Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 71
The footsteps in the corridor on the first floor stopped.

The two men in black robes walking among them raised their heads and looked at the stairs on the second floor vigilantly.

There, Bai Jingxuan lay motionless on the ground, not wanting to get up like a tortoise.

Although she also knew that it was useless, no matter whether she was pretending to be dead or ignorant, there was no way to change the fact that she had been exposed.But it was still difficult for her to accept the failure of escaping in this way.

It would be too inappropriate to suddenly relapse at such a time.

What she suffered from was a congenital disease that could not be diagnosed by a hospital. The cause was unknown, and there was no case like her in the family genetic tree, but it happened to her alone.

The clinical manifestation of this disease is as it is now, the limb muscles suddenly lose control, accompanied by weakness, like partial paralysis.The difference from epilepsy in the traditional sense is that during this process, Bai Jingxuan's thinking is clear and she can perceive time and changes in the external environment normally.

The attacks are irregular and there is nothing in the known medicines for relief.The only good news is that this disease usually only affects skeletal muscle and lasts for a few minutes; Bai Jingxuan remembers hearing a nurse say that if a similar disease affects the heart muscle, she may not be alive now.

But now, no matter which part of the body is affected, it doesn't make any difference to Bai Jingxuan.

The two men in black robes who heard the voice had already walked up the stairs and saw her lying on the steps.

She even saw a man in black robe take out something like a communication device and start reporting his findings to someone.

She wanted to stand up and continue to run away, but the impact of the disease was obviously not over yet, and it would take at least a few minutes for her legs to regain control.

She tried to crawl with her hands supporting her body, but her speed couldn't be faster than two healthy humans.

I'm probably hopeless, and being found by these people shouldn't be a good thing, but it's a pity that I haven't become a magical girl yet.

Bai Jingxuan thought to herself.

No longer struggling, she closed her eyes and accepted her fate.

Then, a pair of hands passed under her armpit and lifted her high.

Immediately afterwards, she felt her body slump again, as if someone had lifted her onto her shoulders.

"It's not time to give up yet!"

A trembling call came from beside my ear.

Opening her eyes, what she saw was the rapidly retreating corridor and the two men in black robes running and chasing in the distance.

Didn't he get caught by them?

Bai Jingxuan was a little dazed for a moment, but she still couldn't figure out the situation she was in, so she tried to turn her head and look at the person who was carrying her.And even if only the back of the head could be seen, the vaguely recognizable figure still allowed her to recognize who the other party was.

"Uncle Tian?"

It was a male nurse named Tian Sheng. Although he was not in charge of taking care of him on weekdays, the two of them had dealt with each other on weekdays, so they were relatively familiar people.

But, where did he appear from, and why is he running away with himself?

She didn't ask this question, so Tian Sheng wouldn't know what she was thinking.But I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, Tian Sheng is also thinking about this right now:

Why is he running away with this child?Why did I come out of that utility room?
Wouldn't it be good to hide inside and wait for rescue?Do you have to come out and seek death?
He knew Bai Jingxuan and knew what happened to this child, so he did have some sympathy for her.But this level of compassion was far from enough to risk his life.

It's just that when he hid in the utility room and saw the child collapsed on the stairs, motionless as if he wanted to die, he moved his feet first.

He pushed open the door that was only ajar, and rushed forward with big strides.

He carried the girl on his shoulders before the terrorists got hold of her, and started running down the corridor on the second floor.

Facing the sudden appearance of Tian Sheng, the people in black robes were only stunned for a moment, and then followed without hesitation. The two groups of people started a chasing battle in the corridor.

Tian Sheng is not a good athlete, and his running speed is not outstanding compared to ordinary adult men. He is in a weak and passive position in the chase.

But the people in black robes who followed were different. They were obviously well-trained and their running speed was faster than Tian Sheng, so even though they started late, the distance between them was constantly shortening.

What was even more dangerous was that when Tian Sheng turned his eyes slightly to the side and looked behind him, he found a purple-black gleam in the hands of the man in black.

——That was the precursor to using the spell.

It seems that there is no way to drag it on, he thought to himself.

"Hurry up, if you fall again, I won't have time to turn around and save you!"

Ignoring the girl's suspicious shout, he gave a loud order.Then he let go of the hand holding Bai Jingxuan's jacket, and instead clamped her calf in the crook of her arm, she took out two square objects like dice from her breast pocket.

This is the technique medium he prepared.

For an ordinary magician to study, master and use spells, the basic elements needed are magic power, soul, and medium.

Magic power is the source of energy for the spell, and only by stimulating and supplying magic power to activate the burn of the spell can the spell be effective.

The soul is the means of manipulating the art, relying on the guidance of the soul to ensure the stability and direction of the art can make the final effect of the art meet one's needs.

The medium is the operation center of the operation. The magician relies on the materials collected in advance, spends a lot of magic power, material resources and time, writes the operation well, and stores and integrates the final results into a small device.

Using the analogy of modern hot weapons, the magic power is the bullet, the soul is the hand, and the medium is the gun.Only by pulling the trigger of the firearm with your hand can the bullet be fired and cause damage.

It's just that, for magicians, their media are hard-burned by their own magic power, so they have a very high consistency with their own magic power fluctuations, and cannot be handed over to outsiders for use.

And the medium also has its durability. As the number of uses increases, the efficiency of its spell release will become lower and lower, and it will eventually be scrapped and unusable.

On that day, the magician can only make the medium corresponding to this kind of spell again.

This also leads to the fact that in modern society, the overall number of magicians is not large. After all, if you want to engage in the research of magic techniques, you must have a relatively extraordinary talent for magic power, and the magic power in most ordinary people is too weak; One must have a high level of education and be able to learn the complex theories of magic formulas; thirdly, there must be corresponding channels to get in touch with the knowledge of magic formulas; on this basis, it is necessary to have enough financial resources to purchase magic materials for making media. Too difficult.

In the end, many magicians who struggled to make ends meet turned to crime.

Tian Sheng thinks he is a good citizen who abides by laws and regulations, and the money he buys materials is all his own hard work, so the progress is relatively slow, and so far he has only barely stepped into the threshold of prying eyes.

The three strength stages of a magician, spying, contacting, and controlling, he is the best rookie.

It is unrealistic to fight head-on with the terrorists behind him, all he can do is delay a little longer.

But right now, he took out his own technique medium, and what he wanted to use was a technique that even a rookie could master—magic barrier.
