Chapter 249 Police dramas can't use magic.
"After a night of research, I've discovered this pattern!"
The next morning, Lin Muyao stood in front of a whiteboard and addressed the crowd.
As the number one fox-attracting monster in the Hyacinth team, Lin Muyao holds the title of moderator in Xin Yuehu's live stream room, and is fully aware of what is happening in the live stream room.
Although Li Kexin felt that this matter was quite subtle, she was not surprised since she was able to gather such important information.
Anyway, all three members of the Hyacinth Squad in Rongcheng are heavyweights, so it's not surprising that a lover of magical girls like Lin Muyao would appear.
Yes, universal love.
"Look at this."
Lin Muyao pressed the remote control in her hand, and a topographical map of the entire port city was projected onto the whiteboard, with a total of twelve red dots lit up.
"I carefully compared the map, and there are a total of twelve attractions in Shin-Tsuki-ko's video. If we add the Inari Memorial Hall, they form a pattern in the entire port city."
Everyone looked at the thirteen dots on the map and fell into deep thought.
"...Even if you say that, we still can't see what the pattern means," Nan Xiaofeng answered honestly.
"Yes, does it contain some special information?" Ye Yuxia, who was sitting next to me, chimed in.
As representatives of the Wheat Ear Squad, Ye Yuxia and Li Kexin attended the battle meeting this morning, intending to hear how the Hyacinth Squad planned to fight against Heart Moon Fox.
The pattern that Lin Muyao presented left everyone completely baffled and utterly clueless.
The next person to speak was Karin.
The girl pushed up her thick glasses on the bridge of her nose, and the mirror reflected a white light, making her seem to transform into Commander Ikari in an instant.
"Since we can't decipher this pattern for the time being, why don't we go to the site and investigate? Perhaps we can deduce more clues."
"That's right, that's what Karin and I think. What do you all think?"
Lin Muyao patted her chest confidently and addressed the crowd.
"If we split up and go in disguise as tourists to conduct our investigation, wouldn't we be able to perfectly avoid the factors that would cause panic among the public?"
"That's a good idea, I agree."
The girl sitting on the other side, who was also wrapped in bandages, spoke up, raising her free hand in agreement.
This is the true form of the magical girl Aquamarine, whose real name is Shi Xiaolan.
Because she was ambushed by Cheshire Rabbit and then hit by the Volcano Monster's breath, she is currently receiving treatment from the Hero Association and her teammates, which is why she looks like this.
"Then let's get started!"
Nan Xiaofeng stood up from his chair, turned around and spoke confidently to his companions behind him.
"This time, we must stop Xin Yuehu!"
……
[Bonus Mission: A Bountiful Rice Harvest]
[Additional condition: Obtain the Inari Fox Mask, 1/1, Completed]
[Bonus Reward: Unlocks a new form for the Heartmoon Wand]
Xin Yuehu sat on a rooftop somewhere in the port city, toying with the fox mask in her hand.
A mask with a distinctly neighboring country feel; the material is indiscernible to the touch, but it's likely some kind of wood... or perhaps hardened leather.
"I don't know why I, this fox, was made to collect this kind of thing..."
Su Tianqing murmured to herself, her fingers tracing the surface of the fox mask. The delicate touch of her fingertips brought a sense of peace to her heart.
Furthermore, the fact that it has not faded or deteriorated at all over the years, and the meticulous brushstrokes of each stroke, makes one marvel at the effort that was put into its creation.
With its white background, red accents, and gold trim, this exquisite piece evokes the image of a magical girl from over a decade ago wearing it in a fierce battle.
All of this is frozen in the fox mask, which witnessed the entire process of Inari's birth and retirement. It was treasured by people, but now it lies quietly in their hands...
Does this mean that wearing the mask will unlock a completely new form for this fox?
Su Tianqing tried placing it in front of her face and gently putting it on.
The mask was a little big, but it was enough to cover my face. My vision through the eye openings wasn't too restricted, and I could see everything clearly.
But there was no new form as I had imagined, nor any unexpected magical effects; it was just an ordinary mask.
Su Tianqing obediently took off the mask, held it in her hands for a while, and quickly lost interest in it.
Hey, Secret Codex! I went through all that trouble to get my hands on this thing, so tell me how to unlock the new form? Do I need something else to unlock it?
There was no answer, nor any new quest chain; only the quest rewards lay quietly on the pages.
The golden-haired fox summoned the Heart Moon Magic Wand in its hand.
Before she could even check the wand's condition, a quest that popped up in the grimoire immediately caught her attention:
【Task Update】
[Task: Inari Form]
[Collecting exhibits from the Inari Memorial Hall, 0/13]
[Reward: Unleash the true potential of the Inari mask]
uh-huh?
Confess! Secret Codex, did you specifically arrange this task because you saw my big movie shooting plan?
The secret manual didn't answer, which made the golden fox so angry that its ears were crooked, and the familiar kicked the secret manual twice in anger.
Even though it was just an Inari mask without any potential for release, he could still discern some clues from the subtle changes in the Heart Moon Wand.
The magic power was greatly enhanced, and the number of monsters summoned each day increased from 3 to 5. The wand's inherent abilities also unknowingly gained this additional ability:
【Monster Retrieval: Retrieve monsters or witches in a summoned state, and temporarily gain their corresponding abilities】
New skill!
Literally speaking, could this fox gain combat power by recycling monsters?
This can be considered to make up for the biggest weakness of this fox, which is that the main body has almost zero combat power, and no longer completely rely on the army of monsters and witches or cats and rabbits as guards!
Well, I was planning to stage a series of major robberies in Hong Kong anyway, so it's not a bad idea to just let things happen naturally.
"But if it's just about letting the cat steal the exhibits, that would be completely boring."
"...It's time to begin! Fox's Werewolf Plan!"
Su Tianqing put the secret manual out of her mind and casually hung the Inari mask on her forehead.
Always wear a mask before committing a crime! This is a classic trope in crime films! Even cunning robbers are no exception!
When it comes to crime films, flashy magic doesn't do them justice. If unscientific elements like magic appear during filming, it completely loses the essence of a crime film.
Guns! Firefights! Car chases and a furniture store battle! This is what a true crime thriller should be! This is exactly what I want to see!
"...Hyacinth has also started conducting investigations throughout the port city."
Having gathered relevant information from the Stargazer Familiar, Su Tianqing unfolded a map of the port city on the magical light screen in front of her, pointing out several points of light scattered throughout the city.
The Hyacinth Team started their investigation from the southwest, the Wheat Team from the east, and the local Aquamarine Team from the north to the south, heading straight for the various scenic spots they had specifically shown in the video yesterday.
It seems they're quite clever; they know they can't be too scattered or too grouped together. But if they continue to use magic so recklessly... it would disrupt the fundamental logic of a crime thriller.
"In that case, let's teach them a lesson tonight and explain the rules to them while we're at it."
Su Tianqing murmured to herself, waving her wand to reveal the city map in front of her and activating magical communication.
"Kitty, Bunny, take the little gray wolf to the place we agreed on yesterday."
"The grand heist in Hong Kong begins today!"
