Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 220 War Letter
"Oh, where did this cute little girl come from?"

Yuan looked a little surprised by Lin Xiaolu's intrusion, but she was not dissatisfied. She naturally took her hand off Lin Yun's back and moved two steps to the side as if nothing had happened. Her slightly curious eyes moved back and forth between Lin Yun and Lin Xiaolu at the door: "What is the relationship between you two?"

"I'm his daughter." Lin Xiaolu answered as she walked to the desk.

“…This is my daughter.”

Although he was not very willing, Lin Yun had no choice but to answer this way.

From a rational point of view, he did not want to reveal the identity of his family to an enemy from Claw Mark, but the current situation was special. If he dared to say "this is not my daughter", who knows how Lin Xiaolu would make a fuss.

After all, if you put yourself in his shoes, if someone who doesn't know the truth sees the situation in the director's office just now, it would be easy for him to make some wrong associations. He really shouldn't add fuel to the fire at this critical juncture.

"So what you said about being married is true?"

Yuan blinked and said in surprise, "I thought you were just making up an excuse to fool me."

"I think if I use my brain a little bit, I'll know that there's no value in me lying about this kind of thing."

Lin Yun glanced at her sideways: "So what exactly were you going to say just now? You can leave after you finish speaking."

“Is this an order to evict me?”

Yuan narrowed his eyes and smiled: "We were drinking and chatting happily just now, but now you are ignoring me?"

"I hope you can base your words on reality and not fabricate things that never happened."

Lin Yun had a blank expression on his face: "There is no such thing as drinking and chatting happily. You just want to invite someone to drink unilaterally."

"Well... whether what I said is true or not may not have any effect."

Yuan pointed at Lin Xiaolu who was already standing in front of the desk: "Look, she doesn't seem to think so."

Lin Yun certainly knew what his daughter was thinking without her saying anything.

Rather, looking at Lin Xiaolu's half-closed eyes and scrutinizing expression, everyone knows what she is thinking.

"I need an explanation." Seeing that the two had finally stopped talking, she said, "You sent me a text message to get me out of the way, just to meet this woman in the office? Who is she?"

"No problem, I can explain."

Lin Yun answered immediately and raised his hand to signal Lin Xiaolu to calm down: "I did send a text message because I wanted to talk to her, but what we talked about were serious matters, not what you think."

"Ok?"

Lin Xiaolu held the table with both hands, and glanced back and forth between Yuan and Lin Yun's faces: "Serious conversation? Do you need to lie down behind someone and whisper into their ears when you're talking to them?"

Lin Yun was speechless.

No matter from which angle he explained the situation just now, it seemed that he was just trying to cover up the truth. His best plan at the moment was to distance himself from the matter first to avoid making things worse.

"You can understand this as..."

After saying just a few words, Lin Yun had to pause, glanced at Yuan behind him, and continued: "This auntie, she has a relatively open mind in everything she does. This is just her personal style."

"Personal style?" Lin Xiaolu raised her eyebrows.

"Yes, it's a personal style. You can understand that I was just joking just now. There is no emotional connection between her and me."

Thinking he had found a suitable entry point, Lin Yun immediately added: "Think about it from a rational perspective. You are familiar with the situation in our family. If I really just want to find another wife, is it really necessary to hide it from you?"

"Well……"

Lin Xiaolu couldn't help but ponder: "It's not unreasonable?"

"Also, we were just talking about some work-related topics, and because the topic was confidential, I asked you to stay away. I didn't have any other motives."

Raising a finger, Lin Yun took advantage of the situation and continued, "Think back, you wanted to go out for your own reasons, didn't you? Let's prove it against the truth. What if I really wanted to date someone? Even if I called someone when you left, it would take some time for them to get to the Yi Ce Bureau. So even if I deliberately sent you away, there wouldn't be much time for us to spend together. It wouldn't be worth it for me, right?"

"So?" Lin Xiaolu looked as if she was convinced.

"So I have no motivation or logic to do this. She and I don't have any special relationship. We just know each other through work."

Lin Yun concluded: "The truth of the matter is that just as you left, a guest came, and she happened to make a joke that could be misunderstood when you came back... It was just a coincidence."

"I see. This is a coincidence, and that is also a coincidence. It sounds like a real coincidence."

