Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 120 Joint Attack
"Wait, what did you say?"

Delphinium frowned and interrupted the lamp: "People are feeding beasts? Are you kidding me?"

"I'm not joking at a time like this."

Dengzhan emphasized with a serious expression: "But if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'm afraid I wouldn't believe it."

"Humans who feed the beasts..."

Chewing on the information given by the lamp, Delphinium thought for a while, realized another blind spot in the information, and suddenly raised his head and asked, "What is he feeding with?"

No one answered her question.

Lantern just shook his head and didn't speak.

However, delphinium already had a guess about this in her heart, even if the lamp didn't say anything, she could guess a general idea, so she said in a deep voice, "Is it a person?"

"...Mmm." There was some weakness in Deng Lan's voice, "I failed to save them."

Delphinium's expression became icy cold.

Her fingertips jumped slightly and subconsciously retracted, as if she was about to make a fist, but after a little hesitation, she did not make this movement after all.

For a split second, she almost let the words "how dare they" come out of her mouth.But the one in front of her is not the enemy, but the companion who was injured in the battle, so there is no need for her to show her anger in front of her companion.

Ruthlessness and anger, those are things reserved for the enemy.This group called Black Ember Dawn left an extremely bad impression on her heart.

Remnant beasts are a disaster for human beings and enemies of magical girls. Every human being living in the material world will have, more or less, direct or indirect encounters with remnant beasts in their lives.

To a lesser extent, it is to see reports of beast attacks from various places on the Internet; to a lesser degree, people you know may have died from the attacks of beasts; there are also cases where you live and live have been destroyed by beasts; even more What's more, he himself is the victim of the beast's claws.

Growing up in such an environment, no matter whether a person is an ordinary person or a magician, he should not have the slightest identification with the remnant beast.

But this group of people who call themselves Black Ember Dawn breaks through this bottom line again and again, making delphinium more and more embarrassing.

Trying to calm down the turbulent emotions at that moment, delphinium calmed down her tone again, and then asked the lamp: "So you just hit it up?"

"So I just typed it up." Dengzhan admitted honestly.

"You are injured, so what about the enemy?"

"At the beginning, I still caused heavy damage to that crippled beast, but after that man came out..." Dengzhan shrugged helplessly.

Obviously, she herself is not satisfied with the result.

"What about the employees of the Foreign Policy Bureau that you met in the nest before, have you arranged them?" Delphinium then asked.

"I originally planned to help them leave after the remnant beasts were dealt with, but I didn't win the battle, so naturally there was nothing to do."

Lantern smiled embarrassedly: "So, they should still be hiding somewhere now, right?"

Her answer made Delphinium think for no reason of the office she encountered when she came here, which was smeared with blood.

This is not the Bureau of Different Strategies, it's just a lair of remnant beasts, she already knows this.So the offices here are all empty, and there should be no living people in them.

Thinking about it this way, the victims in that office are obviously ordinary people from the outside world, and it is even very possible...they are the people Dengzhan said.

"What's wrong?"

Delphinium's silence caught Lantern's attention.

"It's nothing."

Delphinium shook her head, not intending to reveal the truth to the lamp, but to gently expose it.

She didn't become more righteous and indignant because she realized this fact, on the contrary, she became a little calmer, because at this moment, in her heart, the instigator of this incident was already an unforgivable person who must be killed.

Tightening the golden robe behind her back, Delphinium asked the lamp, "Can you still find the center of the nest?"

"Now? Although I didn't record the route when I escaped there, it should be no problem to use my magic outfit to find it..."

Lantern blinked: "Master Inspector, are you planning to go?"

"For me, of course, the sooner the better."

Delphinium said so, and stood up: "How is your injury? Do you want me to move you to a safer position?"

"If there is magic power, there is no problem."

Dengzhan moved his body for a while, supported the wall and slowly raised himself up: "As for the battle, my true self has not suffered too much damage, dealing with the pupa-level remnant beast..."

