The moment she was called to break the identity of "Cornflower", Delphinium pursed her lips slightly, and did not respond to the other party's provocation.

She didn't mean to admit or deny, and she didn't even show that she wanted to continue the conversation, but slightly straightened her posture and looked at the magical girl in front of her.

Compared with these trivial things, it was the strength that the other party just showed that made her more vigilant. For no other reason, the other party's attack was too fast and too secretive.

Even the fluctuation of magic power was barely leaked, and if it weren't for the quick enough reaction of the delphinium, just such a tentative attack could make ordinary magical girls suffer a loss.

Since the other party has chosen to attack, it is tantamount to putting hostility on the surface, words and deception have lost their meaning, and all that remains is a competition of hard power.

But Delphinium knows her own situation: she can't win.

She didn't think that the Claw Scars were a bunch of fools who would send a member of the Beast with less combat strength to claim the Source of the Beast. The magical girl in front of her, who calls herself "gladiolus", since she used to be a flower card, her current combat ability will definitely not be under the flower card.

Flower cards mean that the opponent will inevitably be able to use the wonderland and rules.

Now that I have completely lost the ability to open a wonderland normally, once I enter the category of rule war with the other party, I will inevitably fall into a huge disadvantage.

If she wants to balance this disadvantage, she will only have one card left that she can use, but she can't actually use - the last form of the Costume Weaver, and the power of the Silk Thread.

But even the delphinium itself knew that it was impossible.

The magic costume is closely related to the essence of the magical girl, and when the magic costume is completely destroyed, no one can say what will become of herself. It is better to say that the source of mana is wiped out and that mana can no longer be used; The worse one might be to become a vegetative state or even die.

She couldn't have taken such a risk to use a move with uncertain results.

In this way, although there is a great certainty that the enemy will be defeated or even killed, but he will also be hit hard, which can be said to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 10,000 himself, which has nothing to do with the concept of "winning".

"You, why don't you speak? It can't be that I'm wrong, right? ”

The kite who put down the wine glass tilted her head, and as she breathed, she spit out a white mist, and the blush on her face also faded a lot: "Speaking of which, it always feels like you're thinking about something quite dangerous, so I have to make it clear in advance: we don't actually have to separate life and death." ”

"Beast Source aside, what I said before is not a lie, if you are really a cornflower, our leader sincerely welcomes you to join us."

"After all, I can feel your magic fluctuations, and you're probably in a pretty bad state right now, right?"

Saying this, the kite slowly narrowed her eyes, and her originally inky black eyes suddenly changed into black and white double pupils: "The true appearance, the source of magic power, the gem of the heart, and the structure that should be a trinity have been misplaced. It's like a bucket with an open hole, constantly leaking out of magic. An ordinary magical girl who has become like you can be said to be half a dead person. ”

"Thank you for the reminder, but don't bother."

Delphinium said coldly: "If the advice you give is to change the court, I have no intention of turning myself into a remnant beast. ”

She didn't believe so much that the technology of claw marks could heal her injuries, after all, even the chief emerald of the research institute could only promise to stop losses to a certain extent, why did the claw marks master more advanced technology than the research institute?

Even if there was such a possibility, it must be premised on betraying the magical realm, and it was impossible for her to choose this path.

From the perspective of interests, Lin Xiaolu and the three of them are still under her own hands as magical girls, and she finally got it because she caught the omission of the golden green cat's eye before, and only by continuing to be a magical girl can she grasp this power in her hands. With this right of appointment, it is necessary to avoid the three girls being needlessly involved in the power turmoil of the kingdom. If you really accept this so-called invitation to join the claw marks, then the power of Ren will become a dead letter, and how can you talk about protection at that time?

Among the juniors, there are also magical girls in special situations like Bai Jingxuan, who have only made up their minds to lead them to the right path. If you choose to join the claw mark here, you will have no position to educate that child at that time.

And from a moral and moral point of view, there is no reason to join such a notorious organization as Claw Scars.

Maybe the other party will not be as morally degraded and dehumanized as the dawn of black ashes. But after betraying the country, this group of rebellious magical girls did some bad things such as burning, killing, and looting, and they are definitely not good people.

