Tian Sheng felt as if he had a dream. In my dream, I felt like a nimble moth, flying freely in the air and resting peacefully on the walls.

The troubles of being a human being have nothing to do with him, and the concerns of being a human no longer constitute a bond, and the form of life has changed, but his will has also been consumed in the change.

He begins to forget that he is Tian Sheng, and he begins to believe that he is a moth. Did Tian Sheng dream of a moth, or did a moth dream of Tian Sheng?

In the midst of this misty thinking, he was brought back to reality by the azure light.

Click, click, like the crisp sound of scissors echoing in his heart. With such a voice, he felt his consciousness become clear again, and his body became light, as if something had been stripped from him, and what bound him was erased.

Then, Tian Sheng woke up from his sleep.

When he awoke, he was in the midst of ruins, and he saw a thread of glowing blue light extending from his chest, stretching out into the sky.

He looked up and followed the silk thread into the sky, only to see a petite figure standing under the night sky in the sky, and the intricate silk threads spread out from her back like wings, connecting countless people like himself.

For some reason, a thought arose in his heart: he was saved.

And the figure like an angel in the world was firmly imprinted in his mind before he fell unconscious again.

……

……

- "Oda, hey, Oda! Let me ask you, what's the matter with you? ”

The call in his ears brought Tian Sheng back to reality, and he looked in front of him, only to see a young man wearing the uniform of the Alien Strategy Bureau looking at him inexplicably: "Ask you what you have for lunch, why is it like losing your soul?" Too much? ”

"Ah...... I'm sorry. ”

Still reminiscing about his somewhat misty dream, Tian Sheng blinked his eyes, wiped his face a little embarrassedly, and stood up from his workstation: "I'm distracted again." ”

At the beginning of November, in the late autumn, in the afternoon, two weeks had passed since the large-scale beast attack on the full moon festival.

As the first line of the city to deal with the events on the magic side, the impact of the Alien Bureau was huge, not only was the main building destroyed, and nearly double-digit employees were lost, but even the director of the Alien Bureau, Moss, was missing in this incident.

What's even more bizarre is that as the first scene of the attack, no one in the Strange Strategy Bureau knows what happened. The surviving employees only felt that they had dreamed a dream, and when they woke up, they were lying in a ruin, and the remnants of the beast had been destroyed, and the sky was already dawning.

Tian Sheng is also one of the comatose people, and his experience is even more laughable - he took the recruitment exam of the Heterocratic Bureau and passed the line, but lost consciousness on the day he went to the headquarters to report for his position. According to his estimate of his date, he probably spent more than three days in a deep coma.

In the end, this incident was qualitatively summarized as "a coordinated attack of a remnant beast with hypnotic and psychedelic abilities and a suspected metamorphosis remnant beast planned by Ember Dawn".

The main body of the incident is rumored to have been killed by the magical girl, but there are still a large number of members of the remnants of Ember Dawn who have not been captured and are still in hiding and wandering.

In addition to eliminating these remnants of gangsters, but also participating in the aftermath and repair of the disaster, the Alien Bureau, which has just recovered from the disaster, urgently needs to start a new round of work.

Thanks to the efforts of the Magicians and all parties, the headquarters building of the Bureau of Alien Affairs was rebuilt in about a week. However, it will be difficult to replenish the lost staff for a while, let alone the compensation and settlement of the injured and injured employees. Therefore, a newly hired employee like Tian Sheng has also been sent to the front line, and he has been involved in fierce magical armed conflicts several times in recent times.

If it were for Tian Sheng's original level of magic and technique, he would definitely not have had the opportunity to participate in such a fierce battle, but now, he has not only been on the front line, but has also become a very effective combat force.

Yes, Tian Sheng's magic has become stronger.

When he didn't know it, his magical power was greatly strengthened, directly beyond the level of prying and contact, reaching the highest level of control among the magic envoys, and even showing an upward trend.

This is the most incredible thing that has happened to him in this time.

He vaguely felt that this had something to do with his previous dream of becoming a moth, and his dream that he had become a moth did not seem to be completely false.

He was far from alone in the coma of the attack, but no one else had had a dream similar to him.

"Dreaming of being a moth" seems to be his unique experience.

Because of this, he always subconsciously reminisces about that strange dream. I want to grab something from the memories that are about to blur.

Standing up from his workstation and following the young man in front of him out of the office, Tian Sheng walked in the corridor of the Alien Bureau building, only feeling that his current life had an inexplicable sense of unreality.

A month ago, he was an ordinary nurse in a welfare home, conducting unconventional research, and dreaming all day long of passing the exam and entering the Alien Bureau. And because the only savings were spent on the research of the technique, life was quite poor, and he was nearly thirty years old but he didn't even have a girlfriend.

