Chapter 1 I became a magical girl?!
At seven o'clock in the morning on the subway, people's resentment is heavier than ghosts.
Middle school students rushing to school, fishermen fishing at night, interviewees who have interviewed with more than a dozen companies but have not received a single offer yet...
Ye Xiaoxuan is the most common type, a worker who needs to commute for an hour to work in the city.
At this moment, she was embedded in the human relief of the morning rush hour, rubbing her elbows against those of strangers. She could only lean on the handrail and enjoy a moment of peace.
I worked overtime until two o'clock last night, and it was already midnight when I took a taxi back to my rental house.
I finally returned to the rental house and just as I lay down on the bed, I was pulled back to reality by the alarm clock.
But their company is currently advancing an important project, and this kind of life will continue for another two weeks.
Two weeks!
Two whole weeks!
Ye Xiaoxuan felt that the fate of sudden death was waving at her.
Can someone destroy the earth?
Facts have proved that sometimes people can't make blind wishes.
There was a loud "boom!"
The subway car sank suddenly, then began to shake wildly.
Ye Xiaoxuan stood there, as if riding on the back of a mad beast.
What's going on?
She subconsciously grabbed the handrail.
"Earthquake? Terrorist attack? Or... is it really the end of the world?"
His nails almost dug into the anti-slip grooves, and his knuckles turned white from the force.
A shrieking sound of twisted metal could be heard in my ears, and the entire tunnel seemed to be torn apart by some unknown force.
Under the flickering lights,
The passengers in the carriage were dead silent at first.
Then, it was like the play button was pressed.
Screams, cries, and the sound of cell phones smashing to the ground exploded in the subway, squeezing her eardrums.
“The door won’t open!!”
“Help! Is there any staff?!”
“Mom…Mom!!”
The passengers around her were pressed the play button, but Ye Xiaoxuan's world seemed to be pressed the pause button.
“Is this… a dream?”
She pinched her thigh hard, the pain was so real that it made her face the absurd reality.
All sounds suddenly faded away from her, the handrail still felt cold to the touch, and her fingers were glowing strangely.
She pulled her hand back suddenly, but the light spread along her skin and wrapped around her wrist like a living thing.
A dazzling silver light exploded before her eyes, and she actually turned into a magical girl.
Sparkling purple pigtails, exaggerated lashes and glittery eyeshadow, and her signature, shamefully short puffy skirt that revealed more thigh than she had shown in thirty-five years; and a star-shaped wand with a ridiculous giant bow.
In extreme shame, an unknown creature with purple fur appeared in her mind.
In an instant, its doubtful voice came into my mind.
"A beautiful girl—wait, why is it an old lady?"
"Big Mom?!"
These two words were like lighting a powder keg. She was only 35, how could she be an aunt?
The purple unknown creature seemed to sense the danger and immediately changed its tone.
"Beautiful girl, your world is facing an unprecedented crisis! The dark forces are about to devour everything! Only you——"
As she was speaking, the purple creature waved its short claws in her mind, and the background music even automatically played an epic BGM:
"—— can save this desperate world!"
"Now, pick up your wand and fight with me!"
The magical creatures spoke passionately, but Ye Xiaoxuan felt nothing in her heart.
She didn't even bother to raise her hand and just replied.
"oh."
"That's your reaction?!" The magical creature looked a little unbelievable. "The world is about to end and you just say 'oh'?"
Oh, as expected... Did I hallucinate because of overwork? I just need to sleep for five more minutes...
She comforted herself.
I just don't know if I'm late.
Her perfect attendance award!
For a moment, the supervisor's reprimand seemed to explode in my ears again.
Ye Xiaoxuan blinked her dry eyes——
It was like a body with the soul sucked out. I wanted to cry, but I didn't even have the strength to do so. All I could feel was the cold wind blowing across my stiff face.
At this moment——
"boom!!!!"
A loud noise broke her fantasy.
The entire carriage began to shake violently again.
"Be careful above!!" the magical creature screamed.
But it's too late.
In just a moment, the roof of the car was torn open and cold wind rushed in.
It was a scene she would never forget.
A scarlet beam of light pierced through her chest, and she became that ordinary worker again.
"cough……!"
A rusty taste rose in her throat and her ribs made a teeth-grinding cracking sound, as if a row of pencils were being roughly broken in her chest.
"When will this dream end?"
Ye Xiaoxuan wanted to move, but her body was completely unable to move. In a daze, a scarlet monster passed by her and walked towards the end of the carriage.
As he walked, he murmured,
"Magical girl, where is she..."
It was not human language, but she just "understood" it, as if she was forced to receive a strange code.
This is the last scene before she falls into darkness.
Ye Xiaoxuan struggled hard as she opened her heavy eyelids.
When she woke up, she found that the subway was still running smoothly, and she even had one more seat than before.
"Ha...it really is a nightmare."
Ye Xiaoxuan laughed dryly, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, adjusted her sitting position, and prepared to continue sleeping before the subway arrived.
As her consciousness gradually faded, a voice exploded in her head.
"Unfortunately, it is not."
The sweet voice was like a maggot on the tarsus, and Ye Xiaoxuan's body jumped up as if she had been electrocuted, attracting the attention of people around her.
"Hahaha."
Countless eyes were cast in her direction. Ye Xiaoxuan lowered her head awkwardly and took out her cell phone to pretend to send a message.
"Who the hell are you?" Her voice was filled with alarm.
"Don't be so angry. At least I gave you a subway seat."
Then I really have to thank you, Ye Xiaoxuan thought to herself, but the unknown creature began to talk to itself.
Then, in my mind, the magic creature's fur trembled, "Huh~ I was scared to death just now!"
Ye Xiaoxuan: ...
"Luckily, you are really bad! The angry man knocked you back to your original form with one punch, so you escaped."
Ye Xiaoxuan:!
"But that's not enough,"
"As long as the Stone of Patience is in my hand, the rage will come back sooner or later, and then it won't be so simple anymore."
Ye Xiaoxuan:?
"So, beautiful girl! For the sake of world peace, are you willing to become a magical girl and fight alongside me?"
Ye Xiaoxuan:!? ...
If this were an animation, the passionate background music would sound at this moment, the camera would be 360 degrees around, and she would turn around and shout "I promise you!"
If she were thirteen years old, her eyes would light up and she would sign the contract without hesitation.
But the reality is——
She is thirty-five years old.
So, facing the red eyes of the purple creature, Ye Xiaoxuan didn't even think twice.
"don't want."
The tone was extremely decisive.
"Why?"
"No reason."
"There must be a reason, right?"
“That’s the biggest reason.”
…
This conversation continued all the way until the subway arrived at the station. Ye Xiaoxuan successfully squeezed out of the subway, and it was still going on.
She was taken to the company's time clock along with her shared bicycle.
Then he heard the company's new voice pack for the time clock.
"Ding - Checked in successfully, have a nice day."
A sweet female voice came from inside the time clock. Ye Xiaoxuan couldn't count how many times she had been speechless today.
"Good morning, Xiaoye!"
"Good morning, Xiaoye!"
"Good morning, Sister Ye!"
Walking on the road, Ye Xiaoxuan greeted the people coming and going slowly. Everything seemed to be the same, until -
She mechanically raised the corners of her mouth and greeted as usual.
"Hello, Sister Wang."
What I heard was a sentence
"Xiaoye, why are you glowing?"
