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

Chapter 693 Straight Hook Fishing for Hyacinths

In Nightingale's vision, someone needs to deliberately become a missing person.

This person needs to have a strong physique, the combat ability to fight back against any threat and advance the investigation, unique magical characteristics to provide location information, and, if possible, the ability to find, rescue, and shelter the missing persons...

"All things considered, only you, Hyacinth, possess all of these qualities simultaneously," Nightingale said.

"This...this...this isn't right!" Hyacinth tried to argue. "Didn't we already take care of the culprit? Even if I deliberately disappeared, where would we find a new perpetrator?"

"Just go and wait in that alley. I'm sure there's a 70% chance the new perpetrator will reappear there," Nightingale nodded confidently.

The hyacinth looked at the iris with pleading eyes.

Nightingale is the undisputed tactical core of the squad, as well as the most reliable idea generator. Her ideas and solutions have been tested countless times and are absolutely reliable, although the process may not be so pleasant.

This plan seems quite alarming.

"...Don't look at me, I can't do anything about it either." Iris shrugged and spread her hands.

Tian Nanxing and Shuo Ye were even more at a loss. The former was overjoyed and wanted to go with Feng Xinzi, but Nightingale rejected her by saying that "two people going together might cause trouble, so it's not possible." At this moment, she was huddled in a corner, playing on her phone in disappointment.

And so, unable to resist the nightingale's pleas, the hyacinth had no choice but to agree to this seemingly dangerous proposal—

Find some time to go to the alley where the disappearances occurred, stay there alone, until a new perpetrator appears and is actively pulled into the eerie space where the missing persons were staying.

But then Hyacinth thought about it again and realized that she really might be the kind of person who fits the definition in every way:

Although she hasn't been a magical girl for long, she's surprisingly resilient. She also has the Shadow of Stars, and her magical characteristics are quite obvious. The combination of a shield and a greatsword is also excellent for protecting someone.

But on the villain's rooftop, the style seems to change a bit:

"Are you sure Hyacinth and the others will come looking for you?"

Fenrir sat on the carpet, clutching the controller and waiting to respawn. He glanced back at the golden-haired fox girl on the sofa, his gaze sweeping over the group of people sitting around the TV on the carpet beside him, before finally looking at a character on the screen unleashing a powerful attack.

And the screams of the remaining people and the sounds of them frantically hitting the controller in an attempt to escape.

"Of course they'll come, it's just a matter of time," the fox girl said with a smile.

The screen displays the newly released magical girl action game, "Magical Fighter X," which supports up to six players in online or local battles. It features 1v1 and free-for-all modes, allowing players to control magical girl characters with different abilities and appearances to engage in exciting and thrilling battles.

The new work includes many new magical girls, both domestic and foreign. Hyacinth and Iris are two popular newcomers, naturally included. The former is an easy-to-use character with both offense and defense, while the latter is a high-attack, low-defense character for advanced players.

But the most eye-catching are the special characters [Hellcat] and [Cheshire Rabbit] released with the DLC, as well as the hidden character [Heart Moon Fox], which is unlocked after winning 10 consecutive matches in the Arena using the two DLC characters: she can summon all sorts of witch monsters to engage in fighting moves, which are very flashy.

As a rare video game enthusiast among the villains, Aurora naturally bought this popular game. In addition, her skills were indeed quite good from a human perspective. She unlocked the hidden character immediately and took it to the villain's rooftop to play happily with everyone.

Then he was brutally beaten by the three orcs, Cat, Rabbit, and Gray Wolf, for more than half an hour.

Cat chose Hellcat, and Rabbit chose Cheshire Rabbit, both playing themselves. Meanwhile, Gray Wolf chose Heart Moon Fox and frantically tried to summon various strange creatures in a corner, having a great time.

Alice and Jack, on the other hand, experienced firsthand what it means that "the essence of fighting games is positioning and timing," and that "choice" should be added as well.

Hellcat's reaction speed is fast enough to counterattack the instant it makes a move. Although Cheshire Rabbit's reaction speed is not as fast as the feline beastman beside him, it is much faster than Alice, who is purely human.

In addition, Rabbit is better at seizing opportunities. Once she catches a weakness, she can unleash a barrage of attacks to suppress the opponent. In some ways, she is more dangerous than Hellcat, who is a precise reaction machine.

To this end, Su Tianqing even specially set up a game live broadcast program for them, leaving the last empty seat for lucky viewers. Whoever could squeeze in would get to have a thrilling and exciting video game brawl with the five villains.

You ask why I'm not going out to play? Well, that's because I have important business to attend to.

[Mission: Undercurrents]

[Waiting for the hyacinths to come knocking, 0/1]

Putting everything else aside, the Secret Codex is really reliable in preventing spoilers. It doesn't give any extra information and leaves everything to the fox to guess. In the early stages of becoming a villain, I was often tricked by the Secret Codex's almost silent style.

At least in the past, I would never have known what "hyacinths coming to my door" meant. It was only now, after learning a lot of magic from Inari and gradually getting used to the villains' activities and developing my own unique style, that I was able to guess some clues.

It must be related to the missing persons case, Su Tianqing thought to herself.

I deliberately set a trap for her, making her kill the so-called "culprit" herself, thus diverting the trouble to her, so that we could have more fun.

As expected, Hyacinth fell for the trap on the spot, not only ruining the chance to continue the investigation herself, but also having to come to him herself to find a way to salvage the situation. He could even take the opportunity to propose some special additional conditions that prevent the broadcast from taking place...

"Ring ring ring~"

Just as I was thinking this, the Communication Divine Stone suddenly rang with a new call notification.

The fox spirit quickly picked up the divine stone beside her, opened the light screen, and looked at the contact name card displayed on it: [Hyacinth].

Su Tianqing's lips immediately curled up, and she quickly rubbed her face with her tail to calm herself down. She leaned back on the sofa and lazily opened her communication device.

Three heads appeared on the screen, discussing what words to use later. The left one was pale yellow, the right one was white, and the middle one was sky blue. Only the tops of their heads were visible, and it was hard to hear what they were discussing, but Su Tianqing could tell that the other side definitely had something to ask her.

"Miss Hyacinth, why are you calling me so late? What do you want to do?" the fox girl said with a smile.

The three heads on the other end jolted simultaneously. The two strategists moved away from the camera, and Hyacinth, with a slightly flushed face, appeared in the camera's field of vision, her eyes darting around, not daring to meet the smiling fox girl's gaze on the screen.

"Cough cough cough... Heart, Heart Moon Fox, don't think I'm—"

A hand wearing a pale yellow glove reached to Hyacinth's ear, pinched her ear, and whispered, "Didn't I tell you what to say?" Su Tianqing heard it clearly, but did not expose it.

Hyacinth's shy and hesitant expression was just too delicious. I couldn't wait to let Rabbit taste it too, but I was a little afraid that Rabbit would go crazy on the spot, so I decided against it.

After being given a lecture on conversation techniques by the nightingale, the hyacinth blushed even more and stammered:

"Well, well, well, we want to further investigate the exact location of the missing persons. We've come up with a plan, but we need your cooperation and help..."

"Are we free to meet tomorrow at noon?"

"Great! How about we set the location at the wetland park in the eastern suburbs of Chengdu?"

The fox spirit agreed without hesitation, her heart filled with the joy of her foxy scheme succeeding.

The hyacinth took the bait, didn't it?