According to universal values, he didn't talk about failure before, but it definitely didn't have much to do with 'success'.

But now, he has not only successfully joined the Alien Bureau, but also made a strange gain in an inexplicable attack, becoming a rookie among the fighters of the Alien Bureau?

Is you really still the same person? Could it really be as he thought, not that he dreamed of a moth, but that a moth dreamed of him, and everything in front of him was just a dream of a moth?

"Hey! Why are you wandering again? ”

The young man walking in front of him suddenly turned his head and slapped Tian Sheng on the shoulder: "It's time to the cafeteria, it's time to eat!" What are you still thinking about? Want to be beautiful? ”

"Ah, sorry, sorry!" Tian Sheng came back to his senses and hurriedly walked towards the window in front of him.

The young man who traveled with him was named Li Yingwei, the captain of the third squad of the Special Operations Department of the Different Strategy Bureau, and his boss.

The other party is one year younger than him, and at the age of 27, he has become a master-level magician, and he has repeatedly made contributions to the fight against the gray magic organization, so he became the captain at this age.

Li Yingwei seems to have been born in a family that has studied magic for generations, and his family has been magicians for generations, with a deep research accumulation, and his family has a good influence in Fangting City. In addition, Li Yingwei has a good appearance and a bold and cheerful personality, and he has always been the object of attention of young female colleagues in the different strategy bureau.

It's just that, according to other members of the same team, Li Yingwei is still single.

He seems to have been pursuing a female liaison surnamed Hong in the Archives Department before, and I heard that although the other party is older than him, she is also a famous beauty in the Alien Bureau, and she is still transferred from Tiandu City, and her background is quite mysterious.

Unfortunately, in the previous attack, the liaison officer was seriously injured and chose to take a long leave of absence to go to another place for physical treatment.

This seems to have dealt a big blow to Li Yingwei, and since the re-establishment of the Alien Bureau, he has been searching everywhere for traces of the remnants of the Ember Dawn. And because Tian Sheng joined the third squad during this period and had an outstanding combat performance, Li Yingwei was quite optimistic about him, so he took him to dinner at noon.

"Alas, I ended up working hard for a week, and I didn't catch a few big fish."

Sitting on the edge of the dining table, Li Yingwei stirred the food on the plate: "I heard that this Ember Dawn has borrowed the power of the remnant beast, why haven't I seen it until now?" ”

"If you see it, it's all gone......

Tian Sheng couldn't help but shake his head: "Captain, it's better for you to think of something practical." ”

"Why is it unrealistic?"

Li Yingwei was a little unconvinced: "Our team plus you now have three controllers, and everyone is fully armed, even if you really encounter a remnant beast, you can touch it, maybe you can kill it?" ”

"That's just the weakest remnant, right?" Tian Sheng stuffed a mouthful of rice into his mouth.

"How strong can a man be when he borrows the power of a remnant beast?" Li Yingwei lifted his chopsticks.

How strong can a man be when he borrows the power of a remnant beast?

Tian Sheng didn't know the answer to this question, but he felt that Li Yingwei was not right. Although there is no evidence, every time he recalls the dream of turning into a moth, he always feels more wonderful in his heart.

Is it really possible for a human being to be transformed into a remnant beast?

Even, if at that time, the dream self was not awakened by that angelic existence, can it still exist like this now?

Thinking like this, Tian Sheng's movements couldn't help but slow down again.

"Distracted again? You're really weird today! ”

Seeing Tian Sheng's eyes gradually empty, Li Yingwei couldn't help but tap the plate with chopsticks: "What do you think, come back, come back!" ”

“…… I'm sorry. Tian Sheng smiled embarrassedly, but he was not embarrassed to admit that he was thinking about the magical girl, "There is a bit of a situation at home these days. ”

"At home? I remember you don't have a girlfriend, right? ”

Li Yingwei glanced at him suspiciously: "Is there a situation for the old man?" ”

"Not to that extent......" Tian Sheng said vaguely.

"Forget it, it's your own business anyway, and I don't care if you don't want to say it."

Li Yingwei suddenly laughed: "However, if you really feel sorry, just help me do something." ”

"What's the matter?" Tian Sheng was puzzled.

"Run errands and send the combat records of our third squad to the director's office." Li Yingwei picked up the meat on the plate: "It's very simple, right?" ”

"Director's Office? But isn't our director already ......" Tian Sheng paused slightly, and then realized, "The new director is here?" ”

"Yes, I should send a notice in the group at noon, and I will come to the meeting in the afternoon to speak."

Li Yingwei stuffed the meat into his mouth: "Before that, go to the director's office to get acquainted with the new leader, what an errand, right?" ”

"Captain, aren't you going to go by yourself?" Tian Sheng always felt that something was wrong.

