Yes, I did all this!

"...Mr. Duanmu, I must apologize to you for my rudeness about what happened in the restaurant just now."

"It doesn't matter. After all, anyone would be so angry if they heard that they were going to marry a homeless person."

Duanmumo stood behind her and joked to himself.

"No, that's not what I meant."

Shen Wuyin rubbed the railing, feeling the cold metal texture:

"Mr. Duanmu, do you know what our Shenwu Group has gone through?"

"Not much understanding."

"Then let me tell you..."

Shen Wuyin turned around and looked at Duanmu Mo:

"——Three years ago, before I was kidnapped, Shenwu Group was on the verge of bankruptcy. The suppression by peers caused the company to lose all its talents. At that time, my frail sister was even more seriously ill and could not afford the high-paying The cost of treatment has made our family even worse.”

"That's when my father made a decision: to train me as a tool for political marriage."

Duanmumo looked into Shen Wuyin's eyes, her gaze was extremely calm:

"Although the candidate has not yet been determined, I have chosen to accept it if this can make my parents and sister live a better life."

"...But soon, the surviving Shenwu Group came to Jindai City to seek cooperation. During that period, I was kidnapped by combatants, and something happened that you are familiar with, Mr. Duanmu."

Shen Wuyin looked at him and smiled, sighing with emotion.

——Duanmumo suddenly wanted to know whether the cries they made at that time were worried about their daughter, grieving for the loss of their marriage tool...or the collapse caused by suffering various blows.

Facing Duanmumo's teasing, Shen Wuyin showed an expression of reminiscence:

"Mr. Duanmu, you know, after I met Neville and you, my heart also changed."

She raised her hand and looked at the gem on her wrist.

"Neville knocked down those weirdos arrogantly and unreasonably, took away what he wanted, and left in style. Mr. Duanmu, you were also homeless at that time, but you were so comfortable doing anything... You and He brought me a different side of my own perception.”

Duanmumo replied calmly: "It's really flattering to compare with Neville. I'm not that relaxed."

"It is no longer important what the facts are. What is important is that you gave me a figure to look forward to. From that day on, I began to yearn for such a life - unconsciously, I longed to be free and carefree. Anyone who is bound by anything.”

"So that's when Magical Girl Listening was born."

Duanmumo looked at the loneliness on Shen Wuyin's face: "But now, have you got the freedom you want?"

"..." Shenwuyin did not answer his question directly, but said softly: "Not long after that, I told my parents about my power, and the Shenwu Group also developed because of my power. But on the contrary, those who oppose the Shenwu Group have become his stepping stones..."

Duanmumo had indeed seen some of Lianyin's battles. In her previous battles, although there was some damage to the buildings under the Shenwu Group, thinking about it now, the losses were far less than those of the surrounding companies.

"Although I have not harmed the lives of people related to hostile companies, in the early days, I did not seldom use my abilities to steal the other party's secrets. I also indirectly displaced many people."

"——I became a powerful tool of the Shenwu Group. Looking at the people who were homeless because of me, I wanted to resist, but my father told me that the powerful Shenwu Group would take them in and give them new jobs. , so I could only obey my parents’ arrangements again.”

Shen Wuyin sighed, with a look of helplessness on his face: "I did this for the people who were taken in by the Shenwu Group, and also to prevent my family from falling back into that bleak life again. I also had extravagant hopes and expectations. One day my parents can be satisfied, put down their work temporarily, and the family can enjoy themselves..."

Duanmumo interrupted: "But they chose to abandon you, so you are so angry and disappointed?"

"There is still sadness..." Shen Wuyin nodded slowly.

"Then why do they do this?"

Shenwuyin possesses the power of a magical girl. From a profit perspective, Shenwuyin cannot be given up.

Now her parents wanted to send her away so easily. Duanmumo really couldn't understand why they would do such a wasteful thing.

There was also the insensitivity she showed from time to time that was completely different from that of a magical girl. That weird feeling always lingered in Duanmu Mo's heart.

