About becoming a magical girl

The battle is over, and the special forces have come to this alley.

Saori waited in the warehouse, and then went outside the house to glance around. Someone upstairs from a distant resident noticed the change here, and some onlookers appeared. Saori glanced at it and lowered her hood.

At this moment, Saori glanced at the wall beside her and stopped.

"..."

Instinctively feeling a little disobedience, Saori frowned slightly.

"Wait, Immortal, I feel something is wrong."

"what happened?"

"I think I may have overlooked something."

"Huh? What's new?"

"Perhaps... there is something interesting, I will contact you later."

At the end of the alley, the figure of the special forces had already appeared in Saori's field of vision. Saori turned her head and stared at the wall, squatted down aside, paused, and gently wiped away the traces on the ground. One place was not obvious Mildew stains appeared in Saori's eyes.

She retreated into the house again and observed it carefully again.

The comparison between the angle of this room and the internal space from the outside and standing inside seems a bit inconsistent, because there are some goods and cabinets stacked inside, so this inconspicuous difference is easily overlooked, even Saori, who has the power of an agent, only suddenly noticed it when she walked out the door.

As long as you observe carefully, you will find that the new and old traces of the wall paint inside and outside the house are very different. It seems that it was redecorated later. Of course, this is nothing special, but in fact the width of the wall seems to be It wasn't the same, and the reason was a wall between the warehouse and the stairwell—a wall so thick it was hard to spot without looking.

"Sure enough..."

Saori tapped the wall with her knuckles. It was obvious that the wall was not decorated with wood or iron, and the interior was not hollow, so it was impossible to hear anything from the feedback of the sound.

In the previous simple search, no secret passage was found in this room-so is it possible that the secret passage is not actually in the room?

Saori stood up and kicked the container over, drawing a striking mark on the wall.

She raised her hand, and the chain slipped from the cuff inch by inch, and then swung it out suddenly, with a bang, the entire wall shattered.

Considering the structural stability of the house, Saori restrained her strength, and did not damage the load-bearing structure. One blow only shattered the wall. She stepped over the container, came to the wall, and kicked again.

At this time, the wall finally collapsed, and the dust rose. A narrow staircase hidden between the two walls appeared in front of Saori’s eyes, which was only enough for one person to pass through. It was obviously a secret passage. A corner of the staircase had been shattered under Saori’s foot. Where is the connection, but it is clear that this room has been remodeled and built to deal with this situation.

"Tsk... Sure enough." Saori frowned, "I found a secret passage in the target warehouse, let me investigate."

"Dark way?"

Before Linghua could reply, Saori jumped up with one hand on the stairs, and came to the attic—the attic was very low, and Saori had to keep her head down. The floor was full of dust, but there were no cobwebs or mildew stains. It seemed to be a specially treated hidden compartment. In the middle part were piled up some bottles, cans, bedding, boxes, and some traces of things that had been placed there. Obviously, the things here have been taken away by the target.

"Undead Plain, there is a self-built mezzanine above the warehouse, let your people pay attention to check it, I will go to the secret passage below to have a look."

"Well, be careful."

Since the work is not over, Fushihara Linghua will not say anything about the vacation. If he can catch up with the target through the clues of the secret passage, this mission will be smooth.

Saori exited from the mezzanine and jumped off directly.

At this time, the people from the special disaster department also came to the warehouse, Saori and their leading captain looked at each other, and each acted separately.

The secret passage extends down to the ground. At a distance of about three meters, I saw an iron door with a little rust. The iron door was unlocked. Strangely, there were two small holes in the door. Saori looked at it. , and quickly identified that it was a bullet hole.

Bullet holes came out of the door, leaving holes in the stairs.

There were still dark red marks on the doorknob, and the yarn weaving twisted a little between his fingers and sniffed.

"Blood?"

Why is there blood?

Target's blood?Why stay here?Target already wounded?

Could it be that the target has already been taken by others before the arrival of the Special Disaster Division?The reason why the target escaped from the secret passage was not to be aware of the actions of the special disaster department in advance, but to escape other dangers?

Gang fight?Or the Avengers?

Saori squinted her eyes, squatted down, observed for a while, and slowly pushed the door open after confirming that there was no bomb trap set on the door.

