"Welcome to the Xiangbei branch of Yingxuetang Bookstore. You can now enjoy a 20% discount on Yingxuetang's century-old outstanding award-winning works. Welcome to buy."
Zhao Yuhan read the text displayed on the screen at the cashier counter, and looked at the customers who walked into the bookstore with a slightly nervous business smile.
The new customer is wearing the uniform of a senior officer of the Evil Disaster Bureau. The oversized wide-brimmed hat on his head is stretched out of shape, and the opening of his shirt is also because of the (tǐng) (chest xiōng) It was slightly deformed due to excessive force.
He didn't reply to Zhao Yuhan's words, but stretched out his hand to signal her to keep quiet, and then glanced into the bookstore.
The view was blocked by the screen dividing the area, so nothing could be seen.
He took out his cell phone and dialed and waited for a while.
The other party didn't answer.
He straightened the wide-brimmed hat on his head, walked calmly in front of Zhao Yuhan, showed his ID as an officer of the Evil Disaster Bureau with his left hand, and showed a photo on his mobile phone with his right hand, saying:
“Citizen, I am Ye Ge, a senior officer of the Xiangbei City Evil Disaster Bureau, and I need your cooperation in the investigation.
Have you seen this person in the photo today? "
Zhao Yuhan looked down and saw a work photo of Yu Peihuan on the screen of her phone.
"Look for Sister Peihuan. She's not here. She said she had something urgent and left in the morning. I don't know where she went."
Yege put away his ID and mobile phone and was about to say "Thank you for your cooperation" when suddenly the hairs on his back stood up, as if a Bear Gerris who had been hungry for three days was eyeing him with malicious intent. The sound of the beast's breathing was far away one second, and reached his ears the next.
After being put on his shoulder by a hand, Yege huddled his shoulders like a quail, and then he felt a lightness in his pocket. The pack of cigarettes that he had just opened in the morning and had only smoked two cigarettes was held by the person behind him. In hand.
"Datou, why do you always smoke Zhongli's flue-cured cigarettes? I'm almost tired of smoking, aren't you?"
"Brother Liang...why are you here..."
"Uncle Liang, it turns out you were the one playing with the swivel chair."
Zhao Yuhan was not surprised to see Liang De in the bookstore. She was so inspired that she had already noticed the fluctuation of extraordinary power on her father's 996 medical bracelet. At that time, she also reported it to the Xiangbei City Evil Disaster Bureau. One case, but no response.
The manufacturer behind this kind of black technology bracelet is definitely not an ordinary organization.
It is impossible for such products of unknown origin to be sold in Xiangbei and spread across the country without the acquiescence of the Evil Disaster Bureau. Maybe they are products manufactured by the Evil Disaster Bureau itself.
Treating hair loss, selling bracelets, smoking skewers... Uncle Liang is probably a peripheral member of the Evil Disaster Bureau.
They are all so kind and polite to peripheral personnel. Mr. Ye is a very nice person, but his head is a bit big...
"It's not about playing with a swivel chair, it's about being bullied in the workplace."
“Workplace bullying?”
"This kind of thing is too cruel for high school students. It's better that you don't know."
Seeing the disapproval look on Zhao Yuhan's face, Liang De added:
"Of course, I know that you have actually learned a lot of dark knowledge... But don't tell me, you play your innocent girl, and I play my Lishuai adult. I don't mean to treat you like a child. Let's respect each other. .”
"oh……"
Liang De covered the cigarette butt with amber inner air, lit the cigarette he had quit, patted Ye Ge's left shoulder and said:
"Datou, you are too addicted to smoking, which damages your image as one of the top ten outstanding young people. I have been in Xiangbei during this period, so I have to help you quit smoking.
You should buy a different kind of cigarette. Buy one that is more expensive and you are not used to smoking. It will definitely help you quit smoking. "
"Brother Liang, I still have something to do, so first..."
Ye Ge's right shoulder suddenly sank.
"What are you doing with Yu Peihuan?"
He turned around and saw his shoulders tightened even more.
"Sister Zhixian... Two magical girls went berserk in the training base today, and the situation is quite complicated.
The two newcomers are both relatively well-qualified. Doctor Liu at the base can only help them stabilize their vital signs, but cannot eliminate the noise in the magic. Tomorrow is an important training related to the mid-year evaluation, and she is almost crying. .
After Director Zhou was transferred, now there is only one first-level transfer lawyer, Director Yu, in the bureau. She suddenly couldn't be contacted, so I helped Dr. Liu go out and look for her. "
"I'm not a first-class barrister?
