Magical girls just want to get off work

Fortunately, Qing Ning was wise enough to hold back her desire. After declining, she took the initiative to find an excuse and left Ming Yue's ward.

In other words, Qing Ning is a very smart person, and her mind is far beyond that of other people of her age.

Of course she knew what she should know and what she shouldn't know. The topic of saving the world was too high-end, and she knew very well that she couldn't handle it.

And this world is very realistic. Once you come into contact with some things, you can never get rid of them, and it's too late to regret them.

Qing Ning knows that she does not hold a high position like her cousin and has the support of big men behind her, nor does she have the top fighting ability like Senior Cang Yan. Others have to think twice before touching her. If an irreversible accident occurs, Qing Ning believes in herself. It will definitely evaporate.

In fact, many magical girls are very stubborn and don't know how to adapt. People like Qing Ning who are good at disguising themselves are too rare.

At the same time, Cang Yan is also worried that Qing Ning will go astray and go to the other extreme.

"Little Qing Ning, you should be down to earth, your talent is more than that. Don't be disappointed, you just can't participate in such events in the non-human realm."

Seeing Qing Ning's disappearing figure, Cang Yan really wanted to praise her face to face, shook her head, pushed the door open, and didn't expect Zuo Yue to have woken up at this time.

Zuo Yue, who was sitting on the hospital bed, saw Cang Yan arriving and soon showed a happy expression. She was saying: "She is very cold on the surface, but secretly she is very appreciative and can't help but praise her. Senior Cang Yan, isn't that so-called …”

Zuo Yue tilted her little head, thinking, and said a word she had seen on the Internet in the past.

"The so-called tsundere."

"You should stop surfing the Internet and watch those weird short videos on weekdays."

Seeing that her sister was fine, Cang Yan accidentally used the same tone as Zuo Cang's identity.

"Hehe, Senior Cang Yan, the way you spoke just now was like my brother."

Zuo Yue didn't have much doubt and still smiled stupidly.

"Like your brother?"

Cang Yan really wanted to say something, it's not the same, I am your brother.

However, Cang Yan also understood that if her identity was exposed, she would have to explain to her why she could transform, and this would involve an incident that Cang Yan didn't want to recall the most. She didn't want her sister to know about her parents so early. , Cang Yan thought, at least let Zuo Yue come into contact with these things when he becomes an adult.

"Yes, he is nagging like my brother."

As soon as he said this, Zuo Yue knew that he might have said the wrong thing and quickly made up for himself.

"No, I didn't mean that, I wanted to say..."

But Cang Yan didn't take it seriously at all. He waved his hands and sat beside the hospital bed.

"What kind of person is your brother?"

There are some things that can really only be asked using another identity, and there are some things that can really only be done using Cang Yan's identity.

In fact, Cang Yan really wanted to know who he was in the eyes of his sister.

"My brother..."

Zuo Yue thought seriously.

"Very stubborn, very long-winded, very busy..."

The cute girl opened her fingers and pointed out Zuo Cang's shortcomings, and finally a smile as bright as the summer sun appeared on her face.

"Most importantly, you love me."

This answer surprised Cang Yan. He originally thought that his sister kept distance from him because she was in the rebellious stage and began to hate her relatives.

Unexpectedly, Zuo Yue could say such words to a stranger.

"Actually, I know everything about why my brother is so busy on weekdays and why he doesn't have time to accompany me. Although being alone at home is boring and scary, as long as I think about my brother coming back from get off work soon, everything will be over. You can stop being afraid. But, more or less..."

As Zuo Yue spoke, he raised his right hand and made a small gesture with his index finger and thumb.

"Still, there is some loneliness... very few..."

"All in all, my brother is a very good person. He can be said to be the best brother in the world!"

In front of Cang Yan, Zuo Yue was full of praise. She used the little ink in her stomach to try her best to explain to Cang Yan what her brother's excellence was.

For a moment, the emotions in Cang Yan's heart rolled over and over again. She sat aside, turned around, and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

The emotion is indescribable, just like an old farmer who has worked hard for many years and finally waited for the crops to mature, and the long drought ushered in the dew.