Well, what she can do seems to be clear: it's dragging.

In terms of hard power, it is at an absolute disadvantage, and there is a high probability that it will not be able to beat it, and it is not possible to escape - Fangting City is its home field, and there are three juniors here, and the monk who can run the temple can't run. Then, the only option left is to drag on time.

And the purpose of delaying time is to wait for the help of emeralds.

When the magic mirror call was interrupted before, the emerald obviously had something to say, indicating that she should have some countermeasures. I have already told her about the situation of the Strange Strategy Bureau, and after the other party perceives the enemy's actions, there is a high probability that there will be countermeasures.

Before that, what you should do is to find a way to delay the time, not to let the battlefield shift, and ensure that the reinforcements can arrive at the scene as soon as possible.

The implementation of this decision is a stalemate.

Through an attitude of half-belief, hostility and trust, the other party is also in a choice between doing and not doing.

Every time Delphinium refuses the other party's proposal, it will not completely say the words, but deliberately leave some handles to ensure that the other party can follow the handles. At the same time, it shows an attitude of "superficial rejection, but in fact a little wavering", which makes people feel as if there is hope for peaceful evolution.

When the other party talked about her injury, she hinted that she valued her reputation more; The other party said that she could secretly defect, but she deliberately did not mention the few advantages of secretly defecting when she refused; The other party listed these benefits, and then she used flawed words to weakly refute them.

As she went back and forth, she aroused the interest of the kite, and a confrontation inexplicably turned into a lecture on the topic of "the benefits of adding claw marks". And the delphinium said less and less, but the kite said more and more. In the end, there is even a kind of hook shoulder-to-back situation, if you let the uninformed see it, I am afraid that the relationship between the two is the same as the kite boasted before, it is "as close as sisters".

Time passed gradually in the inexplicable conversation, and Delphinium even had the leisure to secretly press the mobile phone twice with an expressionless face, reminding the three juniors that a strong enemy was coming, so don't act rashly.

However, this delay has not come without cost.

I don't know if the other party drank alcohol, or if this scene with persuasion and oppression would have given people strange hints. After Delphinium deliberately showed weakness several times to prolong the topic, she felt that the nature of the conversation between the two had gradually changed a little.

Probably because the other party was relatively old, the Delphinium always felt that the kite regarded herself as a child. The conversation between the two has changed from pulling people into the gang at the beginning, and it has become a bit like a person fooling an ignorant child on the side of the road.

If the conversation continues, I'm afraid that this conversation will not lead to anything until the afternoon, but after all, not everyone will be caught in the circle by Delfinium's words.

"Wait, kite, you just said that this cornflower is in a terrible state?"

Just as the conversation between the two was getting more and more off, Semi on the side suddenly interjected: "In other words, she can't actually exert much strength now?" ”

"Huh? Ah, that's for sure. ”

The kite, who was already familiar with the conversation, reached out and touched the delphinium's head, and nodded: "Even at my distance, I can feel the flow of magic coming to my face, her binding force on her own magic power is already very weak, and the strength she can exert is afraid that there is not one in ten." ”

"Then what are you still talking nonsense about here with her!"

Semi pointed at the delphinium and said, "The source of the beast is in her hands, and she herself is here now, what else are you negotiating with her?" We will directly capture her alive, and all the people and things will belong to us, won't this mission be more than half completed? You can just go back and hand it over, right? ”

"The truth is that this is true."

The kite nodded thoughtfully, but looked a little embarrassed: "But I don't really want to take advantage of people's danger and fight with a wounded person." As the so-called tiger fell into Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, it is meaningless to bully a strong man in such a competition. ”

"It's all said, don't bother with your fair spirit at this time!"

Semi said helplessly: "Let's take her back, the leader has transformed her magic source, and she can get back her former strength!" Won't you be able to have a fair fight with her? ”

“…… Ah, there is still such a way. ”

The kite blinked and turned to look at the delphinium: "Look, that's what it says. ”

The delphinium looked at the kite, then at Semi, and somehow, for the first time, felt a chill.

