Chapter 552: How did you manage to hold back your laughter?
Inside the room.
Girl Mo Qiuli vividly recounted the entire process to the clueless Girl Luo Jianhua.
Ye Yao was naturally happy to hear about Director Jie Fuqi's walking-on-thin-ice operation once more.
After listening, Girl Luo Jianhua couldn't help but comment: "The Director looks so steady. How would Mr. Lou Wei say it instead?"
"He'd probably get straight to the point, right?" Ye Yao retorted.
Director Jie Fuqi coming in person definitely meant he wasn't confident in Jie Louwei's operations and eloquence.
Facts proved this was correct.
Even a girl as sensitive as Girl Mo Qiuli was left stunned by what he said.
It seems Director Jie Fuqi had done his homework well.
Every argument was full of logic.
What would Jie Louwei do instead?
He would probably ask, "Are you Chenxing from the Magical Girl Alliance?"—that kind of doxxing-like question.
Being straightforward might be very efficient, but that would also be too scary.
Furthermore, the person being communicated with was Girl Mo Qiuli.
She was not someone like Ye Yao, whose head was full of little schemes.
Ye Yao still had to act based on how the Countermeasure Bureau treated Girl Mo Qiuli.
If the person who came to communicate couldn't satisfy Girl Mo Qiuli, then they would just have to keep up the charade.
Now it seemed, Director Jie Fuqi's handling method was passable.
He used suggestive language to invite the Magical Girl Alliance to visit the Headquarters.
This was very clever. It also avoided the awkwardness of exposing their identities.
Girl Luo Jianhua looked at Ye Yao. "Big Sister, are we going?"
"Go, of course we're going. Even if it's a trap, we have to go."
"For you, Big Sister, it probably doesn't count as a trap, right?"
"Hmph, why wouldn't it? What if Lou Wei ambushes us?"
"How did you keep from laughing when you said that, Big Sister?"
Girl Luo Jianhua almost couldn't hold it in.
What qualifications does Mr. Lou Wei have? Just because he was instantly defeated by a single strike from Ye Yao's wand over the island nation?
Although saying it like this is a bit disrespectful to the modern strongest, it really is a bit funny.
"Then when are we leaving, Big Sister?"
"There's no time like the present; let's go tomorrow. We can treat it as a sightseeing trip."
Ye Yao made the decision quickly.
Girl Mo Qiuli then asked: "Ye Yao, what identities should we use to set off?"
"Of course, as Magical Girls. Little Luo is Flower Leaf, Little Mo is Chenxing, and I am Nursery Rhyme. Do you expect us to use our real identities?"
Ye Yao spoke in a tone that took it for granted.
Facts proved she was indeed having a lot of fun; it felt like putting on a mask.
But Girl Luo Jianhua felt that Ye Yao was more like someone taking off a mask.
If she entered the Countermeasure Bureau as a Magical Girl, Girl Luo Jianhua's toes would be curling so hard they'd dig out a three-bedroom apartment again.
And this was even with someone having already guessed her identity.
Girl Mo Qiuli didn't care in the first place; she would be delighted if someone mistook her for a Magical Girl and wouldn't feel the slightest bit of shame.
Ye Yao, relying on the excuse that no one in this space-time knew her, wasn't worried about social death at all.
Only Girl Luo Jianhua was destined for social death.
But since things had come to this, she could only go along with their nonsense.
After all... she had actually been a little happy during this period; it felt like living her own life.
Having friends to play with, not having to mindlessly compete, and not having to worry about responsibilities beyond her comprehension—everything was very relaxed.
This was undoubtedly one of the reasons Ye Yao brought her along.
"Then let's return to the Countermeasure Bureau, in the identity of 'Magical Girl Flower Leaf'."
"Whoa! Little Luo, your eyes have a lot of feeling this time! You finally have the Aura of a Magical Girl!"
Ye Yao leaned in, staring intently at her eyes with a tone of watching the excitement without fearing the consequences.
Girl Mo Qiuli was even more full of pleasant surprise. "Where, where? Let me see!"
"Ugh, don't look at me like that, it's a bit embarrassing..."
Girl Luo Jianhua couldn't help but cover her face with her hands, her earlobes red enough to drip blood.
Perhaps this was the true meaning of youth.
The next day. Countermeasure Bureau Headquarters.
Director Jie Fuqi did not stay in that city for long, but returned to the Headquarters immediately after finishing his meeting with Girl Mo Qiuli.
At this moment, the upper management was holding a meeting.
Naturally, it was Director Jie Fuqi explaining the matters regarding the "Magical Girl Alliance" to the others.
It could only be said that the appearance of this term in a serious atmosphere somewhat ruined the mood.
Fortunately, everyone was able to keep a straight face.
"I have already issued the invitation; it just depends on when she comes," Director Jie Fuqi said.
"What if they don't understand the hint?" someone asked.
"They won't. They will definitely come, it's just a matter of when," Director Jie Fuqi said with a very firm tone.
After all, when he was talking to Mo Qiuli yesterday, he could indeed feel a faint gaze.
Although he didn't know where it came from, it must have been the gaze of Nursery Rhyme.
He would just treat it as intuition.
Jie Louwei remained silent. If it were his style, it would have been straight to the point.
It was just that it might not have been suitable for that occasion.
Several important S-Class Espers remained at the Headquarters on standby and did not return to their respective responsible areas.
For example, Fang Ze, and also Cheng Muxue.
Xiao Jing and Tu Sheng, who had attended the last meeting, were of course not absent.
After all, this was a public event, and the others had the right to know.
It would be awkward if Nursery Rhyme was mistaken for an intruder when she came in response to the invitation.
"The other party shouldn't just attack at the drop of a hat like Ye Ge, right?" a high-level official asked with concern.
After all, the people who were slapped into the wall by Ye Ge before were still recovering from their injuries.
Although the Countermeasure Bureau could accelerate the healing of their injuries, they had to delay the healing to ensure they wouldn't be targeted again.
Who knew if Ye Ge would beat them up again after discovering that her former targets had recovered?
Lying there was better than getting beaten up again. The feeling of near-death was not pleasant.
Director Jie Fuqi pondered for a moment. "Most likely not. After all, the other party calls herself a Magical Girl. As everyone knows, Magical Girls do not attack innocent civilians; they only target evil forces."
"Are you serious, Director?" Sure enough, this term appearing in the meeting was still too hard to keep a straight face about.
What kind of Magical Girl? It was just children's roleplay.
Director, why are you studying this? What does 'as everyone knows' mean? Who understands what you're talking about?
The group of old veterans in high positions were exhausted.
At this moment, Xiao Jing in the corner chimed in.
"I actually think the Director's judgment is very correct. Nursery Rhyme must be a good child.
You can tell by what they did in the island nation; they didn't kill any innocent people at all.
Since the other party calls herself a Magical Girl, she must have great love and kindness in her heart.
We can definitely get along well with her, and there must also be a misunderstanding with Ye Ge."
"Sigh, Xiao Jing, it's better not to use common sense to view people who hold top-tier power, and definitely don't treat them like children. Your attitude might actually arouse their vigilance and resentment."
"O-okay..." Xiao Jing felt a little wronged.
Just then, Director Jie Fuqi's assistant walked into the meeting room.
"Report, three Mental Power sources have intruded into the Capital's airspace and are flying towards the Headquarters. According to observations, they seem to be the three members of the Magical Girl Alliance."
"What? It's today!" Director Jie Fuqi took a deep breath.
"Prepare for reception." This was undoubtedly a chance to solve the mystery.
