Chapter 520 Bai Ling's Inspiration
Chengdu Heroes Association Headquarters.
In the publicity department's photography studio, Hyacinth sat upright in front of the live broadcast camera, her expression serious, staring intently at the teleprompter next to the lens.
"cough……"
With a soft cough, the camera started rolling. Hyacinth took a deep breath, forcing herself to stay alert, and read the prepared script into the lens—
Good morning, citizens of Chengdu.
"I am Hyacinth, a registered magical girl of the Chengdu Hero Association. I would like to sincerely apologize to all citizens for the unexpected situation that occurred last night."
The three members of the Iris Flower trio stood next to the flight crew.
The nightingale looked up to observe the hyacinth's expression as she read the manuscript, the iris looked down at the electronic version of the manuscript in her hand, and the arum sat obediently next to the staff member, wagging its tail and playing with the arum standee that had not yet been released to the public.
After reading the script and finishing the recording, the four of them huddled together and looked at each other. Hyacinth let out a helpless sigh.
"Damn it! That Heart Moon Fox deliberately tricked us with the Piano Freak, she's so wicked!"
Hyacinth clenched her fists, filled with righteous indignation, her teeth itching with anger, wishing she could rush to the villain's rooftop immediately to grab that golden-haired fox and rip his tail.
"Come on, you went over there yelling and charging down to chop, and the rest of us couldn't even stop you in time."
The nightingale shrugged and sighed.
"Huh? Did you call out to me at the time?"
"I can testify, woof! Nightingale tried to stop you, woof!" Tian Nanxing raised her hand in response, delivering the final blow to Feng Haizi.
Hyacinth's face flushed red and then paled. After hesitating for a few seconds, she shook her head, shaking off the last vestiges of her rebuttal, and changed the subject:
"In short, we must be very careful in the future. After Xin Yuehu retrieved the piano freak yesterday, she will definitely make extensive use of that sound wave reflection property. We must not rush in."
After devising their primary tactics for facing monsters in the future, the Hyacinth Squad disbanded on the rooftop of the Hero Association.
But although it was called a disbandment, only Wang Xiao went to visit Aurora, leaving the three of them standing at the subway entrance staring at each other.
"...Don't you two have classes today?" Lin Muyao asked curiously.
"It's Sunday today," Nan Xiaofeng reminded him.
Yesterday, we spent the whole day taking the winged Sasha around, and then there was the piano monster ambush battle in the evening, which left everyone feeling a bit tired, both physically and mentally.
Aside from Wang Xiaowang, this Bernese Mountain Dog girl seemed to have inexhaustible energy. She ran to the Hero Association early in the morning to look around and play, and her cute wagging tail made the heroes interact with her.
Fortunately, her roommate Aurora was able to keep her in check; otherwise, Nan Xiaofeng couldn't imagine how she would have been able to restrain this big dog.
"Should we play something today?" Nan Xiaofeng asked.
"How about we go home and catch up on some sleep?" Lin Muyao suggested.
"Let's find a place to sit down, have a cup of tea, and read a book. It's rare for everyone to be up so early," Hua Ling calmly suggested.
While discussing where to go later, the upright trio strolled along the sidewalk.
It was foggy today, especially in the morning. The fog in Chengdu reduced visibility to less than 50 meters. It's much better now, but distant buildings are still shrouded in fog, appearing blurry and indistinct.
"Hey, speaking of which, have you guys seen that movie?"
Nan Xiaofeng bought soy milk, fried dough sticks, and tea eggs from a street vendor to make up for the breakfast he missed this morning, and said to the two people beside him while munching on the fried dough sticks.
"What movie is it? Tell me! We've seen plenty of movies." Lin Muyao sipped her soy milk and asked back, spreading her hands.
"It's... I think it's a horror movie made in America. It's about a group of people who are surrounded by monsters in a supermarket on a foggy day. When the fog clears up, magical girls have already defeated all the monsters—that's the kind of movie it is."
