(The latest situation after more than half a month: I have been reported. New readers don’t need to worry. I am applying for unblocking.) The person who came was An Jinju’s sister, An Jincheng.

Because of the loss of the heart gem, the usually gentle girl has been a little upset recently.

Yesterday she ran into her sister on the street, looking dishevelled and dazed.

She asked repeatedly, but An Jinju kept crying and hesitantly refused to explain what had happened.

But she could sense that her heart gem was no longer with her sister.

Seeing her sister crying bitterly, she couldn't bear to criticize or question her anymore and could only think of a solution by herself.

She felt a little regretful.

She had always been too accommodating and doting on her younger sister, causing Jinju to develop a willful personality and countless minor flaws.

She knew that Jinju had always dreamed of becoming a magical girl. Maybe it was because of her influence, or maybe she just liked her.

But she knew very well that being a magical girl was actually a dangerous profession, requiring frequent battles with disaster beasts and monsters, and she didn't want Jinju to get involved.

So when Jinju asked for the Heart Gem to experience the feeling of being a magical girl, after considering it, she decided to lend the Heart Gem, which is the most important thing for a magical girl, to her sister.

Maybe after Jinju fulfills her wish of being a magical girl, she will no longer insist on being a magical girl.

But she didn't expect that Jinju lost the heart gem after just one day.

An Jincheng sighed softly.

She analyzed the matter carefully.

With the enhancement of her heart gem, Jinju possesses strength close to C-level. Although she is not as good as the new magical girls, she is not comparable to those ordinary magicians who are not even qualified to participate in the rating.

Only three types of people have the ability to snatch the Heart Gem from Jinju: disaster beasts, monsters, and magical girls.

Disaster beasts are not intelligent and will not specifically steal gems. They are also large in size and can be easily discovered and eliminated.

The magical girls have no motive or reason to steal the heart gem. They are comrades in the united front, so that is excluded.

There is only one possibility left, and that is a weirdo.

A strange creature appeared in Binhai City, it attacked Jinju and stole the Heart Gem.

But she didn't know the specific details.

For example, why the weirdo didn't kill Jinju to silence her but just stole the gems; why Jinju was unwilling to tell her the details; why Jinju was only wearing a coat and crying when she saw him yesterday.

She had a bad suspicion in her mind, but she was not sure.

After making a preliminary inference, she contacted the Magical Girls Association and informed them that an unknown monster might appear in Binhai City.

The response she got was that the Magical Girls Association would increase vigilance and detection, and she could go to investigate and take any action she deems appropriate. If she found any trace of a monster, she would report it immediately.

It was a very reasonable arrangement and An Jincheng couldn't find any fault with it, but she always felt like something was missing.

She knew that Magical Girls Associations in various places were always short of staff, and it was impossible for them to send reinforcements just because of an uncertain news.

But she had a bad feeling.

This was an intuition left over from her long experience of dealing with danger, and she was quite sensitive to this aspect.

She had been planning to have a good talk with her sister today and find out the details.

But Jinju didn't return home until the sun set.

She happened to see the news on TV about the appearance of disaster beasts beyond the warning, and the disaster level was still a strong B level.

Even though she lost her Heart Gem, she is still a very powerful magic user, but she cannot transform into a magical girl and is not qualified to fight B-rank disaster beasts.

An Jincheng sighed and prepared to turn off the TV.

But the girl who suddenly appeared on the TV screen made her pupils dilate suddenly.

Jinju, why is she there? !

And it looked like he had killed the disaster beast? An Jincheng looked at the girl giving a victory speech on TV and left the room without wasting a moment.

She knew there was a big problem here.

Even with the power of her Heart Gem, Jinju cannot defeat the B-rank Disaster Beast, let alone when the Heart Gem is taken away by a monster.

Now, all kinds of strange phenomena and clues have become a tangled mess, and she needs to unravel them and find the truth of the problem.

The most important thing right now is to find the Jinju.

Based on her past experience, she judged that Jinju was now in a very dangerous situation.

Binhai City solved the disaster beast without any other magical girls taking action. Who could have done it? An Jincheng's mind was particularly clear.

It can't be a tangerine.

Well, there is only one truth...

There is a B-level monster at the crime scene!

