About becoming a magical girl

"That's all, and I still can't see anything."

After all, Xue Nai is just a high school student, and the education she received from childhood has nothing to do with business management. These piles of documents give her a headache.But this kind of thing doesn't need Xue Nai to worry about, she has already handed over the original to Shino Mi Nami, and now there should be a professional team to take over this matter, Xue Nai brought back some copies to look through just to pass Time, take a chance.

Stacking the ledgers neatly in chronological order, Xue Nai pushed the chair away, and fell directly on the bed beside her, burying herself in the soft pillow.

This is Naoko's bedroom, the light fragrance that belongs to Naoko is squeezed out from the cotton wool, wrapping around the tip of Xue Nai's nose.

"Naoko..."

Xue Nai squinted her eyes, hugged the pillow to her chest, and slapped—the slippers hanging on the tip of her toes fell to the floor. There was a faint fragrance, and the fingertips became tighter and tighter, as if to rub the pillow stained with Naoko's smell into his body.

It's been a day, I don't know what's going on with Naoko?

This feeling was not strong when we were together day and night, and even complained more than when I missed, but now I have been tortured by longing and can't sleep even after being separated for a day.

How much she wanted to go to Naoko's side now, but she didn't have the strength to match her strong yearning.What she can do is no different from others, just wait in a safe place, and the dangerous work is left to Naoko.

Xue Nai turned over and raised her hand, the butterfly hairpin shone with a dim silver-gray brilliance under the light.

She stared fixedly at this beacon that had brought countless changes to her life, and the memories of getting along with Naoko in the past month kept flashing in her mind, and finally stayed in the gymnasium to have the first time with "Evenier". The day we met.

Code-named H, she brought her the beacon that was supposed to be kept strictly at the headquarters. Looking back now, Xue Nai can still recall the appearance of the time-named H.

"H..."

Xue Nai murmured, the color of water in her eyes slowly turning, "Why on earth did she give me the beacon..."

Turning sideways, Xue Nai stared at the hairpin lying quietly in the palm of her hand, her eyes became dry unconsciously, and fatigue flooded her heart.

When she got home, she suddenly heard from Hua Zuoqin that today is the school's campus festival.Naoko's birthday is two days away.

As a result, after preparing for so long, the campus festival was missed, and the most important person was not here.

Yes, everything is different from what it used to be.

Gently sniffing the faint fragrance lingering on the tip of the nose, as if Naoko was quietly guarding her here.

"Naoko..."

Xue Nai fell into sleep.

……

The starry night outside Sakai was bright, the cool humid air covered the body surface, and the end of the field of vision shrouded in white mist gradually filled with layers of tulle-like mist.

The temperature dropped after the rain.

Efnir leaned against the half-collapsed wall, reviewing all the clues she knew over and over again, trying to find a breakthrough.Not far from Evenier, an armed vehicle with the logo of Binchuan City parked in the middle of the road, Ma Yu was there, and behind her were Feiyan and Jin, Feiyan still wrapped herself up Strictly speaking, Sumire's restraint remained undiminished.

The three of them were exchanging their findings during the day.

But obviously, their investigations yielded nothing, so the information exchange was doomed to be fruitless, so Evenier did not participate in their conversation, but just listened in on the sidelines.

"It seems that everyone has no results..."

Ma Yan was indeed an experienced agent when she was free from the pressure brought by Avenier. After hesitating for a moment, she opened the map again and quickly wrote a few strokes, "The south that Miss Avenier is in charge of is empty, and I am in charge of the central and western parts..."

As she spoke, her tone paused for a moment, "I didn't find anything either."

"Senior... Since we have spent a whole day and have not gained anything, should we continue the investigation mission?"

It was Sumire who asked the question, "The commander doesn't want us to leave the city for too long."

Ma Yan glanced at the electronic wristband, and it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, which proved that twelve hours had passed since the three of them came here, but during these twelve hours, they didn't find any value. clues.

It is not a good idea to continue this futile search. Generally speaking, it is the best way to go back to the city to report the current situation and make a long-term plan. After all, staying overnight in a dangerous area outside Sakai is not a reasonable choice.

If it was before, of course she would go back home without hesitation.

but now……

Ma Yan pursed her lips, carefully and pretending to be careless, she cast her eyes on Efnir, met Afnir's indifferent eyes and then retracted them for a moment.

This small movement did not escape Sumire's eyes who had been watching Maji.

"We...stay here." Ma Yan hesitated for a moment and said.

