Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 133 I'm Sorry

--boom!

In the middle of the night, a violent explosion erupted from the center of the city, and the deafening sound that resounded through the sky woke Lin Xiaolu from her sleep.

"……what happened?"

Sleepily getting up from the bed, she looked into the distance from the window of the room, and when she saw the scene outside the window clearly, she first experienced a brief haze, and then gradually opened her eyes wide.

"Wake up, Xia Liang! Bai Jingxuan!"

Turning around and waking up the other two girls who were still asleep, Lin Xiaolu pointed out the window and shouted: "It seems something is wrong, there is some strange movement!"

The two who had already been immersed in sleep had no choice but to rub their eyes and get out of the bed, and went to the window together, and then lost their words at the same time.

——A huge purple-black beam of light rose from the center of the city, rushed straight into the sky, and pierced through the clouds.Even the surrounding flowing clouds were dyed purple, swirling around the beam of light, shining ominously.

Sleeping in a daze, Bai Jingxuan moved two steps forward, trying to get closer to the window to see the scene outside the window, but just as she approached the window, she saw a huge moth hit the window, There was a "pop" sound.

"Well!"

Such a movement startled her, and she took a few steps back, her sleepy head was sobered up by the fright.

"Really, it's still getting in the way at this time!"

Seeing that Bai Jingxuan was frightened by the sudden appearance of moths, Lin Xiaolu angrily slapped the window to drive them away, then walked to the closet in the room, and opened the door of her closet: "Hurry up and change clothes! Although I don't know what it is situation, but we have to go out!"

"Isn't it okay to just transform and go out?" Xia Liang yawned and asked, "I have to change clothes at a time like this, it feels very troublesome."

"It should be enough to put on the shoes, right?" Bai Jingxuan suggested.

"You two..."

Lin Xiaolu glanced at them, crossed her hips, and spoke a little unhappily, but before she could finish her sentence, she felt that the purple light shining from behind her was a little stronger.

This made her unfinished words choke in her throat.

"It's a beast!"

Mo Ke, who just woke up, also came over, pointed out the window and shouted: "Xiaolu! I can feel the breath of the beast! And it is very powerful, stronger than all the beasts I have seen before! This time it is definitely A big guy!"

It's a pity that no one cares about its words.Even Bai Jingxuan, who has the best relationship with Mo Ke, only symbolically agreed.

After all, the scene outside the window is too conspicuous.Even a fool would know after seeing the current situation that the purple beam of light shooting straight into the sky is absolutely abnormal.

Lin Xiaolu realized that if she insisted on changing into a casual outfit before going out, the day lily might be cold when she arrived.In desperation, he had no choice but to change his plan, grabbed a coat from the closet, put it on his body, and walked to the door: "Forget it, let's go quickly."

The other two also knew that the situation was urgent, so they followed her out of the room.The three of them and the goblin hurried out from the door of the room, before they even had time to turn on the lights, they trotted towards the door together.

Lin Xiaolu originally wanted to remind them to keep their voices down and not to wake her father, but seeing that several people had already run to the entrance, she couldn't say anything more, so she could only stand in the corridor and walked towards the door of her father's room with a guilty conscience. took a look.

It's fine not to look, but when she really looked over, what she saw was an open door.

The door is open?

This made Lin Xiaolu stunned.

"What are you still standing there for?"

Before she could think about it, Xia Liang who was not far away said to her with a suppressed voice: "There is no time to waste, let's go!"

"Um... oh."

Lin Xiaolu could only suppress the doubt that rose in her heart for a moment, and followed the others to the entrance.

She didn't have time to make sure the door was open, or whether her father was in the room or not.

Maybe I forgot to close the door when I was sleeping?
She explained this to herself, and then walked out of the house with her companions.

"senior".

The name shouted by the person behind Delphinium undoubtedly proves her identity: she is Hong Siyu.

But delphinium only felt a little heavy in her heart when she heard this address.

