Chapter 8: A Little Visitor
"It's amazing! Managing director! Where did this armor called 'Magic Armament' come from? ”
Day 2, 10 a.m.
Li Yingwei, who was in high spirits, was holding Tian Sheng beside him, praising several sets of equipment placed aside, and his beautiful words were so full that it sounded a little numb.
"I just passed the qualification review, so I went to the battle room to try it, and it felt like my own magic had changed substantially!"
He waved his hand excitedly: "I feel that even if I encounter a remnant beast, I can compete with it head-on!" ”
The distribution and allocation of magical weapons has gradually begun in the Strange Strategy Bureau, and due to Lin Yun's unilateral request, every employee who has obtained magical weapons must go to the director's office to report, and he will personally check it.
And now, it is the time for the third squad of the Special Operations Department to come and report.
A total of three employees of the third squad have received a quota of magical weapons, namely captain Li Yingwei, vice captain Mu Bensheng, and according to them, the new star Tian Sheng, who is shining brightly. All three of them gathered in the director's office at this time, waiting for a personal review from Lin Yun.
This so-called personal censorship is actually to further prevent moles.
Although in yesterday's inaugural speech, Lin Yun has checked a considerable part of the internal responses, he can't confirm that those are all. And magic armament, a material that can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the equiptor, even if one falls into the hands of Ember Dawn, the blow to the ordinary employees of the Alien Strategy Bureau will be huge.
So in the end, it will evolve into the current scene.
Although I don't know how sincere Li Yingwei's praise and praise are, these will not affect Lin Yun's decision-making. As the three of them gathered around his desk, he had secretly grasped the gem of his heart, and began to secretly sense the fluctuations of the three people's magic power, and discern whether there was a beast or not.
Among them, Li Yingwei and Mu Bensheng have no problems, and the two of them are quite pure human magicians.
But Tian Sheng is different.
Lin Yun could sense the extremely familiar beast magic from his body, which made people feel cold. As a magical girl, he has fought against and expelled countless remnant beasts, and he can't be wrong with his sense of this magical power.
This is also what makes him hesitate a little - even if he knows that the changes in Tian Sheng's body are related to the magic of the remnant beast, the other party has never concealed the relevant experience, but it is difficult to guarantee that there is any secret behind this.
Do you want to agree first? Or will it be put on hold?
Just as Lin Yun was deep in thought, there was a sudden commotion outside the door of the director's room.
- "Stop, not here, little girl! You can't get in here! ”
It was faintly accompanied by the anxious call of the receptionist.
The combat team members who had originally gathered in the director's room were suddenly attracted by the movement and stopped talking; Lin Yun behind the desk also stopped thinking in his heart for a while, and looked at the door of the office with some doubts.
In a short time, the wooden swing door of the director's office was pushed open.
A girl in a stage dress, with a white upper body and green eyes, barged through the door. She looks very cute and beautiful, like a child star who ran out of a performance scene. The girl rushed through the door menacingly, and when she saw that there were four adult men behind the door, she subtly weakened her majesty, stood in place and bowed:
"Hello uncles! Is the director of the Bureau of Alien Policy here? ”
The contrast between before and after is staggering.
The receptionist on the side gasped tiredly, and explained helplessly: "I'm sorry, Director, I've tried to dissuade her, but she said that she is a magical girl......"
Of course, Lin Yun knew that the girl who broke into the director's room was a magical girl, in fact, the girl was also the junior and junior he was extremely familiar with: Bai Jingxuan.
Last night, Delphinium was still going to talk to this child in the secret base, but she didn't expect Bai Jingxuan to be absent at the time, and she took the initiative to break into the different strategy bureau the next day.
So, what is she here for?
With such doubts in his arms, Lin Yun said quietly: "Hello, I am, are you looking for me?" ”
"Yes, I'm looking for the director of the Bureau...... Hey, you're not Sister Xiaolu's ......"
Bai Jingxuan subconsciously opened her mouth to answer, but after seeing the middle-aged man behind the desk clearly, she was stunned suddenly, and then covered her mouth: "Ah no, I saw the wrong person!" ”
Obviously, she recognized Lin Yun and knew that the other party was Lin Xiaolu's father. But considering that there were other strangers present, she should not take the initiative to reveal Lin Xiaolu's identity, so she chose to keep her mouth shut.
