Rebecca's voice also made Sha Hongyi instinctively recall the scene at that time, and he muttered subconsciously.
"It does look okay. I can't see the words clearly because it's Kuwa, but it looks like purple. No, we were both in a life-or-death situation at the time. How could we care about this!"
Even Duncan's eyes showed a hint of reproach as he spoke up to remind him.
"Rebecca, don't take the joke too far."
"I know, I know. Just teasing the young people."
Rebecca said this in a light-hearted tone, but she still took Duncan's words into account, making her attitude slightly more serious.
"Well done! You've only been in office for a short time, and you've managed to stay calm and hold on. That's pretty impressive."
"It's just that in the end, we couldn't completely resolve it, and we received some help from Xingzhu City."
Sha Hongyi sighed, while Duncan shook his head slightly.
"It's good enough to be able to come back, after all, there are some responsible people."
"While you were receiving treatment at Xiaosha International Airport, we received news that another person in charge had died."
Rebecca took over Duncan's words and explained to him.
"Including the two from yesterday, three have now been officially confirmed dead. This time, the Fallen Daughters are very powerful. Originally insignificant and undisciplined, they now have the support of the Broken Star Palace, and their behavior is becoming increasingly rampant."
“That’s not good news.”
Sha Hongyi's expression also became more solemn. As a young person with relatively little experience, he felt more sad and uneasy about the passing of these predecessors.
Following this bad news, the conference room fell into a brief silence.
However, nearly a minute later, Duncan's words were heard again.
"Come to think of it, you should have met Ji Hui before, right? How was it?"
"Can I not say it?"
Recalling his own miserable appearance, Sha Hongyi's face showed a dark expression of wanting to die.
He now felt that it might be easier for him to just head straight for the Broken Star Palace's base camp and self-destruct.
"I feel like my integrity and dignity have been shattered to pieces."
“I didn’t ask you that…”
Duncan, who also understood his situation, closed his eyes, unwilling to recall the unbearable experience on the plane.
"I'm asking about your judgment as the district chief."
“Oh, about that.”
After thinking for a while, Sha Hongyi slowly spoke.
"Honestly, it's hard to judge, but overall it's moving in a positive direction, excluding the fact that he's picking on my subordinates who I disagree with as if it were revenge."
"However, considering his previous situation and the reports from my subordinates about the attack they suffered last night, it's not hard to understand."
"However, I don't think that's the problem. His personal attitude can't determine whether he can truly be unaffected by the Broken Star Palace. Even if I'm inclined to support him, it's hard to guarantee that he won't be used as a ticking time bomb without realizing it, so I still reserve my opinion on this."
“I see. I understand.”
Duncan nodded slightly and handed Sha Hongyi a wet towel, indicating that he should wipe his face.
"By the way, it seems like Ophelia is with them. Is that really okay?"
Sha Hongyi, feeling much more refreshed, took a long breath and asked curiously.
"Who among us do you think has the qualifications to carelessly manage this ancestor-like being?"
However, Duncan's counter-question made him suddenly wilted.
"Well, forget it. If anything really happens, no one is more reliable than her."
"Are they still at the beach?"
Rebecca also became interested and asked curiously, causing Duncan to glance at his equipment and shake his head slightly.
"No, not really. According to the report submitted by my people, they are now heading towards the memorial. It should be Ophelia's suggestion. She seems to be traveling with us."
"Memorial Hall"
After hearing where they were going, Rebecca couldn't help but sigh, with a hint of emotion in her tone.
"In a few days, a few more names will be put up."
In just two or three seconds, she regained her original relaxed attitude.
"Forget it, let's not think about it. Xiaosha, you came at the right time. Here, this is your share. Don't even think about being lazy."
Looking at the large amount of documents she submitted, which was twice as much as expected, Sha Hongyi's eyes widened and he shouted in astonishment.
"Are you kidding me? Why is there so much? Did you sneak your part in here?!"
"As a young person, it's important to do more and gain more experience."
Chapter 404 Invisible Tombstone
"I also know about what happened yesterday, but it ended quickly, so I didn't go there directly."
After the external attack was resolved, Ophelia returned and greeted several people. Since they were going the same way, she got in their car.
"It seems that there are indeed many people in the Dark Mace Garden who are only bent on revenge. I hope those in charge can carefully consider the next arrangements."
Ophelia's voice made Ji Hui, who was looking at the passing scenery outside the window, turn his head and ask curiously.
"By the way, do you have a place to live in Starfall City?"
"Yes, but I rarely live here. This time I came back for a few days because of some important matters."
Ophelia nodded, arousing their curiosity.
"So what's the big deal? Why does it even require the intervention of the strongest magical girl like you?"
"Sweeping graves."
Her calm words also made the entire car quiet for several seconds.
"Uh....sorry."
The embarrassment and slight guilt that emerged from his heart made Ji Hui speak apologetically.
"It's okay. I'm used to it. It's just a routine."
Ophelia shook her head gently, and Zhu Yiyi, sensing the depressing atmosphere, quickly tried to change the subject to ease the depressing situation.
"Speaking of which, Ji Hui, you guys should be able to see a lot of interesting things by then. After all, there are a lot of useful equipment and buildings in the memorial hall."
"Don't hold onto that dull, old-fashioned impression. Even without mentioning the knowledge stored in the Starfall City Memorial Hall, there are many areas that incorporate our latest technologies."
