Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 132 On the Ceiling
When Delphinium stepped into the gate of the Different Strategy Bureau, as she had seen before, there was not even the slightest light around, and everything in the darkness was silent.

Different from the ordinary darkness caused by lack of light, in the deep space of the Different Strategy Bureau, even with the eyesight of a magical girl, nothing can be seen clearly, only the outline of the object can be vaguely distinguished.

This further shows that there is something wrong with the situation in the Bureau of Different Strategies.

Delphinium stood where it was, and threw the scouting formula that shone with magical light into the hall in front of it. After confirming that there was no hidden ambush in the darkness, she put on several layers of barriers and formally entered it.

Stepping forward, the sound of her footsteps echoed in the empty hall.

Click click click click click click.

As she walked forward, a certain voice came from the darkness.

rustling, rustling.

The subtle and chaotic sounds never stopped.

This made Delphinium stop in an empty hall, looking around strangely.

Why did she feel all this a little familiar?
She continued to move forward, the crisp sound of her heels hitting the ground washed away the surrounding noises, and after a brief silence, some kind of whispering sound was replaced.

There are men and women, old and young, the only thing in common is that they are all smiling.

The laughter awakened delphinium's memory, and finally reminded her of the source of this familiarity—it was the dream she had experienced before.

The hall in the darkness, the laughter from unknown sources, the situation and the scene are all exactly the same as my dream.

Only after realizing this, Delphinium's brows became more and more wrinkled.

She didn't understand how this could be related.

There is no doubt that what she is experiencing now is the reality. So, what was the previous dream?Is it foreknowledge?Is it a warning sign?Or some kind of trap?

The doubts in her heart were not answered, but this did not stop her pace, she just quickened her pace and moved on.

She is not afraid of danger, nor is she afraid of enemies. All she worries about is not being able to find clues and solve problems.

And as she continued to move forward, the snickering around and the echo of her footsteps mixed and overlapped.These voices gradually became sharper, and finally began to evolve into noise just like in the delphinium's dream.

Delphinium was expressionless and indifferent, but raised her hand to strengthen the barrier around her, isolating the sound waves brought by these noises.

"A boring trick." She said, instead of being attacked by the noise like in the dream, she reached out, held the blue wand in her hand, and chanted in a low voice: "Magic construction, release."

Countless blue magic threads floated around her with the sound of words.They were densely covered in layers, trembling, and after the delphinium raised its hand, it began to spread around.

These magical silk threads cut rapidly towards the surroundings, and each thread was as sharp as a sharp blade, making a uniform sound of breaking through the air, cutting to every corner of this space.

As long as the enemy has entity, it is impossible to dodge such an attack.

And as long as she responds to Delphinium's attack, whether it's fighting back or blocking it, she can quickly locate the enemy.

Delphinium didn't believe the dream, but she didn't ignore the warning signs.She tends to believe that there are indeed enemies in this space.

It's just that Delphinium doesn't have time to play hide-and-seek with that enemy. She needs to be fast, and the sooner the better, she knows that she doesn't have that much time.

So she was going to use the magic costume to force that enemy out of the darkness.

The magic thread swayed around, and as the attack reached every corner of the space, the echoes, voices, and laughter all disappeared, as if they never existed at all.

However, the feeling transmitted from the silk thread made delphinium's eyes slightly widen.

"...Are you kidding me?"

It's been a long time since she said that.

The silk threads did attack the enemy, they actually hit something that was not a building, something different from a dead thing, judging by the feel, it was obviously a living thing.

However, every silk thread attacked the enemy.

every way.

In order to confirm the feedback he received, Delphinium increased the output of magic power, making all the magic power threads burst out with stronger magic power.While the powerful destructive power further caused damage to the hit target, the light of magic power finally illuminated some of the originally invisible darkness.

Delphinium looked up towards the top of the hall, only to feel that her breathing was stagnant.

She couldn't believe her eyes.

If you really want to give an analogy to what she sees now, it has to go back a long time ago, when Lin Yun searched everywhere for the source of these insects because of the infestation of clothes moths in his home.

