Brother, is there a problem with me being a magical girl?

Finally, at the last moment when the horde of mutated beasts was about to engulf her, she turned her head to look at her former partner, who was lively and active in the day, at that moment, she still smiled as usual, with a smile like a flower.

The girl's face was so clear yet blurred, the pink peach blossoms seemed to drift in the night, when the black tide swallowed up the last trace of pink, the last words echoed in the silent air.

"Magic Flash Splash Cannon!"

The magic wand in his hand lit up at that last moment, and at that moment, the light in the center seemed to be brighter than the sun.

In an instant, a huge air wave exploded in the black torrent, and hearing was completely ineffective in front of the huge sound wave. The pink light was like a lit flame meeting the oil flowing everywhere, and the huge energy was burning in the center. Condensed and then completely released, the terrifying shock wave overturned everything present, and the light enveloped the sky, turning into a circular half-arc that gradually expanded and engulfed all the monsters...

A huge magic nuclear explosion exploded in the distance, and the dazzling light made people's vision blank for an instant. After a few seconds, when everything in front of them recovered, the vast battlefield had been flattened. At a glance, the only thing left was the bottomless nuclear explosion pit, and the scattered red rain petals falling in the sky...

……

……

"Senior, senior, senior Liuli..."

"Forehead……"

In a daze, a familiar voice sounded in her ears, and Liuli's thoughts were quickly pulled back. She was a little bit unresponsive and looked at the scene in front of her, the quiet training room, and the two girls in front of her who looked at her with worried expressions.

This is not the battlefield it used to be...

"Senior Liuli, how are you? Just now you seemed to have suddenly lost consciousness, just standing there, no matter what we call you, you can't come back to your senses?"

Lin Yiluo got close to Liuli, and suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Liuli's both.

"Senior Liuli, your hands are so cold, are you feeling unwell?"

"Senior, did you think of something? You seem to be crying..."

When Liuli heard this, she was taken aback for a moment, then broke free from Lin Yiluo's hand, and wiped the corners of her eyes in a hurry. The wetness in her hand was real, and she really cried in the memory just now...

It's really bad for my senior to cry in front of my junior...

Looking at the worry on the faces of the two children, Liuli quickly sorted out her emotions and explained.

"It's okay... Maybe I've been a little tired recently. Well, today's lecture is over. You guys should review carefully. I'll go first..."

Then, before the two girls could react, Liuli pushed the door and walked out.

Nan Sisi and Lin Yiluo hurried to the door, looking at Liuli's slightly frail and lonely back, they couldn't help worrying in their hearts.

Looking at his back, Lin Yiluo couldn't help clenching his fists against his chest, and murmured.

"Liu Li...Senior..."

…………

…………

Before returning to the command room, Liuli had already switched back to Lin Ran's form in the staff changing room, and the extremely dull mood in her heart gradually calmed down after turning back into a boy again.

Lin Ran sat quietly on the stool, looking a little slumped, he sighed, and silently calmed down the remaining emotional fluctuations in his heart.

There are actually many disadvantages in becoming a girl, one of which is what Lin Ran is suffering now. Girls’ emotions are usually too emotional, and Liuli is a girl who has experienced many things. Once memories are produced due to external stimuli, the emotions buried in her heart at that time will spew out uncontrollably.

However, this state will be much better when he becomes a boy. Of course, there must be some influence. Liuli is Lin Ran to a certain extent, and Lin Ran is Liuli.

After regaining his composure, Lin Ran prepared to go to the command room to say hello, report to Jiang Lanxin on the completion of his mission, and then go back. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the door of the command room, he vaguely heard something in the command room. The girl apologized hoarsely.

Lin Ran was curious and wanted to listen closely, but at this moment the door opened suddenly, and a girl in plain clothes hurried out and accidentally bumped into Lin Ran's side. In a daze, there seemed to be a faint tear in the air. After the two collided, the girl got up, but ran away without looking back...

Lin Ran glanced back at the figure behind him, and was more concerned, but he couldn't help muttering.

"Oh, the little girl is getting more and more impatient now..."

After finishing speaking, she stopped thinking about that matter and walked into the office. At this time, Jiang Lanxin was sitting at the desk, looking at a list in her hand as if thinking...

"Jiang Lanxin, the matter is done, and my task is completed."

Lin Ran's voice came out of nowhere, Jiang Lanxin raised her head, smiled and nodded.

"What's the matter, what happened? I see you are full of thoughts, what's the matter?"

Both parties are old friends of each other, Jiang Lanxin knows Lin Ran well enough, and Lin Ran is not different, and Lin Ran still notices the subtle changes in each other's emotions.

"Well, it's not a big deal, it's just that the child may not be thinking about it."

After finishing speaking, he pushed the newly added light blue magic necklace on the table.