And before she could say anything further, Tian Sheng on the side also became a little trance after observing the girl for a while, and muttered as if he was recalling something: "Xiaoxuan? ”
"Yes! Excuse me...... Hey, Uncle Tian! ”
Bai Jingxuan was once again shocked by the identity of the people present, and after recognizing that the other party was once a nurse in the welfare home, she once again fell into a brief confusion. When she first rushed in, she seemed to have a strong conviction, but this attitude softened as she realized that the scene was full of acquaintances.
The words stuck in her mouth for a long time, and finally Bai Jingxuan bowed to everyone again: "I'm sorry!" I'm sorry for the trouble! ”
"No, you haven't said anything......" Li Yingwei on the side only felt inexplicable, and couldn't help but say more, but he was bumped by the vice captain on the side with his arm, and suddenly fell silent again.
The receptionist at the door saw that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, and wanted to open her mouth to explain something, but after all, it turned into a silent movement, and she was speechless after her lips were closed.
Seeing that everyone fell into a somewhat awkward silence together, Lin Yun looked around, and finally sighed a little helplessly: "Tian Sheng stays, this magical girl also stays, and the others wait outside the door." ”
After receiving his order, everyone present immediately acted in tacit understanding. The receptionist lady withdrew from the door first, Li Yingwei was also pulled out of the director's room by the deputy captain, and in the end, only Tian Sheng and Bai Jingxuan remained in front of Lin Yun.
Looking at Bai Jingxuan, Lin Yun pondered for a moment and then spoke: "Then, please don't worry, calm down and talk well." You're a magical girl, I've read the archives, your code name should be Bo Xue, right? ”
"Yes."
Bai Jingxuan nodded obediently: "I'm Bo Xue." ”
"So, what is your purpose here?"
Lin Yun tried his best to make his expression appear calm, so as not to put pressure on Bai Jingxuan: "Is there anything that needs the help of the Alien Bureau?" ”
"Ah, yes!"
Speaking of the word "intention", Bai Jingxuan, who was still a little hesitant, suddenly became energetic, as if she had found the backbone of her heart, her eyes lit up, and there was even a subtle longing in her expression:
"I, I want to participate in the massacre of Ember Dawn!"
No one spoke.
Lin Yun maintained a upright sitting posture, looked at Bai Jingxuan expressionlessly, and after a short silence, he spoke again: "I'm sorry, I didn't hear clearly just now, what did you say?" ”
"I want to participate in the slaughter of Ember Dawn!"
Bai Jingxuan clenched her fist with one hand, and her pretended serious expression looked a little cute:
"Exactly, I want to kill them!"
“…… Why did you come to us? Lin Yunmu said.
"I saw it when I was on patrol! Everyone in the Strange Bureau is fighting with Ember Dawn! ”
Bai Jingxuan said crisply: "I went to ask my uncle there, and they said that it was the director's order!" The Director demanded that they kill all the Ember Dawn in the city! ”
“…… That's what she said. Tian Sheng repeated Bai Jingxuan's words and looked at Lin Yun.
"I know, don't bother you to repeat it."
Lin Yun only felt a little headache for a while, and he subconsciously held his forehead: "That, Bo Xue, right?" You just said that you want to clear and capture the remaining Ember Dawn......"
"It's torture!" Bai Jingxuan corrected seriously.
Her demeanor is as cute as her words are terrifying.
"It's not a word that can be said casually, especially if you're a magical girl."
Lin Yun subconsciously sighed, and tried to pull the topic back to the trajectory he could control: "You don't look very old, and you may not know the meaning of the word 'torture' very well. I would like to explain to you that this kind of behavior is not allowed by morality and law, does not conform to the mainstream values of society, and is ......"
"Just beat them to a blur of flesh and blood, and then kill them, right?" Bai Jingxuan tilted her head a little puzzled.
“…… Yes, but we're not trying to discuss the definition of the word. Rather, it is not permissible to do so, or even to say. ”
Lin Yun tried to explain: "Especially since you are a magical girl, representing the light and hope of the city. The main job of a magical girl is to crusade against the remnants of the beast.,Under normal circumstances, you shouldn't take the initiative to hurt ordinary humans.,Or relatively weak magicians.。 What's more, the word you said is 'torture and killing', which is a word that magical girls must never say, and it is also something that must not be done. ”
"But that's what my teacher did!"
