After get off work, I become a magical girl

If she were to talk about her inner feelings, she really wanted to tell the driver to continue chasing, but reason told her: As a magical girl, no matter what the situation, defeating the remaining beasts is the top priority.

There was not much time to make a decision. She looked at the open road ahead, and all her emotions turned into a sigh.

"——Why, a remnant beast appears at this time!?"

Complaining, she released her hand from Xia Liang's back. She unbuckled her seat belt, opened the car door, and said loudly to the two girls behind her:

"What are you looking at? Get out of the car!"

"Wait, you guys are getting off here?"

The driver's voice trembled: "Didn't you see what's outside the car? Hurry up and sit down, we should run away!"

Unfortunately, his advice was not conveyed to the girls at all, because before he could finish his words, the three girls filed out of the car, leaving only two ten-dollar bills thrown on the seat, probably to pay for the fare.

He wanted to find the traces of these little passengers, but unfortunately he didn't see a single figure. He also saw that the beast had noticed him and rushed towards the road with its claws waving. He could only grit his teeth, give up the idea of ​​saving people, step on the accelerator and choose to leave.

After that, the transformed magical girls rushed forward and fought with the remaining beasts.

This battle is destined to be unfair.

This suddenly appearing crippled beast was just an ordinary insect-level creature. It was an extremely dangerous monster to ordinary citizens, but to the current Fangting City team it was just a pure sandbag.

In addition, because of its appearance, several girls were embarrassed to some extent, and they were in a particularly bad mood, so they attacked it particularly hard. Within a few minutes, the unfortunate beast fell to the ground while wailing, and turned into the echo in Lin Xiaolu's hand.

Lin Xiaolu dealt with the beast with an unhappy look on her face, but she still hadn't forgotten the purpose of her trip. She quickly stood on the wreckage and looked into the distance, but unfortunately, Hong Si and the vehicle were no longer visible in her field of vision.

Now, she had to admit a fact - that her tracking had failed.

It was not because of a mistake in the operation, nor because of a traitor's betrayal, but because of a brutal beast that appeared out of nowhere.

"Oh, if you lose her, then you lose her. I told you to just look in that direction. Sister Hong must have just gone to work."

Xia Liang, who was standing by, patted her shoulder to comfort her, but the smile on his face did not reveal his true intentions at all: "It's a rare half-day off, we might as well find a place to have some fun."

"Yeah, yeah!" Bai Jingxuan, who got her phone back, quickly deleted all the messages she had edited, and then responded like a good baby.

"You two! You two!"

Although it was her own decision, Lin Xiaolu was still so angry that she stamped her feet: "Why are you so happy when the operation failed! Where is your backbone? Where is your ambition? Where is your spirit of unity?"

"No war crimes, no war crimes."

Xia Liang continued to smooth things over, "We have all tried our best, it's just a coincidence, there is nothing we can do, just relax."

"Sister Xia Liang is right!" Bai Jingxuan nodded repeatedly.

"What do you mean by unfortunate? It was almost successful!"

Lin Xiaolu was furious and pointed at Bai Jingxuan: "And you, what do you mean by 'right'? You little traitor, were you trying to tip off the police just now?"

Bai Jingxuan stopped nodding suddenly and started shaking her head vigorously.

"You're thinking too much. How could a good kid like Xiaoxuan do something like that?"

Xia Liang pushed Lin Xiaolu's shoulders, with a brighter smile on his face: "There's really no other way. We've already failed. Let's find a place nearby to play. I've already decided on the place!"

"you!"

Lin Xiaolu turned around and glared at Xia Liang. After a while, her attitude softened a little. Perhaps realizing that the situation was indeed irreversible, she lowered her head in frustration: "Forget it, tell me, where are we going to play?"

After all, it was a rare vacation, and she didn't want to spend the rest of her time in negative emotions.

"Let me see... the name is Fangting World Trade Mall, which is near the Yi Ce Bureau."

