Pray and become a magical girl

Chapter 57 - Fellow villagers meet and stab each other in the back
"Ziyuan, punch me with all your strength. I will use this to assess your strength level." Akdorf stood in front of Tan Lin, holding a cushion in his hand.
-
Grandparents!
An Yuxin and Jiang Feier had been pulled into the gravity training room by Ma Guosheng's remote projection for martial arts teaching, and the old man was in a state of anxiety, like an old widower who had met his granddaughter after a long separation.
-
They are actually grandparents!
Miss Xinggong sat in the coffee shop and took a sip of tea angrily. She had never seen such a human side of Ackdorf before.
-
Forget about the two groups of old men, how come even you, the king, are like this? Someone told me before, "After calculation, the women in our team are very strong, so female heroes are not objects of sympathy"!

"bump--!"

Tan Lin punched the mecha's hand with all his strength, but he couldn't even shake him.

"Very good. Although you are only at C level in terms of energy, your strength level is at the upper-middle level of B level. Just like what Xinggong said, you are very suitable for Libra's extreme physics."

As Akdorf said this, he enlarged the forging workshop.

It was a magical scene. While Tan Lin was shocked, he thought of another question, "Senior, if my power level increases, will my current weapon no longer be applicable?"

"Yes, the feel of the weapon is particularly important to the user. It is not good if it is too light or too heavy, so please tell me in time and I will make adjustments."

Akdorf's forging workshop was also full of technological atmosphere. Except for an anvil, Tan Lin didn't recognize any of the others. Flames gushed out, followed by heavy hammering sounds one after another.

The gravity in the gravity training room has increased to ten times. Although Ma Guosheng likes both girls, he still has to be strict where it is necessary.

The two magical girls can now only rely on the operation of magic power to avoid being crushed by gravity, but none of them wants to give up.

"It seems that all the time that belongs to me today has been taken up~" Cheng Yiran's "sad" expression is the "bitter" corner of the physical education teacher's mouth after his class was taken away by other subject teachers.

Well, in fact, Miss Xinggong's heart was so happy that she was about to take off. Not only could she get off work early today, she could even go to Uncle Liang's house for a good meal.
-
Please give me a dozen more such positive colleagues!
……

Zhou Changqing has always had a feeling that this world is a cesspool for those born in the 00s, especially those like him who were born in 04 and 05.

Because of a global epidemic, my summer vacation after graduating from junior high school was one month shorter than others, and I had a hard time getting through the period when the epidemic lasted in high school.

I finally spent a few years of peaceful life in college, carefully avoiding all places where there might be pitfalls, but I was still kicked into it.
-
That’s right, I’m talking about you guys. There are strange beasts in the tunnel!

Zhou Changqing never believed in such exaggerated words as unemployment upon graduation, until it was his turn.
-
No, buddy, I haven’t even graduated yet, and you’re telling me that I’m fucking unemployed!

Well~ Everyone lost their jobs because of the Super Power Era, so it’s actually quite balanced.

However, Zhou Changqing had long been ranked first in his profession in the police academy. As long as he maintained this level until graduation, he would get the best recommendation. In the blink of an eye, all of these turned into nothing. How could he reason with this?

Although everything is on the right track now, the three years of delay made him hate things related to strange beasts even more. So when he learned that there was an organization that believed in strange beasts, his investigation was the most active.

However, at this stage, the only clue they had obtained was the abandoned base of this organization. After a carpet search, this clue was completely invalidated.

Because it was so clean there was not even a single hair to be found, as if a professional had done extremely detailed treatment there.

But the investigation still has to continue. Anyway, we need a general direction of investigation. We can't just run around like a headless fly, right?

Well, that’s what Zhou Changqing did. His intuition told him that the clues would be delivered directly to his hands.

Well~ It's not entirely intuition, the reality also tells him that the security forces in Rongcheng and even the entire Shuzhou are somewhat relaxed, because this is Rongcheng, the city guarded by the legendary third S-level hero, Xinggong himself!
Not only super-powered criminals, but even ordinary criminals have to live in fear here and dare not commit crimes.

However, because of this, all security forces became dependent on this hero and became relatively lax. In many cases, a simple theft case would take two or three days to solve.

Therefore, in Chengdu, there are no major events, but small events happen all the time, so Zhou Changqing believed that those people dared to distribute flyers on the streets.

However, Zhou Changqing felt confused after wandering the streets for a whole day. This was totally unexpected. In such a big city like Chengdu, there was no one to rob or pickpocket on the streets, let alone kidnap people. He almost doubted his own theory.

"Well, let's go back after patrolling this block." The feeling of loss made this young man who was full of righteousness look a little gray.

