Clang!
The train doors opened, and Chang Lei appeared at the doorway.
As soon as Chang Lei stepped off the train, the detectives and experts who had been watching outside immediately gathered around, their eyes filled with surprise and confusion.
Unlike Tang Zijun and Chang Lei, who were the instigators, they had no idea what had happened from beginning to end.
In their eyes, Tang Zijun summoned the train, and then Tang Zijun and Chang Lei boarded the train. Immediately afterwards, the entire train began to undergo earth-shattering changes.
The original orange exterior was outlined with gold trim, and a soft, comforting glow emanated from it, changing the train's overall aura.
"Deputy Director Chang, what exactly is going on?"
A professor with gray hair walked over quickly, carrying a heavy-looking instrument in his arms, his face full of confusion.
"Why have the negative energy parameters in the surface world become so strange? We've never seen this change before, and most importantly, the negative energy index has disappeared. What exactly happened just now?"
Upon hearing this, Chang Lei did not answer immediately.
He looked around and saw that everyone's eyes were on him. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke.
"Thank you all for your hard work, we finally succeeded!"
This was the first and only sentence Chang Lei spoke after getting out of the car.
The professor and the other experts and agents around him were all extremely puzzled by Chang Lei's inexplicable answer.
"Deputy Director Chang, what are you talking about? What success? And what effort? We haven't done anything. We haven't even started."
The old professor looked down at the parameters and tables on the instrument, his brow furrowed.
"We were just researching the background information on this train. Based on the intelligence the bureau has gathered so far, it should be a train manufactured between the late 18th and early 19th centuries, but we don't know why it was shaped like something from the surface world..."
"The world was born from negative energy. I have recorded all the values related to the changes in negative energy, from the appearance of the train to the current increase in the negative energy threshold."
"But now, for some reason, all the negative energy has disappeared, and it has become very strange. The energy fluctuations of the entire train have also exceeded the measurement range of the instruments."
As the professor spoke, a woman next to him adjusted her glasses.
"If we can't detect negative energy, how can we proceed with our research? It would be great if we could convert the energy into a value that we can currently detect."
The professor frowned slightly, his muddled thoughts beginning to sink, then slowly struggling to break free from their mire. He raised his head slightly. "Yes, wouldn't it be better if we could detect the value?"
"But besides negative energy, what other types of energy can we detect?" an agent couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Should we contact headquarters and temporarily transfer a magical girl to assist us? Perhaps they can help us."
"Magical girl... Yes, all I need to do is call over a magical girl to help us."
"Why can't we convert the train's energy fluctuation parameters into magic readings? That way, we won't be able to detect negative energy, but we can still detect magic."
The old professor blinked, seemingly deep in thought. "The energy source of the surface world comes from negative energy, but if we can replace negative energy with magic, wouldn't we be able to detect magic?"
"But we don't have any Rainbow Crystal Flowers," the woman beside us spoke up again. "Besides, a magical girl's awakening requires a spirit beast, so where are we going to get one?"
"Wait a minute, didn't the Northeast Division report a magical girl who failed to awaken? That foreign girl, don't you still have her rainbow crystal flower and spirit beast?" An agent suddenly remembered something.
"Then I'll send the application to the head of the Northeast division right now..." the old professor muttered, then looked up and met Chang Lei's eyes. "Deputy Director Chang, you've arrived. My application... We're about to begin the experiment. You can observe; this will be an extraordinary feat."
"Has it begun? Are the rainbow crystal flowers and spirit beasts ready?"
"I didn't notice..."
The woman frowned slightly. "Didn't that six-star agent already go in with the Rainbow Crystal Flower and the spirit beast? He has an extraordinary connection with this surface world."
"Oh right, that's how it is..." The old professor nodded contentedly, seemingly deep in thought.
Just then, a young man in a white lab coat nearby suddenly screamed, "Detected!"
Everyone was startled by the shout, as if waking from a dream, and all looked in the direction of the young man.
The young man's shocked face trembled slightly, then gradually broke into a genuine smile.
"Magic level detected! We succeeded!"
The detective standing nearby was slightly taken aback, as if he hadn't quite reacted yet. He slowly turned his head to look at the old professor, and the others also silently shifted their gazes.
The old professor slightly opened his mouth and slowly lowered his head to look at the instrument in his arms.
