Chapter 33: The Strange Bureau

"The Alien Bureau over there in Nagumo City replied yesterday, saying that the seeder on their side has submitted a report to the Magic Realm, and confirmed that the seeder whose name is registered as 'Moko' is confirmed, although the relevant resume is blank."

It had been a few days since the delphinium had killed the chrysalis remnant, and Lin Yun and Red Si were driving to the Alien Bureau together.

Flipping through the documents with "brushes" in his hand, Hong Sihe sat in the car, and said in a voice without ups and downs: "As for the disappearance of the previous seeder 'Nini' in Fangting City, the reply from the country side is, 'There is a record, please contact the new magical girl to continue the previous verification'?" Strange, has this matter been reported to the kingdom before? Anyway, they didn't plan to send reinforcements at all? ”

“…… It's because I'm here. ”

Listening to Hong Sihe's words, Lin Yun, who was originally driving, suddenly spoke out and sighed: "When I first retired, I should have erased my name directly from the Investigation Institute." ”

His status as a magical girl is a secret card to the local Alien Bureau, but not to the Wizarding Realm.

The magical girl in the material world gains power, and after ten years in office, she will usher in a retirement period. At this stage, they will have two choices in front of them: one is to join the magical country full of magic and become the original inhabitants of the country, so as to solve problems such as the decline of magic power and continue to serve as magical girls; The second is to stay in the material world, but retire from the identity of a magical girl, become an ordinary person, and at the same time get a very generous wealth subsidy that is enough for financial freedom in the second half of his life, and live a happy life.

Most magical girls who have been fighting for ten years, or even tired of fighting, choose to retire. There are also magical girls who are unwilling to give up their magic powers, or who are unwilling to give up their young appearance, will settle in the magical country from then on. But no matter how you choose, you will leave a record on the side of the Magic Realm.

And in addition to the above rules, there is actually an exception, called "Magical Girl for Life".

When a magical girl has made enough contributions on an important occasion, the royal court will preside over and award the magical girl this title. From now on, no matter aging or injury, it will not make it lose the power of a magical girl, and it is up to them to stay in the kingdom or the material world.

Lin Yun and Anya actually belong to this exception.

As a result, even though Lin Yun had already registered to stop his activities, his name was still on the list of the royal court and the investigation court, and even recorded that his retirement location was in Fangting City.

Further information won't stay there, but it's enough to let people know that there is an "old-timer" in Fangting City.

"Senior, are you familiar with the Investigation Institute?" Retire normally so I know something about these twists and turns, the former magical girl Hong Si turned her head sideways and said with some doubts.

"It's good to have the name of an inspector, and I've dealt with them before."

Holding the steering wheel in his hand, Lin Yun secretly said: "It's been almost 20 years, and these guys are still so good at making people." ”

"So there are no reinforcements?" Hong Sihe leaned back in his chair holding the papers.

"It means that you can only think about finding new people next." Lin Yun was also helpless.

"Looking for a new person...... Now it's just three people. ”

Hong Sihe wrenched his fingers: "It would be better to have a few more people?" ”

"I don't know, and don't count me in the statistics."

Lin Yun corrected with hesitation: "I don't want others to know about my comeback." ”

"Okay—my ears are almost calloused."

Hong Sihe pretended to cover his ears and vaguely confused: "But if you continue to move, it will always get out, right?" ”

"Then wait until it gets out."

Lin Yun set the tone for this conversation, and the two of them never talked about this topic again in the subsequent trip.

As the car gradually drove towards its destination, the building where the Alien Bureau was located gradually appeared in front of the two of them.

The existence of the bureau itself is not a secret, but the way it operates varies depending on the city it is in.

In Fangting City, the Bureau of Differentiation is acting in the guise of an official organization, and even the office is set up in the urban area.

The car drove past the gate, and Hongsi showed his work certificate to the doorman, and after some verification by the other party, he was able to pass and officially entered the office area of the Alien Bureau.

Lin Yun adjusted the steering wheel while looking at the building not far away through the car window, full of worries.

His previous request for a meeting was accepted by the Bureau of Advice a few days later, and not only that, but the meeting was scheduled in the Bureau of Vision, and the person who received him would be the current Director.

There is no doubt that the director of the bureau must have paid a considerable amount of attention to this matter by personally coming forward to talk to him, but it is not yet known whether this attention is well-intentioned or has ulterior motives.

"Relax, don't look like you're facing a great enemy, our director is not a very serious person."

Walking into the building with Lin Yun, Hong Sihe said a little frivolously: "She is quite talkative, just ask whatever you want." ”

"You seem to have a good opinion of her?"

His gaze swept over several key points of his dress, and Lin Yun said with some surprise: "Usually you complain a lot about your colleagues in the Alien Bureau on the phone, I thought there were few people you could look at." ”

"Shhhh Don't say that in the unit! ”

Hong Sihe immediately signaled him to silence, and only after confirming that there was no one on the left and right did he pat him: "Scary, isn't the words heard by my colleagues to misunderstand me and slander them behind my back?" ”

"I think the word here should be 'seeking', not 'misunderstanding'."

Walking to the elevator room and pressing the button to go upstairs, Lin Yun looked at Hong Sihe: "What floor?" ”

"Eleventh floor." Hong Sihe replied, and then added, "I was taken care of by this director a lot when I came here to work, and it can be seen that she is a very thoughtful person, as an ordinary person who has not mastered magic and cannot reach the extraordinary, she is actually doing her best in many things. ”

"Really?" Lin Yun's face did not change, but in his heart he was a little more interested in the next meeting.

The elevator rose rapidly with the slight sound of machinery, and the number of floors on the display screen kept jumping, and in a short time, it reached the predetermined eleventh floor.

The two walked out of the elevator, Lin Yun followed Hong Sihe to the interior of the floor, and after passing a corner, he saw a pair of magnificent wooden swing doors open on the wall.

Hong Sihe stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door, and after a "please come in" sound from the door, he looked at Lin Yun on the side, and then made a "please" gesture. So Lin Yun straightened his neckline and walked into the office behind the swing door alone.

What catches the eye is a full-length floor-to-ceiling window, a bookcase standing solemnly on both sides of the wall, and a huge desk in the center.

and the elderly lady who stood up behind his desk and was greeting him in a flat salute.

- "Hello, Mr. Lin Yun. ”
