Transform into a magical girl after getting off work

"——Wait, did you just mention...Lakeside Spring?"

...

...

"Give up, you're no match for us."

Pressing his hand against the head of the Abnormal Strategy Bureau employee in front of him, Soldier Bee Seven withdrew his finger from the staffer's neck, flicking away the blood at his fingertip: "Our time is extremely precious. Surrender now, and I can grant each of you a swift death."

In front of him was the completely routed Special Operations Squad Three.

Li Yingwei, the team leader, had been impaled through the chest by an unknown sharp weapon and was lying on the ground, his life hanging by a thread; Tian Sheng, who was also a main combatant, was held in the claws of a giant Remnant Beast, his head drooping without a sound; only the deputy leader Mu Bensheng stood back to back with several team members, clenching their teeth while staring down the encircling enemies.

——The disparity in combat strength between the two sides was simply too great.

This Black Ash Dawn Troop, which had emerged from nowhere, included one Pupa stage beast-transformer and four Inchworm stage beast-transformers. Any of them alone could take on the entire Squad Three, not to mention when grouped together.

The moment Squad Three stepped into Lakeside Spring, they had already entered the enemy's ambush. In just ten minutes, they suffered grievous casualties. If it weren't for the presence of a Magical Girl within the team by chance, they probably would have been completely wiped out by now.

Ironically, just before this, they were still worrying about how to get the Magical Girl to leave, to stop following them.

Bai Jingxuan had made a phone call with Lin Yun, negotiating stubbornly and with somewhat softened demands to obtain permission to follow Squad Three. Little did she imagine that this permission would become Squad Three's lifesaver.

It was because of her that the squad could hold out for so long against this group of beast-transformers.

Bai Jingxuan's magic equipment, "Heavenly Sound," continually revitalized and healed the squad members with magic power, allowing three members equipped with magic armaments to jointly fend off the attacks of the Inchworm stage Remnant Beasts. Plus, Bai Jingxuan herself single-handedly held off three of the beast-transformers, barely keeping the situation from collapsing too quickly.

However, when the man known as "Soldier Bee Seven" took action, the support of Squad Three seemed like a joke.

The strength of a Pupa stage Remnant Beast was akin to a disaster for slightly smaller cities. Even for a Magical Girl, only those at the Leaf stage or above, elite ones, or by employing a tactic of overwhelming numbers, would there be a chance to confront one head-on.

Even though Soldier Bee Seven did not use the Beast's Innards, merely employing some magic power and spell techniques, it was far beyond what Squad Three could withstand.

Defeat, then, was only natural.

Easily killing all the Abnormal Strategy Bureau members within his reach, Soldier Bee Seven's dark expression did not change at all, and his words of persuasion to surrender were uttered casually. He then turned his gaze to Bai Jingxuan.

The girl in the green dress was half-kneeling on the ground, clutching her chest, struggling to breathe.

She had stepped forward to save the employees of the Abnormal Strategy Bureau but was easily knocked down by Soldier Bee Seven; now she even found it difficult to stand up.

"I don't plan to kill you, Magical Girl, to be exact, our purpose here is you," Soldier Bee Seven stated: "Behave, and surrender, and we might even consider not harming you."

"Cough... cough... Why?" Bai Jingxuan gasped for air, her pained expression mingled with confusion, "You, why are you looking for me?"

"Sorry, I might not have the time to explain this to you."

Although Soldier Bee Seven uttered apologetic words, there was not a trace of regret in his expression: "But you can consider, you're very important to us, or rather, you're very important to our leader."

"Magical Girls… and Remnant Beasts are enemies."

Bai Jingxuan pushed herself up, and music from the Music Box began to heal her own body continuously: "I don't care how you see me, I'm going to kill you all."

"'Kill you all'... huh," Soldier Bee Seven's impassive eyes flickered slightly: "You're indeed the beast-child picked by the leader, quite impressive resolve, nothing like those hypocritical Magical Girls."

