After get off work, I become a magical girl

If there was still a trace of resentment before, now she has made a firm decision: this time, the Investigation Institute must be called over.

After doing all this, she took two unsteady steps back and dissipated the magic power escaping from her body.

No one noticed that her head was covered in sweat.

Rather, her feelings were far worse than what she showed. The severe pain in her head alone made her feel as if her head was about to explode. The intensity of the pain was enough to make most people wail.

Delphinium was not surprised because she knew that this was an old injury of hers.

The true form was damaged, the heart gem was shattered, and everything Sparrow said before was true. But what she didn't know was that the damage suffered by Delphinium was more serious than she could imagine. So her other guess was also correct: as a magical girl who once reached the Bud level, Delphinium could not open her own wonderland now.

Not only Wonderland, but even the most basic quality of a magical girl: the total amount of magic power, has actually shrunk a lot under the influence of injuries, which forced Delphinium to adopt a magic-saving strategy in her daily life.

The powerful magic power just now naturally did not come from nowhere, but was the result of Delphinium ignoring its injuries, fully stimulating the source of magic power, and then completely exploding to regain its original total amount of magic power.

Doing so could allow her magic power to temporarily return to its peak level, but the price was that the injuries to her true form and soul were further triggered, accompanied by extremely severe headaches. As the peak magic power was maintained for longer and longer, the pain would become more and more intense until she was completely unconscious.

Injury was a very important reason why Lin Yun chose to retire.

In the battle with Sparrow, she originally did not intend to use this method, but planned to show weakness in order to engage in a war of attrition, consume the opponent's magic power through defensive counterattacks, and then look for an opportunity to make a fatal move.

Such a plan does not require such an explosion of magic power, nor does it require any drastic loss of magic power. It can also obtain the opponent's information during the battle, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

However, when the other party told her that Lin Xiaolu might be in crisis, Cuique realized that no matter whether it was true or false, she could not delay any longer.

Even if it's just to be on the safe side, you have to fight quickly and decisively.

That's why she mobilized all her magic power and defeated Sparrow as quickly as possible.

The next step would be to notify the Strategy Bureau to come here and pick up the person first, and then rush to the place where she last sensed Mo Ke as quickly as possible to see what was going on.

Only when she reached this point did she suddenly remember one thing: her cell phone was knocked away in the previous fight.

But now the place where I am now is actually not where the phone fell. If I fly back to get the phone, it will take too much time.

In this situation, she saw a passerby looking over here not far away.

So she walked straight over and stretched out her hand to the stunned passerby:

"Excuse me, can you lend me your phone?"

It was only when she said this casually that she realized that the appearance of this passerby seemed somewhat familiar, or rather, too familiar.

Wang Tengfei handed over his cell phone in a daze.

At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind: it really was cornflower.

Even though he had seen the girl standing in front of him for more than 20 years, he could still recognize her face. Although he had changed a lot, the girl was still the same as she was that year, as if time had stopped for her, and she hadn't changed at all.

"Is it... cornflowers?"

Looking at the girl in front of him who was tapping on her phone with both hands, he couldn't help but ask.

Then he saw the girl paused.

The pause lasted only a moment, and she quickly continued her actions, entered a phone number, and held the phone to her ear, as if the previous pause was just an illusion of Wang Tengfei.

While waiting for the phone to connect, she looked at the man in front of her with a slightly complicated mood, but her face was calm and she said, "Do you know me?"

After recognizing the man in front of her as her general manager and hearing her former code name from him, she found it difficult to describe how she felt.

"Ah? I, this..."

Opening his mouth, Wang Tengfei vaguely remembered that he had a lot of questions to ask. After all, when he was young, he was indeed a fan of the girl in front of him. At that time, he had many puzzles and regrets about the disappearance of Cornflower.

Only now did he suddenly realize that he could not remember any of those questions.

No matter how much he liked her, how much he regretted and was unwilling to give up, now there were only a few words left, and he could no longer recall those emotions.

Like old faded photos in frames: their outlines are still clear, but they have become white. The questions that once filled my mind are as distorted as the colors of the photos, and the emotions hidden in them have become as bland as water, no longer stirring up ripples in my heart.

"I... used to be your fan."

He thought about it and this was the only thing he could say.

When Delphinium heard this, she looked at the man in front of her again, hesitated for a moment, and then replied in the same calm tone: "Thank you."

She didn't know what to say.

Then, as the call was connected, she heard Hong Siyu's voice and ignored Wang Tengfei. After informing Hong Siyu of the situation and specific location at the scene, and reminding her of many precautions for guarding the sparrow, she hung up the phone and returned the phone to Wang Tengfei.

"that……"

Wang Tengfei took the phone from Cuique blankly and asked hesitantly, "Are you Lao Lin?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the temperature around them seemed to drop by two degrees.

Delphinium's originally calm and cold expression froze on her face, and after a while, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

As expected, it was guessed, she thought helplessly.

Earlier in the general manager's office, because Sparrow tried to directly attack the office building to force her to show up, she had no choice but to choose to transform on the spot.

Although she tried her best to keep Wang Tengfei out of her sight and transformed into Delphinium before rushing out of the office building, the process was not rigorous and the other party still discovered the clues in the end.