"But... the commander's side..."

"Let's explain at the headquarters when I go back, they will understand."

Ma Yu didn't give Sumire a chance to speak.

Sumire fell silent, feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart. Normally, Ma Yu would not be so arbitrary, but after meeting that Evenier, Senior Ma Yu suddenly seemed to be a different person... She bit her lower lip lightly, and glanced in Evenier's direction, but Avenier just glanced at her and then looked away.

Jin stopped talking, Feiyan signed in puzzlement, and Ma Yu made up excuses.

Evenier continued to think silently alone, and after a while, she tapped her leather boots and walked into the night alone.Seeing this, Ma Yan told Jin and Feiyan to stay and guard the camp, while he chased Avenier away.

And Sumire bit her lip, watching Ma Yu's back all the time.

14. Shards and obedience

The night outside Sakai has a dark chill, without the light and warmth given by civilization, the quiet countryside and the scattered ruins left by the old century are filled with layers of unspeakable desolation.

Efnir stared at the wilderness at the end of his vision, the purple light under his eyes was weakly flowing.

There is no human breath here, only a few wild nocturnal animals watching from a distance.However, those wild beasts are not interested in Evenier and others, or they are not willing to approach the town at all, because these places where humans once lived often hide debris or even eroded bodies, although the beasts will not be affected. The effects of erosion energy, residues and erosive bodies don't ignore them.

Strange to say, erosive bodies and residues rarely actively attack creatures other than humans, and excessive erosive energy will not cause their alienation, unless some external factors intervene.

Why are erosion bodies and debris more inclined to attack humans?This is also a topic that human researchers have been debating.

The dark night will not have much impact on the agent, and Evenier chose the place of the conversation under a tree.

"It seems that your opinions are unified?"

She looked at Ma Yan with a half-smile and an uneasy expression.

"Um……"

Ma Yan's voice came from behind, and she followed step by step, even speaking cautiously.

"I am the captain, they will not go against my decision..."

This result did not exceed Avenier's expectation.

After Evenier's careful observation, she found that compared to Yanilas and Iris's performance after being affected by the collapse radiation, she was particularly concerned-she was very obedient and quiet, and did not speak ill or attack others because of losing control of her emotions. On the contrary, her submissive attitude towards Avenir has continued until now.

It's like transforming all the accumulated emotions into some kind of driving force in one go and strengthening the "obedience" psychology. Ma Yan's request to Efnir is almost obedient, provided that this request does not deprive Ma Yan of himself too much, such as suicide, that kind of request is impossible.

From the current point of view, the fragments have brought Avenier a lot of convenience.But at the same time, this strange power also made Evenier shudder—according to the records of the underground research institute, the collapsed fragments are probably just a small part peeled off from a certain relic, but the incredible mysterious functions contained in it But it is far beyond cognition.

Interfering with the flow of the power of order within a certain range will cause the agent to lose energy and lose the ability to fight. At the same time, it will cause the agent to have excessive emotional ups and downs in a certain way, which can also affect the power of code J. If the fragments are like this, then the complete body What is it like?

Throughout the day, Evenier watched Ma Yan's performance, only feeling that his doubts were getting heavier and heavier.

The thought didn't last long. She kept her doubts in her heart and planned to go to the underground research institute to continue searching for clues after returning. The most urgent task now is to catch the clues of Code H, Code J, and the Apostle Organization as soon as possible.

"The way you get along with your team members is really unique. Don't they know your identity? Or...are they also apostles?"

Efnir leaned back against the tree trunk and stared at the mochi in front of him, and glanced in the direction where Sumire and Feiyan were pointingly.

Ma Yu opened his mouth with a complex expression.

"They're not..." Ma Yan read the coldness in Avenir's words, and pursed his lips unnaturally, "They're just ordinary agents..."

"I think I'll believe it?"

Ma Yan closed his mouth.

It is futile to say anything at this time, even if she said it, Evenier has no reason to believe it.

After a day of getting along, Evenier has already figured out the reason why Ma Yan and others came here.In short, he came to investigate the strange situation in Hezuo Town, but Avenir didn't think that things were really that simple.

Similarly, Evenier remained on guard against Sumire and Feiyan. She knew nothing about the situation in Binchuan City, so she had to temporarily list all three agents as having an affair with the Apostle Organization. assumption.

"Let's also exchange information. Of course, there is no need to mention the superficial rhetoric again. Let's talk about something they don't know."

Eveniel smiled.

