Normally, Lin Yun's life and rest are very regular.

Wake up at half past six in the morning, rest at half past eleven in the evening, and repeat the cycle to make sure you have enough brain power to handle the work.

His biological clock is just as accurate, and unless he is overworked, he will inevitably open his eyes at six o'clock.

It's just that there are always exceptions. The night before, he had given a lecture to two magical girls after work; Immediately after that, he rushed to the sewers and killed an entire lair of pupal remnants; In the end, I made a long phone call to Hongsi to verify the situation. By the time the back of his head was on the pillow, it was already five o'clock in the morning.

The end result was that he woke up late.

When Lin Yun opened his eyes from sleepiness, the time was already seven and a half o'clock.

He glanced to his side, then picked up his bedside phone, and his eyes widened when he saw the time number on the lock screen. Lifting the quilt and stepping on his slippers, he hurried towards the closet.

Washing quickly in the bathroom, Lin Yun combed his hair with a toothbrush, rinsed his mouth while buttoning his shirt, and in his busyness, he couldn't help but think of the phone call that caused him to sleep exceptionally late:

Last night's call didn't end up asking for any information, according to Hong Siyu's statement: During the two years she returned to Fangting City to serve, the number of appearances of the remnant beast was only a handful, and even the only sighting of the beetle was provided by Lin Xiaolu when she was attacked, let alone the chrysalis.

If Lin Yun hadn't personally gone to the sewer to kill the chrysalis, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been known until it developed into a "molt". At that point, Fangting City was in danger of being wiped out.

Lin Yun didn't believe it.

Leaving aside whether he trusted Red Sihe or not—he didn't want to doubt his former juniors if possible—but even if the information Red Sihe gave was already as far as she could find, the information in the Bureau of Differentiation database might not be all.

It is better to say that Lin Yun's suspicion is directed at the different strategy, and he always feels that the other party is hiding something. The disappearance of the successor sower mentioned by Tu Yu, the "Nini" in Moco's mouth, and the absence of a new magical girl for two years, as well as the remnant beast that rapidly evolved into a chrysalis during this time...... There are all kinds of signs that there is an unknown force in Fangting City that is secretly acting, and the Strange Strategy Bureau should not be ignorant of this.

There are only two possibilities in the current situation, the first is that the different strategy bureau is full of useless wine bags and rice bags, which is just self-sufficient; The second is that the Bureau of Differentiation actually knows some things, but this part of the information is in the hands of a very small number of people, and it is not even entered in the database.

Lin Yun would rather have the latter, so he had to meet with the top of the local Alien Bureau.

It's just that asking to meet the top of a special agency like the Alien Bureau as an ordinary citizen is tantamount to wishful thinking, and he has to show his identity that the other party has to meet.

He has this identity, and even two, but it is difficult to choose between them. Whether it is Lin Yun or the identity of the magical girl Delphinch, he has no bottom in his heart.

With Lin Yun's identity, he is the common relative of the former magical girl "Sakura" who has died and the current magical girl "White Rose".

The Strange Bureau's handling of the identity of the magical girl is "two-way secrecy", except for certain high-level officials and liaison personnel who are directly connected with the magical girl, they will neither reveal the true identity of the magical girl to others, nor will they disclose the information about the magical girl and the magical side to the family of the magical girl.

They actually did a good job in this regard, even if they attended Anya's funeral, they didn't show their way out, and they didn't exchange any news with Lin Yun - after all, 19 years have passed, Lin Yun's contacts have long been promoted to the headquarters, and the senior executives of the year have also retired, and the final result of two-way secrecy is that even the local dissident bureau does not know Lin Yun's true identity. The true body of the magical girl "Delphinium" has long been turned into a secret and thrown into the database of the General Bureau.

But if Lin Yun said that he already knew the body of his wife and daughter, and had some understanding of a series of knowledge on the magic side, then the nature would be completely different. As a family member of a sacrificial magical girl, he has every reason to ask the top brass of the Bureau of Aliens to meet him and tell him the truth, and at that time, the Bureau of Strategies has no way to restrain him except to ask him to sign an agreement not to reveal the magic side to the public.

The advantage of this plan is that it is robust, and it can reach the top level of the Alien Strategy Bureau without alarming people who may have unknown motives in the Alien Bureau. The disadvantage is that the information obtained may not be perfect, and the other party may not be willing to give it all because he is a civilian.

As for using the identity of the delphinium, it is easy to say, the other party will not dare to hide anything, and will definitely tell everything he knows.

But the impact of this will be very far-reaching: first, the contact between Delphinium and the Different Strategy Bureau is Hong Sihe, her own information has been processed, and the Different Strategy Bureau's perception of her is only "Bai Mei's partner", once she reveals her original path, it is likely to alarm the mysterious power hidden in Fangting City; Second, she has not officially made a comeback now, she is only active in a small area in Fangting City, and if the news of her comeback reaches the magic realm, it may cause some unnecessary trouble.

In this regard, Hong Sihe also proposed a plan to let Delphinch encourage Lin Xiaolu and have Lin Xiaolu contact the Alien Bureau, but Lin Yun always felt that it was difficult for his daughter to operate to ensure that she would not be fooled by the other party, and finally vetoed it. What's more, he doesn't want to use Delphich's identity to deceive his daughter anymore.

After weighing the two phases, Lin Yun chose to act safely, that is, to meet with the different policy bureau as "Lin Yun".

After discussing various details and pulling on the distribution of work content between the two parties, Lin Yun and Hong Sihe discussed until it was close to dawn, and it was not until all the various matters were arranged that the long phone call ended.

It's a toss-up.

With a long yawn, Lin Yun, who was standing in front of the mirror, laughed at himself and looked at himself: in addition to the thick dark circles under his eyes, he took care of his personal appearance. Without further effort, he grabbed his blazer from the back of his chair and strode to the door.

Pulling open the door of the master bedroom, he habitually glanced to the left, but saw that the door of the room next to him also happened to open, and Lin Xiaolu, who had messy hair, walked out of the door sleepily, holding a rubber band in his hand and trying to tie the hair behind his head.

Father and daughter stood in the hallway of the doorway, falling into an eerie silence.

In the end, Lin Xiaolu broke the deadlock, pretending not to see anything, took a few steps back to the room, and closed the door with a "click".

About two minutes later, she continued to open the door as if nothing had happened, probing her brain, and trying to get out of it, only to find that Lin Yun was still standing at the door.

"Why haven't you left yet?"

After a brief moment of embarrassment, she glared at Lin Yun.

Lin Yun had already put on her coat and was wearing a tie at this time, and when she saw her going out, she was in a mood, and couldn't help but sigh: "I just wanted to ask you this question, I just went out at this point, you, are you going to be late?" ”
