Transform into a magical girl after getting off work

—— Boom!

In the dead of night, a violent explosion erupted from the city center, the thunderous boom awoke Lin Xiaolu from her sleep.

"...What's going on?"

Groggy, she climbed out of bed, looked out the window of her room toward the distance, and as her vision of the outside world came into focus, she first experienced a brief moment of confusion before her eyes widened in realization.

"Wake up, Xia Liang! Bai Jingxuan!"

Turning around, Lin Xiaolu woke up the other two girls who were still deep in sleep, pointing outside the window she yelled, "Something's not right, there's some strange noise!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The two, who had been immersed in the land of dreams, had no choice but to crawl out of their bedding, rubbing their eyes, and joined her by the window, subsequently rendered speechless.

—— A gigantic purple-black pillar of light rose from the city center, shooting straight into the sky, piercing through the clouds. Even the surrounding drifting clouds were dyed purple, swirling around the column, glittering with ominous light.

The sleep-addled Bai Jingxuan took two steps forward, trying to get a little closer to the window to get a better look, but as soon as she approached, she saw a large moth crash into the window with a "snap."

"Ugh!"

Startled by the noise, she stumbled backward, the sleepiness in her head instantly dissipated by the fright.

"Really, something like this gets in the way at a time like this!"

Seeing Bai Jingxuan startled by the sudden appearance of the moth, Lin Xiaolu slapped the window in frustration to chase it away, then went to the wardrobe and opened the door: "Hurry up and get dressed! Even though I don't know what's going on, we need to get out!"

"Can't we just transform and go out?" Xia Liang yawned and asked, "It feels so troublesome to change clothes at a time like this."

"Shouldn't shoes be enough?" Bai Jingxuan suggested instead.

"You two..."

Lin Xiaolu cast a glance at them, hands on her hips, starting to speak with a tinge of irritation, but before she could finish, she felt the purple light from behind intensify.

It left her unfinished words stuck in her throat.

"It's Remnant Beasts!"

The just roused Fairy also joined them, pointing outside the window and shouting, "Xiaolu! I can sense the aura of Remnant Beasts! And it's powerful, more powerful than any we've seen before! This one is definitely a big one!"

Unfortunately, nobody paid attention to its words. Even Bai Jingxuan, who had the best relationship with Fairy, only symbolically agreed a bit.

After all, the scene outside the window was too conspicuous. Even a fool, upon seeing the current situation, would know that the purple column shooting straight into the sky was definitely not normal.

Lin Xiaolu realized that if she insisted on changing into a full set of casual clothes before going out, she might be too late when she arrived at the scene. Reluctantly, she changed her plan, grabbed a coat from the wardrobe, draped it over herself, and headed to the front door: "Forget it, let's just hurry."

Knowing the urgency, the other two followed her out of the room. The three girls and the Fairy hurried out of the room door, not even having time to switch on the light, and dashed towards the house door together.

Lin Xiaolu wanted to remind them to keep their voices down, not to wake her father, but seeing that they had already run to the hallway, she decided not to say anything and instead stood in the corridor, feeling a bit guilty as she glanced toward her father's bedroom door.

Not to look would have been better, for when she did, what she saw was an ajar door.

The door is open?

This made Lin Xiaolu pause for a moment.

"What are you still standing there for?"

Before she had time to ponder, Xia Liang, not far away, whispered: "We don't have time to waste, let's go!"

"Yeah... right."

Lin Xiaolu could only suppress the suspicion that had flared up in her heart, and followed the others to the front entrance. Enjoy exclusive chapters from empire

She didn't have time to confirm whether the door was open, nor did she know if her father was in the room.

Perhaps he forgot to close the door when he went to sleep?

She reasoned with herself, then joined her companions as they stepped out of the house.

——

"Senior."

The title uttered by the person behind Emerald Sparrow undoubtedly confirmed her identity: She was Hong Siyu.

But upon hearing this title, Emerald Sparrow felt a heaviness in her heart.

She just stood there rigidly for a moment, her gaze fixed on the ground, before finally struggling to contain her thoughts. She turned her head slightly, intending to look back.

—— "Don't look back yet, Senior."

However, Hong Siyu stopped Emerald Sparrow's movement.

Her voice was calm and clear at the moment, seemingly without trouble: "Just listen and talk to me. That's enough."

"...I hate people who are all secretive and evasive."

Without directly responding to the request, Emerald Sparrow looked down at her shadow on the ground and suddenly sighed, "Why didn't you tell me directly? Why play this disappearing act and not answer any phone calls? When did the Abnormal Strategy Bureau become like this?"

"Hmm... who knows? I've forgotten too," Hong Siyu responded in a frivolous voice: "And you talk about being secretive; weren't you the least honest one? How much did you hide about what happened back then? I've always been kept in the dark."

"If you're willing, I can tell you after this is over," Emerald Sparrow kept her head down, her voice somber, "So tell me, do you have any way? A way to turn these people back?"

"I don't know, but I guess there isn't one,"
