In the densely populated port of Fangting City, passengers and goods pass through their respective routes in an orderly manner. Under this prosperous scene, no one noticed that a dark figure blended into the crowd without a trace.

Dressed in her shabby robes, with a wrap in her arms and a leprechaun on her shoulder, the kite she called "Semi" roamed aimlessly through the harbor.

"It doesn't really look like a small place, Fang Ting."

She said as if talking to herself: "I heard that it is a small city in the southern part of Donghua Prefecture, but it is not much bigger than the big city in my memory. ”

"How many years have you not been to the City of the Material Realm?"

Semi glanced at her: "Thirty years? Fifty years? It's not that human cities can't develop, and after so many years, the scale will eventually expand. ”

"Hmm...... Forgot. ”

Kite narrowed her eyes in confusion: "But it feels like it should be a little longer than you said, indeed, I don't even know if my hometown is still there." ”

"You, there must be a limit to the big nerves."

Semi was a little helpless: "I'm starting to worry about whether I can survive normally in the city. Human cities are not such simple things, and every once in a while, the way of life in them changes dramatically. If you want to complete the task as error-free as possible, you need to have the necessary common sense. ”

"You can rest assured of this, after all, I am also a human born and raised in the material world."

While striding away, the kite subconsciously yawned: "No matter how much I retreat from the world and practice, my childhood was spent in a human city, and basic life knowledge will definitely not be a problem." ”

"Really?"

Semi Fox asked, "You've been back to the material world for so many years, and you've almost never been out of the base, right?" The material world is very different now than it used to be. ”

"Rest assured, I know. Isn't this the port? The land ship's docking, I also had it in my day, but it wasn't as ...... as it is now."

The kite looked around, looked at the shops in his field of vision, and paused inexplicably: "What kind of shops are these?" Looks magnificent, money bank? Pawnshop? ”

"It's a store."

Seeing that she could point to a fast-food restaurant and say something like "money bank", Semi suddenly felt her heart fall to the bottom: "It's a place that sells things, and what you see now is a restaurant." ”

"Is it a restaurant?"

"Yes, but it's not."

Semi pushed Kite on the shoulder: "Anyway, hurry up and move forward, don't be embarrassed here." ”

The man and the goblin continued on their way, out of the harbor, and into the neighborhood of the city. Along the way, all you see are towering buildings and traffic-filled roads. Looking at the busy street in front of him, the kite fell into confusion again.

“…… Are people already so rich now? ”

She was slightly stunned and said, "Can you afford to drive a car?" ”

"What kind of antique do you have, cars are now the most commonly used means of transportation!" Semi couldn't help but raise his voice.

"What about tricycles and motorcycles? Already eliminated? ”

"Isn't that a matter of course?"

"It's really changing, a human city." The kite touched her chin, a little unusual.

"Why aren't you, a serious human, not as familiar with the city as a goblin like me?"

Semi sighed: "I think I need to ask you more, what are you going to do when you come to this city?" ”

"Anyway, find a place to take a shower, have a meal, and get a good night's sleep?" The kite was still looking around.

"I'm in favor of this, but then what? How do you get the Source of the Beast? ”

"Hmm...... Create an incident and bring all the magical girls over. ”

Kite thought and said, "First find a place with a lot of people, find a way to get a remnant beast out, and when the magical girls come to fight the remnant beast, I will jump out and confront them." When Cornflower and the girl named Bai Jingxuan are here, I will defeat them again and take away the source of man and beast together. ”

"Confrontation?"

Semi was taken aback by her words: "Are you serious? Just fighting with cornflowers? ”

"Or else?" The kite looked at it a little strangely, "I should have told you about it in the early hours of yesterday morning." ”

"I thought you were talking about a situation where you had to face off head-on, who told you to go straight to the door to find fault?"

Semi hated the iron and said: "It's true that you used to be a flower card, but cornflower is also a flower card." In case she has some terrible hole cards and defeats you directly, then how are you going to go back and pay the errand? ”

"Don't worry, I am now and I was back then."

The kite clasped his hands and said with some confidence: "To defeat myself back then, now I only need one hand." ”

"I didn't ask you about it......"

Semi's voice lowered, "I mean, your plan is too rudimentary. I don't think it's appropriate. ”

"Why is it inappropriate? I think it's very good. Even my subordinates do the same, and they don't have a problem. The kite looked at Semi a little strangely.

