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

The explosion of the crystal turned into fragments to reflect the flawless light, and the shattered beauty added a sacred aspect to the field at this time. When the cover of the light dissipated, the figure was lying on the ground without a trace of resistance. , The black cloak is covered with densely packed holes, and there are occasional bursts of diffused black smoke coming out of the holes.

Liuli stretched out one foot and stomped hard on Sombra's abdomen. The battle started suddenly and ended extremely quickly. Faced with this kind of audacity, who dared to jump in front of the former S-rank magical girl to seek death, Liuli would unceremoniously use her action to slap the opponent hard, and then stomp her on the ground, giving her the death she deserved.

The bright crystal light condensed in the hand again, the bow body was tightened, the bowstring was pulled to the extreme, and the gathered crystal arrows were accompanied by the falling iris petals.

Sensing the danger from his life, the black figure spoke intermittently in a hoarse and vague voice.

"Don't you... don't want to... see my real face? Just lift the hood... and you will understand... everything..."

"unnecessary."

The voice was not finished, but was interrupted mercilessly by Liuli. She looked coldly at the corpse-like existence under her feet at this time, and exposed her lie without emotion.

"This body is just a high-level puppet that you made with a living person, but with this kind of evil magic, you are really a hopeless scum..."

"As for your true appearance and purpose, don't worry, I will find you out in a short time, and then it will be like this..."

"Destroy!"

With the sound falling, Liuli let go of the bowstring in her hand, the arrow was like the wind, and the bright light penetrated the head of the shadow, turning everything into ashes.

With the release of the power, the crystal bow in Liuli's hand gradually dissipated, and the surrounding Liuli dome also melted into the sky like melting ice and snow.

Back to reality, everything around her has not changed, Liuli is still standing in front of the familiar tombstone, and if she really observes carefully, perhaps the only change is that there is a headless corpse at the girl's feet.

All the magic power was released here, she looked back and took a deep look at the smiling girl on the tombstone, then bowed deeply, and the figure gradually moved away.

"Goodbye, Sister Qingyao...I'm going to do what I should do..."

Chapter 47 The Problem

At six o'clock in the afternoon, in the Jinling City Policy Bureau, the originally spacious command room, at this time, the mechanical metal door was closed tightly, and the internal staff also received relevant notices during this period, and could not enter the command room.

At this time, inside the command room, there are only two figures sitting opposite each other in the spacious space. Jiang Lanxin is lying on the desk, drinking tea in one hand. All the information and notices came out, frowning...

On the other side, Lin Ran was wearing casual clothes, with his legs crossed, sitting on a chair and staring blankly at the building. The sky outside the glass seemed to be in a daze.

"I said, Lin Ran, why are you always making trouble for me? How long has it been since you went to the next door? You have caused such a big incident..."

Jiang Lanxin looked at Lin Ran's divine appearance, and patted the table irritably.

"What can I do? Being followed and threatened, you let me swallow my anger? In fact, these are okay, but you don't know what that guy said..."

Lin Ran snorted softly, and seemed to be everywhere.

"Of course I know, but I'm also worried about your problem. You are now in the files of the War Strategy Bureau and the Magic Kingdom, but you are a special caretaker. If you make a little more noise, what kind of upper-level people will be aroused? The attention of the management staff, when someone sends a lot of magical girls to hunt you down, how do you ask me to help you?"

"Remember, I'm just a small branch chief, and I won't have the ability to fish you out of the magic kingdom when the time comes, and..."

"My old friend, please be quiet next time. Don't kill people like today and walk away without caring. You must at least save the battle scene! It's a good thing you called me, otherwise today's matter will not be able to come to fruition!"

Facing Jiang Lanxin's earnest persuasion, Lin Ran felt a little embarrassed after listening to Jiang Lanxin's earnest persuasion. He blushed, then stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and said with some guilt.

"Okay, I know. At that time, it was fighting with the boss. You also know Liuli's temper after being angered. It's good not to think that guy has thousands of knives. If I was there at that time, there would never be such a problem."

"Don't play Lu Xun with me here. Is it Zhou Shuren's word game? It makes the two of us seem like we don't know that you are Liuli. I just want you to pay attention and restrain your violent temper. I don't understand. Now, where did Liuli, who used to be elegant and gentle in appearance and personality, go? Why hasn’t he changed his temper to such a smelly look after a few years?!”

"If you haven't lost your head this time, remember to call after the fight, and we acted fast enough, the driver handled the scene quickly, let me tell you, today's matter will never end..."

At this time, Lin Ran has returned to the state of a normal person. It has only been two hours since he started the killing spree. At this time, the scene in the cemetery has been cleaned up, even if it is checked by professionals. , and it is difficult to find useful evidence.

