Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 138 The Blue Delphinium Under the Cage
35 is old.

Hong Siyu spent two years in a daze.

——"What's the matter with you today?"

One day, in the restaurant at night, the man sitting opposite her asked a little strangely: "You didn't match your words, did you drink before you came?"

Doesn't the preface not match the afterword...it's also normal.

She smiled wryly to herself.

Because as long as she wants to tell the truth to the other party, all the vocal organs in her body will become useless, and she will no longer be able to make a sound.

The body becomes as if it no longer belongs to itself, and the consciousness is sometimes awake and sometimes asleep.Even if she is acting in a sober state, her every move is like a machine with secret doors set up, full of constraints everywhere.

The information that is not allowed to be mentioned cannot be spoken, and the thoughts that are not allowed will be subconsciously forgotten. In many cases, even she herself does not know what she is doing.

Are you still human now?She couldn't understand it at all.

But she must exist like this, and she must persist like this.Because, she still has a lot of information, and she has a lot to tell the man in front of her.

So she smiled reluctantly, picked up the wine glass, and handed it out to the man in front of her:

"Last month, the country announced the new list of magical girl flower card evaluations, and there are two more rookies in one breath."

In fact, what she wants to say is: Senior Margaret has become a flower card, are you really willing to completely give up the power of magical girls?
"Is there any point in saying this now?" The man obviously didn't want to answer this topic.

"Is it meaningless to pay attention to the younger generation?"

In fact, what she wants to ask is: If you look at me more, can you detect more abnormalities from me?

"It has nothing to do with me, why should I pay attention." But the other party is still avoiding.

"You can't deceive your own people by lying like this. You can't do nothing, right? After all, you were..."

After all, you are the one who has been honored as a "Magic Girl for Life" and can become a Magical Girl again.

Hong Si and lowered his eyes, thinking silently in his heart.

There are too many things I want to tell him, but I can't say them; there are too many things I want to ask him, but I can't bring them up.

In the past two years, she had hinted too many obliquely, but the attitude of the other party was also obvious: she did not want to get involved in matters related to magical girls.

He didn't explain the reason clearly, but Hong Siyu could tell from his expression that this was not his emotional decision, but some kind of deeper consideration.

Probably, from my standpoint and identity, I can't say anything that can impress this man.After all, to him, she was just a junior whom he had known in school, a teammate who had worked with him for half a year.What she said meant nothing to him.

But time is running out.

The actions of Black Ember Dawn became more and more frequent, and more and more cities were infiltrated in Donghua Prefecture. If this continues, there will be no more chances.

Obviously, then, there is only one last way left.

She closed her eyes and silently said sorry in her heart.

Perhaps this appearance will be a bit despicable, but if the magical girl in memory can be brought back, let's make myself a little more despicable.

——"The newcomer magical girl in Fangting City has already connected with us today. How is it, does this have anything to do with you?"

……

……

Black Ember Dawn will continue to hunt and kill the magical girls in Fangting City, and kill the new magical girl code-named Baimei in the cradle.

Hong Siyu already knew this news.

She couldn't tell Lin Yun about this matter, and she couldn't use any means to hint about it, just because she couldn't resist Moss' will.It is an iron law that lower-level disabled beasts cannot disobey the orders of higher-level disabled beasts.

However, she never meant to tell Lin Yun directly about this matter.

She just waited in a daze, until one day, Black Ember Dawn had planned to pretend to be an ordinary remnant beast attack that night, and then attack the magical girl named Baimei.

Hong Si and from the drowsiness briefly regained his clarity.

The magical girl Baimei is Lin Yun's daughter, Lin Xiaolu's code name.

This is the opportunity she was looking for.

She couldn't say what she knew, but that didn't mean there were no other means; Moss always thought she was completely in control, but it wasn't that there was no way to bypass the control and send out information.

At noon that day, she entrusted someone she knew to apply for a brand new mobile phone card, and then took the phone card to a dark room of the Bureau of Different Strategies. After sneaking in, she found a purple phone card in a device. cage.

It was a cage made up of a purple-black magic barrier and spell runes, and inside it was a puppy that looked sluggish.There should have been a pair of wings on the puppy's back, but all the feathers on the wings had been folded off, leaving only bare fleshy wings.

——It was a goblin, the sower of Fangting City, or should have been the sower of Fangting City, and its name was Nini.

Two years ago, Moss assassinated a newborn magical girl in Fangting City, then captured the sower named Nini, and imprisoned it here.