Lin Xiaolu nodded calmly, but just when Lin Yun thought he had successfully convinced his daughter, she asked again: "So, in that case, what work topic were you talking about just now?"

Lin Yun was silent again.

This time it was not because of embarrassment, but because this was a scene he had never wanted to see.

Lin Xiaolu in front of him, although still immature, is also a magical girl representing Fangting City; Yuan behind him is a rebellious magical girl from Claw Mark.

The identities of the two are not to say that they are mortal enemies, but they are definitely incompatible.

If the origins of both parties were not revealed, then this conversation might be able to end normally. However, if Lin Xiaolu and Yuan knew each other's identities as magical girls, then things would definitely not end well.

Therefore, he was destined to be unable to tell Lin Xiaolu the truth in person.

What could he say? "I'm questioning why a claw-scarred magical girl would choose to betray"?

"You want to know?"

At this time, Yuan spoke. She looked at Lin Xiaolu with a smile and said in a tone as if coaxing a child: "Little girl, do you know what your father does for a living?"

"Of course." Lin Xiaolu nodded: "He is the director of the Strategy Bureau."

"Then do you know what the director of the Strategy Bureau does?" Yuan continued to ask.

"What's there to not know? He's in charge of magicians, and is also responsible for cleaning up matters concerning magical girls."

"Yes, indeed, that explains it."

Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "I came to find him to challenge the magical girls of Fangting City on my behalf."

"……what?"

This question came not only from Lin Xiaolu, but also from Lin Yun.

At this moment, after hearing Yuan's answer, he and his daughter looked in Yuan's direction at the same time.

"Why are you all looking at me like that? Didn't the little girl ask me? I just answered her."

Yuan shrugged and said carelessly, "I'm going to fight with the magical girls from your Fangting City tonight. You are the director of the Yi Ce Bureau, so you just need to inform them. This is my real reason for coming here tonight."

"why?"

"Why? Who are you?"

Lin Yun and Lin Xiaolu asked different questions respectively.

"Why? If I really need an answer, it's probably because I have my own boss."

Yuan smiled silently: "As for who I am... I am a bad magical girl, a villain who specifically opposes righteous magical girls."

"…Bad magical girl? What? Are you kidding?"

Lin Xiaolu's first reaction to what the other party said was disbelief. After all, her father had just said that the woman in front of her liked to joke, and the current atmosphere was too relaxed, which did not give her the feeling that "the enemy is right in front of her."

But soon, she could no longer maintain such a relaxed attitude.

Because right in front of her, Yuan stretched out his hand, and inky black fluid metal gathered in his hand and turned into a magic wand.

Not only that, Yuan's eyes had also changed at some point, and the dark eyes had now become a pair of double pupils like a yin-yang fish.

"That's about it, right? Bad magical girl."

With no intention of hiding her identity, Yuan showed her fighting posture in front of the two of them: "How is it? Is she very different from the impression you have of a magical girl?"

To be honest, Lin Yun had seen this attitude of hers many times as Kuei-Chi, so it didn't seem new to him. However, whether it was new or not was not important at this critical moment. When Kuei-Chi took the initiative to show this attitude, Lin Yun knew that some things might be difficult to end.

He stood up almost subconsciously, wanting to tell Lin Xiaolu to "calm down", but the words were already on the tip of his tongue, but he was still a step too late.

Lin Xiaolu has taken out her heart gem.

——"Magic, magic, please stay for a while, take me into that different world, away from my own weakness."

Putting her Heart Seed close to her lips, she whispered her transformation spell, and the Heart Seed responded to her call with the glow of magic.

After the light flashed, the one who appeared in front of Lin Yun again was the magical girl who should be called "White Rose". "I am the magical girl you are looking for."

With both hands clenched, a light blue staff appeared. Lin Xiaolu looked at Yuan with a serious expression: "What is your intention in issuing this so-called declaration of war?"

Without any hesitation, Lin Xiaolu revealed her identity as a magical girl in front of Yuan.

This was also the second time that Lin Xiaolu showed her magical girl side in front of him. But compared to the first time, he wished that this had never happened from the beginning.

In this regard, Lin Yun could only sigh in his heart.

