After get off work, I become a magical girl

Yuan rubbed his chin and said, "If you want something special, I can consider it."

"no."

Hearing the other party's slightly obscure words, Lin Yun remained indifferent. He just drooped his eyelids and said indifferently: "Please take the money and leave. Don't stay in the Yi Ce Bureau for too long."

"Hahaha, with your slovenly appearance, what man would be interested in you?"

Seeing that Yuan's suggestion and actions were blocked, Semi on the side immediately mocked: "You'd better stop having such evil thoughts."

"Well."

Even though she was a carefree person, she was still a little frustrated when her charm as a member of the opposite sex was denied so directly: "You rejected me so decisively? As a woman, am I not attractive at all?"

"I'm sorry, you're beautiful, but I'm married."

Lin Yun still had no expression on his face: "And I love my wife very much."

"Okay, okay, then just pretend I didn't say anything."

Putting the lunch box in his hand on the desk in front of him, Yuan said as if giving up: "Just to confirm, you said we can't cause trouble, but I'm not going to cause trouble by challenging a magical girl to a fight, right?"

“It doesn’t count unless you kill people or destroy public facilities.”

Guessing the other party's plan, Lin Yun suppressed the twitching of his mouth and narrated in a calm voice: "It's just that neither I nor the Yi Ce Bureau want to see such a thing."

From an emotional point of view, he really wanted to dispel the other party's idea of ​​arguing a fight, because he was very busy and really didn't have time to fight with a martial arts fanatic every day; but from a rational point of view, blocking all the other party's roads would be detrimental to the negotiation. Therefore, he could only use the tone of a third party and relatively soft language to express his opposition.

"Then can you give me Cornflower's contact information?"

His opinion obviously did not touch Yuan's nerves. When she heard that fighting was not strictly prohibited, she immediately perked up: "I haven't seen her for several days."

"The Strategy Bureau has a two-way confidentiality rule. We will not provide the personal information of magical girls to anyone."

Lin Yun said solemnly: "Besides, it would be useless even if I gave you the contact information. As you said before, you don't have a mobile phone."

“Oh, I don’t have a cell phone.”

Yuan finally realized and nodded: "But it doesn't matter. If I have money, I can use a public phone. By the way, if that's the case, why don't you give me a mobile phone as soon as possible..."

"No need to discuss."

Lin Yun ended the conversation with extremely cold words.

In the end, he gave Yuan several thousand dollars, ensuring that it was enough to maintain the other party's food and lodging for a period of time, and then he decisively "invited" the two troublesome guests out of the Yi Ce Bureau.

After seeing off the two great gods, he was able to regain his free time and start to deal with the work he had not finished today.

The director of the Special Policy Bureau not only has to deal with internal affairs of the bureau, but also has to deal with communications with the Special Policy Bureaus of other cities and the local municipal government.

In the past month, the Full Moon Festival, Spring by the Lake, and the attack on the Strategy Bureau a few days ago have caused the city government to bleed heavily financially. Whether it is the cost of comforting the sacrificed employees or the cost of rebuilding the Strategy Bureau, all fell on their heads, which made some government officials very dissatisfied. Although they knew that Lin Yun, the airborne director of the Strategy Bureau, had some background, it did not stop them from making "suggestions" to Lin Yun, asking him to standardize the management of the Strategy Bureau and reduce additional losses.

In this regard, Lin Yun had to take time out to go to the municipal government to make a report to explain the increase in expenditures in recent days, and at the same time to appease people to ensure that the Special Policy Bureau would not be cut off from its funding source.

The huge Strategy Bureau, with thousands of employees, required a lot of money to maintain. If he failed to appease the city government officials, even if the money was cut by 10% or 20%, many places would be stretched to the limit, and he would have a lot of headaches.

While thinking about these questions and completing some of the paperwork on hand, time gradually moved towards the evening and it was time to get off work.

Although there was still a lot of work to be done, Lin Yun could no longer continue because he had other plans after get off work - he had to go to the Emerald Research Institute.

He always goes there these days.

Firstly, because the transaction of the Source of Beasts has been completed, the treatment process for the True Aspect has also begun. He needs to go to Emerald for more examinations and some minor physical therapy to start controlling his injuries.

Secondly, it was because he had a fellow patient there who needed to be taken care of, that was Hong Siyu.

