Off Work, Then Transform into a Magical Girl-Chapter 84 – Anger
Once these words were spoken, Wang Tengfei's mind also came up with many possibilities.
Was the person named "Lin Yun" from the beginning just a disguise of the magical girl Cui Que? Or was Lin Yun also a transcendent with extraordinary powers, and he entrusted Cui Que to disguise herself as him? Or perhaps he knew about Lin Yun's widowhood two years ago. In other words, during that time, the most discussed gossip in the company was whether the female subordinate in the after-sales department, who had always had thoughts about Lin Yun, could take advantage of the situation to climb up the ladder.
However, the truth was that even after that female subordinate climbed up to a higher position and was transferred to the headquarters, there was no progress in her relationship with Lin Yun.
In the past, everyone thought it was because Lin Yun was immersed in grief and couldn't move on from the loss of his spouse. Now, thinking back on this matter, Wang Tengfei sensed a different taste.
In addition, during company outings, Lin Yun always preferred to work quietly alone. Even when faced with social events, he always maintained his boundaries and never had any involvement with other women in service venues...
The combination of years of working together made Wang Tengfei feel that he had already figured out the truth.
"You transformed into Old Lin's appearance... Is this also magic?" he asked.
His guess was that "Lin Yun" was just a false identity used by Cui Que in the material world.
Although this guess was very bizarre, many past clues seemed to point in this direction, and it was not surprising that something related to magic would be extraordinary.
"Close enough," Cui Que replied without further explanation. She took a step back and prepared to leave.
She had already resigned from the company and was now just a familiar stranger to Wang Tengfei. There was no need to say anything more to each other. For her, the most important thing now was to hurry to the location where Mo Ke was last seen and see if her daughter and the others were really in danger.

As for the disclosure of her identity, she would inform the Bureau of Special Tactics later, and there would naturally be someone to handle it. After Wang Tengfei accepted the psychological suggestion from the Bureau of Special Tactics, he would subconsciously treat today's experience as a bizarre dream and gradually forget about it over time.
The intense headache still hadn't eased, but Cui Que knew she didn't have time to waste. She retracted the last strand of magic thread, opened her palm, and the magic wand reappeared in her hand.
"Yarrow!"
At this moment, Wang Tengfei's voice came from behind her again, "Did you resign and leave because Fangting City is facing some dangerous enemy?"
Cui Que didn't turn around but activated her magic power, preparing to take off again.
"You don't have to resign! If you don't have time, I can give you a leisurely job here!" Wang Tengfei hurriedly added.
Cui Que still didn't respond.
Seeing the figure he had been longing for but unable to reach about to leave like this, Wang Tengfei suddenly felt at a loss for words. Because he really didn't know what else he could say.
He was successful, but this success was still limited to ordinary people.
He was wealthy, but money was useless in the face of the greatness of magic.
He felt that every word he said was an insult to his former self, who was once passionate and pure. Every attempt to measure this once beautiful memory with interests would be met with a voice telling him to stop talking, to shut up.
Perhaps he really should shut up. Silence was the best choice.

When Lin Yun resigned from the company, when Cui Que appeared in this city once again, he should understand that some things had already come to an end.
No matter why the other party disappeared in the first place, and why they had been an ordinary person in this ordinary branch company for so long, when they revealed their true identity in front of him, everything from the past had already come to a close.
Perhaps, watching her leave like this while he stood guard was the most rational choice.
But he still wanted to speak, not for the present, but for his past self. If that was the case, how should he express himself now?
As he watched the figure gradually rise into the air, he seemed to understand all of a sudden.
He suddenly knew what he should say.
"Yarrow! Keep up the good work!" he suddenly shouted, his hoarse voice sounding as loud as a young boy's. "The people who supported you in the past are still living in this city. Although no one deliberately remembers, we all still remember you!"
"Although we don't know why you disappeared and why you have come out to fight again to protect something, it must be an enemy that we cannot understand!"