If possible, he really wanted to stop Lin Xiaolu before she revealed her identity. Yuan had obviously never thought that Lin Xiaolu might be a magical girl, and her attitude was just to tease a child. But when she knew that the "little girl" in front of her was a magical girl, the nature of the matter was completely different.

No matter how she thought about it, Lin Xiaolu had no chance of defeating Yuan now. Exposing her identity as a magical girl would only increase the danger, but it was too late to say anything now.

He began to think about what he should do next to overcome the current difficulties.

Should he immediately announce that he would pass the message to Cornflower to divert Yuan's attention? Or should he protest the confrontation between the two as the director of the Strategy Bureau to see if Yuan would give him some face because he had given her money?

Of course, he also had to consider the situation where the two people really started fighting. If he really couldn't stop them, he might have to find a place to transform quickly...

"This really surprised me. I can actually gain something extra by coming to the Strategy Bureau."

While Lin Yun was still thinking about the next countermeasure, Yuan had already responded to Lin Xiaolu: "I am very sure that I came to the Strategy Bureau just on a whim, and I ended up meeting a local magical girl here. Is this really a coincidence?"

"Yeah, I think it's such a coincidence."

Lin Xiaolu tightly grasped the magic wand in her hand, and her tense face showed some nervousness, but she still tried her best not to be overwhelmed by the opponent: "I didn't expect to encounter the rumored 'claw marks' in the Strategy Bureau. Are you the culprits of the recent attacks in Fangting City?"

She actually knew that there was a "claw mark" in Fangting City. The strange fairy who called himself "Fairy Immortal" had told her this before. However, Cuiqiao seemed to intentionally prevent her from meeting the claw mark, so she had only heard of it but never seen it.

Now, when she heard the other party call herself the "Bad Magical Girl", she almost immediately thought of this organization that was already notorious in her cognition.

"The last few times? The culprit? Sorry, I just can't remember this kind of thing."

In response to Lin Xiaolu's question, Yuan just laughed: "It doesn't matter. What happened before is not important. What's important is the next thing, and it was planned entirely by me."

"What exactly are you going to do?"

Yuan's words gave Lin Yun a bad feeling. Combined with the other party's rather strange behavior tonight, he realized that the other party might really be telling the truth.

"I told you, I'm here to challenge all the magical girls in Fangting City."

After restraining the smile on her face, Yuan replied: "Whether you are an old-generation magical girl like Cornflower, or a newcomer like you, or even new friends from outside Fangting City, although I don't know all of them, as long as you want to come, just come. The location is Yinping Mountain on the outskirts of the city."

"Yinping Mountain?" Lin Yun was not unfamiliar with this place name, but even so it could not dispel the doubts in his heart.

"You guys, are you planning to challenge all of us by yourself?"

Lin Xiaolu was concerned about something in another dimension: "No, how do you know there are magical girls from other cities here?"

"When each of you was defeating the remaining beasts, I was watching from the side."

Yuan pointed at Lin Xiaolu and said, "For example, little girl, you have fought in the Sunset District recently. The last beast you dealt with was a gnat, right?"

Lin Xiaolu didn't reply, but her suddenly heavier breathing was enough to reflect her mood.

Because what Yuan said was right, but in her memory, she had never sensed the presence of other magical girls at the scene.

This means that the other party has the ability to make you completely unaware. Under this premise, as long as the other party has the intention to attack you, you would probably have been finished long ago.

No matter how slow she was, Lin Xiaolu should have reacted by now, at least she should have recognized one fact - that is, the person in front of her who called herself "Bad Magic Girl" was very strong, and might even be a powerful enemy that she could not defeat at all in her current state.

"If you have no objections, I will announce the rules."

Seeing that Lin Yun and Lin Xiaolu had nothing to say, Yuan continued, "The scheduled location is the top of Yinping Mountain. The time is up to you. As long as it's tonight, you can come at any time. However, I can only wait until midnight."

"I have set up a ritual on the top of Yinping Mountain. From now on, as long as no one tries to stop it, it will cause a huge explosion at twelve o'clock in the evening, directly destroying the entire mountain and everything around it."

Yuan stretched out his hands and made an "explosion" gesture: "If you want to stop it, your only way is to defeat me and shut it down myself."

