What should I do if I suddenly become a magical girl?

Chapter 248 Coffee (6K)

In the office, Captain Lei was falling asleep drowsily.

Suddenly someone opened the door and rushed in, patted him on the shoulder in a panic.

"Captain Lei, Captain Lei?"

Slowly raising his head, Captain Lei looked at the operator in front of him, and rubbed his eyes with his hands.

"What's going on? Did something happen again?" He couldn't help asking.

"That fifth-order monster, Li Ping chose to commit suicide in his cell!" said the operator.

Captain Lei immediately stood up from his seat when he heard it, his face changed dramatically.

"what?"

When he rushed to the cell where Li Ping was, what he saw was Li Ping's slowly disintegrated body that turned into black air.

After taking a few glances at Li Ping's body, Captain Lei immediately looked around at the surrounding operators suspiciously.Because of Gao Yuan's affairs ahead, he suspected that the Witch Countermeasure Bureau had been infiltrated again this time.

And Li Ping's death was obviously caused by this ghost.

However, to his surprise, the operators quickly called up the surveillance in the cell, which showed that Li Ping had chosen to die by himself.

"Why is this so?" Captain Lei couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.

Looking at Li Ping in the surveillance, he frowned tightly, lost in thought.At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from the door. Captain Lei turned his head and found that it was Du Bian walking over.

"Just received the news that Li Ping is dead?" Du Bian said softly.

"Yes, he committed suicide." Captain Lei replied. "This makes me very puzzled. If he had an accomplice, he should have waited for the accomplice to rescue him. Maybe it was because he felt that there was no way to escape, so he chose to commit suicide."

Hearing this, Du Bian just shook his head lightly.

"There is another possibility that it is not certain." He replied.

"What do you think?" Captain Lei asked.

"He may have companions, but he also knows that he is deeply trapped in the whole body and cannot escape." Du Bian looked at the few remaining corpses of Li Ping on the ground, and said softly. "He knows that his companions will definitely come to save him, but this is very dangerous for his companions, and it will also expose them to their hidden identities in human society."

"I understand what you mean." Captain Lei speculated along Du Bian's train of thought, "So he would rather choose to die himself, and let his companions give up the idea of ​​saving him, so that they can continue to live well in the human world. .”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but nodded slightly.

Du Bian's guess is very possible.Because Du Bian also said before, this fifth-order monster would expose himself in order to choose to save a little girl.It has the same emotions and ways of thinking as humans, and naturally cherishes its companions very much.

"This is really unexpected." Captain Lei couldn't help but said softly.

Looking at Du Bian in front of him, his mood became complicated.

If it was Du Bian before, he would just scratch his head and say that he didn't know anything, and demanded to leave work immediately.The next day, it was eleven o'clock to come to the Witch Countermeasures Bureau.

"If there is nothing else, I will leave." Du Bian said, "I will continue to pursue this clue."

"Yeah." Captain Lei nodded.

It was already past eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, and Du Bian obviously had no intention of resting.But Captain Lei is not easy to persuade him, because he himself is more anxious than Du Bian.

Li Ping obviously still has many companions lurking in the city. They don't know what kind of identity they are lurking in, and they don't know what their purpose is.

The city remains precarious.

"These monsters must be found and expelled as soon as possible." He said softly.

In the following time, Captain Lei returned to his office as usual.After entering the background website through authorization, he began to inquire about Li Ping's movement track through his bank card, credit card, and payment software bill.

This is a very cumbersome matter, because Li Ping has consumption every day.In order to follow his clue, Captain Lei had no choice but to investigate day by day.

At the same time, in the city shrouded in darkness, a group of black shadows met in a remote alley.

"Old Li is dead." Someone said in a sad tone.

"What's going on? Did someone from the Witch Countermeasure Bureau kill him?" Another person clenched his fists angrily. "Damn it, how did Lao Li get caught?"

"I heard it was to save a little human girl." Someone said. "With Lao Li's temperament, this is a very normal thing."

One of them touched his chin and couldn't help thinking.

"According to common sense, people from the Witch Countermeasure Bureau would not kill Lao Li so rashly." He said calmly. "Because Lao Li is a fifth-order monster, they will definitely determine that Lao Li has companions or organizations, so they want to dig information from him, so they will keep him for some time."

