Off Work, Then I Become a Magical Girl

Lin Yun, 36 years old, lost his wife early on. A mid-level manager in a private company and a single father, he’s been feeling the weight of a midlife crisis lately.

His career has hit a roug...

Chapter 10 Doubts

Chapter 10 Doubts

"Okay, I understand the situation. We will contact the branches in other cities to see if we can get feedback to the Magic Kingdom through the sowers in other cities."

Listening to the words coming from the phone, looking out the window with lifeless eyes, Lin Yun took a deep breath and sighed helplessly: "Well, thank you, thank you for bothering you."

The time was the morning of the second day, and the place was Lin Yun’s own office.

He is talking on the phone with Hong Si.

The sudden incident of the previous night finally affected his sleep, so he was bleary-eyed and not in a good condition.

But he still had a lot of things to deal with, so he couldn't rest. Not to mention the huge amount of work that the company had piled up early in the morning, he had a lot of questions to discuss with the Strategy Bureau about what happened in the wetland park the night before.

In order to ensure the safety of his daughter, he privately participated in the battle under the name of the magical girl "Delphinium" and repelled the enemy, but the incident was far from over. After all, no matter from which perspective, there seemed to be a black hand controlling everything in the dark.

In the end, he summarized four doubts.

The first is that at the time when the mutilated beast appeared last night, he could not contact Hong Si and this matter.

He currently has no official contact with the Strategy Bureau, and is currently basically relying on his personal relationship with Hong Siyu to exchange information, but just last night, this connection was cut off.

Judging from the information Hong Si received from the other side, not only did she not receive her call, but she couldn't even find any trace of it in the missed call records. It was as if Lin Yun had never made the call.

But in fact, this is impossible. Lin Yun clearly remembers that after discovering that his daughter was missing, he chose to contact Hong Siyu, but the result was that no one answered the call.

Secondly, there was the mysterious phone call that informed him in advance at noon on the day of the incident. This number could no longer be dialed after daytime, and only a voice prompt of "out of service" was received.

The other party appeared very suddenly, and his purpose was unclear. He just provided him with information and then disappeared abruptly. Why? The third point was the abnormal magic barrier at the scene.

This is not a skill that a remnant beast should master. At least, a remnant beast at the level of the worm does not have this ability. However, Lin Xiaolu and he only encountered one remnant beast at the scene, which means that there was at least one enemy hiding in the dark.

But the enemy did not show up in the end, and even watched the remaining beasts being destroyed by him, he did not take action. What was his purpose? Finally, the sower named Moko said that before he arrived, there were no sowers and magical girls in Fangting City, which was also a huge doubt and hidden danger.

But this matter is not only lacking in clues, but there is not even a starting point for investigation. It is completely a black box.

The above four doubts may be related to a conspiracy involving Lin Xiaolu, which forced him to pay attention.

But there was too much incomplete information, and he couldn't piece together the truth with what he had available, which made his already sleep-deprived brain even more painful.

"So, how does it feel to be back?"

Hong Siyu's question came from the other end of the call, which brought Lin Yun back to reality from his thoughts.

He put the hand holding the phone down and raised it again. He briefly considered the question and gave his answer:

"It's terrible."

It was very bad. His magic power was declining, his skills were rusty, and the current situation in Fangting City worried him.

More importantly, the result of this attack was completely different from his expectations.

Although his initial goal was just to save his daughter, after he successfully saved his daughter, he began to consider whether he could put on a show and trick the sower to see if he could get some information out of him. After getting enough information, he revealed his identity to his daughter, and everyone was happy.

But in the end, there was not much useful information, her identity was not revealed, and she agreed to Moko and Lin Xiaolu's request without thinking. Next, she had to conceal her identity while guiding Lin Xiaolu in the training of a magical girl.

Although this can achieve the purpose of "communicating with his daughter", it is not the way he wants at all.

But when he thought of his daughter's confession to Delphinium last night, he felt that if he revealed his true identity at this time, it would probably make both of them fall into an extremely awkward situation. So in the end, he still didn't tell the truth.

He couldn't help rubbing his temples when he thought that he might have to continue playing this awkward identity game.

"Isn't that bad? That's a very personal answer."

Hong Siyu seemed to smile during the call: "Senior, don't push yourself too hard. Men have to admit their mistakes when they reach middle age."

"Can I hang up now?" Lin Yun responded to the sudden dirty joke with a cold attitude.

Hong Siyu laughed especially loudly this time: "Haha! It's just a joke, why are you shy?"

At this time, the office door was pushed open, and a bearded man walked in. After seeing Lin Yun talking on the phone, he pointed at his mouth and then the door in an exaggerated manner, using body language to express his meaning: Do you want me to go out? Lin Yun immediately shook his head and said to the phone: "That's it, we'll talk about the rest next time."

Then, completely ignoring Hong Si and the objections from the other side, he pressed the hang-up button.

When the call ended, he heaved a sigh of relief.

"Sure, that's fine."

A pile of documents was thrown on the table in front of him. The unshaven man walked up to him with a strange smile on his face: "I heard the woman's voice. Are you finally planning to start a new relationship?"

Lin Yun pulled the corner of his mouth and looked at him helplessly: "Which ear of yours heard that I was flirting with someone?"

"left."

The man opposite said nonchalantly: "Come on, sign for me anyway."

This person's name is Liu Guanshan. He is the director of the foreign affairs dispatch department and a colleague in the company who often deals with Lin Yun.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The two people knew each other when they were still clerks. After working together for so many years, their relationship is still pretty good, and they can occasionally have a drink together.

So he was relatively free to talk, and could even bring up topics like widowhood, and Lin Yun wouldn't argue with him.

Taking out a gel pen from the pen holder beside him, Lin Yun took the document and explained, "Let's not say that I don't have this mood, and I don't dare to have this idea now. The child at home and I are already in a bad mood. If I really tell her that I want to find her a stepmother, she will make a big fuss with me."

Of course, these were just polite words. The real reason was that he didn't want to find one, but it was too sad to say it, and he didn't want to leave such an impression on others in the workplace.

"Still making trouble? Give him some more pocket money to comfort him."

Liu Guanshan didn't care and sat down on the corner of his desk: "My children are all like this. If they make trouble, just give them some benefits and they will be fine."

"It's not like I haven't told you before, it's not about pocket money at all."

Lin Yun signed with his hand and continued, "If I had known what she was thinking before, it wouldn't have come to this."

"Want one?" Liu Guanshan, who was sitting at the table, took out a pack of cigarettes from his coat pocket.

"Let's talk after we sign."

"Hengyun said they're going to wrap up work tonight and invite us to dinner. Do you want to go?"

"No, I'm going home to be with the kids."

"Oh, so family-oriented?"

"Just think of me as a family man."

As Lin Yun said this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He did go to accompany his daughter in the evening, but unfortunately not as a father.

It was an irreversible fact that his daughter had become a magical girl. Now that things had developed to this point, no matter how unwilling he was to accept it, he could only act based on this.

And right now, the first priority in a series of actions is undoubtedly teaching.

——He has to be a good senior to the magical girl and instruct his daughter on how to train at night.