She just stood upright for a while, staring at the ground. After a while, she still couldn't hold back the thoughts in her heart. She turned her head and wanted to look back.

——"Don't look back, senior."

However, Hong Siyu stopped the delphinium's movements.

Her voice at this time was soft and clear, and she didn't sound serious: "Listen to me, and then talk to me."

"...I hate secretive guys."

Without directly responding to the other party's request, delphinium lowered her head, looked at the shadow on the ground, and sighed suddenly: "Why didn't you tell me directly? Why did you play some disappearing trick and didn't answer the phone even if you were dead? When did it become like this?"

"Well... who knows? I forgot too."

Hong Si and her voice frivolously said: "And what are you talking about covering up, senior, you are the most dishonest person, right? How much did you hide about the things back then? I have been kept in the dark."

"If you want, I can tell you after this time is over." Delphinium continued to lower her head with a low voice, "So tell me, do you have any idea? A way to turn these people back?"

"I don't know, but probably not."

Hong Siyu protracted his voice, as if he was thinking: "The people who did this seem to have never intended to make these people change back. After all, they are just experiments and fodder."

"...Who did this?"

"You know, I can't say, senior."

"So, what is your position now?"

Delphinium's voice was a bit serious: "Are you still a retired magical girl? Are you an employee of the Different Strategy Bureau? Or...are you already a member of Black Ember Dawn?"

After she asked, Hong Siyu's voice disappeared for a moment.

After a while, she spoke again: "Your question really makes me sad, senior."

"In your mind, I am such a person who can easily betray? I have been a magical girl for ten years, but in the end I betrayed to such a disgusting organization to do some disgusting deeds?"

There was dissatisfaction in Hong Siyu's voice, and he seemed to be a little angry: "Even at this point, I still want you to get rid of the beasts here. If I really betrayed, why should I tell you this?"

"...Yes." Delphinium pursed her lips, her eyes flickered, and then she let out a long sigh of relief, with a complicated expression on her face, "I really shouldn't doubt you."

"I can't tell you who did it, not because I don't want to, but because I can't."

There was some grievance in Hong Siyu's voice: "Why don't I tell you when Xiaolu was ambushed back then, and wait until now?"

"Xiaolu? You mean the time at the Wetland Park? It already started at that time?"

Delphinium's words paused: "It seems that I really came too late."

"It's not too late, it's better to say that you came too early, senior."

Hong Siyu laughed suddenly: "Don't you know what I mean by letting you stay at home? If you are in such a hurry and rush over at this time, I will be a little sad."

"If I don't come now, will I still meet you?"

Delphinium asked in bewilderment: "If it really dragged on till midnight, or even come back tomorrow, you wouldn't talk to me so much again, would you?"

"...That's true." Hong Siyu sighed, "It's always good to say a few more words, although I don't want to chat with you in this situation, senior. Let me say goodbye to you in the elevator. Isn't it good in the end?"

"Just relying on 'I'll leave it to you'? Such irresponsible nonsense?" Delphinium raised his voice and asked, "Are you willing to leave such a sentence behind and let me deal with this mess by myself?"

"Then I have nothing to do after all." Hong Siyu smiled awkwardly, "As you can see, I've screwed up."

"There is still room for redemption." Delphinium stared at the shadow on the ground, and whispered: "There is still time, we still have a chance to remedy all this."

"Well, there's still time." Hong Si agreed, "Now, clean up all the monsters here, and then go to the culprit to defeat her gorgeously, there is still a chance for everything."

"That's not what I said."

"Senior, you should still have the fighting power of the Lei level, right? Although it is a little bit reluctant to win... it seems that it is indeed a bit far away? But it doesn't matter, I believe in you, after all, you can always create miracles."

"That's not what I said."

"Xiaolu and the others have grown a lot now, so they shouldn't be able to hold back, oh, maybe there will be surprises when you rush to join them? Hehe, I don't know the bottom line here."

"Hong Siyu." Delphinium said with a serious tone: "You know, that's not what I'm talking about."