"Hmm, maybe there's a motion picture theater or something like that in there?"
Her words made Ji Hui rub his chin slightly.
I always feel that according to what they said, it will feel more like a theme park.
But after all, this is an office area, it shouldn't be like a real amusement park, it should be more serious.
It's a bit strange for a demon from outside the domain to visit the Dark Mace Garden and the history of the magical girl's rise.
Of course, although he thought so, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw the large spire-shaped building that became open along the road and looked flat and solemn.
The spire looks a bit like a medieval castle, except that the structure above is made entirely of alloy.
Furthermore, blue energy arced continuously from the tip like a lightning rod, spreading across the top of the building, causing the semicircular barrier to expand outwards.
Although the area in contact with the ground has become so thin that it is almost transparent, the barrier surrounding the entire memorial hall still clearly demarcates the boundaries, and together with the angular streets, it forms an invisible boundary. When the people on the vehicle pass through the barrier, they can't help but feel a sense of awe, as if their mentality has changed.
"Because of the constant archiving and recording here, it has been repaired many times, so the traces are relatively more obvious."
Sean explained to them as he turned the car into the parking lot.
"This is also our temporary refuge in case of a crisis. It also integrates the function of being separated from the entire island. Therefore, you can see that there are many backup buildings around the memorial. It can be regarded as a second base that can be used at any time."
No wonder the surrounding areas are connected by bridges.
4Ji Hui thought thoughtfully, and the car had stopped, allowing him to get out with Yuzen Chizuru and others.
"No, wait a minute."
However, Mi Lulu seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and a look of confusion appeared on her face.
"Ophelia, you said you were here to visit the graves, but this is a memorial hall."
His words also made everyone else look at Ophelia, who had transformed into a magical girl.
"No, right here."
However, Ophelia just replied calmly, and then gestured for the others to follow her.
Seeing that she was heading towards the large square in front of the main entrance of the memorial hall, Ji Hui seemed to understand something and a confused look appeared on his face.
Including other people, they all more or less realized the meaning of tomb sweeping she mentioned, and the expressions on their faces became a little heavier.
"You can go in first."
Ophelia spoke, but after seeing that they did not seem to intend to accept this suggestion, she did not dissuade them anymore. She just slowly half-knelt down, and a faint light slowly emanated from her hands.
Their actions also made some magical girls who were staying in the square look at them in confusion.
After all, they were neither in front of the main entrance nor in front of the huge sculpture in the center, but in a position that seemed to be off-center, on the left half of the square, and even more distorted.
No one would stay there, and even the public benches on the edge of the square were much more meaningful than just a piece of covered ground.
But the magical girl who seemed to be unreasonably strong, had a solemn and dignified expression, and used the magic power emanating from her hands to penetrate into the ground bit by bit, as if she was nourishing something.
"Would you mind telling us?"
Looking at Ophelia with reminiscence in her eyes, Ji Hui slowly asked.
After a few seconds of silence, Ophelia gently stroked the flat ground and narrated the story bit by bit.
"During that war, this was a relatively peaceful area, as most of the extraterritorial demons were fighting the magical girls head-on in the west area, and only a small number of fallen demons remained here." Search
"Including us, we didn't care about this place, so we didn't even care about it. We just moved towards more dangerous places, and this place was handed over to a few young magical girls and the members of the Dark Mace Garden."
"That's why, when we finally realized that the pace of the Shattered Star Palace's invasion was starting to show signs of change, they had already begun to bypass our defenses, infiltrate the rear, and try to surround us." Wu
"If it weren't for the magical girl buried here who spent her life to buy a minute of time, this place would probably still be a scorched earth devoured by the Broken Star Palace until today." Qi
"Wasn't her body transported back?"
Funado Rika asked hesitantly, causing Ophelia to shake her head slightly.
She stood up, raised her palm and pointed around.
She wasn't pointing at anything specific, just at the air.
"Her body had completely collapsed. When we arrived, we could only see the magical radiance she emitted in her final moments."
"This is not where she was buried, and I can no longer find the exact location where they died." Scar
"This is just the checkpoint they once defended."
Chapter 405: Xingke Memorial Hall Dance
In the subsequent narration, Ji Hui and others basically knew what Ophelia did after they separated.
That is, in various places in the Starfall City, people commemorate those who died in the battle.
The streets, alleys, and even the flowers in the park, those places that only a few magical girls could remember, were all simply cast by her using magic as a brief tomb-sweeping ceremony.
Why not arrange some places to accommodate them and keep vigil for them?
After asking this question, Ophelia's answer was also very simple.
If you want to find a suitable place like this, the whole island would not be enough.
Therefore, including her, the surviving magical girls did not have any difficulties. They just remained alone, just like now, in the corners that they still remembered, and offered their thoughts and sadness, which were better than nothing, to the people in their memories.
It’s just that she remembers more people than other magical girls, so she needs to go to more places.
After finishing her own business, Ophelia didn't say much. She just took the lead and walked towards the memorial hall to avoid embarrassing Sean and others.
Sure enough, this kind of thing has become commonplace for her.
Looking at the other person's calm expression, Ji Hui was also thinking in his heart.
Although it seems a bit ruthless, who knows the weight attached to those processes that have been simplified to the point that they seem to have been experienced countless times?