Bai Jingxuan is not very old, and it can be seen that her vocabulary is not so rich, and she is thinking about every word she says:
"My teacher, she was so handsome that she tortured and killed the boss of Ember Dawn! And everyone is complimenting her! I adore her approach too! ”
Lin Yun was silent again.
Now he just wanted to pick up the heavy tool book on the table and smack his head twice.
"Your teacher? She is ......" Tian Sheng on the side seemed to realize something, and asked without saying anything.
"My teacher is the magical girl Delphinch! It's the magical girl who saved everyone last month! ”
Bai Jingxuan was open-mouthed: "She beat that bad guy viciously at that time, beat the other side into a pig's head, and then killed her with a thousand knives!" ”
"Well done!"
Tian Sheng clapped his legs and exclaimed: "I support your teacher!" That's what you should do with those bastards! You should learn from her! ”
"Tian Sheng."
Lin Yun reminded in a low voice.
“…… Ah, I'm sorry, Director. ”
Tian Sheng suddenly said stupidly: "I'm excited for a while......"
"You're an adult too, don't be so easily incited by children."
Lin Yun knocked on the table and spoke calmly, but the heels that shook from time to time under the table showed his uncalm mood: "No matter what the reason is, and who you want to imitate, it is inappropriate to encourage such a young child to 'torture' the enemy." ”
"But she's talking about dealing with the scum of Ember Dawn, right?"
Tian Sheng whispered: "I think dealing with them is the same as dealing with a cruel beast, and there is no need to pay attention to the morality and ethics of people. ”
“…… You're right, it's not a pity that the dregs of Ember Dawn die. “
Lin Yun nodded: "But figure it out, what is the meaning of us adults here, and what is the purpose of the establishment of the Alien Bureau." 'Magical girls deal with remnant beasts, and strange strategies deal with human traitors', we are here precisely to keep these children away from killing their own kinds, and to prevent them from carrying the burden of killing humans when they are ignorant. ”
"Maybe when they were children, they wouldn't have felt anything like killing these evil humans; But no one can guarantee that this will not be a shadow for the rest of their lives when they grow up. ”
"It's true that her teacher is a magical girl, but you should know that it is a magical girl who has been active 20 years ago and is now an adult; Her teacher has three views that have been formed, and it is also a decision after he has made up his mind to kill his enemies, not a meaningless imitation......"
- "I'm not imitating! ”
Bai Jingxuan interrupted Lin Yun's words in a bit of a hurry.
She raised her hand like an elementary school student asking a question in class, but spoke without waiting for approval: "I'm not imitating the teacher!" It's true that I admire my teacher's approach, but I want to kill those bad guys myself! ”
"Why?"
Lin Yun asked puzzled.
"Because I want revenge!"
Bai Jingxuan touched her heart with one hand and declared loudly: "They let the remnant beast kill my parents, and they also killed that magical girl...... Killed Sakura-senpai! I hate them! I'm going to let them die a bad death! I'm going to make them regret all this they've done! ”
Lin Yun had never seen Bai Jingxuan so excited.
In his memory, Bai Jingxuan has always been that well-behaved and sensible child, very quiet and calm. She doesn't express her emotions violently in front of people, and she doesn't embarrass others. She leaves so much space for others that many times others are unaware of her presence.
Perhaps, in the usual battles with the remnants of the beast, her fighting style is a little more tyrannical and cruel. But under the tireless correction of Delphinium, there are many fewer dangerous ways of fighting, and now Bai Jingxuan is active like a normal magical girl.
If it weren't for today, maybe Lin Yun would never have heard the word "revenge" from Bai Jingxuan's mouth.
But the word was so heavy and so natural compared to the child's experience that he didn't know what else he could say.
And when she said words like "torture" and "revenge", her expression was so innocent and serious, and the dissonance in it made people feel uneasy.
“…… I wouldn't agree, I couldn't have let a kid like you do that. ”
In the end, Lin Yun could only speak a little astringently. He no longer tried to persuade Bai Jingxuan, but looked at Tian Sheng and pointed to the door of the office:
"Tian Sheng, you take her out."
