Chapter 35 The Tram Incident
"Mr. Lin Yun, an employee of the Alien Bureau, although he is already a capable person compared to a commoner, and there are even many people who have mastered the power of magic as mortals, but this level of power is tantamount to a mayfly shaking a tree for the kingdom."
"The egg-tier remnants that we need to have a few people, or even a dozen people, can barely solve with equipment, are just the most common prey of magical girls."
"Giving a lot, in the end it is just a tool between the kingdom and the material world. Avoiding the boring obstacles that magical girls may encounter in their actions, swinging between multiple forces, and trying to appease the emotions of the people, this is the real situation of the Alien Bureau, the real effect. β
"We are just the glove of the kingdom, and the protection that the glove can provide is so fragile."
"So I can't promise you that we have what it takes to protect your daughter. I just hope you can trust me that I will do everything in my power to help her and her companions avoid any danger they may encounter. β
"I empathize with you."
Mousse's words, Lin Yun took it to heart.
Even if there were only some detailed questions and answers left after that, a few days later, he still remembered the content of the conversation from time to time.
A simple conversation was not enough for him to judge Mousse's position and thoughts, but he had to pay attention to the information provided by the other party. It's not just about the kingdom and the "claw marks", it's about herself because of what she's been to.
"My daughter was also a magical girl when she was alive."
This sentence made him think a lot, both about the present and about the future.
Mousse said that she would look for a suitable opportunity to pass on what information she had about claw marks to Lin Xiaolu.
I just hope that Lin Yun can keep it secret from her, Lin Yun won't spread her remarks about claw marks and different strategies, and she won't leak her conversation with Lin Yun to Lin Xiaolu.
"Miss Bai Mei doesn't seem to know anything about her mother, and we haven't disclosed it to her because of the principle of two-way confidentiality. You may have your own arrangements for this, but as far as I can see, you should tell her the truth yourself as soon as possible. β
Here are the exact words of Mousse at that time:
"Children always have to grow up, and a child who becomes a magical girl may grow faster than you think."
A few days later, on the tram, Lin Yun looked at his mobile phone.
The above is a text message from Lin Xiaolu, the content is very brief, only three words:
[Remember to come].
He leaned back in his chair, enjoying the rare time he could sit on the train, and replied with the word "definitely" in a brisk mood.
Time passed quickly, and since he sent his daughter to school that day and gave a promise about the truth in the car, he could feel that Lin Xiaolu's attitude had softened a little.
Although it was only a little bit, it was only reluctant to communicate, and most of the communication was passive and resistant, and the words were prickly, to the extent that they could occasionally have a calm daily conversation. But the fact that his relationship with his daughter was changed was already the most rare experience.
So today, in the face of the parent-teacher meeting mentioned earlier, he can be said to be ready for twelve points.
The company arranged overtime, and he changed positions with others; The dinner invited by a colleague, he shirked it for another day; He arranged special personnel to deal with all the requests put forward by customers as early as possible. All work matters were pushed aside, and there was no longer any obstacle to stop him from going to the parent-teacher conference.
Now, I took the tram to Lin Xiaolu's school early in the afternoon.
Outside the car window, a drizzle fell at some point, and the continuous rain streaked through the car window, leaving traces of the road. Lin Yun leaned in the car with a rare and somewhat excited mood, quietly waiting for the moment when he arrived at his destination.
In order to ensure that the work is completed and there is no extra burden today, he is somewhat sleepy after many days of hard work and overtime, and after sitting in the seat for a long time, he feels sleepy and his eyelids fight. He had to fight his spirits so that he would not fall asleep so as not to cross the station.
Just as he was struggling with himself, he heard an exclamation in a trance.
- "Ah! β
It was probably this kind of voice that made him suddenly feel excited and cheered up.
Immediately afterward, the carriage began to shake violently.
Lin Yun, who was sitting on the seat, grabbed the railing next to him in time to keep himself from being thrown away, but in his field of vision, several passengers fell from the front of the carriage to the rear in the tumbling.
In the chaos, the piercing screams came and went, and the lights in the carriage flickered on and off, making him squint.
The train was still moving, and when he first looked out of the window behind him, and when he saw nothing, he struggled to jump out of his seat. He grabbed the railing on the opposite side of the aisle, staggered to the window, and looked again in the direction from which the impact had come fromβ
A large beast-like remnant was clinging to the tram, with the body of a passenger stabbed in its claws, and the passenger was bleeding from the wound in his abdomen, hanging his head motionless, most likely dead.