That's right, I've been retired for so long, and the bureau has long forgotten about me. After being re-employed, they will treat me as if I don't exist. The title of Special Advisor to the Magical Girl Force is just an empty title.
Forget it, forget it, it's not interesting. I will apply for resignation tomorrow. I, Li Zhixian, have nothing but backbone and will not take advantage of your Xiangbei Bureau's free salary. "
While Li Zhixian was speaking, he slapped Ye Ge on the shoulder with his palms. The dangerous vibrations made him start to make a buzzing sound from head to toe, and even the floor under his feet seemed to be dented.
Ye Ge was so dwarfed by Li Zhixian's slap that he couldn't reply, so he could only look at Liang De for help.
Brother Liang, you have smoked so many cigarettes from me...you probably won't refuse to save me.
Liang De immediately moved his eyes away, out of sight and out of mind. He stuffed the cigarette back into Ye Ge's pocket, looked at the ceiling, turned around and left.
Bullying in the workplace is as fierce as a tiger, and it has slipped away, so you can take care of yourself.
He had just taken two steps when Li Zhixian grabbed his clothes from behind.
"The Magical Girl Training Base is in the southern suburbs of the city. It's faster to fly there. I'm too lazy to change, so Lao Liang, please give me a lift."
"ah?"
"I have nothing to do. I'm going to take a look at the standard of the newbies in recent years, and take care of those two little girls who have run away with their magic power."
Liang De had no interest in being a fish carrier and immediately refused:
"There were a few little girls patrolling on steel broomsticks in the sky just now. You can ask any one of them to carry you.
I still haven't finished reading "You Never Know Which Will Come First, Tomorrow or Hair Loss". As the saying goes, everything is inferior except for reading, so you should find someone else. "
"Butou, how many regional beauty pageant champions are there among the newly recruited magical girls this year?"
"Six or seven, about the same as in previous years." Ye Ge was a little confused. Sister Zhixian suddenly asked me what I was doing.
I saw a sudden flash of blue light in the bookstore, and waves of waves sounded in the void.
A moment later, a two-seater convertible with mechanical bat wings on the side stopped outside the bookstore, its powerful engine sounding loudly.
"Get in the car, time waits for no one, it's important to save people."
Li Zhixian shook his head and got into the passenger seat of the sports car.
Lao Liang, you...sometimes are so understanding that people look down upon you.
Mr. Liang, who was eager for justice and righteous, put on his seat belt with a serious face, stepped on the accelerator, and drove her to the magical girl training base in the south of the city.
…
The next day, Yingxuetang Xiangbei branch.
Zhao Yuhan carried a plate of cupcakes and glanced at Li Zhixian secretly at the entrance of the library area. After confirming that she was not sleeping, she quickly walked to her side.
The little girl was about to bring out the cake and talk to Li Zhixian, but she found that the cake on the plate had disappeared without a trace.
Liang De ate all the cupcakes in his hands behind the book in three mouthfuls, shook the back of his swivel chair and said:
"She doesn't like sweets. Xiaohan, it's useless for you to please her with this. You might as well give her two kilograms of dried tofu that goes well with wine."
Li Zhixian rubbed his brows to dispel some sleepiness, raised his head, glanced at Zhao Yuhan, and said to the little girl:
"No need to promote. I'm waiting for the promotion in May to buy "Work Well in My Next Life". I don't have any other books I want to buy at the moment, and I can't afford them even if I want to.
The uncle behind you is just plain-looking, but he is actually much richer than me. There are few books in this store that he can't afford, so go to him to sell them. "
Zhao Yuhan held the plate in front of the clerk's apron and shook her head quickly.
"I'm not trying to sell... well, sister, are you a magical girl?"
"Previously."
Mr. Liang, who was unreasonably criticized for looking shabby, leaned his head over and said:
"Xiaohan, you don't have any insight at all when you ask this question.
Your Aunt Li is about to become a third-year-old, and you are still a magician and a girl. These four words do not match your mature and steady temperament, and she is almost the director of the magic neighborhood committee. "
Before Liang De finished speaking, Li Zhixian kicked him and his chair dozens of meters away, almost sliding all the way from the library area to the door.
"Aunt Li, I will come back!"
Li Zhixian reached out and took out the porcelain plate held by Zhao Yuhan, stood up and threw it at Liang De who was sitting on the swivel chair like a discus.
die!
