Off Work, Then Transform into a Magical Girl-Chapter 77 – Outside the office building
Lin Yun put down his phone and began to tidy up the files on his desk.
After the lunch break, Xia Liang inexplicably sent him a text message, suspecting that Mo Ke had lied about military information and had not returned after going out to find the Magical Girl. She wanted to conduct a follow-up investigation.
Remembering that he had been the subject of their investigation before, Lin Yun found it amusing that they had now turned their attention to Mo Ke, but he did not refuse.
He used the tracking spell formula he had previously set on Mo Ke, and after a simple sensing, he determined her location and shared it with the two girls through a group chat.
"But... an orphanage?"
As he sorted the files, his thoughts began to wander. "Could there really be new recruits?"
Although he was not very enthusiastic about recruiting new Magical Girls, if he encountered a talented child, the final decision would still be up to them. After all, after his conversation with his daughter, not only did Lin Xiaolu temporarily let go of her worries, but he also understood many things.
He would resign from his job of nearly ten years and devote himself completely to matters related to Magical Girls. And once he made this decision, it also meant one thing - someday, he would investigate the truth behind An Ya's death.
In the past, when he knew there was something suspicious about his wife's death, he didn't take any action because the Golden Green Cat's Eye reminded him that he was now a father and the only relative of his daughter. If something happened to him, there would be no one to take care of his child.
But now, the situation was different. His daughter had become a Magical Girl.
Although the process was full of twists and turns and not very pleasant, since she was determined to continue down this path, as a father, he should support her as much as possible.
This led to another option: to train his daughter to become strong enough to protect herself in the face of various enemies, and then choose a suitable time to leave.
In this way, he was inspired to think about building a team to support his daughter.
As early as when he recruited Xia Liang, he had this idea in his heart, but later he realized that his life was too busy. He worked during the day, acted as a Magical Girl on the side, and tutored two children at night.
With such a crowded schedule, if he rashly recruited a new Magical Girl, he would not only have no time to teach another person, but there might also be loopholes in ensuring their safety.
He hoped that when he built a team to support his daughter, every child would be able to grow up safely and securely, and when their wings were fully grown, they could face the real challenges.
Now that he had chosen to resign, he had more confidence in recruiting new members.
This was also the reason why he agreed to let Xia Liang and the others track Mo Ke.
After organizing the files on the desk and confirming that there were no omissions, he stood up from his seat and took a final look at his office desk.
To say that he had no attachment to this job would be a lie.

He had worked hard in this position for a long time, and although there were many hardships and unpleasant experiences, he had also made many friends and gained a lot of personal growth. More importantly, it was a way for him to shape his social identity.
Choosing to retire from the identity of a Magical Girl and enter the workplace as a professional. Besides not wanting to rely solely on his savings and wanting to provide more security for his family, it was also a way for him to maintain his true self.
He walked out of his office and gently closed the door, taking a deep breath.
It was over.
From now on, he would go to the CEO's office to say hello, and then officially resign, bidding farewell to this chapter of his career.
As he passed by the office of the Foreign Dispatch Department, he glanced through the glass window and saw his old colleagues sitting at their desks. Liu Guanshan, who was sitting with his feet up, smiled and waved at him.
Let's have a drink when you're free.
That's what he mouthed.
"Forget it, who wants to drink with you." Lin Yun muttered with a low voice through the window.
He arrived outside the CEO's office and saw that the door was slightly ajar. He hesitated for a moment, straightened his collar, and then gently knocked on the door.
"Come in."
A somewhat hoarse voice came from inside the room.
As he entered, Lin Yun could see the CEO of his company, a man named Wang Tengfei, sitting behind the desk, smiling at him.
He was called the CEO instead of the president because the company was still a small chain brand.
Its small and home elevator business covered the entire southern Donghua region, with its headquarters located in the nearest central city - Fangting City.
When An Ya was still alive, Lin Yun occasionally went on business trips for the Foreign Dispatch Department. After An Ya's death, in order to take better care of Lin Xiaolu, he voluntarily transferred to the After-sales Department. Although it was busier, at least he stayed in Fangting City.
At that time, he also had conversations with the CEO.
The person he talked to during the job transfer and now the resignation was the same person, but his mindset had completely changed.
"Old Lin, sit down. Have you really made up your mind?"
Wang Tengfei pointed to the chair in front of the desk and said, "Let's not beat around the bush. You're also our old employee, and you have great abilities. I was actually planning to promote you to a manager in another two years.""Everyone knows about your family situation, and they understand your recent attendance issues. Once you get over this hurdle, everything will be fine, right?"
Unfortunately, this hurdle seemed insurmountable.
Lin Yun sighed inwardly.
If it were just a normal fluctuation in his life, he could bear it. But now, balancing work and the affairs of the Magical Girl was proving impossible. He had to choose the side that was more important to him.
And now, without An Ya, Lin Xiaolu was the heaviest chip on the scale.
"Mr. Wang, we've discussed this many times. The company has treated me well, but I do have some personal reasons."
As the saying goes, 'don't bite the hand that feeds you', so Lin Yun forced a smile and said, "I have a lot of things to deal with at home, and I don't know when it will end. Continuing like this will only cause trouble for the company. It's better to make a decision sooner."
"It's not a problem, everyone understands. You're taking this too seriously."
Wang Tengfei tried to persuade him again, "If you have issues at home, why not take a long leave? We're old friends, why go to such extremes?"
"Sigh, Mr. Wang..."
Lin Yun pretended to sigh, and the two continued their polite but meaningless conversation until all the formalities were observed, marking the end of their discussion.
In the afternoon office, only their conversation could be heard, mixed with the whirring sound of the air conditioner.
Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting large patches of light on the floor.
In the middle of these patches of light, a tiny black dot had appeared at some point.
The black dot grew larger and heavier, gradually becoming hard to ignore, even vaguely taking on a human shape.
Lin Yun, facing the window, was still talking to Wang Tengfei. But as he gradually made out the scene outside the window, his speech slowed down until he finally stopped.
There was a person outside the window.
The CEO's office was on the 17th floor of the building, there couldn't possibly be anyone outside the window.
But at this moment, there was indeed a person standing far away outside the window, looking at the building where Lin Yun was.
It was a girl.
A girl in a black dress.
