Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 186 Temporary Ontology
When Lin Yun came to Emerald's research institute by subway, he happened to see Hong Siyu walking off the treatment bed, ending the day's treatment.And the goblin doll was also sitting by the bed, still seeming to be debugging something.

Holding the heart gemstone in his pocket, Lin Yun simply sensed it, and found that Hongsi and the magic fluctuations on his body seemed to be a little different.With a thought in his heart, he subconsciously walked towards the research institute.

However, just before his footsteps fell, the doll beside the bed also noticed the magic fluctuation of the rune at the door.It raised its head, looked at Lin Yun, stretched out its paws, and made a stop gesture: "Wait a minute, don't come in."

Lin Yun's feet suddenly stopped in mid-air.

His slightly puzzled gaze perfectly expressed his thoughts.Noticing this sight, Emerald didn't give a damn. The doll's paws curled up, and a finger pointed straight at the heart gem in Lin Yun's hand: "Transform first, don't use the body to get in."

Only then did Lin Yun realize that he hadn't become a magical girl yet.He took half a step back, looked left and right in the corridor of the office building, and after confirming that there were no other people's eyes and cameras, he changed into a delphinium, and then walked into the emerald research institute.

"Will there be any impact on entering this room with the main body?"

After activating the rune on the door and closing the door of the research institute, Delphinium asked with some doubts: "It seems to be like this when I came here before."

"It's very troublesome to explain. To put it simply, the space of this room has been affected and changed by the kingdom to a certain extent, and it is in a transitional state."

Seeing that the delphinium had completed its transformation, Emerald lowered her head again, and began to tinker with the treatment bed panel in front of her: "There will be no problem entering this space with the magical girl's magic body, but entering this space with the main body may cause problems. Some side effects that you don't want to see."

Delphinium looked at Hong Siyu at the side, and walked to the treatment bed: "For example?"

"For example, the body is overwhelmed by excessive magic power and becomes a soul creature."

The mouth of the goblin doll reveals the shocking truth: "Or the body becomes magical and incompatible with the material world, and after going out, the body will be short of weight."

"It sounds more serious than entering the kingdom physically." Delphinium couldn't help raising her brows when she heard the horrific end described by the other party.

"Because the kingdom is a stable world, the transition of rules between worlds also has a stable transformation entrance; and this is just a small temporary space, and the stability is much worse."

Emerald doesn't mind at all showing that her technology is still immature.With a dragging voice, he introduced lazily: "You can also take it as a means of preventing theft. If there are thieves from the material world who want to come in to steal, there is a high probability that they will explode on the spot when they enter the door."

"...Is this really the method magical girls should use?"

"Didn't you say it before? I am the gem scepter." Emerald's voice was calm.

A person who has completely given up on face cannot be slandered by words. Obviously, the other party has completely given up the intention of clarifying the name "gem scepter" and instead used it as his own shield.

And when she got to this point, Delphinium naturally tactfully stopped asking, and asked another question instead.

"Then why did you use the magic mirror to call me on the way here?"

As the time spent dealing with each other increased these days, delphinium also found out a bit of emerald's temper, and became straightforward when speaking in front of her, not as hypocritical as she was in front of the golden green cat's eyes: "You should know It’s impossible for me to take out a magic mirror in public to attract attention, and I can’t just use the magic mirror at this kind of time just for fun, right?”

"An old man like me can't understand your young people's stuff. As for what you said, you have to ask her."

After some half-truth and half-false coping, the doll stretched out its paw, and motioned in Hong Siyu's direction: "You can ask her to explain to you."

When it said this, delphinium remembered that when she first entered the door, she felt that there was something wrong with Hongsi and the magic fluctuations on her body.

It has been a month since Hong Siyu was sent to the kingdom for treatment after the full moon festival.After this period of adjustment, it stands to reason that the actual problem should have stabilized.Not to mention cure, at least it won't get worse.

However, changes in the fluctuation of magic power are often inseparable from the truth. The other party is so serious, which makes her a little worried.

"What's the matter?" Her first reaction was that something went wrong with the treatment, so she asked with a frown.

"No, it's not something wrong..."

Hong Siyu, who was still in the form of a magical girl, spoke hesitantly, clutching his magic outfit notebook over and over in his hand, his eyes wandering around: "There's just something wrong."

Delphinium looked at her, then at the doll beside her, and asked with some seriousness: "What's the matter? Your Excellency, chief, asked you for a sky-high medical fee?"