After getting Lin Xiaolu's approval, Xia Liang opened his phone and clicked on his memo: "It's a shopping mall invested by the government. It has only been open for a short time. I heard that there are many interesting stores. I haven't been there yet."

"Near the Strategy Bureau?"

"Yes, it only takes about twenty minutes to walk to the Strategy Bureau."

Xia Liang showed the screen of his mobile phone and shook it: "If you want, we can play until the end of the working time, and then go to the Strategy Bureau to confirm whether Sister Hong is at work. If she really came out of the Strategy Bureau by then, she can at least confirm what I said, right?"

"What if she didn't come from the Strategy Bureau?"

"Then I'll accompany you next time, is that okay?" Xia Liang said with his hands on his hips, thinking that his goal had been achieved and in a good mood.

As for Lin Xiaolu, whose plan failed, she was unhappy and felt that she had no interest in anything. However, she still held an attitude of almost cutting her losses and nodded reluctantly: "...I hope you keep your word."

The girls who were unable to continue following due to various coincidences did not know that Hong Siyu's car was indeed heading towards the outskirts of the city, towards the Yi Ce Bureau. However, before reaching the destination, a little change occurred.

The car turned to the side.

Chapter 185 Begging

2023-07-02

At noon on the same day, in the director's office of the Strategy Bureau, Lin Yun was dealing with a troublesome guest.

A woman in a tattered Taoist robe was sitting in front of his desk, holding a box lunch in her hand and wolfing down the food.

"Happy, happy."

She chewed the food in her mouth and said in a vague voice: "I haven't had such a good meal in many days. It feels so good!"

"I hope this is the last time."

Behind his desk, Lin Yun was holding his head with his hand as he felt a headache coming on. “The Yi Ce Bureau is not a restaurant, nor is it a relief center. Please leave immediately after you finish your meal.”

"Uh... yeah! I don't want to either!"

She swallowed the food in her mouth with her throat moving. Yuan tapped the lunch box in her hand with her chopsticks and said, "I have experienced many vicissitudes of life these days. I am so poor that I can't even afford a full meal."

"Destitute and destitute..."

His eyelids twitched twice. Although Lin Yun felt strange, he still kept a blank expression: "What on earth happened?"

"Nothing happened. In short, a penny can make a hero fall."

Yuan held the chopsticks between his thumbs and spread out his hands: "I don't have any money."

"I know you don't have any money, otherwise you wouldn't have been arrested for eating and drinking."

Lin Yun nodded: "I just don't understand why you have fallen to this point."

The Yuan in front of him looked even worse than a few days ago. If the robe he wore was just worn out before, now it was dirty and messy, looking like he had rolled in a garbage dump.

The scene where the other party loudly declared "I want to have a good time in the human city" and then left in a leisurely manner is still vivid in my mind. I didn't expect that he would become like this in the blink of an eye. It is really embarrassing.

"It's a long story... I originally wanted to find a place to work, but after working for a few days, the foreman who was in charge of leading me disappeared completely. I didn't have a mobile phone and didn't know where he was."

Putting the chopsticks on the lunch box, Yuan sighed: "When I couldn't find a job, I thought about doing odd jobs elsewhere, but they all said they wanted some 'education'. I didn't even finish elementary school before I started practicing martial arts, how could I have such a thing."

"so?"

"So, I had no money and no food. I had no place to live and nothing to eat."

Yuan licked his lips, seeming to be still unsatisfied with the lunch box he had just finished. "I couldn't find a place to sleep, so I originally planned to find a random place in the park to lie down, but there were people patrolling there at night, and they didn't allow homeless people to sleep outdoors, so I was chased away after sleeping there for one night."

"Since I was not allowed to sleep in the park, I could only look for abandoned houses. However, after searching for several places, they were all too dirty and messy to stay. The few clean houses were already occupied by other beggars. They thought I was providing some illegal service."

Waving his hands as if to drive away bad luck, Yuan continued, "I had no choice but to sleep under the bridge. It was a bit cold at night, but as martial artists, we are not afraid of getting sick from the cold."

"Then you should solve the problem of food!"

