After get off work, I become a magical girl

Then the crippled beast must have appeared later. It must have appeared in front of the victims after they had hidden themselves, so that it had a chance to catch everyone in one fell swoop.

These two facts are contradictory.

If the employees of the Strategy Bureau found the vacant office first and hid in it, then how did the remaining beasts manage to enter the office without destroying the door at all?

Could she have guessed that the half-open door was not originally ajar, but was opened from the inside by the innocent victims who tried to escape the office before their death?

So, what does this mean?

——Did the crippled beast suddenly appear in the office due to some kind of opportunity?

sudden appearance?

The word sent a chill down Delphinium's spine.

Even a pupa-level remnant beast cannot move randomly through space by jumping, so a remnant beast certainly cannot appear suddenly. If it really "appeared suddenly", then what would be the form of this appearance?

Looking up at the ceiling and seeing the remaining beasts moving around, Delphinium slowly opened its hands again.

However, this time she did not use the magic armor to kill the monsters, but let the magic threads flow and scrape among the monsters, as if looking for something.

As expected, her actions received feedback. As the silk thread disturbed the herd of remaining beasts, more and more unidentified objects began to fall from the sky and landed on the ground, making crisp sounds.

Delphinium walked forward and checked one by one, and found that these were all various human personal belongings: ID cards, glasses, watches, mobile phones, gel pens, etc.

What is even more surprising is that, apart from the damage caused by falling from a high altitude, these things are preserved exceptionally well.

Delphinium looked at the objects on the ground for a long time in silence.

——"Why don't you do it?"

A voice came from behind her.

"I can't kill them," replied the Delphinium.

"But they are crippled beasts." the voice continued.

This question was asked with a kind of genuine doubt, as if it was really being asked to Delphinium, and along with this question, Delphinium discovered that there was a shadow under its feet.

One is much longer than his own shadow, completely covering his own shadow.

“They are remnants of animals, but they are not remnants of animals either.”

Delphinium did not look back, but continued to look at the personal belongings on the ground, and said in a low voice:

"They were supposed to be...human beings."

Her answer also caused the person who asked the question behind her to fall into silence.

This was the conclusion that Cuiqiao finally came to: the beasts on the ceiling were humans. In fact, a considerable number of them were former employees of the Fangting City Strategy Bureau.

The same goes for the Strategy Bureau in Bai'an City. The tragedy in that office was not caused by enemies from outside, but because... someone among them turned into a beast.

Among the employees hiding in the office together, one person turned into a beast and attacked other companions who were caught off guard, leading to the tragedy.

She should have thought of it earlier.

Black Cinder Dawn has mastered a technology called "Beast Viscera", which allows humans to gain the power of residual beasts, and even control the residual beasts in turn. Then, this technology must have other applications.

For example... turning ordinary people into beasts.

However, this technology is probably not as perfect as their "Beast Viscera". It is impossible for it to retain the user's will like the Beast Viscera and be able to turn back into a human being after use.

Delphinium could feel that the monsters above its head were actually just the products of simple stitching.

Humans and remnant beasts were sewn together, like zombies, with neither consciousness nor fighting ability.

It is even a stretch to call them crippled beasts, because their weak bodies and magic power are simply not enough to support them fighting like crippled beasts. They are not even as good as the lowest egg level.

At this moment, these things on the ceiling are just a group of pathetic "monsters".

"But now they are crippled beasts."

The voice behind Delphinium said, "If they are not killed, they will eventually take the first step towards hunting out of hunger. As they begin to devour living things and gain more magic power, they will begin to become stronger and become a real danger."

"But they are human beings." Delphinium muttered, "Innocent human beings."

"They are monsters, monsters that must be destroyed."

The voice behind the lily stated, "We have no ability to change them back to their original form. The human parts of them have been completely sewn together with the remnant beasts. These parts will eventually become their own nutrients, turning them into true remnant beasts."

"I know."

Delphinium's tone was calm, but her hands gradually clenched: "I...know."

"You promised me, 'No matter what kind of beast it is, you can destroy it.'"

The voice continued, gradually approaching Delphinium: "Now, it is time to fulfill this promise. These things are no longer human, but monsters."

Chapter 133 Sorry

2023-04-30

--boom!

In the middle of the night, a violent explosion erupted from the center of the city. The roar that resounded through the sky woke Lin Xiaolu from her sleep.

"……what happened?"

She climbed out of the bed sleepily and looked into the distance through the window of the room. When she saw the scene outside the window clearly, she was briefly dazed, and then gradually opened her eyes.

