Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 124
"Spider" died, so suddenly that no one could react.

Previously, in order to thoroughly investigate the disappearance of the Cattail Squad, the Investigation Institute not only dispatched Delphinium, the patrol envoy, to the scene, but also sent two additional investigation teams.

These two new investigative teams set off from the Magic Kingdom, and because of the urgent task, they ran around day and night.Although these magical girls had tried their best to rush to Bo'an City as fast as they could, none of them expected that Delphinium, the inspector, would move so fast.

The man had just arrived in Bai'an City the day before, and found the location of the enemy's lair the next morning. That night, he and his lair were all eliminated, and at the same time, they rescued the target of this mission—the Cattail Squad.

This makes these magical girls both adore and lose: adoration is because delphinium's actions are very neat and handsome, using the fastest speed to find out the truth and deal with the enemy has always been the pursuit of the magical girls of the investigation institute; It's because they settled the matter before they arrived, which is equivalent to a waste of time.

This loss is combined with hatred of the enemy, and finally it becomes anger.

These later magic girls of the investigation institute carried out a carpet-like and devastating blow to the Black Ember Dawn forces remaining in Bai'an City.

With the death of the spider, the black ember dawn in Bo'an City turned into a beach of scattered sand without a leader.Losing the only leader, and not having enough strength to fight against the magical girls, it is natural that they will be defeated at the first touch, and they will be defeated.

At first, some evil believers who had mastered the ability to transform stubbornly resisted, trying to rely on the power of remnant beasts to escape from birth, but in the face of the encirclement and suppression of magical girls, they could not escape death and fell down one after another.After learning of the death of Spider and the others, the remaining members honestly chose to surrender—they had no way to counteract a group of angry magical girls.

This conspiracy that had been planned for several years in Bai'an City was finally broken, and it also caused a shock in the magic side of the entire Bai'an City.

Ordinary magicians have no way of knowing what the people of Black Ember Dawn have done, but it does not prevent them from knowing that there is an extremely dangerous beast that slaughtered so many lives in secret.There is no other reason why the incident has spread so widely, and it is because too many people have been implicated.

According to the follow-up incomplete statistics of the Bureau of Different Strategies, as many as 400 civilians died directly or indirectly in their lairs because of the plan of Spider and others.

This has also become the most serious large-scale remnant beast attack in Bai'an City in the past ten years. Even though this incident happened quietly and subtly, the impact is far greater than any remnant beast on the surface. Attacks are bad.

The reason why no one has noticed the abnormality is because these cases are all hidden in the daily large and small beast attacks.A large number of people who were attacked at the scene and fled in a hurry would be bewitched by the spider's ability, and would escape into the trap he prepared unconsciously, thus becoming the missing "victims".

No one knew that these people could not have died, and even when the Bureau of Different Strategies marked them as "killed", they were still dying in the lair of the beast.

With so many involvements and such a wide-ranging incident, it naturally made everyone in the magic side of Bo'an City feel insecure. For a while, most capable magicians chose to move to live in other places, just because it happened in The events here are simply too appalling.

And with the defeat of the spiders and the collapse of the nest, there were still very few survivors who survived.

Among these survivors, there are magical girls who were directly rescued by Delphinium, employees of the Different Strategy Bureau who strayed into this place, and few civilians.Civilians will receive corresponding comfort and compensation, and the surviving employees who have encountered this incident will receive a long paid vacation and comprehensive psychological treatment after completing relevant evidence collection work.

As for the magical girls of the investigation team headed by Maowei, they are not within the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Different Strategies.

They will be sent back to the country, and the country will start to try their treatment and rehabilitation.

And because they have been trapped in the lair for too long, and the magic power has been severely exhausted, the truth has been damaged... Whether these magical girls can return to the front line to participate in the battle is a question mark.

However, Maowei, who had been in a coma, woke up briefly once before being taken back to the Magic Kingdom by the follow-up investigators.

After learning that the people who saved her were Dengzhan and Delphinium, she dragged her very weak body to express her gratitude to them, and at the same time conveyed another message to Delphinium:
"Master Inspector... The incident in Bai'an City is just a small microcosm. Maybe their plan here has been thwarted, but please be careful. According to our previous investigation, there are at least four other cities where very abnormal things are happening. thing."

