Chapter 152: Encounter at the Station
Lin Yun's conversation with Emerald did not last long.
After Lin Yun helped it select the address of a private research institute, the funny fairy doll strode out of Lin Yun's office and left the Strategy Bureau as if no one was around.
According to Emerald, this fairy doll is not only a mimic of the fairy image, but also has the same cognitive interference ability as fairies, and is much stronger than ordinary fairies. Ordinary fairies can only affect ordinary people with less powerful magic, making them unable to see themselves; but Emerald's doll can block the observation of all objects except magical girls and fairies.
After seeing off the uninvited senior figure from the research institute, Lin Yun processed some documents and met with some employees in the office. After that, it was finally time to get off work on his first day in office.
Even though he became the director of the Strategy Bureau, Lin Yun still didn't have the habit of driving to work. Today, he still takes the light rail tram to travel. The logistics department originally planned to provide him with a special car and driver, but he refused.
He doesn't think of himself as a leader now, nor does he want the treatment he receives from people around him to make him think so.
Compared to his previous workplace, the location of the Yi Ce Bureau building is closer to the tram station and more convenient to walk to. Taking advantage of the night, Lin Yun walked for about ten minutes and arrived at the nearest tram station.
After passing the security check and swiping his card to enter the station, Lin Yun waited on the platform for the train to arrive. He glanced around aimlessly and suddenly found a familiar figure:
It’s Tian Sheng.
At this time, Tian Sheng was wearing wireless headphones, holding his mobile phone with his head down, his eyes focused on the screen. It was unclear whether he was watching a video or playing games, but he was obviously very engrossed.
Lin Yun had no desire to approach and talk to him, but because the other party was his employee, he looked at him twice more. However, it would have been better if he hadn't looked at him. When he really saw the content on the other party's mobile phone screen, he almost subconsciously choked.
——He saw himself.
Not as myself as Lin Yun, but as myself as Delphinium.
Two weeks ago, on the night of the Full Moon Festival, when Moss released a large number of remnant beasts to attack the entire Fangting City, in order to save the city from danger, Delphinium unfolded her own wonderland and eliminated all the remnant beasts at the cost of her own magic suit.
At that time, the silver-blue thread spanning the entire city center was seen by all the citizens.
This was not the first time that Kusanagi had launched a large-scale wonderland in Fangting City. In fact, she had done something similar during the great beast disaster 19 years ago. At that time, Kusanagi, who was still young, was not very shy about media interviews, so she admitted her actions to other team members without any reservation.
The unintentional behavior in the early years has led to the bad consequences today. On the night of the Full Moon Festival, when the delphinium once again unfolded its wonderland, the iconic blue silk thread immediately made people guess the identity of its owner.
As a magical girl who was once very active in Fangting City, the name "Cornflower" is actually not unfamiliar to people. In addition, some curious people quickly dug out old videos, and "The comeback of magical girl Cornflower" suddenly became a hot news among netizens in Fangting City.
Now, what is playing on Tian Sheng’s mobile phone is the video recording of Cuiqiao’s interview in his early years.
After seeing this, Lin Yun was speechless for a moment. After standing there silently for a while, he moved his feet again and quietly stepped aside.
But just when he was about to ignore Tian Sheng and go to wait for the bus somewhere else, car lights suddenly lit up not far away on the track.
The tram is coming.
Tian Sheng, who was originally concentrating on the video content, suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the tram, and then he saw Lin Yun standing not far away.
Then, he walked across the crowd and headed towards Lin Yun.
"Chief!" he shouted.
This immediately ruined Lin Yun's plan of pretending not to see him. He could only look in Tian Sheng's direction helplessly and nodded expressionlessly.
The two followed the crowd into the tram. Lin Yun found a secluded corner and stood there. Tian Sheng followed and said respectfully:
"Hello, Chief."
"When you're off work, there's no need for extra etiquette."
Lin Yun took out his cell phone and pretended to be busy flipping through it: "What's going on?"
"Ah, no, I was just a little surprised to see you, the director, taking the train as well." Tian Sheng took off the wireless earphones from his ears. "After all, even our minister takes a special car. What's going on with you?"
"I'm not used to being served, and I would feel uncomfortable sending someone to pick me up."
Lin Yun stared at the phone screen without looking away: "Don't use your minister as an example. It's normal for them to do that. I have no objection."
"I don't like being served... I see. Director, you are completely different from the leaders I have in mind."
"I'll take that as a compliment."
"No, I dare not."
Tian Sheng scratched his arm awkwardly: "And Director, I thought about what we talked about this afternoon, and I suddenly remembered some small details."
"This afternoon? What happened at the welfare home?" Lin Yun then raised his head and looked at Tian Sheng.
"Yes, it's about the welfare home."
Speaking of this, Tian Sheng's awkward smile faded a lot, and he said seriously: "I seem to remember that I encountered a crippled beast at that time."
"A remnant beast? Are you sure?"
Lin Yun put away his phone. "According to the confessions of relevant personnel and the records of the incident, there was only one crippled beast in the welfare home at the time, and it was quickly defeated by the magical girl. Almost no one encountered the crippled beast head-on."
"Yes, I know, but I seem to have the face of the crippled beast in my memory. I seem to have seen it at a very close distance."
Tian Sheng thought about it and organized his words: "Also, besides the crippled beast, I should have seen a magical girl."
"Why do you think so?" Lin Yun asked calmly.
"I asked someone to find out this afternoon. In the case of beast attacks, there are two types of people who will receive psychological hints and perform memory manipulation afterwards in order to make them forget certain facts."
Tian Sheng explained seriously: "One is the person who suffered great psychological trauma due to the attack of the remnant beast; the other is the person who saw the true identity of the magical girl."
"Do you think you were psychologically seduce because you saw the magical girl?"
"Yes... Because I remembered, the color of magic."
"The color of magic?"
"Although I can't remember who it was, I still remember the color of the magic."
Holding the ring on the tram with one hand, Tian Sheng touched his heart with the other hand: "At that time, what I saw in the welfare home should be the green magic."
"I'm not sure about this, but I can't think of any other reason. If I'm not mistaken, the reason why I had such a strange dream and why I became inexplicably stronger might be related to the green magic."
There will be another 2k chapter later.
