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

Chapter 216 The Fox's Rules and Strange Tales

What are the zoo ghost stories?

At noon, in the central restaurant of the zoo, Nan Jiayu curiously asked the golden fox next to her.

Su Tianqing was taking small bites of her food when she heard the cat girl's question and was about to answer it when the rabbit girl across the table spoke first:

"It started with a post on a forum where a netizen created a series of zoo rules. Many people began to deduce the hidden information in these rules, which brought a chilling feeling upon closer inspection."

"Hmm... is it like a horror story?" Nan Jiayu couldn't imagine what it was, so she quickly asked.

Fox and Rabbit exchanged a glance and, in perfect unison, searched for a compilation of web pages about zoo ghost stories on their phones, then showed them to the catgirl in front of them.

Nan Jiayu read it from beginning to end and said with great admiration:

"It's quite interesting. It feels like this zoo is entangled by some kind of powerful magic, but no one knows what it is. They are just acting according to the 'rules' of the ghost stories, which brings a huge sense of insecurity."

"Right? I thought it was amazing when I first saw it too." Su Tianqing smiled and wagged her tail.

"By utilizing a complete set of rules, coupled with many fragmented and one-sided perspectives, and the conflicts and fragmented wholeness between various different rules, a bizarre and chilling atmosphere is created—this is the essence of rule-based ghost stories!"

"This should be called... [The Unspeakable Unknown Terror], right?" Nan Jiayu tried to give her own summary.

"It's somewhat similar, and it's really interesting, so I planned to design this zoo trip for Hyacinth and the others, so that they could experience it for themselves."

The golden fox raised its tail, put its hands on its hips, and straightened its flat chest.

"Let's make that our goal then. I think it's quite interesting." Nan Jiayu nodded in satisfaction, her cat tail standing up high.

"But it doesn't seem very fun if we just watch Hyacinth and the others solve the mystery on their own, so I'm thinking of having the three of us join in and play the role of 'hunters' of this rule-based mystery!"

After speaking, Su Tianqing looked at the tiger enclosure, which was surrounded by a curtain wall, and glanced at the big tiger sleeping in the middle of the grass.

Nan Jiayu also glanced over, but the tiger hurriedly got up and left the moment its eyes met the cat girl's, as if it had seen something very terrifying.

The catgirl raised an eyebrow and sighed helplessly.

.

To create a scene reminiscent of a supernatural tale, a massive magical barrier would naturally need to be carefully constructed throughout the entire amusement park.

"So we absolutely have to visit the whole zoo today!"

"Ah... Tianqing, your stamina is sometimes strangely abundant..."

Xia Taotao scratched her rabbit ears with a wry smile, and Nan Jiayu shrugged, but still followed in Fox's footsteps.

Our group was strolling along the shore of Swan Lake. The lake reflected the shimmering water, and the swans rested on the surface. Their elegant postures attracted tourists to stop and take pictures with their phones and cameras.

"This is a perfect ambush spot for you, Bunny."

Su Tianqing glanced at the wooden cabins across the lake and said.

The three glanced at the wooden house and each imagined what might happen:

In the pitch-black zoo, even the magnificent Swan Lake, beautiful during the day, appeared dark and eerie, except for a wooden cabin by the lake where a light, symbolizing safety, shone.

The lost girls rushed inside as if they had found saviors, only to discover a note in a corner of the cabin containing entirely new rules—

"And isn't the fear they feel because of this exactly what you like, Bunny?"

"what……"

Xia Taotao stared blankly at the golden fox beside her who was delivering a terrifying conversation with a bright smile, then glanced at the wooden house across the lake, and a crescent-shaped smile gradually appeared on her face, just like when she was the Cheshire Rabbit.

"Hehehe... Then I can lie in ambush outside the cabin and bring profound fear to the magical girls who break the rules..."

"Oops, sorry, I got lost in my own world... I'm sorry..."

Suddenly realizing that she wasn't Cheshire Rabbit yet, Xia Taotao swallowed hard, her face flushed red, and she almost shrank into a ball.

But the rabbit girl's gaze toward the golden fox became even more filled with reverence.

Following Fox Fox has brought me unprecedented joy! I, Rabbit, have decided to follow Fox Fox to the death!

Nan Jiayu and Su Tianqing also noticed the rabbit girl's reaction. They exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Tao Tao... she really is a good candidate to be a villainous magical girl. Su Tianqing thought to herself.

While continuing to stroll along Swan Lake and set up the barrier, the familiars were also busy, frantically flipping through secret manuals and organizing tools in the magic space, making full preparations for the possible plans for tonight.

While browsing through the secret manual, they also made sure to collect the large number of items and quest rewards they had recently accumulated.

The Crimson Rose's Desperate Incident, the Little Fish's Starry Shadow Form, as well as spot-the-difference and exploration missions, have resulted in a collection of quite a few interesting items.

But there's still one task left to complete—

[Mission: Exploring the Mystery of the Red Rose]

Search for the red rose and uncover the secrets of the starlight's shadow.

The task of unlocking the Secret Codex Shop page is still not completed. It seems that I will only have a chance to talk to Senior Red Rose in detail after her vacation ends.

Using the points she accumulated from completing tasks, Su Tianqing did indeed buy quite a few interesting items in the shop:

"First of all, this one!"

The golden fox pulled a small badge from under her skirt, which had a fox radish logo printed on it.

"What is this?" Nan Jiayu asked curiously, tilting her head.

"This is my latest masterpiece, the [Super Powerful Magic Sealing Barrier ProMaxPlus]!"

Even Su Tianqing herself couldn't quite keep her composure when she uttered a name that was rather long and strange.

"In short, this thing can prevent magical girls from using magic throughout the entire zoo, and combined with my mental world, they will have to obediently follow the zoo's rules!"

"What an amazing gadget..." "Just hearing about it..."

Both cats and rabbits were amazed by Su Tianqing's unfathomable strength.

But Fox often pulled out some wonderful little gadgets from under her skirt, and the two of them were used to it, so they stopped bothering with it.

"Where should we go next? The monkey mountain or the African enclosure?"

"The koala enclosure looks great too, I want to see the koalas."

"Let's take the mini-train from the Africa Zone to Giraffe Square! We can see the koalas while we're there!"

The three hit it off immediately and embarked on their journey.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the zoo, Nan Xiaofeng was leaning on the railing with great interest, offering a leaf to the giraffe in front of her.

"Oh, it ate it!"

"It can even roll it with its tongue, how clever!"

"..."

Li Kexin also grabbed a branch full of tender leaves, stood there stunned for a long time, and then tentatively brought the branch towards the approaching giraffe.

Watching it eat the leaves, Li Kexin smiled.

It's quite fun to hang out with friends.

Come to think of it, can I really consider myself friends with Nan Xiaofeng and the others?

...Probably.

"Senior Kexin, if you feed them all the leaves at once, you'll miss out on a lot of interaction opportunities."

Hua Ling smiled and moved closer to Li Kexin, speaking to her senior.

"Look, by picking leaves like this, you can interact with them many times..."

"Oh, I see. Let me try... Hey! It took them all!"

The girls' laughter rose and fell, seemingly blending with the sound of the miniature train in the African park.
