Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 181 Lin Xiaolu's Suspicion
"suspicious."

A few days later in the evening, after returning home after patrolling, Lin Xiaolu sat alone on the sofa, her face was stern, and she sighed in a deep voice: "It's really suspicious."

Because there have been no remnant beasts in Fangting City in recent days, and because they have a relatively certain understanding of the area under their jurisdiction, the girls' patrol work is inevitably compromised.Patrol work, which used to take nearly two hours after school, has now been compressed to an hour.

After completing the fixed tasks, the girls who had nothing to do and didn't want to study naturally gathered in the living room as usual, occupying their favorite places on the sofa.

Beside her, Xia Liang was originally concentrating on watching the TV, but when she heard Lin Xiaolu's murmur beside her, she turned her head and glanced at her, then looked back at the TV screen expressionlessly.

"It's too suspicious."

Lin Xiaolu repeated this sentence again, and raised her voice for some reason: "I feel that something is happening secretly, and I am kept in the dark."

Xia Liang still turned a deaf ear, watching TV calmly.

Looking at Xia Liang, Lin Xiaolu narrowed her eyes slightly seeing that she didn't have the slightest intention to answer.Standing up from her seat, she walked behind the other person, bent her legs, squatted next to Xia Liang's ear, and said word by word: "Too, yes, doubtful."

"...what are you trying to say?"

Reluctantly turning his eyes away from the TV, Xia Liang showed a somewhat perfunctory smile: "Suspicious? Have you found any suspicious people recently?"

"Suspicious person? Hmm...probably?" Lin Xiaolu straightened up with a thoughtful look on her face.

"Who?"

"That woman."

"Who is 'that woman'? How can I understand you when you say that?"

Xia Liang forced a dry laugh: "Isn't there a more recognizable name?"

Lin Xiaolu couldn't help but suffocate her breath, she pursed her lips and paused for a long time, then reluctantly choked out a sentence: "It's... that woman named Hong Siyu."

"……what."

Xia Liang sighed slightly, and a look of "I knew it" flashed across her face: "You are talking about Hong... Sister, what's wrong with her?"

"Don't you think it's weird?"

Lin Xiaolu clasped the back of the sofa with both hands, showing half of her face from behind: "Why did that woman disappear for so long before, and why did she suddenly come back as a magical girl recently? After all, why can a retired magical girl regain her strength? That's it. It's fine for her to be vague; but, but why does her cooking become more delicious in the past few days? It's unreasonable!"

"Isn't this a good thing..."

Xia Liang lowered her eyebrows, slightly distressed: "Look, Sister Hong has become a magical girl again, and the obstacles in cooking have also been overcome. It is not harmful to everyone."

"I didn't say it was a bad thing. The key point is why? There have been too many strange things recently, and I always feel that they all happened when I didn't know it. For example, the gas pipeline explosion in some community two weeks ago, the degree of damage is absolutely Is it a remnant beast? A few days ago, the building of the Bureau of Different Strategies just finished construction and collapsed, Delphinium even informed us in advance that there was a strong enemy, no matter how you think, there must be enemies who attacked the Bureau of Different Strategies, right?"

Lin Xiaolu obviously didn't agree with this answer, and she pointed at various abnormalities with her fingers: "As for Hong Siyu, there is no such thing as pie in the world. What happened after she disappeared for so many days? I always feel that there is something wrong with her." Things are hiding from us! And it must have something to do with these weird things!"

"Ha ha……"

Because she really didn't know what to say, Xia Liang could only continue to laugh dryly: "So?"

"I need to know the truth!" Lin Xiaolu patted the back of the sofa heavily, and said sternly, "Even if I have to use some means!"

Just as she was saying that, Bai Jingxuan also just walked up from the training ground in the basement.She held Mo Ke in one hand, wiped the sweat off her cheeks with a towel in the other hand, and looked at Lin Xiaolu in the living room with some doubts: "The truth? What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about all kinds of strange things in Fangting City recently, the most suspicious ones are Hong Si and that woman."

Lin Xiaolu turned her face to the side and looked at Bai Jingxuan: "It's another gas explosion in the community, and the collapse of the Different Policy Bureau building. Aren't you curious about what happened behind the scenes?"