It was unknown whether its target was Jinju or the one who stole the Heart Gem, but it was clear that Jinju was already in the other party's attention! After notifying the Magical Girls Association, she rushed to the scene of the crime.

With her current strength, she can't fight against B-level monsters, she needs help.

The Binhai City Magical Girls Association was unwilling to cooperate at first because she did not have the Heart Gem and identity tag.

An Jincheng had no choice but to contact the Magical Girls Association of her previous city. After some explanation and communication, she got two helpers.

At this moment, the three girls have arrived at the outskirts of the city, looking for Jinju together.

It was already dark, and the dim street lights were on, shrouding this sparsely populated suburb in a terrifying atmosphere.

"Sorry, the user you are calling is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later..."

The mechanical voice came again. An Jincheng put down the phone and continued to shout loudly, "Jinju, are you here?"

Again, there was no response. She raised her head and looked at the two magical girls in the air. "Did you find anything?"

The two girls shook their heads.

"Why don't we look for it separately? This way it will be more efficient," An Jincheng suggested.

The two girls nodded in agreement.

"I'll go over there." An Jinju turned and walked towards another road.

Seeing An Jincheng leave, the two magical girls fell from the air onto the roof of a bungalow.

"I say, did the association send us here just to do something as boring as 'find a lost little girl'?" A red girl with twin ponytails spoke up.

Another girl with short blue hair was more cautious. "I heard there might be some weirdos here."

"Who knows? Isn't that just her one-sided statement?" The red-haired girl shrugged.

"Since she said so, she must be certain about it," the blue-haired girl retorted.

"I think she is just using us as laborers to help her find her dear sister."

"Don't say that, she's a senior, and I heard she's an A-rank magical girl."

"Tsk." The red-haired girl said disdainfully, "Are you talking about that A-level senior who even lost her own heart gem? She can't even transform now. Do you think she's reliable?"

The blue-haired girl couldn't refute this. Someone who could lose the most important heart gem for a magical girl seemed unreliable.

"If you ask me, although both are A-level, Senior Liu Huang gives people a much more reliable feeling than her."

"Actually, Liu Huang... isn't very reliable either, but I heard from the association that Liu Huang seems to be out of contact recently?"

The red-haired girl shrugged. "Who knows what she's doing? A-level is better. You have full freedom of movement. People like us at B-level and even lower-level C-level can only do hard labor like 'looking for lost girls'."

"It's just a disaster beast egg. It hasn't even taken shape yet, but it was destroyed with just two punches."

The red-haired girl said as she took a stance and threw two fists forward, causing a series of wind-breaking sounds. "This is really not satisfying. If I had known earlier, I would have stayed here and encountered a B-level that was not in the warning range."

The blue-haired girl was silent for a while, "Chiyan, have you ever thought about who killed the B-level disaster beast when none of us went there?"

The red-haired girl paused. "Didn't the report say that it was a new face?"

"That girl is exactly what we are looking for now."

The two looked at each other, and a hint of worry flashed in their eyes at the same time.

…

"Jinju!"

An Jincheng shouted loudly while holding her phone and asking people passing by occasionally, "Have you seen the girl in the photo?"

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Passerby A: “No.”

Passerby B: “No.”

Passerby C: "Oh, I know her. Isn't she the magical girl who defeated the disaster beast this afternoon? She is our hero."

"Where did she go? Did you see her again?"

"Not really."

Passersby shook their heads and left, and An Jincheng was at a loss what to do.

At this moment, a voice came from behind.

"My beautiful lady, what do you want to see An Jinju for?"

An Jincheng turned around suddenly and found that the person standing behind him was a young man wearing a formal suit, with a tall stature, handsome face, and looking quite gentlemanly.

She has an angular face, deep facial features, strong lines, a gentle smile, and a mature temperament in her every move, which is difficult for the middle school boys in the school to fake. There is no doubt that she is a female killer who can easily charm thousands of girls.

An Jincheng did not let down his guard because of the other person's appearance, but instead felt a little suspicious.

It was too much of a coincidence that such a person appeared here at this point in time.

If it is too coincidental, it is very likely not a coincidence.

The other person's temperament is completely inconsistent with this old suburb, and his appearance here seems a bit weird.

