When Lin Xiaolu dragged the reluctant Bai Jingxuan and Xia Liang out of the secret base, Hong Sihe had already got into his car and drove out of the gate from the parking lot.

didn't have time to explain anything more, Lin Xiaolu hurriedly rushed out of the community, stopped a taxi on the side of the road, and told the driver to "keep up with the car in front".

Receiving such a strange request, the driver muttered in his heart, but he did not refuse—the little girls did not look like people with ulterior motives. He started the accelerator to keep up with the car in front of him, and asked a few questions from the side, trying to figure out the purpose of the little passengers to track others, so as to satisfy his superfluous curiosity. It's just that Lin Xiaolu obviously didn't reveal it, so he didn't ask any more questions.

On weekday afternoons, the streets are relatively sparsely trafficked. This certainly makes the passage of vehicles smoother, but it also increases the possibility of Lin Xiaolu and others being exposed in disguise. In order to prevent being detected by Hongsi and the following too tightly, the girls also chose to hang far behind, just like last time.

This has the advantage of making the tracking more subtle, but it can also lead to missing the target. So Lin Xiaolu had to sit in the passenger seat and watch Hong Sihe's driving route intently.

This made Bai Jingxuan, who was sitting in the back seat, think carefully.

My sister is focused on tracking activities, so it seems that she can take advantage of the opportunity to do some small movements.

It's just that she doesn't know what Xia Liang is thinking now. In her opinion, it is not difficult to avoid Lin Xiaolu's gaze if she wants to ventilate the news in such a small space, but it is difficult to hide from Xia Liang, who is sitting next to her.

Secretly put her hand into her coat pocket and touched her mobile phone-this mobile phone was even given to her by Delphinium after joining the magical girl team, Bai Jingxuan glanced in the direction of Xia Liang with some weakness.

This action is actually very hidden, and the purpose is only to confirm the other party's movements, without any superfluous intentions. But to Bai Jingxuan's surprise, when she looked at Xia Liang, she found that Xia Liang was also looking at herself.

Not only that, while looking at each other, Xia Liang also squeezed his eyes at her.

I'll cover up.

She opened and closed her lips and said to Bai Jingxuan silently.

After saying this, because she was worried that Bai Jingxuan would not be able to understand what she meant, she also pointed to her pocket quite intimately, glanced at Lin Xiaolu through the rearview mirror, and made a phone call.

After such a move, no matter whether Bai Jingxuan was dull or not, she also understood what Xia Liang meant: she seemed to be on her side.

After confirming this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense body relaxed a little. Pulling the phone out of her coat pocket with a light movement, she stuck it to the back of the driver's seat like an elementary school student avoiding the teacher in class, and carefully lit the screen of the phone.

While she was doing this, Xia Liang pretended to lie down on the passenger seat, stretched out his head from Lin Xiaolu's side, and deliberately said loudly: "How is it?" Do you see where she wants to go? ”

"Where to go?"

Lin Xiaolu glanced at her a little strangely: "How can I see this, I can't predict the future." ”

"Didn't you notice that she was driving to the outskirts of the city?"

Xia Liang stretched out his left hand again and pointed forward from afar, creating an obstacle between Lin Xiaolu's vision and the rearview mirror: "Isn't it obvious that she is going to the outskirts of the city at this point in time, she is going to work." ”

Because there was a taxi driver next to her who didn't know the truth, she couldn't say the sentence "Hong Sihe is going to the different policy bureau", she could only use "going to work" to refer to it, but this was enough for Lin Xiaolu to understand what she meant.

It's just that comprehension is comprehension, which does not mean that Lin Xiaolu agrees with Xia Liang's point of view.

"You're thinking too simply."

Grabbing the seat belt in front of her, Lin Xiaolu looked intently at the front window of the car: "If she really goes to work, why does she want to go out with her current appearance?" ”

When she says "this look", she refers to the form of Red Si and as a magical girl.

I don't know why, since Hong Sihe returned to Fangting City as a magical girl, she has hardly revealed her true nature, and most of the time she uses the appearance of a magical girl to carry out activities.

This is not a big deal, but if you want to interpret it in a simpler way, it can be said that it is a matter of personal preference for others. But in the eyes of Lin Xiaolu now, it is a clear suspicion.

"It's all said, you're thinking too much......"

Xia Liang gathered around Lin Xiaolu and chatted with each other, while Bai Jingxuan seized the opportunity and edited the information on her mobile phone as secretly as possible.

Because she doesn't have much experience in using mobile phones, Bai Jingxuan's typing proficiency is very low, and she has to stare at the keyboard carefully to type. This awkward posture at the moment, coupled with the occasional bumps in the taxi, made her progress extremely slow.

Fortunately, Xia Liang's efforts to drag time can be described as a must, and he used all kinds of marginal topics to draw Lin Xiaolu's attention, so that his eyes were not on the back seat at all. This gave Bai Jingxuan enough time to edit the information slowly.