If the other party was the same as himself before, with an attitude of half suspicion and half hesitation, then when Semi proposed this plan, the other party looked at him with only full aggression.

It's like a big bad wolf looking at a little white rabbit.

Although the other party's purpose is definitely not to eat like a wolf, but I am afraid that it will not be good for me to be brought to the leader of the claw marks like this.

Isn't it time to run away?

For the first time, such a thought occurred in my heart, but before the delphinium could take action, I found that the kite had reached out and grabbed her shoulder, and said with a smile on her face:

- "So, shall we go?" ”

“…… I don't think I've fully agreed with your philosophy. ”

For a while, the delphinium only felt that the cold hair stood on end, and the back was cold, but she still endured this feeling, and said calmly and coldly: "We may need to talk more." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, we have to walk a long way back, and we have time to talk slowly."

The kite said loudly, and then he didn't know where to find a pair of handcuffs: "But I may need to wronged you at that time, in order to prevent you from making trouble in the wasteland, be prepared." ”

Delphinium recognized it at a glance that this was the pair of handcuffs that Kite herself was wearing when she was in the interrogation room before. It is unknown when she stole it, but none of the Alien Bureau employees present were aware of it.

Looking at the pair of handcuffs, the delphinium was silent again.

She knows very well that this pair of handcuffs has no binding force on the magical girl, but the magic suppression technique on it is not a fake, if the other party really has any relevant surgical attainments, or even really understands some bondage techniques, after a little transformation of it, she wears this, but there is really no chance of turning the tables.

It's just that if you don't agree here, and thus enter the battle, you will have no chance of winning by using only the usual means. If you really lose, you still have to become a prisoner.

So what to do?

In the silence, Delphinch's mind was running rapidly, constantly proposing one plan after another, and refuting and screening itself. It's just that when the strength is at an absolute disadvantage, no matter what kind of plan seems so weak.

"You can recover a lot of strength by returning to the magic country", the plan proposed by this emerald originally seemed to be fine, but no one would have thought that less than a month after the full moon festival, an enemy with a similar size to the moth, or even higher, would appear in Fangting City.

In the face of such an enemy, even the delphinium that has not yet destroyed the scissors cannot guarantee victory, let alone the aggravated injuries now.

Tilting her head slightly, looking at the pair of heavy pupils like yin and yang fish, Delphinch's heart gradually turned cold. The hand that was originally slightly clenched into a fist gradually loosened, and even had a tendency to gradually lift.

Crash!

And just when she wanted to choose to retain her strength and save the last glimmer of hope, there was a loud sound of glass breaking from the window of the reception room.

- "Not necessarily, right?" ”

The strong wind from the upper floors of the building poured into the house from the window, and with the strong air current, a figure rushed into the house at a very high speed.

Several purple-red beams of magic shot out of the figure's hand, heading in the direction of the kite. The kite calmly raised her hand to block it, but found that the simple technique could not stop the purple-red magic at all, and the barrier was penetrated in an instant.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and the magic power around her froze violently, and the originally invisible magic power silently turned into a strange pool of liquid metal, which was able to stop the menacing magic attack.

And in the midst of the lightning, the figure rushing in from the window had already wrapped its arms around the crook of the delphinium and the back of the neck, and retreated to the other side of the room.

In the scattered purple-red magical radiance, the delphinium raised its head slightly, and saw a somewhat familiar, but somewhat unfamiliar face.

It was a face I had seen not long ago, but it looked much greener.

White cheeks, with a slightly firm look in the weakness, the low ponytail of the return lies on both sides of the neck, and under the bangs are the girl's purple eyes. The corners of her eyes were slightly lowered, and her temperament was slightly weak, but when she held the delphinium in her arms, she stood still, and the strong battle intent seemed to overflow, making her thin figure look extremely upright.

"It's all right."

She lowered her gaze and showed a somewhat bright smile to the delphinium, and then, confiding in a sentence that only two people could understand: "Because, the magical girl is here!" ”

- "Magical Girl, Honor Plate Certification Number 41422, Chaoyan, the defense mission begins!" ”
