Chapter 1179 Rumor Investigation (Walling and floating on the bed)

 In the end, Duanmuhuai still did not take the three people back to the car. The reason is very simple, that is, besides the three of them, there are other people lying around on the ground, who look like victims of the witch's barrier.

Needless to say, the next step was just to make a phone call and go through the process - Duanmuhuai called Yugiri Ayano and Qian Shu, and then AAA sent people over to send all the unconscious people to the hospital for treatment, while DA was responsible for covering up this incident. thing, and at the same time quietly evacuated the surrounding crowd.

“…I didn’t expect that you are actually from the government department…”

 At this moment, the blue-haired girl and others also released their transformations, returned to their original daily attire, and introduced themselves. The blue-haired girl is Nanami Yachiyo, a 19-year-old college student. According to her, she has been active as a magical girl in Kamihama City for seven years.

 Speaking of 19 years old...this is almost expired, right?

 The magical girl who was almost attacked before was named Yui Tsuruno, 17 years old. As for the girl with long pink hair sleeping next to her, she is Tamaki Iroha, who is 15 years old like Tomoe Asami.

anyway………

Duanmuhuai looked at the few people calmly.

 Although Nanami Yachiyo is the oldest in terms of age, Asami Tomoe is far more mature than them in some aspects...

 …“…So, what do you want to know?”

 The disarmed Nanami Yachiyo looked like an ordinary fashionable college student. Although her tone was very cold, her expression could not help but be a little nervous. It's no wonder, after all, even a magical girl cannot compete with the state's violent institutions.

 “About the rumors.”

 “Rumor?”

 For some reason, Duanmuhuai found that Nanami Yachiyo seemed a little shaken when he heard the word "rumor".

 “What rumor?”

“Many magical girls from all over the world claim that they know that as long as they come to Kamihama City, they can be saved. I would like to ask for details about this matter.”

  “I’ve also heard about this matter.”

Facing Duanmuhuai’s inquiry, Nanami Yachiyo was silent for a moment, then spoke.

“To be honest, we are also very troubled. We don’t know where those magical girls got such unfounded news and all came to Kamihama City.”

 “Is it without evidence?”

 “That’s right.”

 “Well, I have a question too.”

At this moment, Asami Tomoe also stepped in. She stared at Nanami Yachiyo, not afraid of the other party's indifference at all, and asked.

“There is a rumor recently that the magical girls in Kamihama gathered all the witches in Kamihama City in order to monopolize the Lament Seed. Do you know about this?”

Hearing Tomoe Mami's question, Nanami Yachiyo gave her a cold look.

 “Do you want to say that this is my fault? Can you please stop unjustly accusing people?”

“Witches from all over the place have gathered in Kamihama. This is true, right? Because of this, the number of witches in the surrounding areas is decreasing sharply.”

“Even so, it has nothing to do with us.”

Nanami Yachiyo snorted coldly.

 “We will solve the problems on our territory ourselves.”

 Speaking of this, Nanami Yachiyo glanced at Duanmuhuai, and then looked away.

“So don’t bring problems on your own territory to Kamihama City.”

“If you want to quarrel, you can go back and quarrel.”

However, Duanmu Huai will not spoil these gangster girls.

“I just want to know that you have been working as a magical girl in this city for so many years and you don’t know anything about these things?”

　　　…………”

“I advise you to think carefully before answering my question, Miss Nanami.”

Duanmu Huai looked at Nanami Yachiyo, his tone was indifferent and calm.

“It depends on whether you continue to live your peaceful daily life tomorrow, or whether you go to eat pork chop rice.”

 “Eight, eight thousand generations...!”

Hearing Duanmuhuai’s threats, Yui Tsuruno next to her was so frightened that she grabbed her arm, and then hurriedly spoke to Duanmuhuai.

"Actually, we came here to investigate the matter about the witch. We really don't know what is going on...!"

 “Oh? Is that so?”

"…………Yes."

Looking at Duanmuhuai, Nanami Yachiyo hesitated for a long time, and then nodded slightly.

"Although I have been active here as a magical girl for a long time, the abnormal phenomenon in Kamihama City only happened not long ago. It was about that time that magical girls gathered because of this. Before that, Kamihama City was just A city like no other.”

 “But the QB is missing, isn’t he?”

 “That’s true.”

 Nanami Yachiyo decisively admitted this fact.

“It was probably around the same time that the mutation occurred. We wanted to find the QB to ask about the situation, but we couldn’t find the QB anywhere. We later discovered that the QBs had completely disappeared from Kamihama City.”

"QB...? Isn't QB a white, red-eyed, long-eared animal that looks like a squirrel?"

"That's true, but it's more like a group than one. To be honest, I don't know exactly how many QB there are, but it will indeed appear in various places and in front of magical girls at any time. If It shouldn’t be possible with just one.”

 “Well...that’s it.”

Hearing Nanami Yachiyo's answer, Duanmuhuai nodded. This answered one of his questions. Therefore, the goal of completely eliminating QB became more difficult.

“So, the lady just said that you are here to investigate this matter. What did you gain?”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　……

Hearing this, Nanami Yachiyo once again glared at Yui Tsuruno. If the other party hadn't been too talkative, the girl wrapped in the cloak in front of her would not have been caught. But unfortunately, it was obviously impossible for her to say it now. There is nothing to gain - after all, there are magical girls on the other side, and everyone is a local fox, pretending to be a fool? "...In fact, we came here not to find information about the witch, but for the child."

"she?"

Seeing Nanami Yachiyo turn his attention to the girl sleeping on the bench, Duanmuhuai also asked curiously.

