Chapter 654 Even Villains Need an Organizational Plan
The rooftop of an office building in a mountain city.
No one knows why magical girls always like to meet on rooftops. Su Tianqing herself doesn't know either. It's probably because Red Rose started a bad trend. Currently, almost all the meeting places between righteous magical girls and some villains are assumed to be on the rooftops of various buildings.
This has several advantages—it makes using flight magic more convenient, allowing for quick takeoff and landing, and you won't have to worry about being recognized by passersby when you deactivate your transformation at the highest point in the city, saving you a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Since the Garuda incident, the old villainous rooftop was brutally flattened during the battle with the giant beast, which, while heartbreaking, also gave Su Tianqing a sense of relief.
Because the old-style villain rooftop was designed and built by him when he first started out, the underlying logic was simple and crude. It was almost like laying an anti-gravity platform on the roof and then building various structures on it, making it look like an illegal building. If he had seriously applied to the Hero Association, it would definitely have caused the engineering department to make a sharp explosion.
However, the redesigned second generation is quite different. It not only has special cognitive shielding to prevent unrelated people and fanatics from accidentally entering, but also has enhanced defensive capabilities and mobility.
That's right, the second-generation villain's rooftop is mobile, a luxury RV in the world of magical girl rooftops. Using the space magic that I, the fox, am good at, I can pack it up and take it away at any time. No matter which city I go to, I can just find a rooftop that looks good and take it down, like a mobile base vehicle.
It provides high-quality tea and refreshment services anytime, anywhere, and can also use magic to create local 3D maps to quickly formulate villainous plans. It is simply an essential daily item for every villainous organization.
"Well then, let's summarize the information we've gathered in the mountain town."
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, the golden-haired fox girl unfolded a 3D map of the mountain city on the coffee table and spoke to her companions who were sitting on the sofas around the coffee table.
Fenrir was the first to speak:
"I'll go first."
"I'm quite familiar with this mountain city. Rabbit suggested a few possible locations, so I went to investigate the locations she marked, which are..."
Just as the gray wolf girl was about to take out her notebook and read out the place names recorded on it, the Cheshire Rabbit had already extended her wand and tapped the map a few times, marking several red beams of light.
"...Yes, just these few places." Fenrir's eyes widened slightly, but he also expressed his helpless agreement with Rabbit's behavior.
After all, even if he read out the place name, the few outsiders around him might not understand what he was talking about. It would be better to just point it out on the map like Rabbit did. At least Xin Yuehu, a magic master, could see at a glance what these pillars of light meant.
"Hmm... According to the mental world I set up in Rongcheng, these places are indeed the most likely locations to open the entrance."
The golden fox nodded and said,
"But Qiu Gui and the others got the trial card that the dog had before. I gave that card almost super administrator privileges, so it's hard to guarantee that they won't make personalized adjustments to the entrance location."
"Oh, I miscalculated." Cheshire Rabbit realized his mistake and felt a little annoyed.
"But our process of elimination is correct. Doggy, did you find any traces of Qiu Gui and the others opening the portal to the mind while investigating these places?"
The fox girl looked up at the gray wolf on the sofa opposite the coffee table. The wolf stared at her expressionlessly, as if it were screaming "I am a wolf!" with its eyes.
The silent protest seemed to solidify the gray wolf's racial identity, and she quickly revealed all the information she had gathered from the investigation:
"We split up and searched these places separately, but we didn't find any trace of the mental world being opened, or even any trace of magic left behind."
"I went to here and here. Rabbit and the other girl are in this area, and Alice and the others are in these places."
After seeing Fenrir point out the locations assigned to each person, Heart Moon Fox adjusted the map and carefully observed for a while, then squinted and turned her gaze to Two-Colored Alice.
Golden Alice sat obediently, each drinking a beverage with Black Jack. It seemed to be a local specialty tea drink from the mountain town, and judging from her expression, it seemed to suit the taste of this foreigner.
"Alice, and Jack, could you explain to me in detail the specific circumstances and process of your investigations in these places?"
"Okay, I'll explain."
Little Jack, who had a significantly better command of the local language, took over the conversation and saved everyone from the predicament they faced when listening to Alice's British-accented Chinese.
And so on, and so forth, chattering and babbling.
That's how it is.
After carefully recounting his long explanation, Little Jack took a sip of his drink to moisten his throat and nodded slightly.
"We found no trace of any powerful magic being cast, nor any indication that the mental world had ever been created."
"Hmm, that's strange," Su Tianqing muttered to herself. "Logically speaking, no matter how Qiu Gui and the others changed the location of the mental image entry, there should have been some magical disturbance in these places."
Things are probably not as simple as I expected. Su Tianqing thought to herself.
Qiu Gui and the others obtained the Mindscape World Experience Card, but were trapped in that place that had been distorted into a dreamlike Mindscape due to the activity of the Domain Monster. But why can't they find the location where they entered the Mindscape?
"I have an idea, but I don't know if it will work," Hellcat suddenly said.
The catgirl stretched out her magic wand, controlling the map of the mountain city to transform into a flat plane. She casually wiped away the red dots and pillars of light, and instead placed a blue dot of light in the center of the city.
"Since we can't find the entrance, why don't we just give up and use the same methods we used when facing Garuda?"
"...You mean, we should carve an entrance directly into the dream imagery, and then crawl through this temporary entrance?" Fenrir asked in horror.
"Yes, that's the idea." The catgirl nodded in agreement.
Upon hearing this outrageous idea, the gray wolf shook his head repeatedly, saying it was bad news. He wondered if the cat had learned bad habits from the fox, always thinking about achieving miracles through brute force. But then he thought that she herself seemed to be the type to achieve miracles through brute force, and he silently let it go.
"This is one method, but drilling a hole would only allow me to bring one person in, not all of us to rescue, which could pose a higher risk."
"I see... then let's keep it as a backup plan." The catgirl raised an eyebrow and nodded.
Just as everyone was at a loss and preparing to conduct a thorough search of the mountain city, a magical resonance from the Heart Moon Wand suddenly caught Su Tianqing's attention. The fox froze on the sofa, its tail standing up high, as if it had suddenly realized something.
"Everyone, please wait a moment."
The fox spirit quickly stopped the heated discussion around the coffee table. Everyone turned to look at the fox spirit who had raised the Heart Moon Magic Wand, but their attention was immediately drawn to the figure who pushed open the living room door and walked in:
It was a humanoid figure dressed like a stealth hunter, carrying a jet-black winged person in her hand like a chick. She was timidly looking at the surprised people in the conference room with her neck shrunken, and raised half of her wing to greet them with a wry smile.
"Um... yeah... hi everyone..."
Magical girl Sakuya was dragged in by the Sagittarius witch.