"But still, it's not enough."

He shook his head slightly, raised his hand, and a beam of magic power shot directly at Mu Bensheng not far away.

Mu Bensheng, who was still fiercely fighting other beast-transformers, had no time to dodge. Seeing the dark purple spell technique hurtling towards him, he closed his eyes in despair.

Zzzzt.

The beam did not hit him.

Because before the beam hit Mu Bensheng, it was first blocked by Bai Jingxuan with her own body.

Her originally fair arm became a mangled mess under the erosion of the dark purple magic power, looking incredibly horrifying, yet Bai Jingxuan, as if she felt no pain, still stared intently at Soldier Bee Seven.

"You've always been saying to me, 'kill you guys'."

Soldier Bee Seven had a puzzled look on his face, "But, your actions are completely different from what you've said."

"You say you want to kill people, but until now you haven't been able to kill a single person; on the contrary, for these insignificant mortals, you've nearly killed yourself in your attempts to protect them, why?"

He pointed to Tian Sheng, who was held in the grasp of another Remnant Beast not far away, and to Li Yingwei, who was lying on the ground, "You've even used most of the Magic Suit's power to strengthen those two men, are you still trying to save them now?"

"Because... I am a Magical Girl."

Bai Jingxuan reached out to the Music Box next to her, and the melodious music continued to cleanse the surroundings, "A Magical Girl is supposed to save others."

"Such naïve attitudes will only prevent you from being able to kill anyone."

Soldier Bee Seven shook his head indifferently, raised his hand, and his sharp fingernails gathered magic power, "After sheltering too many burdens under your wings, you will not be able to spread your wings and soar."

Boom!

Green and dark purple magic powers intertwined in the air, the figure of Soldier Bee Seven briefly overlapping with Bai Jingxuan, and after the intense impact of magic power, Bai Jingxuan was once again sent flying back heavily.

Soldier Bee Seven kicked her squarely in the chest, smashing her heavily against a nearby protective wall.

"I'll say it again, surrender, and don't waste any more time."

He shook his foot and stepped forward, grabbed Bai Jingxuan by her hair, and dragged the girl down from the wall, "Withdraw your magic power, or would you prefer I break your limbs before I take you? Can your healing power restore limbs?"

"I... will kill you..."

The girl glared and gritted her teeth, desperately reaching out to grab Soldier Bee Seven, but she couldn't reach the face before her.

"What a contradiction."

Soldier Bee Seven looked at her coldly, "It's like a split personality, one moment human, the next a beast; one moment rational, the next all instinct."

"Tell me, Magical Girl, what are you hating?"

His question remained unanswered. Bai Jingxuan still kept reaching out to him, trying to grab his neck.

Leaning his head back slightly, Soldier Bee Seven said to her, "Is your hatred because of those two researchers?"

"What... researchers..."

Bai Jingxuan gasped and growled, "My dad, my mom, were both killed by Remnant Beasts, by all of you..."

"Dad? Mom? What are those?"

Her words, however, were cut off by Soldier Bee Seven, "You don't have such things."

"I do!" Seemingly further enraged by Soldier Bee Seven's words, Bai Jingxuan struggled furiously, "I do! Clearly, it was all of you who killed them!"

"No, you don't."

Soldier Bee Seven looked at her impassively, his eyes revealing a trace of pity, "Because you are merely a beast child created from an abandoned baby, born from our experiments."

"You're talking nonsense!"

Bai Jingxuan shouted angrily, "I won't allow you to talk about my mom and dad like that! I'm going to kill you!" Experience tales at empire

"Don't make me repeat myself, Magical Girl. No, Beast Child, you have no parents."

Soldier Bee Seven pressed his other hand against her head, staring into her eyes, and said word by word, his gaze meeting the girl's astonished look:

——"What you consider your 'parents' are nothing more than traitors of Black Ash Dawn. They are just a pair of researchers who took you out of the organization."
