Chapter 167 Arrangement
The Security Bureau's red exclamation marks were displayed one by one on the electronic map in the conference room. There weren't many of these exclamation marks, but they made everyone present feel very depressed.
Because what they are seeing now is a list of calamity events displayed after filtering out abyssal beasts of the [Sunfall] level and above.
However, this wasn't what worried them the most. What truly unsettled them was the old director's next words:
"Currently, Yeqiu City can only maintain one-way communication with other cities. In other words, we can receive information from other cities, but other cities cannot receive information from us. This means that we will not receive any external support in the short term."
These words immediately weighed heavily on everyone present. The atmosphere in the meeting room was somber, but not gloomy or fearful.
As leaders of various departments within the Security Bureau, they had seen far more severe situations than today.
It's just that the sudden change from a long period of peace is still a bit disorienting.
"This matter unfolded suddenly. Basically, the magical girl squads in each region are staying in their respective areas, so the impact won't be too significant in the short term. However, the most important thing now is to find the source of this matter and inform all the magical girl squads of its location."
Feeling the gazes coming from all directions, the old director's weathered face became very serious:
"Actually, everyone doesn't need to worry too much. You know, the magician Kikyo is right here in our Yeqiu City."
After the old director gave a detailed analysis, the people present gradually realized that the disaster was not as serious or terrifying as they had imagined.
However, they understood that the old director had summoned them here for another task, and they all inquired:
"Director, besides focusing on the source of the disaster, is there anything else you would like to specifically instruct us on?"
The old director nodded, his expression turning extremely serious.
"First, we must resolutely ensure the safety of people's lives and property; I won't reiterate this. Second, I don't want a repeat of the 'black card incident' that occurred during the last Black Tide crisis. Third, here's what's in this refrigerated box in front of me:..."
.
Without prior arrangement, their gaze shifted from the old director to the refrigerator on the table, which had been there since they entered the conference room.
As we left the meeting room,
It was already past midnight when Peng Liang followed behind the old director.
"Want one?"
The old director took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it to Peng Liang.
"I don't smoke."
"What are you pretending to be so polite for in front of me? The moment you pull up your pants, I know what you're up to." The old director lit a cigarette, the smoke billowing around him.
"Tell me, what is it that makes Captain Peng follow me around all day?"
"It's not a big deal. I'm thinking of recruiting new people for the Special Operations Department. The losses last time were too severe."
"Go ahead and find someone. You're the special operations unit commander anyway, so if anything goes wrong, you'll be the one to take the blame. Why are you coming to me? Do you want me to take the fall?"
The old bureau chief's suspicious gaze swept over Peng Liang.
They seemed to be marveling at how wicked this kid was.
"Hehe, not really. I just heard that you recently acquired a treasure. Can I borrow it? I have a feeling that this treasure will be useful in this calamity."
Peng Liang rubbed his hands together like a fly, his eyes sparkling as he looked at the other person.
"How come you have such good information?" The old director asked, stubbing out his cigarette with great surprise.
After a pause, somewhat exasperated, he asked, "Did Xiaolu tell you?"
Peng Liang smiled sheepishly, then straightened his expression and said, "Old Director, that thing won't be of much use to you anyway, so you might as well hand it over to us."
"Alright, alright, daughters grow up and leave home. Go get it from the logistics department yourself later. Use it sparingly, there are only a few in each city, don't break it." The old director sighed.
"Okay."
This treasure isn't anything mysterious; it's just a pro version of the demon-sealing barrier that the witches set up in the park in Dongguan City last time.
Through research by the Human Abyss Science Research Institute, the Demon-Sealing Barrier has been compressed to the size of a suitcase, making it easy to use and simple, without the need for the elaborate setup required by witches using special magic arrays.
Since witches use this to capture magical girls, they can naturally use it to capture witches as well.
They treat you the way they treat you.
"By the way, the more critical the moment, the more strictly the team needs to be managed and to abide by the rules and regulations. I don't want the people from the Adjudication Bureau to be fighting on the front lines while someone stabs them in the back."
Peng Liang nodded solemnly, knowing that the old director was bringing up the "black card incident" again.
The black card incident is not complicated.
The magical girl is known as the Java Sparrow, while the logistics liaison of the Security Bureau is known as the Wild Bee. The Java Sparrow and the Wild Bee coexist.
The former is responsible for fighting the enemy at the front, while the latter is responsible for information communication, logistical support, and intelligence gathering. Based on the abilities of each arbitrator, they coordinate and cooperate to control the overall situation.
Over time,
We often hear news of the two getting married.
