Off Work, Then Transform into a Magical Girl-Chapter 70 – Fleeing separately

So, he could only hide alone.

In terms of proficiency in using spell formulas, although he could be considered just getting started, he was still far from being skilled. He couldn't even be called a "magic user." He only knew a pitifully small number of spell formulas and their strength. Challenging the entire enemy team alone, he probably wouldn't even know how he died.

Fortunately, he still had enough magic power left. Continuing to use spell formulas to conceal his breath and magic power fluctuations was not a problem. He didn't need to worry about being discovered in the short term.

He had already made up his mind to stay put and wait for the Bureau of Special Tactics to come to the rescue. During this time, he would be a coward.

But after hiding in the storage room for a while, the sounds coming from the corridor caught his attention.

It seemed that someone was passing by here. He made this judgment and secretly opened the door a crack to peek outside.

Immediately, he saw a somewhat familiar figure.

...

...

Bai Jingxuan was unable to return to her room as usual.

Because just as she quickened her pace, trying to return to her room, she saw several black-robed figures wearing masks.

Although she didn't know what these people were here for, from the silence in the welfare institute and the hostile posture of these people, Bai Jingxuan could feel that she shouldn't expose herself to their sight.

So she hid.

Continuing to walk in the corridor was undoubtedly dangerous, and returning to her room couldn't guarantee that these people wouldn't come knocking on her door. So Bai Jingxuan could only turn around and run in the direction she came from.

According to her thinking, she hadn't encountered these unexpected guests on her way here, so the courtyard should still be safe.

But this hope was destined to be in vain.

Because before she could even walk out of the porch of the recuperation building, she heard voices coming from ahead:

"Still haven't found her?"

"We've searched every possible hiding place in this open space, but found nothing."

"Damn it, where could a little girl hide? Could it be that the location was marked wrong?"

"Impossible, the information provided by the informant has always been accurate. After the incident at the Twilight People's Hospital, the whereabouts of all the witnesses were recorded, and that child was undoubtedly sent here."

"Not adopted?"

"There was no information before, we're currently verifying with the people here."

"Then where could she be? Could someone have hidden her?"

"We can't rule out that possibility. In any case, let's report the results here to Soldier Three, and he will decide whether to search each room one by one."

After this conversation, they fell silent. Before long, the sound of noisy footsteps started and gradually approached the direction where Bai Jingxuan was.

Bai Jingxuan found it difficult to understand the content of their conversation, but she could only infer from the fragments of "Twilight People's Hospital" and "little girl" that they seemed to be talking about her.Because, three years ago, the place where she and her parents met their tragic end was at the Sunset People's Heart Hospital. After that, she was the only orphan who was sent to this welfare home from the scene.

Realizing that she might be the target, Bai Jingxuan had many speculations in her mind, but she quickly shook her head, realizing that now was not the time for wild guesses, she had to find another way to leave.

These people's intentions were clearly not good, it was probably not a good thing that they were looking for her, it would be better to hide.

Bai Jingxuan was a child with strong initiative, she would act as soon as she thought of something. Immediately, she slowly retreated along the wall, took light steps, and turned to leave. She had to escape while the others had not yet entered this corridor, and she was not yet exposed to their sight.

There were stairs on both ends of the corridor, which could be used to go up to the second floor. Although she didn't know how many of them were on the second floor, it seemed to be her only escape route.

Bai Jingxuan quietly walked up the stairs, but before she had climbed a few steps, she heard the sound of footsteps at the entrance of the corridor change. That sound was obviously from stepping on the floor tiles inside the building from the cement ground outside.

Those people were coming.

Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer behind her, feeling her heartbeat getting faster and faster, Bai Jingxuan pursed her lips, subconsciously held her breath, and moved upstairs at the fastest speed in this state.

Because the width of the stair steps was very long, so, if she wanted to completely avoid their sight, she had to reach the second floor before they reached the entrance of the stairs.

The two groups of people in the corridor were moving forward with completely different mindsets. Seeing the target getting closer and closer to herself, the corner of the second floor was already in sight, Bai Jingxuan seemed to have already seen the scene of her successful escape.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt her calf lose sensation, and then, lost control.

Her legs could no longer exert force, nor could they cross the steps, like a malfunctioning mechanical part, no longer possessing vitality. Then, unable to stop her forward momentum, Bai Jingxuan fell forward onto the stairs.

Thump.

The sound of clothing and body colliding with the stairs abruptly echoed in the corridor.