"But if you need any help, we will stand up to assist you, because you are our former hero!"
"So, um, so..." as he watched the figure grow farther and farther away, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Please don't disappear again!"
After shouting these words, he felt a sudden pain in his throat, followed by a fit of coughing. His weakened physique, eroded by smoking and drinking, and his declining physical strength due to age, made it difficult for him to shout and yell easily.But even if he felt uncomfortable shouting, he felt that his former self, the one who liked magical girls, seemed to have emerged from the depths of his memory like a figure floating up from the bottom of a lake, and once again became clear.
He couldn't regain the impulse of his youth, but he seemed to have found himself again.
Then, he saw the figure of the sun that had already reached its zenith, making a gesture towards him from a distance.
She waved her hand.
As if promising "no problem," the girl waved her wrist and lingered in the air for a few seconds before bursting with magic power and flying towards the other side of the sky.
Leaving Wang Tengfei looking at the shrinking figure, although he felt a bit lost, he suddenly showed a relieved smile for some reason.
"Let's finish work early this afternoon."
Above the clear sky, a blue magical power trajectory stretched across the sky. Although it did not travel with the other three colors as before, the single blue line was straight and clear, and it was upright and firm.
That was the blue color in many people's memories.
It was also the blue color of Fangting City.
...
...
"Roar!"
The huge beast claws smashed down from mid-air, tearing up the cement road and raising a cloud of dust and rocks.
In the Li Xing District, the first welfare institute of Fangting City, the battle continued.
After retreating from the position attacked by the brutal beast, Lin Xiaolu tightly grasped her magic wand and turned around, fiercely shooting several magic beams at the brutal beast's head. However, the light blue magic beams only left shallow scars on the brutal beast after touching it.
"Roar!"
The attacks that couldn't seriously injure the brutal beast only made it angrier. The brutal beast, resembling a tiger or leopard, stood up with its strong and massive body, and in just two steps, it crossed in front of Lin Xiaolu and once again smashed down towards her position.
"Damn it!"
Swinging her magic wand, Lin Xiaolu manipulated her magic power to dodge again. She shouted with some unwillingness, "Why is it so tough! This guy!"
"Xiao Lu, don't be impulsive, save your magic power!"
Xia Liang reminded seriously from the side. Several clones appeared beside her, intercepting the black magic power occasionally emitted by the brutal beast and making it disappear into thin air. "This guy's defense is abnormal, much stronger than an ordinary caterpillar!"
If the brutal beast, or rather the man in the black robe, still had complete sanity and could speak, he would definitely mock them. Because the three magical girls present, not to mention the completely inexperienced Bai Jingxuan, the other two also couldn't break through its defense.
Close-range attacks only left slight dents, and long-range magic shots only grazed the surface of its skin. Even if it didn't dodge their attacks at all, it didn't suffer any substantial damage.
Based on the evolutionary characteristics of the brutal beast, its current form was probably at the caterpillar stage.
Compared to the egg stage, it had stronger magic power, and its special organs further mutated, covering most of its body. From the extremely disproportionate claws, it could be seen that the man's transformed brutal beast should be classified as a corroding claw-type evolution.
Xia Liang and Lin Xiaolu had seen caterpillar stage brutal beasts before. Although they had always been asked by Cui Que to stay away from battles above the caterpillar stage, they also knew the approximate range of their strength.
At least, Xia Liang, a genuine bud stage magical girl, should not be completely helpless against it.
Even if her magical assembly did not effectively enhance her attack power, and she had only obtained it for a few days without fully developing it, she should not be like now, only able to cause superficial injuries to the man transformed into a brutal beast.
Even if they couldn't actually hurt the man, the battle had to continue because behind them was the welfare institute, where countless innocent elderly and children were. If they lost here, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Light blue and light purple magic powers surrounded the giant beast, constantly maneuvering and evading, repeatedly striking and shooting.