"I was supposed to go, but I didn't want to." Li Yingwei grinned, "I glanced at the new director from a distance before, tsk, a big brother with a stinky face, he looks bad-tempered, and he will be scolded when he meets him." ”

"You're letting me go?" Tian Sheng's eyes widened.

"Young man, exercise more."

"Captain, you're not as old as me, are you?"

"That's more exercise for newcomers."

Li Yingwei waved his hand and changed the topic: "Don't really say that I cheated you, in fact, our new director has a lot of money." ”

"It's not small." Tian Sheng grinned, "It's also transferred from Tiandu?" ”

"Hey! You kid, how do you poke people's lung tubes? ”

Li Yingwei could naturally hear Tian Sheng's off-string meaning, which was deliberately mentioning his failed emotional experience of pursuing the liaison: "If it has to be Tiandu, it can't be Yannan City, right?" Where are there so many adults in the central metropolis? ”

"That's?" Tian Sheng asked along with his words.

"It's a local, but it's directly assigned by the General Administration of Tiandu."

"That's not an adult."

"It's different, the new director is really a native, and he hasn't been to the General Bureau."

Li Yingwei held the dinner plate: "The statement given by the General Administration is that the new director has been a liaison in civilian clothes before, and this attack has made a great contribution, so this time he has been promoted." ”

"From the liaison directly to the director? How many levels is this jump? ”

"Level four, but it's not unusual, our different strategy bureau is talking about meritocracy."

Li Yingwei pretended to be serious: "So, with your capital, Xiao Tian, work hard, solve more cases of the Gray Magic Organization, maybe you will be my leader in a few years." ”

“…… So, captain, you said so much, you still want me to help you deliver the documents, right? ”

"You just said you wouldn't go, would you?"

"How do I feel, Captain, you really don't care about this?"

Tian Sheng asked helplessly: "You just don't seem to want to see this new director?" ”

"Don't you say it, I'm afraid of being scolded."

"Really, that's the reason?"

"The real reason? It's not a beauty, what do you see with a stinky old man. Li Yingwei sneered, "And I don't know how long this new director can be in office, I said, the Bureau of Different Policies appoints people on the basis of merit." ”

"You're on a par with a beautiful woman, aren't you?" Tian Sheng picked up the soup bowl on the side, "After all, I still don't want to see this new director." ”

"I can't keep stuck in the failed relationships of the past." Li Yingwei looked sad, "As for whether to see the new director or not, he will be promoted to the fourth level in a row, let me see what kind of character he is." ”

“…… Okay, I'll go. ”

Seeing the other party's resolute attitude, Tian Sheng sighed: "Don't blame me for saying anything wrong." ”

"Hey, anyway, you've been in our third squad for a short time, so even if you say the wrong thing, you can't go wrong."

Li Yingwei thought that he had gotten rid of a big trouble, and happily picked up the dishes on the plate: "Then I'll leave it to you!" ”

The matter was finalized in this way, and after lunch, Tian Sheng was sent out of the office by Li Yingwei and walked into the elevator with the combat record.

Somewhat helplessly pressed the button on the 11th floor on the elevator, Tian Sheng looked at the floor numbers beating on the screen, recalled what he had experienced recently, and couldn't help but sigh:

"It's magical."

It seems that since he encountered the attack of Ember Dawn in the welfare home, his life has deviated to a track that he never thought of, all the way to an extremely unfamiliar direction.

Sadly, all of this seems to have little to do with his wishes. After each incident, he wakes up with vague memories and no idea what had happened before. It's as if the passengers on the boat were shipwrecked and finally washed up on the beach of a strange continent, with a bunch of treasures around them inexplicably, and they didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a while.

Stepping out of the elevator with a heavy heart, Tian Sheng passed through a turn and saw a pair of magnificent wooden swing doors standing on the wall.

Walking forward, Tian Sheng stretched out his hand and was about to knock on the door, but somehow, his eyes suddenly froze.

Because he saw an extremely thin thread of magic in the doorway. The thread fluttered as he approached the office, and then vanished.

He felt as if he had seen such a thread somewhere, as if it were connected to his chest when he woke up from a dream......

- "Please come in." ”

Suddenly, there was a voice from inside the door. It was clear that Katsu Tian neither spoke nor knocked on the door, but the people inside the door seemed to know that he was standing there.

Tian Sheng could only obediently say "excuse me", and just pushed the door open, and what came into his eyes was a full-floor window, a bookcase standing solemnly on both sides of the wall, and a huge desk in the center.

and the grim middle-aged man sitting behind his desk, frowning and flipping through a stack of papers.
