Chapter 136: The Way Home

Thirty-three-year-old Hong Sihe once forgot the word "miracle".

Just as she expected when she was a student, she became the most ordinary worker, working in a strange city.

Of course, she said that she was an employee, but in fact, the place where she worked was a little special, not an ordinary private enterprise or institution, but a different policy bureau.

At the age of twenty-two, she ran away from Fangting City.

After graduating from college and getting her diploma, she left the city, and she didn't even say hello to her teammates, just sent a message in a group and disappeared into the harbor without a sound.

She did not attend the wedding of Anya and Lin Yun, nor did she attend the full moon ceremony of the two children.

This was not her original intention, she had been trying to maintain a smooth relationship with Anya, but in the end, she found that she couldn't. So she had no choice but to run away, and in this way she fled to a city where no one knew her, and she didn't know anyone else.

She went to the central city farthest away from Fangting City in Donghua Prefecture-Tiandu, where she registered and spent the rest of her magical girl career.

Later, Anya called her several times to communicate, hoping that Hong Sihe would return to Fangting City, but she only politely declined.

Anya didn't do anything wrong, she just pursued her love, and she got a response. In this matter, she could have left herself alone, because she was not the one who took advantage of it.

Hong Siyu thinks so.

She knew that Anya was a person who seemed confused, but was actually sensitive, and her tolerance and gentleness towards her friends were also the reason why Anya could become the captain of the Fangting City team. Even if Hong Si and her attitude on this matter is so bad, she still hopes to repair their relationship with her.

On the other hand, her performance in this matter was so ruthless, Hong Siyu felt that even she was disappointed in her behavior.

But she really couldn't.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this reason that she has never been able to make a breakthrough in her ability to open up her abilities later, and she has stayed at the bud level forever. After all, the wish she made when she became a magical girl was to become happy.

Later, Hong Sihe had a fixed residence in Tiandu, took his mother there, and settled down completely. The magical girl's term of office expired for ten years, and she naturally chose to retire, and then entered the General Bureau of the Alien Bureau in Tiandu. Except for following her mother home during the New Year's holidays and meeting those relatives she didn't know well, Fangting City completely disappeared from her life.

Later, her mother died of illness, and she never returned to Fangting City.

Anya still calls from time to time, and Hong Sihe occasionally connects to listen to the other party tell what happened in Fangting City.

After getting married, Anya's personality is obviously a little more mature than when she was young, although she still makes fools without boundaries, but she is much more sophisticated in human affairs. She would tell Hong Si and Fang Ting City how many new people there were, and even deliberately introduce the new people to Hong Sihe, but she wouldn't mention letting them go back again, just silently expressing her thoughts.

Hong Sihe didn't give a response in this regard, as if she didn't hear Anya's off-strings.

In this way, time flew by, and one day it began, and Anya did not call her again.

At first, she only felt relieved, thinking that Anya had finally given up the senseless persuasion and let go of the past. But soon, a message came out from within the Alien Bureau, and she was stunned.

- The strongest flower card in the magic country, Sakura, sacrificed.

The moment she learned of Anya's death, she didn't even know how to describe her feelings.

Happy? Easy? Happy?

She couldn't deny that the feelings that would make her feel self-loathing overflowed uncontrollably from her heart at that moment.

The object of his envy and avoidance for so many years disappeared from the world.

But she knew that this dark idea was not the whole story.

After that, she took the initiative to apply to the General Bureau of the Alien Policy Bureau of Tiandu City, wanting to be transferred to Fangting City, while assisting in the cultivation and liaison work of the junior magical girl, while investigating the cause of Anya's death.

The General Directorate agreed to her request and sent her back to Fangting City.

This also means that after many years, she can finally see the person she cares about and likes again.

What face should I use to face my predecessors? Thinking so, on the first day of returning to Fangting City, she couldn't wait to go to Anya and Lin Yun's house, and in the end, she saw Lin Yun as she wished.

But she never thought that the Lin Yun she saw again would be like that.

It was a thin middle-aged man with no sparkle in his eyes and a scruffy beard on his face. His clothes are still neat and tidy, but no matter how tall the suit is, he can't correct a person's spirit, he looks so vicissitudes and loss, Hong Sihe can't even find a trace of the past from this man.

He is no longer the handsome boy he used to be.

