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

Chapter 695 Fully Armed Scouts

noon the next day.

Tian Nanxing stood blankly in the room, looking at the huge pile of objects on the ground that had been stacked into a small mountain.

As a large breed, Bernese Mountain Dogs don't have the same level of energy and exercise needs as Huskies or Border Collies, but they are just as destructive when it comes to destroying things. Even Tian Nanxing, a dog owner from the Bernese Mountain Dog family, couldn't help but be momentarily stunned by the exaggerated scene before him.

How long will it take to dismantle this?

Dog Girl turned her head and glanced at Hyacinth, who had finally pulled everything out of the magic space, Iris, who was carefully counting things in a notebook, and Sakuya, who was curiously observing a small cube with her magical hand at the tip of her wing. Suddenly, she couldn't understand her teammates.

"Woof, what are all these? How come you brought back so much stuff from hunting?" Tian Nanxing asked the nightingale curiously, wagging its tail as it walked around the small hill of objects.

The latter shrugged, not rushing to answer, but instead reached out and took the small cube from Shuo Ye's hand.

"You can't just play with these things, especially this one. If you're not careful, you might blow this room to the sky."

"Woof?!"

Just as it was about to pick one up from the pile of objects, the Arisaema hurriedly stopped, tucked its tail in, and took a half-step back with its ears tucked in, looking very nervous.

"Eh... is it really that powerful...?" Sakuya was clearly surprised that the small cube he had casually picked up was so powerful, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"Yes, all of these things were obtained from Xinyuehu. Do you think they're dangerous or not?"

The nightingale said with a hint of helplessness, and then glanced at the hyacinth.

These things were taken from Xin Yuehu. I kept hinting to her, "Don't take too much. These things don't look like they're free." But Hyacinth didn't seem to understand my winks at all. When she heard Xin Yuehu say, "You can take all of these things as you like," she stuffed them all back.

"Forget it, I'll definitely bring up Xin Yuehu when she settles all her old scores anyway. I should think about how to deal with Fenrir's relentless pursuit then," Nightingale thought.

"This little cube is called the [Disposable Shelter Generator]. Heartmoon Fox says it can create a shelter similar to the Mindscape World for three days, and it's very safe to stay inside."

"The downside is that it absolutely cannot be used indoors; it will tear the room apart."

"Oh my god, this sounds like the perfect camping device!" Sakuya's eyes lit up.

"And this, the [Temporary Mana Replenisher], can instantly restore more than half of your mana after you run out. It comes in grape and orange flavors."

These items are categorized and placed in specific areas of the magic space, and then carefully labeled with sticky notes so that you can immediately know what each item is for when you need it.

Tian Nanxing and Shuo Ye then joined in the sorting work, and Iris, who arrived later, also came to help. Even Bai Ling pulled Yue Tianxin over to join them.

It took a group of people and two mascots more than two hours to finish tidying up.

"A total of 120 items, including 15 offensive items, 50 defensive items, and the rest are all kinds of functional items."

Nightingale carefully checked the data recorded in the notebook, and after confirming that everything was correct, she solemnly handed the notebook, which recorded the function and storage location of all the props, to Hyacinth.

"This notebook is for you, Hyacinth. You must come back alive."

"Waaaah... Hyacinth..." "This parting must be..."

"What are you guys doing? I'm investigating a missing person case, not an astral behemoth. It's not that dangerous," Hyacinth retorted expressionlessly, while lightly tapping the head of the feigning-crying Arum.

"But I still have a very bad feeling about this!"

The white ferret flew to the girls and danced excitedly as it spoke.

"Even with Xin Yuehu's many tools to assist you, I think it's still too dangerous for you, Hyacinth, to fight alone against an enemy whose true form you don't even know."

"We have no other choice. Every day the missing become more dangerous for them." Hyacinth was indignant and spoke with righteous indignation. There was not a trace of fear of the unknown in her eyes, only the firm will of a magical girl.

Everything is ready; all that's needed is the perfect moment to enter.

