The villainous magical girl's daily mission is to find fault.

Chapter 257 The Meeting Session of Werewolf Game

"We can't just sit here and wait to die! We must increase our firepower!"

In the afternoon, at the headquarters of the Port City Heroes Association.

Hyacinth sat dejectedly at the conference table and spoke to Cobra, an S-class hero with a serious expression, not far away.

Aquamarine and Red Zircon gave awkward, wry smiles, but they wholeheartedly agreed with Hyacinth's statement.

In the morning, after receiving Hyacinth's request for support, he immediately took Red Zircon to provide assistance and even drove a Hero Association van to pick them up.

Red zircon has a driver's license and is legally driving.

But the Cheshire Rabbit's terrifying firepower left everyone present quite frightened—the heavy firepower of large-caliber shotguns, heavy machine guns, and even rocket launchers was something that pistols and submachine guns could not withstand.

"...So, Xin Yuehu and the others somehow got their hands on these military-grade weapons, right?"

The stern, veteran hero stared intently at the items on the conference table:

The SCAR-H heavy assault rifle, a weapon Nightingale seized from Fenrir, the gray wolf magical girl.

Under normal circumstances, it fires 7.62mm full-power bullets, and the bullets simulated by magic also have enormous power, making it a powerful weapon.

Although it can't compare to the Cheshire Rabbit's heavy machine gun and rocket launcher, it's still a fairly heavyweight weapon.

"Yeah, you have no idea what Cheshire Rabbit pulled out today! A rocket launcher! A rocket launcher that big!"

Hyacinth was excited, gesturing wildly, wishing she could show the scene on the big screen.

The Wheat Ear Squad remained silent, feeling slightly relieved that they hadn't run into Heart Moon Fox today.

"You don't need to worry about that. The association is already allocating military-grade firepower to you, which is expected to arrive tonight."

"In short, today's operation was safe and sound. We will arrange for people to investigate the situation inside the mall. Thank you all for your hard work today."

Cobra spoke calmly, without much expression, and after exchanging pleasantries, went to arrange the distribution of weapons.

The group sat around the conference table, exchanging glances.

"So next..." Aquamarine was the first to speak.

As a local team from the port city, following the default rule that resident teams speak first, Aquamarine spoke first:

"It's time to discuss what Xin Yuehu called the 'traitor'."

“…………”

Everyone remained silent, each knowing the truth in their hearts.

According to the note that Shingetsuko left for everyone at the start of this bomb defusal game, there is a traitor among the magical girls, disguised as her familiar.

"Aquamarine, you mean you want to find out who the mole is in this meeting, right?" Green Ivy said.

"That's right."

Aquamarine nodded, agreeing with Green Ivy's statement.

"Our operation today should have been completely concealed, so why did Hyacinth and the others have to be ambushed?"

"How could Heart Moon Fox know our reconnaissance location? Not to mention we launched a three-pronged attack!"

"Alright, let's discuss it then and see if we can find the mole."

The essential meeting and speaking segment in Werewolf is about to begin!

……

The first to speak were the Wheat Ear Squad, who were investigating in another location. Since the four of them were only there to scout the area and did not attempt to dismantle the barrier, they did not provide any valuable clues.

Based on what Mai Sui and Lu Luo said, no one in the group did anything particularly strange, so the matter was temporarily put on hold.

The Wheat Squad was not ruled out as a suspect, but it was not confirmed that there was a mole within their ranks.

"Next up is our side."

Aquamarine glanced back at the rest of her team.

The red zircon, holding a glass of water and lost in thought, the peridot, quietly observing the people around it, and the ever-silent amethyst.

"My situation is a little complicated."

"Initially, we planned to conduct the investigation in the afternoon, so we were all waiting and resting at the association headquarters. Who knew that we would suddenly receive a request for help from Hyacinth, so Red Zircon, the only one with a driver's license, and I drove over to help."

"Yes, the four of us have always been together. At headquarters, Amethyst and Peridot have also stayed together. We have never leaked any information."

The group looked at each other in silence.

Especially Zi Ying Shi, who was already taciturn, was now being stared at by many eyes, looking quite flustered, yet unsure of what to say.

"So, everyone has at least been in pairs during this period, right?"

Hyacinth stroked her chin, pondered for a long time, and then said,

"I am just like the Iris Nightingale and the others. We have always been together, so it is impossible for me to pass on the message to Heart Moon Fox and the others."

"How exactly did Kexin Yuehu know about our actions? Since she herself said that no one can use magic, it can't be that she broke the rules first and used magic to detect our movements, right?"

The iris, who had been silent until now, asked her own question, pinching her chin as if in deep thought.

But this isn't Xinyuehu's style. This golden fox has always been very rule-abiding and a person of her word.

In particular, she was very honest in today's firefight and did not use magic to hinder herself, nor did she summon monsters as usual, which can be said to be very disciplined.

"...Unless, one of us is lying."

The speaker is a nightingale.

The words were startling, and everyone was momentarily stunned, their gazes towards each other filled with suspicion.

Seeing that things were not quite right, Aquamarine quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Nightingale is right, but we can't afford to be suspicious now; we must cooperate."

"Yes, since we can't find out who the mole is today, let's put it aside for now and discuss it again after tomorrow's operation."

That's all for today, meeting adjourned!

Everyone left, and Nightingale put away the weapons she had captured from the table, holding them in her hands and examining them carefully.

"Nightingale, you didn't have to be so blunt just now."

"Yes, everyone is aware of this, but no one says it out loud."

The irises and hyacinths did not leave; they sat beside the nightingale and spoke to her.

"I don't think it's necessary to go through all that trouble. Catching the mole is a very serious matter, and we can't afford any mistakes."

The nightingale tilted its head and spoke its innermost thoughts.

"And don't you two think that Xin Yuehu's actions this time are highly suspicious!"

"Oh? How is it suspicious?"

Hyacinth raised an eyebrow and said.

Iris and I had been suppressed by firepower. After heavy machine guns came large-caliber shotguns, then automatic rifles and grenades. It felt like a platoon's worth of fire was pouring down on us.

They didn't even have time to pay attention to Xinyuehu's actions.

"I just dismantled the underground barrier node. The magic of that node was very strange, and the barrier structure was extremely intricate. It used a small amount of magic to construct an exceptionally precise barrier, which is completely unlike Xin Yuehu's style!"

Hyacinth paused for a moment, then narrowed her eyes.

"Now that you mention it... Xin Yuehu's barrier style really is bold and unrestrained. Why would she use such a sophisticated structure this time? Is it to prevent us from dismantling it?"

"That doesn't seem like it either. Although that barrier is sophisticated, its total amount of magic power is insufficient. It can be easily broken with a large amount of magic power."

As they looked at each other, a dangerous thought suddenly popped into Hyacinth's mind.

"I mean... could it be that this barrier wasn't actually set up by Xin Yuehu at all...?"

"But who else but her would set up so many strange barriers in the underground of the port city? No one would have the time or energy to spend so much magic to do these things."

"Forget it, better safe than sorry. Let's think about what to do tomorrow."

Hyacinth chuckled, put her hands on her hips, and changed the subject.

The wind in the port city was a little chilly, as if winter had arrived overnight.