"If it's just a chrysalis, just leave it to me."

Delphinium held onto Lantern's arm and supported her up: "Take me now, it's time to solve the problem here."

Being supported by the delphinium, he walked two steps forward. Hearing what he said, the lamp was slightly stunned, and then said with some emotion: "Senior delphinium, although it looks very small, but the words it said are very small. It's reassuring."

"When you praise others, you have to mention your shortcomings by the way, but you can't make others happy."

Delphinium said expressionlessly: "Or do you mean to emphasize that I'm short and it's uncomfortable to hold you up, and the last half of the sentence is to cover yourself?"

"No, no, you think too badly of me."

Lantern waved his hands to defend: "I just thought of an acquaintance of mine when I heard you say 'Leave it to me', and I felt it. It's probably because she is also in the investigation institute, and I feel that you said this When talking, it can really subtly give people a trustworthy temperament."

"Really?" Delphinium raised her brows, but after all, she didn't continue the topic, and just accepted Lantern's explanation.

The topic involved the investigation institute, and she actually had nothing to say. After all, her position of "inspector" could be said to be empty, and she had no real contacts in the investigation institute.

The delphinium didn't want to talk more, so the lamp tacitly ended the topic, and the two stopped gossiping, and just walked towards the center of the nest.

Under normal circumstances, if delphiniums are allowed to use spells combined with perception to explore the route, the process will be quite long, especially since the space they are in now is beyond imagination, and it is more complicated than those nests that delphiniums have experienced in the past.

However, with the magic outfit of the lamp, the process became quite easy.

The magical costume of the lamp is shaped like a lantern.According to her own statement, when she uses her own lantern, marks related to magic power will appear in her vision, which can show traces of magic power activity in the corresponding area within a day.

In addition, if she has marked the magical characteristics of a certain target, she can clearly perceive the target's location within a certain range.

When she came, she marked the suspicious man in this way, so that she could trace to the core of the lair.And after fighting with the other party, she even marked the pupa-level remnant beast.

In other words, she now seems to have a compass in her hands, and the direction she points to is the center of the lair.

With such assistance, the two of them found the lair master without spending much effort.

It was a huge lair that seemed out of place with the surrounding area.

Different from the "First Floor of the Different Strategy Bureau" that the delphiniums had seen countless times on the way, although this space still maintains the decoration style similar to that of the Different Strategy Bureau, with white lights and silver-white walls, but carefully Looking at the past, you will find that its interior furnishings completely violate people's common sense.

A table placed on the wall; a filing cabinet entangled into a triangle; a door bent into an irregular shape... A distorted scene like a dream appeared in front of the two of them.

In fact, this also exposes the nature of the beast—the monster cannot understand the role of human beings in the design of tools.

But in such a distorted space, there was an even more distorted thing, which completely took away the attention of the two magical girls, leaving them with no time to care about others.

It was a remnant beast that looked like a spider, crawling on top of the giant net that covered the entire lair, gnawing at something.

There are several huge holes on the body of the remnant beast, and blood is still bubbling out, obviously this is the "heavy injury" that Dengzhan said before.It's just that its state doesn't seem to be sluggish, and it still retains the vitality of eating.

The spider web under it was completely made of flesh and blood, and it looked extremely hideous. The scarlet web spread throughout the space, and a stench could be smelled from afar.

And under the huge spider web of flesh and blood, there are several meters high sarcoma hanging there, motionless.

If you don't pay attention, you will feel that these sarcomas don't seem to be anything special, they are just derivative parts of the flesh and blood spider web.But when the delphinium observed carefully, it found that these tumors were not solid, but more like cocoons wrapped in something. Under the blazing light in the nest, there were vague shadows from them.

If you look more closely, you will find that the outlines of these shadows seem to be very human-like.

"Those are the victims he captured. Inside the sarcoma are all the people he 'fed' to the beast."