"What do you mean by that?" Everyone asked in confusion.

The person who spoke was silent for a while, and then spoke slowly.

"Lao Li probably knew that we would risk everything to save him, so he chose to commit suicide." He said in a sad tone. "His idea is very simple. He doesn't want to drag us all into the water because of him alone, so he can only choose this way."

After hearing this, everyone fell into silence.

"Old Li, this is true."

At this moment, the leader spoke.

"I think if Lao Li had to make another choice, he would still save a little girl. This is his nature." He said softly, "Since Lao Li is dead, all we have to do is respect his dignity." Choose, do nothing, and continue to live your own peaceful life. Only then will Lao Li rest in peace."

The sad crowd nodded slowly.

"Okay, it's getting late, and it's almost time for everyone to go back." The leader waved his hand.

When Captain Lei woke up, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning.The computer screen in front of him was still on, and it showed Li Ping's daily consumption records.

Through these consumption records, Captain Lei has a general understanding of Li Ping's living habits over the years.

Usually he would go out early in the morning to take the subway to work, and the subway tickets were sold at 06:30, which meant that Li Ping usually got up earlier than 06:30.

On the way to the company after getting off the subway, he would go to the bun shop next to him to buy two meat buns. This was his breakfast.

Judging from his company meal card, he always eats lunch in the company canteen every day, and the consumption amount is the same. Obviously, he eats almost the same food every day.

At night, there are generally only consumption records for subway tickets, but occasionally there are other expenses.But to buy things for his wife and son.

In fact, Li Ping's large expenditures are all spent on his wife and son, while he himself is very frugal.

Captain Lei looked at it, and couldn't help frowning.He felt very bad, because it reminded him of that monster named Cheng Hua.

After waking up, he has been looking at Li Ping's consumption records, hoping to find some clues.Before he knew it, he kept seeing the afternoon.

At this moment, he recalled one thing.

"Let's go to Li Ping's house again." He sighed and stood up from the chair.Soon he drove to Li Ping's house.

At this time, not only Li Ping's wife, but even his son came back from school.Looking at the two people in front of him, Captain Lei was silent for a while, then spoke slowly.

"Last time I lied to you, I am not Li Ping's colleague, but a member of the Witch Countermeasure Bureau." He said calmly, "Unfortunately, Li Ping was killed by a monster a few days ago, and we only discovered his identity now." Corpse."

Yes, that's exactly what Captain Ray was going to do.

Rather than telling his wife and son the truth, saying that Li Ping was occupied by a high-level monster a long time ago and lurking beside them for a long time, it is better to choose to hide the truth and tell them that Li Ping was killed by the monster.

This can make them reluctantly accept some.

But to Captain Lei's surprise, his wife and son fell silent at the same time.

Seeing them like this, Captain Lei couldn't help but widen his eyes, as if he understood something.

"Could it be that you already knew?" He whispered.

After slightly nodding his head, Li Ping's son said softly.

"My father used to drink and gamble every day without doing a proper job. My mother would often get beaten when she tried to persuade him. Sometimes he would hit me when he was drunk. Until one day he suddenly became better."

Li Ping's wife also nodded.

Captain Lei touched his forehead, with a complicated expression on his face.He didn't know whether it was good or bad for the mother and son.

Soon he thought of something, and looked up at the mother and son.

"This high-level monster undoubtedly has its own accomplices. Like him, they all occupied the body of a certain human being and lurked in this city." He stared into the eyes of the mother and son and said, "Please Tell me, has Li Ping been in contact with any suspicious person in recent years?"

Li Ping's wife and son looked at each other and shook their heads.

"I don't know." His wife replied, "Since you are a member of the Witch Countermeasure Bureau, you should have the means to find him, right?"

After realizing that he couldn't get any clues, Captain Lei had to leave slowly.

Li Ping's wife and son watched him leave silently.

Soon, the city fell into darkness again.

In a dark alley somewhere, a Tier [-] monster was walking slowly with a human on its back.This is the prey he just got today.

Just then, a person appeared at the end of the alley.

After seeing the human being in front of him, a fierce expression appeared on the monster's face.But soon he sensed the other party's breath, and put away the idea of ​​doing it.