"Hey, I can't pretend that I didn't hear this. Your question is a question of my character, and I feel that my self-esteem has been insulted."

Emerald on the side immediately dragged out her dissatisfied voice, "No matter how much I need funds, I won't bully the younger generation in this kind of place."

"Haha...Senior, you think too badly of the Chief Excellency."

Hong Siyu smiled helplessly, and relaxed his grip on the notebook a little: "Actually, it's good news, that is to say... We just discussed a plan, and if it is implemented normally, I can change my mind from now on." Back to the body."

Delphinium was slightly taken aback by her words.

"Can you change back to your body?"

After a brief pause, Delphinium immediately asked: "Really?"

"Well, although it is somewhat troublesome, it can be done for the time being."

Hong Siyu turned his head to the side: "But, that is to say... maybe it's not the same as 'returning' in the usual sense."

"I feel that you may have to say something that makes people feel very headache next."

"...As expected of a senior, indeed."

Hong Siyu nodded with lowered eyes: "Because my main body has not completely healed, and is still in an unstable state. So if you want to change back and return to a normal life, Your Excellency Chief gave me an idea."

"What's the idea?"

"Use the truth as a template to create a 'temporary body'." Hong Si and honestly said.

Delphinium didn't reply, but fell silent for a moment, staring at Hong Siyu, and took a few seconds to understand the meaning of the junior's words.And because the eyes were too straight and undisguised, Hong Siyu didn't know what to think of, and his head drooped even lower.

After being silent for a long time, Delphinium spoke again: "What you said about 'making a temporary body', isn't it just to forge a body and use it as the body for your activities in the material world?"

"Worthy of being the top five magical girls in Kaihua's speed in the past century, her comprehension ability is really extraordinary."

Emerald on the side answered, and the indifferent compliment drew delphinium's slightly indifferent eyes, but she didn't care about it:

"To be precise, because Chao Yan's original body was too severely affected by the beast, even if the concept of the beast was stripped away, there are too many eroded organs on the body that are difficult to restore. A long-term warm-up is needed to heal The process must be forced to be in a dormant state for the time being, so take out a spare body to move around."

"It sounds like a technology that can only be seen in science fiction movies." Delphinium expressed his feelings very straightforwardly.

"Don't underestimate our National Research Institute, some sci-fi movies in the physical world may not be able to imagine our capabilities."

Emerald shook her head, completely forgetting that she said "young people who don't understand the material world" just a few words ago, and commented somewhat sharply: "Fantasy is based on reality, and the legend of the kingdom is often the source of people's fantasy. "

"So what about the feasibility?"

Based on the principle of being as cautious as possible, Delphinium further asked: "Is the technology mature, and how big is the risk?"

"Is it mature? You don't have to worry about that. The technology for producing life forms has been matured decades ago, and there have been many successful application cases. Not to mention human beings, we can even be sure about the body of a goblin." imitated to a certain extent."

Emerald pointed to her current goblin doll body: "The only thing we can't do is to create a soul out of thin air. All the created living bodies are just unconscious dead things. But it's a good thing for us—— Just creating a spare body without self-awareness, we don't need to carry any moral and ethical psychological burden."

"It sounds like you've been planning to do this for a long time."

"I do not deny."

Emerald nodded: "Because you also know that Zhaoyan's condition is not good, and your condition will only be worse than hers. Fangting City now lacks deterrent high-end combat power. To be honest, as the source of beasts Come down master, I'm not at ease about the security situation here.

"So you want a wounded person to make more sacrifices for this?" Delphinium couldn't help frowning.

"Don't worry, junior, I never said this is a 'sacrifice'. The technology of the artificial body is very mature, and it will not cause any burden or harm to the user."

Emerald stretched out her claws, and simply comforted her: "I can assure you that Chao Yan will not suffer any adverse effects because of this decision, and all she will get are benefits - for example, she can immediately start to consolidate her flower-level strength training, and can go back to my original life.”

"What about your own wishes?" Delphinium looked at Hong Siyu.

"I proposed it myself and agreed to it."

Regarding this question, Hong Siyu raised his head and looked at delphinium seriously: "I said it, senior. Even if it's only for a while, I want to protect this city, the younger generations, and you. "

Delphinium watched her silently.

After a while, she closed her eyes and opened them again, sighing: "Thank you, I'm sorry."