Its feathers are very useful magical materials, so Mousse took them away; its magic power is the rare fairy magic power in the material world, so Mousse squeezed them; two years later, this once lively sower was dying, There was hardly any vitality left.

It lay on its stomach in the cage, watching Hong Siyu walk in from the door, the figure at the door was reflected in its dull eyes, but it didn't respond.

"You're the sower, aren't you?"

Hong Siyu said so, without any further explanation, and handed the mobile phone in his hand to the goblin who looked like a puppy: "Then, you should still have the ability to sense the remnant beasts and magical girls in this city. "

Nini watched Hong Siyu quietly in the cage, without saying anything.

It can feel that the woman in front of it is also a beast in human skin, and it has no reason to pay attention to what the other party says.

Hongsiyu didn't mind its lack of cooperation, but just handed the phone forward again: "I don't have any requirements, I just want you to feel what you can feel, and when the time is right, tell me what you know The person on the other side of the phone."

Nini still does not move, it will not surrender to the enemy.

Hong Siyu looked at it for a while, rummaged in his pockets, and then took out a few biscuits and candies, and slowly stuffed them in along the gap in the cage.

"...What exactly do you want to do?" Nini spoke, but she was still very vigilant.

"The remnant beast can't defy the will of the superior. There are some things that I can't do by myself."

Hong Siyu explained: "But my superiors didn't forbid me to meet the sower, nor did they forbid me to give the sower some air."

"...You want to betray your superior?"

Nini moved her eyes slightly: "Or, is this just a play for me?"

"Whatever it is, you have no other choice anyway, and neither do I."

Hong Siyu clenched the phone tightly, and said in a low voice, "If you continue like this, you will be drained of magic power within a year, and then reduced to that woman's experimental material. Why don't you bet your hopes on this phone call, Anyway, it was just a phone call, I didn't ask you to betray anyone."

"Who's on the phone?"

"Inspector." Hong Siyu said softly.

The goblin was stunned for a moment, then swallowed as if realizing something:
"What do you want me to tell him?"

"Just tell him..."

Hong Siyu bit her lip, and then slowly said two words: "Be careful."

……

……

There is no need to repeat what happened after that.

Hong Siyu had done everything she could, and she did make the magical girl in her memory stand up again.The moment she saw the delphinium again, she knew her mission was over.

As for Black Ember Dawn's plan, she has nothing to do.

From the moment she walked into the office of the director of the Fangting City's Different Policy Bureau, she was already a crippled beast. Under the premise that she could not defy her superiors, some small tricks in secret were already the limit.

She chose to meet the person she likes for the last time on the night of the full moon festival, and then left, quietly waiting for her final transformation in this place that had been reduced to a nest of beasts.

However, what she didn't expect was that at the last moment of her life, she saw that person again.

She saw the magical girl in the navy blue dress walk in from the gate of the Different Strategy Bureau, with a dignified expression and hurried steps, showing no hesitation.

Is this a dying hallucination?Or is fate giving the unfortunate self the final compensation?
Hong Siyu didn't know the truth, but that didn't prevent her from walking out from the crowd of remnant beasts, and then quietly landed behind the magical girl, making her final request to the other party:

- Let's do it.

Then, her consciousness fell into boundless darkness.

I am not a qualified magical girl.Hongsi and understand this.

Because, when she first became a magical girl, compared to other children, her original intention was selfish and weak.

If most of the girls who become magical girls are fighting for the common future of people with full courage and determination, then I have always been that selfish person who only covets my own happiness.

She embarked on this path in order to pray for her own happiness, and worked hard to chase the light of her companions, but when she lost this original intention and could no longer see the light ahead in her heart, her path was turbulent. Here it is.It is also because of this that her consciousness can only take her so far after all, and that shining light is destined to not be able to protect her forever.

Having lost her light and future, she could no longer go on.

So, that's where it all ends, right?

Hong Sihe thought silently, letting his consciousness be overwhelmed by the tide-like darkness.

An unqualified magical girl, even after retiring, she still messed up everything, and the current situation may be her retribution.

If human consciousness still has other destinations after death, what should I say when I see Anya?Will she feel regret and disappointment about her actions?

However, he is no longer a human being, right?After becoming something like a beast, can I go to the same world with the magical girl after death?

Red thinking and feeling that my thoughts are becoming more and more blurred.

The sticky darkness is sticking to her thinking, sinking into the bottomless abyss, the dull consciousness becomes solidified with the stagnation of thinking, and the last clarity flickers like a candle in the wind, struggling to emit the last ray of light .