The "interrogation" during the day was interrupted by Sumire, and they didn't get any valuable information, but now they finally had enough time to chat slowly.

"Well, let's start with you—you seem to have something to say."

Ma Yan hesitated to speak, her lips moved, she hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Actually... I found some interesting things on the water tower in the middle of the town, some combat equipment..."

She didn't know what was going on in Avenier's mind at this time, and she carefully observed Avenier's eyes while talking.

"Those ones……"

"Oh, that's mine."

Evenier didn't hide anything, "I've been here long before you guys, and I've been here for about four days."

Half-truth.

Ma Yu didn't seem surprised by such an answer, so she didn't share her findings when discussing with Jin and Feiyan just now. After hearing Avenier's answer, she finally understood that Avenier had already been to this town before meeting them, so some of the things she discovered so far made sense.

Avenir looked at Ma Yan's expression, and suddenly said: "Look at your expression...you don't think I'm responsible for everything that happened here, do you?"

"Hey?"

Ma Yan was taken aback for a moment - isn't it?

"I know what you're thinking. Let's put it this way, there is another force outside of us." Evenier looked at her and smiled ambiguously. "Indeed, I came here yesterday. But maybe you misunderstood something—I'm not an apostle."

The agent is also qualified and can use the Apostle Beacon. Ma Yu naturally understands this, which is not surprising.

But she never understood how Evenier discovered her identity and what plans she was planning.But these things are meaningless to her now.

As for the "other forces", Ma Yan didn't even have the slightest clue. She just pursed her lips and said nothing, and kept her attitude very low in front of Avenier.

"I just came here to get some things..."

Evenier said, talking about what happened after he came here yesterday.

She didn't relax her vigilance because of Ma's obedience, so she concealed many details, intentionally distorted and hidden the purpose of the mission, told half-truths, and at the same time carefully observed Ma's expression.

But in the end she didn't see anything from Ma Yao's expression - obviously, either Ma Yao was hiding deeply, or Ma Yao really didn't know anything.

……

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

15. Beacons from six years ago

What Evenier said to him was all mixed with truth and falsehood, and it was difficult for Ma Yan to distinguish the intention.

She couldn't choose to hide, she would answer whatever Evenier asked.

Soon, Evenier roughly sorted out Ma Yao's identity.

Ma Yu is indeed a member of the apostle organization, and she infiltrated into Binchuan City due to an erosion disaster. The way she sneaked into Binchuan City is exactly the same as the way Code H and Sakurai Yuki entered Xijing City.

After spending more than three years in Binchuan City, Ma Yan was found to have the potential of being a qualified person, so she took the initiative to apply to join the ranks of agents two years ago.In general, through Ma Yan, Evenier has almost learned that there is indeed an apostle organization within the Orderer organization in Binchuan City, which is not much different from Xijing City a month ago.

But what makes Avnier concerned is that Ma Yu joined the Binchuan City Orderer organization two years ago, but the time she entered Binchuan City as an informant was six years ago.

Six years ago, Ma Yan was only 13 years old at that time, and she was just a little girl, but because of this, no one would doubt her.

In the apostolic organization, girls like her are not uncommon.

Evenier didn't think Ma Yan was lying. Her slow-growing body was proof that she had been exposed to the apostle's power early on. Because of this, she was now an adult, but she still looked like a little girl in middle school.

"You are about the same age as me, of course, I am a little older than you," Avenir turned to Ma Yan and examined, "You have been exposed to this power too early, and it will only deprive you of the possibility of the future. "

The most suitable age for an agent to be attuned for the first time should be between 25 and [-] years old. If it is too early, the body is immature and cannot fully withstand the changes brought by the full power to the qualified person, so it will not be able to achieve the best results. If it exceeds this age, the depth of the coordinator will be greatly reduced and the power will not be able to be used to the extreme.

Because of this, generally speaking, cities will not force qualified persons under the age of 15 to join the ranks of agents.

Ma Yan was only 13 years old when she first entered Synchro, which in itself limited her growth height. If Ma Yan can grow normally, her strength as an agent will be further improved.

"It doesn't matter..." Ma Yan looked at Evenier cautiously, bit his lower lip tightly, and said in a voice that almost came out of his throat, "Whether it is in the People's Federation or the Apostolic Organization, not many people would care about this kind of thing."

Take Feiyan for example, she was tortured by her adoptive parents in her childhood.

Or Saori and Rin, none of them turned 15 when they joined the agency.

Evenier glanced at her, "—Are there many girls like you in the apostolic organization?"
