Almost at the same time that the delphinium found the remnant, the feeding remnant also spotted the delphinch.

The two looked at each other for a short time, and the remnant beast jerked the corpse in its hand, bounced off the desk, and jumped straight towards the delphinium at the door.

"Roar!"

The delphinium turned slightly cold, and the wand appeared between the opening and closing of her palm, and at the same time as the remnant beast rushed in front of her, she jerked hard at its head.

While! Rumble!

The wand slammed the remnant to the ground.

The slain beast immediately struggled to its feet, and continued to let out a threatening roar, but the delphinium did not give it a chance to regain its strength, and turned its wand to its head, and the magic beam fired in a row, knocking its head into a puddle of ashes.

After disposing of the remnant, she quickly flew over to the corpse that had been left behind, and examined it, revealing that the unfortunate Alien Bureau employee had indeed lost his life.

This remnant beast that appeared in the office was not very powerful, probably only at the level of an egg, but for ordinary people, even magicians, it was like a monster like a natural disaster, and it was no wonder that it was able to cause such a miserable scene.

Except for the one employee who still had a whole corpse, the other victims couldn't even piece together a complete corpse, which shows what kind of atrocities the remnants of the beast had committed.

After searching the office and finding no useful information, Delphinium had to return to the door, opening her palms to the remnant on the ground, trying to retrieve the remnant's echoes.

However, with this attempt, the remains of the remnant dissipated into a puff of black smoke under her gaze, leaving nothing behind.

It's a remnant beast that doesn't reverberate.

It took a few seconds for Delphinium to realise this fact, but even with her own eyes, she couldn't believe it was true.

With her past knowledge and understanding, such a remnant beast could not have existed.

A remnant beast with no echo can almost be equivalent to it has no source of its own mana, and as a pure magical creature, a remnant beast without a source of mana is fundamentally impossible to survive.

The source of magic is to the remnant beast what the heart is to humans. Humans who have lost their hearts can't sustain their lives, and how can remnant beasts exist without a source of magical power? Even, can it hunt and fight itself like it did just now?

Delphinium couldn't understand.

It's just that, after a short period of confusion, she quickly threw this emotion behind her. Because she knew that now was not the time to think about it.

She knew exactly what her task was, and it was more important to investigate the current state of the Anomaly than to study why the beast didn't reverberate.

For example, why does the Alien Bureau not react when it encounters an attack by a remnant beast? Even if you can't win the battle, you can run away or take refuge, and you should notify the local magical girl to come and fight the remnant beast.

This question didn't bother Delphinium for long, because when she took out her phone and tried to ask the team in Bai'an City, the symbol displayed at the top of the screen gave the answer.

- [No Signal].

Delphinium was not surprised, but rather relieved, because her understanding of the situation was one step further: the signal here was cut off, and the message could not be transmitted.

She didn't know if the Bai'an City Alien Bureau had any special means of external communication, but she thought that there should be none.

In other words, from the moment it was attacked, the headquarters of the Alien Bureau, which was originally equivalent to a safe fortress, was turned into a huge airtight cage, locking the employees of the Alien Bureau and the remnants of the beast together.

What is the current situation of the Bai'an City Alien Policy Bureau?

Except for this murdered office, where have all the other employees gone?

How many people are still alive? Are there any other remnants here?

Delphinium: She needs to find out these issues first.

Putting away his wand and laying the dead Xenotactic staff flat on the ground, closing his eyes, the delphinium left the office. She continued to search the first floor of the Bureau, but no matter how much she searched, she couldn't find a single room with people.

The empty walkway echoed the sound of her footsteps, and the bright light shone directly on the tiles on the ground, reflecting white dots. These white dots form a line, as if leading to the infinite other side, as if the space here has also become a labyrinth with no end.

In the underground space where there is no day and night, no one can tell the difference between day and night, and the dead silence around them seems to swallow even time.

The delphinium began to feel that the atmosphere here was a little dull, even if the surrounding environment was bright and bright, it was difficult to erase the pervasive sense of disobedience. Most of the offices were as she had seen when she arrived, with doors wide open and furnishings scattered around, except for the sight of any living thing.

That's very wrong.

Delphinium thought to herself.

Even if it was attacked by the remnant beasts, there was no reason for the Alien Bureau to be as weird as it is now.

She could understand why there was no one here, after all, most of them would choose to flee in the face of the attack of the remnant beasts, and in this regard, the employees of the Alien Bureau were no different from real ordinary people.

But if things really are that simple, the Alien Bureau shouldn't be the way it is.

The biggest violations are two: the building is too well preserved, and there are not enough corpses.