She could feel in the dark that above the boundless darkness, in that distant place, the azure blue light was becoming more and more shining.

That is the magic power of Delphinium, the magic power of magical girls.There is no doubt that when it erupts, it will take your own life.

"—"

However, she seemed to hear someone shouting something.

Is it a senior?

Hong Siyu felt that if he still had a body, he should be able to laugh sincerely.

Even if he died as a beast, at least by the hands of a magical girl before committing evil, at least by the hands of someone he likes, that would be the best result, right?

——"Hongsihe!"

The voice was becoming clearer and clearer, this time, it reached Hong Siyu's ears extremely clearly.

This made her, who was about to lose consciousness, regain some clarity.

Why, can I still hear it?

She couldn't help but have such doubts.

Is death really such a long and painful thing?Do you still have delusions and hallucinations even if you have completely lost your awareness of the outside world?
Enough is enough, I don't want to live like this anymore, let this end quickly.

She complained like giving up on herself.But then, she felt her hand being grabbed.

The hands that should no longer be there, but at this moment they can clearly feel the strength of the clenched hands.

who is it?

She couldn't help but want to open her eyes, but she was stuck firmly in place by an inexplicable force, still unable to move.

——"Hongsihe!"

The voice came from a distance again, but this time, it became closer.

And when this cry reached Hong Siyu's consciousness, the originally distant and dazzling blue light finally arrived in front of Hong Siyu.

She felt herself begin to rise.

From the boundless darkness, dragged by a powerful force, it rose towards the sky that was already out of reach.

——"Hongsihe!"

She heard it very clearly, the shout from her ear.

Hong Siyu suddenly opened his eyes.

Sight, hearing, touch, taste, and the senses that should have been isolated were fed back to her brain very clearly, and the world once again became clear and real.

She saw the familiar building, the familiar hall, and the familiar moonlight.

This is the Different Policy Bureau of Fangting City that she is familiar with, where she has been working for two years involuntarily, but now, it has turned into ruins.Dilapidated walls, cracked ground, and broken glass, she was lying in a mess of ruins, with an incomparably bright moonlight above her head.

And her hand was being held tightly by the other hand.

In the azure magic light, the petite girl was soaked in blood and stains from unknown sources, and her diamond-like hair was stained with dust, she looked so embarrassed.

Her eyes and nails shone with blue light, the heart jewel under her neck also shone with a dazzling blue light, and even her hair shone with magic power.

Like an angel who fell into the world, she looked at Hong Siyu with an inexplicable smile.

Hong Siyu had never seen a delphinium smile like this.

"It's all right."

She said this in a cold but gentle voice, but for some reason, she was smiling, but tears were shining in the corners of her eyes: "Because, the magical girl is here."

In her hand, she held a pair of small tailoring scissors.

The pair of scissors is currently connected with countless blue silk threads, and the surface is covered with complicated patterns, and those patterns are also trembling in the breath of magic power.

No, that's not a pattern.

Hong Siyu realized this.

Those things on the scissors are cracks.

She raised her hand subconsciously, and what she saw was not the ugly limb of the beast in her imagination, but the hand she was familiar with, but it became a little pale due to blood loss.

She looked to the side, and saw an extremely tall, moth-like remnant beast lying beside her, its belly ripped open, but the inside was empty.

It was as if something had been dug out of it.

She couldn't help thinking about it like this.

"senior."

She couldn't help asking, "What did you do?"

"It's just a normal killing of the beast."

Delphinium gently put down the scissors in her hand, pressed Hong Siyu's hand down and said, "Isn't this your own request?"

This answer made Hong Siyu stunned.

She stared at the delphinium for a while, and wanted to say why you were still joking, but the words turned into a whimper, and then she cried.

First, tears fell silently from the corners of her eyes, followed by her sniffling. Soon, she couldn't help choking, and finally cried loudly:

"It's scary! Senior! It's so dark, so uncomfortable, so scary, I'm really scared to death!"

"Ok, I know."

"In fact, I didn't want to die like this, but I thought it was really hopeless, so I thought that I would not give you too much psychological burden when I died anyway, so that you can solve this problem quickly. But in fact, I don't know I don't want to die!"

"Ok, I know."

"But I don't want to really become a beast, I don't want to eat people, I don't want to hurt others, and I don't want to hurt those children, I think, if you really want to get to that point, it's better to let you kill me never mind……"

Hong Siyu was crying loudly like a child.It wasn't until the tears were almost shed and the voice became hoarse that he paused, gradually softened his voice, and said in a whisper:
"Senior, I like you."