"...But, it must be done as I said, senior."

Hong Siyu also gradually lowered his voice: "Can you see it? It's over there, the center of the city."

Accompanied by her voice, a ray of moonlight suddenly penetrated the boundless darkness, the originally dark hall was illuminated by silvery white light, and a glass curtain wall showed its original appearance.

Outside the glass curtain wall is the night view of Fangting City.

However, even at an incomparably far distance, Delphinium could see that there was a beam of purple-black light reaching the sky, rising straight from the ground, rushing all the way to the sky, illuminating the clouds together.

If you simply estimate the distance, the location of the beam of light is quite far away from the Alien Strategy Bureau, but delphinium can also feel a strong ominous atmosphere across such a long distance.

"...What is that?" Delphinium asked calmly.

"Remnant beast... right?"

"Why is it an interrogative sentence?"

"Because it may not be as pure as the usual beast."

"...What is 'pure'?"

"Senior, do you know?"

A certain emotion was suppressed in Hong Siyu's voice: "That crippled beast, what did it eat to grow up?"

"...You have something to do with this matter?"

"do not know."

"do not know?"

"Hmm." Hong Siyu responded softly, "Only this is the only thing I don't know at all, but I think, if I knew, I would definitely not do it."

Delphinium turned her face to the side, looking at the purple-black beam of light in the distance, with a serious expression.She knew that this beam of light was probably the result of Hei Jin Dawn's painstaking efforts.

The question Hong Siyu said, "What did the crippled beast eat to grow up?" They both knew the answer, but it was hard for them to say it out.

The spider in Bo'an City told her before she died that Black Ember Dawn was looking for "nutrition" for the beasts, and this kind of nourishment had no restrictions at all: they could be humans, other beasts, goblins, or even Magical girl.

Therefore, what Hongsiyu said "will not do it" is actually a statement.

She was saying that even though she seemed to have a certain connection and relationship with the mastermind behind this incident, and even participated in this incident early on, she did not betray.

"...You don't need to make such a promise." Delphinium spoke again, but felt that her voice was extremely dry.

"I have it, senior." Hong Siyu's tone was very solemn, "There are some things that I don't want to be misunderstood by you."

"I'm not mistaken."

"Have you misunderstood?"

"I just need to know if you are from Black Ember Dawn. If you are not, then there is no misunderstanding."

"I'm not." Hong Siyu replied calmly and clearly.

"...That's fine." Delphinium didn't know how she felt when she said this.

"So, senior, although you came early, you don't have time."

Hong Siyu didn't continue to dwell on this topic, but gently reminded: "The real culprit is there. It's time for the magical girl to clear away the beasts blocking the way and face the real enemy."

Eliminate the beasts.

Delphinium had already fully understood what Hong Siyu was talking about, because she had assembled all the puzzles related to it and got the answer to this matter.

However, because of this, she has never felt so resistant to the word "removal of remnants".

Before the unknown call, he told himself that Hongsi was "on the high ground".Where exactly is this "high place", after seeing the scene on the ceiling, delphinium already knew.

She now understood the meaning of the strange words that Hong Siyu said when she left her home a few hours ago.

Retired magical girls should not have the magic power to see fairies, but Hong Siyu did. How she did it, Delphinium found the answer.

She also finally understood the reason for Hongsi and the weird taste that she usually showed in cooking.

Also, five months ago, the day I first discovered that my daughter had become a magical girl.

It was a bad day as usual after Anya's death. I had just got off work and the sky had just turned dark.Before learning that Lin Xiaolu had become a magical girl, Hong Siyu called herself and asked, "Do you want to have dinner together?"

In the restaurant, this junior, who hadn't communicated with him for a long time, chatted with him about a lot of boring things, and even secretly told Lin Xiaolu the news of becoming a magical girl.

Then, he sent her home drunk.