"What's wrong? Senior Cang Yan, am I talking too boringly? Then I'll replace you with someone else."

Zuo Yue noticed the change in Cang Yan's expression. She was disappointed and anxious. She wanted to find someone else to talk to, but suddenly she found that she didn't seem to know many people. Apart from the classmates she met normally when going to and from school, her only family members were His own brother.

"Then let's talk about the fat guy in our class. Do you know how..."

Zuo Yue glanced at the time, and it was already past four in the afternoon.

She suddenly reacted and said to Cang Yan: "I'm sorry, senior Cang Yan, I need to call my brother. I haven't contacted my brother for a long time. I'm afraid that he is worried about me. I should tell him that he is safe." .”

Zuo Yue picked up her cell phone and made a call. The beeping sound of no answer came, which made her a little curious.

"No, he may be busy with other things, so it's inconvenient for you to call."

Cang Yan reached out and touched Zuo Yue's little head and talked about serious matters.

"Now, I'm looking for you for something important."

"Is...is that so?"

Now that Senior Cang Yan said this, Zuo Yue quickly sat up from the hospital bed. Although the pain in his body was still there, it was not as unbearable as before.

"Are you feeling better?"

"Well, much better. It seems that the pain has weakened a lot recently. Is there any problem?"

However, Cang Yan suddenly asked about a seemingly unrelated matter.

"Do you know what the human body is made of?"

"Huh? Asking this question?"

Zuo Yue moved her brain and repeatedly recalled the knowledge from the biology class in the first grade of junior high school.

For example, water accounts for 70% of the human body, as well as various proteins, blood, inorganic substances, bones, and so on.

Cang Yan nodded and replied.

"Very good, this is a human being in our conventional understanding, a flesh and blood body in the usual sense. So do you know what the familiar, Miyou, is made of?"

Facing another question from Cang Yan, Zuo Yue was completely confused. She shook her head and couldn't give an exact answer.

"Maybe it's magic?"

"Yes, but not entirely."

Cang Yan explained to Zuo Yue the basic structure of familiars. In normal form, familiars are invisible because they are a kind of pure spiritual energy life form. The specific composition is very complex. The familiars can only be like shadows, attached to matter. under the world.

"This world is composed of various materials, and the main means for people to perceive the existence of the world and explore the reality of the world is physics. Although you can't see quantum, neutrons, protons, electrons, plasma, etc., you have never known them. The microscopic world still cannot escape the constraints of the material level. People can use the rules summarized by scientists or sages to accept and recognize their existence. However, this world is not only the material world, but also a spiritual world that exists in illusion. , people call it the Kingdom of Shadows.”

Zuo Yue, a first-year junior high school student, was completely confused by the various names. Now he only knows what a Jue Jue Zi is.

He could only nod his head with a confused look on his face.

Cang Yan continued: "You can use data to measure things on the material level, but how should we define spiritual things? How can we observe people's emotions with the naked eye? Courage, tenacity, justice, greed, arrogance, humility Wait, how can we present too many positive or negative emotions in a digital way? People can use huge machines to collide microscopic quanta, but how can we use human [courage] to collide? How about capturing it? This is unbelievable and completely unreasonable."

"The idealistic world and the materialistic world are originally parallel and never intersect. Each world has its own meaning of existence and its own rules of operation. Just like now, the familiars of the Kingdom of Shadows cannot be recognized by ordinary people even if they come to the real world. Capture, only a very small number of existences can perceive them. Because, as a certain kind of energy, they are the shadow of the material world. If you want to carry out active activities in reality, you must follow the rules of the real world and be bound to matter. , to materialize itself. The method used by the familiar is to sign a contract with the magical girl and coexist with the magical girl. The method used by the cursed beast is to swallow malice and flesh and blood, occupy the human body, and combine the elements that make up the human body. Materials are reorganized so that they can actively walk in reality.”

"Oh oh oh oh."

Zuo Yue knew little about these things. She had always been curious about why others couldn't see Miyou. After the explanation, she probably had an understanding.