Lantern followed her and said in a low voice: "Although I don't know what method he used, the pupa-level beast behaved very calmly in front of that man, without any signs of rioting, and accepted it very honestly. His 'feeding'."

"And those who were 'fed' out were all packed into that kind of sarcoma. I don't know what will happen after being put in, but the high probability is..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but she didn't need to. The consequences of being caught by the beast were self-evident.

Delphinium frowned.

She felt nauseous just seeing the sight in front of her.

Cruel beasts destroying cities and killing humans will not make her feel so disgusted.After all, the essence of disabled beasts is monsters who only know how to follow their instincts, and they don't have any ethical burden when they do evil.

However, the nature of the fact that human beings and remnant beasts collude with each other is completely different.

Muting one's own compatriots, and even giving one's own compatriots as bait to the beasts, this kind of behavior is that even the word "contemptuous" cannot describe the delphinium's mood.

She thinks she has seen too much "evil", but there is always someone who can break through the lower limit of her cognition and show an even uglier face.

What kind of person could do such a thing?

She couldn't understand it at all.

And the person who made her feel incomprehensible was also in this lair at this time.

Under the sarcoma covered with fleshy spider webs, there was a humanoid figure standing there, looking up at the remnant beasts on the spider webs above.

The figure held an instrument of unknown purpose in his hand, and while observing the remnant beast, he was adjusting something on the instrument with his hands.

"That's the man, do you want to do it?"

Seeing that Delphinium also saw the figure, Deng Lan asked, "But senior Delphinium, you may have to be careful, he is very strong."

"Do it." Delphinium said without any hesitation.

Even if she didn't look at the disgusting scene under the flesh and blood spider web, she already had the determination to fight.

After finally reaching the core of the lair and seeing the enemy, there was no reason to back down.

The two magical girls had a brief discussion and decided to attack together: the lantern feinted to attract the opponent's attention from the surface, while Delphinium took the opportunity to make a surprise attack to see if it could hit the opponent hard in one fell swoop.

Azure blue and dark brown, two magic power tracks flashed above the lair, the blue color disappeared immediately, and the dark brown magic power track chased straight at the man on the ground.

The man operating the instrument was dressed in a black robe. He was concentrating on observing the remnant beast above his head, but the warning that rose in his heart made him lower his head suddenly, and then stretched out his hand. The purple-black magic power was wrapped around his hand, blocking it. in front of oneself.

boom!
The purple-black magic power formed a magic barrier, blocking the attack from the lamp.

"How dare you come back?"

After seeing the lamp in front of him and recognizing the person who attacked him, the man was slightly surprised, but only at the level of "slightly surprised": "I thought you would at least find someone after you escaped." A place to hide for a while, I didn’t expect to rush back so soon to die.”

But the lamp didn't say a word. While shooting a few magic beams casually, several Fawo runes flickered in his hand. Immediately afterwards, the rune culture made a spear and nailed it straight at the man.

As a Lei-level magical girl, Dengzhan is very proficient in mastering spells, and because her magic costume ability is more of an auxiliary nature, the spells she uses are mostly powerful attacks.

Faced with Dengzhan's stormy attack, the man raised the corners of his mouth in a mocking manner, obviously he had a way to deal with it in his heart, and he didn't take it seriously.

Just as he showed.In an instant, the barrier in front of him changed suddenly, turning into a spell that swallowed the lamp backwards with a huge mouth, and those spears were only supported in his hands for a few seconds before they were re-disintegrated into several pools of undead. magic.

And just when he was complacent and felt that he had responded wonderfully enough, and wanted to ridicule something, he felt a chill coming from behind him.

——"Masterpiece, No. [-], Kopis of Slashing and Slashing."

Without giving him any time to react, a dagger made of magic power pierced his back, and the magic power surged, piercing through all his defenses, and then, penetrating from his back, from the The chest came out.