She couldn't remember what the drunken Hong Siyu said at the time, but she seemed to be back in the cab full of alcohol.Amidst the sour and bitter taste, there was an indistinct sob from the passenger seat beside him:

--"sorry".

That was a sentence that delphiniums at the time could not understand.

"I..." she opened her mouth, but she didn't know what else to say, she just felt her blood rushing and her brain buzzing, "I can't..."

"You can do it, senior, that's why I said, please."

Hong Siyu's voice also softened, and he said with some encouragement: "Because only you can do it here, and I believe you can do it too. Just like in the past, let's bring miracles to this city."

"After all, you are the person I admire most."

After the words fell, Delphinium felt that the buzzing in her head disappeared.The whole world seemed to have lost its sound, turned into nothingness, and entered a soundless and colorless illusory realm.

Without blinking, Delphinium remained expressionless.She lowered her head slowly and looked at her feet.He looked at the place where the shadow was originally reflected.

There should have been a shadow there originally, a shadow representing "Hongsihe".However, at this moment, she couldn't find what she wanted to see.

Although she can see the shadow, the shadow on the ground does not belong to Hong Siyu, and even, it does not belong to "human beings".

What was projected from behind her onto the ground in front of her was just the shadow of a moth that stretched its wings and stood up high, completely covering itself in it.

It looks so heterogeneous, but it is not alone.Because in this different policy bureau, there is much more than just the shadow of such a moth.

Countless dark shadows of moths stretched out from the ceiling, from the walls, and from all directions. They crawled, knelt down, and sang songs, but they all turned in the same direction—that is, in the distance, in the city center. Purple black beam of light.

They surrounded the delphinium in circles, like a vortex, which would drag that tiny figure into it at any time.

"Hongsiyu." Delphinium spoke again, breaking the silence surrounded by endless black shadows.

However, this call has received no response.

She just stood there expressionless, staring at the ground in front of her without squinting, suddenly felt like laughing, and suddenly felt a little suffocated.

She didn't feel happy, but she no longer knew what expression she could make.

"The word 'sorry' should be said by me..."

The delphinium raised its head abruptly, and muttered indistinctly.Then, she finally turned around slowly, facing behind her.

"I'm sorry for you, Hong Siyu."

She hadn't looked back before, not only because of Hong Siyu's request, but also because she had already guessed what she would see, so she didn't want or dare to look back.

She knew that when she looked back, all the beauty and nostalgia would be easily torn apart like a thin layer of paper, and she would never find a trace of warmth again.

However, she had to look back, she needed confirmation, and she needed to tell herself that there was no one she wanted to say "sorry" to.

Huge, with the height of several people, the remnant beast is standing there.

Its wings spread out like a gorgeous blooming flower, and the fluffy, outstretched wings were emitting purple-red brilliance under the moonlight.The wings are dotted with countless black and white spots, forming a dreamy and strange pattern.

Its eyes are dark and deep, with a purple-black evil brilliance flowing, as if it can see everything.The body covered with fluff is slender and ferocious, which makes people subconsciously afraid.

Under the moonlight, the remnant beast looked at the delphinium quietly.It didn't make any sound, and of course, it couldn't speak.

It just stood lightly in front of the delphinium, then stretched out its mouthparts, and gradually approached the delphinium.

The slender mouthparts gradually enlarged in the delphinium's pupils, and then slowly stretched to the side of the delphinium's neck, stretched out, and drilled out several slender tubes and fangs from the viscous saliva , attached to the delphinium's seemingly slender and weak neck.

Delphinium closed her eyes.

In the darkness, she seemed to see the familiar figure of her junior again. She stood in front of the delphinium, put her hand on the delphinium's neck, and stared at herself with dark eyes.

No more parodies, crude lies, or artificial follies.These things will no longer affect Hong Siyu's true heart, she shed all the usual disguises, just like when she first met the delphinium, she looked at the delphinium with a somewhat determined expression in shyness, opened his mouth:

"Do it, senior."

"Magical girl...it's time to drive out the beasts."
