Chapter 712 A new adventure, of course, requires the hyacinth's help.
Su Tianqing felt as if she had found a very important key that could greatly improve the cumbersome nature of the villains' activities:
Since I am the villain, why should I go through all the trouble of doing the good guy's work?
Thinking about it carefully, if I, the fox, usually finish the tasks that Hyacinth and the others could have done themselves before Hyacinth and the others, it will inevitably lead to a decrease in their daily attendance rate in the long run, which will greatly dampen the enthusiasm of the righteous faction and may even have a negative impact on my own villainous activities.
A villain must be a villain. He can steadfastly protect the masses in important matters, but in everyday matters, he should act as if he wants to have fun and not actually consider himself a half-good guy.
"So, when Hyacinth goes to the other dimension for the second time to investigate, we can't just rush up to help her, or we'll miss out on a lot of fun."
Later, in the villain's rooftop meeting room, the golden-haired fox girl spoke earnestly to her companions.
The pink-haired bunny pinched its chin and nodded repeatedly in approval, then lowered its head and wrote a few lines in its notebook.
Su Tianqing remembered that this notebook seemed to have been handmade by Tutu herself, with a sketch of the fox printed on the cover, the title "Fox Language" and the subtitle "Fox Classic: Old Testament".
"What are you writing, Bunny?" Fenrir curiously leaned forward to take a look. Just then, Cheshire Bunny finished writing in his notebook and let the gray wolf, Alice, and Jack come over to watch and read it aloud.
"Chapter 17, Section 7..."
The fox said: “Look, the hyacinth has gone to that other dimension a second time to investigate what is happening there. We must not rush to help her now; if we do, many joyful things will surely leave us.”
A brief silence.
Everyone turned to look at the golden-haired fox girl sitting at the tea table, sipping her tea, and felt as if a dazzling halo was shining behind her head.
"In any case! We can't go directly to help Hyacinth and the others today!"
The abstract question of whether the fox spirit is a second-generation descendant of Ye Xiaomei or a reincarnation of Ye Xiaomei was put aside, and the villainous leader, Xin Yuehu, gave the highest order.
With instructions from the villain leader, everyone had much more freedom to act—as villains, having fun was their top priority, and since they couldn't invite Hyacinth and the others out to cause trouble while they were missing in Rongcheng, another form of entertainment emerged:
"Clang clang clang—look what this is!"
Alice picked up the beautifully packaged CD in her hands.
Cheshire Rabbit's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly:
"Wow! It's a big movie starring Lily Bai! Is this the latest one?"
"Yes, we had someone buy it in Shanghai, and the package just arrived at our home today." Little Jack naturally took over the conversation between Alice and Rabbit.
Su Tianqing had also heard of the movie "The Pure White Magic Heart: Brilliant Starlight"—starring the magical girl Bai Lili, it took a long time to prepare and film before its release, and recently it garnered a very considerable box office, which greatly boosted Bai Lili's status in the film industry.
The Blu-ray discs of the movie and the accompanying Lily's Team merchandise were also very popular in the market, with the spot price once reaching four figures. The Hero Association had to release two rounds of restocks to stabilize the fans' emotions, but the price remained high.
"I never expected Alice could actually buy such a rare disc. Villains really do have their own methods," Su Tianqing thought to herself.
But I can't enjoy this rare movie disc today; I have something else to do.
"Ring ring~ Ring ring~"
The sacred stone bell rang at just the right moment.
The golden-haired fox girl calmly connected to the communication and waved to the nightingale on the other end.
Good evening, Miss Nightingale.
"Hmm, good evening." Nightingale hesitated for a moment, then nodded gently.
"We're all ready here. Fox, will you be observing the operation tonight?"
"This...?"
The golden-haired fox girl pretended to hesitate and glanced back, letting the video feed from the Divine Stone Communication fill the living room television screen.
Several figures sitting in front of the TV, eating popcorn and watching a movie, appeared on the screen. Just as Nightingale was about to say something, Arum's head suddenly squeezed into the frame:
"Woof! Alice! What are Alice and the others playing, woof?!"
"We're going to watch a movie together today, it's 'Brilliant Starlight' starring Bai Lili."
"Woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof..."
The dog girl's attempts to be cute didn't change anything. Only after she made a promise with Alice in the video to watch a movie together alone next time did the Bernese Mountain Dog Girl's mood improve.
What follows is the standard, formulaic chat:
Nightingale explained today's rescue plan and arrangements, hoping to get technical support from Heartmoon Fox.
The fox girl readily agreed, but she didn't forget to add a little mischievousness—she arranged the next "spot the difference" activity in advance, leaving Nightingale with a bitter and helpless smile.
What else can we do but accept it? It's better than Foxy randomly choosing a time in the underworld to cause trouble, right? Nightingale thought to herself.
Su Tianqing then asked for more details.
From Nightingale's explanation, Su Tianqing learned about today's specific arrangements: Hyacinth, who had outstanding overall strength and the best understanding of the situation in the other dimension, would still be the one to enter. However, to everyone's surprise, Bai Ling also took the initiative to join them.
Nightingale, in particular, was practically complaining over the radio:
"I really don't understand why Bai Ling insists on going in. Wouldn't it be better if she just stayed with us at the communication terminal to contact Hyacinth? Honestly."
"Perhaps she's worried about Hyacinth's condition, but didn't I give her so many props? Logically speaking..." Xin Yuehu asked, feigning ignorance.
"I don't know either. Bai Ling was very disappointed yesterday, but after she recovered today, she insisted on going in with Hyacinth. I don't know what she wants to do inside." Nightingale shook her head and said helplessly.
In her opinion, Bai Ling is far less reliable than Yue Tianxin, who is also a stargazer. After entering the complex alternate dimension, she is unlikely to be of any help and may even become a limiter for Hyacinth.
Hyacinth is very powerful, but if you add Bai Ling, her personal strength will fall into a duality of "stronger" and "weaker", which is very strange.
To be honest, I think that without triggering her classic "royal road" scenario, Bai Ling's usefulness is far less than the little fox gadgets I dumped on Hyacinth and the others like garbage.
Although most of the items are of unclear significance, there are still a few super powerful items that make protecting the hyacinth's freedom of movement a piece of cake.
The communication was disconnected.
Nightingale let out a long breath and exchanged a glance with Yue Tianxin, who was sitting on her shoulder.
"That way, our last worry is over," Nightingale nodded.
"Yes, although Xin Yuehu and the others aren't very reliable, they're still a backup option." Yue Tianxin nodded seriously.
The girls' eyes all turned to the communication terminal.
Hyacinth stood at the edge of the open space, gazing into the distance.
Come on, hyacinth.
"Let's begin today's adventure!"
