After get off work, I become a magical girl

He leaned against the wall again: "You always manage to convince me with your twisted logic. This time is no exception. You win."

"I just want to survive."

Soldier Bee Seven looked indifferent: "Any creature will burst out with wisdom when it is trying to survive. Even wild beasts are like this, let alone us humans."

"So when do we start?"

Soldier Bee 25 shook his head, obviously not intending to pay attention to his muttering: "Since you have launched this plan, I think you have already set a time."

"In two days."

Soldier Feng Qi turned his head from the window and said: "We need to guide them a little bit, trick the moth's troops out and feed them to the Strategy Bureau, so as to create an opportunity to capture the mission target conveniently."

"That means you're going to die in two days. You'll have to have a good meal before you're executed."

Soldier Bee 25 rubbed his stomach and said, "Come to think of it, our people have been living frugally for several days. The edibles in this house have long been eaten up. Why hasn't the owner sent us new supplies yet?"

"There won't be any new supplies." Bing Fengqi walked back into the house.

"why?"

“Because there is no longer an owner.”

Pointing to the living room not far away, with his fingertips pointing at several black plastic bags placed in the corner, Bingfeng Qi said indifferently: "Yesterday I heard their cell phones ringing, and I suspected someone was trying to call the police, so I ended their mission early."

"Ah, no wonder."

Soldier Bee 25 nodded: "I was wondering why there is always a scent in the living room, which makes my animal heart stir."

"It just so happens that the pigs can play their due value after they die."

Bing Fengqi took out another cigarette from his pocket, put it between his lips, and lit the lighter. The light of the lighter shone through his palm, and the flickering light was reflected in his dark and empty eyes:

"This way, we won't have to look for other supplies in the next two days."

……

……

Lin Yun returned to the Yi Ce Bureau alone.

In the end, he still did not agree to Emerald's "product trial", even though the other party lowered the conditions again and again, and finally changed it from taking off clothes to taking off socks.

Emerald claimed that her previous actions were only for the purpose of collecting Delphinium's ability data, and now she had to take off her socks just to make it closer to the skin for easier inspection, but Delphinium always felt that there was something fishy about it, so she declined and left the research institute.

Of course, regarding her own injury, Delphinium did not say anything too decisive, but just replied "I'll continue to think about it."

As soon as he returned to the Strategy Bureau, Tian Sheng, who had been waiting outside the door, caught up with him. He followed Lin Yun into the director's office and handed over the documents in his hand with ease:

"Director, this is our operational briefing for the past few days."

Lin Yun took the document and sat down at his desk. He flipped through it briefly and grasped the key points: "Two beastmen were captured? So quickly?"

"It's all thanks to the magic weapons."

Tian Sheng scratched the back of his head and said, "Our captain has been praising your great achievements these days. I have also experienced it myself and I feel that the effectiveness of this equipment is really too advanced."

"Dead objects are just dead objects. Weapons ultimately depend on the person who uses them. If you use weapons to defeat the enemy, that's your credit. You don't need to flatter me."

Lin Yun waved his hand lightly, not accepting the flattery from afar: "So it seems that your team has made the greatest contribution in the Special Operations Department. What are your needs and plans for the future?"

"Oh, about that. Actually, our captain asked me to submit an application for you."

Tian Sheng scratched his head and handed over another document in his hand:

"According to the investigation feedback from other teams, there seem to be traces of people from Black Dawn hiding in a residential area in Lixing District. He wants to apply for search authorization there."

"Residential? Are you sure?"

Lin Yun did not doubt him and took the document from Tian Sheng. He glanced at the paper and slowly read the contents printed on it:

——"The name of the community is...'Lakeside Spring'?"

Chapter 163

2023-05-31

Bai Jingxuan once had a dream.

When she was still young and her family was happy, she dreamed of becoming a music artist.

Although her childhood memories are a little fuzzy, Bai Jingxuan can vaguely remember that she once had a music box when she was young. It seemed that it was a music box given to her by her parents. Whenever she was sick, the soothing and light music of the music box would liberate her from the pain.

Although she can only recall intermittent melodies now, it does not prevent her from having a good impression of music.

But later, her parents were killed by wild animals and Bai Jingxuan was sent to an orphanage. The music box in her memory was also lost in the accident and never appeared in Bai Jingxuan's life again.

The orphanage wasn't that bad, but it didn't have the ability to help her find her lost things. Even if a caregiver gave her another one according to her description, it was still a different thing and could no longer soothe her pain. Her dream became a dusty memory.

Perhaps, it was not just a dream. From a certain point in time that Bai Jingxuan herself did not notice, she lost her "desire".

The feeling of joy and anger has lost its coordinates, and the concept of good and evil has lost its scale. I don’t know why I am happy or sad, I can only observe the words and expressions of others and follow the emotions they express.

She is very well-behaved because she has nothing to resist; she is very quiet because she has no personal needs. She is like a doll without independent consciousness, seemingly imitating the human form, but inside there is nothing.

There were children of the same age who used the word "empty shell" to describe her. However, even when called that, Bai Jingxuan remained oblivious to it.

