"Well, nothing, I'll be back in another month. When you're with your friends, be careful not to play too much and don't fall behind in school. Especially when you said that Delphinium is going out recently, if you don't have her watching, you have to learn self-discipline. ”

On the slow-moving landboard, a deep male voice rang out in the seat by the window.

"Aunt Red is going over there to take care of you? Does she cook? Or do I have a part-time worker cook where you live? ”

Lin Yun held the mobile phone, leaned back on the seat, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Can you do it yourself?" Are you sure? ”

His voice fell, and there seemed to be a girl's voice on the other end of the phone buzzing, Lin Yun listened attentively, and spoke again after a while, and said with a little helplessness in his words: "Okay, okay, you are not a child anymore, you know, Dad shouldn't question you like this." ”

After explaining some trivial things in life, he hung up the phone and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Two days had passed since he received the notice from the Investigation Institute, and at the request of his "top boss" Golden Green Cat's Eye, he left Fangting City and embarked on the road to Bai'an City.

And because he had to leave Fangting City, he had to face a troublesome problem: Lin Yun and Delphinium would disappear from Fangting City together.

Considering that Lin Xiaolu may go home halfway, if she finds out that her father is also inexplicably not at home, it is difficult to guarantee that she will have some strange associations, Lin Yun can only inform Lin Xiaolu as a father first: he is going on a business trip.

Fortunately, before, he had told Lin Xiaolu that he might be on a business trip, just in case, and now he just happened to respond to what he said at the time, so he did not further arouse Lin Xiaolu's suspicions.

After that, he announced to the three newcomers that he might leave Fangting City for a while.

Naturally, this news caused a strong reaction from the three little ones.

Lin Xiaolu was the one who couldn't hide his thoughts, and after hearing that Delphinium would leave Fangting City, he immediately asked a series of questions: Is there anything he will never come back again, is there anything dissatisfied with them, and is the task in Fangting City completed...... almost wrote the words "don't go" on his face, but it took a lot of effort for Delphinium to calm it down.

Xia Liang's reaction was relatively mature, and the first thing she thought of was the identity of Delfinch's "patrol envoy", and asked Delphinium if she had received any new tasks. After receiving an affirmative answer, he expressed his concern in a timely manner.

As for Bai Jingxuan, she behaved quite calmly and well-behaved, easily accepting the fact that Delphinium would leave, but at the same time raising her own question: how to proceed with the next magic practice and course.

She has only been in the team for a short time, and although she has some affection for the other magical girls in the team, her feelings are not so deep. She seems to be more concerned about the lack of a mentor for the team after Delphinium leaves.

Her worries were not unreasonable, and in fact, Delphinium had also considered it. Several substitution options were proposed:

The first is to find Hong Sihe, although Hong Sihe has no magic now, but her knowledge reserve is no problem; The second is that she leaves a follow-up training plan, and then contacts the newcomers through her mobile phone every once in a while to understand the situation and correct them; The last one is that all the members of the Fangting City team go to Bai'an City.

The girls unanimously asked for the third option, but after much thought, the delphinium still did not agree.

Because the city we are going to this time is the city where the investigation team of the Investigation Institute has disappeared, and I don't know what kind of enemy is ambushing there. In any case, the safety of the newcomers is the most important.

Therefore, even though Lin Xiaolu strongly opposed the first plan, the final result was that one or two plans were in parallel, that is, Hongsi and were responsible for the daily counseling of the girls, and Delphinium tested its results in stages.

After this was finalized, the next day, Lin Yun boarded the land ship that left Fangting City and went to Bai'an City.

In order to ensure that there were no problems with the arrangements of all parties, he also reported to Lin Xiaolu as his father that he was safe, and briefly inquired about his situation after leaving, before hanging up the phone with confidence.

Sitting by the window, looking at the land-based plank road surrounded by layers of protective nets outside the window, and the endless barren Gobi outside the plank road, Lin Yun was silent for a while.

Next, it is time to officially start the task assigned by the Investigation Institute.

According to the information obtained through the magic mirror that night, the Cattail team of the Investigation Institute was lost about a week ago.

After being interrogated by the Investigation Institute, the Cattail Team learned that there were still traces of claw marks in the southern part of the Donghua Prefecture, so they returned to the Donghua Prefecture again and began to investigate based on the information provided by the Sparrow.

After inspecting many cities, they finally went to Bai'an City according to their scheduled itinerary.