She keenly captured another thing Cang Yan said.

"Wait? Could it be that the cursed beast actually comes from the Kingdom of Shadows?"

However, Cang Yan completely ignored this problem and explained other content on his own.

"Then, if humans want to go to the Kingdom of Shadows, they also need to abide by the rules of the spiritual world. They must abandon their existence on the material level and transform themselves into pure energy life forms like cursed beasts or familiars. This kind of body also It's called..."

Cang Yan took a deep breath and said slowly: "The etheric body."

At this time, Zuo Yue seemed to understand which paragraph this was.

When Senior Cang Yan taught him how to use the Hand of Purification to capture the seed-stage cursed beasts, he told him something similar about magic and ether.

"My exclusive skill, Flame Strike, uses this feature."

Speaking of this, Cang Yan demonstrated on the spot what etherification was.

The magic weapon Rising Sun Spear absorbed Cang Yan's body and reappeared in another room.

"After the magical girl's body becomes etheric, it will no longer exist in the material world, so it can be dispersed and reorganized. However, if I want to continue to act in the real world, then I must re-attach to the body on the material level. , even if it is just a body simulated using magic power. Of course, this simulation must comply with the most basic physical rules, with complete internal organs and meridians. At the very least, it must be injured, bleed, and hungry. Otherwise, the rules of the physical world exclude aliens I’m not kidding you.”

"So, my body has also started to become ethereal?"

Zuo Yue lowered her head and glanced at her body. She seemed to understand why the pain in her body disappeared so quickly. It turned out that she would soon turn into pure energy and dissipate.

"You understand quickly. This is your current situation. In other words, it is a situation that most magical girls will face. After all, have you ever thought about why another body appears after transformation? Because the body after transformation In fact, it is the product of the fusion of the materialistic world and the idealistic world. It has flesh and blood, and it also has magic power, but it is ultimately moving towards a more idealistic aspect. Of course, as long as you cancel the transformation, you will become you again in the physical sense."

Cang Yan smiled and shook his head: "However, many people's transformation time is too short, and the total amount of magic power is not much. It is impossible for the etheric transformation to appear on the whole body, so they actually don't know that every time they transform, their The body becomes more evolved.”

A slip of the tongue caused Cang Yan to quickly change his words.

"We... no, you are different. The blood passed down in your body is destined to make you fall to the Kingdom of Shadows. As long as you transform into a magical girl, etherification is inevitable. When you master etherification and matter like me, After the transformation, you can freely enter and exit the Kingdom of Shadows like a familiar. This is not difficult."

"After completing the etherification, it will be wonderful. It will make you no longer human. It is difficult to be injured. No matter how serious the injury is, it cannot completely kill us. Even if the body is dead in the physical sense, you can still use magic power. Make up something similar. Of course, this is only when you become a magical girl. Without the assistance of magic devices and contracts, the human body is bound by the laws of physics. If it cannot complete the etherification, it will not be able to transcend the rules at all. .”

This is what magical girls and cursed beasts have in common.

The information brought by Senior Cang Yan was so exciting that it was beyond Zuo Yue's little mind. She seemed to understand why Senior Cang Yan didn't want Senior Qing Ning to know these things.

After saying that, Cang Yan's face darkened, and she revealed the true purpose of her trip.

"I can teach you how to etherify correctly so that you don't go down the wrong path and put yourself in danger. Then..."

Cang Yan's expression when she looked at her sister became extremely deep and painful. If possible, she wanted Zuo Yue to live out her life in peace instead of being pushed into a pit of fire by her own hands.

"Are you ready to abandon your human identity? Once you complete the etherification, you will no longer be a human and can only become a magical girl for life. The contract can never be broken."

Suddenly, Cang Yan changed it to a more unpleasant and naked term.

"No, I can only become a lifelong monster."

Like, me.

Cang Yan gave another choice, a path she hoped her sister would choose.

"Now, if you cancel the contract and give up your identity as a magical girl, you can still avoid the ethereal ending."