This also became the last words she left for Delphinium before returning to the kingdom.

She conveyed the investigation results before being trapped in Bai'an City to Delphinium in the most concise language, without mentioning the slightest handover process.The subtext is to transfer all these credits to Delphinium to express his gratitude.

Delphinium really wanted to say that she didn't need the other party to do this, but after Maowei said this, she passed out again, and she didn't know if it was because she was really out of energy, or because she simply didn't give Delphinium a chance to refute.

But in short, the most fundamental purpose of delphinium's trip has been achieved.Although the members of the investigation team were seriously injured, at least they were all rescued, and she had completed the task assigned by the investigation institute.

However, after completing this task, more doubts followed.

First of all, as Maowei said, there are several other cities that have similar weird phenomena to Bai'an City: a large number of people are inexplicably missing, various cases of beast attacks that violate the law, strange rumors...these clues all have Its reliable sources: Most of them are the results of field investigations by the investigation team, or reports from local magical girls.

Secondly, Delphinium discovered after the battle that after the spider died, there was an altar covered in flesh and blood under the spider's web.

She had seen this altar before—in the underground sewer of Fangting City.In the lair of the same remnant beast, and also in the central part after being defeated, she saw an altar with a very similar appearance.

What is the connection between the two?This got Delphinium lost in thought.

Finally, it was mentioned by Spider himself during the battle that he knew the name "Cornflower".

This is also the most puzzling thing during delphinium's trip.

When she was active as a magical girl when she was young, she did use the code name Cornflower to gain some fame, but is this kind of fame really remembered by people outside Fangting City 20 years later?
She didn't know, but she didn't think it was normal.

And since it feels abnormal, the solution is very simple: check.

A thorough investigation of this matter requires manpower, and the current Bai'an City happens to have it.After all, there are still a group of magical girls doing nothing.

These magical girls who came from the investigation institute were gearing up because they were late and missed the whole incident.After learning that there are several other cities that have similar phenomena to Bai'an City, they signed up enthusiastically and went to the scene to investigate.

There was also a small episode during this period.That is the "true murderer" that the local magical girl in Bai'an City, the blond magical girl code-named Mu Lily, kept saying.

In a misunderstanding, she mistakenly regarded Lin Yun as a villain. She had always believed that what she had found was the mastermind behind the scenes, but as the incident was revealed, her rhetoric became empty talk.

Because after the case was solved, as the culprit of the incident, the photo of the spider had been spread among the magic side, and naturally it also reached the hands of the magical girl team in Bai'an City. Obviously, the appearance of the spider was nothing like the person described by the blonde girl associated.

Although Mu Baihe's head is not very bright, her eyesight should be fine. Even she can find through the photos that she seems to have caught the wrong person.

Even if she kept yelling "I still have accomplices" and "I'm not mistaken", it was already taken as a joke by other teammates and people from the investigation institute.At the end of the trouble, in order to prove herself, she also wanted to sign up to participate in the investigation in other cities, claiming to go to other cities to "find someone to humiliate herself, and to avenge her shame."

The end of the matter was that she was taught a serious lesson by Deng Zhanyu, and she reluctantly chose to give up.

This little farce has come to an end.

As for Dengzhan himself, after a few days of recovery and self-cultivation, he has basically recovered, and there is no serious problem.

And as the second hero in this incident—although this credit was mainly for leading Delphinium—she also received the respect and gratitude of the magical girls of the Investigation Institute.

As a result of this kind of respect and gratitude, the small piano store called "Mingyin" run by Dengzhan became overcrowded in those few days.

Some old customers who frequent Mingyin Piano Store will find that there are a group of beautiful female shop assistants in the piano store for some reason.

Quite a few of this group of female shop assistants don't know much about musical instruments, but they are enthusiastic and active enough to make the atmosphere in the piano shop warm enough, which actually makes the business of the piano shop a lot better.

In this way, after about a week, the Bureau of Different Strategies completed the reconstruction of the disaster-stricken location and comforted the victims; and the magical girls completed the arrest of the people involved and the extermination of the remaining beasts. The big incident that caused the magic side of Bo'an City to shake, finally gradually subsided.