The results were remarkable, but this also led to a disaster: one of the wild bees developed feelings for a certain Arbiter captain, but the magical girl said she needed to think about it. Unexpectedly, the wild bee's love turned to hate, and she leaked all the magical girls' information to the Abyss. If it weren't for the timely intervention of the magician Kikyo, the entire team would have been wiped out.
It sounds incredible, but it really happened.
The logistics liaison officer was subsequently executed.
From then on, the magical girl harbored a vague hostility towards the Security Bureau.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing."
Just as Peng Liang was about to leave, the old director called him back again.
"Please speak."
"Investigate the two people in this photo."
The old director pulled out two photos from his phone, showing Iris and Butterfly, two slender women of different heights attending a comic convention.
"My daughter saw this video last time, and I didn't pay much attention to it. But the more I thought about it before bed, the more something seemed off. The vibe is too similar; it's not something an ordinary person could fake. You should try to investigate it, but be careful about your safety when you do."
"Okay, sure."
Peng Liang nodded, indicating that he had made a note of it.
I had just stepped outside when I ran into an acquaintance.
With long black hair tied in a single ponytail, delicate features, and a petite, exquisite figure, she wore a white dress, looking every bit the legally grown-up loli.
"Xiao Lu".
"You finally decided to come out. I thought you were going to spend the night inside." The girl reached out her fair hand and took Peng Liang's hand.
"I chatted with your dad for a bit, so I came out a little late."
"Did you propose to my dad?"
The girl's words were always so unexpected.
Peng Liang:
Peng Liang gave a few bitter laughs and didn't answer. He was torn between the two options, finding it difficult to choose.
"Tch, you don't even have that much guts, you're a piece of trash."
Seeing Peng Liang's expression, Xiao Lu, who had a youthful face and large breasts, was somewhat disappointed. She didn't understand what was so good about that woman.
Her breasts weren't as big as hers, her legs weren't as white, and her butt wasn't as perky. The only advantage the other woman had was that she was a little taller than her.
With a 30/70 win rate, she has 70% against her opponent, and the dragon is right in her face. How could she possibly lose?
But none of that matters now.
The most important thing is personal safety. Looking at the scenery outside the sky, the girl's expression also became serious. "Tonight is very dangerous. Be careful when you go on missions."
Looking at the girl's lovely face, Peng Liang nodded, "You too, as a magical girl, you also need to be careful."
"I know, I know~ I'm a veteran who became a magical girl during the Black Tide Crisis."
"If you're just sitting on the sidelines slacking off, then you're definitely a veteran."
Night fell, and all things fell silent.
The white light dissipated.
Hoshino Seri looked at the demon's corpse and the cell phone in front of her.
Her pale golden eyes, like autumn water, held a hint of coldness that flickered in their depths.
She was in a terrible mood today. Not only was she woken up in the middle of the night, but she was also tricked.
If it were in the past,
She would never make such a basic mistake.
But today she fell into this trap. It's said that girls in love often have negative IQs.
After she came out, all she could think about was how the male teacher would view her once he found out she was a magical girl.
It's all Teacher Xiaobai's fault.
Looking at the blood-red sky, it's clear that something big is about to happen. I hope he doesn't wander around outside aimlessly!
But thinking about how lazy the male teacher looks, he's probably still fast asleep in his warm bed.
A cold wind blew by.
Hoshino Seri felt inexplicably uneasy. She recalled the scene of the male teacher standing foolishly in the rain that day, and she took out her phone and dialed the number of the male teacher who was sleeping.
"Feed".
After a brief rustling sound, Bai Yuze's clearly nervous voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Hoshino, what's wrong?"
"Um, Yeqiu City is particularly unsafe tonight, so you must stay home and not wander around."
"Okay, I know. Sleeping is the most important thing, so I'll definitely stay in bed."
After a moment of contemplation, the male teacher's worried voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Hoshino, please be careful when you're out there. If you encounter an Abyssal Beast that you can't defeat, don't be reckless. After all, revenge is a dish best served cold."
"Okay, I understand!" Hoshino Seri nodded.
After a few seconds of silence, Hoshino Seri hung up the phone first, as if the call would continue indefinitely if she didn't.
"Teacher Bai, you're just like a little kid."
Hoshino Seri muttered under her breath, but the gloom on her face vanished without a trace.
She raised her head again.
Looking at the blood-red sky, the unease in my heart resurfaced.
She had seen this scene once before, and it could be considered one of the omens before the Lord of the Abyss descends.
【The Heart of the Bellflower】
"The power of the bellflower, the rainbow bridge, awaken the power of the gods."
"At this moment, I invoke the power of magic, let it transform into light, and let brightness descend to illuminate the dark night!"
Magical Girl Kikyo I
In the dazzling white light, Hoshino Seri's outfit changed.
