After get off work, I become a magical girl

"what?"

Sammy's eyes widened immediately: "Didn't the leader equip all of you cadres with personal mobile phones? Why don't you have one? Is it broken?"

"That's not the reason... It's probably not damaged, so it's still intact."

Yuan gave a somewhat hearty smile: "It's just that I never figured out how to use it, so I just threw it in the base to avoid losing it."

Semi was stunned on the spot, as if struck by lightning.

"So, how are you going to stay and eat?"

After a long pause, it spoke again, but its voice was trembling: "How are you going to live in the city without a cell phone? You didn't even bring any money, did you?"

"How could that be? I brought money."

Yuan was calm and composed: "I usually don't have anywhere to spend money so I've been saving it. It will definitely be enough."

"Are you sure you're carrying money from the material world?"

Sammy asked worriedly, "Could it be silver coins from the kingdom?"

"I am just practicing without age, I am not suffering from Alzheimer's disease."

Yuan rolled his eyes at it and said, "It must be the currency from the material world. I left it with me when I left the city. I just happened to bring it all with me this time."

"Ah, really? That's right, no matter how lacking common sense you are, you shouldn't go to this extent."

Sammy then breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought we would be sleeping on the streets in the city next."

"Actually, sleeping on the streets is nothing. It's not like I haven't experienced this before."

Yuan tightened the package in her hand, with a touch of nostalgia on her face: "My memory is very good, and many of the experiences I summarized at that time should still be universal. How about we give it a try?"

"No way! After walking in the wilderness for half a month, my wings are already covered with dust!"

Sammy shook his head: "I want to take a shower!"

"Pity."

Yuan had no choice but to spread his hands: "Well, let's find a breakfast shop to fill our stomachs first, and then find a place to stay. I also feel like taking a shower."

Unable to get a taxi, the two could only walk along the street. During the walk, Yuan kept looking around, and was very interested in the familiar yet unfamiliar human civilization. It was only with Semi that she was dragged to move forward.

After a while, they finally found a breakfast shop on the roadside that was still open and walked in exhausted.

Because the owner of the store couldn't see the goblin, Yuan specially ordered a few more snacks and took Sammy to a corner of the store to sit down. Then he drank half a bowl of soy milk in a rather bold manner and ate half a steamed bun directly.

Like a reincarnated hungry ghost, he devoured a table of breakfast. After that, Yuan walked back to the counter at the entrance of the store leisurely, ignoring the surprised looks of the people around him, and shouted, "Boss, check out!"

"okay."

The boss, who was still preparing meals at the door of the store, took a break from his busy schedule to count Yuan's table and tapped on the calculator. He calculated a number: "Beautiful lady, you have a big appetite. You ate 5 steamed buns, 4 steamed dumplings, and 53 bowls of soy milk, a total of yuan."

"Give me the change." Yuan Yun calmly took out a hundred-dollar bill from his Taoist robe and placed it lightly on the counter.

The boss took the money she gave him and wanted to check its authenticity carefully, but before he could take a closer look, he realized something was wrong: "Beauty, you can't use this money? Do you have anything else?"

"Can't be used? How is that possible?"

Yuan took out another banknote from his robe and said, "All the money I have is like this. It must be real."

"But, no... your money is too old. It must have been used forty years ago."

The boss wiped his forehead and said, "I only saw this kind of banknotes when I was a child. Now even the exchange period has passed, so it is definitely unusable."

"expired?"

Yuan couldn't help but take the banknote back, shook it in front of her eyes, and then handed it out again: "But even if it's old money, there must be someone who wants it, right? I'll give this to you, you can exchange it with someone, no change."

"It's a small business, beautiful lady, don't make fun of me."

The boss smiled awkwardly and said, "Banks can't exchange money now. I'll have to find another way to get it. And I can't tell whether your money is real or fake. You should just give me cash. If that doesn't work, can you transfer it to me via mobile phone?"

"What should I do if I have nothing else except this money?"

Yuan threw the banknotes on the counter: "Since you don't want this, I have no other choice."

“You, this…”

Seeing that Yuan was about to give up, the boss wiped his sweat anxiously and was thinking about what to do when his sight suddenly shifted to the sidewalk not far away.

At this moment, a patrolling policeman was passing by.

……

……

At noon, Lin Yun put down the documents in his hand, closed the computer in front of him, and closed his eyes tiredly.

He reached out and rubbed his shoulders, only to feel that the inflammation that had finally eased was showing signs of recurring. Just as he was wondering if he had been overworked recently, he heard a gentle knock on the door.

"Please come in."

As he said this, he secretly pulled the silk thread at the door, and saw a female employee from the Intelligence Department walked in cautiously.

"Hello, Chief. Sorry to bother you."

She greeted him softly, then picked up her phone and got down to business: "We just received a case of a disturbance on the magic side. It was said that a magician ate a breakfast stall in Lixing District and then used magic to cause trouble in order to avoid paying... He has just been arrested by the police."

"Overlord meal?"

Lin Yun raised his eyebrows. "It's not that bad, is it? Give him some criticism and education for a while, and then urge him to pay more money to the merchant. After a while, conduct a review, and the case should be closed."

"Yes, that was the original decision of the bureau, but after the interrogation room received the person, they insisted that you go over and take a look."

The employee said cautiously: "They said that only you can make the decision on this matter."

"Why? Does this matter involve Black Cinder Dawn?" Lin Yun subconsciously speculated.

"No, not the Dark Dawn."

The employee shook his head, looked at Lin Yun's expression, and said slowly:

"They said that the person who was arrested didn't seem to be a magician, but a... magical girl."