"Blow up the whole mountain?"

Lin Yun was a little confused, because in his memory, Yinping Mountain was also extremely remote in the suburbs of Fangting City, and it could be said to be one of the farthest places from the urban area. If only Yinping Mountain was blown up, then apart from the possibility of causing some geological disasters, it would not cause any serious casualties.

But soon, he realized what Yuan was trying to do.

As one of the most remote places in the suburbs, Yinping Mountain is sparsely populated, but it also has another characteristic, which is that it is the outermost area of ​​the entire Fangting City.

And at the outermost part of Fangting City, there is something that must not be damaged - the city's defense network.

The protective net separates human cities from the vast wasteland, ensuring that the dangers and beasts in the wasteland will not harm the city. However, once there are holes in the protective net, a large number of high-level beasts, mutated creatures in the wasteland, and even more terrifying things will enter the city. At that time, the safety of Fangting City will be severely tested.

"It looks like you've figured it out."

Yuan noticed the change in Lin Yun's expression and continued with a smile: "This is my declaration of war. If you don't want the entire Fangting City to fall into crisis, then notify Cornflower."

"…Why do you do this?"

Lin Yun raised this question again.

He couldn't understand Yuan's motive for doing this at this point.

The other party has been in Fangting City for two months. During this period, he even had the opportunity to capture himself and the Source of Beasts in one fell swoop, but he gave up all of them on the grounds of "fairness".

If she wanted to do something to threaten the entire city and use it as a bargaining chip in negotiations with the magical girl, she should have done it before the foreign aid from Baian City arrived. There was no need to delay it until now.

Before, he didn't understand why Yuan, as a "bad guy", was so unconcerned about "doing bad things". Now, he doesn't understand: why would such a person, after giving up countless good opportunities, choose an obviously bad time to do such a thing.

"Bad guys never need a reason to do bad things. You can understand it as New Year's Day, I miss home, so I'm ready to finish the task at hand quickly."

Yuan answered nonchalantly, then walked to the window of the director's office and suddenly opened it: "Well, now that I've had my fill of wine and brought the letter of challenge, I'll go back and wait for your arrival..."

She placed one hand on the windowsill and waved behind her, as if she was about to leave, but her next move was stopped by a beam of magic power that shot out.

The magic beam passed by her face, almost hitting her with just a few millimeters left.

Lin Xiaolu chose to take action here.

"Do you want to run away?"

She pointed her wand at Yuan, her eyes determined: "If you plan to do something so dangerous, then I will never let you leave!"

"…Are you planning to stop me?"

Yuan didn't seem to be angry at Lin Xiaolu's attack at all. He just looked at the place where Lin Xiaolu had just attacked, and then shook his head gently: "Although your fighting spirit is very touching, I'm sorry, I have no interest in bullying children."

"What did you say?" Lin Xiaolu's eyes suddenly widened.

"I mean, I don't want to get into a fight with a kid."

Yuan spread his hands and said helplessly: "Simply bullying the weak is meaningless, and it is not in line with my morality."

"Does blowing up a mountain conform to your moral principles?" Lin Xiaolu asked loudly.

"Yes, I am a bad guy after all, so I have to do what a bad guy does."

Yuan's expression did not change. Instead, he raised his hand and waved politely to the other two people in the director's office: "Then I will leave first."

After saying this, she once again leaned out of the window, with magic power surging around her body, as if she was about to fly away.

"I told you, I won't let you go!"

Almost at the same time, Lin Xiaolu attacked boldly, and this time, she used all her strength. The result of her efforts in recent times - the blazing white magic power enveloped her wand in an instant.

The magic power that exploded behind her pushed Lin Xiaolu forward. She raised her magic wand, with white flames flying around her, and attacked Yuan at an extremely fast speed.

From the first encounter with Black Dawn to the present day, and even after encountering the moth, the power of white magic has always been invincible. Even if the opponent's ability level is far higher than his own, this kind of magic attack can still work.

This time, Lin Xiaolu did not doubt it.

--puff.

However, just after flying out, she could no longer remember what happened.

She couldn't even see clearly what the other person did. After a slight muffled sound, she lost consciousness.

The last thing that remained in his mind was the sonic boom of Yuan breaking through the air and his father's worried call.
