever think of having Sister Tan go with you?" Qin Nan blinked awkwardly and asked softly.
"Your sister Tan is just an advisor, so she's not as convenient as you in taking action. Besides, I'm planning to ask her to handle the issues with the shadow community. She and Shi Yao were old teammates, so they have a good working relationship."
"Distracted..." Qin Nan was stunned.
To be honest, Qin Nan didn't have much affection for this woman who frequently attacked her, but after learning about the woman's relationship with Tan Zhixin, she temporarily put aside her resentment. "How is she now?"
"I don't know. I haven't seen her yet. With Trova watching over her, she should be fine," Tang Zijun said, wiping her hands with a rag. "But you reminded me, I really do need to go."
Qin Nan nodded slightly. "Then you'll order it back?"
"I'm not sure... If it doesn't work out, I'll just stay at Lao Chang's place for the night. He's even prepared an office for me, the kind with a smart bed." After saying that, Tang Zijun added in a deep voice, "It was fine when I lived with Tang Cao before, but now it seems this place is a bit too small. Perfect, I'll go ask if there are any bigger apartments nearby."
"oh."
After changing her shoes in the entryway, Tang Zijun took her keys and went out.
Of course, he didn't actually "go out." He had just closed the security door when he turned around and stepped into the reflection.
As soon as Tang Zijun took a step forward, her eyes were immediately brightened, and her field of vision expanded, revealing a lush green landscape.
Trova was the first to discover Tang Zijun's existence. As the main body of the New Tree Crown Royal City, she had integrated her branches and tendrils into the surrounding space, like a spider web. Any entity that entered or left this place would be sensed by her the moment it broke through the space.
"You've arrived."
Just as Tang Zijun was pondering which way to go, Trova's voice slowly emerged from all directions.
