As if noticing someone coming outside, the little raccoon gradually stopped playing, raised his furry head, and greeted the magical girls: "Hey, are you back? You've worked hard, girls?"

As soon as it opened its mouth, the strange atmosphere at the scene was shattered. Because it had the appearance of a little raccoon, but it had a strong male voice, even a little hoarse. Its tone also revealed a cynical temperament and a sense of rhythm, as if it was singing rap.

Before Bai Ji and the others could respond, it turned its attention to Kuizi: "Who is this big shot? Can you take her home? Have you dealt with the remaining beasts? Have you found the lantern?"

"Polly!"

Bai Ji dragged out his voice somewhat helplessly: "Stop singing your rap, this is the inspector from the Investigation Institute!"

"Cool, baby, you told me this girl was a patrol..."

The little raccoon had only finished half of his rhythmic words when he suddenly realized the meaning of White Thistle's words. He paused and carefully sensed the magic of the Delphinium. His furry face showed a human-like look of infatuation, then he cleared his throat twice and pretended nothing had happened before speaking again: "Oh, my apologies, Inspector."

The Inspectors of the Investigation Institute are usually dispatched for special projects. During the investigation, they have the right to mobilize all national forces at the scene of the crime, which naturally includes the Sowers and Magical Girls.

Although the hard indicator for the Patrolman is Hana-ka, and no magical girl who can sit in this position would be bored enough to cause trouble for the fairies, it does not prevent the Sowers from generally treating them with respect.

In contrast, the higher-ups of the Magical Court, who are also the people in power among the magical girls, are often the targets of the Sowers' secret and sarcastic attacks.

"Well, I don't mind how you talk to me."

Delphinium saluted slightly with her eyelids drooped, and then said in a cold voice: "I just hope you can provide enough effective information."

"Oh fine."

Wiping the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, the little raccoon spoke in his announcer-like voice: "So what exactly do you want to ask?"

Delphinium went straight to the point and asked directly about her doubts.

The communication process went smoothly. Although the raccoon spoke in a funny way, his words were quite logical. After communicating with him, Delphinium quickly got some useful information and sorted out the whole process of the matter:

At first, ten days ago, the missing Cat Tail Team came to Baian City and found the local Strategy Bureau and Magical Girl Team, asking many questions. They had communicated with Dengzhan two days before they disappeared, and the content of the communication was "something unusual in Baian City recently."

After that, about a week ago, the Cat Tail Squad suddenly disappeared one day, and the last place they were seen was in the new city area of ​​Bai'an City.

Four days ago, when Cuiqiao received the notice from the Investigation Institute, and under the premise that the disappearance of the investigation team was a fait accompli, Dengzhan, as the captain of the local team in Baian City, decided to conduct an investigation first, hoping to collect enough information before the Investigation Institute arrived.

Three days ago, Dengzhan took the team members from Baian City to the local Strategy Bureau. The two sides cooperated and began to study the trajectory of Maowei before his final disappearance.

Two days ago, she told the three remaining team members that she had found a possible suspect.

Finally, yesterday, the lantern also disappeared.

Things had broken off again at this point, and all the arrows pointing to the truth were abruptly broken. This was undoubtedly a very worrying thing, even Delphinium frowned when she heard it, and it was no wonder that the magical girls of the Baian City team looked so anxious.

"If possible, I hope you, Inspector, can find the lamp as well."

After describing what happened, Little Raccoon said helplessly, "I clearly advised her not to act rashly, but she insisted that she was responsible for the disappearance of the investigation team, so she took the initiative to investigate. I didn't expect that now..."

"I will." Delphinium looked at the blonde girl beside her, turned around and promised.

Whether it was for public or private reasons, big or small, she had to solve this matter now. She didn't want her true self to continue to be inexplicably labeled as a bad person. To resolve this misunderstanding, the most effective way was to find the real culprit.

After getting the promise from such an important figure as the inspector, Polly the raccoon seemed to be a lot more relaxed. Having something to do, he started rapping in his broadcasting voice and flattering the inspector in a nonsensical way.

Of course, when it comes to flattery, it is much better than Moko.