Because the other party, like him, is a monster that has invaded the human body and hibernated.

"So it's a compatriot." He couldn't help but said.

However, the monster on the opposite side said coldly: "Let go of that human being."

A surprised expression appeared on the face of the third-order monster when he heard it.

"Why? You, a monster, actually want to save this human being?" He couldn't help but said, "I really can't understand."

The monster opposite him said word by word: "I have no objection to you choosing other creatures for dinner, but if a human being is killed, the Witch Countermeasures Bureau will track it down soon, and this will affect our peace. Life."

"You?" The third-tier monster couldn't help frowning.

Just when he was about to make a move, the monster on the opposite side showed his aura.The third-order monster was stunned when it sensed it.

Because the opponent is actually a fifth-order monster.

After sighing, he helplessly put down the human being he was carrying.

"Okay, it's up to you."

The fifth-order monster looked at him and couldn't help frowning.

"Since I chose to invade the human body, I have to learn the human way of life, so that it is easier to integrate into the human world without being discovered." He said. "And human food is actually very delicious. It will be a bit uncomfortable to eat at first, but it will be fine if it lasts for a while."

The third-order monster shook his head.

"I still like fresh flesh and blood." He looked at the unconscious human who he had put down and fell to the ground, with a regretful expression on his face.

The fifth-order monster didn't say much, but came to him, picked up the human being, and left slowly.

Seeing his leaving back, an angry expression gradually appeared on the face of the third-order monster, and he couldn't help clenching his fists.

"I really don't understand." He suppressed his anger and said, "You just mentioned us, so you have many companions, right? Your companions are as powerful as you, right?"

As he spoke, there was a bit of strong resentment in his words.

"You are so powerful, but why do you have to choose to hibernate as human beings, and even deliberately restrain your own strength?"

"The fifth-order monster captured by the Witch Countermeasures Bureau is also your companion, right? Since you are so strong, why don't you go to rescue him?"

"I just can't understand you!" he roared at last.

After hearing his words, the fifth-order monster slowly turned around.The third-order monster who originally planned to continue talking couldn't help being stunned.

Because the eyes of the fifth-order monster are already extremely cold.

"You won't understand, because you are only a third-order monster." He said softly, "In this world, you still have a lot to learn."

"Now get out before I get angry." He looked at the third-tier monster coldly.

The third-tier monster froze for a while, then quickly ran to another alley.After running for a while and confirming that he was safe, he recalled the scene just now, and there was a bit of resentment in his eyes.

"A fifth-level monster is great, isn't it?" He said to himself, "Just wait, one day you and your companions will be in great trouble!"

After feeling the hunger coming from his stomach, he couldn't help but look down at his stomach.

"Hey, the prey that was so hard to get is gone. I have to find new food again."

At around eight o'clock in the evening, Captain Lei finally finished his inquiry.

He still didn't find many suspicious points from Li Ping's consumption records.The only thing he noticed was that Li Ping once went to a coffee shop and consumed a cup of ordinary coffee.

But that was eight years ago.

According to common sense, although a guy like Li Ping doesn't know how to drink coffee, the possibility of his impromptu whim cannot be ruled out.

Captain Lei then checked the coffee shop on the computer.To his surprise, the coffee shop still exists after eight years.

And it's been around for decades.

"Then let's go to the coffee shop and have a look, maybe we can find some clues." He thought silently.

It didn't take long for him to drive to the coffee shop and order a cup of coffee casually.While waiting for the coffee, Captain Lei looked around at everything in the coffee shop.

This coffee shop looks very old and old. It is just a small storefront. Judging from the past customers, they are also regular customers.

The only person responsible for the business in the store is the store manager, who is an old man in his seventies.Although he looks gray-haired and wrinkled on his face, he is still very energetic.

The regular customers in the store obviously know the old man very well, and they would patiently chat with him for a few words when the old man served coffee and refreshments.

Captain Lei watched this scene, his eyes flickering.

It didn't take long for the store manager to bring his coffee over.Captain Lei thanked him softly.After serving coffee to Captain Lei, the shop manager did not leave in a hurry, but sat down beside him, with a gentle smile on his wrinkled face.