On the screen, the original negative energy index had disappeared, and in its place, a parameter specifically designed to detect the magical girl's energy level was displayed.
This is a device used by the Magical Inspection Bureau to detect magical power in magical girls. It is more rigorous than the magical girls guessing on their own and can clearly observe the concentration of magical power in the magical girl's body.
Although the train's magical parameters were only at the green level according to the instrument's detection, it was definitely part of the magical girl system.
His cloudy eyes cleared in that instant, and the old professor looked up in a daze.
"We succeeded," he said.
The next moment, the crowd in the open space erupted in thunderous cheers.
"It's a success!!"
"We've successfully transformed the real world into a magical girl world!"
"Incredible! Absolutely brilliant!"
"Mom, I've made something of myself!!"
"It worked! It worked! Hahahaha!"
Seeing the excited crowd, the old professor's last remaining doubts vanished, and he waved his hand vigorously. "Quick, record it! Quick, record the data!"
"Oh right, right, right!" The woman next to her was the first to react, rushing back to her seat and quickly reaching for the keyboard.
After a moment's hesitation, the other experts rushed to their respective posts and began operating the instruments frantically.
This is the first time in the world that this has been done, and it is a great experiment.
Any change in the smallest detail could lead to unpredictable risks, or even plunge everyone present into an unknown abyss.
But thankfully they succeeded.
With everyone working together and a bit of luck, they actually accomplished this incredible feat.
A smile finally broke out on the old professor's aged face. He turned sharply to look at Chang Lei, his voice brimming with barely concealed excitement. "Deputy Director Chang, we succeeded! The world's first magical girl train!"
"Thank you so much. We would never have been able to accomplish all this without your approval and strong support."
"Don't say that, I didn't do anything."
With a gentle smile, Chang Lei raised his hand and patted the old professor on the shoulder.
"All of this is thanks to your hard work. You have put your expertise into the right place step by step. You are the real heroes."
After saying that, Chang Lei turned around and boarded the train again.
The train doors closed, shutting out the cheers from outside the train.
Judging from the excited smiles on everyone's faces, they won't be able to calm down anytime soon.
After all, this is a breakthrough worthy of being recorded in history.
Chang Lei's gaze fell on Tang Zijun, Juan Erduo, and the girl. He found a seat and sat down. "Things are settled outside. What about you guys? Have you decided on a name yet?"
"...Ahem." Tang Zijun cleared her throat. "Juan Erduo and I just explained the difference between 'names' and 'model numbers' to her, and that in human society, model numbers can't be used as names; it would sound really strange."
"Indeed." Curly-eared rabbit stood on the table. "A pretty girl going out and introducing herself as KD type 3, that's just too weird. Even I, a rabbit, find it strange."
"Then what should we do?" Chang Lei stared at the girl. "Don't you have any nickname you'd like to use?"
The girl blinked, her eyes filled with clear, innocent wonder.
"She wouldn't understand if you talked to her about this." Curly-eared girl plopped down, her ears drooping. "She's not really human, after all."
"That's true. Why don't we brainstorm and come up with a name for her?" Chang Lei said after thinking for a moment.
Tang Zijun's lips twitched. "Don't look at me, I'm terrible at naming things."
"But I want you to give me a name," the girl suddenly said.
Tang Zijun turned her head and was met with the girl's hopeful and eager gaze.
"Woolen cloth"
The girl looked to Chang Lei for help, but Chang Lei simply shrugged. "You heard that? They want you to get it."
Tang Zijun looked at the little rabbit again, and the curly-eared rabbit also showed a helpless expression. "I'm just a rabbit, naming humans is beyond my knowledge."
.
Tang Zijun rubbed her temples helplessly and turned her gaze back to the girl.
"Actually, using the model number isn't a bad idea... I mean, perhaps we could make some modifications to your model number, for example..."
"KD type III, KD, Katie, what do you think of Katie?"
"Katie?" the girl blinked.
"Doesn't sound like a Chinese person..." Curly-eared muttered softly.
"You, a spirit beast who made a contract with a foreign girl, have no right to say that, okay?" Chang Lei rolled his eyes. "Besides, she's definitely not Chinese; she's not even human."
At that moment, the girl smiled.
"I like."
"Thank you, Tang Zijun."
"From today onwards, my name is Katie!"