Cuiqiao didn't say anything more. Her next task was clear enough: go to the Strategy Bureau to obtain the final intelligence, start an investigation, and find the missing Cat Tail Squad and Dengzhan as soon as possible.

In fact, if she hadn't met the magical girl team from Baian City on the way here, she should have gone to the Strategy Bureau to find out the situation.

It was just that because of the last-minute change of schedule, I came to the base of the magical girls, and it was a little late today. It was past the closing time of the Strategy Bureau, and it was probably too late to ask questions now.

After some thought, Delphinium decided to go the next day and take a rest tonight.

Although it is very important to find and rescue the missing magical girl, in the absence of sufficient information, it is more important to conserve your energy rather than running around like a headless fly.

After asking Raccoon to convey to the Strategy Bureau that he would be questioning them the next day, and leaving his contact information with several local magical girls, Delphinium did not continue to stay in their base and returned to the hotel he had originally booked.

After a day's journey and a series of troubles caused by misunderstandings, Lin Yun was extremely tired and exhausted. After a simple wash, he lay down on the bed in the hotel and fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, he went out again in the form of Delphinium.

In order to avoid the possible morning rush hour, she did not take a bus as she did when she first came to Bai'an City, but flew directly to her destination.

She had already figured out the location of the Strategy Bureau, and the location of the Strategy Bureau - the Music Park looked conspicuous enough from the air, so she didn't have to worry about flying over it. After checking the map, she went straight to her destination in the new city.

After landing at the Music Park, she found an exhibition hall in the park that was dedicated to local music masters. According to the information previously provided by the Investigation Institute, one of the entrances was here.

Following closely in the crowd a single man who had evaded ticket and entered the exhibition hall, she strode along the predetermined route and finally found the entrance at a security passage: a rather secret security passage.

Unlike other safe passages in the exhibition hall, this passage has an additional staircase leading to the underground. Taking small steps, she walked along the enclosed staircase to the third underground floor, and a metal door with a combination lock appeared in front of Delphinium.

Cuiqiao knew that this was the road leading to the Baian City Strategy Bureau.

She already knew the password in advance and was not stopped by the question. She entered a string of numbers skillfully and the metal door opened.

What appeared before her was a bright yet deep passage.

The entire passage was a neat white color, with clean walls and bright lights. There was basically no dust or garbage on the ground, and it was obvious that someone cleaned it regularly.

In order to facilitate the travel of the staff of the Special Strategy Bureau, the underground areas around the Special Strategy Bureau in Bai'an City are all filled with overlapping and interlaced underground passages, connecting nearly double-digit entrances and exits in the surrounding area, ensuring that the flow of people at each entrance can be controlled at a certain scale, thereby achieving the purpose of concealment.

Maintaining the secrecy and security of these passages is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task, but now it seems that they even have the energy to keep the passages clean, which is enough to make Delphinium look up to their strength.

As a result, I also have more expectations for what I will gain from this trip.

Walking along the white passage, at the end of the road, Cuiqiao saw a glass gate with a built-in sensing system. After passing through the gate, it was the hall of the Strategy Bureau.

Delphinium controlled her desire to look around, and walked into the hall while trying to behave more steadily.

However, as soon as she stepped into this space, she found that she was doing useless work.

Because there was no one in this hall.

The hall was brightly lit, as bright as day, and you couldn't feel it was underground at all. The only problem was that it was too quiet when no one was around, so quiet that you could faintly hear the sound of electricity.

Why is there no one?

Delphinium felt somewhat confused.

After all, it was already working hours, and even the Fangting City's Strategy Bureau should have entered its daily operations. How could the Bai'an City Strategy Bureau, with its scale and strength, have such a mistake?

Meeting? Or training?

With some guesses in mind, Cuiqiao did not stay there any longer, but walked through the hall and headed towards the Strategy Bureau: What is going on? Just find an office with people and ask.

However, what made her feel even more strange was that there was no one in the offices along the way either.

Not only that, the furnishings in these offices are very messy, with various documents spread everywhere and computers turned on, as if someone had worked in them not long ago.