At this time, the more she tried to explain, the more obvious it would be, so she just withdrew her hand indifferently and said calmly: "To work in the real world, you need a little disguise after all."

She only said this one sentence and left Wang Tengfei to figure out the rest.

Chapter 84 Anger (5k)

2023-04-30

After this was said, Wang Tengfei indeed thought of many possibilities.

Was the person named "Lin Yun" a disguised version of the magical girl Cornflower from the beginning? Or was Lin Yun also a person with extraordinary powers, who asked Cornflower to disguise herself as him? Or

He knew that Lin Yun was widowed two years ago. Rather, the most hotly discussed gossip in the subsidiary at that time was whether the female subordinate in the after-sales department who had always had feelings for Lin Yun could take the opportunity to get promoted.

The fact is, until the female subordinate climbed up to another high position and was transferred to the headquarters, her relationship with Lin Yun had not made any progress at all.

In the past, everyone thought that this was because Lin Yun was depressed and unable to get over the grief of losing his spouse. But when Wang Tengfei thought about it again now, he tasted a bit of difference.

In addition, whenever the company has team building, Lin Yun always likes to work alone quietly, and always abides by the bottom line when it comes to entertaining and socializing, and never gets involved with other women in the service place...

The experience of working together for more than ten years made Wang Tengfei feel that he had figured out the truth.

"You turned into Lao Lin's appearance...is this also magic?" So he asked.

His guess is that "Lin Yun" is just a false identity used by Cornflower in the material world society.

Although this speculation is very bizarre, many clues in the past seem to point in this direction, and it is reasonable that things related to magic are a little bizarre.

"almost."

Delphinium had no intention of continuing to explain, so she left an ambiguous answer, took two steps back, and prepared to turn around and leave.

Now she has resigned from the company, and she and Wang Tengfei are just familiar strangers. There is no need to say anything more to him. For her now, the most important thing is to rush to the place where Mo Ke appeared last, to see if her daughter and her group are really in danger.

As for the disclosure of his identity, once the Strategy Bureau is notified, someone will naturally come to handle it. After Wang Tengfei accepted the psychological suggestion from the Strategy Bureau, he would subconsciously regard today's experience as a bizarre dream and gradually forget it over time.

The severe headache still did not ease, but Delphinium knew she had no time to waste. She retracted the last wave of magic thread, opened her palm, and the wand reappeared in her hand.

—“Cornflower!”

At this moment, Wang Tengfei's voice came from behind her again: "You resigned and left because there are some dangerous enemies in Fangting City?"

Delphinium did not look back, but instead mobilized the magical power around it, preparing to take off into the air once again.

"You don't have to resign! If you don't have time, I can give you a sinecure here!" Wang Tengfei said hurriedly.

In response, Delphinium still did not respond.

Seeing the figure that he had always longed for but never reached when he was young was about to leave like this, Wang Tengfei felt speechless for a moment, because he really didn't know what else he could say.

He is very successful, but this success is still limited to ordinary people.

He is rich, but money is useless in the face of the power of magic.

He felt that every word he said was an insult to the once fanatical and pure self. Every time he tried to measure this once beautiful memory with interests, there would be a voice telling him: Stop talking, shut up.

Maybe I should really shut up. Silence is the best choice.

When Lin Yun submitted his resignation to the company and when cornflowers appeared in the city again, he should have understood that some things were over.

No matter why the other party disappeared, and why he had been an ordinary person in this ordinary branch company for so long, when he revealed his true identity in front of him, everything in the past came to an end.

Perhaps, watching her leave like this is the most sensible choice.

But he still wanted to speak, not for the present, but for his past self. If that was the case, how should he express himself now?

Looking at the figure gradually rising into the air in front of him, he seemed to understand in a trance.

He suddenly knew what he should say.

"Cornflower! Come on!"

He suddenly opened his mouth and shouted, his hoarse voice now loud as a teenager: "The people who supported you in the past are still living in this city. Although no one will mention it deliberately, we all still remember you!"

"Although I don't know why you disappeared, now you come out to fight again to protect something. You must be an enemy that we cannot understand!"

"But if you need any help, we will all come forward to help you, because you were once our hero!"

"So, ahem, so..."

Looking at the figure that was getting farther and farther away, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Don't disappear suddenly again!"

After shouting this, he felt a sharp pain in his throat, followed by a cough. His body, weakened by tobacco and alcohol, and his physical strength, weakened by age, made it impossible for him to shout loudly.

But no matter how uncomfortable he felt when he shouted, he felt that his former self, the self who liked magical girls, seemed to have floated up from the bottom of the lake of memory, and the blurred figure became clear again.

He failed to regain the impulse of his youth, but he seemed to have found himself.

Then he saw the figure that was already level with the sun, making a gesture to him from a distance.

She is waving.

As if promising "no problem", the girl waved her wrist, stayed in the air for a few seconds, then burst out with magic power again and flew to the other side of the sky.

Wang Tengfei was left staring at the shadow that was getting smaller and smaller. Although he felt a little lost, for some reason, he suddenly smiled with relief.

"Let's take an early holiday this afternoon."

Above the blue sky, a deep blue magic trail stretched across the sky. Although it was not traveling with the other three colors as in the past, the solitary blue was straight and clear, upright and firm.