"The gas explosion in the neighborhood...?" Slowing down, chewing the word lightly, Bai Jingxuan opened her mouth slightly, but suddenly remembered something and covered her mouth.

"What are you covering your mouth for?" Lin Xiaolu looked at her suspiciously. After a while, she also reacted abruptly and stood up from the back of the sofa: "No, isn't Li Xing District your patrol area?"

"what!"

Bai Jingxuan exclaimed uncontrollably, and then waved her hands again and again: "I don't know anything! I didn't see anything when I was patrolling!"

"What do you mean you didn't see anything? What do you really know, kid?"

Lin Xiaolu strode towards Bai Jingxuan: "Quick! Be honest!"

"Mom won't let me... No, I can't say it!" Bai Jingxuan took two steps back slightly holding the handrail of the stairs.

"Mom? Delphinium? Huh?"

Lin Xiaolu opened her eyes slightly: "Is it related to delphinium? I don't know?"

Even Xia Liang who had been playing sloppy eyes raised his head in surprise and looked in the direction of Bai Jingxuan.

"Bai Jingxuan, I am your senior, and logically speaking, I am still your future sister. So, don't lie to your sister."

Lin Xiaolu stretched out her hands and put her on Bai Jingxuan's shoulders. There seemed to be whirlpools in her dark eyes: "Come on, tell me, what did Delphinium secretly do with you?"

"Hmm...I..." Bai Jingxuan clutched the corners of her clothes with both hands, obviously in a dilemma, she hesitated for a long time, and could only look at Xia Liang as if asking for help.

Seeing her begging for help like this, although Xia Liang herself was also very curious, she could only start to make a siege: "Ah, ah, Xiaolu, don't push the child so hard, you scared her, but she said no come out, right?"

"Mmm, yes!" Bai Jingxuan nodded repeatedly.

"I, scary?"

Lin Xiaolu blinked, let go of her hands on Bai Jingxuan's shoulders, and looked back at Xia Liang: "Then don't force me to ask the elementary school students, Xia Liang, I suddenly remembered, do you have some problems too?"

"During the beginning of this semester, you and Delphinium were always alone for some reason, right? Even the parent-teacher meeting seemed to have something going on, and you always knew something that I didn't know Delphinium said or didn't say, Can you explain your situation first?"

grunt.

Xia Liang swallowed subconsciously.

"Why, how could it be? Whether we are in school or in the secret base, aren't we always together every day?"

She glanced at her, and her voice was a little out of tune: "I just have a better memory for things like what the junior said. You didn't remember it yourself, did you?"

"……suspicious."

Squinting her eyes, Lin Xiaolu looked at Xia Liang, then at Bai Jingxuan who was behind her, and repeated this sentence for an unknown number of times today: "It's too suspicious. I look at everyone now and feel suspicious. Could it be that all of you Something is hiding from me, and I'm the only one who doesn't know anything?"

"Oh, you really think too much!"

"Uh-huh!"

Xia Liang led Bai Jingxuan to respond quickly, interrupting Lin Xiaolu's words: "Let's not talk about this topic, weren't you talking about Sister Hong just now? Where is the topic? Let's talk about business, tell me how you plan to get her Where to get the truth?"

"Huh? Oh... You said this."

The train of thought was brought back by Xia Liang, Lin Xiaolu immediately switched a line of thought, thinking: "My initial idea is to find time to confront her, but I always feel that I may not get the result I want."

"Confrontation is really not a good idea."

Xia Liang, who was still uninterested before, turned away from the state of fishing in troubled waters, and very proactively offered a suggestion: "I think we should make indirect remarks first, and lure her to say contradictory words."

"Hmm!" Bai Jingxuan also enthusiastically proved her existence.

"Insinuating? That's what you're good at?"

Lin Xiaolu raised her eyebrows: "Anyway, pretending to be cute and asking dirty questions is your strong point, right?"

"I will not accept unwarranted slander."

The enthusiastic smile on Xia Liang's face did not change: "There is no need for such dark and subjective descriptions as 'pretend' and 'sinister'."

"Anyway, it's just a deliberate trick." Lin Xiaolu rolled her eyes: "Just fool the good old man who doesn't defend you."