A dark tunnel appeared in front of Saori's eyes, and the bloodstains on the ground and walls began to spread downwards from here, bloody fingerprints, bullet holes on the wall and door, blood splatters, bullet casings on the ground, and overturned medicine boxes on the ground.

And footprints.

The stairs outside the door were covered by dust, so it was unclear, but here, Saori clearly saw the footprints of two people on the ground, one big and one small.

One is the target... so who is the other?

Without a ray of light, Saori walked down like this, and there was an iron door at the bottom, which was still unlocked, and the blood on the ground stopped abruptly here.

Saori raised her weapon, stood against the wall, and slowly pushed the door open.

squeak-

The sound of the iron door rubbing against each other was extremely ear-piercing in the small space, and the moment the door was pushed open, a pungent smell hit the face - a headless corpse lying on the ground in a prostrate posture.

Rather than saying it is a "headless corpse", it is better to say that the person's head was crushed by some huge force, and the brains and blood sprayed all over the ground and walls, and he was already dead beyond belief. That disgusting smell came from this corpse.

Saori pursed her lips, confirmed that there was no one else here, and walked in to the corpse.

This is just the entrance of an underground passage. There is nothing but this corpse. The corpse is lying on the ground. The clothes on his body appear to be male. The body shape is eight times the same as the target. His hands are stretched forward as if struggling to hold something. , the pistol fell next to the corpse, and the position where the iron door opened happened to be stuck between the elbows of the corpse.

And a line of bloody footprints extended from between the bloodstains, heading deep into the dark passage.

"Immortal Plain," Saori raised her head, looked into the depths of the dark tunnel, and connected to the communication, "There is something wrong here, we may have to work overtime."

……

------------

150. Encounter

Three hours later—

Special Disaster Division Headquarters, War Room.

After the captain of the special operations force reported the mission, Saori found Undead Yuan alone and talked about the secret passage.

"...I know all about the situation," Fushihara Linghua pondered for a moment, then said, "For now, I will rule out the possibility of gang fights and vendettas for the time being."

Immortal Hara Ayaka had confirmed that the deceased was the target, and he was killed in the tunnel the night before the Special Disaster Division began its operation.

Saori ran away, only to find his body.

But it wasn't nothing. Some clues were found in the search of convenience stores and underground passages, and some files that hadn't been cleaned up in his personal computer were found. These are all important information.

Saori asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Let's call some nearby surveillance first, expand the scope, and see if we can find some useful clues—our prey has been hunted by others, and we can't ignore it."

"Ah."

Saori nodded.

Regardless of whether this incident was a coincidence or not, the death of the corpse alone looked a little strange—there was no trace of crushing left on the ground in the tunnel. Judging from the traces of blood and head tissue spreading on the walls and ground at that time, the target's head seemed to have been crushed while kneeling or sitting on the ground, and there were no tools or traces of repeated blows.

To put it simply, the target's head was crushed to pieces in an instant when he was kneeling or sitting on the ground.

This is where the doubts lie.

It is very difficult to crush a human head into that shape by manpower alone, as if it was crushed into pieces by a hydraulic machine. However, there were no other suspicious traces found at the scene, only the string of footprints that Saori found at the beginning.

The footprints were very small, and based on the suspicious footprints, it was determined that they were left by a person weighing less than 60kg. It was obviously not something like an eroded body, and it was different from the panicked footprints left by the target. The footprints seemed to be strolling in a garden.

Regardless of whether the footprints are the murderer or not, a person who can leave footprints walking in the place of the dead is suspicious in itself.

This is very thought-provoking.

What's even more weird is the wound on the corpse.

It was not a knife wound or a gunshot wound, but a bruise left by some kind of external force. The external force was so great that it could break a grown man's bones and pierce his skin. However, there were no abrasions or scratches on the clothes or skin on the surface of the wound, only bruises.

The corpse was like a ball of plasticine, twisted and played with by people bit by bit, and finally its head was clamped off.

This kind of weird injury made Saori and Undead Yuan have to be cautious.