As expected, the reason why Hong Siyu was able to regain the power of the magical girl was because of Emerald. According to her, Hong Siyu had retired not long ago, less than ten years, so there were some ways to regain her magic source.

Of course, when asked about the specific method, she became vague and obviously didn't want to talk about it more, and it wasn't a formal way either.

As for the motive for doing so, it was because when Hong Siyu was sent to the country for treatment, Emerald first proposed a deal with Delphinium. In order to increase the bargaining chips of the deal, Emerald privately asked Hong Siyu. After getting his consent, he carried out this operation.

Hong Si and reclaiming the power of the magical girl are not without hidden dangers. Just from the perspective of identity, because she did not join the kingdom like a normal magical girl, nor did she obtain the qualifications of a lifelong magical girl like Delphinium, so now she is considered an "illegal magical girl" just like Claw Mark.

As for the power itself, it is even more problematic, because before regaining the power of a magical girl, Hong Siyu did not live as an ordinary person. In the past two years in Fangting City, she was seriously polluted by the magic source of the remnant beast implanted in her body. Even after the remnant beast concept was directly separated by Cuique with scissors, her sleeping true self still showed a certain degree of mutation.

Therefore, Hong Siyu, who regained the power of a magical girl, is not in a stable physical condition.

Compared to Delphinium's symptoms of occasionally transforming into a magical girl, her symptoms were much simpler - she couldn't change back.

It can be said that this condition is much better than Delphinium's, but that is simply because Delphinium's condition is too bad; from an absolute perspective, her own condition is not much better.

According to Emerald, after obtaining the Source of the Beast, she could make some targeted attempts to stabilize Hong Siyu's physical condition. Therefore, Hong Siyu had to go to Emerald's research institute for follow-up treatment in recent days.

It has to be said that the weight of this chip did shake Delphinium's decision to a certain extent.

For this reason, after get off work these days, no matter how busy he is, he needs to find a way to take time out to visit Emerald's research institute to learn about the latest progress in treatment.

Chapter 186 Temporary Body

2023-07-02

When Lin Yun took the subway to Emerald's research institute, he happened to see Hong Siyu walking down from the treatment bed, finishing a day's treatment. The fairy doll was also sitting by the bed, still debugging something.

Holding the Heart Gem in his pocket, Lin Yun simply sensed it and found that Hong Si and the magical fluctuations on his body seemed to be a little different. He moved his mind and subconsciously walked towards the research institute.

However, just before he took his first step, the doll beside the bed also noticed the magical fluctuations of the runes at the door. It raised its head, looked at Lin Yun, stretched out its claws, and made a stop gesture: "Wait a minute, don't come in yet."

Lin Yun's feet suddenly stopped in mid-air.

His slightly puzzled gaze perfectly expressed his thoughts. Noticing this gaze, Emerald did not keep it a secret. The doll's claws were bent, and one finger pointed directly at the heart gem in Lin Yun's hand: "Transform first, don't come in with your real body."

Lin Yun then realized that he had not yet turned into a magical girl. He took a half step back and looked around in the corridor of the office building. After confirming that there were no other people's sights and cameras, he changed into the appearance of Delphinium and walked into Emerald's research institute.

"Will there be any impact if I enter this room with my real body?"

After activating the rune on the door and closing the door of the institute, Delphinium asked with some confusion: "It seemed to be the same when I came here before."

"It's difficult to explain. To put it simply, the space of this room has been affected and changed to a certain extent by the kingdom. It is in a transitional state."

Seeing that Delphinium had completed the transformation, Emerald lowered her head again and began to fiddle with the panel of the treatment bed in front of her: "It will be fine for the magic girl's magic body to enter here, but entering this space with the main body may cause some adverse reactions that you don't want to see."

Delphinium looked at Hong Siyu beside her, and walked to the treatment bed: "For example?"

"For example, the body is exploded by excessive magic power and turned into a soul creature."

The fairy doll uttered the shocking truth: "Or the body becomes magical and incompatible with the material world, and the body is short of weight after going out."

"It sounds more serious than entering the realm in the physical body." After hearing the other party's description of the horrific end, Kuiqi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"Because the kingdom is a stable world, the rules between worlds also have stable transformation entrances; and this is just a small temporary space, so the stability is much worse."