In such an atmosphere, the aftermath of the Bo'an incident has finally come to an end.

After the incident subsided, the magical girls of the Investigation Institute had no reason to stay here.

In the next step, they need to leave Bai'an City, go to the cities that Maowei mentioned before, and continue to search for possible clues to solve the bigger mystery.

However, because they have gotten along well with each other for a period of time, in order to say goodbye to the magical girls of the investigation institute, Dengzhan and the others also planned a special event:

— a farewell show.

A band composed of four members of the Bo'an City Magical Girls Squad, a music performance to send off to the Magical Girls of the Investigation Institute, was held in a small performance hall next to the piano store.

The venue of the performance hall next door was rented, and only a very small number of regular guests were invited as audiences. The performance went on as scheduled in a cheerful and enthusiastic atmosphere.

This is also the first time Delphinium knows that the magical girl team in Bai'an City can also serve as a band.

Of course, in Bo'an City, this is actually not unusual. Men, women and children here have more or less mastered one or two musical instruments, and their average musical literacy is far higher than that of the outside world.

On the day of the event, Delphinium was also invited to the venue, standing alone in the back row of the performance hall, sitting away from the crowd, quietly listening to the performance of the girls on stage.

"Why are you here alone?"

Amidst the sound of the music, the voice of the lantern rang in her ears: "Senior, you are the hero this time, so it would be more appropriate to stand in the first row?"

"I'm getting older and I'm not used to a noisy environment."

Delphinium said calmly: "What about you? Why did the keyboard player of the band suddenly come off the stage to talk to the audience?"

"The next repertoire is fine without me, their performance level is enough."

Dengzhan explained confidently: "Even Mu Baihe is worthy of my reassurance on stage. Although she looks silly at ordinary times, she is the most active person in rehearsal after knowing that this performance will be held."

"Children have always had a lot of plasticity."

Delphinium commented lightly: "So how to guide them is the most important issue."

"I think these kids are fine."

The lamp leaned back slightly, and said in a brisk tone, "Because I watched them grow up all the way, so I know that they will be good children and the pillars of the next generation."

"I don't deny that."

Delphinium looked at the stage not far away: "Especially Baiji, even when you are not around, she can muster up the courage to hold up the scene, and she is very calm in doing things. I am very optimistic about her."

"Ok?"

Lantern turned his head to the side: "Senior Delphinium, are you interested in white thistle?"

"I'm looking forward to her growth." Delphinium nodded slightly.

"Then please look forward to it, Bai Ji is the captain of the next generation appointed by the older generation in Bo'an City."

Lantern also said proudly: "Even if you are interested, you can't poach it from our Bo'an City team."

"You should be under 20 years old, even if you call yourself an older generation, you are just a child in my eyes."

Delphinium narrowed her eyes slightly: "And I didn't say that I wanted to poach people. My newcomer magical girl is already troublesome enough."

"Senior, do you also lead a rookie team?"

Dengzhan automatically ignored the first half of Delphinium's sentence. Obviously, she was more interested in the content of the second half of the sentence: "Does a position like inspector also bring in newcomers? Is it a team inside the Investigation Institute?"

"It's not what you think." Delphinium obviously didn't want to bring up this topic, and brought it lightly.

"is it?"

Seeing that she didn't want to mention it, Deng Zhan stopped asking, but changed the subject naturally: "In that case, senior, you will leave in a few days?"

Delphinium raised her eyes and turned her face sideways: "Why do you think so?"

"Because, it will be the full moon festival in a few days."

Lantern looked at the stage in the distance, with a smile on his face: "On the days of reunion with relatives, I still have to go back to my home, right?"

"Full Moon Festival..."

This word made delphinium slightly startled, and then seemed to think of something, and looked a little dazed.

And as if to confirm Dengzhan's words, her cell phone vibrated slightly at this time.

It's Lin Yun's phone.

Delphinium came back to her senses, subconsciously made a distinction, took out her phone, swiped open the lock screen, clicked into the message interface with information prompts, and saw a message from a familiar number:
[Lin Xiaolu: Are you coming back during the full moon festival? 】