It's just that this is the last message they left to the Inquisition.

In the days that followed, the Cattail Squad, which was supposed to make a daily report to the Investigation Agency, did not hear from again, and even though the Communications Department of the Investigation Institute took the initiative to contact them, there was still no response.

After that, the investigation institute inquired with the Bai'an City's Alien Bureau and the seeders, and learned that the Maowei team had indeed been to Bai'an City. It's just that they didn't ask for the help of the local resident magical girl, and just had a simple exchange and left.

No one knows where they went after that.

Considering the danger of this matter, the Investigation Institute once again dispatched two investigation teams to Bai'an City to investigate; At the same time, the nearest inspector was contacted and asked to go to Bai'an City to assist in the work.

And this unlucky patrol envoy who was selected was naturally the Delphinium who lived in the southern part of Donghua Prefecture.

Delphinium did not refuse this.

The incident happened in Donghua Prefecture, which was also near the city where he lived, which meant that danger could spread to Fangting City at any time. If he refuses, he will wait for the investigation institute to send other inspectors to deal with it, and it is not known what variables will arise.

More critically, according to the report, the status of the cattail team is "missing", a term that makes her have some associations.

Because one thing she has always wondered about is that there is still a "missing" sower in Fangting City.

The sower named Nini also "disappeared" after going to Donghua Prefecture and Fangting City to succeed him. Neither the Alien Bureau of Fangting City nor the Wang Court knew anything about its movements, and no one even knew if it had ever been in office.

This situation is very similar to what happened to the cattail team right now.

Delphinch didn't think it was a coincidence, especially since the attack on Fang Ting City by Sparrow and others was also suspicious before, so in order to thoroughly investigate the matter, she chose to take the initiative.

The scene on both sides of the plank road gradually changes with the advance of the land plank road, and when the ship approaches the destination of the trip, Bai'an City, the lonely and barren scene outside the plank road also disappears, and the trace of greenery appears in people's field of vision.

As the ship docked at the mooring place on the boardwalk, the radio sounded, informing the passengers of the landwalker that the trip had ended. Lin Yun put away his mobile phone, stood up from his seat, took his duffel bag, and walked down the deck with the flow of people.

Leaving the ship and stepping into the port, the bustling scene made him feel a little unreal for a while.

In the spacious waiting hall, the bustling crowd varies: some people are hurrying with their luggage, some are holding their children carefully to avoid the crowds, and some are resting on the seats in the hall and boredly scrolling through their mobile phones.

Outside the security checkway, there is a huge shopping mall, located between the port building and the external entrance, occupying the most prime position and bustling with people.

Walking through the shopping mall, Lin Yun could see the surrounding shops and restaurants with different forms of tourists, including tourists from other places like him, as well as locals who had spent money in the mall before traveling. The exuberant popularity dilutes the gloomy mood of passing through the vast barren land, and it is enough to make people who have just stepped out of the ship quickly feel the fireworks of civilization.

This also calmed Lin Yun's originally somewhat restless mood.

After all, just looking at the information provided by the Investigation Institute, Bai'an City is like an abyssal maw that can devour magical girls at any time, and the entire city is already shrouded in the clouds of crisis.

It is only when he comes here in person, sees the lives of ordinary people with his own eyes, and sees that they are still living a stable daily life, that Lin Yun will realize again that the magic side has never been the whole of this world.

It's just that if you don't solve the hidden threat behind it, the current prosperity will be just a phantom that will be destroyed at a poke after all.

Regrouping his emotions, Lin Yun straightened his mentality and walked out along the shopping mall.

After passing through the outer safe passageway, we came to the outer square, and the dense work vehicles in the driveway were slowly driving slowly with luggage and supplies. He made his way through the traffic, walked out of the parking lot, and finally officially entered the city of Bai'an in the evening.

After making an appointment with the pick-up vehicle through his mobile phone, he waited expressionlessly on the parking ground outside the port, during which many people enthusiastically came over and wanted to recommend tour groups and hotels to him, but Lin Yun's indifferent expression and cold temperament quickly made them retreat and look for other targets with interest.

And Lin Yun didn't care about those people at all, in addition to the fact that he had already booked the hotel where he lived, but also because his first goal now was not to go to the hotel to put his luggage and rest.

The situation was urgent, even if it was already evening, it did not affect him to immediately go to the first destination of this trip, the Bai'an City Alien Bureau.