"Senior, there is nothing to apologize for, but you have saved me three times."

Hongsi and subconsciously stroked the cover of the notebook in his hand: "And, as you know, it's mainly...for you."

The second half of her sentence was very quiet, but it was still heard clearly by Delphinium and Emerald.Delphinium pursed her lips, and for some reason she looked away; while Emerald whistled very maliciously.

"Young people, young people." She couldn't help sighing, "It's good to be young."

"So? Now tell me about it, what else do you want?"

Delphinium looked at Emerald expressionlessly, and forcibly brought the topic back on track: "If it's just to ask for my opinion, it seems that there is no need to call me with a magic mirror on the way."

"Oh, that one."

The fairy doll leaned back slightly: "It's actually very simple, it's still about the artificial body. In order to achieve the best fit, we will make her body in the same way as Asagami, but, as you know, she The age and appearance of the main body differ from the real one by nearly 20 years. To make the spare body consistent with the original main body, some additional adjustment costs may be required.”

"'Extra cost', that is to say, there is still a charge?" Delphinium immediately understood what she meant.

"It is accepted, but it can be included in the transaction of the source of beasts."

The goblin doll shook her head: "The main reason is that Chao Yan made another suggestion."

"...What suggestion?" Delphinium turned to look at Hong Siyu again.

"What I'm saying is, if not, let's save money."

Hong Siyu began to play with the notebook in his hand again: "I think it's okay to not adjust it, just use the original appearance as a spare body..."

"If you want to return to normal work and life, there is no need to save this kind of cost."

Delphinium thought about it for a while, and seriously suggested: "Since your Excellency the Chief has promised that there will be no additional fees, there is actually no need for you to worry about this issue."

"It's not a cost consideration."

Hong Siyu's voice became softer and softer: "That is to say, I really hope that I will still be the same after I change back."

Now Delphinium understood what she meant.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand, because the thoughts expressed by Hong Sihe are not without other magical girls in history.

The older one gets, the appearance of the main body begins to enter the stage called "aging", and the more difficult it is to let go of the true youthful appearance.

The true nature of magical girls, although not necessarily all magical girls are at their most prosperous age, but they are all full of youthful vigor and vitality.Even a 30-year-old or 40-year-old woman will have her own charm, but most women still hope that they will be forever young, and magical girls will not be exempt.

In fact, there are indeed some magical girls who joined the Magic Kingdom for such nonsensical reasons. They simply cannot accept the fact that they will gradually grow old after retiring, and choose to live forever as magical girls.

Although Hong Siyu is not that obsessive, it is understandable to want her appearance to look younger... right?

Thinking of this, Delphinium saw Hong Siyu glance at herself with a slightly strange look, and was not sure of her answer for a while.

"It's not impossible."

So she nodded and expressed her thoughts: "It's just that, if the spare body is your 16-year-old appearance, do you still plan to return to work in the Bureau of Different Strategies?"

There was another silence.

"I want to go back." Not long after, Hong Siyu said slowly.

"...Are you planning to come to work with this appearance?"

"Senior, you promised me."

Hong Si and said softly, "I'm back, let me be your secretary."

"I did promise."

Delphinium swallowed inexplicably: "But you used your 16-year-old appearance to come to the Bureau of Different Strategies as my secretary, isn't it a little..."

Speaking of this, she finally realized why these two people used the magic mirror to call her on the way she came.

It turns out that so many things mentioned above are just foreshadowing, and they are just background introductions. The thing that really needs her to accept and decide is never whether Hong Siyu should accept a spare body, but "Whether Lin Yun, director of the Bureau of Different Strategies, wants to accept a spare body?" Don't hire a secretary who looks 16 years old."

"...No way." She almost subconsciously denied it.

"I think it's pretty good, a 16-year-old high school girl secretary."

The emerald on the side said leisurely, ignoring the delphinium's white eyes: "It's just that, don't you often transform into a magical girl in your own body? Just use your current appearance to be the chief, the chief of the elementary school student, the secretary of the high school student, you two Partner, I believe that the motivation of the employees of the Different Policy Bureau will be much higher."

"What the Different Policy Bureau needs is guidance in the direction of the mission, not flashy idols."

Delphinium looked at her indifferently, and unceremoniously dismissed this unreliable opinion: "Take a step back, even if I don't mind a few more rumors in the Bureau of Different Strategies, what about Hong Siyu's identity?" What to do? She can't go back to work under her original name, can she?"