"Did you check the identity of that person?"

In order to ease the embarrassment, Lin Ran took the initiative to open the topic and ask.

"The corpse has already been checked, and it is confirmed that it is not from our city. We also checked the relevant information in the neighboring city, but we couldn't match the identity, so the identity of this person is probably from other places. He was caught by an evil magician and trained into a puppet. It is difficult to find useful evidence for such an abandoned puppet..."

Jiang Lanxin relieved the irritability in her heart, and said as calmly as possible.

Lin Ran nodded after hearing this, and the result was as he expected. The puppet is an extremely useful consumable, with various functions and vivid appearance. Once discovered, the operator can use the puppet to Release most of the abilities, even if you can't beat them, throwing away the puppet is just a loss of body...

For this kind of inhuman magician, human life is the easiest thing to obtain, and it is also the least valuable thing.

"So you are sure you have explained the matter clearly, are you not missing anything?"

Jiang Lanxin asked again, what happened this time was not only because Lin Ran made too much noise, but also partly because of the appearance of the mysterious magician, which made Jiang Lanxin, who had been working leisurely, very busy again.

Unknown dangers appear, and the enemy is still in the dark. This is the enemy that the War Strategy Bureau hates to solve the most. The trouble is difficult to solve.

"No, no, I've told you almost everything about it. The magic allows you to send more people to monitor in every corner of the city, but I think the child's matter is the most urgent thing now."

Lin Ran's eyes gradually became serious. He went to the captain this time not only to visit the dead, but also to seek an answer in his heart.

Now, that strange black figure reappeared. Although it was not the real body, it also made Lin Ran more determined in his inner thoughts.

"Pollution is not produced by the mother of the pollution source, but man-made. The magician is not only making puppets, but also creating pollution. That's why Meng Qianran's child was recruited..."

Jiang Lanxin let out a long sigh, leaned back on the chair, and said a little tiredly.

"I'm also having a headache about this matter. You said that when the child left, I felt uneasy and something bad happened. At first, I thought that Meng Qianran was at most temporarily troubled by public opinion in the society. Originally, I thought that this kind of thing would happen. I just need to use the power of the war strategy bureau to temporarily hide the girl's identity, or send a few people to take the child to live in the next city for a while to avoid the limelight..."

"I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen."

Jiang Lanxin was blaming herself when she talked about Meng Qianran at this time. Regarding the orphanage, they had already sent someone to inquire about it. The two people in the command room had already understood the general matter. After knowing the cause and effect of the matter Afterwards, Jiang Lanxin always believed that a large part of the reason why Meng Qianran was polluted was due to her improper operation at that time.

Seeing his old friend's sad face now, Lin Ran comforted him.

"I can't completely blame you for this matter. In fact, I think it is more of a long-standing fault and problem in policy."

"The times have changed, and the reality has long been different. When the policies and methods are still used before, this reality and logic are derailed, which will inevitably cause problems..."

Hearing this, Jiang Lanxin raised her head and looked at Lin Ran. He knew very well that this was a senior magical girl who had been a long time, and Lin Ran was still very qualified to speak on the issue of magical girl policy.

"It's an era of peace now, unlike in the past. Everyone is living in the days of fear. Under the wave-like attacks of alien beasts, no matter whether it is a magical girl or an ordinary person, no one knows whether they will see the sun of tomorrow. In the choice between fighting and waiting for death, people often grasp the little power of resistance in their hands..."

"In the days when the tip of the knife was licking blood, the magical girl was fighting with death. At that time, if she became a deserter, it was a very serious matter. Disturbing the morale of the army and violating military discipline are unforgivable crimes for both magical girls and soldiers."

Lin Ran raised his head and sighed, as if he had returned to the long past.

Chapter 48 Reality and the Past

"After all, the past is different from the present..."

Holding the teacup in her hand, Jiang Lanxin sighed silently.

"The problem is very obvious, but the modern peace dividend has greatly covered up this problem, so that the biggest problem has been revealed on the child Meng Qianran..."

Lin Ran clasped his fingers on his lap and talked eloquently.

"The current policies and laws are not suitable for magical girls in this era. In the era of peace, girls pay more attention to their own wishes and spiritual needs. It just so happens that magical girls are no longer the only pronoun that symbolizes war at this time. Magical girls are idolized. Under this beautiful appearance, most girls ignore the responsibilities of magical girls and the risks they have to bear..."