Dark eyes, a fair oval face, long, smooth, jet-black hair, delicate and pretty features, a light touch of cherry lips, and an expression that is both firm and tinged with melancholy.
She seemed to radiate a faint, gentle glow that inexplicably brought a sense of peace.
The Kikyo mage murmured a few words.
Several snow-white paper figures rose into the wind, drifting in all directions and wandering around. Before long, they all drifted in the same direction.
A few minutes later,
The white paper figure flew back.
It slowly landed in her hand, and the Kikyo magician slowly closed her eyes.
It seemed to be sensing something.
After a while
She opened her eyes, a hint of confusion flashing in her clear gaze.
She has found Li Xuanyu's location.
Changya High School.
A few days ago, while teaching a magical girl class, I overheard them talking about strange things happening at Choya High School.
Just in case, she added a magical shield to the magical core of the magical girl Qingju to protect her from noise disturbance.
I also marked Li Xuanyu.
did not expect,
This is what we're using now.
After locating her junior magical girl, Kikyo, the sorceress, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they hadn't known each other for long,
However, she still had a very good impression of these magical girl juniors.
Kikyo, the magician, was gathering her magical power, preparing to head to Changya High School to save Li Xuanyu.
Her phone vibrated in her magical space.
Who would message her at this time? Could it be the Violet Mage?
Open your phone.
It turned out to be from her CCSA account; a stranger had sent her a text message:
"Kikyo the Magician, hello. I think I've located the villainous witch's lair. I've sent you the exact location, please take a look."
The Villainous Witch's Lair: Zishan Hotel Address: Dongguan City. Upon receiving this message, Kikyo, the magician, was momentarily stunned. Then, she clicked on the stranger's profile picture and discovered that it was the account of the captain of the Gladiolus Judgment Squad.
no doubt.
The veracity of this news is quite high.
Kikyo, the magician, still decided to go there, as she believed the cause of this calamity was...
Even if the villainous witch isn't the mastermind, she's still an accomplice. We should deal with these traitorous magical girls who are aiding and abetting evil first.
But in this way,
No one went to rescue Aoju, the magical girl junior.
Almost in that moment of hesitation, she suddenly remembered someone: the Violet Mage.
A kind smile appeared on Kikyo's gentle face.
The task of saving the magical girl juniors will be left to the Violet Mage. She hasn't forgotten the Violet Mage's mischief before, so this time it's her turn to have a headache.
Saving the magical girl junior and destroying the witch's stronghold are two different events.
The task levels are the same.
Sometimes the former is more serious than the latter.
Their differences:
The latter only requires a one-sided battle.
The former occurred in a school, where the situation is very complex and involves numerous constraints.
There are also many things to consider.
Although this is not good, I'll just consider it a small act of revenge against Violet-chan, and I won't do it again.
Kikyo, the magician, silently warned herself.
In a certain residential area, Chen Yuyi slowly walked out of the building, gazing at the bright moon outside the corridor, which was faintly shrouded in layers of red mist, her expression inscrutable.
She took out her phone, its pale white light reflecting in her pupils.
These days she has been observing the daily training of the magical girl juniors in CCSA.
have to say,
Kikyo, the magician who was rated as the strongest magical girl, certainly had some skills. But what puzzled her even more was why the Violet Magician had vanished into thin air?
Since Kikyo the Magician appeared, she has never seen this vice-captain again.
Mysterious disappearance
It's exactly the same as it was a few years ago.
It seems the inspector couldn't find anything on her either; all that evidence had no effect on her whatsoever.
This shows that
The background of Violet Wizard is a bit scary.
When Violet reappeared, it brought news that Li Xuanyu had disappeared.
This was followed by the terrifying red fog and the simultaneous outbreak of disasters in various places.
Violet was connected to the villainous witch, and she initially didn't believe it, but now she couldn't help but start to believe it.
After leaving the residential building,
She was walking alone on the road.
Head to the location where Li Xuanyu disappeared.
The streetlights were dim, with only a few emitting a faint glow, as I walked to the entrance of a quiet alley.
Chen Yuyi turned her head casually, but there was nothing behind her.
There were only some trash cans and messy garbage, which she ignored as she walked on, but the strange feeling grew stronger and stronger.
Next second,
A pale yellow light emanated from her, like a bright sun rising slowly.
In an instant, the entire dark alley was completely illuminated, and no shadow could be hidden under the dazzling light.
Two young people in the alley were also affected by the blinding sunlight.
Unable to open their eyes, the woman the boss had ordered them to follow disappeared when the dazzling light faded.
"What do we do? We think we've lost them..."
"withdraw."
The man with the buzz cut suppressed his lingering fear. Although he didn't know why the magical girl hadn't captured them, he understood that the tracking mission had completely failed.