"——Because I awakened the ability to become a magical girl at the age of sixteen."

Facing Duanmumo's inquiry, Shen Wuyin stroked the gem on her wrist:

"Compared to other magical girls, I awakened too late, so in my second year as a magical girl, when I was eighteen years old, I felt the weakening of my power."

"The weakening of power...can't transform."

She nodded: "Although I am still so powerful in the eyes of outsiders, I know that the power of the magical girl in my body is not as active as it was at the beginning. Sooner or later, I will become an ordinary person."

If magical girls also have talents, I am afraid that Shenwuyin can only be regarded as mediocre. Even though she is powerful, she awakens too late. Perhaps this is the reason why her power declines so quickly.

——In comparison, Xia Yan is also about to reach adulthood, but there are no signs of weakening of her power at all, and she was only ten years old when she awakened her magical girl power.

Could it be that this world is the type where the better the talent, the faster it will awaken, and the longer the power will be maintained?

Duanmumo thought silently and looked at Shen Wuyin: "So, your parents plan to kick you out after you completely become an ordinary person?"

"When I heard that sentence, in addition to sadness, I also felt powerless - I had obviously done so much, but in the end, my father was still wary of me, or in other words, wary of my identity as his daughter. "

The breeze blew, Shen Wuyin lifted her brilliant blond hair and looked into the distance sadly.

"Then what will you do next?"

"Yes, what should we do?" Facing Duanmumo's inquiry, Shen Wuyin said with emotion:

"As long as I still have the power of a magical girl, I will do things for the Shenwu Group. If one day, I really become an ordinary person...then I will leave on my own."

"In the end, do you still choose to obey their instructions?"

Duanmumo shook his head in disappointment, folded his arms and leaned aside: "This is completely different from the person you wanted to be before you had the power. Don't you want that freedom?"

"My family's life and my own ideals have to be sacrificed." Shen Wuyin turned his head, looked at Duanmumo and smiled helplessly: "I was prepared when I told my family about my identity. ....."

"..."

"——Thank you for listening to me, Mr. Duanmu, I feel much better." She raised her head and looked at the moonlight, and said softly: "It's time for me to return to my parents."

"Let's go slowly." Duanmumo nodded and didn't do anything to persuade him.

"I hope our relationship won't get worse because of what happened to my parents... Goodbye."

Shen Wuyin stroked Duanmu Mo's shoulder and walked away with him.

squeak——

In the single room of the hotel, Duanmumo pushed the door open and let out a breath.

"Ah, welcome back."

In the narrow room, Xia Yan was still wearing the bathrobe, sitting in front of the TV with her legs crossed, playing games.

After seeing Duanmumo come back, she showed dissatisfaction and confusion: "Where have you been? Have you been gone for so long?"

"I went out to solve some problems. I went back to Jindai City to pick up your and my clothes and IDs."

He sighed and placed a large bag on the bed.

"Oh, why didn't you tell me? I still have some game discs that I want to bring over." Xia Yan opened the bag and looked at Duanmumo again and asked.

"At least I brought you the handheld device."

Duanmumo took out the bathrobe from the cabinet on the side, turned around and walked into the bathroom:

"Is there any weirdo activity today?"

"Well, not long ago I felt the aura of a weirdo, but it was quickly dealt with. It should be Huangyi or Lingyin."

Facing Xia Yan's answer, Duanmumo said casually and turned on the shower.

"call......"

After pouring hot water over his head, Duanmu Mo breathed a sigh of relief:

"What a pity...there is no bathtub."

"How about we change to a room with a bathtub? Hmm...but this is not bad either."

Looking across the bathroom door, Xia Yan hesitated for a while and said.

She also wanted to change to a higher-end room, but after thinking about it, this single room was enough.

Duanmumo moved his lips: "Actually, I looked at other hotels this morning and found a very good room."

"Then what?"

"It was already decided, but I offended the owner who was related to that hotel and I couldn't stay here."

"How did you provoke him? Did he bully you?"