Time passed like this, minute by minute, and when most of the content she wanted to input was completed, a faint layer of sweat had oozed from Bai Jingxuan's brain. She clasped her toes, bit her lower lip slightly, and glanced at the passenger seat from time to time, for fear that Lin Xiaolu would suddenly turn around and take a look during the process.

As it turned out, she was lucky, because Lin Xiaolu didn't realize the small movements behind her until she finished typing the content.

However, she was unfortunate again. Because just when she was only a few characters away from being able to send the message, at the intersection in front of the taxi, a bicycle crossed the red light and sped past the front of the car at a very fast speed.

Squeak –

The driver was quick with his eyes and hands, and he stepped on the brake suddenly, and at the same time, his hand did not stop, and he pulled the handbrake in time, which narrowly and dangerously stopped before hitting the other party and avoided a traffic accident.

After a set of actions, the driver was afraid of a nameless fire, he pressed the window, and shouted at the bicycle owner: "How do you ride, don't die!" ”

However, the bicycle owner who was almost hit seemed to have no idea that he was brushing shoulders with death, he just deviated a little, glanced back at the driver, and rode away without looking back, not even a word of apology.

Seeing that the other party didn't mean to stop at all, even the driver was a little stunned, looked at his distant figure, and muttered: "What kind of person?" ”

And if the driver is just stunned, then several passengers in the car are brain crashes.

Because at the moment of braking just now, a mobile phone suddenly flew out of the back seat and landed at Lin Xiaolu's feet.

It's Bai Jingxuan's mobile phone.

She didn't have time to put it away, or even stabilize her balance, and slammed into the backrest in front of her. The mobile phone, which was originally held in an awkward position, was directly taken off, thus becoming the current scene.

The screen of the mobile phone is even in the interface of information input, but because the keyboard occupies more than half of the screen, the input content is not fully displayed.

Looking at the mobile phone that fell to the ground, the girls were speechless for a while.

Bai Jingxuan's brain was buzzing, and she didn't know what to do for a while; Lin Xiaolu was staring straight, probably still thinking about what was going on; Xia Liang's smile froze completely on his face, and half of the gossip he said was also stuck.

Obviously, a car accident almost happened, but their attention was not on the danger at all, and they were all focused on the mobile phones on the ground.

"Ah...... Xiaoxuan, you are too careless! ”

Among the three, it was Xia Liang who reacted first, quickly changed his course of action in response to the situation, and reached out to grab his mobile phone: "Don't play with your mobile phone when you sit in the car, what if you hit somewhere when you brake just now?" ”

She showed an attitude of caring about Bai Jingxuan's safety, and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to get the phone back. Just as the outstretched hand touched the phone, the other hand was already holding down the back of her hand.

Turning her face a little stiffly, her gaze met Lin Xiaolu's.

"What's written on your phone?" Vaguely aware of something, Lin Xiaolu asked with a wink.

"Hmm...... Hmmm......"

Bai Jingxuan, who was in the back seat, had already stretched out her hand and wanted to take the phone from Xia Liang, but when she heard Lin Xiaolu ask, her outstretched hand trembled subconsciously: "No, I didn't write anything." ”

"Didn't write anything? So why write such a long paragraph? ”

Squinting his eyes slightly, Lin Xiaolu's mind was running at high speed: "Or, what's the hurry to type so many words in the car?" Can't just make a phone call? ”

Bai Jingxuan felt that the back of her hand was oozing sweat.

"That is, that is......"

She was not good at lying, and she tried hard to find a reason, and once again turned her attention to Xia Liang for help, but this time, the object of her help was also difficult to protect.

At this time, Xia Liang could only firmly hold the mobile phone screen on the ground, not letting Lin Xiaolu see what was written on it. Because she used up too many topics in the small talk just now, she can't find any good reason to change the topic now.

The atmosphere in the car fell into a stagnation for a while, and the driver who had just stretched out his head to scold people looked back at the scene in the car, and he was inexplicable for a while.

He scratched his chin in some confusion, wondering if he should ask what was going on, but before he could make a decision. An even stranger thing flashed in the afterglow of his eyes.

Turning his head to look in the direction he noticed, his mouth opening wide.

At the same time, the girls, who were still in the middle of a confrontation, also noticed the sudden imagery, and they looked out the car window, their eyes wide open.

- There's a remnant there.

It wasn't until this moment that they understood what the owner of the bicycle who had just crossed the red light was doing: it wasn't that he was finding fault, but that there was a remnant behind him, and he was running away.

Looking at the remnant beast that suddenly appeared at the intersection, Lin Xiaolu couldn't help but look across the intersection, wanting to see if Hong Sihe's car was still there, but unfortunately there was nothing in his field of vision.

She realized that if she didn't catch up now, she might really not be able to keep up with Hong Siyu next.

If you want to talk about the feelings in her heart, she really wants to send a message to let the driver drive to continue chasing, but reason tells her: as a magical girl, no matter what the situation is, the crusade against the cruelty is the first thing.