Sammy on the side suddenly interrupted and shouted, seeming to be full of resentment: "It's fine if you can't solve the problem of eating yourself, but you also want me to compete with stray cats for the trash can! How many times do I have to say that I am a fairy, not a cat!"

"They look so similar. A cat can use its claws to dig in a trash can, so why can't you?"

Yuan was a little surprised and said, "Don't even mention you. Even I went to look through the trash can when I couldn't stand the fasting..."

"Alright, alright, I already know your situation."

Feeling that if they continued talking, it would turn into an argument, Lin Yun decisively raised his hand to stop them: "If you want to quarrel, can you go outside first? As the main culprit who destroyed the office facilities of the Strategy Bureau, you are still wanted by us. Although the Strategy Bureau has no ability to arrest you, can you please not treat this place as a vegetable market?"

"Hey, am I wanted now?"

Yuan blinked and looked back at Sammy behind him: "Look, what do you mean? Wanted? Doesn't this sound a bit like a bad guy?"

"I'd rather you do something more in line with your identity as a bad guy, rather than begging for fortune-telling on the streets like a charlatan..." Semi sighed.

Yuan said confidently: "So I came to the Yi Ce Bureau to beg for alms, didn't I?"

——"I must emphasize again that the Special Policy Bureau is not a relief center."

Seeing that the man and the demon were about to formulate a criminal plan in front of him, Lin Yun interrupted again: "However, if you just want to solve the problem of food and accommodation, it is not impossible to consider it. Although the Strategy Bureau cannot provide any financial assistance to wanted criminals. But if you really need it, I can give you a small sum of money in my personal name."

"Oh, money? Really?"

Yuan was shocked when he heard this: "Begging at the Yi Ce Bureau is actually useful?"

"I'd like to make it clear in advance that this amount of money is not a lot. It will only be used to provide basic accommodation and food. And in exchange, you must not cause any trouble in Fangting City next time."

Lin Yun rubbed his temple with one hand: "If you can't do this, I will only report it to the higher-ups and see if the Magic Kingdom has any opinions."

This sentence was actually scary to say, because he had already reported to Emerald about the existence of this man and the fairy, and the answer he got from her was very simple: there wouldn't be any big problem.

Although he didn't know where the other party got the confidence from, since the Gem Scepter had made such a promise, he didn't want to get involved in the matter.

After all, it was no longer his turn to worry about the safety of the Beast Source - it had become something of an emerald.

He had already packed it up and thrown it to Emerald.

Realizing that holding this thing in his hand would only attract more people's covetousness, and considering that he was currently unable to deal with the endless stream of enemies, he decisively threw it away.

What he needs to do most now is to maintain the stability of Fangting City. Allowing the Source of Beasts to cause trouble in his hands will not only be detrimental to his own safety, but also to the growth of the new members of the team.

It would be fine if an enemy of Yuan's level did not have much malicious intent, but if they came with great malicious intent, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for Fangting City.

Considering all this, there is no better buyer than Emerald. No matter how untrustworthy the Gem Staff is, it still belongs to the Magical Girl. It is better for the Beast Source to fall into Emerald's hands than into Claw's hands.

As long as the owner of the Beast Source becomes Emerald, then the responsibility for its safety will naturally be transferred to Emerald. It is easier for a Gem Scepter in power to protect the Beast Source than for a wounded person like him.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Yun is now more confident facing Yuan - since the thing is not in his hands, he is not afraid of what the other party can do.

His attitude surprised Yuan, who came to the Strategy Bureau with the idea of ​​"giving it a try". "It's easy not to cause trouble. After all, I don't like bullying the weak. But this money...are you really going to give it to me? Don't you want to ask for something more?"

"It would be a great thing for the Yi Strategy Bureau if you don't cause trouble."

Lin Yun narrowed his eyes: "As for other requests, I don't think you can give anything like this."

After he said this, he found that the other person was looking at him strangely.

"Well... he looks quite decent, and can be considered a handsome guy. His position is also not bad, he is a director."
