Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　The policeman said this, and it wasn't far from the truth... at least the first part of his statement was true—Xiao Cui was indeed a reserve officer.

　"And this one..."

　The policeman pointed at Cong Yu, his face radiating confidence: "He's the King of Fengdu..."

　Cong Yu: “?”

　……

　"The student who was reformed..."

　Are you speaking in such a breathy manner?!

　Wait... why would a lowly policeman know about something like this?

　"..." Not only Cong Yu, but Lan Tianzhu was also puzzled by this, and even the policeman's companion looked at him with a confused expression.

　"What do you mean by 'King of the Wind' renovation... what are you talking about?"

　Because the existence of Murasame is information that only those connected to the Magical Girl Association headquarters can know.

　"Hmph, because my name is Jin Hai Zheng Yi, I know that someone introduced related matters at the Jin Hai family's previous clan meeting."

　As the policeman spoke, he proudly rubbed his nose with his fingers, his face beaming with pride: "They even warned us not to tell anyone, or we'd be expelled from the family."

　Cong Yu: "..."

　Yao Chuanguang: "..."

　Blue Sky Nagisa: "..."

　Xiao Cui: "..."

　Police colleague: "..."

　……

　Even members of the four great families can lose their minds after seeing their idols in person... It's really unfortunate that the Jin Hai family has such a member.

　Therefore, idol culture is truly harmful.

　Chapter 212 The Ghost Story Was Actually Fake (Disappointed)

　Something's off.

　The moment Cong Yu and his group entered the library, he and the three magical girls could clearly sense that something was amiss.

　Although it's evening, the light outside shouldn't be this dark... The afterglow of the setting sun has disappeared.

　I don't know if it was because the sky was covered by clouds or if there was a problem with the library's lighting design, but even though the sun was still shining outside, only a dim sliver of light shone from the window onto the table.

　The rest of the space, whether bookshelves or aisles, seemed to stretch into endless darkness, merging into the shadows.

　To be honest, it is a bit scary.

　However, Yaochuan Guang and his group didn't seem very afraid... or rather, most of them didn't seem very afraid.

　After all, she is the king of magical girls and monsters.

　To be honest, for most people, Cong Yu himself is more terrifying than a billion ghost stories or a billion serial killers... much more horrifying!!

　"Let me see, the encyclopedia says..."

　Yao Chuan Guang, holding the frightened Lan Tian Zhu and leading the bouncy Xiao Cui, casually read the encyclopedia on his phone: "In the library, on the fourth shelf in the fourth row and fourth column, the fourth book in the fourth row from the top is a forbidden book that can summon ghosts."

　As Yaochuan Guang spoke, a tree stood outside the window, its shadow swaying in the breeze.

　Then it slapped against the window with a "thud".

　Lan Tianzhu trembled with fright, but quickly realized it was just a shadow of a tree, so he didn't scream. But...

　"Shake, shake, shake—"

　"..."

　"Little Blue...stop shaking."

　As Yaochuan Guang said this, she sighed slightly, reached out and rubbed Lan Tianzhu's face, saying, "Lan, we are magical girls."

　The underlying meaning of this statement is something like, "We are magical girls, we shouldn't be afraid of ghosts."

　However, Nagisa Azuma's expression remained calm, and she immediately retorted, "Even magical girls shouldn't be afraid of cockroaches."

　Yao Chuanguang: "..."

　Yaochuan Guang couldn't refute this, but the problem was...

　"But you're afraid of cockroaches..."

　In response to Yaochuan Guang's words, Lantian Zhu stretched out his finger again and gestured: "I'm only a little bit scared."

　Yes, just like her "slight fear" of ghosts.

　"..." No one could speak.

　It can only be said that Nagisa Azuma, as a magical girl, unexpectedly fits the latter two words of "magical girl" in this respect.

　That's probably what a girl is like.

　"Sister Blue Sky, you're such a wimp—"

　Xiao Cui sighed, while Cong Yu had already found the fourth book in the fourth row and fourth column: "Let me see, the fourth book, right?"

　As she said this, Cong Yu pulled the book out of the bookshelf.

　The movements were casual and nonchalant...

　"Congyu-chan!"

　"Cong Yu!"

　"Brother Cong Yu!"

　The three magical girls shouted almost at the same time... Why did Congyu just reach out and touch it?

　Although Hikaru and Misaki are not afraid, it is because they are magical girls, whose bodies are naturally terrifyingly strong.

　But what if something unexpected happens to Cong Yu, an ordinary person?