There's no need to be so anxious, right? Didn't that S-class hero Xinggong pay special attention to this case? So sooner or later, the truth will come out, but that person won't be me.

"Let's take a look along the way." The noisy sound on the roadside caught his attention. "Oh, this restaurant is doing pretty good business. Let's have dinner here tonight."

Zhou Changqing had already turned towards the "Liang Ji Restaurant" and a gust of wind blew towards him. It was not strong, but it was enough to change the trajectory of the bullet.
-
Wait, why is the wind coming from this direction? Don't tell me that someone turned on the fan in April. Chengdu isn't that hot yet.

Seeing this something unusual, he looked up based on his intuition.

The sun was setting and the sky was already half dark, but the sky was cloudless and it was a good day. I guess I could see many stars tonight.

There is nothing in the sky, so what about behind you?

It was an alley sandwiched between two buildings. It was very dark and there was no end in sight.

"I am too suspicious. I must have been too anxious these days. Should I ask Director Cui for a leave to adjust my body?" Zhou Changqing was about to look away, but at this moment, there were figures gathering in the alley, followed by strange yet somewhat familiar shouting and cursing.

"Damn it! Who is so unethical and dumping garbage here again?"

Zhou Changqing's detective radar was activated. That person might not be a member of the organization, but the fact that he would appear there was definitely something wrong!
The alley next to the company has become Cheng Haoran's fixed refresh point. It is nearly thirty meters deep and he has to turn a corner to get out completely, so there is almost no possibility of his identity being exposed.

However, there are also bad places, like here, where you often kick garbage and other things. Our own employees can control it, but the hotel next door can't do anything about it.
-
Should I buy this place as well?
This thought popped up in Cheng Haoran's mind again.

Then, a strong voice brought him back to reality, "Don't move, police!"

Even though he had been a hero for so many years, Cheng Haoran still had a sense of awe for the police officers, so he subconsciously raised his hand and said, "This is a misunderstanding, police comrade, I am a good citizen!"
-
That's not right. I didn't do anything. Isn't this just admitting my guilt? And there's no law prohibiting the use of supernatural powers?

After he finished speaking, he realized the problem with this sentence, but it was too late. Zhou Changqing became more and more convinced of his guess.
-
Let’s trick him first!
"Good citizen? I saw what you were doing!"

If you often walk by the river, you will get your feet wet. I should have thought of this earlier. I shouldn't be so lazy and untransform in the alley. Home is my eternal safe haven!
Of course, it's not completely without a chance to make amends. You can immediately transform and knock out the policeman, and then wait for Capricorn to let him go, or use Lucky Wish when you are in Aries to be Capricorn the next day, or directly switch to the thirteenth form.

While they were brainstorming, Zhou Changqing thought he had met an opponent and kept his mouth shut.

"Now you get out of there slowly!"
-
Sorry, police officer, you can only take a nap first!

But when Cheng Haoran saw the other person's full appearance, his fierce expression immediately turned into surprise.

"Damn it, Lao Zhou!"

“Cheng…Cheng Haoran!”

He is the other protagonist of the book "My Childhood Sweetheart Is a Boy".

After such a long separation, the two young men were so excited to meet each other again that they could not express it in words.

"You're not dead yet!" ×2
"…What are you talking about? When I die, you will have to place one more person on your tablet." ×2
Well, we are childhood friends, and this is the tacit understanding we have.

Zhou Changqing pulled Cheng Haoran out and naturally put his right hand on the other's shoulder.

"Come on, you treat me to a meal."

Cheng Haoran glanced at him and said unhappily, "Don't you think there's something wrong with the subject and guest in your sentence?"

"Haha~ Do we two brothers still care about these?"

"Okay, I happen to know the owner of the store across the street."

As soon as they entered the restaurant, Cheng Haoran called out, "Aunt Zhou, same as always."

After sitting down, Zhou Changqing looked around, trying to find out why this restaurant was so popular.

"You said you know the owner of this store. What is your relationship?" Zhou Changqing asked curiously.

Cheng Haoran shrugged and said indifferently, "They used to be my employees."

After listening to this, Zhou Changqing slapped Cheng Haoran on the back with such force that the programmer started coughing.

"Good for you, kid. You've become a boss. What do you do?"

“Ahem…you’re going to slap me to death!”

Fortunately, his childhood friend is not a psychic, otherwise, after forcing himself to transform in a life-threatening situation, he would be surprised to find that a childhood sweetheart sometimes does not have to be a real girl.

"It's nothing, just a small workshop that makes games, called Yuntian Studio."

“Yuntian… Pfft—what! Yuntian!?”

Zhou Changqing stood up suddenly, his eyes widened, and then he knelt down very sincerely, "Godfather, please accept my greetings!"
