Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 27 Grand Welcome
"Yes, yes, I understand, I'm very sorry."

In the dark sewer, a tired man's voice came from above.

"Yes, okay, if your maintenance personnel can't solve it, we will come to you tomorrow morning to provide service as soon as possible..."

The time was 11 o'clock in the evening. Lin Yun stood at the mouth of a sewer that was opened with his mobile phone in his hand. He made a promise to the other side of the phone with a deadpan but sincere tone.

Then he put down the phone, opened the text message interface, edited a message and sent it, then he put away the phone and let out a long sigh.

Chasing the urban legends and investigating everywhere, and customers complaining about his subordinates' phone calls in the middle of the night, and being blamed because he had no signal in the sewer before, it is really exhausting.

But fortunately, there are not a few points left.If there really was a pupa-level remnant beast in the sewers of Fangting City, he would be able to pull it out of its hiding place tonight.

Holding the flower of heart and transforming into a magical girl again, delphinium flew towards the rumored next location in the night.

"The Singing of the Sewer", as an urban legend that has become popular on the Internet recently, although there are many versions, tracing back to its source, most of the po owners who claim to have experienced it themselves claim to be in Fangting City.

The content of this urban legend is probably that when passing the sewer mouth in the middle of the night, one can occasionally hear an ethereal, very weird but magnificent singing voice. Although it is not a human language, it seems to be conveying some kind of emotion.Just like the legendary sea monster, it lures passers-by and makes people want to find out.

And once someone is fascinated by this kind of singing, they can't help but want to get close to the source, even move the manhole cover of the sewer, trying to listen to its beautiful melody at a closer distance.Eventually it would be grabbed by the hand reaching out from the manhole cover and dragged straight into the darkness.

If someone ignores the singing and has no interest at all, then he will be completely trapped in the same area like a ghost hitting a wall.The singing in the sewer will become stronger and closer until he is completely addicted to it.

Only those who have shown enough appreciation, but are not completely enchanted, can safely leave the area where the singing is heard.

This strange talk spread to the later stage, and even some serious remarks appeared, saying that seeing the sewer manhole cover that was opened but not closed meant that someone had been killed, and that it would be possible to find out the news of someone missing nearby.

Delphinium, however, did not see it.

Every time she endured the smell of the sewer, she searched in it, not to mention the missing person, she didn't see a few mice, and there was only a little water flow and wind blowing in the dark and oppressive sewer.

Recalling the urban legend, Delphinium has been focusing on hearing, trying to capture the traces of the so-called "singing voice", but there is no result from the beginning to the end.

In this way, she floated and flew in the maze-like pipeline for half an hour.

The grayish-yellow walls and dense pipes that repeatedly appeared in front of my eyes were annoying, but Delphinium still forced herself to search all the way.It's just a pity that this trip is still fruitless.

Unable to find what she wanted, Delphinium had to choose to go to the next location, but when she was about to choose a path to leave, she suddenly realized something was wrong:
——For half an hour, I have been flying for so long, but I haven't encountered a single exit?

The originally drowsy consciousness instantly became clear, and the silent magic power became ready to move. Delphinium moved his hands, drew a few lines, and then released his own magic power, spreading around like sound waves. go.Just waiting in place like this, after some probing, she realized that she might have finally found the right place.

Not only because she perceives the extremely subtle residual magic power, but also because of the obviously abnormal space structure here: it is not a normal urban sewer at all, but only looks like a sewer, but in fact the structure is like an ant nest, a nested space maze .

This is exactly the symbol of the "chrysalis" class remnant beast's lair, which distorts the original space of reality.

Adjusting its own flying state to lower the floating height, several magic light clusters flew out of the delphinium sleeves, lighting up the surrounding vision.Her hands kept moving, quickly swipe in the void.Accompanied by this action, several Fawo runes jumped out from his fingers and flew around, forming a faintly visible magic barrier. After a while, the light went out along with the runes.

After this action, it can be said that half of Delphinium's spells have been used. Most of the spells she learned are auxiliary abilities related to detection and protection, and she can never have too many spells when facing powerful enemies.

After making this series of preliminary preparations, Delphinium raised his spirits to meet the enemies that may come at any time.

The pupa-level remnant beast was a relatively rare enemy for her in the past. Now that 19 years have passed, her strength has indeed declined a lot compared to before.For enemies that cannot be guaranteed to be defeated, a cautious attitude is most important.

Walking along the passages extending in all directions, Delphinium will let the magic light group illuminate the environment when passing through each intersection, so as to avoid being attacked by enemies from the dark.

This subconscious vigilance was soon rewarded - she spotted a lurking beast at the top of the passage around a bend.

Like a piece of rotten meat that was smashed against the wall, scattered pieces of meat stuck to the wall, and tentacles of granulation fixed its body shape. There was no doubt that this was an egg-level remnant beast.

"Pfft"!
Within a few breaths, it was pierced by Delphinium who was in a hurry with a magic beam, and the deterrent roar that had not yet been uttered was held in his mouth forever, and it fell dully on the water surface, splashing a lot of dirt.

Stretching out his hand, a little bit of starlight gathered in it, put away these egg-level reverberations, and the delphinium continued to move forward.

From the moment she met this crippled beast, she encountered more and more enemies along the way.

A large number of egg-level remnants, and even a few worm-level remnants, rushed towards her from all sides of the tunnel.It was as if something was directing them so that they could find the exact location of the delphinium.

The delphinium was unafraid.

If it wasn't for demonstrating this level of enemy to newcomers, she wouldn't need to worry about it.The magic outfit was released, and deadly threads of magic power spread all over the surroundings. Many remnant beasts who rushed over ran into them head-on before they could react, and were directly cut into a pile of pieces by the blade-like filaments.

She walked all the way expressionlessly, and from time to time along the way, remnant beasts screamed and fell down.

The sewer tunnel seems to have become a slaughterhouse, but what is slaughtered in it is not domestic animals, but remnant animals.The smell of blood even overwhelmed the rot that the sewer should have, and the yellow water was dyed red by the blood of the beasts.

Delphinium didn't count how many beasts he had killed, but only remembered that he didn't even bother to collect the egg-level reverberation in the end.

Until finally, she heard singing.

It's not the vaguely sung cappella as rumored, but a magnificent chorus like a gorgeous performance.

What appeared in front of her was no longer a narrow and cramped tunnel, but a huge cave that could not appear in the sewer normally.

You can't see the top at a glance, but you can only see the criss-crossing pipes and bricks. Numerous drains protrude from all sides of the cave, and a large amount of sewage flows down from all directions, converging into a bottomless pool.

Above the water pool is the existence of singing.

That is not a siren, nor a mermaid, without a doubt, it is a remnant beast.

The delphinium raised its head, and the first thing it saw was meat, pieces of meat, and limbs.

The flesh and blood that looked like intestines hung in mid-air, covering the sky above the entire cave like strings of colorful flags, like a festival.In the center is a huge remnant beast that hangs down from the air. The whole body is only pink and red of flesh and blood, like a fish whose scales and skin have been stripped off, but without the eyes and gills of the fish, only a huge mouthpart remains. .

At this time, the huge mouthparts opened and closed like a human being, wriggling, and the graceful singing sound from it resounded through the surrounding corridors, and the strong echoes were mixed together to form a chaotic chorus, which sounded sacred and solemn.

There is no human language in it, but the delphinium seems to be able to understand its meaning:
It is welcoming, welcoming the arrival of the magical girl.
