Chapter 420 The Sly Nightingale
Chapter 420 The Sly Nightingale
the next morning.
After yesterday's on-site investigation and her own mental counseling, Fenfeng's obsession with Alice finally came to an end, and her mental state visibly improved.
At least now I can joke and play with everyone.
"What are you all doing holding your phones?"
"Class is starting!" "I haven't earned my credits for today yet." "Me too..."
Looking at everyone sitting on the living room sofa, each engrossed in their online classes on their phones, Su Tianqing was once again struck by just how vast the Hero Association's power truly was.
"The strange attack that occurred at Rongcheng Third College of Arts and Sciences, as well as the frequent activities of the magical girl Shingetsuko, exposed the lack of safety awareness and equipment in major colleges and universities in Rongcheng in the event of a strange attack."
"Therefore, the Chengdu Heroes Association, together with its branches in several surrounding cities, launched a seven-day program to upgrade and test school safety equipment."
"Due to frequent alarms during the testing period, students will receive online classes from their dormitories and homes. To ensure the smooth operation of these classes..."
This was yesterday's news program.
The security equipment upgrade was just a pretext. Although the Hero Association did need to upgrade its alarm system, Su Tianqing believed it wouldn't take that long.
As for why seven days is such a delicate timeframe... opinions will vary.
Hmph, since that's the case, then this fox will make good use of the remaining time to bring this body-swapping adventure to a grand conclusion.
Let's take a look at what other interesting and clever little gadgets the Secret Codex has to offer.
As the golden-haired fox girl was checking the secret manual tasks as usual, and thinking about what kind of fun she should take Hyacinth and the others to have today, a small note fell from the pages of the manual.
"Hmm? A note?"
Su Tianqing tilted her head curiously, her fox ears sticking up to one side, fully expressing the fox girl's bewilderment.
Although it was called a note, the material was no different from the pages of a secret manual. Su Tianqing didn't care whether it was a note or a page; what surprised her most was the content written on the note:
[Bonus Mission: The All-New Shadow of Stars]
Get to know Xia Taotao and awaken her starry reflection.
……who?
Xia Taotao?
Shall we give the bunny a Starry Night Shadow outfit?
Su Tianqing silently put the note back into the secret book and closed it. She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, hoping that she had just misread it.
That's right, I must have been having too much fun lately and got dizzy from all the fuss, how could I possibly see such a weird hellish mission, hahaha.
Su Tianqing flipped the paper over again, and it slid down again. The familiar caught it and handed it to her, and she stared intently at the contents of the paper.
"Understanding Xia..."
"Snapped!"
The fox girl, expressionless, slammed the note back onto the secret manual, her tail swaying in anger.
Secret manual! Wasn't the body-swapping adventure I recently put on you already hilarious enough? Why did you have to give me this hellish difficulty mission?!
Do you even know who Rabbit is?! She's the most difficult person to deal with in my team, and even in the entire city of Rongcheng!
...Actually, she's quite easy to manage. She's happy as long as she plays with Rabbit. Su Tianqing made a self-deprecating remark.
But do you know how difficult it was to give the bunny the Starry Night effect?
Thinking of this, Su Tianqing organized her action plan for tonight while having her familiar look through a series of videos and text information records related to the rabbit.
In almost all of her self-made videos, Rabbit maintains a frenzied aura and state when facing magical girls.
I can't even imagine what it would be like if such a madman got his hands on the Shadow of the Stars.
But as she watched, Su Tianqing suddenly realized a very important situation.
Although Xia Taotao and I are classmates and have been through so many things together, my understanding of Tutu is still very superficial.
One reason is that Xia Taotao's social anxiety always comes into play at crucial moments, but Su Tianqing thinks there may be other reasons as well.
But what exactly is it? What information have I missed?
Could it be that Bunny is really just a die-hard fan of magical girls? Could her reason for transforming into the Cheshire Bunny be simply her fervent love for magical girls?
...You know what, it's actually possible.
"I should try to talk to Rabbit alone first and get a better understanding of her past life," Su Tianqing thought to herself.
Rabbit's Starry Shadow might become the longest quest I've ever encountered; at least for now, I have absolutely no clue how to get started.
"In conclusion! Let's hold today's villain strategy meeting!"
The fox girl walked to the villain's rooftop lounge, looked at the Hyacinth group who were playing cards around the coffee table after finishing an online class, and said while wagging her tail.
.
Villainous operations meeting.
Upon hearing this seemingly exciting term, the nightingale, residing in the dog's body, sat at the conference table, wagging its tail vigorously, looking full of anticipation.
The hyacinth and iris calmly watched their companion, suddenly feeling a little worried about the nightingale's mental state.
Nightingale is a well-known Fox fan in the team, and even the number one moderator in Xinyuehu's live stream. She even shows such a fondness for villainous activities...
"I say, could Nightingale be planning to defect?" Hyacinth whispered.
Iris shrugged with a wry smile.
The whispered discussion about the probability of the nightingale's defection was interrupted by the fox girl's soft voice.
"Today's villain meeting, I, Fox, intend for you all to discuss today's activity plan yourselves."
The fox girl smiled as she spoke, her fox tail swaying gently behind her, drawing the attention of almost everyone.
"In other words, everyone needs to truly immerse themselves in the villain's role! But don't do anything evil, or I'll get angry."
After reiterating her bottom line, the fox spirit's gaze fell on Tian Nanxing, who seemed to be deep in thought.
The puppy was now inside Alice's body, and the usually gentle Alice became very energetic, being the first to offer her opinion:
"Woof! We can use a slingshot to shoot at other people's windows like Senior Hyacinth did!"
"That's terrible, reject it!" "It will cause a lot of trouble and fright to others."
Everyone objected, and Tian Nanxing shrank back timidly, but judging from his expression, he was still thinking about some wicked idea.
"...Shall we go to the square and evacuate the crowd in advance?" Iris suggested tentatively.
"It's a good idea, but the strange guy appeared not in the plaza today, but rather..."
Everyone looked at the Chengdu Magic Holographic Topographic Map in front of them. The red dot indicating the appearance of the strange man wasn't in a densely populated commercial area or street, but rather in a very subtle location—
"Hmm? This location..."
Nightingale stared intently at the terrain around the red dot, pondered for a moment while rubbing her chin, and then suddenly her wolf tail stood on end.
"Wow! This location... this location is the association's affiliated academy!"
"In the school? That's terrible." The fox girl raised an eyebrow, her attitude suddenly becoming unusually calm.
This is not good. Wild monsters are not something we can control, which would severely restrict their activity areas.
How to complete the "villainous activities" while defeating the monster at the affiliated hospital suddenly became a huge problem for everyone.
"Speaking of which, I have a suggestion."
After thinking for a long time, it was still the nightingale that spoke.
Everyone looked at their solemn-faced companion, and saw an unwavering determination in her eyes.
"I heard that the affiliated hospital has a warehouse specifically for storing students' homework and exam papers."
"If we destroy that warehouse after we fight the monsters... wouldn't that make the students redo their homework?"
Everyone simultaneously showed expressions of horror.
Even Su Tianqing was included.
Although he knew that Lin Muyao always stored her homework in her own magical space, he never expected that she would come up with such a terrifying villainous proposal.
Lin Muyao has quite the villainous air about her! No wonder she's the magical girl I, Fox, have my eye on!