"Wake up, Xia Liang! Bai Jingxuan!"

Turning back, Lin Xiaolu woke up the other two girls who were still asleep, pointed out the window and shouted, "Something seems wrong, there's some strange noise!"

The two people who had already fallen asleep had no choice but to rub their eyes and get out of bed. They came to the window together and then lost their words at the same time.

——A huge purple-black light column rose from the center of the city, rushing straight into the sky and piercing through the clouds. Even the surrounding clouds were dyed purple, swirling around the light column, flashing an ominous light.

Bai Jingxuan, who was still half asleep, took two steps forward, trying to get closer to the window to see the scene outside more clearly. But as soon as she approached the window, she saw a huge moth hit the window, making a "pop" sound.

"Well!"

The noise startled her and she took a few steps back. Her sleepy head became much more awake after being frightened.

"Really? You're still getting in the way at this time!"

Seeing Bai Jingxuan frightened by the moth that suddenly appeared, Lin Xiaolu angrily slapped the window to drive it away, then walked to the closet in the room and opened the door of her own closet: "Hurry up and change your clothes! Although I don't know what's going on, we have to go out!"

"Can't you just transform and go out?" Xia Liang asked, yawning, "It feels so troublesome to change clothes at this time."

"It should be okay to just put on shoes, right?" Bai Jingxuan suggested.

"You two..."

Lin Xiaolu glanced at them, put her hands on her hips, and spoke with some unhappiness, but before she could finish the second half of the sentence, she felt the purple light behind her become stronger.

This made her unfinished words stuck in her throat.

"It's a remnant beast!"

Mo Ke, who had just woken up, came over and pointed outside the window and shouted, "Xiao Lu! I can feel the breath of the remnant beast! And it's very powerful, stronger than any remnant beast I've seen before! This one is definitely a big one!"

Unfortunately, no one paid attention to its words. Even Bai Jingxuan, who had the best relationship with Mo Ke, only agreed with it symbolically.

After all, the scene outside the window was too conspicuous. Even a fool would know after seeing the current situation that the purple light column that shot straight into the sky was definitely not normal.

Lin Xiaolu realized that if she insisted on changing into casual clothes before going out, the flowers would be cold by the time she got there. In desperation, she could only change her plan, grabbed a coat from the closet and put it on, and walked to the door: "Forget it, let's go quickly."

The other two also knew the situation was urgent, so they followed her out of the room. The three people and the fairy hurried out of the room, not even having time to turn on the lights, and ran towards the door together.

Lin Xiaolu wanted to remind them to speak more quietly and not wake up her father, but seeing that they had already run to the entrance, she didn't know what to say. She could only stand in the corridor and glance towards the door of her father's room with a guilty conscience.

It would have been fine if she didn't look, but when she really looked over, what she saw was an open door.

The door is not closed?

This made Lin Xiaolu stunned.

"What are you still standing there for?"

Before she could think about it, Xia Liang, who was not far away, said to her in a low voice: "There is no time to waste, let's go!"

"Um... oh."

Lin Xiaolu could only suppress the doubts that suddenly arose in her heart and followed the others to the entrance.

She had no time to make sure the door was open, and she didn't know whether her father was in the room.

Maybe he forgot to close the door when he went to sleep?

She explained this to herself, and then walked out of the house with her companions.

"senior".

The name shouted by the person behind Cuiqiao undoubtedly proved her identity: she was Hong Siyu.

But when she heard this name, Cuiqiao felt a little depressed in her heart.

She stood straight for a while, staring at the ground. After a while, she couldn't suppress the thoughts in her mind anymore, so she turned her head and wanted to look back.

——"Don't look back yet, senior."

However, Hong Siyu stopped Cuique's action.

Her voice was gentle and clear at this time, and it sounded like nothing was wrong: "Just listen to me and then talk to me."

"…I hate people who are secretive."

Without responding directly to the other party's request, Cuique lowered her head, looked at the shadow on the ground, and sighed: "Why didn't you tell me directly? Why did you play the disappearance trick and refuse to answer the phone? When did the Yi Ce Bureau become like this?"

"Hmm... who knows? I forgot too."

Hong Siyu said frivolously, "And what do you mean by hiding things? Senior, you are the most dishonest person, right? How much of what happened back then did you hide? I was kept in the dark the whole time."

"If you want, I can tell you after this is over." Kuija kept her head down, her voice low, "So tell me, do you have any solution? A way to change these people back to normal?"

"I don't know, but probably not."