"What does it mean to fool a good old man?"

Xia Liang suddenly felt dissatisfied and said, "I'm obviously trying to help you find a way!"

"It's too slow! It's too unstable! When there is a result, I'm afraid she has already completed any conspiracy!"

Lin Xiaolu shook her head: "Reject! Change to another!"

——"I think I can find an opportunity to secretly follow her and see what she is doing now." A voice said suddenly.

"Tracking, uh..."

Lin Xiaolu frowned: "It's easy to say, but it's very difficult to implement. The last tracking failed completely."

"Although I don't know what happened to the last follow-up, it must have been caused by insufficient preparation, incomplete props, and irregular actions."

The voice that appeared suddenly continued: "If these problems can be solved, tracking is actually a very efficient method. After all, private detectives in the early years handled cases like this."

"It's true what you said."

Lin Xiaolu was a little moved by the persuasion, but still hesitated: "However, it is said to solve the problem, these things are not so easy to deal with, right? Items, actions and so on..."

"It's okay, if you really have such an intention, I can help."

"Really? I didn't expect that someone among us could help... No, who are you!"

It was only halfway through that she realized something was wrong, Lin Xiaolu finally realized that the voice did not belong to either Xia Liang or Bai Jingxuan, not even Mo Ke, but came from a very strange direction - the floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room.

The girls gathered in the living room looked sideways, and saw a spherical creature with a somewhat strange shape standing there.Judging from the pair of fluttering little wings on its back, it is likely to be a goblin.

Of course, it may be a bit far-fetched to say that it is a creature: because the opponent's body has obvious artificial joint structure, it looks more like a doll than a creature.And this goblin doll was standing outside the floor-to-ceiling window at this time, with a big face against the glass, and said the words just now in a husky voice.

"……what is this?"

Concerned about this strange existence that suddenly appeared, Lin Xiaolu was stunned for a long time before making a guess with some hesitation: "Remnant beast?"

"What a disrespectful child, I am not the same as that sad monster. Even if you just rely on appearance and this intellectual conversation, you should be able to find out: I am a goblin."

The doll stood outside the window and knocked on the glass with its short paws: "So, can you open the window first? Let me in first before we talk. It's very windy and cold outside."

"Appearing outside the house at this time to trick minors into opening windows, even if it's not a beast, it wouldn't be a good thing, would it?"

Lin Xiaolu took out her heart gem with some vigilance: "Xia Liang, we just transformed into it."

"What do you say 'did it'? Young people these days are too vicious!"

The goblin doll outside the window shuddered: "I appeared here without showing any hostility, and I came here with a feeling of concern for the younger generation, and I didn't deserve this kind of treatment?"

"Suddenly lying outside someone's window and saying something sneaky, is it enough to make people suspicious? What the hell are you?"

Lin Xiaolu was full of suspicion: "You actually encouraged others to follow you. You must have been sent here by someone like Hei Jin Dawn, right?"

"Ahem, to describe me with the group of barbarians like Black Ember and Dawn. If it wasn't for someone as noble as me, I'm afraid I would be furious by now. No, even I would be a little angry."

The goblin doll cleared its throat with a vague voice, and said old-fashionedly: "As for asking what I am? You mean, let me introduce myself in such a cold current and wind?"

"Moco, this guy looks like a goblin, have you seen it?"

"never seen it."

Mo Ke looked at the doll outside the window: "And the magic power fluctuation on this guy is not like a normal fairy at all, it should be a fake."

Lin Xiaolu nodded: "Okay, Xia Liang, we made it."

"Against violence! Wouldn't your conscience be condemned to harm a powerless goblin as a magical girl?"

The goblin doll outside the window waved its paws again and again: "What's more, the elders came to you to help, not to mention the lack of courtesy, and the violent abuse. Think about it, is this appropriate?"

"I don't have such an elder who looks like a ball!"

Lin Xiaolu pointed at the doll and said, "So you should explain clearly who you are!"

"Oh, the younger generation now..."

The goblin doll outside the window sighed resemblingly, and then puffed up its round belly: "Forget it, since you are so eager, then listen carefully. I'm just a gossip who just happened to pass by, and you You can call me... 'Fairy Immortal'".