At that time, he opened many dark corners that were usually closed, just to find out where these ubiquitous little bugs gathered.It was finally found, in a completely neglected corner of the storage room, under a mattress that had been abandoned.

There, he saw dense swarms that might make anyone afraid of insects squeal.

Now, in the delphinium's field of vision, this is probably the scene.

It's just that what she saw was not insects, but beasts.On the ceiling of the Different Strategy Bureau, there are densely packed, countless swarming and neighing remnant beasts.

Most of these remnant beasts are only the size of ordinary people, and compared to ordinary remnant beasts, they can be said to be like infants, but the number is so large that it makes people shudder.

The noise in the darkness is nothing else, but the collective neighing of these remnant beasts gathered in the darkness.

At this moment, these remnant beasts who were cut by the silk thread obviously became restless, and the pain made them feel restless.They were not willing to continue to squeeze in the same place, and many of the remnants had already moved their bodies, trying to escape from the crowded ceiling.

Following the surging of these remnant beasts, something else fell from the ceiling and hit the ground.

Delphinium walked forward silently, and looked at the object on the ground with the help of the magical light—it was a square, small object like a card.

Stir the object with a silk thread, and after picking it up, it reveals its own true body: an identity card of an employee of the Bureau of Different Strategies.

This ID card is well preserved, and the plastic shell on the surface is not damaged at all, so Delphinium can still clearly see the ID photo and personal information on it.

However, the owner of this identity card is probably in danger.

Delphinium stared at the identity card quietly for two seconds, and when she looked up again, there was no emotion left on her icy face.

She raised her hand, and the silk thread in the air buzzed with her movement, responding to her movement, and the next moment could start a massacre against the pile of monsters on the ceiling.

Kill these monsters and let them pay for the sin of killing humans.

It was as if a voice spoke in her heart.

Yes, kill these monsters, they are supposed to-

Delphinium let go of her hand suddenly.

No, that was not my own voice just now.

She covered her heart.

It was a voice that suddenly appeared in her mind, and its first sentence was to let itself kill the beasts on the ceiling.

Something is wrong, Delphinium told herself.

It is only natural for a magical girl to kill a beast, why would she encourage herself to do this?
The dream I had in the afternoon seemed to have some kind of inductiveness in itself, it was making my mentality unbalanced, why?
Thinking of this, Delphinium suddenly raised her head again, and she finally realized that something was wrong with these beasts.

Ordinary remnant beasts acted according to their instincts, without any rationality at all.The instinct of the beasts is to destroy and eat. If a target full of magic power like a magical girl walks into their field of vision, they will definitely attack.

In other words, if the beasts on the ceiling had no other abnormalities, Delphinium should have been attacked endlessly from the first second she entered the Bureau of Different Strategies.

But they don't.

Even if they were injured by the delphinium's magic outfit, they still had no intention of attacking. They just moved their bodies, trying to get away from the position where they were attacked.

These remnant beasts just curled up on the ceiling, neighing, screaming, and threatening, as if they didn't have the urge to destroy or eat, but were...fear?
Why are they afraid?What are they afraid of?
At this moment, Delphinium felt as close to the truth as ever before.

She lowered her head again, looked at the slimy ID card on the ground, looked at the extremely clear employee photo on the ID card, pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered something.

A thing that happened not long ago.

At that time, she went to Bai'an City and fell into the lair of the beast. In the lair that looked like the Bureau of Different Strategies of Bo'an City, she found an office. beast.

This incident is not so unusual. It is quite normal for an employee of the Different Strategy Bureau who strayed into the lair to be killed by a beast.

But there are some details, very strange.

First, the door to that office was ajar.

There is only a brutal beast with brutal instincts, and there is no reason to keep the door intact, let alone to politely close the door after entering the office; similarly, it is also unreasonable if an employee of the Different Strategy Bureau finds a beast inside the door Go in and even cover the door.

In that case, neither the beast nor the human had any reason to cover the door.

Secondly, in the lair of Bai'an City, Dengzhan once told herself that she had protected the employees of the Different Strategy Bureau and asked them to find a room to hide.

In other words, those employees of the Different Policy Bureau should have found that office on their own initiative, and finally hid in it together.

