Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 137 The Journey Home

33-year-old Hong Siyu once forgot the word "miracle".

Just as she expected when she was a student, she became an ordinary employee, working in a strange city.

Of course, she is said to be an employee, but the place where she works is a little special. It is not an ordinary private enterprise or institution, but a different policy bureau.

At the age of 22, she escaped from Fangting City.

After graduating from university and getting her diploma, she left that city. She didn't even say hello to her teammates. She just sent a group message and disappeared in the port without a sound.

She did not attend Anya and Lin Yun's wedding, nor did she attend the full moon ceremony of their children.

This was not her original intention. In fact, she had been trying her best to maintain a peaceful relationship with Anya, but in the end she found that she couldn't do it.So she had no choice but to escape, and thus escaped to a city where no one knew herself, and she did not know anyone else.

She went to Tiandu, the central city farthest from Fangting City in Donghua Prefecture, where she registered for the record and spent the rest of her life as a magical girl.

Later, Anya called her several times to communicate with her, hoping that Hong Siyu would return to Fangting City, but she just declined politely.

Anya didn't do anything wrong, she just pursued her love and got a response.In this matter, she could have ignored herself, because she was not the right party.

Hong Siyu thought so.

She knew that Anya was a seemingly confused but sensitive person. Her tolerance and gentleness towards her friends was also the reason why Anya became the team leader of Fangting City.Even if Hongsiyu's attitude on this matter is so bad, she still hopes to repair their relationship with him.

In contrast, her performance on this matter was so heartless that Hong Siyu felt that even she herself was disappointed by her behavior.

But, she really can't do it.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this reason that she was unable to make breakthroughs in the development of abilities, and stayed at the Lei level forever.After all, the wish she made when she became a magical girl was to be happy.

Later, Hong Si and Zai Tiandu had a fixed residence, took his mother there, and settled down completely.The tenure of the magical girl expired, and she chose to retire as a matter of course, and then entered the General Directorate of the Different Strategy Bureau in Tiandu City.Except for going home with her mother during the holidays and seeing relatives she was not familiar with, Fangting City had completely disappeared from her life.

Later, her mother died of illness, and she never returned to Fangting City.

Anya would still call from time to time, and Hongsi would connect occasionally, listening to the other party tell what happened in Fangting City.

After getting married, Anya's personality is obviously a little more mature than when she was young. Although she still behaves foolishly, she is much more sophisticated in the world.She will tell Hongsi and Fangting City which newcomers are in the team, and even introduce new people to Hongsiyu intentionally, but she will not mention the matter of letting him go back, but just express her thoughts silently.

Hong Siyu didn't respond in this regard, as if she didn't hear Anya's implication.

Just like that, time flew by, until one day, An Ya didn't call her again.

At the beginning, she just felt relieved, thinking that Anya had finally given up the unnecessary persuasion and let go of the past.But soon, a piece of news came from inside the Bureau of Different Strategies, which made her froze there.

——The strongest flower card in the magic kingdom, Sakura, sacrificed.

At the moment when she learned of Anya's death, she didn't even know how to describe her feelings.

are you happy?easy?Are you happy?
She couldn't deny that these feelings, which would make her feel self-loathing, overflowed uncontrollably from her heart at that moment.

The object of my envy and escape for so many years disappeared from the world.

But she knew that such dark thoughts were not the whole story.

After that, she took the initiative to apply to the Headquarters of the Different Strategy Bureau in Tiandu City, intending to be transferred to Fangting City, and assist in the training and liaison work of the backward magical girls, while investigating the cause of Anya's death.

The General Administration agreed to her request and sent her back to Fangting City.

This also means that after many years, she can finally see the person she cares about and likes again.

What kind of face should I use to face my predecessors?Thinking of this, she couldn't wait to go to Anya and Lin Yun's house on the first day she returned to Fangting City, and finally, she got her wish and saw Lin Yun.

But she never thought that the Lin Yun she saw again would look like that.

It was a thin middle-aged man with no expression in his eyes and an unshaven face.His clothes are still neat and tidy, but no matter how tall and straight a suit is, it can't correct a person's spirit. He looks so vicissitudes and loss that Hong Siyu can't even find a trace of his past from this man.

He is no longer the handsome boy he was then.

Even if he saw himself, he didn't have any special reaction, he just greeted him very simply.