"Your men...... Ah, in other words, the sparrows were also ...... here."

"Well, I guess I went to the door to find the cornflower and was defeated."

The kite nodded: "Behave properly, be impartial, do not fall into the demeanor of my generation, and it is glorious to lose." ”

Semi was completely silent.

It began to think about whether it would be a wise choice for itself to accept the assignment of this trip and follow this stupid wood who knew every day that he was huddled in the base to cultivate and practice martial arts.

It's just that this trip is a very important task specially explained by the leader White Wolf and the deputy leader Black Cat. If it weren't for that, they wouldn't have sent a high-level combat power like a kite to a small place like Fang Ting. Even if I wanted to refuse at that time, I was afraid that there was no room for it.

Thinking of this, it realized that its entanglement seemed meaningless, and it was a little relieved in its heart, and spoke again: "Forget it, just do as you say." ”

Pointing to the traffic not far away, Semi continued: "Anyway, let's get a car and get out of here, we've been standing on the side of the road for too long, and we've been noticed." ”

As soon as it said this, the kite realized that it had stopped for such a short time, and it had already attracted the attention of many passers-by. Probably because she was dressed in shabby clothes and spoke very strangely, many people thought she was a beggar.

"Ah, I thought it wouldn't be noticeable to dress like this."

The kite blinked a little innocently: "So why don't we leave now?" Where to go? ”

"How do I know where you should go? I haven't been to Fangting City before. ”

Semi was helpless: "Anyway, let's go to a more prosperous place to live first, and go to the side of the road to stop a car and get down." ”

"To take a ride?"

Kite looked at the traffic not far away, and his eyebrows were slightly raised: "What if they don't get along with me?" ”

"It's for you to get a taxi......

Semi tried not to make his voice appear too agitated: "Just look for those cars with lights on their roofs that say taxis, and if you see the sign in front of you that says 'Empty', you can ......"

"Doesn't that red-blue light look more meaningful? Shall I ask which one? ”

"Red-blue? Ah, stupid, don't go, that's a police car! You give me back! ”

It took a long time to stop the kite, and Semi panted and said, "Don't just add drama to yourself!" Just look for the overhead light that says taxi! ”

"Oh."

The kite nodded honestly and waited on the side of the road for a while, finally seeing what Semi had said about the 'empty car'. Reaching out to stop it, she stepped forward, spoke to the driver through the window, then got up and watched the taxi drive away.

Then she turned and walked back to where she was.

"The driver said that he wanted to make an appointment on his mobile phone, and his car had already been booked by someone else."

The kite looked thoughtful: "I also said that the timing of our arrival is not good, and we shouldn't come at the time of work, it is difficult to get a taxi at this time." ”

"Let's not mention the following, mobile phone appointment is indeed a method."

Semi nodded: "So what about your phone?" ”

"I don't have a cell phone." The kite tilted its head.

"Huh?"

Semi's eyes widened suddenly: "Didn't the leader equip all your cadres with personal mobile phones?" Why wouldn't you? Could it be broken? ”

That's not the reason...... It should not be broken, but it is still intact. ”

The kite showed a somewhat hearty smile: "It's just that I haven't been able to figure out how to use it, so I just threw it in the base to save losing it." ”

Semi froze in place, as if struck by lightning.

"So, how are you going to stay and eat?"

After a long pause, it spoke again, but there was already a slight tremor in its words: "Without a mobile phone, how do you plan to live in the city?" You don't even have any money, do you? ”

"How so? I brought the money. ”

The old kite god is here: "I usually have no place to spend money, so I have been saving, it must be enough." ”

"Are you sure you're bringing material money?"

Semi worried, "Could it be the silver coins from the kingdom?" ”

"I'm just practicing for no time, and I'm not dementia."

The kite glanced at it: "It must be the currency of the material world, I left with me when I left the city, and I happened to take it all with me this time." ”

"Ah, yes. That's right, no matter how little common sense you have, it won't come to this point. ”

Semi breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought we were going to be sleeping on the streets of the city next." ”

"Actually, it's okay to sleep on the streets, and it's not like I haven't experienced it before."

