Transform into a magical girl after getting off work

In Fangting City, if one were to stop a pedestrian on the street and ask, "What is the tallest building in Fangting City?" they would often get a quite unanimous answer:

— Green Tower.

With a total height of 1005 meters and up to 197 floors, Green Tower, known as Fangting City's most famous tourist and commercial building, was constructed decades ago. At that time, Green Tower was even once touted as the "tallest building in the Donghua Region."

The initial reason for the project is now unknown, but it is known that the Fangting City Government, under the slogan "boosting tourism," had invested a huge amount of money and even cooperated with the Abnormal Strategy Bureau, using a massive amount of magical resources to finally complete this architectural marvel.

Unfortunately, this building ultimately did not change Fangting City's status as a remote small town. Rather, given the skewed geographical location of Fangting City itself, the Green Tower project eventually became an internal city self-entertainment. At the time, it even had the negative reputation of being "so tall it's pointless."

It didn't attract many outside visitors, only the local citizens went out of a crowd-following mentality, and after a few years, as the novelty faded for the locals, the Green Tower gradually became just another familiar sight in Fangting City.

Decades later, Green Tower, as a landmark of Fangting City, continued to fulfill its role, with the bottom ten floors comprised of various shops forming a commercial complex. Above that, up to the hundredth floor it primarily served as office space, with a small mix of commercial areas. As for above the hundredth floor, that was entirely designated for sightseeing and tourism, welcoming locals and visitors from around the world.

At the very top of Green Tower, there was a huge signal light installed, which at night emitted a pale green neon glow visible even from tens of kilometers away, a green light dot in the night sky.

It is worth mentioning that Fangting City's largest stadium, named "Green Tower Stadium," was named because it was located in the suburbs opposite Green Tower. During major sporting events or large-scale stage performances, the light at the top of Green Tower would perfectly shine directly above the stage. Sometimes it even changed the color of its top light to match the performance inside, becoming a popular topic amongst the citizens.

And such was the Green Tower that today it welcomed two rather peculiar guests.

On the first floor of Green Tower, there was a secluded elevator lobby located towards the north of the tower. The interior was luxuriously decorated, with sparkling crystals embedded in the high ceilings, exquisite walls adorned with water features and sculptures, and sunlight streaming through the louvered floor-to-ceiling windows, gently flowing golden light spots across the marble floor.

However, such a beautiful scene did not seem to make the two guests want to stop and appreciate. They passed the sculptures, stepped over the light spots, and hurriedly approached the unattended elevator doors.

"Wow, no one stopped us on the way, we just walked in boldly!"

Following behind Lin Yun with a brisk pace, Mu Baihe looked around and expressed in slight awe, "The decoration is so luxurious, I feel like I've become rich."

"If you wish, every Magical Girl can be a rich person in the common perception."

Lin Yun pressed the elevator button beside him with a bland expression, "If you really want to become rich, actuality, no one can stop you."

"It's easy to say that, but I can't exchange my 'echo' for money, I understand that much."

Mu Baihe stopped by a potted landscape next to the elevator and fiddled with the green leaves, "As for asking the Abnormal Strategy Bureau for money, or robbing others, that's even more impossible, if Sister Yuan Xiang found out she would beat me up."

"Have you really considered going out to rob?" Lin Yun raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

"That, of course, I haven't... right?" Mu Baihe turned around somewhat confused, "Probably not."

"... Forget it, it's not important."

Watching her clear eyes with a trace of silliness, Lin Yun sighed inwardly, giving up on pursuing the matter further and subtly changed the subject, "Let's talk about the thing we discussed earlier, are you sure the 'rumor' you mentioned can be trusted?"

"Need you even ask?"

Seeing Lin Yun bring up the matter, Mu Baihe immediately nodded vigorously, "It's a secret known to everyone in our circle, the 'Gate of Ascension' definitely exists!"

"Oh." Lin Yun responded noncommittally, "Then let's assume it's so."

"Don't brush it off!"

Seeing Lin Yun still looking disinterested, Mu Baihe immediately felt indignant, "I've told you my biggest secret, you must keep it confidential, okay? You absolutely must not tell anyone else."

"I don't think everyone will unconditionally believe what you say is true..."

"I don't care, you mustn't tell anyone else."

"Yes, yes, yes, I definitely won't tell anyone."

As he said this to placate Mu Baihe, Lin Yun's gaze turned to the nearby elevator, watching the floor indicator slowly change to 1. Then, he took out a white card from the front pocket of his shirt and placed it beside the elevator button. Shortly after, accompanied by a "beep" sound, the elevator doors slowly opened to the two of them.

This was Green Tower's internal staff elevator, also the only elevator in the entire tower that went directly to the top. Lin Yun had used his credentials as part of the Abnormal Strategy Bureau's business to obtain the access card that made this scene possible today.