Is this the man who I have kept in mind for so many years, fled to other cities to be an ostrich for so many years, and now I have to rush back to meet him?
At that moment, Hong Siyu only felt absurd.

However, the next sentence said by the man in front of her made her feel as if something was pulling her heart.

"Go back, go back to your own life."

He stood at the door, and there was no emotion in his dark eyes: "Don't get involved in this matter, there is nothing here that is worthy of your nostalgia."

Hong Siyu didn't know what kind of mentality the man in front of her was holding to say this sentence, but after hearing this sentence, she felt that she had to do something.

Whether it's for him or for myself, I should do something.

But what can she do?

She herself is just a coward, an unlucky person, an idiot who went to a strange city to hide for 11 years because the person she liked married someone else, what can she do for the man in front of her?
She has always been not good at words, and she is not good at communicating with people. The characteristics of her character determine that she will not be a person who can enlighten others.

At the age of 33, she no longer has the youth of a girl, the power to be a magical girl, and the concern with her past companions.She stood there, but she and the man in front of her were no longer the same person. He was an innocent citizen whose wife was killed, and she was an official employee of the Bureau of Different Strategies.

There was never a moment when she felt so far away from this man.

The passing time has alienated everything silently, all the innocence, beauty, and ignorance of the past are gone forever, and what is left are two people who have been alienated by life, looking so unbearable and ugly.

Miracles and magic once embraced them, but for some reason they failed to leave even the slightest trace on them. The life of a shining magical girl seemed like a dream. residue.

It shouldn't be like this.

Hong Siyu thinks so.

She knew that the man in front of her had once obtained the right to be a "Magic Girl for Life". Even though he was seriously injured that year and could no longer exert that power, there was still a miraculous light on him.

He shouldn't be like this, he can't be like this.

But, can a person as stupid as himself really be able to convey his heart well?

Is there any way to let myself break through this layer of barrier between the two, and tell him loudly those words that I dare not and have never said before?

Even she didn't know why, at that moment, she subconsciously chose a plan.She tried her best to put on a smile that she never had before, and said to the man with a rather bold attitude:
"What, it's obvious that I saw the younger generation I haven't seen for many years, why do I have to look so sad?"

She is not the one who can show such a smile, nor is she the one who can say such words. She is always used to hiding her thoughts in her heart.But now, she was forcing herself to speak out, like someone, honestly.

Because, she knew, she had always envied that person.

She envied that person's frankness, envied that person's optimism, envied that person's persistence, that person did everything that she had never done.

That's why she can successfully get her love, and she will come together with this man.

If it was her, what would she say when she saw her husband become like this?If it was her, knowing that she was actually dead, what would she think?If it was her, what would she do when she wanted to encourage someone?

Thinking about it like this, Hong Siyu started laughing, making trouble, and making jokes.

She knew who she was learning from.

She didn't really want that person to die at all.Even if it was because of her death that she had the opportunity to stand here, if possible, she would rather stay here with that person.

But now, it is impossible to restore the lost life, all she can do is to imitate.

She wants to be Anya.

……

……

33-year-old Hong Siyu wants to get back the miracle.

But if she wants to find a miracle and revive "Lin Yun"'s ambition, she must first find out the cause of Anya's death.

The Fangting City team 18 years ago has become history, and now the magical girls stationed in Fangting City have also left to track down the real culprit.As the only relevant person remaining in the city, many tasks were placed on Hong Siyu.

She is in charge of connecting with the local Different Strategy Bureau; she is to assist the next seeder in cultivating new magical girls; she is to investigate what happened before Anya's death.To this end, she had to contact the local Bureau of Different Strategies.

After conducting remote consultations with the local high-level officials, after booking a time, she went to the local Different Policy Bureau building during the daytime of the second day.

After returning from Tiandu, after seeing the grandeur of the General Bureau of Different Strategies, Hong Siyu unexpectedly discovered that the once tall and spacious Different Strategies Bureau in her memory now seems to be just an ordinary building.

Walking through the hall of the building, there seemed to be a few familiar faces among the employees of the Different Policy Bureau, and they might have met him more than ten years ago, but Hong Siyu couldn't remember them all.

On the contrary, among those new faces, quite a few people noticed Hong Siyu instead, and kept casting their gazes at her during the walk.

