After get off work, I become a magical girl

It seemed that he had been pursuing a female liaison officer named Hong in the Archives Department. It was said that although she was older than him, she was also a famous beauty in the Special Policy Bureau. She was transferred from Tiandu City and her background was quite mysterious.

Unfortunately, the liaison officer was seriously injured in the previous attack and chose to take a long vacation to go out of town for physical therapy.

This seemed to have dealt a heavy blow to Li Yingwei. Since the establishment of the Bureau of Strategy, he had been searching for traces of the remnants of the Black Dawn. And because Tian Sheng joined the third team during this period and performed outstandingly in combat, Li Yingwei was quite optimistic about him, which was why he took him to lunch at noon.

"Alas, after working hard for a week, I didn't catch many big fish."

Sitting at the dining table, Li Yingwei stirred the food on his plate and said, "I heard that Black Cinder Dawn has the ability to borrow the power of residual beasts. How come I haven't seen it yet?"

"If you see them, just kill them all..."

Tian Sheng couldn't help but shook his head: "Captain, you'd better think about something practical."

"Why is it unrealistic?"

Li Yingwei was not convinced: "With you, our team now has three controllers, and we are all fully armed. Even if we really encounter a remnant beast, we can fight it and maybe kill it."

“That’s just the weakest remaining beast, right?” Tian Sheng stuffed a mouthful of rice into his mouth.

"How powerful can a human be by borrowing the power of crippled beasts?" Li Yingwei raised his chopsticks.

How strong can a person be by borrowing the power of crippled beasts?

Tian Sheng didn't know the answer to this question, but he felt that Li Yingwei was wrong. Although there was no evidence, every time he recalled the dream of turning into a moth, he always felt more wonderful in his heart.

Is it really possible for humans to transform into beasts?

In fact, if the self in the dream had not been awakened by that angelic existence at that time, would I still be able to exist here like this now?

Thinking of this, Tian Sheng couldn't help but slow down his movements of picking up food.

"Are you daydreaming again? You're really acting weird today!"

Seeing Tian Sheng's eyes gradually become empty, Li Yingwei couldn't help but tap the plate with his chopsticks: "What are you thinking about? Come back, come back!"

"…Sorry." Tian Sheng smiled sheepishly, but he was too embarrassed to admit that he was thinking about the magical girl. "Something has been going on at home these days."

"Home? As I recall, you don't have a girlfriend?"

Li Yingwei looked at him suspiciously: "Is there something wrong with the old man?"

"It's not to that extent..." Tian Sheng said vaguely.

"Forget it, it's your own business anyway. If you don't want to talk about it, I can't control it."

Li Yingwei suddenly laughed: "But if you really feel sorry, please do me a favor."

"What's the matter?" Tian Sheng asked puzzledly.

"Run errands and deliver the combat records of our third team to the director's office." Li Yingwei picked up the meat on the plate and said, "It's simple, right?"

"Director's Office? But isn't our director already..." Tian Sheng paused for a moment, then suddenly realized, "A new director has arrived?"

"Yes, I should be notified in the group at noon, and I will be speaking at the meeting in the afternoon."

Li Yingwei stuffed the meat into his mouth and said, "Before that, let's go to the director's office and get acquainted with the new leader. It's a good job, right?"

"Captain, why don't you go yourself?" Tian Sheng always felt something was wrong.

"I should have gone, but I don't want to go." Li Yingwei grinned. "I took a look at the new director from a distance. Tsk tsk, he looks like a stinky-faced old man with a bad temper. I'm sure I'll get scolded when we meet."

"You want me to go here?" Tian Sheng widened his eyes.

"Young man, exercise more."

"Captain, you are not older than me, right?"

"That means newcomers should practice more."

Li Yingwei waved his hand and changed the subject: "Don't accuse me of cheating you. In fact, our new director has a great background."

"How come he has a prominent background?" Tian Sheng grinned, "He was also transferred from Tiandu City?"

"Hey! How can you poke someone's lungs?"

Li Yingwei could naturally hear the hidden meaning of Tian Sheng's words. He was deliberately mentioning his failed love experience in pursuing the liaison: "It has to be Tiandu City, not Yannan City, right? Where can we find so many adults from Central City?"

"What is that?" Tian Sheng asked following his words.

"He's a local, but he was directly assigned by the General Administration of Tiandu City."

"That's still an adult."

"It's different. The new director is a local who was born and raised here, and he has never worked in the General Administration."

Li Yingwei held up the plate and said, "The General Administration said that the new director had been a liaison officer among the civilians and had made great contributions in this attack, so he was promoted this time."

"From liaison officer directly to director? How many levels are you jumping?"

"Level 4, but that's not surprising. We in the Strategy Bureau believe in appointing people based on their merits."

Li Yingwei pretended to speak earnestly: "So, with your capital, Xiaotian, work hard and solve more cases of the Gray Magic Organization. Maybe in a few years you will be my leader."

"...So, after all you've said, Captain, you still want me to help you deliver the documents, right?"

"Just say whether you want to go or not?"

"Why do I feel like, Captain, you don't really care about this?"