"So you are such a young lady. Sorry, I was rude. I take back the title of Madam."

After An Jincheng turned around, Tang Feng noticed the other person's appearance and bowed slightly to apologize.

The girl in front of me looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old. It was indeed inappropriate to call her a "lady". The word "girl" would be more appropriate.

The flowing long hair, pretty face, gentle eyebrows and soft facial features give people the impression of a gentle woman who is well-educated and well-mannered.

Tang Feng's heart began to beat wildly.

It wasn't because the girl was too beautiful and attractive that made his heart beat fast, but because she was a magical girl.

Although the other party did not transform, he was still sure of this.

Because he couldn't help but feel the throbbing feeling that only occurred when facing a magical girl.

The transformation of a magical girl actually comes with a cognitive shielding effect. If the transformation is not done in person, or if the person is very familiar with the transformation, it is normally impossible to connect the transformed magical girl with her original form.

This effectively protects the privacy of magical girls and prevents them from being held hostage by monsters and having their relatives and friends slaughtered in revenge.

But this doesn't work for Tang Feng.

Although he couldn't match the magical girls he didn't know with their real bodies one by one, as long as they were magical girls, he would feel a surge of excitement in his heart.

In his eyes, all magical girls are invisible.

He suppressed his inner throbbing and spoke to the other party in a calm tone, so that no one could tell from the outside that something was wrong with him.

"May I ask who you are?"

An Jincheng did not answer the other party's question, but asked back vigilantly.

"I'm An Jinju's teacher. I heard you calling Jinju's name just now, so I came to see." Tang Feng answered politely, and no one could find fault with him.

An Jincheng looked even more alert, "Which school are you talking about?"

She will not be exposed to any information actively or subconsciously, and the other party's words may just be a trap.

"Of course it's the Magical Girls Academy. I'm a teacher there."

"Will there be male teachers at the Magical Girls Academy?"

“Here’s the proof.”

Tang Feng took out a black gold-stamped card from his pocket. This was the teacher identity certificate he got from the principal after passing the interview. It was a genuine one.

An Jinju took the card, looked at it repeatedly, and then pointed a finger at it.

With the infusion of a faint magical power, soon after, a string of letters lit up in a corner of the black card, emitting a faint golden light.

Tang Feng raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this scene. He didn't expect that the card had such an anti-counterfeiting mark. If he had made it up casually, it would most likely be exposed.

"It's actually true..." An Jincheng said to himself.

She returned the card to Tang Feng and said, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. What should I call you, teacher?"

"It's okay. It's a good thing for a girl to be alert when she's alone outside." Tang Feng put the card back into his pocket and extended a hand to the girl. "Hello, my name is Tang Feng."

An Jincheng hesitated for a moment and also extended a hand, "Hello, my name is An Jincheng."

The two men shook hands and then parted.

The other party's well-behaved movements and impeccable manners gradually let down An Jincheng's guard. Coupled with the proof of his teacher's identity, An Jincheng began to chat with him.

"Teacher Tang Feng, I'm Jinju's sister. She didn't go home after school today, and I can't get through on the phone. Do you know where she might have gone?"

She habitually kept something to herself in her words and did not fully explain it.

Tang Feng shook his head. "I don't know. I saw Jinju left the school right after school."

An Jincheng's expression changed. "Do you live here?"

Tang Feng continued to shake his head, "No, I came here to do a home visit for a classmate. I just finished it and when I was about to go back, I happened to see you calling Jinju's name, so I came over to ask."

"Is that so?" An Jincheng looked disappointed.

He thought he would gain something, but it turned out that he didn't know where Jinju was.

"Seeing you're looking here, is this where Jinju was last seen?"

"Yes, I heard from nearby residents that they saw her in the afternoon, and I don't know where she went afterwards."

"How about... I help you look for it?" Tang Feng suggested, "After all, it's such a large area, it's hard to find every corner by one person."

Seeing that An Jincheng didn't speak up right away, Tang Feng continued, "Jinju is my student, and I'm very worried about her. Even though she has only been here for a day, I have to shoulder my responsibilities as a teacher and be responsible for every student to the end."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Teacher Tang Feng."

An Jincheng finally nodded.
