Chapter 720 The Fox's Little Trick
Information about other dimensions is extremely scarce, but how can one legally and legitimately enter that dangerous place?
This problem had been troubling Su Tianqing for a long time. She had spent a lot of energy trying to find a reason to enter the other dimension to investigate. She could only hope that Yue Tianxin could whisper some words in Bai Ling and Nan Xiaofeng's ears and persuade them to take Yue Tianxin in to investigate.
However, the fox spirit is merely a stargazer familiar that I obtained from the secret manual. Even though she occupies a significant knowledge node on the tail network, her configuration is far less luxurious than my own.
If ordinary familiars are like Android phones on the Tail Network, and witch monsters are like tablets, then Tsuki Tenshin is like a laptop equipped with a 9800X and a 5070ti, while this fox's true form is the central hub of a Hyper Threadripper and a Tesla H200.
As for the secret manual... it's probably something like the Galaxy X supercomputer group.
The moment Su Tianqing saw the news on TV, she realized one thing: an opportunity had arrived.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! The coincidence is so striking that this fox even suspects the Secret Codex might be behind it all. Hey, Secret Codex, it's been ages since we chatted. Tell me, was this your doing?
The void remained silent.
Fortunately, Su Tianqing didn't expect the secret manual to give any hints. It would most likely only provide guidance when she encountered a world-class problem, just like last time.
But this time the situation seemed equally dire—with the mindset of arriving at the scene first to see how things were going, Xin Yuehu followed Hellcat and used teleportation magic to arrive directly at the entrance of the sports center. The magical fluctuations from the teleportation magic caused Hyacinth and the others, who were discussing countermeasures in the front-line camp, to tremble all at the same time.
The magical energy fluctuations were so familiar; this type of magical energy fluctuation was almost etched into Hyacinth's DNA. She quickly turned around and looked towards the camp gate, where she saw the golden-haired fox girl looking up at the large drone in the sky above the football field.
"Heart Moon Fox? What's she doing here?" Hyacinth couldn't help but ask.
No one can answer the hyacinth's inner confusion.
As the cat and fox leisurely strolled into the front-line camp gate, casually pulled over a chair, and sat down near the air conditioner vent to enjoy the breeze, Hyacinth finally couldn't resist any longer:
"...Are you two here to watch the fun and cause trouble on the side?"
"You actually look at me like that? I'll be heartbroken." The golden-haired fox girl deliberately pretended to be sad and tearful, but her eyes were full of undisguised laughter.
Compared to Hyacinth, who instinctively wanted to grit her teeth and bare her fangs at Shingetsuko but was glared at by Hellcat's round, heterochromatic eyes, the two heroes of the Hero Association showed expressions of relief:
"You've come at just the right time. We've been needing a skilled person with extensive experience in the 'magic space' realm."
"Oh? I only heard that something unexpected happened here, so I came here to see what was going on. I didn't expect to find something unexpected."
The fox-girl tilted her head curiously and said.
Messiah showed no wariness towards Kokoro's villainous magical girl identity; instead, they chatted easily and comfortably.
"A student was playing football on the field when a spatial rift suddenly appeared and sucked him in, which terrified the people around him. His parents, who had come to the stadium with him to cool off and take a walk, were also very anxious and instinctively tried to rush in, but were seriously injured by a translucent monster that suddenly emerged from the spatial rift."
A semi-transparent monster... Su Tianqing really didn't want to hear this rather ominous term at a time like this.
When I first investigated the alley where the missing person was located, I was attacked by a semi-transparent hand. Now that such a monster has appeared, it's hard not to connect the two events.
"Can I go and see what it looks like?" Xin Yuehu asked.
This time, Hyacinth was finally unable to speak due to the combined suppression of her teammates. Although Bai Ling was still somewhat wary of the two unclaimed stars in front of her, she still followed Messiah and led the cat and fox through the association's blockade and into the football field that had been strictly sealed off.
There were a few residents strolling around outside the football field cordon, but they all tacitly kept a considerable distance from the football field—although such a distance is not a safe distance in the event of a real disaster, it at least makes the association's cordon look much more secure.