"I've heard of it. It must have been a movie from several years ago. I think it was called... 'Escape from the Fog'? Or something else. I can't quite remember."
When it comes to memory, Hua Ling is the best. While smoothing her scarf, she said the movie title, and Nan Xiaofeng nodded repeatedly.
"Yeah, yeah, this movie. I thought it was super scary the first time I saw it! How about we watch it together today?"
"That sounds pretty exciting, but I don't really like horror movies," Lin Muyao said frankly, nodding her head.
"Me too..." Hua Ling replied with a wry smile.
Nan Xiaofeng didn't give up, but just as she was about to continue recommending horror movies, a magical fluctuation emanating from her side made the three of them turn around at the same time and look at the white ferret spirit that had appeared out of thin air.
"Whoa!... Xiao Feng, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be sleeping in at home at this time?"
Bai Ling looked around at the morning street scene in surprise and said to Nan Xiaofeng.
Nan Xiaofeng put her hands on her hips, looking suspicious.
"Bai Ling, where did you go? I didn't see you all day yesterday. Did you secretly go to play with Miss Yue Tianxin?"
"You idiot, Xiao Feng! I was on my way to take care of important business!"
The white ferret flew to Nan Xiaofeng's side, stretched out its paw, and tapped Nan Xiaofeng's shoulder a few times.
Then he plopped down on her shoulder and looked at Hua Ling beside him.
"Speaking of which, Karin, have you finished taking care of that matter?"
"Yes, I've sent you all the compiled information. Bai Ling, you should be able to see it by opening the Divine Scripture Stone."
"Well done, Flower Bell! I knew you were more reliable than Little Wind!" The white ferret elf chuckled and gave Flower Bell a thumbs up.
Nan Xiaofeng took a bite of the fried dough stick with a blank expression, then suddenly realized what he was doing and quickly asked:
"What did you send Bai Ling? She's not asking you to do something weird again, is she? Hey Bai Ling, peel an egg for me."
"You little rascal, what kind of talk is that? I'm just fulfilling my duty as a stargazer, do you understand?"
As she spoke, Bai Ling reached out her paw to take the tea egg that Nan Xiaofeng handed over, and in a few quick movements peeled out a perfect egg and handed it back.
After quickly browsing the messages on the Divine Scripture Stone, Bai Ling felt that the matter was settled, so she told Nan Xiaofeng and Lin Muyao about the matter she had asked Hua Ling to investigate yesterday.
Nan Xiaofeng wasn't surprised by Bai Ling's behavior, and Lin Muyao and Hua Ling didn't say anything either.
After all, Bai Ling developed her career in the same way. Everyone thought to themselves.
But when she turned her attention to Sasha, Nan Xiaofeng was indeed somewhat surprised.
"Sasha is indeed very talented. She has amazing control over magic, but I think... we don't really know her that well yet."
As the team leader, Nan Xiaofeng summarized.
"Sasha is rather reluctant to talk to us about these things. We spent the whole day yesterday, and she didn't actually say much about her past, but at least we got a pretty good idea of her personality," Hua Ling added.
The group had just reached the intersection, and while waiting for the red light, Nan Xiaofeng gave a summary:
"I think we should put this matter on hold. If you, Bai Ling, go directly to contact Sasha in the near future, it might even have the opposite effect."
"Xiaoyue said the same thing. I thought about it for a while and realized we shouldn't jump to conclusions so quickly," Bai Ling nodded and said helplessly.
"So what do we do next? Just pretend this never happened?" Lin Muyao asked curiously.
The group exchanged glances, and just as they were about to fall silent, Bai Ling spoke up:
"No, I promised Xiaoyue I'd get Sasha on my side within three days. If I fail..."
"Who told you to make such a boast! Go and apologize to Xiaoyue properly!" Nan Xiaofeng wasn't going to tolerate Bai Ling and directly grabbed the mink ear.
Hua Ling covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
"Then, I'll find out more about Sasha myself." Karin made up her mind.