Kite tightened the package in his hand, with a slight look of nostalgia on his face: "My memory is very good, and a lot of the experience I summarized at that time should still be universal, why don't we try it?" ”

"Don't! After walking in the wasteland for half a month, my wings are already full of dust! ”

Semi shook his head repeatedly: "I want to take a bath!" ”

"Regret."

The kite had to spread his hands: "Well, let's find a breakfast shop to fill my stomach first, and then find a place to live." I'm also kind of tempted to take a shower. ”

The two could not get a taxi, so they had to walk along the street, during which the kite kept looking around, interested in the familiar and unfamiliar human civilization, and it was Semi who dragged her on.

After a while, they finally found a breakfast shop that was still open on the side of the road and walked in.

Since the owner of the store couldn't see the goblin, Kite asked for a few more refreshments and took Semi to a corner of the store and sat down. Then he drank half a bowl of soy milk quite boldly, and opened his mouth to gnaw off half of the steamed bun directly.

Like the reincarnation of a hungry ghost, after eating a table of breakfast, ignoring the somewhat surprised eyes of the people around him, Shi Shiran walked back to the counter at the door of the store, and shouted: "Boss, check out!" ”

"Okay."

The owner, who was still making food in front of the store, took a break and counted the kite's table and clicked it with a calculator. Calculated a number: "Beauty, you have a big appetite, you ate 5 steamed buns, 4 steamed buns, and two bowls of soy milk, a total of 53 yuan." ”

"Let's get change." Iris lightly took out a hundred-yuan bill from the robe and placed it on the counter.

The boss took the banknote she gave and wanted to carefully check the authenticity, but before he could take a closer look, he noticed that something was wrong: "Beauty, you can't use this money?" Anything else? ”

"Can't be used? How can it be. ”

The kite took out a banknote from his robe: "I have all this kind of money on me, it must be true." ”

"But no...... Your money, it's too old, at least the money it used forty years ago. ”

The boss wiped his forehead: "I also saw this kind of banknote when I was a child, and now that even the exchange period has passed, it must not be used." ”

"Expired?"

The kite couldn't help but take the banknote back, shook it in front of his eyes, and then handed it out again: "But even if it's old money, someone wants it anyway, right?" I'll give you this, you go and change it with someone, no change. ”

"Small business, beauty, don't bother me."

The boss laughed awkwardly: "The bank can't exchange it now, and you have to find another way to collect it." And I can't tell whether your money is real or fake, so you might as well just give it in cash. If you really can't do it, just transfer the phone to me? ”

"What if I don't have anything else but this money?"

Kite threw the bill on the counter: "Anyway, you don't want this, I have no other way." ”

"You, this ......"

Seeing that the kite was in a bad posture, the boss wiped his sweat a little anxiously, and was thinking about what to do, when his eyes suddenly turned to the sidewalk not far away.

At this moment, a patrolling police officer is passing by.

……

……

At noon, Lin Yun put down the file in his hand, closed the computer in front of him, and closed his eyes a little tiredly.

He reached out and rubbed his shoulder, only to feel that the inflammation had finally eased and some signs of recurrence, and was thinking about whether he had been too tired lately, when he heard a gentle knock at the door.

"Please come in."

As he said this, he secretly pulled up the silk thread at the door, and saw a female employee of the Intelligence Department cautiously walk in.

"Hello Director, I'm sorry to disturb you."

She first greeted in a soft voice, then picked up her mobile phone and got to the point: "We just received a case of trouble on the magic side, saying that there was a magician who ate overlord meals at the breakfast stall in Lixing District, and then used magic to make trouble in order not to pay...... I have just been arrested by the people in the bureau. ”

"Overlord meal?"

Lin Yun raised his eyebrows: "It's not very bad, right?" Conduct criticism and education for a period of time, and then urge the magician to pay more money to the merchant, and conduct a review after a while, and the case should be closed. ”

"Yes, the bureau originally decided to do the same, but after receiving someone from the interrogation room, they insisted on asking you to go over and have a look."

The employee cautiously said, "They say that this matter may be the only one you can decide." ”

"Why? Does this involve Ember Dawn? Lin Yun subconsciously speculated.

"No, not Ember Dawn."

The employee shook his head, looked at Lin Yun's face, and said slowly:

"They said that the one who was arrested didn't seem to be a magician, but a ...... Magical girl. ”