"Damn, at a time like this?"
Lin Yun couldn't help but curse in a low voice, but the ringing of the mobile phone on his waist made him quickly return to his senses.
He took the phone out of his pocket and found that it was indeed Delphicin's phone, and the incoming call on the screen was "White Rose".
Looking around, he found that there were many passengers lying on the ground and wailing, but there were a few people who were not affected too much, and just shrunk into their seats with a frightened face, and his heart tightened, realizing that he couldn't transform here.
So, ignoring the call on his phone, he left his seat again, stumbled forward in the violently shaking carriage, and fumbled for a safety hammer on the side wall.
Grabbing the safety hammer, he gritted his back teeth, steadied himself, and slammed it into the window.
The occupants of the car didn't realize what he was doing at first, but when they did, they dissuaded him.
"Don't do this", "Stop", "Do you want to kill yourself?" The kind of shouts came and went, but Lin Yun's hands kept moving, still hammering and hammering, hammering the windows hard, until the four corners of the glass were smashed into the slightest crack, until he smashed all the four corners, and then, the entire window shattered.
The shattered glass shards scattered and flew in the shaking, and a few pieces crossed Lin Yun's face, and even brought out a trace of blood, Lin Yun changed his posture, from kneeling to standing on the seat.
He looked at the scenery flying by outside the window, clutched the vibrating mobile phone in his hand, paused, and his expression became determined.
Then, amid an exclamation of exclamations around him, he jumped out of the car window.
The track of the light rail tram is set at a height from the ground, but the height is limited, and there is not much time left for Lin Yun. After he jumped out of the car window, he was thrown into the air by strong inertia and kept tumbling.
He grasped the flower of his heart, and the light flowed.
The blue magic shone brightly, and the delphinium emerged from the glow of the magic, and from the moment it appeared, the magic that gushed behind her caused it to fly after the train.
She pulled out the phone, which had stopped vibrating, pressed the call back button, and a moment later, the call was connected.
- "Delphinch, Mo Ke said that there was a remnant beast attack in the direction of Luoming Line 4!" β
Lin Xiaolu's voice immediately came from the mobile phone, and the words were urgent: "I'm still in school now, and it will take a while to rush over, but I will do it as soon as possible, and then I will send you the specific location immediately, and Xia Liang, we should ...... it soon"
"No need."
Delphinium interrupted her: "I'll be there soon, don't use it." β
"Why?" Lin Xiaolu asked.
"I remember you talked about it before, the school has a parent-teacher conference today, right?"
"But ......," Lin Xiaolu still wanted to refute.
"This time the remnant beast is a beetle, don't come here."
The delphinium also quickened its speed of speech, and calmly replied in the sound of the hunting wind: "I happen to be nearby, and now I am not far from the scene, and I can see the appearance of the remnant beast." There is no doubt that it will be dangerous for you to come, and this time I will be alone. β
"So do your own thing, don't get distracted, if your parents arrive at school and find that you're not there, it should be difficult to explain, right?"
"Well......" Lin Xiaolu's answer was obviously a little hesitant.
"Then leave it to me, don't worry, I'm strong."
Delphinium said this, then pressed the hang up button, ending the call.
The azure magic chased the tram all the way, and after a few moments of acceleration, it slammed into a distance, and the delphinium chased after the cripple in almost a dozen seconds.
At this time, the remnant beast was frantically tearing at the carriage, and the carriage under its claws had been completely broken, and passengers were constantly screaming and being pulled out of it and sent towards the mouth full of sharp teeth.
And just as a young man wailed, struggling to break free from its claws, the movement on the claws of the remnant beast stopped. It's like being caught in the legendary immobilization technique, and being restrained by something, obviously the forearm is constantly trembling, and it seems that he is still exerting force, but he can't lift it any more.
The brief lull gave the man room to breathe, and he opened his eyes in fear, as if aware of something, and looked not far away.
Everywhere I looked, I saw a girl in a navy blue dress standing on the top of the carriage with a gloomy face, the blue hair under her hat constantly fluttering back in the wind, and the rain curtain could not hide her almost murderous expression:
"Can you change the time when you are looking for death, don't stand in my way to the parent-teacher conference, brute."
