Chapter 699 Fox doesn't know.
Later, on the villain's rooftop.
The Sagittarius Witch put down the black winged girl she was carrying. The winged girl shrank back timidly, not daring to look back at the oppressive Zodiac Witch.
"...So, this is why you came to find us?" Gray Wolf stood in front of Shuo Ye, reached out to help her up, his face showing four parts confusion, five parts tension, and one part indescribable strangeness.
"Yes...yes..."
The winged girl nodded in response.
After all, this wasn't the first time she'd come to the villain's rooftop to make contact—last time she tried to sneak in but was caught red-handed by Sagittarius. This time she'd learned her lesson and swaggered over to Sagittarius to explain her purpose, thinking that this way she probably wouldn't be dragged in...
"I didn't expect to be dragged in like this..." the winged girl lamented.
"Sigh, that's how the ones guarding outside are. When I asked last time, Fox said they weren't equipped with the new intelligent personality, so it's normal that they don't understand what you're saying."
Fenrir glanced at Sagittarius, who had already turned and left to return to his standby post, and shook his head helplessly.
"You're here to talk to Fox, right? She's still busy in the live stream right now. Why don't you wait in the living room for a bit?"
Grey Wolf pointed to the living room behind him, where several beanbag chairs were placed. The latest magical girl anime, "Magical Girl Luna ~Future City Adventure~," was playing on the big screen TV. Alice and Little Jack were curiously looking back at them.
Fox Girl's enthusiastic voice came from the live stream room, seemingly doing a special live stream program for the evening. It was hard to hear who she was talking to, but judging from the laughter, it seemed to be a relaxed and enjoyable live stream program.
"Oh, it's you again?"
Seeing that Sakuya had walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down, the Hellcat, who was lying on the sofa eating snacks, waved to the winged girl. Sakuya then sat up straight.
"What's wrong? Did you run into some trouble over there?"
"Eh... I haven't even said anything yet..." Sakuya was slightly surprised.
"If Hyacinth had time, she would have come by herself long ago. Why would she let you come looking for us?" Hellcat replied with a laugh. "Let me guess, could it be that Hyacinth is trapped in the cage created by the perpetrator and can't escape?"
The winged girl paused for a moment, then suddenly realized that the Hellcat's intuition seemed quite sharp, and she couldn't find anything to say for a while.
"Senior Hyacinth is indeed trapped, but... how should I put it, the place where she's trapped isn't a prison. Judging from the camera footage, it seems to be a place very similar to Rongcheng..."
Shuoye recounted everything that had just happened.
She recounted everything from Hyacinth's sudden disappearance to the reconnection of the Divine Stone communication and the bizarre scenes she witnessed to the people in front of her. Even Cheshire Rabbit, who was cowering on the side, became interested and sat down on the sofa to listen attentively.
After finishing explaining everything, Shuoye let out a long breath and continued:
"We want to pinpoint the exact location of the hyacinth, but we can't decipher the location information transmitted by Senior Fox's Divine Stone, so..."
"So you came here to ask me for help, right?"
The fox girl's voice suddenly rang out behind her. The winged girl subconsciously turned around 180 degrees to look at the Heart Moon Fox who was right in front of her. She was so frightened that she shrank back like a bird stick. Her turning around made Su Tianqing's hair stand on end.
No matter how many times I watch it, I still can't quite get used to the head movement of this owl-winged man. Su Tianqing thought to herself.
With Shuo Ye's explanation, Su Tianqing quickly understood Hyacinth's current situation, but couldn't help but pinch her chin and fall into deep thought.
"You mean you can only receive hyacinth signals when you point the terminal towards the sky?"
"Yeah, we tried a whole circle at first but it didn't work. Pointing to the sky was the clearest way." Shuoye nodded.
The swaying fox tail slowly came to a stop. After a brief pause, the fluffy tail began to sway again, but the amplitude was much smaller than before, as if it was still thinking about something.
...That's not right.
The skies above Chengdu have been repeatedly visited by astral behemoths. The rift that Garuda tore open last time has only healed temporarily. My mental world still covers the sky, so in theory, the signal should be evenly distributed throughout Chengdu by my mental world...
Why is the terminal pointing towards the sky? I just can't figure it out no matter how hard I try.
After much deliberation, Su Tianqing decided that she wanted to see things for herself, so she quickly grabbed Cat and Rabbit and headed towards the Hero Association.
"Please keep Alice company, doggy! We need to take care of some business first!"
Heart Moon Fox left behind these words, and before Fenrir could say anything, all he could see were the trails of their flying magic.
The gray wolf girl turned around and exchanged glances with Alice and Little Jack on the beanbag chair, then sighed helplessly, rubbing her forehead.
"Alas... I am a wolf..."
……
Hero Association Headquarters, Conference Room.
Qi Yun and Liu Xing sat by the window, each holding a mug and drinking the warm tea inside.
On the conference table sat a rather large communication terminal, with a cable connecting it to a temporary receiver outside the window, and the dish pointing straight up at the sky.
Several girls dressed in magical costumes were chattering around the terminal. The magic they unconsciously released formed a faint cognitive shield, making the superheroes watching nearby think they were talking about everyday topics like food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.
"Can you hear what they're saying?" Qi Yun asked listlessly.
Meteor shook his head.
"I don't have any magical talent, so how could I hear clearly? I even thought they were talking about which supermarket to go to tomorrow to buy new clothes and new merchandise."
"Magic is amazing. I wish we could both become magical girls," Qi Yun added.
Then the shooting star glanced at me a couple more times.
"...If we had a magical talent on top of our psychic abilities, our four-day field duty shifts might become six days a week, and we might even work year-round without a break."
"Ugh, can you please stop saying such terrifying things?" Qi Yun shuddered and decided to take back what she had just said to herself.
Unable to intervene, the heroes could only sit aside and chat idly.
The golden-haired fox girl in front of the terminal had already learned about the alternate dimension she was in through the communication with Hyacinth, and had also seen the general state of the alternate dimension through the video footage from the Divine Stone.
But the "Chengdu" that seemed to have remained unchanged for more than 20 years posed a challenge for Su Tianqing, who didn't know where to begin.
Su Tianqing felt that she should have learned more in-depth magic theories from Miss Inari, or pestered Red Rose to learn some basic magic expansion. That way, when faced with this inexplicable situation, she would at least have something to say to Hyacinth.
"Hiss... your condition..."
The fox spirit hesitated for a long time, wanting to speak but ultimately failing to glean any accurate information.
"Your location information indicates that you are in the center of Rongcheng City, but your location is a completely empty alternate dimension, so I cannot determine your exact location."
These words startled the hyacinth.
"What should I do? Will I ever have a chance to come back?"
"There is a chance, but I need to figure out what exactly this alternate dimension is all about."
While calming Hyacinth's anxiety, Su Tianqing squinted her eyes and pondered a solution.
...Perhaps, we'll have to resort to some unconventional methods.
