Chapter 92 Visitors from the Kingdom
A few days later, in the special shelter of Fangting City’s Special Policy Bureau.
At the entrance of the building, Delphinium was standing there with her arms folded, waiting silently with Hong Siyu.
Today is the day agreed upon with the country. Someone from the Investigation Institute will come to investigate the attack on Qianqianting City and bring the rebellious magical girl involved, Sparrow, back to the country.
After noon, the sun was still blazing, so the two of them found a shady spot. But even so, they still felt very hot.
Fortunately, not long after, accompanied by a few golden flashes mixed in the dazzling sunlight, several figures slowly descended from the air and stopped steadily in front of the two.
These are three magical girls.
Unlike ordinary city garrison teams, they all wore golden robes over their normal clothes and golden hard hats on their heads, which sparkled brightly in the afternoon sun and looked quite uniform.
The magical girl in the lead had a good figure that would impress the opposite sex, and had short light red hair that reached her ears, but she looked quite serious.
Seeing the Delphinium standing in front of the door, she took the initiative to come forward after identifying it, performed a seemingly strange etiquette, and said: "Certification card 35032, team leader of the Investigation Institute, Magical Girl Cat Tail."
His voice is full of energy and gives people a calm impression.
"Hanaru Certification 41076, Inspector, Delphinium." Delphinium released her hands that were wrapped around her chest and returned the courtesy.
"Delphinium?"
Confused about the code name, the magical girl who called herself Cattail asked, "Please allow me to confirm, if I remember correctly, your code name should be Cornflower?"
"It has been changed." Maintaining the dignity that a "patrol officer" should have, Cuiqiao answered concisely.
"Very well then, Lord Delphinium."
Possessing excellent professional qualities, Maowei quickly ignored these unimportant details and turned to the main topic: "We are a special investigation team from the Investigation Institute. The purpose of this trip is to receive the magical girl who was arrested by you in this city and is related to the 'claw mark'. Excuse me, the one detained here is the magical girl with the former card certification 14267, Jinling, who now calls herself 'Sparrow', right?"
"Yes."
"Okay, then please tell us the specific place of detention."
Cattail saluted again.
The two team members behind her seemed to agree with her opinion, or perhaps they were in awe of Inspector Delphinium's identity, so they did not interrupt but followed suit and saluted.
Delphinium did not reply, but raised her chin and glanced at Hong Siyu, who immediately understood and took over the conversation. After greeting the investigation team, she led the group into the special detention facility.
The special detention facility in Fangting City is essentially a prison for the magic side, and most of the time it is used to detain local magic criminals who violate regulations.
It was actually the first time for this institution to detain magical girls. Not to mention whether such an institution had the ability to detain magical girls, the Abnormal Policy Bureau itself was not qualified to detain and investigate magical girls.
Only when encountering a magical girl like Sparrow who rebelled from the country, and with the approval of the Investigation Institute, would Fangting City dare to lock Sparrow up here.
Even so, they only dared to put him in a single cell and assigned someone to guard him, for fear that something unexpected might happen.
A group of people followed Hong Si and came to the top floor of the building. They walked through the tightly closed metal doors. Not only the investigation team, but also Cuiqiao was looking around.
For her, this was the first time she had come to this building since her comeback. Upon closer inspection, she discovered that the scenery inside was very different from that of the past.
Perhaps it is due to technological development, or perhaps it is due to increased investment. In short, both the hardware facilities and the beautification and decoration in special shelters are much more advanced than they were 19 years ago.
"That magical girl named Sparrow has been quite energetic these days."
Hong Siyu led the way and introduced the investigation team behind him: "To be honest, if she didn't have that forbidden magic hanging around her neck, I wouldn't dare to get close to her."
"It's just a grasshopper in autumn. It will jump around a few times anyway."
Cattail commented expressionlessly, "Once she is brought back to the country, she won't have the chance to make any noise."
"Are there such rebellious magical girls in other cities?" Hong Siyu asked back.
"Yes, we are the team that specializes in investigating claw marks." Maowei answered seriously.
This aroused some interest in the heart of the Delphinium who was following beside, so she asked: "What is the origin of these magical girls called Claw Mark?"
"Your Excellency, to be honest, we don't really know."
Seeing that it was the Inspector who was asking the question, Cattail looked at Delphinium and answered seriously, "To be exact, it should be after the great disaster and celebration nineteen years ago. Since then, the number of rebellious magical girls began to increase, and in just a few years, they quickly formed a living force to resist the country and have been evading our capture."
"Nineteen years ago...you mean..." Delphinium frowned.
"Yes, not only in times of disaster or celebration, but also after you, my Lord, stop your activities."
Maowei said without hesitation: "So it's normal that you don't know them."
While they were talking, they had already reached the end of the corridor and stood at the door of a special cell.
Hong Siyu opened the door, and Cuiqiao looked inside, and found that behind a transparent barrier, there was a young woman sitting quietly on the bed.
Seeing the cell door opened and the faces of several magical girls appearing behind the door, Sparrow's calm expression gradually changed: if she only flinched when she saw Delphinium, then when the investigation team in golden robes walked in from behind, this expression turned into panic.
"Good afternoon, Sparrow. I've brought people here again today!"
Obviously not paying attention to Sparrow's thoughts, Hong Si greeted the transparent barrier in a familiar manner and gestured to the investigation team: "How are you? We are about to return to our country. Do you feel the warmth of home?"
When did these two people become so familiar with each other? Kuiqi was puzzled and couldn't help but glance at Hong Siyu, but she didn't ask the question.
Hong Siyu seemed to have noticed her confusion and grinned, "This guy must have been bored while locked up here, so he came to chat with me for a while."
Of course, no matter what happened before, Sparrow is obviously not in the mood to talk about this now.
Seeing several members of the investigation team approaching, she couldn't retreat no matter how hard she tried. Soon she was handcuffed by two members of the investigation team, and then dragged out of the cell with a gloomy look on her face.
"What will happen after she is brought back to the country?" After watching the whole process with her own eyes, Delphinium asked from the side.
"Your Excellency, he will probably be interrogated and sentenced based on his crime after a series of evidence is collected."
Cattail looked at Sparrow's back as she was taken away, and said calmly, "If she didn't do anything out of the ordinary during her defection, her magic power will be revoked and she will be transformed back into an ordinary person. If she has killed a large number of innocent people or participated in actions that endanger the country, she will be thrown into prison. If she has committed the crime of killing her colleagues, she will be sentenced to death."
"Of course, if she can reveal enough information about the claw marks, the country will forgive her part of the crime depending on how useful the information is."
"Even if she has killed other magical girls?" Delphinium asked.
"…Even if she has killed other magical girls." Cattail said affirmatively.
"Is the rebellious organization called Claw Mark so serious to the country?" Delphinium frowned.
"It's very serious to be exact." Cattail shook his head, took out something from the inside of his robe, and placed it in front of Delphinium, "But this is not something I should tell you. There are other people who want to talk to you."
"who?"
Delphinium looked at her hand with some confusion, but when she saw what she took out, her doubts quickly disappeared.
Because what Maowei took out was a mirror, more specifically, a magic mirror for communication. And on the top of the magic mirror, there was a small gem inlaid.
The gem is bright yellow in color, but it also has a hint of dark green. When exposed to light, this dark green gradually disappears, giving people a golden impression.
There was no doubt that it was a chrysoberyl.