Even when he saw him, he didn't have any special reaction, just said hello very simply.

Is this the man I have remembered for so many years, fled to other cities to be an ostrich for so many years, and now I have to rush back to meet him?

At that moment, Hong Sihe only felt ridiculous.

However, the next sentence said by the man in front of her made her feel as if something was pulling at her heart.

"Go back, back to your own life."

He stood at the door, and there was no emotion in his dark eyes: "Don't get involved in this matter, there is nothing worth your nostalgia here." ”

Hong Sihe didn't know what kind of mentality the man in front of her was holding to say this, but when she heard this, she felt that she had to do something.

Whether it's for him or for himself, he should do something.

But what could she do?

She herself is just a coward, an unlucky person, an idiot who ran away to a strange city alone and hid for eleven years because the person she likes married someone else, what can she do for the man in front of her?

She has always been not good at words, and she is not good at interacting with people, and her personality determines that she will not be a person who can enlighten others.

At the age of thirty-three, she no longer has the youth of a girl, no power as a magical girl, and no concern for her past companions. She stood there, but she and the man in front of her were no longer the same people, he was an innocent citizen whose wife had been killed, and she was an official employee of the Alien Bureau.

There had never been a moment when she felt so far away from this man.

The passing time has silently alienated everything, all the innocence and beauty of the past, the youth and ignorance have gone forever, leaving two people who have been alienated by life, looking so unbearable and ugly.

Miracles and magic once embraced them, but for some reason they failed to leave even a trace on their bodies, and the shining magical girl career seemed to be a dream, and after the dream ended, all that remained in reality was a pile of dregs.

It shouldn't be like this.

Red thinks so.

She knew that the man in front of her had once obtained the right to be a "magical girl for life", even if he was seriously injured back then and could no longer exert that power, but he still had a miraculous fire on his body.

He shouldn't be like this, he can't be like this.

However, can a stupid person like himself really convey his heart well?

Is there any way to break through this barrier between the two of them, and tell him out loud those words that he did not dare to say and never said?

Even she didn't know why, and at that moment, she subconsciously chose a plan. She tried to put on a smile that she had never had, and said to the man with a rather bold gesture:

"What, it's obvious that I've seen a junior I haven't seen for many years, why do I have to have this sad face?"

She's not someone who smiles like that, she's not someone who says that, she's always used to keeping things in her heart. But now, she's forcing herself to speak up, like someone, honestly.

Because, she knows, she has always envied that person.

She envied that person's honesty, that person's optimism, that person's persistence, and that person did everything she hadn't done.

That's why she can successfully get her love, and she will come together with this man.

If it were her, what would she say when she saw her husband become like this? If it were her, what would she think if she knew that she was dead? If it were her, what would she do when she wanted to encourage someone?

Thinking and thinking like this, Hong Sihe began to laugh, began to make trouble, and began to gag.

She knew who she was learning.

She didn't really want that person to die at all. Even if it was because of her death that she had the opportunity to stand here, if it was possible, she would rather stay here than that person.

But now, the lost life is irretrievable, and all she can do is imitate.

She wants to be Anya.

……

……

Thirty-three-year-old Hong Sihe wants to find a miracle.

And if she wants to find a miracle and regain the ambition of "Lin Yun", she must first find out the cause of Anya's death.

The Fangting City team 18 years ago has become history, and now the magical girls stationed in Fangting City have also left to track down the real culprit. As the only person left in the city, many tasks were placed on Hong Sihe.

She is responsible for the connection with the local bureau; She has to assist the next sower in raising a new magical girl; She wants to investigate what happened to Anya before she died. To do this, she had to liaise with the local bureau.

After consulting remotely with the local executives, and after booking a time, she went to the local Bureau of Alien Policy building during the daylight of the second day.

After returning from Tiandu City and seeing the grandeur of the General Bureau of Different Policies, Hong Sihe was surprised to find that the Great Strategies Bureau that used to be a tall and spacious building in her memory now seems to be just an ordinary building.

Walking through the halls of the building, there seemed to be a few familiar faces among the employees of the Alien Strategy Bureau, who might have met with him more than ten years ago, but Hong Sihe couldn't remember it at all.

However, among those new faces, many people noticed Hong Sihe and kept casting their eyes at her as they walked.

I don't know why, these glances made Hong Siyu feel subtle discomfort.

