Why is My Magical Life in a Gal Art Style?
Chapter 27: The Hermitage
The heads of various departments in Chengshan City, including the Magic Enforcement Bureau, Traffic Management Department, Public Security Management Department, Forestry Management Department, and Residents' Coordination Center, were all seated in this meeting room.
As the head of the Chengshan City Magicians Association branch, Li Xuelan wields immense power in Chengshan City.
However, she still showed some restraint in front of Su Yinyue, the investigator from headquarters.
After Li Xuelan confirmed Su Yinyue's identity, the group of leaders present all wore serious expressions.
This woman named Su Yinyue was not an ordinary investigator, because she was wearing a golden mage's robe, which meant that she was a member of the highest level of the Mage Association.
The investigation itself gives this position authority that surpasses that of the head of a branch of the Mage's Guild.
Including this golden mage's robe... it's safe to say that if Su Yinyue wanted to, she could immediately take over all departments in Chengshan City.
Combined with Li Xuelan's specific emphasis on "being fully responsible for matters concerning magical girls," everyone in charge immediately received a clear signal—headquarters attached great importance to the so-called magical girl performance.
"Everyone, from now on, in any matters involving magical girls, you must fully cooperate with me," Su Yinyue said.
Without any hesitation, everyone present nodded in agreement.
Just kidding, if you're even a little slow to answer at a time like this, you can pack your bags and leave immediately.
"These are the video materials we have collected so far about magical girls. Please take a look, Investigator." Li Xuelan pushed a laptop in front of Su Yinyue.
Su Yinyue glanced at Li Xuelan, said nothing, and quickly began to carefully and attentively read through the document.
The meeting room was quiet; the only sounds were Su Yinyue occasionally sliding the mouse and typing on the keyboard.
Two minutes later, Su Yinyue gradually frowned.
Although she could only get a general idea from these video materials, Su Yinyue had already analyzed some anomalies.
The first anomaly was the appearance of two monsters in the residential area. The main issue was that these two monsters appeared within five minutes of each other, something that had never happened before.
Monsters are the lingering resentment of a deceased mage, formed by absorbing magical energy from the surrounding space. Once a monster is destroyed, the resentment in an area will inevitably dissipate, and it is impossible for it to recover in a short period of time.
The first monster was kicked to death by the silver-haired magical girl, and the law enforcement team confirmed that the monster had disappeared. However, a few minutes later, a second monster appeared, which was clearly abnormal.
Then there's the second anomaly, which appears in the case of the blonde magical girl.
The scissors in the blonde girl's hand did not have any flashing magic symbols, which suggests that the scissors were likely not magical artifacts as understood by magicians.
But if it's not a magical artifact, then what could that pair of scissors be?
The third anomaly was that the two magical girls' clothing, attire, and fighting style were completely different from those of the magicians.
Furthermore, there was no sign of magical circuits being constructed during their flight. Judging from the video of them kicking a monster to death, the physical strength of these so-called magical girls is also extremely extraordinary.
In Su Yinyue's view, the so-called magical girl might be different from a magician in essence.
Oh, and there's that talking, strange creature that looks like an orange cat. It really looks like a little sprite from an anime.
Su Yinyue closed her laptop, pondered for a moment, and then turned to look at Li Xuelan: "Have you compared the facial data with the residents' database?"
"The comparison has been conducted, and no residents matching the corresponding facial features were found." Li Xuelan shook her head.
"Is that so?" Su Yinyue was not surprised.
The fact that these two magical girls can move around without any concealment is enough to prove that they are not afraid of their identities being exposed.
Su Yinyue gathered her thoughts, placed her hands on the table, and scanned everyone present: "My requirements for you are very simple."
"That means finding out the addresses and true identities of these two magical girls as quickly as possible."
"If their address and true identity are confirmed, they must notify me immediately; unauthorized contact is strictly prohibited."
"Of course, if they notice, but don't show any hostility..." Su Yinyue's voice carried a hint of seriousness: "We can offer generous terms to appease them first."
"Your Excellency the Investigator," the head of the Magic Enforcement Bureau stood up, "what if they attack without saying a word?"
A cold glint flashed in Su Yinyue's eyes: "If they want to fight, then we'll use the necessary means."
The air in the conference room seemed to freeze.
Su Yinyue spoke the words "necessary means" lightly, but everyone present knew what they meant.
"Did you remember?" Su Yinyue's eyes slowly swept across everyone's faces.
All the leaders felt a chill run down their spines, then hurriedly nodded in response: "Yes! We understand."
"The meeting is adjourned."
Su Yinyue quickly stood up, her magnificent golden mage robe gleaming like fire under the lamplight.
"Oh, right, Xue Lan, come with me." Su Yinyue said this and turned to walk out of the conference room without looking back.
The sound of high heels clicking on the marble floor gradually faded away, and everyone present breathed a sigh of relief as they watched Su Yinyue's figure disappear into the conference room.
Li Xuelan rubbed her temples, her gaze sweeping across everyone's faces: "Investigator Su's personality is different from mine, therefore, I hope you all realize the seriousness of the problem."
"Since the Investigator is personally overseeing this, everything concerning magical girls must be given the highest priority. All departments must cooperate fully, and any discoveries must be reported immediately."
After saying that, Li Xuelan got up and left the conference room.
The spacious corridor was flanked by transparent glass windows, offering views of the bustling traffic and vibrant neon lights below the Li Xuelan Building. She let out a soft sigh.
Monsters began to stir, and a mysterious magical girl appeared. In response, the headquarters of the Mage Association even sent an investigator dressed in a golden mage's robe.
Li Xuelan vaguely sensed that things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface.
For someone of Su Yinyue's status to personally come to a small place like Chengshan City... there must be other reasons!
Thinking about these things, Li Xuelan knocked on the door of Su Yinyue's private lounge, the investigator's room.
"Come in."
Li Xuelan pushed open the door and saw Su Yinyue sitting quietly at her desk, seemingly having been waiting for a long time.
After thinking for a moment, Li Xuelan sat down to the side.
Seeing that Su Yinyue remained silent, Li Xuelan didn't mind and instead took the initiative to speak: "Yinyue, are you really here because of that magical girl incident?"
"No." Su Yinyue shook her head. She and Li Xuelan had known each other since childhood and had a very good relationship, so she did not choose to hide it.
"The main reason for my trip is the Hermitage."
"The Secret Order?" Upon hearing these three words, Li Xuelan's expression immediately turned serious. "You suspect that those two girls who claimed to be magical girls are connected to the Secret Order?"
"Although it doesn't seem like it, we still need to figure out what magical girls are." Su Yinyue leaned back in her chair and said solemnly, "Xuelan, I have a very strong intuition that these so-called magical girls are very likely a supernatural system that is completely different from magicians."
