After get off work, I become a magical girl

But just now, through the conversation between Lin Xiaolu and Mo Ke, he finally realized: what was Hong Si looking at when he was at the door just now.

Hong Siyu was looking at the back of him, at the trash can behind him, at the trash bag next to him, and at that moment, the man who was struggling to carry a bag of trash over there...

...Moko.

impossible.

This was the first judgment Lin Yun could make.

His reason told him that it was impossible because it was inexplicable and incomprehensible.

The sealed magic source can no longer provide magic power to the magical girl, just like a car without a fuel tank. Without the source of energy, the magic power of the magical girl will not be much better than that of an ordinary person.

And this change is almost irreversible, because he has never heard of a magical girl who can regain the qualification to use her power from the country after retiring.

So, if that’s the case, why did Hong Siyu see Mo Ke?

Lin Yun mechanically picked up the fruit on the ground and brought it back to the kitchen. He stood by the sink. He seemed extremely calm on the surface, but his mind was constantly churning.

Just at this moment, he suddenly heard his cell phone ringing again.

He took out his cell phone from his pocket and looked at the screen. The number on it made his eyes freeze: this was the strange number that had contacted him in the afternoon.

Almost instantly, he pressed his finger to answer the call. Putting the phone to his ear, Lin Yun adjusted his breathing and asked calmly, "Hello?"

“…hiss.”

The noise of the signal came from the other end again.

“Hurry…go…”

What followed was a voice that was even fainter than the previous ones.

"what?"

"...Go find her."

"Who?"

"Go find... go find..."

The chaotic sound became louder and louder, even covering the already weak human voice, making it even weaker. Just when Lin Yun thought that this call might end in failure like the previous one, the chaotic signal suddenly disappeared.

Almost at the same moment, an extremely clear but weak voice reached Lin Yun's ears from the other side of the call.

——"Lord Cornflower, go find Asagao quickly, it's too late!"

I asked for leave in the pinned post in the book review section yesterday, but I don’t know what went wrong with the post and it’s not showing up…

I can only say I'm very sorry about this, so I did 7k6 in one go today to make up for yesterday's update.

Chapter 131 Pursuit

2023-04-30

The azure blue magic trail suddenly streaked across the dark night sky, hidden in the thick clouds, and silently crossed most of the city.

Glancing at the phone screen between her fingers, the big "Missed" message on it made her even more uneasy. She frowned, gritted her teeth, and kept increasing her flying speed, heading towards the apartment where Hong Siyu lived in her memory.

She still couldn't stay at home.

Because when she tried to contact Hong Siyu with her cell phone, she couldn't get through no matter what.

She knew that separating from the newcomers might be the enemy's plan, and that the mysterious phone call that revealed the information might also be a trap set by the enemy. But her intuition told her that what was said on the phone was true.

The other party called out the name "Cornflower" and also called out "Asagao", the magical girl code name belonging to Hong Siyu, which has already increased the credibility of his words. Moreover, this is completely consistent with Delphinium's own speculation.

It is almost impossible for a retired magical girl to regain her magic power. This is an iron rule of the magical kingdom. If you want to see fairies, you must have magic power that exceeds that of ordinary people.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Hong Siyu, a retired magical girl, to see Moko.

Knowing this, thinking again about what Hong Si said when he left, Cuiqiao suddenly sensed a very strange meaning.

Did she already know something?

What does "I'll leave it to you, senior" mean?

She even suddenly sent all three children to her home tonight. Was she on guard against something?

The emergence of a truth led to the birth of more new questions. Delphinium felt that her mind was filled with questions, and it was difficult even to try to figure it out.

If she wanted to get the answers to all this, the most important thing she should do now was to find Hong Siyu.

This is also the reason why she went to the apartment where the other party lived first.

Following the path of memory, he flew to the balcony of Hong Siyu's apartment, and casually pulled open the bolt with the magic thread. Kuija almost jumped into the apartment in front of him and called out to the apartment:

"Hong Siyu!"

However, there was no response from the empty apartment.

Delphinium realized that the worst had really happened.

It has been nearly an hour since Hong Siyu left her home. If nothing unexpected happened, she must have returned home. If she is not at home now, she must have gone somewhere else.

Where would she go? Where could she go? And no matter where she went, was this situation really her own choice?

With these questions in mind, Hongsi turned on the lights in her home and looked around, trying to find any clues in this space.

Hong Siyu's apartment was not tidy, but it was not messy either - except for the quilt thrown casually on the bed and the trash can that was completely overflowing with garbage, it was relatively organized.

Delphinium squatted beside the bed, opened the bedside table and searched for a while, but found nothing except some personal clothes and small items.

She turned around and opened the closet, only to find that the clothes inside were completely over capacity and poured out directly through the hole in the closet. If she hadn't been quick, she would have been buried under the clothes that rushed out.

