Chapter Forty-Six: Red Sihe's Speculation
It was another lunch break, and Lin Yun sat in his office, staring at the computer screen in a daze.
It was already a week ago that he went to Xia Liang's house to stay overnight, and Xia Liang's motivation for study and studies has obviously become stronger. Since then, the two newcomer magical girls have ushered in their summer vacation, while Lin Yun continues his hard work life.
Of course, it is said that it is hard work, mainly because of his self-pressure.
While working on the other hand, it is also necessary to properly review the school knowledge of junior high school to help Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang with tutoring. In addition to this, there is another priority: he has to crusade against the remnants.
I don't know if it's because it's summer.,So the remnants of the beast have become dense like mosquitoes.,The remnant beast that used to be seen only for ten days and a half months.,Now you can see one in a few days.。
Even the other day, at the same time, there were attacks in two different locations.
It's also a shame that Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang are barely at the beginning of their combat power, even if they deal with stronger eggs, it is not a problem, and in the end, they split up with Delphinium and solved the remnants of the beasts in two places at the same time.
And no matter how clear he is about his own ability, Lin Yun has to admit that the magical girl team in Fangting City is beginning to lack people.
There is a shortage of personnel in combat, in teaching and training, and even in information investigation.
Regarding the records of remnant beasts in Fangting City in the past few years, he and Hong Sihe had already found a lot of clues in the search, and it was almost certain that there were other hidden remnant beasts. But it is precisely because of the lack of information that it is not known whether any of them have reached the chrysalis level.
In such a situation, coupled with the fact that he has indeed gained a lot through the crusade against the remnant beasts recently, and has achieved a lot of reverberations, Lin Yun couldn't help but have such a thought in his heart: Otherwise, he will completely give up his plan to live in seclusion, and just resign?
The remnants obtained by the magical girl to expel the remnant beast can actually be used to obtain wealth.
Although it cannot be directly exchanged for money in the material world, even if it is to obtain the currency of the kingdom, or to exchange it for gold, silver, and jewelry, it is necessary to turn contributions into money.
If you don't mind being arrested by the Inquisitor after being exposed, the magical girl can also exchange her contributions for supplies or weapons, and sell them to the civilians of the realm or the lower level magicians of the material world, which is a profitable deal.
Of course, few people are willing to exchange the identity and power of a magical girl for this kind of wealth that cannot see the light. As a result, weapons and supplies from the Magical Realm are still highly priced among the Magicians of the Material Realm.
As Lin Yun's lifelong magical girl, as long as he wants, he can give up his current job and take the crusade of remnants as his main source of income. In fact, Anya always called herself a freelancer before her death, and this "freelance profession" was a magical girl. At that time, she even teased Lin Yun about whether to let her be the one to support the whole family.
Right now, a lifestyle similar to Anya's was already in front of Lin Yun: to earn rewards by crusading against remnant beasts, he only needed to take out a small part of the remnants to subsidize his family, and the rest could be used to improve the strength of the team.
This kind of life sounds very feasible, but Lin Yun is still making a choice.
There is no other reason than reluctance.
At the age of seventeen, he chose to give up continuing to be a magical girl, return to the life of ordinary people, concentrate on the college entrance examination and find a job, and it was never a choice out of profit.
He didn't want to be a magical girl, or even have anything to do with the magical realm anymore, and to this day he refuses to contact the realm in person, for many more complicated reasons.
As he thought of this, a memory crossed his mind: it was a scene in a small hospital room, and the man in the bed smiled and said something to himself.
“…… Dad, was my choice really right? ”
Leaning back in his seat, he couldn't help but mutter.
However, there is no doomed answer to this question, and the person who can give him the answer is no longer in the world, and even buried in the corner of memory by time, and can no longer speak to himself.
Immersed in his thoughts, just as he was still struggling with his next choice, suddenly, the cell phone in his pocket rang.
Pick up the phone, the contact shown on it is Hongsi.
He looked at the screen, paused slightly, picked up his phone, and pressed the call button: "Hey? ”
"Senpai, are you there?" Hong Siyu's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hmm." He replied in a low voice.