Emerald didn't mind exposing the fact that her technology was still immature. She dragged her voice and introduced lazily, "You can also use this as an anti-theft measure. If a thief from the material world wants to come in and steal, there is a high probability that he will explode on the spot when he walks in."

"…Is this really a method that a magical girl should use?"

"Didn't you tell me before? I am the Gem Scepter." Emerald's voice was calm.

A person who has completely given up on his face cannot be hurt by words. Obviously, the other party has completely given up the intention of clarifying the name "Gem Scepter" and instead used it as his own shield.

Since she had said this much, Delphinium naturally tactfully stopped asking further questions and instead asked another question.

"Then why did you call me with the magic mirror on my way here?"

As they spent more time dealing with each other, Delphinium also understood Emerald's temperament. She became more straightforward in front of her, unlike the fake flattery she had in front of the Golden Green Cat's Eye: "You should know how eye-catching it is to take out a magic mirror in public. I can't do that. You can't just use the magic mirror for fun, right?"

"An old man like me can't understand the things you young people talk about. As for what you are talking about, you have to ask her."

After half-heartedly dealing with it, the doll stretched out its paw and gestured in the direction of Hong Siyu: "You can ask her to explain it to you."

After it said this, Kuizi remembered that when she first entered the door, she felt that there was something wrong with Hongsi and the magic fluctuations on her body.

A month has passed since Hong Siyu was sent to the country for treatment after the Full Moon Festival. After this period of adjustment, the problem should have stabilized. Not to mention cured, at least it should not have worsened.

However, changes in magic fluctuations are often closely related to the true nature. The other party was so serious that she became a little worried.

"Is there something wrong?" Her first reaction was that something went wrong in the treatment, so she asked with a frown.

"No, it's not a problem or anything..."

Hong Siyu, who maintained her magical girl form, spoke hesitantly, flipping through her magic suit notebook in her hand, her eyes wandering around: "It's just something."

Delphinium looked at her, then looked at the doll beside her, and asked seriously, "What's the matter? Did the Chief ask you for a sky-high medical fee?"

"Hey, I can't pretend I didn't hear that. Your question is questioning my character, and I feel like my self-esteem has been insulted."

Emerald on the side immediately said in a discontented tone: "No matter how much I need funds, I won't bully the younger generation in a place like this."

"Haha... Senior, you think too badly of the Chief."

Hong Siyu smiled helplessly, and relaxed his grip on the notebook a little: "Actually, it's good news. That is to say... we just discussed a plan. If it goes well, I can turn back into my original form next."

Her words startled Delphinium slightly.

"Can you change back to your original form?"

After a brief pause, Delphinium immediately asked, "Really?"

"Well, although it's a bit troublesome, it can be done for now."

Hong Siyu tilted her head: "But, that is to say... it may not be the same as the usual meaning of 'changing back'."

"I feel like you're going to say something really annoying next."

"...As expected of a senior, indeed."

Hong Siyu lowered his eyes and nodded: "Because my original body has not fully recovered and is still in an unstable state. So if I want to change back and resume my normal life, the Chief gave me an idea."

"What's the idea?"

"Use the true form as a template to create a 'temporary entity'." Hong Siyu said honestly.

Cuiqiao did not reply, but fell silent for a moment. She stared at Hong Siyu and spent a few seconds to understand the meaning of her junior's words. Because her gaze was too direct and unconcealed, Hong Siyu didn't know what she was thinking of, and she lowered her head even more.

After a long silence, Kuizi started to speak again: "What you mean by 'creating a temporary body', is it just to forcibly create a body and use it as the body for your activities in the material world?"

"As expected, she is one of the top five magical girls with the fastest blooming speed in the past hundred years. Her comprehension ability is indeed extraordinary."

Emerald on the side continued the conversation, and her half-hearted compliment drew a slightly cold eye roll from Delphinium, but she didn't care:

"To be precise, because Chao Yan's original body was too severely affected by the remnant beast, even if the concept of the remnant beast was removed, there were too many eroded organs in the body that were difficult to restore to their original state. It takes a long-term nurturing process to heal, and it must be forced to be dormant for the time being, so a spare body is taken out to move."

"It sounds like a technology that only exists in science fiction movies." Delphinium expressed her thoughts very bluntly.

"Don't underestimate our National Research Institute. Some science fiction movies in the material world may not be able to imagine our capabilities."