It didn't seem to be looking at a colleague's eyes, nor was it looking at the opposite sex, there seemed to be something else hidden in it, an inexplicable malice.

But she didn't pay much attention to it, just quickened her pace away from the sight of the men, and then shook her head, shaking off the discomfort. From the elevator all the way up, and through the busy crowd, she quickly walked to the door of the director's office. After knocking lightly on the door, and after waiting for a while, she heard a voice coming from inside the door:

"Please come in."

When Hong Sihe walked in, he saw a blonde woman who looked energetic and somewhat elderly sitting in the office, smiling and nodding in greeting.

"First time we met, my name was Mosse."

She said quite politely: "Hello, comrade from Tiandu. ”

Perhaps because of the action and tone of the details, her words make people feel like a spring breeze.

She wasn't the director of the Alien Bureau in Hong Sihe's memory, when Red Sihe left Fangting City eleven years ago, the director here was still an old bald man in the Mediterranean.

It's a replacement.

Hong Sihe did not doubt him, and stepped forward to shake hands with the other party: "Okay, I'm Hong Sihe." ”

"Thank you for coming, this is a great honor for us in Fangting City."

The elderly lady who called herself Mousse said this, shook her hand with Red Si and shook her hand slightly, and then opened it easily: "I hope we can work together happily in the future." ”

Hongsi saw her hands, which didn't match the age of the mousse's surface, and looked white and smooth.

This lady seems to be very good at maintenance.

She thought so, but at the same time, she began to feel that something was wrong.

The two of them sat down facing each other on both sides of the desk, and after a short rest, Mousse spoke first: "So, although it is a bit presumptuous to ask this question, I still want to confirm first, you came to our Fangting City, did your superiors assign any tasks?" ”

Her tone was very calm, but there was a subtle sense of discomfort in Hong Siyu's ears. She began to look at everything around her, but she still couldn't find the source of the discomfort.

But this is a different situation, what can be done in broad daylight to make you feel so uncomfortable?

"I'm sorry, I can't reveal this just yet."

Thinking like this in his heart, Hong Sihe shook his head on the surface and said politely to the other party: "But this is just the needs of the task, and I will tell you when the time comes." ”

"Well, then I won't force it."

Moss smiled kindly: "I wish the General Bureau's secret mission to be successfully completed, and we are ready to assist you in your work if you need it." ”

The two of them chatted endlessly like this, and from time to time Moss asked Hong Sihe some questions that he couldn't beat, and Red Sihe considered the words and tried to give answers as cautiously as possible.

But slowly, as time went on, Hongsi felt more uncomfortable.

The uncomfortable sensation was hard to describe, like being tickled from the inside of her body with a feather, and a tingling sensation with pain spread from her arm, making it difficult for her to concentrate.

She began to feel a little dizzy in her head.

Something seemed to be ringing in her head, squirming, clacking, creabling, as if it was moving through her brain, stirring, making her feel more and more dizzy.

"Speaking of which, I've heard a rumor before, it is said that there are many retired magical girls in the strange strategy bureau of a big city like Tiandu, has Miss Hong heard of this?"

Moss suddenly brought up the topic, looked at Hong Sihe with interest, and said, "That's an interesting rumor, right?" ”

It seems that you should answer the questions yourself.

Red Si told himself so.

But at this moment, she found that she could no longer open her mouth, her body seemed to be no longer under her control, and her consciousness seemed to be separated from her body, divided into two.

She began to feel her vision darken.

Good...... Odd......

She began to feel her brain spinning.

Myself...... What's wrong?

She began to feel lighter.

I am...... Who?

She began to feel the urge to fly.

Trying to raise his hand, he reached for the inside of his coat, where he hid the weapons that the General Bureau of Alien Strategies had given to his subordinate staff, allowing ordinary people who had not mastered magic to fight against magicians. Red Siyu tried to get it out because she felt like she had met an enemy.

But she couldn't do it anymore.

The legs that stood up did not have the ability to support the body, and the weak feet did not have the strength to walk forward, so Hong Sihe just crossed his body from the seat and fell heavily to the ground.

In her confusion, she seemed to see Mousse get up from behind her desk and walk in front of her. Then, he slowly stretched out his hand to himself.

The picture freezes in that moment.

On the fingertips of that hand, a moth rested quietly.
