Transform into a magical girl after getting off work-Chapter 671 - 228: Perspectives

Emerald Sparrow didn't see much from those Beast Children.

After all, it was only a distant observation, and the time was not long, so the information that could be obtained was very limited. Moreover, some of those Beast Children had quite keen perception, such as the Magical Girl codenamed "Arrowroot." Even though Emerald Sparrow concealed her magical power fluctuation and deliberately blended in with the crowd, the other party still seemed to sense the fact that "someone is watching her," trying to locate the source of the gaze.

Of course, Emerald Sparrow couldn't possibly be discovered by them. Although her sharp perception was commendable, the differences in magic power, experience, and skill determined the disparity in information between the two sides.

"To be honest, although I can somewhat sense the gap between them and other kids, I think it should simply be the differences caused by their backgrounds and education..."

Recalling the information she had secretly observed, Emerald Sparrow organized her words: "Although saying this might sound too lenient, I feel that, in essence, they don't seem any different from ordinary Magical Girls."

"Hmm."

The Elf Doll shook its head: "It's quite normal."

"Normal?"

"I mean, it's normal for you to feel that way, because based solely on their appearance and behavior, our conclusions are similar."

Emerald's voice remained lazy: "However, this also confirms our previous assumptions, doesn't it?"

"Our?" Emerald Sparrow looked puzzled because she didn't remember having any conjectures with Emerald.

"That girl of yours, Bo Xue."

Emerald clarified: "Do you remember what I told you when you first brought her to me?"

"You said many things." Emerald Sparrow nodded: "But which specific one?"

"I said—she is a naturally born Beastification, and after becoming a Magical Girl, she is a natural 'Claw Mark.'

Emerald coughed twice, reciting as if reading from a book: "More pure than the White Wolf, more complete, closer to a full form, a true 'Claw Mark.'

Emerald Sparrow remembered this sentence.

Undoubtedly, the description Emerald used for Bai Jingxuan at that time could now perfectly apply to those Beast Children.

"So, just as you usually don't notice anything special about your little girl, these Beast Children are naturally the same."

Emerald concluded: "Their existence proves that Bo Xue is not an isolated case; this trait is a commonality among these Beast Children."

"Was this within your expectations?" Emerald Sparrow looked at the doll.

"Not really."

Emerald replied succinctly: "But it's not entirely surprising; seeing your little girl, I more or less guessed there might be more examples soon."

Listening to Emerald's analysis, Emerald Sparrow hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong? Is there something you can't say?" The doll tilted its head at Emerald Sparrow's reaction, looking a bit cute.

"... It's not that I can't say it."

Emerald Sparrow pursed her lips: "It's just that, thinking about Bo Xue, I can't help but speculate more about these 'Beast Children.'

"Oh, so that's what you mean."

Emerald suddenly understood: "I was wondering why your attitude was odd, still thinking about these things? Feeling sympathy? Wanting to help them?"

"Not to that extent."

Emerald Sparrow sighed: "I just can't help but wonder if there might be a child like Bo Xue among them."

"Successor."

Emerald's voice suddenly became more serious: "You shouldn't have forgotten, I told you yesterday that just trying to save that candidate named Mint already puts us at extra risk. Don't forget, their identities are our enemies first, and then 'children.' The situation we'll face next will be extremely chaotic. You don't need to, nor can you save everyone, such things aren't possible even for us who wield the Gemstone Scepter."

In fact, Emerald Sparrow had discussed this topic with Emerald yesterday.

In Emerald's view, Emerald Sparrow not only kept thinking about her old comrade in the Claw Mark but also inexplicably felt compassion for the Beast Children of Black Ash Dawn. If such cautious thinking wasn't addressed, it might bring disaster in the upcoming actions.

Emerald Sparrow also knew what Emerald was thinking.

"I know, and I've explained it to you many times; I'm not arrogant enough to think I can mediate every conflict."

Emerald Sparrow's face was calm: "Rather, the more I know, the more my dislike for Black Ash Dawn grows."

It's disgusting, almost nauseating.

This was Emerald Sparrow's feeling about the actions of Black Ash Dawn.

Emerald had said before that the Claw Mark's path of Beastification was always a mystery. Although the White Wolf was a former Gemstone Scepter, he wasn't inclined to technical development, so the fact that he could create a complete system in beastification, combat, and ability development within just over a decade of defecting defied logic.

Previously, if in Emerald Sparrow's mind, Black Ash Dawn was merely "suspected" of providing technology to the Claw Mark, knowing the existence of Beast Children and some becoming Magical Girls, she was now convinced Black Ash Dawn had its hand in the technology source of Claw Mark.

She couldn't help but think of Hong Si.

On the day of the Full Moon Festival, Hong Si's ordeal was still fresh in her memory, and on the path of exploring the Claw Mark's forbidden technology, how many victims were there like Hong Si?

Emerald Sparrow couldn't bear to think deeply; even guessing a number weighed heavily on her heart.

"The Claw Mark's technology is extremely likely related to them, and these Beast Children turned Magical Girls are their works. These scum disregard taboos, abuse Residual Beast Magic, and treat lives like dirt. Now they are reaching out to Magical Girls, to children who originally had beautiful dreams, wanting to help others...

She looked at her palms, hands clenched: "Precisely because of this, no matter what conspiracy they are preparing, I absolutely won't let them succeed. Moreover, I must find and capture that disgusting guy hiding behind the scenes, using Magical Girls as shields, plotting schemes."

"Hmm, you sound quite motivated; maybe I was overthinking things."

The sound of drinking water came from the doll's head; likely a movement on Emerald's side, she pondered a bit, shook her head: "Are you free tonight?"

"Tonight?"

"Let's have another meeting; since you're so motivated, our security plan might need some adjustments." Emerald suggested.

"That shouldn't be a problem; I already have some ideas now..."

Emerald Sparrow nodded in agreement, and the two immediately began discussing the draft.

Some places needed relocation; some patrol logic required reevaluation. If they had to prevent external threats while ensuring readiness for disturbances from the Beast Children, many aspects need adjustment.

Just when their discussion was in full swing, a Magic Mirror message suddenly came from Emerald's side.

They had to pause their conversation for the moment as Emerald Sparrow saw she had been in the examination hall for nearly 20 minutes. Staying any longer might delay the subsequent exams, so she proactively proposed leaving.

Emerald didn't stop her.

Just as Emerald Sparrow assumed the conversation ended and walked decisively to the exam hall's door, hand reaching for it, she was stopped by a surprised exclamation from Emerald behind her:

—"What did you say? The file I just adjusted permissions for was viewed by Purple Diamond?"