After throwing away the plate, she adjusted her retro-style round glasses and looked at the girl in the bookstore in front of her.
Don’t you recognize me anymore?…
That's right, she was still young at that time, and after such an incident, the aftermath team must have used a memory-fading technique on them.
Well, it's better not to remember things like that.
It's a pity that I drink too much. No matter how much I drink, I still can't forget it.
"Do you want to be a magical girl?"
"Yeah!" Zhao Yuhan nodded vigorously and said:
"Actually, I have already participated in the selection of the Magical Girl Unit twice. The first time I did not meet the inspiration standard, and the second time it was because my cultural performance did not meet the standard...
My current results are much better than before, and my magic power reserves are more than doubled. I will definitely pass this year's selection.
Sister, can you tell me some things that new recruits should pay attention to during training? I want to prepare in advance so that I can perform better after joining the army. I want to become an official magical girl as soon as possible to protect everyone. "
"Didn't Yu Peihuan tell you about these things?"
Zhao Yuhan shook his head and said:
"Sister Peihuan is very busy at work every day. When she calls me occasionally, she just asks me about my studies. When I ask her, she will naturally know after joining the army. There is no need to rush to inquire now..."
"There's no need to ask in the future."
Li Zhixian nestled back into the light blue lazy sofa next to the bookshelf and said:
“I’ve seen a lot of little girls like you who only know about magical girls on TV and the Internet.
My sister will give you a piece of advice today. Whether you want to be a shining girl or an ignorant girl, don’t be a magical girl.
The evil disaster bureau is ten times worse than a black-hearted company. As a magical girl, you don’t have double holidays or annual leave. You work day and night. You get a small salary and a lot of things to do. I talk to you about dedication and sacrifice every day, but I don’t give you anything. If you improve your salary and work for one year, it will feel like ten years. Who knows who does it.
Fighting against evil sects and magical crimes is dirty, tiring, and dangerous. Some evil god believers stink more than canned herrings, and some evil god believers are uglier than anglerfish. Just like that, there are still magical girls who are willing to degenerate and become evil god believers. You should know how to do this. How miserable are magical girls?
Don't believe those propaganda reports on TV. Those beautiful, sassy and clean magical girls in the news are all selected by internal staff. They put on makeup for several hours before appearing on camera, and they also processed it in the post-processing. There are not many real magical girls. A clean one.
When I was a magical girl, I only washed my hair once every two weeks when I was busy, and then I just had dreadlocks.
You study hard and get into a good university, and use your magic qualifications to find a decent, high-paying job as a magic scholar or magic lawyer. It's much better than being a magical girl. "
Zhao Yuhan showed an incomprehensible expression on his face and said:
"But...magical girls are not an ordinary job. Magical girls are heroes who protect the country and the people."
Li Zhixian collapsed on the sofa and said impatiently:
"What kind of hero? Do you think I look like a hero? The Magical Girl Unit has heroic deeds and heroic moments, but there are no heroes. Only those who have sacrificed are called heroes. Without sacrifice, heroes should do what they should do after they are finished. The dead heroes are monuments. , the living magical girl is a screw.
Besides, what are the benefits of being a hero? You can ask some adults at random and ask them if they want to be a hero or a rich second generation.
Who would choose to be a hero?
No more chatting, I'm going to go back to sleep. "
She yawned and closed her eyes, no longer talking to Zhao Yuhan, and did not see the disappointed expression on the little girl's face.
…
"Uncle Liang, is that sister really a magical girl?"
Liang De, who was squatting at the door of Yingxuetang Bookstore and smoking, turned around and saw the slightly confused expression on Zhao Yuhan's face.
"It used to be true. After he retired, he was re-employed by the Evil Disaster Bureau. Now he is the special advisor of the Magical Girl Unit of the Evil Disaster Bureau in Xiangbei City.
But she looks like she might be a little out of the mainstream among the magical girl community... It's normal for you to have this question. "
"Then why does she dislike magical girls so much and persuade me not to participate in the selection?"
"Isn't it normal to hate one job after another? Not to mention magical girls, hairy crab tasters will not want to go to work after working for a long time."
"But magical girls are not jobs, magical girls are heroes!"
Zhao Yuhan raised her voice and said:
"Why do you and her use work as an analogy? A hero is one who doesn't care about fame and fortune at all, and works hard for justice (emotions) regardless of his/her body. Only such a person can be called a hero."
Liang De lowered his head and smoked a cigarette and said:
"Let's not talk about heroes for now. You should worry about yourself first."