Hearing these words, Xia Yan's tone was a little low.

If Duanmumo really wants to know who it is, she will probably demolish the hotel while attacking weirdos next time she transforms.

She is different from Shen Wuyin. Although she will also fight to save people, she has clear priorities and gives priority to those around her.

"I didn't like him, so I threw a glass of wine in their faces."

"well done."

Although Xia Yan didn't understand the details of the matter, since it was Duanmumo who disliked people, there must be something displeasing about that person.

And this way, Duanmumo can't find a new place to live, and the two of them can continue to live in this single room.

——Not long after, Duanmumo walked out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe.

At the same time, Xia Yan also lay on the bed, holding the game console and started playing, looking at the clock on the wall and Duanmu Mo vaguely.

Ignoring Xia Yan's gaze, Duanmumo took out the tablet computer from the bag, set up the computer desk and sat on the bed.

Seeing this, Xia Yan also moved her body, sat up and sat with Duanmu Mo.

Duanmumo casually picked up the remote control beside him and clicked on the news on the TV.

"......Regarding the damage suffered by Fengchuan City, the deputy mayor of Fengchuan City reached a cooperation agreement with the president of Shenwu Group. Shenwu Group began to supply the Security Bureau with Assaulter Armor. I believe that this level of damage will not occur in the future. Now we invite Shenwu Group President: Shenwu Jian to speak."

Hearing the sound of the news, Duanmu Mo's eyes moved slightly away from the computer screen and looked at the TV opposite the bed.

On the TV screen, Shenwu Jian, who had a meal with him not long ago, stood on the stage, smiled and nodded to everyone, and after the applause died down, he said:

"I am honored to cooperate with Fengchuan City. I dared not think of achieving this achievement today a few years ago..."

--Duanmu Mo's brain automatically filtered out those useless nonsense, guessing that the time should be today's noon, and he had not eaten with him yet, and his body had not been splashed with bad wine.

"......In order to deal with the re-attack of combatants or monsters, we have equipped the police with a newer model of Assaulter Armor, which I named 'Assaulter Type 2'!"

Amid the exclamations of everyone, heavy footsteps sounded, and a humanoid figure full of mechanical sharpness walked up.

The body is covered with an iron-gray metal shell, the torso is broad and thick, and the hard texture of the metal is thicker than other parts, and the feeling of heaviness is overwhelming.

The joints of the body show different flexibility from other parts, like the fabric of a diving suit, but judging from the structure that is highlighted during the activity, there should be other things inside to ensure protection.

A heavy metal backpack is carried on the back, with weapons such as guns and knives hanging on it. There are similar weapon interfaces on both sides of the thighs, and different weapons can be replaced urgently according to different tasks.

——This Assaulter Type 2 looks heavier than the previous Assaulter Type 1. It is two heads taller than an ordinary person, with hard edges and corners all over the body, and a sharp and cold feeling.

"Everyone, please look, this is the Striker II armor. Although it looks heavier than the first type, it is more flexible than the first type."

Speaking of this, the Striker II nodded, squatted down and supported his hands on the ground, and completed a handstand in front of the reporters.

Under the flash of the reporters, he raised one hand again and completed a one-handed handstand. It is hard to imagine that someone can complete such a posture wearing such a heavy armor.

A reporter raised his hand, and Shenwu Jian pointed at him: "Please speak."

"Mr. Shenwu, is this level of face-covering helmet necessary? Will it make the wearer unable to see the road clearly?"

"Not at all! The body parts of the Striker II are equipped with the most advanced observation instruments. Whether it is strong light, dark night or dusty environment, the wearer can see clearly, and there is also an upgraded AI to assist in combat. It is impossible to not see the enemy's situation!"

Shenwu Jian said firmly.

At the same time, he also picked up a pen, threw it up, and fell behind the Striker.

The attacker had stood up, but he did not look at Shenwu Jian, nor did he watch his movements. Only when the pen fell did he quickly raise his hand and catch the pen with his backhand.