"This is quite simple."

The goblin doll gently closed its paws: "According to this kind of thing, you can just do it casually. Let's say that she is 'Hong Siyu's niece'. Because her aunt was injured, she took the initiative to transfer from Tiandu City to take over her aunt's work. As for the appearance As for the question of being too young, fill in the resume as 25 years old, no matter how others ask, it will be 25 years old."

Delphinium was completely speechless now.

"Okay, if you don't have any comments, just lie down. Chaoyan's problem has almost been settled, and your own problem is still serious. Let's have a few more physical treatments first to stabilize your injury."

Patting the treatment bed in front of him, Emerald urged: "End as soon as possible, I have to study the source of beasts next."

Of course, it turns out that the previous treatment required "undressing" to be pure lies, and this treatment does not need to be performed naked at all.Because of this, Delphinium hardly needs to make any preparations. She only needs to lie down on the treatment bed and become unconscious for a while, and the whole process has been completed.

So much so that when she left the research institute and walked to the corridor with Hong Siyu, she still couldn't figure out how to reject the two people's absurd proposal.

While thinking about it, she released the transformation and returned to Lin Yun's appearance, and walked into the elevator of the office building with Hong Siyu one after the other.

The two stood in the elevator car where no one else was around. Just as Lin Yun was still thinking about the question of "how to refuse", Hong Siyu suddenly spoke in a low voice:

"Senior, if I want to use a new spare body to go to work, the workplace attire I wore before may not be suitable, and I may need to change it."

"Not the right size?"

Lin Yun came back to his senses, looked at Hong Siyu now, and nodded subconsciously: "I feel like I have to buy a few more."

"Yes, you need to buy some new clothes that suit your real appearance."

Hong Siyu followed his words, and finally whispered: "So, can you give me some references?"

There was silence in the elevator.The incandescent lights flickered slightly with the change of floors, and the light in the box was somewhat uncertain.

After a while, Lin Yun understood what she wanted to express, and also understood the emotion contained in this sentence, and his expression was a little complicated for a while.

"...I can go with you."

He lowered his voice: "But, there are some things, thank you, sorry."

"... As I said, there is no need to apologize."

Hong Siyu looked at the blurred reflection on the elevator door, with a calm expression: "Senior, it's fine if you can go with me."

After another moment of silence, the display count on the elevator reached the first floor, and accompanied by a light beep, the elevator door slowly opened in front of the two of them.

Outside the office building is the largest shopping plaza nearby. Just looking out through the elevator and the glass curtain wall of the office building, you can see the flashing neon lights.

"Going there?" Lin Yun looked straight at him, but suddenly asked.

"Well, go there." Hong Siyu also looked forward and answered.

The footsteps of the two were neat, and they stepped out of the elevator door together. Since they met for 20 years, the distance between them seems to have never been as close as it is at this moment.

And the hands of the two are also facing away from each other. Because of the difference in height, there are also high and low between hands.The hand at the lower position was slightly raised during the process of advancing, and the back of the hand touched the other person, but in the end, the owner of the hand put it down, grabbed the hem of his clothes again, and pretended to be with another person naturally. They walked out of the office building side by side.

The front is full of feasting and feasting, and the rear is quiet and desolate.

Human urban civilization has developed in this world for more than a thousand years. In modern cities, the distance between people can be close at hand, but at the same time they are far away.

……

……

Also surrounded by neon lights, walking in the cold wind of a winter night, Lin Xiaolu who had just left the shopping plaza with her companions suddenly stopped, as if feeling something, she turned her head.

She first looked at the gate of the shopping plaza with some doubts, then took two steps back as if to confirm, and walked to the gate.

Looking at the two familiar figures, her expression became more and more puzzled.

"What's the matter?" Xia Liang, who noticed Lin Xiaolu's strange behavior, was carrying big bags and small bags in his hands, and was satisfied with the results of shopping, suddenly turned around and asked.

Lin Xiaolu didn't answer Xia Liang's question.

She first took two steps closer to the door, then rubbed her eyes again as if she was worried that she had misread something.After finally confirming what he saw, he stood there in a daze.

Then, she stared, and slowly opened her mouth wide.

　Today is 6k words, let's take it as an addition of 2k to yesterday's stretching.Thank you to all the book friends who have been rewarding and supporting during the recent unstable update time. I am very touched, very ashamed, and very grateful.
