A Girl Falling from the Sky / Can You Do It?

Ling Mengxue originally wanted to go straight in to find the person, but then she changed her mind and suddenly turned to a nearby alley, casually taking out her "big treasure" that she had recently bought in Star Prefecture from her storage space.

Incidentally, she temporarily transformed back into "Ling Feng's" appearance. After all, she was going to rescue her brother, and seeing "him" make a dashing rescue, wouldn't she be moved to tears?

Ling Mengxue quickly and neatly took off her clothes, only to realize that this wasn't like panties or underwear, where using magic to change clothes was inconvenient and required "repeated adjustments."

She looked around to make sure there was no one nearby and no surveillance cameras before taking a deep breath.

"OK, nobody's around, let's transform..."

That's a really strange password.

"Wait, no, it should be 'changing clothes'?"

The equipment is simple: a lightweight black hoodie that allows you to put your hands in your pockets (elegance☆), a baseball cap (presence☆), and a black face mask (mystery☆), the protagonist's three-piece set.

High emotional intelligence: The mysterious man in black who often makes a cool entrance in anime☆.

Low emotional intelligence: a criminal suspect!

What happened?

I feel like my chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) tendencies are pretty high, aren't they?

After changing into a black hoodie, pulling up the hood, putting on a baseball cap and a mask, and doing a self-check, Ling Mengxue's face inexplicably turned a little red.

He's all turned back into a "boy" now, with a fair neck, delicate collarbones, and medium-length hair with a touch of long, straight black hair— kind of cute?

The more I look at her, the more she looks like a girl! I can't stand it!

"You're starting to oppose me with just a mere illusion spell? Once my magic reaches High Tier, I'll definitely give you a good beating!"

After tidying up, Ling Mengxue went to the management office lobby to register and ask some questions before going directly to the second floor.

Inside the office, Ji Chen, Zhao Lei, and two other agents whom Ling Mengxue didn't recognize were sitting quietly on the sofa next to her. They had notebooks on their laps and pens in their hands, looking like students listening attentively to a lecture, their faces full of piety.

The four had been waiting in the office for a while before this.

Ji Chen was wearing a light gray V-neck cashmere sweater and brown-rimmed glasses. He was sitting calmly at his desk, organizing documents, exuding a faint air of authority.

"Detective Ling, you're here! I almost didn't recognize you, haha." Ji Chen noticed the person who had arrived and a genuine smile appeared on his face.

Although I already knew Ling Mengxue was a "Magical Girls," these young girls these days really know how to have fun.

Ji Chen capped his pen and pushed a milk tea bag on the table forward. "We just finished eating and bought some drinks on the way back. Let's rest for a bit."

"Thank you, Minister, you also like milk tea?" Ling Mengxue was a little surprised, and sat down next to Zhao Lei under his excited gaze.

"Um... I want strawberry flavor..." a girl wearing a beret suddenly spoke up.

The girl was a little shy and spoke softly, "Minister, is it alright? This older sister/brother... you wouldn't mind, would you?"

"Xiao Lu, you have to fight for what you want. Logically speaking, you are a junior, a newcomer..." Ji Chen hesitated, then smiled faintly, "But if you can convince Meng Xue, then never mind."

"Uh, I have no objection!" Ling Mengxue raised her hand, almost unable to resist the urge to roll her eyes at Ji Chen.

This is all to maintain his image as a good leader; he's just dumping the blame (the choice) on himself. How shameless! "Sir."

"Ahem!" Ji Chen, sipping his tea, noticed Ling Mengxue's gaze and immediately blushed, spitting out a mouthful of tea in embarrassment. He had thought the young girl was naive about social etiquette, but it seemed he had been seen through.

"Thanks! I can't live without strawberries... no, I mean, without strawberry milk tea." Xia Lu happily took the milk tea, tilted her head back, and looked Ling Mengxue up and down for a moment with her eyes under the brim of her hat.

Mengxue?

Judging from the voice, it's a boy, but I can't see his face, or whether he's a younger brother or sister, older brother or older sister. He seems like he'll be very good-looking.

Xia Lu was actually quite nervous. After all, as a newcomer, she was probably the first to speak so casually to her superior... Actually, she was the second, as there was another talented person next to her. But for the sake of milk tea, she was willing to give up everything!