Tian Sheng asked helplessly: "It seems that you just don't want to meet this new director?"

"I've already said that. I'm afraid of being scolded."

"Is that really the reason?"

"The real reason? She's not a beauty, what's the point of seeing her?" Li Yingwei sneered, "Besides, who knows how long this new director can stay in office. I said, the Strategy Bureau appoints people based on their merits."

"You're arguing with a beautiful woman, aren't you?" Tian Sheng picked up the soup bowl beside him. "In the final analysis, you just don't like this new director."

"I can't keep getting stuck in my past failed relationships." Li Yingwei looked sad. "As for whether I like the new director or not, he's been promoted four levels. Let me see what kind of person he is first."

"...Okay, I'll go."

Seeing the other party's firm attitude, Tian Sheng sighed: "Don't blame me if you say something wrong."

"Hey, you've only been with our third team for a short time, so even if you said something wrong, it couldn't be too wrong."

Li Yingwei thought he had gotten rid of a big trouble, and picked up the food on the plate happily: "Then I'll leave it to you!"

The matter was settled. After lunch, Tian Sheng was sent out of the office by Li Yingwei and walked into the elevator with the combat record.

Somewhat reluctantly, Tian Sheng pressed the button for the 11th floor in the elevator. Looking at the floor number jumping on the screen, he recalled what he had experienced recently and couldn't help but sighed:

“It’s so magical.”

It seemed that ever since he encountered the attack of Black Dawn in the orphanage, his life had taken a path he had never imagined, heading towards an extremely unfamiliar direction.

What made people uncomfortable was that all this seemed to have nothing to do with his wishes. After each incident, he woke up with a vague memory and had no idea what had happened before. It was like a passenger on a ship who encountered a shipwreck and was eventually washed up on the beach of a strange continent. There was a pile of treasures around him for no reason, and he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Tian Sheng walked out of the elevator with a heavy heart. After passing a turning, he saw a pair of rather imposing wooden swing doors standing against the wall.

Walking forward, Tian Sheng stretched out his hand to knock on the door, but for some reason, his eyes suddenly froze.

Because he saw an extremely thin magic thread at the door. After he approached the office, the thread suddenly trembled and then disappeared.

He felt as if he had seen this thread somewhere before. It seemed to be the thread that was connected to his chest when he woke up from his dream...

——"Come in."

Suddenly, such a voice came from inside the door. Although Tian Sheng did not speak or knock on the door, the person inside the door seemed to know that he was standing there.

Tian Sheng could only say "excuse me" obediently, and pushed open the door. What caught his eye was a floor-to-ceiling window, solemn bookcases on both walls, and a huge desk in the middle.

And the stern middle-aged man sitting behind the desk, frowning as he flipped through a stack of documents.

Chapter 148 Sequelae

2023-05-16

"Sit down, what can I do for you?"

Tian Sheng's arrival did not cause any further reaction from the man. He did not even show any courtesy. He just left a shallow crease on the document in his hand, then raised his head and asked Tian Sheng calmly.

This behavior is quite different from the "leadership" that Katsushita had in mind.

In the welfare home, even someone like Director Liu Wenqin, who is relatively indifferent to red tape, always has to show basic friendliness and concern in front of his employees.

The middle-aged man in front of him seemed quite indifferent, even... dissatisfied? This dissatisfaction was not directed at Tian Sheng, but seemed to be dissatisfied with his own position.

"Hello, Chief. I am Tian Sheng from the third squad of the Special Operations Department. This is our squad's combat record for this month..."

Tian Sheng scratched his head subconsciously and handed over the document in his hand. He tried his best to avoid any mistakes in his words, so as not to be criticized by the new director who seemed to be in a bad mood.

The middle-aged man took his report and flipped through it. He looked through the contents of the report expressionlessly, and after about a minute, he closed the report and asked:

"During this week's crackdown, you only caught ordinary magi? No beastmen?"

Beastmen is the official name given by the Bureau of Strategy to people who use the organs of animals to transform themselves. Tian Sheng naturally knows that there are such people.

So he immediately replied: "Yes, we have cleared out several small gathering places, but we have not encountered any beastmen so far."

"This is not normal." The middle-aged man tapped the table.

"Yes."

The other party did not show any emotion, but there was an inexplicable pressure in his words, which made Tian Sheng swallow his saliva subconsciously: "You are right, our captain thinks so too."

Under pressure, he decisively betrayed Li Yingwei.

"It's not just your team. The report I saw today is that none of your teams have encountered a beastman so far."

The middle-aged man behind the desk repeated, "This is definitely not an ordinary coincidence."

Maybe it was because the mastermind was killed, and the rest of the people were leaderless. Tian Sheng thought so in his heart. But he didn't dare to say it out loud. He didn't want to be criticized for expressing an immature opinion at this time.

"Tian Sheng."

However, his silence did not mean that the new director would remain silent: "You have just joined the Strategy Bureau recently, are you a newcomer?"

"Ah... yes."

Tian Sheng stammered, "To be exact, I only started working last week, because when I first came to the bureau, I happened to be attacked by a group of beasts..."

"There are ten people recruited at the same time as you. Your magic power level is the lowest in the test."