"Have you recruited any new recruits recently?" The voice on the other side was rather frivolous.
Lin Yun looked at the computer screen and said indifferently: "If there is nothing important, can I hang up your phone?" ”
"Revealing that there will be no shortage of meat, there is no code name 'Xiaojin' in the records of the Different Strategy Bureau, which is enough to show how trustworthy I am, right?" Hongsi was a little dissatisfied.
"No is no, I just had a headache and a lack of manpower."
"Huh-"
Hong Sihe dragged out his voice, obviously a little unconvinced, but did not continue to entangle: "So, I have a message here, do you want to hear it?" ”
"Say." Lin Yun was concise and to the point.
"Okay, that's about the aid I talked about earlier. I then contacted the bureaus of several other cities, and they received similar responses from local seeders, all of whom said that they could not send manpower. ”
There was some indescribable emotion in Hong Sihe's voice: "However, the New Testament City and Jinglan City's different bureaus, the answers they get from the sowers are ...... More interesting? ”
"What answer?" Lin Yun frowned slightly.
Hong Sihe asked a little abruptly: "Senior, did you ask me before, saying that I have something to hide from you?" ”
"Yes, I did."
"That's just right, it's time for me to ask you this question."
Hong Sihe's voice became calm from lightness: "You used to be, did you have something you didn't tell us?" ”
Lin Yun's face was slightly condensed, but his voice still did not fluctuate: "I don't know, what do you want to say?" ”
"Because I've gotten some answers from them, maybe not quite the same as I thought they would."
After a pause between words, Hong Sihe continued, "Do you want me to read it?" ”
“…… Read it. Lin Yun was a little helpless.
Because he had roughly guessed what the "different answer" was for what Red Si and said.
The sound of her fingernails touching the screen came from the other end of the phone, it seemed that Hong Sihe was operating something on the phone, and after a while, her voice came again:
"The sower of Tane City, 'Picari' said, 'It's about to be the next 20th year, so I don't want to go into this troubled water.'" ”
"The sower of Jinglan City, the original words of 'Xiao Youyou' are: 'Are you talking about Fangting City? That one is in that Fangting City? Why don't you forget it? People don't dare to go anyway. ’”
"And even when others try to ask, they still appear to be secretive."
After saying this, seeing that Lin Yun was silent, Hong Si and the other end were also silent for a while.
After a while, her voice sounded again with hesitation: "Senior, what are they talking about...... Or at least, it's not because of the Inquisition, is it? ”
Lin Yun closed his eyes.
Just like he always insisted that his code name was "Delphinch" in front of Moko, although this was indeed the name he used now, it was also because this was Fangting City, and he was worried that Moke would react to his previous code name.
Sowers, or fairies, they are different from magical girls, at least in a certain kind of thing, they always know more than magical girls.
"Ha, of course, I can guess if you don't say it, although I'm not sure either."
Lin Yun remained silent, and Hong Sihe continued as if he was talking to himself; "I didn't become a magical girl at that time, but Sister Shengzi told me that in the 'Garden' defense battle 20 years ago, you were summoned to the Rose Palace......
- "That's enough, Red Sihe. ”
Interrupting her with a voice, Lin Yun opened his eyes, his expression was a little blank, and he could even be said to be a little cold: "No need to continue, you have already guessed correctly." ”
"Sure enough?"
"Well, at least part of it, you're right."
"That's really, unimaginably unthinkable."
There was a slight sigh in Hong Siyu's voice: "I see, no second magical girl dares to do this, right?" ”
"Who knows?" Obviously, he didn't want to continue the topic, and Lin Yun was noncommittal.
"So, that means we really won't have reinforcements, right?"
"Well, it won't."
"In that case......
Probably feeling the stiffness of the atmosphere, Hongsi took the initiative to divert the topic and said, "Senior, you said before that you are doing special training for newcomers for next year's certification test?" ”
"Yes." Hearing her talk about this, Lin Yun also remobilized a little emotional.
"So, if you can't spare time in the short term, why don't you try something else?"
Hong Sihe asked a little apprehensively, "For example, let me go and see?" ”