As they entered through the audience passage, the golden-haired fox girl casually inquired about the families of those attacked by the monster.
The Messiah spread his hands.
"Oh, Wuyi just finished treating them overtime. He said it was just a superficial injury. They need to stay in the hospital for observation tonight, and they can be discharged after a follow-up examination tomorrow morning."
"Don't worry about that. The association has world-class expertise in treating physical injuries and psychological trauma, even more so than magic."
Su Tianqing had never doubted the Hero Association's medical expertise, especially since she herself had worked in the field and knew very well what kind of monsters those two lifetime senior doctors who used psychic abilities to treat illnesses in Rongcheng were.
Both The Lancet and Moira are capable of being doctoral supervisors or even dean-level supervisors, and I dare not question their top-notch professional skills.
She glossed over her concern for the injured and walked into the stadium, where she immediately saw the mess on the green field:
Everywhere were traces of magical slashes and the aftershocks of magical cannon bombardments. In the center of the court, a deep wound in space floated silently, from which a thin but very strong magical energy emanated, which was restricted to a range of about three meters by a surrounding magical barrier.
"How was my cooking? Doesn't it taste pretty good?" Nightingale had somehow slipped into the soccer field with him, puffing out her chest with confidence and showing off her youthful curves.
"I'll lead you this far. Any further ahead is beyond the reach of my psychic abilities. I hope you can find some clues."
The Messiah waved goodbye, turned and left, leaving the professional field to the professionals.
Su Tianqing turned to look at the white ferret spirit perched on Nightingale's shoulder and asked directly:
"Have you taken care of the monster that emerged from the rift?"
"Of course, Hyacinth started fighting the monster as soon as she arrived," the white ferret elf nodded and replied. "That monster was quite powerful; despite only having half a body, he was able to fight Hyacinth to a standstill."
Bai Ling then went on to describe in detail the strange man's appearance at that time:
It was a columnar body that didn't quite look like a human, but it had four human-shaped arms. It was rooted in the green field of the stadium in a way that resembled plant roots, and it was fighting a big battle with the Hyacinth Squad that came to the rescue.
Fortunately, Meteor's support arrived in time to evacuate all the citizens in the area. The hesitant Hyacinth and Iris then launched a lightning-fast attack to subdue it, making sure to search the ground thoroughly to confirm that it had not escaped underground. Only then was the monster declared destroyed.
I feel like Hyacinth is getting smarter and smarter. He actually flipped the ground to check his backup plan. Could it be that he was traumatized by the iron tree monster that I planted when I was picking a fight last time?
The magical girls crossed the battlefield and arrived at the spatial rift floating in the air, looking up at the rift that shimmered with a faint light.
Since magic couldn't penetrate the crack, it was impossible to know the specific situation inside. Su Tianqing squinted, wanting to say something, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt it was inappropriate and didn't say anything.
Actually, I wanted to go in and take a look myself—that's what I meant.
My true strength is still not very high. I can handle support-type characters like Nightingale and Alice or newbies, but if I encounter a combat-type character like Iris and Hyacinth, my true nature will be revealed.
Where can I find someone willing to go in and participate in the investigation in my place...?
"I know what you're trying to say, but I won't agree!" Hyacinth's voice rang out from behind at just the right moment.
The Hellcat silently positioned itself between Hyacinth and Heartmoon Fox. The fox girl peeked out from under the cat's body and winked at Hyacinth.
"Hmm? What you're saying, Miss Hyacinth? Wouldn't it be more beneficial for the missing student if I went in and took a look, since that would yield more clues?"
"Last time in the mountain city you secretly planted landmines in my mental world! I won't fall for it a second time!" Hyacinth said.
"Oh dear, that's the mental world that this fox and Miss Qiugui collaborated on. This strange space is fundamentally different."
"Well, not now. We have to go in and check the situation first before you can go in!" Hyacinth persisted.
See? Even if I don't say anything, the hyacinths come running to me. They're truly my precious little darlings!
Su Tianqing's lips curled into a pleased smile.