After dinner, Nan Xiaofeng went to the vicinity of the crime scene alone.

She was dressed casually in summer clothes—a short-sleeved shirt, fitted culottes, a simple bag slung over her shoulder, and a pair of Bluetooth earphones hanging from her ears, looking like an ordinary student who had just finished evening self-study.

Thanks to the power of the Heart Moon Fox's props, Nan Xiaofeng concealed all her magical aura. Even when transformed into Hyacinth, she wouldn't be seen as a magical girl; people would just think of her as an ordinary girl cosplaying.

[Shhh... Calling North Wind One, Nanshan is in position and monitoring your real-time location]

A faint radio focusing noise came through the headphones, followed by a voice so clear it sounded like someone was speaking right next to my ear.

This is a low-latency special communication channel from S-class hero [Electromagnetic] Qiyun.

Nan Xiaofeng turned his head and glanced at the security camera in front of the shop across the street, as well as the Skynet camera at the intersection in the distance. He could vaguely sense a gaze coming from those cameras, which must be some S-class hero, [Thousand Eyes], providing all-round, blind-spot-free surveillance and observation.

Uncle Thousand Eyes' psychic abilities can be interfered with by the magic unconsciously released around him. Although he can overcome this when he gets serious, it is still too much of a burden for a hero of his age, and he cannot keep a close watch for long periods of time.

He's really had a tough time... I'd better finish this quickly. Nan Xiaofeng thought to himself.

Not far away was the alley entrance where the blockade had been temporarily lifted. The Hero Association had already controlled the area within 500 meters of the perimeter, completely prohibiting unauthorized personnel from approaching. At this moment, the area around the alley entrance was eerily quiet, with only the faint hum of the transformer on the utility pole being heard.

Based on the summary and analysis, the three disappearances occurred around the same time, all after evening self-study and after meals at school. However, no one knows how to "trigger" the disappearances. The only information Xin Yuehu can provide is that invisible, ethereal hand.

"Hiss... Huff..."

Nan Xiaofeng took a deep breath, keeping her magic from leaking out and maintaining her hyacinth state, and stepped into the alley under everyone's gaze.

The expected sudden disappearance did not occur.

Nan Xiaofeng calmly looked at the dim alley in front of him, instinctively wanting to spread his magic power to perceive and observe his surroundings, but he was forcibly suppressed by the prop given to him by Xin Yuehu, which prevented him from breaking the bandage.

Don't be nervous, North Wind One, keep going in, we're watching you.

The nightingale's voice came through the earphones. Nan Xiaofeng mustered her courage and cheered herself up, pretending that nothing had happened as she stepped inside.

One meter, five meters, ten meters.

Nan Xiaofeng walked slowly, even a little slow, but he was almost at the exit of the alley and still didn't sense anything amiss.

Was the perpetrator of the disappearance case really eliminated by that iris shot? And have those missing persons truly vanished without a trace?

Feeling uneasy, Nan Xiaofeng gradually slowed down her walking pace, a nameless worry rising in her heart.

Almost the instant this worry arose in his mind, Nan Xiaofeng heard an unfamiliar female voice behind him:

Hello, hyacinth.

Nan Xiaofeng was certain that she had never heard this voice before, but she instinctively felt that the voice gave her a very "familiar" feeling.

But who can see through the concealment devices and props set up by Xin Yuehu, and at the same time see through their own cognitive concealment?

The girl turned around and looked in the direction of the sound.

……

Chengdu Heroes Association Headquarters.

S-class hero Qianmu suddenly frowned—the cameras in front of him, which were included in his psychic vision, were instantly shrouded in interference from the snowflakes, and no matter which angle he switched to, he could not see the scene in the alley.

"North Wind One! North Wind One! Please respond!"

Nightingale quickly grabbed the microphone and shouted loudly into the communication channel, but only a harsh hissing sound answered her.

The interference lasted for several seconds.

When the surveillance footage returned and the noise in the headphones disappeared, the alley was deserted.

Hyacinths... have disappeared.