On the other side, Bai Jingxuan helped Tian Sheng sit aside and, under his command, gradually lifted the magic barrier outside the welfare institute.
"Hurry up, Xiao Xuan!"
Mo Ke watched the battle in the distance and urged with some concern, "I feel like the situation over there is getting deadlocked!"
Since they came to support and started fighting the man, the momentum of Lin Xiaolu and the others had been getting weaker and weaker.
At first, they could suppress the attack frequency with their momentum, but as the brutal beast found that their attacks were not very effective, this momentum gradually declined endlessly with the prolongation of the battle rhythm.
Now, there was almost no possibility of a comeback.
Therefore, Mo Ke and the others could only hope that they could hold the brutal beast and quickly remove the barrier on their side, so that they could call Cui Que for support.
Time passed second by second, and the progress of removing the barrier continued to advance until at a certain moment, the barrier that had been hidden and not visible began to flicker with unstable ripples.
"There's hope! Cough cough..."Sitting on the side of the road, Tian Sheng shouted excitedly, but then sat back weakly due to his injuries, saying, "Only a few structural points left!"
Bai Jingxuan didn't say much, nodded obediently, and continued to work on removing the barrier.
However, unlike the steady progress on this end, there were problems in Lin Xiaolu's battle after a long time.
First, Lin Xiaolu made a mistake herself. She didn't choose the right position to avoid the brutal beast's close-range attack, so she happened to fall into the trajectory of the magic power bullet while in mid-air.
Each of the purple-black spheres, the size of a basketball, spewed out from the enemy's mouth and flew straight towards Lin Xiaolu in the air, about to hit her.
At this moment, a mirror suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking the magic power bullets.
It was Xia Liang's magical assembly, which could deflect the enemy's magic attacks. However, in this situation, she could only deflect and weaken the enemy's attacks, and didn't even have time to set up another mirror for teleportation.
Her desperate response also led to greater risks because the brutal beast reacted faster. Almost at the same time she chose to protect Lin Xiaolu with the magical assembly, it lunged forward and struck Xia Liang with its claws.
As a magical girl at the bud stage, Xia Liang couldn't master the spell formula, so she couldn't deploy a barrier when in close proximity. Instead, she took the full force of the attack.
"Xia Liang!"
Lin Xiaolu shouted in shock and anger.
Her shout was useless and couldn't stop the brutal beast's advance. She could only watch Xia Liang, who had been hit, fly out like a sandbag and crash heavily into the nearby wall.
The brutal beast looked at Lin Xiaolu.
After eliminating the biggest threat between the two, even though its intelligence was almost gone compared to when it was in a human state, it knew it was time to end the battle.
The green pipes wrapped around its body suddenly began to pulsate, and streams of purple-black magic power flowed out from its heart, pumping into various parts of its body, causing its already exaggerated physique to bulge with grotesque blood vessels.
Then, facing the last remaining magical girl here, it kicked its legs.
Lin Xiaolu in the distance suddenly felt her vision blur, and where her gaze fell, the enemy had disappeared.
The strong sense of déjà vu made her instinctively hold her breath.
It's happening again.
She couldn't help but think.
Just like that night in the wetland park, she fell into a trap that had been prepared in advance and encountered the brutal beast's hunting within the barrier.
At that time, she had no power to resist and was defeated by the caterpillar in just a few moves, almost having her head chopped off. If it weren't for Cui Que suddenly appearing and blocking that attack for her, she would have died by now.
Since that moment, she had developed a deep admiration and respect for Cui Que.
But this time, even Cui Que herself had been attacked by the enemy, and she couldn't rely on others to save her anymore.
Will she die here? Just like her mother, sacrificing herself in battle?
She suddenly remembered the question she had asked Cui Que a few days ago.
At that time, Cui Que told her not to think too much if she couldn't figure it out. She was still just a child, and she would protect herself and give herself enough time to make decisions.
