The one who appeared here at this time, and was called "chief" by Lin Yun in this case, naturally could not be someone else, but only the emerald scepter of the research institute - emerald.

"Huh? Disgusting, you say? ”

The fluffy and round fairy doll walked out from behind Lin Yun, and his tone revealed a little surprise: "I see you call each other like this on this occasion, what kind of fun do you think it is." ”

"Please don't think of other people's relationships as dirty."

"Ah, I'm sorry, I thought our ...... It seems that your life has been quite colorful lately. ”

"If you're just here to entertain me, you can do something correct."

Lin Yun's tone did not fluctuate: "So, is there something about you coming here today?" Your Excellency, Chief? ”

"It's nothing, just a reminder that my private research institute is finished."

The goblin doll wriggled and jumped onto the desk in front of Lin Yun: "I have prepared some interesting gadgets over there, do you want to take a look?" ”

"Done?"

Lin Yun was slightly stunned: "I remember that it was only three days since I set the address......

"In fact, the second day after choosing a place, it was already completed, please don't doubt the technical strength of the magical girl in our research institute, the next generation."

The doll holds its paws, and there is a hint of pride in its lazy electronic voice: "As early as ten years ago, we have completed the iteration of material shaping and transfer technology, and it is just a piece of cake for interior decoration." ”

"yes, congratulations."

After getting the other party's answer, Lin Yun lost the corresponding interest. After a perfunctory response, he continued to bow his head and pick up the document on the table: "But I'm very sorry, I still have work to do, let's wait until the end of work." ”

"Hmm...... This is an invitation from elders and superiors, and your attitude is inevitably too bad. ”

Emerald's voice was stunned, obviously choked by Lin Yun's attitude: "And I don't work overtime, if you get off work, I will already have a break here." ”

"We'll talk about that later."

Regarding the other party's accusation, Lin Yun's face did not change: "I have accumulated enough work today, and I don't have time to wander around." ”

"I see, then I respect your idea."

The doll at the table nodded: "It's just a pity, I originally wanted to talk to you about that kid on the way." ”

"It's okay, I'm not really ......"

Lin Yun was halfway through his words, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, raised his head, and looked at the doll in front of him: "Which child are you talking about?" ”

"Of course, it's the kid who just left, the magical girl."

Stretching out his paws to point to the door of the director's room, and also pointing to the direction Bai Jingxuan had left before, the voice of the doll echoed in the room where there were only two people:

- "After all, that child has a kind of 'beast' smell in him. Don't you notice? ”

There was a moment of silence in the office.

“…… You're talking about thin snow? ”

After a while, Lin Yun couldn't help frowning: "The smell of beasts? On her? Could it be that you are mistaken? ”

"This is unwarranted questioning, posterity. As the gem scepter of the Magic Realm, the chief researcher of the research institute, if I can't even distinguish the taste of the remnant beast, then it's time to retire and spend my old age in peace. ”

The round fairy doll turned its neckless head sideways: "The smell of the beast is the smell of the beast, and it can't be hidden in any form." ”

“…… But I never felt like this. ”

Lin Yun staggered his gaze and looked in the direction where Bai Jingxuan had left before: "I've been with that kid for a while, and I've never felt the magic of the remnant beast you said. ”

"The taste of 'beast' is not the same, but it should be reflected in the magic of the beast."

Emerald's languid voice didn't rise or fall, but it was meaningful: "And, even if it's not the magic of the beast, the child's magic is special, isn't it?" ”

"You mean, that healing power of hers?" Lin Yun suddenly remembered his previous conversation with Tian Sheng.

Tian Sheng once said on the tram that the reason why he was blessed by misfortune in the incident of the Full Moon Festival was probably because he had been exposed to Bai Jingxuan's magic.

In fact, Bai Jingxuan's magic power did exist outside of Lin Yun's cognitive system.

He had already thought that he had to find an opportunity to ask the emerald, and now, this opportunity was placed in front of him. The other party has even put the truth on the table as a bargaining chip, just waiting for him to make a decision.

"What do you need this time?" So he asked.

"Oh, is it finally exciting?"

The doll's eyes lit up slightly, and it looked lifelike at the moment: "It seems that it is not in vain that I have done such a homework in advance, there are few people in this world who can let me pay more attention to it, and I must be grateful, the next life." ”

"Whether you're grateful or not depends on the price you offer."