Then the remnant beast must have appeared later, it must have appeared in front of the victims after they had hidden themselves, so that it had a chance to wipe out everyone.

These two facts are contradictory.

If the staff of the Different Policy Bureau first found the vacant office and hid in it, then how did the Remnant Beast manage to enter that office without destroying the door at all?
Can she guess that the ajar door was not ajar in the first place, but those innocent victims tried to escape from the office before they died, and then opened the door from the inside?

So, what does this mean?
——The crippled beast suddenly appeared in the office because of some kind of opportunity?

sudden appearance?

The word sent shivers down Delphinium's spine.

Even a chrysalis-level remnant beast can't randomly jump and move in space, so it is definitely impossible for a remnant beast to appear suddenly.If it really appeared "suddenly", what would be the form of this appearance?

Looking up at the ceiling, delphinium slowly opened its hand again, looking at the remnant beasts swarming in place.

It's just that this time she didn't kill these monsters for manipulating the magic costume, but let the magic thread flow and scrape among the monsters, as if she was looking for something.

Unexpectedly, her movements received feedback. As the silk thread was disturbed among the remnant beasts, more and more unknown objects began to fall from the sky and fell to the ground, making crisp sounds.

Delphinium went up to check them one by one, and found that these were all kinds of personal items of human beings: ID cards, glasses, watches, mobile phones, gel pens and so on.

What is even more surprising is that, except for the damage caused by falling from a high altitude, these things are very well preserved.

Delphinium looked at these objects on the ground, speechless for a long time.

——"Why don't you do it?"

A voice came from behind her.

"I can't kill them," replied Delphinium.

"But they are crippled beasts." The voice continued to ask.

This question carried some kind of frank doubts, as if it was really asking delphinium, and along with this question, delphinium found that there was a shadow under her feet.

A figure much longer than himself, completely covering his own shadow.

"They are crippled beasts, but they are not crippled beasts either."

Delphinium didn't look back, but continued to look at the personal belongings on the ground, with a low voice:

"They were, supposed to be... humans."

Her answer also silenced the questioner behind her.

This is Delphinium's final conclusion: those beasts on the ceiling are humans.Even, quite a few of them were former employees of the Fangting City Different Policy Bureau.

The same is true for the Different Strategy Bureau in Bai'an City. The tragedy in that office was not caused by external enemies, but because... some of them turned into beasts.

Among the employees who were hiding in the office together, one of them turned into a beast and attacked the other companions who were caught off guard, which led to the tragedy.

She should have thought of it earlier.

Black Ember Dawn has mastered the technology called "Beast's Viscera", which can allow humans to gain the power of remnants of beasts, and even control remnants of beasts in turn.Then, this technology must have other applications.

For example... turning ordinary people into beasts.

However, this kind of technology must not be as perfect as their "beast guts", and it is impossible to use the violent will of the user like the beast guts, and it can turn into a human again after use.

Delphinium could feel that those monsters above her head were actually just a product of simple stitching.

The human beings and the remnant beasts were sewn together, like walking corpses, without consciousness or fighting power.

Even calling them crippled beasts is very reluctant, because their weak bodies and magic power can't support them to fight like crippled beasts, and they are not even as good as the lowest egg level.

These things on the ceiling are just a bunch of sad "monsters" at this moment.

"However, they are now disabled beasts."

The voice behind the delphinium said: "If you don't kill them, they will one day take the first step to hunt for hunger. As they start to devour living things and gain more magic power, they also It will start to get powerful, and then it will become a real hazard."

"But they are human beings." Delphinium muttered, "Innocent human beings."

"They are monsters, monsters that must be destroyed."

The voice behind the delphinium stated, "We have no ability to change them back to their original form. Their human parts have been completely sewn together with the beasts, and these parts will also become their own nourishment later, making them become A real beast."

"I know."

Delphinium's tone was calm, but her hands gradually clenched: "I... know."

"You promised me, 'No matter what kind of beast it is, you can destroy it'."

The voice continued to speak, and gradually approached Delphinium: "Now, it's time to fulfill this promise. These things are no longer humans, but monsters."

--"senior".