By the way, it was originally planned to let the girl receive treatment, but Nanami Yachiyo firmly rejected this proposal, and Tomoe Mami also said that the injuries sustained by the magical girl can be recovered by consuming magic power, and no medical treatment is needed at all. , so Duanmu Huai didn't insist.

"Yes, this child... Huan Caiyu came to this city to find her sister Huan You, and we are just helping as locals."

“Oh? So what does it have to do with what’s happening here?”

　　　…………”

"It doesn't matter if you don't say it. We will investigate it ourselves. I advise you not to underestimate our ability to investigate intelligence, including your own intelligence... As long as we want it, there is nothing we can't investigate."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　……

Hearing Duanmu Huai's threat, Yui Tsuruno couldn't help but take a step back, and Nanami Yachiyo also looked livid, but Duanmu Huai was very calm. Just kidding, as a judge, this threat skill is a basic operation. If you can outrun a monk, can you outrun a temple? The Inquisition is not a sneaky secret organization like the Men in Black, but the kind that can kick down doors and walls and even burn you and your neighbors to death.

 Are you playing tricks on me? As long as you're not afraid of being executed as a heretic, just do whatever you want.

“Actually, something called rumors has appeared in Kamihama City recently.”

　　　……the existence of rumors?”

This statement is a bit hard to understand.

“To put it simply, they are rumors and urban rumors. For example, when you are at odds with others, once you say the word break-up, you will be captured by the rumor monster on the break-up ladder..."

 “Is there anything strange about this kind of thing?”

 Duanmu Huai doesn’t find this strange at all. In the past, adults used to scare children like this. If you don’t eat well, a tiger will come and catch you and eat you.

“But in fact, people did disappear, and there were quite a few people. Later, after our investigation, we found that there was a witch-like existence hidden in this rumor of the so-called ladder of separation.”

“Something like a witch?”

“That’s right, and unlike the witch, it will not drop the Seed of Lament when defeated, and its power is so powerful that most magical girls’ attacks will hardly have any effect on it.”

“But what does this have to do with you helping Huan Caiyu find her sister...oh..."

 “Just like you thought.”

 Nanami Yachiyo nodded.

"Before, we accidentally encountered and defeated the rumor monster on the ladder of separation. After that, the missing people came back. Therefore, Huan Iroha believes that her sister may also be because of the rumor monster. She is currently being held captive. Trapped in a world of rumor monsters. And we came here to investigate another rumor monster... In the end, you saw that, unfortunately, it seems that we still haven't found Tamaki Iroha's sister."

"I see."

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai nodded. From a logical point of view, Nanami Yachiyo's explanation is quite smooth and reasonable... huh?

 Wait a minute, according to this statement, the rumor that the magical girl will be saved when she comes to Kamihama City, could it be that there is a similar existence?

 “That’s enough.”

Just when this thought flashed through Duanmu Huai's mind, Nanami Yachiyo spoke unhappily again.

“We have told you everything we know, can you leave now?”

 “Of course, you can go.”

Duanmuhuai nodded, while Nanami Yachiyo turned around and left with Yuigai Tsuruno, carrying the unconscious Tamaki Iroha on her back. After seeing the three of them disappear, Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand and made a gesture.

 “Okay, come out.”

 “Crash.”

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, I saw Yugiri Ayano and Xiaomei Yan, as well as Qian Shu and Kisara coming out of the bushes on both sides. Well, in fact, they had arrived at the scene a long time ago, but they had been there all the time. Hide yourself. Once Nanami Yachiyo and Yuigai Tsuruno show signs of running away, they will swarm forward and subdue the two.

But fortunately, Nanami Yachiyo, as a silly college student with clear eyes, has a relatively clear mind.

 “Miss Ayano?”

Duanmuhuai turned to Yugiri Ayano, who picked up the phone and nodded.

“I have already gone to investigate the information about Nanami Yachiyo, Yuhi Tsuruno and Tamaki Iroha, and I should be able to get a report soon.”

“Where is Xiaomi Homura? Do you think that Tamaki Iroha is the girl you saw in your dream before?”

Duanmu Huai nodded, and then looked at Xiao Meiyan. After all, Duanmu Huai had not forgotten that Xiao Meiyan had once said that she had seen a girl with pink hair in her dream and said to herself that as long as she went to Kamihama City The magical girl can be redeemed, and coupled with the extremely weird form of the previous Huan Caiyu, Duanmu Huai was somewhat suspicious.

"No."

 However, Xiao Meiyan shook her head.

“The girl I saw is a little younger than this classmate, Iroha Tamaki…”

 “Like her sister or something?”

"possible………"

 “Oh...this is interesting.”

Duanmu Huai narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly. Tamaki Iroha came to Kamihama City to find her missing sister, and Xiaomi Homura saw a girl who was younger than Tamaki Iroha but had the same pink hair as her in her dream, telling her that as long as the magical girl came Kamihama City can be saved... Is there no relationship between the two?

ˆAlso about the rumors...

 “Thousands of bunches, wood watch.”

Duanmu Huai turned to the other two people.

"I will give you a task tomorrow. I think you have heard what Nanami Yachiyo just said, so I want you to collect the so-called rumors in this city, such as rumors about someone missing. Today, you are a step too late and have not figured it out. What is it, but once we find it, we almost know what it is, no problem."

“Of course, no problem, Xiao Ai, leave it to us.”

"you sure?"

“Of course, the DA will reimburse the funds anyway, right?”

 Indeed, there is nothing better than traveling at public expense.