"Sixteen years old is a qualified number for a magical girl, but it is not the age for a girl to mature spiritually. Nowadays, people regard magical girls more as a hobby. In addition, alien beasts are not as ferocious as before. A warrior rank is the best. Under the righteous siege of a group of magical girls, the threat of alien beasts seems to be infinitely reduced, or even ignored..."

"Once an unexpected and unexpected danger occurs, breaking this beautiful fantasy, just like we are now... When life is put together with love and ideals, the choice is no longer a choice."

"Fundamentally speaking, this problem is not the fault of the children, nor the fault of the policy itself, but the serious policy lag caused by the upper management's serious divorce from reality."

Ordinary magical girls who are in the upper management of the Magic Kingdom may still feel awe and say something taboo, but who is Lin Ran?That is the target of the magical girl form being hunted down by a group of S-rank magical girls. They have committed such a big thing, do they still care about such a little bit of radical remarks?

Hearing this, Jiang Lan nodded thoughtfully, but then smiled.

"Your remarks remind me of an example!"

"What strength, let's hear it."

"The Xiong Country next door seemed to be like this during the previous human wars. When resisting the invasion of foreign enemies, in order to ensure that the limited resources in the city can be fully utilized and ensure military industry, the Xiong Country at that time seemed to implement wartime communism. All the food in the hands of citizens was handed over and distributed by the state. This method played a big role in the war. Later, after repelling the foreign enemies, this policy was still implemented inside the city, but the citizens in the city were not happy..."

After hearing this, Lin Ran nodded with a chuckle, then took a sip of the black tea in the cup, and continued to comment.

"The reason is this. The current problem is essentially the same as the implementation of Xiongguo's policy. When foreign enemies invade, the lives of citizens in the city cannot be guaranteed. At this time, the biggest premise of uniformly handing over food to guarantee military industry and distribution to every citizen is to protect their own lives. After all, if the army in the city has no food to eat, it will naturally be unable to win a battle. It is also a voluntary compromise made by citizens to ensure their own safety..."

"At the same time, this is also the same as the magical girls in the past. At that time, the beasts were so cruel and turbulent. Even with the desperate protection of the magical girls, the people in the city still could not guarantee their own safety. At this time, the magical girls Coercive policies were actually not unacceptable in that era. After all, you couldn’t even guarantee the safety of yourself and your family. If you were presented with an opportunity to resist, would you refuse? It’s possible not to be a magical girl. You will die, and you may die if you become a magical girl. Anyway, you will die, so why not seize that opportunity? In that era, the important thing is not one's own wishes, but to save one's own life first."

At this point in Jiang Lan's mind, she finally nodded in complete understanding.

"I understand that the policies of different periods should be changed in accordance with the changes of the times. It is like a special period. The implementation of wartime communism in Xiongguo is in line with the requirements of the times. But once the special period is over, such mandatory measures will make citizens feel constrained, and then there will be a backlash. The solution is naturally the new economic policy in the later period. Now, the policy on magical girls is the same!"

Jiang Lan looked at Lin Ran with piercing eyes. The young man took a sip of tea and nodded.

"The policy needs to be changed. In times of peace, the mandatory service of magical girls is no longer applicable. Of course, no longer mandatory at this point does not mean that there is no need to pay responsibilities, but negotiations should be made when the contractor is at an appropriate age and understands all the risks and responsibilities that magical girls have to bear."

At this point, Jiang Lanxin almost patted the table excitedly.

"It turns out that there are still such a big loophole in the policy, and I didn't find it for a while. It seems that I have to ask you, an old expert, this question."

"Let's not talk about whether you are an expert or not. Don't be too happy. Even if you know the problem and the solution, so what? Don't forget, you are just a small branch manager, my old friend. You won't be arrogant enough to think that your opinions can be passed on through the upper layers of the organization, and finally accepted by those stubborn and rotten higher-ups, right?"

Looking at Lin Ran's slightly provocative eyes, Jiang Lan felt a little angry for a while, but after thinking about the reality for a while, she became discouraged again and lay down on the table unwillingly.

What others said is indeed true. As a branch manager, even if she knows the root of the problem and the solution, it will not help. To solve this kind of matter, it is best to have a person with status and actual rights to propose it. Only with a large enough impact can those high-level studies be finally resolved.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lanxin's eyes suddenly fixed on Lin Ran in front of her.

"Why, you keep looking at me. Although my brother is handsome, but you see me every day, you can't be infatuated with me, right?"

Sensing Jiang Lanxin's somewhat hostile comment, Lin Ran shrank back and said half-jokingly.

"I suddenly felt that this method should be solved by Liuli. In fact, it is the most suitable. Look at your strength and your status as an adjudicator. As long as you propose it, it will be difficult not to attract people's attention..."