Without much time to decide, she looked at the open road ahead, and her emotions finally turned into a lament.

"-Why, there are remnants of beasts at this time!"

Complaining in her mouth, she let go of the hand that was pressing on the back of Xia Liang's hand. Unbuckled the seat belt in front of him, opened the car door, and said loudly to the two girls behind him:

"What else to see? Get out! ”

"Wait a minute, you're going to get off here?"

The driver's voice on the side trembled: "Don't you see what's outside the car?" Sit down, it's time for us to run away! ”

Unfortunately, his opinion did not reach the ears of the girls at all, because before he could finish his words, the three girls had already rushed out of the car and ran out of the car. Only two ten-dollar bills were left on the seats, presumably to pay for the trip.

He tried to find the traces of the little passengers, but unfortunately he didn't see a single figure. Seeing that the remnant beast had noticed him, he waved his claws and rushed towards the highway, he could only grit his teeth, gave up the plan to save people, stepped on the accelerator and chose to leave.

After that, the transformed magical girls swarmed up and fought against the remnants.

The battle is destined to be unfair.

This remnant beast that suddenly appeared was just an ordinary beetle level, and it was already an extremely dangerous monster for ordinary citizens, but it was just a pure sandbag for the current Fangting City team.

In addition, because of its appearance, several girls were more or less embarrassed because of this, and their mood was extremely unhappy, and they were extremely heavy. Within a few minutes, the unlucky remnant beast fell to the ground in a wail, turning into an echo in Lin Xiaolu's hands.

Solving the remnant beast with an unhappy face, Lin Xiaolu has not forgotten the purpose of his trip. She hurriedly stood on top of the wreckage and looked into the distance, but unfortunately there was no trace of Hongsi and the vehicle in her field of vision.

Now, she had to admit a fact - that is, her tracking failed.

Not because of a mistake in action, not because of a traitor's informant, but because of a remnant beast that came out of nowhere.

"Oh, if you lose it, you lose it, I said it, just look in that direction, Sister Hong must just go to work."

Xia Liang on the side patted her shoulder and comforted her, but the smile on her face couldn't see her true intention at all: "It's rare to take a half-day vacation, we might as well find a place to play." ”

"Uh-huh!" Bai Jingxuan, who got her phone back, deleted the information she edited, and then responded to it like a good baby.

"You two! You two! ”

Although it was his own decision, Lin Xiaolu was still so angry that he stomped his feet: "Why are you so happy when the action fails!" What about backbone? What about ambition? What about solidarity? ”

"A crime not of war, a crime of not war."

Xia Liang continued to play the round and said: "We have tried our best, but it is really unfortunate, there is no way, relax." ”

"Sister Xia Liang is right!" Bai Jingxuan nodded like pounding garlic.

"It's not a coincidence, it's almost a success!"

Lin Xiaolu was angry, and stretched out his hand to Bai Jingxuan: "And you, what do you mean by 'right'!" You little traitor just wanted to tell the news, didn't you? ”

Bai Jingxuan's nodding movement suddenly stopped, turning into a fierce shake.

"Thinking too much, how could a good child like Xiaoxuan do such a thing?"

Xia Liang pushed Lin Xiaolu's shoulder, and the smile on his face became brighter: "There's really no way, failure has already failed, let's find a place to play nearby, I've already decided on a place!" ”

"You!"

Lin Xiaolu turned her head and glared at Xia Liang, for a while, but her attitude softened a little. Probably realizing that the situation was indeed irreparable, she hung her head a little frustratedly: "Forget it, tell me, where to play?" ”

After all, it was a rare vacation, and she didn't want to spend the rest of her time in negative emotions.

"I'll see...... As for the name, it is the Fangting World Trade Mall, which is near the Strange Policy Bureau. ”

With Lin Xiaolu's approval, Xia Liang turned on his mobile phone and clicked on his memo: "It's a government-invested shopping plaza, it's only been open for a long time, I heard that there are many interesting stores, I haven't been there yet." ”

"Near the Alien Bureau?"

"Yes, it's only about a twenty-minute walk to the Bureau."

Xia Liang flashed the screen of his mobile phone and shook it: "If you want, we can play until the end of work, and then go to the different policy bureau to confirm whether Sister Hong is at work." If she really came out of the Alien Bureau by then, she would always be able to confirm what I said, right? ”

"What if she doesn't come out of the Alien Bureau?"

"Then I'll accompany you next time, okay?" Since the goal has been achieved, Xia Liang, who is in a good mood, crosses his waist.

As for Lin Xiaolu, who failed in the plan, she was sullen and didn't feel interested in anything, but she still held an attitude that was close to stop-loss, and nodded reluctantly: "...... I hope you mean what you say. ”

The girls who couldn't continue to follow because of various coincidences didn't know that Hong Sihe's car was indeed driving towards the outskirts of the city, in the direction of the Alien Bureau. It's just that just before reaching the destination, a little change has occurred.

The car, to the side, turned a corner.