Milk tea is so good!!

"Alright, Xiao Lu, you guys just listen over there. I'll talk to Detective Ling about this mission first." Ji Chen remembered what he had heard earlier and quickly got into the zone.

"Mengxue, according to your investigation, this mission's secret realm is again related to other dimensions, magic, and may even be related to a new secret realm. We can't be of much help with this, we can only assist you from the sidelines. We have already notified the Magic Association and are still applying. Do you need me to arrange more manpower for you?"

"It's alright, one is enough." Ling Mengxue wasn't modest; her smile was faint, though it wasn't very clear due to the mask.

Ji Chen nodded. "Okay, I'll have Xiao Lu and the others meet you later."

Xia Lu's lips curved slightly upward, and she involuntarily closed her eyes. 'Yes! I get a chance to shine on my very first day in office—a great achievement! A great achievement!'

"No need for the minister. We can send someone over to clean up the mess after we've finished dealing with this. It'll save us manpower," Ling Mengxue said with a smile, her attitude clear.

"??" Xia Lu was taken aback, her mind already racing with a clash of ideas. 'Hey! You're so high and mighty! You think you're so great!' 'You're so amazing, we...' 'Fine, for the sake of milk tea, I won't argue with you! Thank you!'

"Okay." Ji Chen nodded with a smile, not too worried. "Safety comes first."

"Rest assured."

Without lingering, Ling Mengxue quickly picked out a set of gear she liked, mounted the motorcycle Zhao Lei and the others had rented, and sped off to her destination.

It was Ling Mengxue's first time driving this thing, and she was a little nervous. She wondered if it would be similar to riding a bicycle?

No, it should be more like a small electric scooter?

Never mind, anyway, it's fast enough.

Throughout the entire journey in the car, Zhao Lei held Ling Mengxue tightly, not daring to let go. Fortunately, he was wearing a helmet this time, which greatly increased his ability to withstand the force; otherwise, he probably would have vomited again after getting out of the car.

Night enveloped the city, and the suburbs outside were silent, with few dim lights. The darkness, like thick ink, tightly enveloped everything under the night sky.

As expected, upon arriving at their destination, Ling Mengxue indeed found a desolate and lonely ancient castle at the location they had planned.

Looking up, a faint, eerie light shone through a broken window.

In the courtyard stood a bare, unnamed ancient tree, without a single leaf. Clumps of weeds covered the ground, and a tattered swing stood nearby. Outside the fence, a gentle breeze would occasionally blow, rustling the surrounding vegetation and sending a chill down one's spine.

Compared to the scenery outside, everything here seemed like a meticulously staged set for a horror movie, used to create atmosphere.

But Ling Mengxue and the others knew the truth and wouldn't make assumptions based on hearsay.

Returning to this awful place left Zhao Lei with psychological trauma.

It wasn't that the place was actually that terrifying, but being hung up and beaten by a woman until they were powerless to resist was nothing short of torture, utterly inhumane.

That's suppression on a psychological level!

"Brother Feng, this is it. I explored it with Brother Ping before, but we didn't find anything special. However, some objects in the house seem to have their own consciousness and are aggressive. They don't cause much harm, but they are extremely insulting!" Zhao Lei said indignantly as he walked behind.

Ling Mengxue nodded, didn't reply, and turned on the searchlight.

Somewhat surprisingly, the environment inside the castle was quite ordinary compared to a typical luxury villa.

The living room was simply furnished, clean and tidy, and didn't look like it was uninhabited. There were just a few sofas and a small table. The items and decorations were similar to European and American styles, but also quite different. Ling Mengxue didn't recognize many of the items. Could they be special products from another world?

The two searched the castle thoroughly, but it was quite ordinary; they found nothing.

There was another room with the door locked, which seemed to be a bedroom, but Ling Mengxue did not "trespass," as she could tell from her Spatial Perception that no one was inside.

So the whole house is just an empty house?

Ling Mengxue was unsure, but according to Zhao Lei's description, they were attacked after hearing a song during their investigation.

She took out her phone and glanced at the time; it was almost midnight. "Zhao Lei, do you know any more details?"

"More details?"

Zhao Lei was taken aback, then quickly fell into deep thought. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. "Do the lyrics count? That woman's singing is so sad, like some ancient incantation, full of resentment!"