Because the formation of this kind of injury happens to be somewhat similar to the injury caused by the power of the apostle, the mission of the former Banchuan station has just achieved a preliminary victory, and it is not the time to take it lightly.

"Leave this matter to me." Saori said proactively.

"Okay...then I'll ask you one more time," Fushihara Linghua was not polite. Now is the time when manpower is needed. If Saori can assist in the investigation, things will go much smoother. "I will send someone to investigate the clues now. That The underground passages should also be thoroughly searched.”

"Then I'll go first."

Saori left the war room.

……

the other side--

Xue Nai was finally freed from Hanasaka's "enthusiasm". When she left the cafe, she already had several samples of diamond rings in her hand, as well as a business card with Hanasaka's contact information and a discount card.

"Sister Hua Chao is too enthusiastic..."

Xue Nai sighed——Hana Asaka made Xue Nai feel very difficult to get along with, of course, it was because the other party was too enthusiastic.

Hua Zhaocai even wanted to drive Xue Nai and Hua Zuo Qinyin back to the headquarters in person, which was of course impossible, and might reveal their identities, so Xue Nai and Hua Zuo Qinyin tried their best to refuse.

In fact, Hua Zhaocai just wanted to take this opportunity to have a chance encounter with her idol - neither Xue Nai nor Hua Zao Qinyin knew about this.

"yes……"

Hua Zuoqin nodded deeply.

Today's Hua Zhaocai really made Hua Zuo Qinyin re-acquainted, as if she was pretending her usual appearance.

"However, it's not without gains."

Huazaoqin said.

"Yes, she is indeed the daughter of the Huachao family. As long as it is something that money can buy, she can easily get it..." Xue Nai sighed wearily, pinched the discount card in her hand, and looked around, "In short, although I didn't find the style I wanted... But it's good to find a master who can help design and customize it. Although it's a bit expensive, you might be able to get what you want."

Customization - there are dedicated people to take such orders and create a ring that suits your heart.

Of course, the fees will be much more expensive. With the same specifications, the final price of the finished product will be much higher, and now Xue Nai can't afford it.

At this time, the role of an introducer is reflected-Hua Chaocai directly stated that she can serve as Xue Nai's introducer, so that Xue Nai can pay on credit.

Based on Xue Nai's real income level, it can be fully paid in less than a month.

"Let's see tomorrow."

Hua Zaoqin patted her on the shoulder comfortingly, "Don't be discouraged, this is only the first day, and this kind of thing itself is not so easy."

"That being said... I'm just worried that I might be late."

After all, it would take a few days to a week to order a pair of diamond rings, and it would be pointless to miss Naoko's birthday.

"Well, it doesn't matter. Anyway, we'll see it tomorrow. If you like it, let's talk about the price and discuss the time."

Hua Zuoqin sounded relieved, she glanced at the distant sky, took out her mobile phone to check the time, "Ah...it's getting late, let's go back today first? Miss Xiqi will ask me where I am later..."

"Well, let's go back first, Hua Zuo, thank you for today."

"Hey, where is it."

Although the issue of the diamond ring is still ups and downs, other preparations are progressing smoothly. All the invitees expressed their intentions to participate in the birthday party, but they don't know if Senior Saori Uzuki received it from Ms. Undead Hara. to the invitation.

"Miss Shinomi sent a car to pick us up."

"Let's wait over there."

The two walked across the street, away from the vicinity of the coffee shop, also to avoid being seen by Hua Zhaocai.

At this moment, Xue Nai's cell phone rang, "Huh? Information?..."

She swiped open the screen and found that it was Hua Zhaocai who sent the message - before leaving, Xue Nai and Hua Zhaocai exchanged emails and social account addresses, so Hua Zhaocai could find her.

Clicking on the information to check, Xue Nai's face immediately brightened.

"What's wrong?" Hua Zaoqin asked strangely.

"That... Senior sister Hua Chao said she made an appointment with a designer for me, and we will still meet at the coffee shop tomorrow..."

"Designer? Isn't it right?"

Hua Zaoqin was full of suspicion, while Xue Nai was a little helpless.

"Hmm... But the other party seems to have a lot of background... It seems to be some kind of sea anemone."

"Ah? That's not that who, the most famous in Xijing City..."