It was as if all the employees here suddenly disappeared.

For some reason, Delphinium had this strange association in her mind.

The doubts in her heart grew more and more serious. She continued to move towards the interior of the Strategy Bureau. She felt that the interior of the Strategy Bureau in Bai'an City was incredibly large. After walking for nearly hundreds of meters, she still hadn't reached the end of this level.

Fortunately, after walking so far, she seemed to hear some noise.

It sounded like something wet was hitting the ground, making the sound of liquid and solid colliding and stirring, as if someone was mopping the floor.

The source of the sound was an office with a half-open door. A bright white light shone through the crack in the door. Obviously, someone was moving around in the office.

When she got here, Delphinium was already full of doubts, so she didn't hesitate and pushed open the door with a frown.

Then, she froze on the spot.

——The whole office was dyed red, as if it had been splashed with red paint, but it was not paint, but blood.

Just at the moment when the door was opened, the strong smell of blood hit Delphinium's face.

All kinds of broken, unrecognizable body parts were scattered everywhere. The whole room was like a huge slaughterhouse, even bloodier than an ordinary slaughterhouse.

In such a bloody scene, there would naturally be no living people left.

The only surviving individual cannot be called a human being, but is actually a crippled beast.

It was a crippled beast that looked about two or three meters tall. It was squatting in the middle of the office, grabbing a motionless employee of the Strategy Bureau and eating leisurely with its sharp teeth.

The mopping sound that Delphinium heard before was not actually mopping the floor. It was the sound of it dragging a corpse, and... chewing.

I fell asleep while writing the update last night. I am very sorry, very sorry (bows). From now on, no matter if I drink coffee or Red Bull, I will finish the update before going to bed. There won’t be a next time.

The reader group was gone last night because someone verified it. For the sake of personal account security (the group owner will be held accountable), it may take some time to open it again. We will notify you separately at that time. Please be patient.

Chapter 117 Hall

2023-04-30

Almost at the same time that the delphinium discovered the remaining beast, the remaining beast that was eating also discovered the delphinium.

The two looked at each other briefly, and the crippled beast suddenly dropped the corpse in his hand, jumped up from the desk, and leaped straight to the delphinium at the door.

"Roar!"

Delphinium's face was slightly cold, and a magic wand appeared between her opening and closing palms. Just as the crippled beast rushed in front of her, she pulled hard on its head.

Bang! Bang!

The magic wand exerted force and smashed the crippled beast heavily to the ground.

The knocked-down beast immediately struggled to get up, and kept making demonstrative roars, but Delphinium did not give it a chance to regroup. It turned its wand towards its head and fired a burst of magic beams, directly turning its head into a pool of ashes.

After dealing with the crippled beast, she quickly flew to the body that had been left behind, examined it, and discovered that the unfortunate employee of the Strategy Bureau had indeed lost his life.

The crippled beast that appeared in the office was not very powerful, probably only at the egg level. However, to ordinary people, and even magicians, it was a monster like a natural disaster. No wonder it could cause such a tragic scene.

Except for the one employee whose body was still intact, the rest of the victims could not even be pieced together into a complete body, which shows just how brutal the brutal beast was.

After searching the office for a while and failing to find any useful information, Delphinium had no choice but to go back to the door and open her palms towards the remaining animal limbs on the ground, trying to recover the echo of the remaining animal.

However, following Delphinium's attempt, the remains of the beast dissipated into a wisp of black smoke right before her eyes, leaving nothing behind.

This is a remnant beast without response.

It took Delphinium a few seconds to allow herself to comprehend this fact, but even after seeing it with her own eyes, she still found it hard to believe it was real.

Based on her past knowledge and understanding, it was impossible for such a brutal beast to exist.

A crippled beast without resonance is almost equivalent to having no source of magic power of its own. As a pure magical creature, a crippled beast without a source of magic power is fundamentally impossible to survive.

The source of magic power to the remnant beast is like the heart to humans. Humans without hearts cannot sustain their lives, so how can a remnant beast without a source of magic power exist? Even more, can it still hunt and fight with itself like it did just now?

Delphinium couldn't understand.