"Ok, I know."

"Not the kind of liking for friends, but the kind of liking for the opposite sex."

"Well, I know that too."

"Then, do you know that I have been secretly in love with you since my second year of junior high school."

"……sorry."

"But, I'm 35 now, and I'm no longer the young and beautiful girl at that time. I've become such a disgusting monster after getting old. You won't like me anyway, right?"

Slightly twitching his nose, Hong Siyu forced a somewhat ugly smile: "I can only take advantage of this atmosphere to muster up the courage to confess, and it's just such a disturbing confession. Just pretend you didn't hear it and don't reply Alright."

"...Hong Siyu."

"what happened?"

"Don't be Anya anymore, you are not her." Delphinium said softly.

Hong Si and Wei Wei were stunned, looked at Delphinium's face, and remained silent for a while.

"So you can feel it." She closed her eyes weakly, "I thought you were really dull like a log."

"Hongsiyu."

"what happened again?"

"Thank you, for making me think about some things clearly." Delphinium gently let go of Hong Siyu's hand.

"What's wrong? Realized that I can actually renew the string?"

"no."

"Yes, after all, an old woman like me..."

"No." Delphinium's somewhat erratic voice interrupted Hong Siyu's words.

This made Hong Siyu seem to realize something, and opened his eyes again.She looked at Delphinium seriously, observing every detail of the other party carefully, only to feel that something had changed in this magical girl who should be familiar in front of her.

"senior……"

She panted slightly, her voice trembling: "What the hell did you do?"

Delphinium didn't explain anything, but silently put away the scissors and stood up from the ground.

Then, Hong Siyu saw the scene behind the delphinium.

Countless blue magic threads stretched out from the back of the delphinium, and each thread was connected to the remnant beast on the ceiling. The fluorescing blue threads interweaved to form a huge network, and the galloping magic power flowed back and forth on the threads. Shuttle, forming a sea of ​​light, like a pair of wings, spread out from the girl's back.

The ends of the pair of wings connected the remnant beasts that were originally humans, and unexpectedly made the restless remnant beasts calm and serene again, as if falling into a beautiful dreamland, falling asleep in the tranquility.

Hong Siyu couldn't even describe this brilliant and gorgeous scene in words.

But she began to feel an inexplicable sadness.

Because she knew that this was not what the current delphinium should do.

"Don't be so nervous, I haven't used that trick yet."

As if seeing through Hong Siyu's thoughts, Delphinium calmly said, "I just wanted to get away."

"I used to be wishful thinking, and even arrogantly thought that I was the hero who saved everything, and the heroes in the story, after saving the world, can be disarmed and returned to the field, and live a stable and happy life with their lover from then on."

"However, the real world is not a story, and I am not a hero. I am just an ordinary person who was lucky to have power, and I happened to save some people during the battle."

"I am a dereliction of duty husband and a dereliction of duty father. I failed to protect my lover and wife. If this continues, I will not be able to protect my daughter. If I really get to that point, everything in me will be destroyed. Meaningless."

"Then, at least, while I'm still able to fight, I can be a competent magical girl, right?"

She looked at Hong Siyu with a dazzling smile on her face: "Magical girls should bring hope, miracles, and redemption. As long as the magical girl comes, darkness, despair, and pain should all be dispelled." , was wiped out."

"Let me be like that, and as long as I can fight, I'll make all the evil in my sight nowhere to hide, and I'll bring hope to all of you."

"So, I'm sorry, although I don't hate you, but I can't let go of the past, I have chosen the future, and I may not be destined to be the person you are."

Thinking and knowing, Delphinium has made a certain choice.

It's not a purely emotional choice for oneself, but a more important choice that even has an incomparably far-reaching impact.And once this choice is made, it will be like a machine that starts suddenly, its operation can no longer be reversed, and it cannot be stopped.

"Don't do that."

She spoke weakly, trying to stand up to dissuade her, but only then realized that she didn't have enough strength.Because now she is too weak to even stand up.

"Sleep well and rest."

The delphinium spoke softly to her, and then, the silk thread behind her surged, creating bursts of air in the autumn night, like a kingfisher flapping its wings.

Among the broken ruins of the Different Policy Bureau, the remaining steel skeleton is like a huge cage, but this cage has lost its door lock.The delphinium in the cage stretched its wings at this moment, looked up at the sky, and sang loudly, intending to fly to the distance again.

——"When you wake up, it will be dawn."