"Is this your first time here?" he asked.

Probably because he thought the old man in front of him was very amiable, Captain Lei took a sip of coffee, smiled and said lightly: "I might have been to your store a long time ago, but you didn't recognize me."

The store manager shook his head lightly.

"I have a good memory and can remember everyone who comes to the store," he said, "You are definitely here for the first time."

"En." Captain Lei nodded and took another sip of coffee.

Then his brows gradually relaxed.

"The coffee is really delicious." He said with admiration, "Although I don't drink much coffee, I can taste your heart from it."

"Thank you." The store manager nodded with a sincere smile on his face.

After glancing at the old man in front of him, Captain Lei couldn't help but said softly: "Do you know why I came to your shop specially?"

"I don't know, please explain clearly." The store manager replied.

After looking up at him, Captain Lei said softly.

"Do you remember that a man named Li Ping came to your shop for coffee eight years ago?"

The store manager narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing this, and fell into deep thought.After a long time, he spoke softly.

"I have the impression that he is an ordinary man in his 40s and [-]s. Why are you telling me this?"

Upon hearing this, Captain Lei slowly put down the coffee in his hand, and looked into the store manager's eyes.

"Li Ping died not long ago." He said word by word, "The reason is very simple, because he was a fifth-level monster, so he was expelled by the Witch Countermeasure Bureau."

The store manager didn't show much surprise when he heard the words, but just nodded slightly.

"So that's how it is." He said softly, "I don't know if he liked my coffee or not at that time."

Captain Lei withdrew his gaze from him, picked up the coffee again and took a sip.

"I don't know." He replied, "But I think he should like it very much."

Not long after, he drank the coffee slowly and came to the counter.

"Sorry to bother you," he said to the store manager.

After paying the bill, he walked out of the coffee shop quickly.The store manager silently watched his leaving back, his expression still calm.

Sitting back in the car again, Captain Lei took out the key and started the ignition.

Recalling the store manager's reaction just now, he shook his head slightly.

"His reaction is very normal, there are not many flaws, it seems that I am paranoid."

But what he didn't know was that when he was talking to the store manager in the coffee shop, a regular customer sitting nearby had bruised veins on his hands.

A week later, the investigation of Li Ping's companions still has no clue.

One morning, when Captain Lei came to the office early to continue his investigation, Li You opened the door and walked in.

"Captain Lei, I heard that you are investigating high-level monsters in the city?" he said.

"En." Captain Lei nodded, got up and poured a cup of hot water for Li You and handed it to him. "However, there is still not much progress."

After taking a sip of hot water lightly, Li You looked at him.

"Do you need my help?" he asked.

"No, we don't need it yet." Captain Lei shook his head and said, "These high-level monsters are only at the fifth level if they are exhausted. Your father and I can easily deal with them. You should go about your own business."

Seeing the dark circles in Li You's eyes, he couldn't help being taken aback, and then asked, "Have you not rested recently? Is it because of taking care of the children?"

Hearing this, Li You scratched his head in embarrassment, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Yes, that child likes to sleep during the day, but he always suddenly becomes fussy at night. Yueyue and I basically haven't slept well in the past few days."

Seeing Li You's expression, Captain Lei nodded silently.

"Have you come up with a name for her yet?" he asked.

"Yes, her name is Li Yingxi now." Li You replied. "I made it for her myself."

"Ah."

While Li You was talking with Captain Lei, Du Bian was riding a motorcycle on the city streets at high speed, with a pair of Desert Eagles pinned to his waist.

Unlike Captain Lei, he has already traced a monster and started to capture it.

As he rode his motorcycle forward at high speed, two vigorous figures flew across the sky.

That is Seagull Adi and Seagull Ake.

After two years of running-in, the seagulls and Du Bian reached a tacit understanding and were able to act together smoothly.When Du Bian was chasing the target on a motorcycle, the seagulls flew high into the sky and provided Du Bian with the target's trajectory through their good vision.

"I saw that monster!" Seagull Ake yelled, "He's heading for a certain alley right now!"

"Got it." Du Bian nodded, and drove his motorcycle straight into the alley.

In the alley he saw his target.

It was a human being with blood on the corner of his mouth, or a monster that invaded the human body.