Chapter 173 Reception

2023-06-12

Lin Yun saw the "magical girl" that the employees mentioned through the surveillance in the interrogation room.

In a small room made of special glass, a girl in tattered clothes and handcuffs on her wrists was sitting with her back against the wall. Although she was imprisoned, there was no sign of nervousness on her face.

It looks like she really is a magical girl, Lin Yun thought to himself.

The reason why he believed this statement and thought that the other party was really a magical girl was because he saw not only a girl, but also a fairy.

"What on earth are you doing? Are you an idiot? How could you even bring the wrong amount of cash?"

The demon had no intention of hiding anything, and was shouting to the girl excitedly, "We are all doomed now! There is no place to live! No place to take a shower! We are going to be put in a shelter soon!"

"It's been said that there is no such thing as time in cultivation. It is inevitable that the world will change after you come out of retreat." The girl in a tattered Taoist robe said leisurely, "The world is different and the times are different. Things in the world are unpredictable. This can be regarded as a broadening of my horizons."

"What kind of insight is that? The insight you get from being locked up? I shouldn't have agreed to follow you out. I should have refused from the beginning!"

The goblin held its tail erect, and was obviously very emotional. It said indignantly: "Did you turn your brain into muscles from practicing martial arts? Why didn't you resist a group of ordinary people and just surrendered like that? What if someone casts a forbidden magic on us? We will all be fish on the chopping board!"

"The forbidden magic of the weak cannot restrain the strong, so don't worry. Besides, we just ate a free meal and didn't hurt anyone, so why is it so serious?"

The girl leaned against the wall, narrowing her eyes. "As for surrendering without a fight... I hate bullying the weak. These officers are just following orders, they have no ill will towards us, so there is no need to do anything. If we have a nice attitude and explain the situation clearly, I'm sure they won't make it difficult for us."

"Have you forgotten that we came to Fangting City to cause trouble and are actually bad people?" The goblin suddenly became quiet and said quietly.

"Hasn't this done anything bad yet?"

The girl was calm and composed: "What's the crime of doing something that hasn't happened yet?"

"What if they ask you for the certification plate number later?"

"Report my old code name."

The girl remained calm: "Anyway, this code name is indeed true, and they can't tell the truth for a while."

"What if they contact the kingdom and find out that your code name is actually a traitor!"

The goblin raised his tail and said angrily, "Now everything is exposed!"

Lin Yun watched the crosstalk-like conversation between the two through the surveillance camera. His originally relatively calm expression now became a little subtle, and he didn't know how to react for a moment.

The amount of information in this conversation between the man and the goblin was so huge that just by listening to such a short passage, he could already tell where it came from - it must be claw marks.

However, their attitude when talking was too unguarded, as if they were completely unaware that there were surveillance cameras in the interrogation room. They just chatted as if no one was around, which made Lin Yun doubt the authenticity of the conversation.

Apart from anything else, the other party's experience was already strange enough. Not only did the dignified magical girl eat a free meal, but she also surrendered after failing to cause trouble. After being arrested, she still looked so nonchalant, which was really incredible.

Are they telling the truth? If so, this magical girl came from Claw Scar, so what is her purpose of this trip? Why would she be willing to be captured by the Strategy Bureau? Is this a trap?

If this is fake, then it is worth pondering. What is the meaning of a magical girl and a fairy running to the Strategy Bureau to fake claw marks? Is there a deeper plot behind it?

After a little thought, Lin Yun felt that he should still contact them in person.

The other party has already come to your door, so whether it is a conspiracy or a coincidence, there is no reason to turn a blind eye. The former cannot be avoided, and the latter does not need to be avoided. It is better to try to get something out of him.

After leaving the monitoring room, Lin Yun followed the guidance of the staff to the corresponding interrogation room. After instructing them to wait at the door, he walked in alone.

What he saw was a scene exactly the same as the one in the surveillance video - the ragged magical girl and the black cat-like fairy turned their heads together and looked at him who walked in from the door.

"Hello, I'm the director of the local Strategy Bureau, my last name is Lin."

He introduced himself with basic courtesy, then asked, "I heard from an employee that there was a disturbance, and the person involved seemed to be a magical girl, probably the lady accompanied by a fairy. We are very grateful that you two did not use force against the employees. If our employees have handled anything inappropriate before, and you want to give me feedback, I will try my best to give you a satisfactory answer."

He did not pretend to be an ordinary person as usual and ignore the existence of the black cat fairy. Because he is now the director of the Strategy Bureau, theoretically he should have been exposed to magic and the supernatural, at least have some experience in practicing magic, so it is more normal for him to see the fairy.

"But, to be honest, I see that you don't seem to be the magical girls and fairies registered locally. May I ask if you are from other cities?"

Lin Yun pretended to be puzzled and said, "I wonder what the two of you are doing in Fangting City? If it is not a national secret, perhaps you can tell us, which will help the Strategy Bureau provide some help and dispel the misunderstanding between us."

He deliberately pretended that he didn't recognize the other person as "Claw Mark", and spoke like an ordinary government official who didn't know the inside story. And an ordinary official would obviously only regard the other person as a real magical girl, and the most appropriate attitude would be politeness with a little respect.

It was difficult to tell whether the other party's conversation in the surveillance video was true or false, and he didn't know whether they were also pretending and deceiving. In this case, it would be best to pretend to be nice and hide his true thoughts, and then slowly test them.

After hearing what he said, the girl and the fairy in front of him paused for a few seconds and then spoke one after another.

"Ah, yes, yes, we are from the magical kingdom. You, the Abnormal Policy Bureau, have no right to detain us. Let us out quickly!"