　"Ok?"

　Cong Yu responded casually, and under the three people's worried gazes, she looked up at them and then realized why they were worried.

　"Ah, about that? Don't worry... Our school library usually gets a lot of students who skip class coming back during the day."

　Cong Yu said this, simply taking the book and sitting down at the table beside him: "Moreover,

　Every year, the librarian airs out the books... If touching them would have any effect, then the librarian would have been in trouble long ago.

　This isn't some deserted library. So Cong Yu initially thought the possibility of this ghost story was very low.

　Moreover, even if there are any problems...

　Even if some ghost were to possess Cong Yu, and even if it succeeded... that ghost would not be able to control Cong Yu's body.

　Cong Yu's body is difficult to use, that much is certain.

　"Is that so? That's great."

　Lantian Zhu felt a little relieved... whether it was because of Cong Yu's safety or because of the reduced authenticity of the ghost stories.

　The three of them then gathered around, ready to see what the book was all about.

　People guessed it was either a scary nursery rhyme, a ghost story, or a collection of folk horror stories.

　Then, what came into their view was—

　yes!!!

　……

　The Source of Technology: From Fundamental Physics to Quantum Computing

　Author: Professor Tapani Lindsay

　Publication date: July 16, 1985...

　"Um……"

　Cong Yu hesitated for a moment, then opened the table of contents and introduction—

　"The Source of Science and Technology" is a series of popular science books about the development of science and technology, aiming to provide a comprehensive overview of the development of science and technology.

　Gibberish, gibberish—

　Volume One: The Mysteries of Physics

　Volume Two: The Information Revolution

　Volume 3: The Quantum Journey

　Volume 4: Technology Ethics and Future Prospects

　……

　"Did we pick up the wrong book?"

　As Cong Yu said this, she pushed the book aside and then tapped the bookshelf: "One, two, three, four... one, two, three, four... that's right, it's this one."

　Xiao Cui, meanwhile, was engrossed in reading the science book, replying, "So, ghost stories really are just fake, right?"

　Indeed, the possibility was very low from the very beginning.

　"I see, so it really is the same as the Sherlock Holmes stories?"

　Yao Chuan Guang analyzed, then pulled out a detective hat from somewhere and put it on his head: "Actually, there is a murderer who disguises himself as a ghost story to commit murder!"

　Stop messing around with your Sherlock Holmes stuff.

　They may have good observation skills, but their intelligence is definitely lacking... This kind of person is not good at solving cases.

　Otherwise, you would sniff around and then make a judgment; something like, "I don't think he's a bad person."

　Golden Retrievers are like that.

　Cong Yu felt somewhat helpless, then looked at Lan Tianzhu, who had become relieved and serious after confirming that it was not a ghost story.

　Very well, it seems we'll have to rely on Lan Tianzhu. Her intelligence seems to have returned to its peak. Let's see what she's up to...

　Beautiful! I borrowed Yaochuan Guang's magnifying glass and started looking for clues everywhere.

　"Ugh……"

　Cong Yu couldn't help but sigh. He rubbed the bridge of his nose and said, "Stop playing around. Can't you just use your magic properly?"

　Upon hearing Cong Yu's words, Yao Chuanguang turned his head and smiled sheepishly, then scratched his head: "How do I use it?"

　What? So you weren't just playing around, you really don't know how.

　Under everyone's watchful eyes, Hikaru Yokawa looked at Nagisa Aoi. And Nagisa Aoi, as a veteran magical girl, finally did not disappoint everyone.

　In an instant, a deep blue glow emanated from her body and then enveloped the entire library.

　"Oh, a barrier... no, something similar."

　As he spoke softly, Lan Tianzhu narrowed his eyes, and the azure magic that enveloped and spread instantly ignited at several points.

　It transformed into a beautiful, dark blue flame.

　"Boom——"

　With the sound of flames rising, the air distorted rapidly, and then...

　"Touch! Touch! Touch!"

　One after another, sounds like shattering glass... At the same time, the surrounding visual space shattered like a mirror.

　The darkness and shadows inside the library quickly faded, replaced by the beautiful sunset and light outside the window.

　"Sister Blue Sky, what is this?"

　Xiao Cui said with a puzzled look, slamming the book she was holding onto the table.

　"..." In response, Lan Tianzhu simply withdrew his magic and replied calmly, "I don't know why a scare stunt exists."

　"..." Well, it's less about scaring people and more about blocking out the light.

　Cong Yu made this judgment.