It's not that Delphinium deliberately cursed the Alien Strategy, but judging from the facts, the remnant beast she eliminated should have been wreaking havoc in the Alien Strategy Bureau for quite some time.

The office where the remnant beast was located was hundreds of meters away from the hall of the Alien Bureau, and it was impossible for the remnant beast not to destroy and kill at such a long distance.

As a life that is born full of tyrannical instincts, the logic of a cruel beast's action is often to kill if there is a living thing, and destroy everything around it if there is no living thing.

Even if it was the remnant beast that appeared in Fangting City before, the evil cult of the Dawn of Ember transformed into it, it could not restrain the instinct of the remnant beast, and the logic of action would be completely brutalized.

Such a life, which has no reason to advance hundreds of meters, can completely suppress its instinct and not carry out any destruction.

Maybe it's really that the remnant beast is too special?

Delphinium wondered, but she still couldn't convince herself.

If the initial state of affairs was only out of Delphinium's expectations, now the situation is out of her imagination, and the whole picture is beginning to become confusing.

With many doubts and puzzles, but these doubts could not be answered in the investigation, Delphinium finally walked out of the office area and returned to the lobby on the first floor of the Alien Bureau.

As when she arrived, the hall was empty, with rows of lights embedded in the massive spherical roof, and the blazing white light was far brighter than the hallways of the office area.

Looking at the glass gates that stretched in all directions on the periphery of the hall, imagining the usual prosperity here, the delphinium paused slightly, and then shook its head.

She decided to take a look at the other floors.

Walking into the elevator next to the lobby and standing in the elevator compartment for a moment, she found that the elevator here only had a downward floor. The top floor is the -1F, and the other floors are descending in turn. Considering that this is an underground building, there is nothing wrong with this arrangement, and Delphinium didn't think much about it, and clicked the [-2F] button.

After a while, the elevator door slowly closed, and a breeze blew in the envelope, and in the midst of a roar, the elevator slowly descended, and after a while, it stopped, revealing the message of [-2F].

There were no accidents during this period, but it was a bit of a surprise to the delphinium.

Expressionlessly watching the elevator doors slowly open, the delphinium stepped out of the elevator door and looked towards the so-called negative second floor, trying to get a rough outline for the first time.

However, when she saw the furnishings around her, the sight in front of her made her feel a buzzing in her brain.

Because she didn't see anything on the second basement floor. In front of her, there was still a bright hall on the first basement floor.

Is the elevator not moving?

With this in mind, Delphinium turned around and walked into the elevator compartment and looked at the screen above, but the screen that said [-2F] had changed in her memory, showing [-1F].

Did you press the wrong one? Wrong?

Delphinium looked up, trying to find the button she remembered, and when she did, she realized how naïve she had been.

In fact, not to mention the [-2F] button from earlier, she couldn't even find any other numbers.

【-1F】

【-1F】

【-1F】

【-1F】

【-1F】

The buttons you see are all the same number.

A series of negative first-floor buttons are densely packed with control panels, and only this one number can be found in the entire elevator car, as if it is sneering silently at the delphinium.

Standing in place, looking at the control plate for a short time, the delphinium did not say anything, moved her legs, and jumped out of the elevator room, running towards the entrance of the stairs on the side.

With great force, he opened the door of the stairway and threw it aside, revealing a stairwell that led to both the upper and lower floors. Delphinium didn't think much of it, and ran straight downstairs, and when she came to the landing on the next floor, she slammed open the door of the stairway and rushed into the space outside the door.

- The hall that catches your eye is the hall.

The one that remains unchanged belongs to the hall on the first floor of the Bureau of Alien Policies.

The empty hall, the blazing lights, the humming of electricity, everything was exactly the same as the space she had come from, unchanged.

The delphinium was expressionless and continued to run.

This time, the target she ran for was the door to the hall, the glass gate where she came.

After passing through the gate, the white passage where she came was still in sight, as if she had finally arrived in a new space, but the delphinch's mood did not improve, and she still ran forward with a blank face.

She already had a vague feeling that things wouldn't be that simple.

In fact, it was true, as she returned the same way she came, back to the space where she was supposed to be, but what she saw in her eyes was not at all what she expected.

She still saw the glass gate.

A sandblasted one, the light from behind it revealed in the haze, but it covered the glass gate behind the door. It was exactly the same as the one she had seen when she came.

The delphinium looked at it for a moment, not showing any flustered emotion, but just moving on. After passing through the glass gate, she looked up and looked at the space behind the door once more.

Of course, this time, what she saw in her eyes did not surprise her again.

This is still the hall of the Alien Bureau.
