About becoming a magical girl

"Yes, this file was one of the main targets."

"Who else knows about this file?"

Efnir stared straight at the girl.

The girl also looked back at her.

There was a moment of silence between the two of them, and the girl suddenly showed a faint smile.

"I know what you're thinking, Ms. Evenier. You're thinking of killing me, right? But please be a little more sober. Now that I've got this kind of thing, how can I only keep one copy? This file has already been sent back, and it's too late for you to think about it."

Efnir narrowed his eyes slightly, and pointed the gun at the girl's heart.

"please wait a while!"

The girl raised her almost broken left hand in panic. She looked at the gun point in front of her with some fear, took a deep breath to force herself to calm down, and said quickly.

"Don't kill me yet, Miss Avenil, let's make a deal."

The girl leaned over in pain, staring carefully at Evenier's extremely cold eyes, and pursed her lips.

"What I'm showing you is just a part of what I left behind. I secretly left a few copies of that document, posted it on the Internet and set up a scheduled sending, so it's useless for you to kill me now!"

The girl paused and added.

"Then, the deal is—you let me leave here safely. In exchange, I will keep your secrets tight-lipped. You can stay here and continue to play house with your sister, or find another way to leave here earlier. Anyway, those guys' 'plans' have just started and they won't come to you right away. And I will leave this city quietly, and I will never cause you any trouble. What do you think? The leads are then deleted, the choice is yours."

The girl pursed her lips and looked at Efnir.

"Personally, I really hope that you can accept this condition. I don't want to end my life as an 'abandoned son'. Besides, I still have things to do...Of course, this is a secret. I will tell you if you agree."

……

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

The place Efnir longs for...is not the future, but a place called "the past".

The dream when I was a child will become cold and narrow when I grow up. Evenier likes to look at her sister like that at that time, guarding everything that is simple but happy.

but……

In this increasingly collapsing world, it is more difficult to protect someone than imagined. Even if you stare at her without relaxing for a moment, cracks will appear in the oath soon.

Avenier learned this very early on.

So, she chose to escape...

Watching the people around him fall down one by one, Evenier would also be grateful in the endless pain-it's great that it wasn't Xue Nai who died.

but……

Such shameful security brings misery.

Evenier thought countless times about what to do to protect a person.

What is right and what is wrong.

This question has troubled her for a long time, and has never received an answer.

Efnir held the spear tightly, and was silent for a long time before opening his mouth slowly.

"So, that's what you mean when you say 'I'm very similar to you'?"

"Do you finally understand?"

A smile appeared on the corner of the girl's mouth.

"I've been thinking since I saw that file, you're really interesting... You are fighting as a proxy, and you're hiding your sister's identity on the other. How about you want to 'protect' other people, but you can't find a balance? If destroying this city can save your sister, would you try it?"

There was a glint of expectation in the girl's eyes. She looked at Evenier and tried her best to support herself. The severe pain made her weak, and even a simple movement made her out of breath.

"Well, well... just kidding. Anyway, let's get down to business—how are you thinking? If you let me go, I will leave immediately. I will definitely not cause any trouble to you, and I will not let anyone see me I will leave this city, and we will never meet again..."

"I'd like to try."

Efnir interrupted the girl's words.

The girl was stunned for a while, and looked at Evenier with some surprise.

"What did you say……"

"If destroying the city could save my sister, then I would really like to try it. But... Anyway, I will never do that, because my sister won't want to. If you sadly can understand this, you will find that I am nothing like you."

Efnir lowered his eyes, the sharpness had disappeared from his eyes, replaced by a deep determination.

The girl showed a little astonishment.

Evenier continued.

"So no—I will never let you out of here."

"Huh? Are you serious! Even if your identity and your sister's secret are announced like this, it doesn't matter? Are you willing to go to this extent and not let me go? Are you stupid enough to think that your secret will be blessed after it is revealed?"

The girl frowned tightly and raised her head in disbelief.

"Do you know what other people in this city will think? They will only think that you have shielded your sister, that she has evaded her mission, and then the public opinion will ferment, and your dedication and efforts will be ignored and slandered. Those people you protect will curse your cherished sister and push her into the battlefield, while guys like us will stare at her, trying to get her and use her all the time."

The girl asked loudly.

"You should almost feel it, what is normal in this depleted and rotten world."

"It's not up to you to tell me how I choose. Don't use your pathetic theory to speculate on others."

Efnir retracted the spear and looked at the girl expressionlessly.

"The world I see is different from yours. Although there are countless despairs and darkness, hope and light have never disappeared - all you see with your dirty eyes is darkness and turbidity. You are just escaping, judging others by yourself, and thinking that everyone is as pathetic as you. This kind of thing will never be understood by your poor narrow eyes, right?"

The girl looked up at Evenier, a little surprised, after a long silence, the girl suddenly spoke.

"...then...you will kill me?"

"Not now."

Evenier said.