When Lin Ran saw the personal information in Jiang Lanxin's hand and the necklace on the table, he immediately understood something.

His eyes slightly narrowed, he looked back at the corridor where there were no people there, and said in a slightly flat tone.

"It seems that another child can't bear such a responsibility, is he ready to escape?"

Chapter 26 Responsibilities and Choices

"Don't look, everyone is gone, do you want to bring her back?"

Jiang Lanxin's helpless voice came from behind, Lin Ran turned around and said with a blank expression on his face.

"It's none of my business, why should I bring her back, I just feel a little curious, just look back..."

Then Lin Ran assumed his familiar standard posture at the same time, leaning his back directly on the podium, supporting the edge of the table with both hands, standing on one foot for support, and raising one foot on the other leg.

"You don't need to blame her in your heart. The girl also has difficulties in her heart. I can understand that she gave up this responsibility."

Jiang Lanxin looked at the personal information in her hand, and sighed softly, but she understood. If Meng Qianran really planned to give up her responsibility as a magical girl, then she would have a lot of troubles to deal with as the head of the branch.

After all, the identity of a magical girl is highly valued by both the Magic Kingdom and the War Strategy Bureau. In this case, once you become a magical girl, if you want to give up this responsibility, there are many follow-up procedures and reviews.

"Why should I blame her? I have no grievances or grudges with her. Standing on the moral high ground and accusing a poor person who has nothing to do with me, I can't do this kind of thing. Besides, I don't think I have the qualifications... ..."

Lin Ran turned his face away, his voice was cold, but the light in those eyes was extremely profound.

Jiang Lanxin raised her head and saw her old friend's appearance, but shook her head helplessly.

"Well, just pretend that I didn't say that just now, but even if you don't criticize, this girl will probably spend her days full of accusations from others..."

Jiang Lanxin was very worried about Meng Qianran's life in the future, otherwise she would not have said that in front of Lin Ran.

"What, always worry about this sad face, give me Kangkang..."

While speaking, before Jiang Lanxin could react, the personal information in her hand was already snatched by Lin Ran.

"Hey, I haven't finished watching yet..."

Jiang Lanxin complained, but obviously Lin Ran ignored her, just looked at the personal information on the paper seriously, and then muttered silently.

"Meng Qianran, female, 16 years old, date of birth March 2, 3, home address: Hope Project Children's Welfare Home, relatives: both parents died, no known relatives... Orphan?"

Seeing this, Lin Ran frowned, and immediately understood that the situation was not simple.

"Is that child an orphan?"

"Yes, most of the selection of magical girls is determined by the magic apostle's own detection in the world. That is to say, most of the candidates for magical girls are random. Since they are random, their family situations are also very strange."

"When that child left, I also talked to her about my heart for a while. I know she is not that kind of bad child. It's just that maybe she lacked love when she was a child. Even if she grows up, she can give her love. Yes, only herself, she is a good girl, she is willing to help others on weekdays, and often helps the elderly with things..."

Like an old mother, Jiang Lanxin narrated Meng Qianran's deeds.

"But even so, she still can't avoid the instinctive desire for life, can't she?"

Lin Ran trembled, and then put the A4 paper full of information on the table.

"Then what are you going to do as the head of the branch?"

Lin Ran asked intentionally or unintentionally.

"What else can I do? I can only do everything I can. If the provincial department sends someone down to inquire later, I will try to help her resist a little bit. The only thing I can do is to reduce the influence of public opinion... ..."

Jiang Lan scratched her hair in distress, which was rare. Obviously, she was also worried about this matter.

"But even so, the child will be in danger..."

Lin Ran leaned on the table and looked at the night sky outside. The sky was full of stars, but there was still a little twilight.

In fact, the two sitting here now know in their hearts what the consequences of voluntarily abandoning the identity of a magical girl are. Magical girls are equivalent to military service in the past. If you have passed the medical examination before and are willing to serve in the military, once you enter the barracks, but want to quit midway due to various reasons, it will be like a deserter. The treatment of a deserter is something no one wants to bear.

In the same way, the current magical girl is equivalent to special military service. Although it is not as hard as ordinary people serving as a soldier, and the tasks during the service are not all training and fighting, but if you quit midway, the impact will be very great.

First of all, the Criticism Report by the War Strategy Bureau is indispensable. This kind of Criticism Report is not the Criticism Reported by individual units, but the Criticism Reported by the official names announced by the TV stations and the Internet in the whole city.

Secondly, many important rights and interests will be denied and restricted in the life choices and civil rights of girls who are criticized in the future.

And the biggest thing is life, the pressure of public opinion, public opinion is like a man-eating tiger, once the target is locked, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"I use my own rights at most here, and don't make fully publicized criticism notices on the Internet, but the orphanage where the child lives will definitely know about this matter, and I can't be sure about how things and public opinion will develop at that time..."