Why was she an empty shell? She didn't understand.

But she really didn't know what she wanted, a blank desire, a blank emotion. There was even nothing that could give her a direction to find her own existence.

She is like a ship lost in the deep sea, with the vast ocean all around her, and no difference can be seen in any direction. However, the name of the ship she is driving is "Self", and the name of the ocean around her is "Life".

Do you want money? Do you want fame? Do you want to be a doctor? Do you want to be a teacher?

She kept asking and observing other people's dreams. Then she took these dreams and put them on herself, just like a customer who keeps trying on clothes in a clothing store. Because she doesn't know what she wants, she is determined to try on all the clothes in the store in order to find the one that suits her.

This confusion lasted until several months ago, until the orphanage was attacked and Mo Ke appeared in front of her.

Is "magical girl" the direction I want to find, or the clothes I want? By becoming a magical girl, can I find back the emotions I have forgotten and the desires I have lost?

Bai Jingxuan didn't know the answer.

But whenever she recalled the moment when Sakura saved her, she would still feel longing and excitement, and feel fortunate and grateful. The feelings at that time seemed so vivid now, and it made her feel "alive" for the first time in a long time.

——"So, I told myself that I wanted to be a magical girl like Sakura-senpai."

Walking slowly on the streets of Lixing District, Bai Jingxuan said softly: "At least I was once moved and grateful for such behavior. Such emotions are not false."

"……I see."

Tian Sheng walked beside her and listened to Bai Jingxuan's story with a solemn expression: "Although I still can't remember the details now, but at that time, when you were in the orphanage, that's why you became a magical girl, right?"

"Yeah." Bai Jingxuan nodded.

The time was morning, and the location was near the "Lakeside Spring" community in Lixing District. Three weeks after the Full Moon Festival incident, the Strategy Bureau approved the third team's request to search the residential area, allowing them to go to "Lakeside Spring" to search for traces of Black Cinder Dawn.

On the way to Lakeside Spring, the third team ran into Bai Jingxuan who was patrolling there, and then there was a small tail behind their team.

As the team leader, Li Yingwei tried to persuade her repeatedly, but to little avail. The other team members also didn't know how to persuade a magical girl, so this troublesome task finally fell on Tian Sheng.

This made Tian Sheng suffer.

Because he didn't know how to communicate with Bai Jingxuan.

Although he used to be a caregiver in an orphanage and knew Bai Jingxuan, it was impossible for a male caregiver to take care of a girl's life closely, so he was not very familiar with her.

He just liked Bai Jingxuan because she was well-behaved and sensible, so he would chat with her from time to time. However, considering that a child living in an orphanage probably didn't want to talk about the past, the content of their chats was also the bland and trivial things in daily life, and they didn't deliberately touch on deeper things.

If Bai Jingxuan had not been very proactive and willing to tell him about her past stories, he probably wouldn't know what to say now.

"But the senior you mentioned has... passed away."

He tried hard to organize his words to avoid touching the other party's scars: "Black Cinder Dawn is very likely the murderer, so you hate them so much and want to catch them, right?"

"It's torture..."

Bai Jingxuan spoke seriously, but halfway through her words, she probably remembered something, lowered her eyes, and silently changed her words, "I will punish them."

"You were about to say that word again, weren't you?"

Tian Sheng scratched his head helplessly: "I don't understand, is this also the style of the 'Sakura-senpai' you mentioned?"

"No, that's what teachers do."

Bai Jingxuan raised her hand and clenched her fist: "But the teacher is Senior Ying's teammate, and she did this for Senior. I think that's right, and that's cool!"

"Even if that could be wrong?"

"It must be right, right?" Bai Jingxuan tilted her head.

“…That’s what she said, Chief.”

Sighing, Tian Sheng took out the phone from his other pocket and put it to his ear: "You heard it too, these are her reasons, I really can't persuade her."

After saying this, he remained silent, listening to the voice on the other end of the phone and nodding from time to time.

Then, he handed the phone to Bai Jingxuan, ignoring Bai Jingxuan's shocked and aggrieved look as if she was looking at a traitor, and looked away, scratching his cheek and said:

"Xiaoxuan, the director asked you to answer the phone."

Bai Jingxuan, who had seemed fearless and had been speaking at length before, suddenly took the phone listlessly, like a primary school student who had done something wrong.

Then, she glanced at Tian Sheng again with a heartbreaking look as if she were looking at a traitor, and answered the phone:

"Hey, Dad...Uncle."

2k, touch day.

Chapter 164 The Truth

2023-06-01

"I should have told you that if you don't change your intentions, I won't allow you to join the Strategy Bureau's operations."

In the director's office of the Strategy Bureau, Lin Yun said helplessly, "Yes, I don't have the power to command a magical girl. If you insist on following me, I can't do anything about it. So I can only tell you: I hope you stay calm. If possible, just watch from the sidelines."

"You said you were just looking? What do you mean by 'looking'? I mean... well, if you can really do that, I have no problem with that."