"But I definitely won't let you go just like that....You don't think that, as the only clue, you can leave safely? Let me tell you too..."

Evenier stared at the girl coldly, and paused every word.

"You and those guys behind you, when you are eyeing my sister, you should be prepared to be driven to death by me. I will pass you, find those guys behind you, and pierce their hearts... none of them Will let it go!"

Efnir squatted down, looked at the girl at the same level, held the gun point with one hand, and the cold light was reflected in the depths of the girl's eyes.

"This is the declaration of war."

……

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

32. Calm

Escape is a shameful and helpless choice.

Because he didn't have enough strength to resist, because he was worried that his recklessness would bring misfortune to Xue Nai, and because he was afraid of witnessing the agent's established fate.

For Evenier, that's probably the case.

In the final analysis, whether escaping is a rebellion against fate or a compromise with fate, Avenier has not yet understood.

But the only thing that is clear and will never back down is that Evenier must protect his sister.

"If someone targets Xue Nai, then I will kill that person without mercy."

Efnir stared closely at the "Apostle" girl, her words were firm and tough.

The girl was stunned.

"That's right...that's how it is...it's really enviable that you can say such a thing in a serious way...well, please allow me to retract my preface. In short, you will never let me go, and I understand this deeply It's..."

The girl sighed and leaned back.

"My way has come to an end... so sad..."

The girl raised her hand as hard as she could, and the skirt and armor on her body turned into star dust, and appeared in her palm as a silver ring.

As if she had been sucked out of her strength in one breath, her whole body became fatigued in an instant, and her face also turned pale.

The girl raised her head with difficulty, looked at Evenier, and breathed weakly.

"This...is my 'holy relic', well, it's what you call the 'beacon'...In short, I surrender, so can you stop pointing that thing at me all the time?"

Efnir drew back the spear, the tip of the spear trembled slightly, stabbed upwards, and precisely lifted the ring from the girl's palm and landed in it.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the object in her hand.

The "Holy Relic" that the girl said was a silver-white ring, which was different from the "Beacon" used by the "Orderer". There was no character logo engraved on the ring, and there were some traces of wear and tear. Avnir's feeling is different from any "beacon" of "Orderer".

"'Holy relic'..."

Although Evenier didn't know much about the "remains", this kind of thing was obviously not a product of the "orderer".

According to Nami Shino, the "apostle" is actually an "agent", then this so-called "holy relic" is actually a "beacon", and there should be no difference.

What is the difference...

"Did 'those guys' give it to you?"

"Ah."

The girl nodded.

"'Remains' product?"

"Even if... you ask me... this kind of thing is not within my reach..."

"You really don't know what to ask, is there cement in your head?"

"Huh!? You bastard..."

The girl tried her best to prop herself up, but looking at Evenier's eyes, she swallowed the words again.

"I advise you not to act strangely. Next, you will be imprisoned and interrogated, so you can take care of yourself."

Efnir clenched the ring tightly, glanced at the weak girl, and connected to the communication.

"This is Evenier, can you hear me?"

……

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

In the distance is a heavy "whale" like a black cloud, and the black smoke is like ink in the water, spreading in the air.

Screeching sirens were heard from all over the street.

Outside the venue, two special disaster division action teams assembled here. As emergency operations forces, they stayed in the disaster area and were on standby as emergency response forces.

Compared with the sports venue in the disaster center area, this is a relatively safe location.

Several armored vehicles were parked next to the hidden building, and some team members led several stranded citizens who were injured and out of touch with the evacuation troops to come here, boarded one of the vehicles and left towards the periphery.

Bai Yan held the weapon in one hand, stood on the top of the building and looked into the venue.

Xue Nai squeezed her fingers tightly, sat silently in the car, poked her head out to look in the direction of the venue.

Fights were taking place in the venue and in the sky, with Efnir and the apostle on one side, and Aisha, the other two agents and the erosion body on the other.

The battle on Aisha's side has come to an end, and under the siege of the three agents, only the "whale", which seems to have no attack method suitable for its size, is left, being surrounded and unable to escape immediately.

And the battle between Evenier and the apostle in the venue has also disappeared.

From the explosion that swept half the venue to the eerie silence now, Xue Nai's heart has been tightly clenched.

The energy response monitoring data retrieved by the "Orderer" headquarters showed that Efnir was still alive, but because she had been disconnected for more than 3 minutes, it was impossible to judge the status quo.

Ouch—

Xue Nai was taken aback by the heavy falling sound, she looked up and saw Bai Yan squatting on the precarious street lamp, with a sullen face and a rather melancholy look.

Xue Nai opened the door and got out of the car, came under the streetlight with some worry, and asked Bai Yan:

"Miss Bai Yan, Miss Evenier...is she alright?"

"Hey? Xiaoxue Nai why did you come out... Huixiu——"

Bai Yan jumped off the street lamp and came to Xue Nai's side.