Jiang Lanxin picked up the teacup on the table and held it tightly. At this time, her eyes were worried about the future of a girl who was just sixteen or seventeen years old like a flower.

"Is the identity of a magical girl so important? I think it's more like a burden sometimes..."

Lin Ran looked at his old friend's frowning face, but he was not polite and sarcastic.

"After all, things are not what you imagined alone. I understand the reason why you said this, but other people don't have the same experience as you. In their eyes, becoming a magical girl is a supreme honor. The orphanage where the girl lives may also be rewarded for Meng Qianran becoming a magical girl..."

"After all, being able to cultivate a magical girl is an honor that many people want. This is not only a personal honor, but also an honor for the group that the child belongs to. But now, in the eyes of others, the child shamelessly It is a disgrace to throw away such an honor..."

"Abandoning the identity of a magical girl is like abandoning her original responsibilities. In the eyes of the public, irresponsible people like this are cast aside everywhere..."

Jiang Lanxin silently took a sip of the tea in the cup and sighed.

"Hey, is it the contradiction between duty and choice again?"

Lin Ran seemed to sigh pointingly.

"Choosing to become a magical girl will face the test of life and death. If you follow your instinct, desire and cherish life, and escape, you will face the blow of the storm of public opinion..."

"What a hassle..."

Lin Ran touched his chin and said silently.

"Well, I am partly responsible for things that have developed to this point. If I had known that a mutant beast would appear that time, I should have taken better defensive measures. In this way, she would not have just become a newcomer at the time and faced that terrifying existence. From my conversation with her, she seemed to have seen the beast eat five or six living people in front of him. Perhaps it was the first time she faced life and death so closely, or it was the instinctive fear of blood. In short, the accident still left a big shadow in her heart. .”

The more Jiang Lanxin thinks about what happened before, the more annoyed she feels. She always feels that perhaps because of her momentary drop of vigilance, the precarious situation that a young girl is now facing is caused.

"Okay, don't worry about this face. It's useless for you to worry about this kind of thing. After all, it's a person's right to choose. Others are not qualified to point out. Life and responsibility are precious and important. In righteousness In front of you, someone may choose duty, driven by instinct, someone may choose safety and life, but no matter how you choose, the choice itself is not wrong..."

"This is a person's freedom and right. There is no distinction between noble and despicable... Those guys who gossip in society and on the Internet are just a group of people who have enough to eat and have nothing to do."

Lin Ran put his arms around his chest and commented like this.

"Well, if only everyone in the society thought like you, I wouldn't be in so much trouble, but unfortunately it's not..."

"Have you hired a psychiatrist for her? Psychological adjustment is also very important. Maybe she can't make a turn in her heart for a while, but will she change with the guidance of others?"

"I've asked, but the doctor also said that the child's mentality is too closed, and she can't change her choice for a while..."

"Actually, to be honest, it is indeed a bit cruel for some sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls to face life and death. I respect her choice, but not everyone respects her behavior."

Having said that, both of them fell into silence. In the end, Lin Ran seemed to feel that he had nothing to say, so he waved his hand.

"Okay, okay, I won't chat with you anymore. After talking so much, I can't figure out why. Anyway, my task for today is finished, and I'm leaving."

"You worked hard today, are you still used to the instructor's task?"

Jiang Lanxin regained her composure when she heard this, and smiled.

"It's okay, but I just can't talk about the past with them, almost made Liuli cry..."

Lin Ran spoke the last sentence in a very low voice, and Jiang Lanxin didn't hear clearly for a while.

"It's okay to talk about the past, but you can't divulge too much information. The verdict of the Judgment Palace has now arrived in Tianhai City, and the next stop is our place. At that time, the super A-level magical girl will definitely come to the War Strategy Bureau for routine inspections. If you miss something important and they catch it as evidence, I can't protect you..."

Jiang Lanxin reminded intentionally or unintentionally.

"Don't worry, what evidence can I have?"

When he said this, it suddenly appeared in Lin Ran's mind that when he and his younger sister Lin Luoyi were taking a break between classes, the girl seemed to say that she liked her outfit today and took a picture of herself.

It's just a photo, and the clothes I'm wearing are rarely recognized by anyone. It's not like I'm wearing a magic dress. Besides, photos are usually placed in messy albums. I think the adjudicator He would not find his sister on purpose, and then by coincidence find his photo in the album.

Thinking of this, Lin Ran felt that it was nothing more than a photo.

"Okay, then I'll go first, remember to go to bed early, you will die suddenly if you work overtime, don't let me see you again at your funeral."

"Shut that stinky mouth of yours, I won't die before you, Guitou Lin..."

The two cursed each other, and after greeting each other, Lin Ran walked away under the dim light, but walking in the corridor, there seemed to be a special light in the young man's eyes.