"Do you remember?"

In this unpredictable world, where can we, like dust particles, fly to?

" In this City of Miracles shrouded in darkness, because of you, the comforting and gentle blankets remain—"

"Sorrow is tinged with death and desolation; where should we go? The gates to the end of the world whisper in the low white mist—it is both rebirth and destruction. May those who cherish dreams treasure the present and abandon the unknown."

A beautiful song, seemingly carrying the fragrance of rice and wheat and the scent of earth, drifted into her ears. Ling Mengxue listened attentively and couldn't help but become slightly captivated.

The singing seemed to possess some kind of peculiar magic, compelling her to listen attentively.

With...

Some kind of mental magic element?

"You sang well. By the way, can you sing a female voice? I didn't know you had practiced." Ling Mengxue smiled and patted Zhao Lei on the shoulder, not thinking about anything else for the moment.

Zhao Lei's expression stiffened. He turned around, his voice starting to sound off, "Brother Feng, that... that wasn't me singing..."

"Isn't it you?"

Ling Mengxue looked at him with suspicion in her eyes, but in just a moment, she snapped out of her daze and her expression suddenly became serious.

Something is approaching!

"Huh??" Zhao Lei looked completely bewildered.

"Second floor! Two o'clock!"

Ling Mengxue gave a warning, and without thinking, she lightly kicked Zhao Lei towards the sofa, using the strong recoil to push off and quickly create distance.

"Thump--!!"

With a dull thud, Zhao Lei crashed straight into the sofa, flipping over along with the chair before falling flat on his back with a "thud," knocking over all the teacups on the table and shattering them into pieces.

Uh, I hope everyone's alright.

The open space where they had been standing was also struck by a dazzling fluorescent light, scattering fragments like musical notes all over the ground, scorching it black.

"Seven Illusory Notes, angels reveling in the ethereal void, return to the chaotic and filthy mortal world, use your power to cleanse it; the power woven from great magic, please sweep away everything for me!"

"??"

Another chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) girl?

Upon hearing the magical incantation coming from above, Ling Mengxue was about to speak, but then she remembered that she needed to maintain her aloof persona, so she forced herself to calm down, and a half-smile appeared on her lips.

Even though I can't see it myself, it must be very stylish, right?

"Cool-toned bass, ice spirit bathed in the aurora, lend me your sacred ice crystal elements, to condense eternal freeze and frost, Illusory Voice Ice Dust!--"

As soon as the words were spoken, another dazzling blue musical note rang out.

With one hand in her pocket, Ling Mengxue lightly leaped away, dodging all the attacks.

How should I put it?

The opponent's musical note magic is somewhat similar to that of Class Monitor Liu Yinxuan, but they are not even in the same league. The damage from the ice-type sound dust magic is less than one-fifth of that of Low Tier, and it is estimated that it can only hit first or second-tier awakened beings.

"They're fighting! Don't laugh!"

A beautiful figure leaped down from the second-floor railing.

It was a girl about the same age as them. She was dressed in casual clothes, with fair skin, bright eyes, a very pretty little mouth, and a delicate figure. Her slightly shy manner of speaking made people feel a little affection for her, but at this moment she seemed a bit agitated.

Ling Mengxue remained relaxed and at ease, as if deflecting her attack was a piece of cake. She then teleported away, casually pulling Zhao Lei up from the ground amidst his adoring gaze. A slight smile played on her lips. "Heh, nothing special~"

"Hey, don't go too far! Don't forget your friend is still in my hands! If you make any more moves, you might never see him again!"

"I'm sorry, although Zhao Ping was in the wrong first and should apologize and compensate you, you also illegally detained him and subjected him to various forms of 'torture.' I think you should..."

"..."

"Damn it! Don't go too far! I'm giving you a way out, but you won't take it. You want to climb even higher, don't you?"

Zhao Lei couldn't take it anymore. He clenched his fists tightly, suddenly stepped forward, and said with a fierce look on his face, "I'm warning you, you'd better hand over Brother Ping right now. If anything happens to my brother, I'll... I'll..."

"Just what?"

The girl crossed her arms and looked at him smugly. "Anyway, I have the leverage. If you lay a hand on me, I guarantee you'll never see him again."