After fixing the clothes with magic thread, Delphinium searched the closet but still found nothing.

So she walked to the island in the open kitchen and picked up the beer cans on the counter, but found that the aluminum cans were empty, and the dry inner walls showed that they had been placed there a long time ago.

This seems to indicate that Hong Siyu has not returned to this apartment for many days.

Is it because she has been going to the secret base to train new people after work these days? Or is it because of some other reason?

The problems were not solved with the investigation, but continued to increase. Delphinium tried to find clues about Hongsi and his whereabouts in the apartment, but still found nothing.

The investigation reached a deadlock here.

Helplessly, she could only take out her mobile phone again and open the address book. She felt that she should seek help from the unknown number to see if the other party could provide any clues.

She raised her hand and pressed the call button, then put the phone to her ear and continued to look around the house, but suddenly stopped when she passed the floor-to-ceiling window on the balcony and could not take her eyes away.

——She saw a moth.

It was not an insect in the ordinary sense, but a moth whose size was far beyond common sense, almost as big as a washbasin.

At this moment, the moth was quietly lying outside the floor-to-ceiling window of the apartment balcony, with its wings naturally drooped and its body erected, as if it was watching the scene inside the house.

The reason why the word "wait and see" is used is because Delphinium felt a strong sense of being watched.

She felt like she was being watched by a bug.

The phone next to her ear was still not connected, so Delphinium stood there in the posture of making a phone call, staring fixedly at the moth outside the balcony.

“…hiss.”

Then, during this process, a familiar noise suddenly rang from the phone next to my ear.

The strange moth in front of her was indeed strange, but for Delphinium, finding Hong Siyu was the top priority, so she decisively shifted her attention to the phone call and immediately asked:

"Hello? Where's Hong Siyu?"

Every unidentified call would be disconnected when discussing key information. She didn't know how long this one would last, so she asked the most core questions without any hesitation.

"Hissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss..."

As if hearing her question, the voice on the other end of the phone began to fluctuate more violently.

After a long burst of noise whose content was indistinguishable, a voice that was even fainter than before finally sounded again: "In... very high..."

"Very high?" Delphinium immediately repeated with a frown.

"...I usually go there..." The faint voice kept stuttering, sending broken words to Delphinium's ears.

She tried hard to distinguish what the other person said and tried to remember it all, but the voice kept becoming smaller and smaller until it became inaudible.

"Hello? I can't hear you, are you still there?" Delphinium couldn't help but ask to confirm.

There was only noise on the other side of the call.

"Hey?"

The noise remained unchanged.

"still there?"

--"boom!"

Just as Kuei-Jia was turning up the volume of her phone in order to hear the other party's voice, a deafening roar suddenly came from the other end of the call. The strong impact made Kuei-Jia feel a shock all over her body, and she almost threw the phone away.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough and immediately used the magic thread to grab the phone back. However, when she looked at the phone screen again, it showed an interface indicating that the call had been hung up.

Unconvinced, Delphinium dialed the number again, but after a short wait, she was told that the phone was "powered off", leaving no room for error.

This time, the call with the unknown number has come to nothing.

Delphinium looked at the screen of her mobile phone in a daze for a while, then suddenly looked towards the floor-to-ceiling window of the balcony not far away, and saw that the huge moth was still lying on the glass with its wings stretched out. It clearly did not make any sound, but its trembling antennae seemed to be sneering with emotion.

This scene only made her feel extremely bad, and she didn't intend to give this strange insect any chance to survive, so she raised her hand and fired a beam of magic power.

The azure magic power penetrated the security glass of the French window almost instantly, wrapping the huge moth inside. But when the magic power dissipated, she found that her magic beam did not hit anything except the French window glass, and the moth lying on the window disappeared without a trace like a phantom.

Delphinium walked quickly forward, squatted down to observe the broken French window, and after confirming that there were no insect remains inside, she felt even more confused.

Was I hallucinating?

To confirm this, Delphinium raised its head and looked into the distance, trying to find the trace of the moth's departure, but the dark night sky was dead silent, and there was no flying object.

Lying on the balcony, Kuijin stood on tiptoe and squinted her eyes to look around: It was almost dawn and there was nothing in Fangting City except a few lights. There were no extra vehicles or pedestrians on the road, and most of the shops and high-rise buildings on the street had turned off their useless decorative lights. In the lonely city, there was nothing worth noting.

However, when Delphinium continued to look further away, a building with a familiar outline suddenly caught her eye.

At first, Delphinium did not realize what the outline was, but when she thought of it, her eyes suddenly stopped in that direction - because she remembered that it was the Strategy Bureau.

Hong Si lived not far from Fangting City's Special Policy Bureau, only a little over a kilometer away. Probably to save time on her daily commute to work, she chose such a place when renting a house.