Hearing Jiang Lanxin's answer, Lin Ran's eyes turned white first, then he scolded with a grin.

"Fart, are you trying to get me into a tiger's mouth? If I used to be able to let Liuli try it, it's a pity that it's impossible now."

"Okay, I knew that was your reaction, that's all right, don't look at me that way, I just said this method unintentionally, think about it, I've helped you so much, it means we are on the same boat, how could I betray you?"

"It's best for you to think this way. Anyway, I'm not a fool. Even if you want to betray me, I must have heard the news and ran away first, but well, the method you just mentioned is not impossible. If Change direction a bit, let's say..."

"For example, if one of the other five adjudicators in the Hall of Judgment happened to pass by Jinling City, you should take this opportunity to make this suggestion to them. I think those guys are quite correct about the actual problem even though they have been in battle for a long time. eyes."

"It's just this kind of thinking, you should think about it. After all, the verdict sent by the Judgment Hall this time is only a super A-level magical girl. Even if you make a pertinent suggestion to her, she will accept it. The influence of power and status is still a little bit..."

Lin Ran's leisurely voice came, and only Jiang Lanxin was left with a water glass, sighing helplessly.

Chapter 49 Attack

In the dead of night, after eating and washing, Lin Ran was lying on the bed, enjoying the rare peace of these days. Looking back, it had been three days since the last mausoleum incident. During these three days, nothing unexpected happened. The evil magician seemed to be frightened by Liuli's violent method. After all, the mind of the puppet and the user are connected.

Nothing happened, the company hadn't fully opened yet, Lin Ran's daily tasks seemed to be nothing other than becoming Liuli as an instructor to teach the two children. Thinking about it this way, he seemed to have returned to the old idler state with nothing to do .

Lying on the pillow and looking at the ceiling, Lin Ran couldn't help but recall the post-war report that Jiang Lanxin had mentioned to him before leaving that day.

"Because you opened the field, you didn't suffer much damage in reality. Except for the obvious depression on the ground, we have already invited professionals to carry out emergency restoration work."

"As for the others, I think you need to thank the magician in some respects. After all, if he hadn't arranged the barrier in advance, your actions, even if they won't be seen by others, will be captured by electronic surveillance..."

"So this matter is also your luck. With the double-layer protection of the domain and the enchantment, from the perspective of magic and physics, your battle process should not be recorded in any way."

"You should take a good rest during this time! Be your instructor. We will pay close attention to the mysterious black figure and artificial pollution you mentioned. Once we find any useful news, we will notify you as soon as possible."

It has been three days now, and there is no news from Jiang Lanxin. However, Lin Ran can also understand that after all, the magician who drove the puppet to experience a severe beating by himself must be more cautious. It may be difficult to find him if a scouting magical girl assists. Now, most of the magical girl power of Jinling City's War Strategy Bureau is now at the headquarters. Now, the power that can be used is probably some trained ordinary people. , and some official magicians with limited power.

With these people, Lin Ran didn't think they had the ability to find each other.

Now the main way to deal with it is to sit quietly on the table, the action is too large and it is easy to scare the snake. Facing such a cunning enemy, maybe it is the only way to wait and see what happens...

In this case, sometimes some opportunities will be lost.

Just as Lin Ran was thinking this way, suddenly the phone with a black screen vibrated on the table, and the loud and heroic singing echoed in his ears again.

"The boundless sky is my love~"

With just one sentence, Lin Ran took the phone over with a deadpan expression, and pressed the answer button.

"Hey, it's so late, what's the matter?"

"Lin Ran, come here quickly, something has happened in the strategy bureau."

Jiang Lanxin's voice on the other end of the phone became unusually serious and cold. Hearing this voice, Lin Ran sat up from the bed in an instant, and then said "um" without any hesitation.

"After the event, be careful!"

The young man hung up the phone, lifted the quilt, and quickly put on the clothes on his body. He suppressed the sound of dressing to an extremely low level. However, just as he walked to the door and was about to open it, the extremely faint sound of the door opening and closing attracted Lin Ran's extremely keen hearing.

Lin Ran leaned against the door and listened carefully to the movement outside the door. With his enhanced sense of hearing, all the faint sounds outside were captured by his sense of hearing.

The extremely tiny sound of feet touching the tiles, the slow and faint sound of shoes being put on, and finally the obvious sound of closing the door.

When the calm outside was restored again, Lin Ran opened the door and walked into the living room. At this time, he went straight to the door of his sister's room. With the faint light, he keenly realized that the door of his sister's room was usually tightly closed, but now, the door lock was half stuck at the joint.

Pushing open the door, the room was really empty.

"It seems that this girl has also been notified?"