For some reason, these gazes made Hong Siyu feel slightly uncomfortable.

It doesn't seem to be the eyes of examining colleagues, nor the eyes of looking at the opposite sex. It seems that there is something else hidden in it, a kind of unknown malice.

But she didn't pay much attention to it, she just quickened her pace to get out of the sight of those people, then shook her head to get rid of the discomfort.From the elevator all the way up, and through the busy crowd, she quickly walked to the door of the director's office.After knocking on the door lightly and waiting for a while, she heard a voice from inside the door:

"Please come in."

Hong Siyu walked in, and saw a capable-looking, elderly blond woman sitting in the office, smiling and nodding her head.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Moss."

She said politely: "Hello, comrade from Tiandu City."

Perhaps because of the detailed movements and tone, her words make people feel like a spring breeze.

She is not the director of the Different Policy Bureau that Hongsi and remembers. When Hongsi and left Fangting City 11 years ago, the director here was an old bald man from the Mediterranean.

It's a substitution.

Hong Siyu didn't doubt that he was there, and walked up to shake hands with each other: "Hi, I'm Hong Siyu."

"Thank you for your assistance, it is a great honor for our Fangting City."

The elderly lady who called herself Moss said so, slightly shook the hand she held with Hong Sihe, and then relaxed: "I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."

Hong Siyu saw her hands, those hands did not match the age of Mousse's surface, they looked white and smooth.

This lady seems to be good at maintenance.

She thought so, but at the same time, she began to feel that something was wrong.

The two sat face to face on both sides of the desk. After a short rest, Moss spoke first: "Well, although it is a bit presumptuous to ask this way, I still want to confirm that you came to our Fangting City. , Has the superior assigned any tasks?"

Her tone was very peaceful, but in Hong Siyu's ears, there was a subtle sense of discomfort.She began to constantly examine and think about everything around her, but she still couldn't find the source of this discomfort.

But this is a different strategy bureau. In broad daylight, what could make me feel so uncomfortable?

"Sorry, I can't reveal this at the moment."

Thinking of this in his heart, Hongsi shook his head superficially, and politely said to the other party: "But this is just the requirement of the mission. I will tell you when the time is right."

"That's it, then I won't force it."

Moss smiled kindly: "Let's just wish the secret mission of the General Administration can be successfully completed. If you need it, we will always be able to assist you in your work."

The two chatted endlessly like this, and Moss asked Hong Siyu some irrelevant questions from time to time, and Hong Siyu carefully considered the words and gave answers as carefully as possible.

But slowly, as time went by, Hong Siyu felt more uncomfortable.

This uncomfortable feeling is hard to describe, just like being tickled from the inside of her body with a feather. A numbness and pain continuously spread from her arms, making it gradually difficult for her to concentrate force.

She began to feel dizzy in her head.

There seemed to be something ringing in her head, rustling and clicking, as if traveling through her brain, disturbing her, making her feel more and more drowsy.

"Speaking of which, I have heard a rumor before. It is said that there are quite a few retired magical girls in different strategy bureaus in big cities like Tiandu. Has Miss Hong heard of this?"

Moss suddenly mentioned this topic, looked at Hong Si and said with great interest: "This is a very interesting rumor, isn't it?"

It seems like I should answer the question myself.

Hong Siyu told herself so.

But at this moment, she found that she could no longer speak, her body seemed to be no longer under her control, and her consciousness seemed to be separated from her body, being divided into two.

She began to feel her vision go black.

it's wired……

She began to feel her brain spinning.

What's wrong with myself...
She began to feel her body getting lighter.

who I am?

She began to feel the need to fly.

Raising his hand vigorously, he touched the inside of his coat, where the weapons equipped by the General Bureau of Different Strategies were hidden for subordinate employees, allowing ordinary people who have not mastered magic power to fight against magicians.Hong Siyu tried to take it out, because she felt that she had met the enemy.

However, she couldn't do it anymore.

The standing legs had no ability to support the body, and the weak feet had no strength to walk forward. Hong Siyu just crossed his body from the seat and fell heavily to the ground.

When her consciousness was foggy, she seemed to see Moss standing up from behind the desk and walking in front of her.Then, he slowly stretched out his hand towards himself.

The picture freezes at that moment.

On the fingertips of that hand, a moth rested quietly.