Lin Yun stared at the doll's eyes: "Nothing happens to this extent, I'm not a fool." ”

"What if I told you that these were really coincidences, and that I just took advantage of them at the right time? If your noble and beautiful character is misunderstood by you like this, no matter how indifferent I am to fame and fortune, I will feel sad. ”

The emerald sighed as if she was sad, but when she saw Lin Yun in front of her, she didn't react at all, so she had to let the doll's body spread her hands: "It's nothing, I just need you to come to my research institute." ”

"That's it?" Lin Yun raised his eyebrows.

"That's all." Emerald is concise and to the point.

"You're planning to trick me into being a test subject?"

Lin Yun was puzzled: "Or is there something there that you can use to threaten me?" ”

"There's no such thing, what the hell do you think I'm going to be?"

"Jewel Scepter."

"The next time you attack me with this word, I may want to consider including the entry 'Prohibition of Misuse of the Gem Scepter' in the kingdom's legal code."

The emerald was dissatisfied: "I came to you with enough kindness, come over quickly." Otherwise, I wouldn't have told you. ”

Lin Yun looked at the doll silently for a few seconds, and finally sighed helplessly and took out his mobile phone.

Using his mobile phone to contact the personnel and general department of the Alien Policy Bureau, and conveying the information that he was going to leave the Alien Policy Bureau temporarily, he put on his coat and stood up from behind the desk.

"Let's go."

He said.

One person and one goblin walked out of the director's office with a swagger, because the goblin doll would not be recognized by others, so in the eyes of the passing employees, Lin Yun just left alone.

When it was confirmed that it was far enough away from the Anomaly, the emerald voice was heard again from the fairy doll:

"So, since you've agreed, I'll pay a part of the payment in advance, Housheng."

"If you want to know what's special about that kid, you need to know some pre-emptive concepts, like, do you know what 'offset' really is?"

“…… All I know is that it has to do with the properties of magic. Lin Yun told the truth.

"Yes, it has to do with the attribute of mana, but, do you know what 'attribute' really is?" Emerald asked.

Properties...... It's literal, right? What does the fire attribute and the water attribute look like? Lin Yun said uncertainly.

"What are you talking about, it's the real world, it's not a game. How can there be such a simple division of attributes. ”

Emerald sighed: "The so-called 'attribute', in fact, the full name is 'the background attribute of magic power', which is the collective name of the source and manifestation of your power." ”

"To put it bluntly?"

"To put it bluntly, the 'attributes', or 'undertones', actually depend on who you are. Even, it's your 'camp' in terms of magic. ”

Emerald said leisurely: "The magic of a magical girl is the background color of a magical girl; The magic of the remnant beast is the background color of the remnant beast; Even the magic of the goblins has its own undertones; Only ordinary beings in the material realm, such as humans, have no background in their magic. ”

"Depending on the identity, the 'camp' in terms of magic?"

Lin Yun muttered: "Then, the 'offset' of the shifter is actually ......"

"Yes, the so-called 'Shifters', their magical base color attribute is offset. Compared to his original attributes, he has the characteristics of other attributes. “

Emerald raised her voice: "In other words, in terms of the attributes of magical power, their identity is not pure, not pure, and each offset has more than one camp. ”

Base Color Properties...... Generate offset? ”

It was the first time Lin Yun had heard of such a thing.

In his cognition, the lives in this world, whether they are humans, crippled beasts or magical girls, are all distinct, and there are extremely obvious differences.

However, it makes so much sense to use this concept to explain the differences that "shifters" exhibit.

"The magic of what we usually define as an offset shifts in a relatively mild direction."

Emerald goes on to explain: "For example, from the background color of a magical girl to the baseless color of a human being; Or shift from the background color of the magical girl to the background color of the fairy; Even,When I was a human being, I shifted to a magical girl.,So much so that she has an extraordinary magical girl talent.,It's a natural magical girl......"

At this point of explanation, Lin Yun finally understood what the emerald wanted to express, and finally faintly understood Bai Jingxuan's unusualness: "You mean, that child's magic ......"

"Yes, and the child we are talking about, the child codenamed Bo Xue, must have been biased in the direction of the remnant beast, and her magic power was born in favor of the 'beast' camp."

Emerald's voice was very indifferent, but when she said this, this indifference was so abnormal:

- "If she hadn't become a magical girl, she would have been a natural 'beast' in the future. ”
