Transform into a magical girl after getting off work

Even if he was in a different place, as a Magical Girl, he couldn't ignore a crisis. He definitely had to check the situation on site, so he quickly decided to get off the bus and walk.

Ignoring the driver's idle chatter, "Bro, what are you scared of?", he paid the fare, picked up his bag, pushed open the door, and ran towards the direction of the roaring sound along the sidewalk.

After running forward for several hundred meters, he finally collided head-on with the crowd of people moving in the opposite direction.

"Don't go any further, turn back and run, there are Remnant Beasts!"

The young man running at the front shouted at him, then tried to drag Lin Yun away with him.

"Abnormal Strategy Bureau."

Lin Yun didn't move, he just calmly spoke three words to the young man. The young man seemed to understand something, opened his mouth in realization, let go of his hand, and continued to run for his life.

Going against the crowd to arrive at the scene, Lin Yun finally saw the sight on the distant street: A huge Remnant Beast was rampaging on the road, attempting to snatch people out of their cars.

Several pedestrians were already injured by it, lying on the side of the road clutching their bodies and moaning, the scene was one of unmitigated gloom.

Lin Yun stared at the scene for two seconds, then immediately turned around and, with his bag, dashed into a convenience store nearby.

At this moment, the convenience store was deserted; whether it was the clerks or the customers, everyone had chosen to flee due to the Remnant Beast's attack. He locked his travel bag in the storage room and glanced at the camera in the corner with a frown, having no choice but to climb out again through the window.

He had to find a secluded place to transform.

From the convenience store, he climbed into the back alley of the street. At that moment, the alley was deserted. The dark and cramped space provided just enough cover to block any onlookers, so even if someone looked out from a window, they wouldn't see Lin Yun's figure.

Once again confirming there was no one around him, he pulled out the Heart's Gem from the inner pocket of his coat and placed it at his chest—

—Then, he stopped his movements.

Because almost simultaneously, he felt several intense pulses of magic power sweep over his head at high speed. One of those moved a short distance before stopping and then doubling back, returning to right above him.

"Uncle, what are you doing here?"

A crisp female voice came from above the alley.

Lin Yun looked up and saw a girl wearing a layered princess dress radiating soft yellow light and floating in mid-air, looking down at him with a puzzled expression.

The fluctuations of magic power from her body unmistakably revealed her identity—she was a Magical Girl.

Lin Yun didn't speak. He simply put away his Heart's Gem quietly and pretended to know nothing, hurrying along the alley with quick, short strides.

"Stop, don't run!"

But before he could take another two steps, he heard the voice from above once more, and saw the Magical Girl dressed in light yellow attire landing in front of him: "I felt it just now! There was a fluctuation of magic power here!"

The girl had light golden curly hair that framed her face, her bangs parted to reveal a smooth forehead, and at that moment, she was staring at him with a pair of amber eyes, looking at Lin Yun somewhat haughtily:

"Who are you? A magician? Skulking around in such a dark place, there's a Remnant Beast causing a ruckus just across the street, what's your connection with this incident?"

Not good.

Lin Yun thought.

Although he was cautious enough to stop his transformation in time to prevent her from seeing the truth, the fluctuation of magic power was inevitable. If both were using magic power, he could sense her, and there was no reason she couldn't sense him.

However, even so, he was slightly surprised in his heart because despite having old injuries, his sensing ability as a Magical Girl was still at the Lei-level. The fact that she could sense each other's magic power at the same time suggested that her perception was also quite exceptional.

Yet, judging by the magic power she displayed, she was nowhere near the Lei-level standard.

Was she concealing her strength? Or was her sensing ability surpassing her magic power development level?

While these doubts arose in his mind, he quickly set them aside, knowing that he should not be concerned with these trivial matters at the moment.

He had attempted to transform in this deserted alley, and his fluctuation of magic power had been detected by her. If he didn't reveal his identity as a Magical Girl now, there was only one explanation left—he was a magician.

But if he admitted, he was a magician, he would face the next issue, the same as her previous questioning: what is he doing here?

You see, the direction he came from had a Remnant Beast causing trouble. It was normal for a magician to watch or flee from a Remnant Beast; however, it was indeed suspicious to skulk in a nearby alley and use magic in secret.

If Lin Yun discovered such a magician near the site of a Remnant Beast attack, he would also suspect a connection between the two immediately.

But now that he was the one under suspicion, he couldn't help feeling a bit of a headache.

Reveal his Magical Girl identity directly to her? Regardless of the difference in appearance between his true self and his Magical Girl identity, even without that, he had no reason to disclose his real identity to a stranger Magical Girl.

The real identity of a Magical Girl is a highly private and confidential matter. Often no one outside their own team knows, and he should not reveal it lightly.