The feeling of being protected was really good, reassuring, warm, and happy. She even wished she could always be a child, hiding in that gentle harbor.
But now it's different.
Although she was in danger, she didn't feel any fear at all. What did she feel? Was it fear? Regret? Or unwillingness?
Perhaps it was all of them, but more importantly, she felt anger.
Anger towards the enemy in front of her.
Not only did they attack places like the orphanage, not only did they almost kill the new magical girl of Fangting City, but also because of the man's words, they insulted and trampled upon the term "magical girl."
They claimed to be noble and righteous, but in reality, they were setting traps to kill ignorant girls. Their existence was an insult to the dream of being a magical girl.
From the magical girls she saw in animated TV shows when she was young to her friends, her seniors, and maybe now a junior, the faces of these magical girls all appeared in her mind.
Magical girls should be shining and beautiful, and she still believed in that.
Therefore, she felt a strong anger towards the man's actions of "hunting" and "surrounding" magical girls. Her cherished and treasured image of magical girls was easily trampled upon by the man in front of her. She couldn't even imagine the despair and helplessness of those girls who had just become magical girls, still pure in heart and full of future aspirations, being killed.
And the more unimaginable it was, the more intense and fierce the anger became, until it was about to burst out of her chest.
At the same time, this anger was also directed at herself, directed at that deep sense of powerlessness.
Because, even with such anger, she couldn't do anything.
She was just a low-level magical girl, unable to even harm the enemy, as if being played with, and she might even die here.
It's really embarrassing.
She sneered in her heart.
She thought more than anyone else, but at the critical moment, she was more useless than anyone else. Cui Que was fighting the enemy; Xia Liang was protecting herself; even the newcomer was trying to release the hostages by removing the barrier. Only she, who was clearly on the battlefield, was like a bystander.
Closing her eyes like this, she could even see Cui Que looking at her with disappointed eyes.
Indeed, she thought. If she really died here, it would probably only make Cui Que feel even more disappointed, right?
But for some reason, she couldn't help but think of the night a few days ago.
She would think of the words Cui Que said to her by the river that day, she would think of Cui Que holding her hand, she would think of Cui Que saying "I'm here."
In a daze, she felt as if her hand was really being held by someone, as if it was really Cui Que here, once again wrapping her hand with both hands, with a kind of cold but reassuring touch.
"Believe in your own possibilities."
Then, Cui Que's voice sounded in her ear.
This sentence made Lin Xiaolu suddenly open her eyes.
She began to feel that something was different: the touch in her hand gradually became real, became strong, and became something she could no longer ignore.
Looking at her own hand, all she saw was a silver-white color.
It was magic power, but it wasn't the familiar light blue, it was silver-white magic power.
In her hand, she saw that the white magic power was burning like flames, flickering, and following closely behind was the power that filled her whole body.
In the eyes of the brutal beast, the magical girl who had just been dumbfounded, as if waiting to die, suddenly burst out with incredibly powerful magic power.
Like a wave, it began to spread out in all directions. The white magic power illuminated everything on the girl, her eyes, the gem on her chest, her hair, even the nails on her fingers, all shimmered with a strong white light.
The intense white light was like a dazzling sun, making the brutal beast in the dark feel that all of its magic power was retreating into its body, as if it was about to be dispelled, losing its rightful power.
Rising from the burning white magic power, the girl raised her head, her once bright eyes now becoming blazing white, like a hawk, she quickly locked onto the moving brutal beast.
A beam of flame-like magic power was ignited from the tip of her magic wand, directly hitting the spot where the brutal beast was about to land, the dangerous aura within it forced it to stop its footsteps and avoid the attack.
It was precisely this pause that exposed its figure once again in Lin Xiaolu's line of sight.
"It's really disgusting, it's about time to stop."
Looking at the appearing brutal beast, Lin Xiaolu frowned, raised her chin high, and opened her mouth. The magic power around her body also fluctuated violently:
"Now, I am really... uncontrollably angry!"
