Chapter 595 You seem to be late.
Who is Garuda most likely to capture tonight?
Hyacinth, after all, she's the main character of the main storyline, and capturing her would effectively advance the mission.
The Hellcat isn't bad either. With this fox and the cat standing side by side, we should be able to break through Garuda's blockade in one fell swoop.
Alice would be pretty good too.
It can't be iris or fenrir, can it?
...What the hell are Messiah and Moira?
"Really?!" "The two of them?" "Why them?"
Upon hearing that the two heroes were victims of tonight's Garuda Dream Vision, the Divine Stone meeting instantly erupted in chaos, with almost everyone expressing astonishment and surprise.
Su Tianqing was no exception; in fact, she was the most surprised one. She had thought that only magical girls would be chosen by Garuda as victims, but she never expected that even heroes could be captured. This was quite dangerous.
Heroes cannot use magic, and in all sorts of perilous dreamscapes, they are likely to encounter opponents who can use magic, making them more than ten times more dangerous than magical girls.
"We must get in and rescue them as soon as possible!"
Chi Xue said this, and without hesitation, she pulled Su Tianqing to open the mental image world and quickly entered the pre-positioned dream mental image.
Meteor stared blankly at Chi Xue and Xin Yuehu, who were lost in a dream, the words she was about to say stuck in her throat.
"...Chixue is just that impulsive, don't take it to heart," Red Rose said with a smile as she watched from the side.
"Were you trying to say something to them just now? Judging from your expression..."
"Yes, before I could finish speaking, Chi Xue and the others had already gone to rescue people."
Meteor finally managed a helpless smile, exchanged a glance with Qi Yun beside her, and gently shook her head.
"It's not necessary to save them. After all, they are both S-class, and their ability to protect themselves is more than sufficient."
"Hmm? But I remember Dr. Moira is a support staff member, and Miss Messiah rarely has any frontline activity records. Are we really not worried about the two of them?"
Inari understood the implied meaning in Meteor and Qiyun's words and immediately asked curiously, completely piquing the fox's curiosity.
"Well... actually, Miss Red Rose has already assisted us in the experiment. Even in the mental world, the heroes' psychic abilities can be used normally."
"Psionic and magical abilities are two different superpower systems, and it's difficult for them to interact with each other, not to mention..."
After a brief pause, Meteor said softly:
"...Looking at all the S-class and even super S-class heroes in the world, Messiah's combat power is absolutely among the top."
Red Rose and Inari exchanged a glance, and both of them raised their eyebrows.
Just how powerful is the Messiah?
Before entering the Illusionary Dreamscape, Su Tianqing, using the identity of Dandelion, spent her spare time reviewing the files and action records of all the S-class heroes. Everyone had very rich experience and a rather perfect resume.
For example, even Willow Wood, the senior physician with lifelong experience who is chatting and laughing with Moira about medical records, was in the Special Operations Department before he transferred to logistics work. He once had a terrifying feat of infiltrating a large-scale arms trafficking case in the suburbs of Detroit alone and assassinating all the superpowered criminals.
As for the resumes of Liuxing and Qiyun, they are even more bizarre.
Qi Yun's electromagnetic abilities, comparable to or even surpassing those of a certain Magneto, are incredibly exaggerated in modern society—as long as it's a device connected to the power grid, Qi Yun can easily hack into it along the power lines.
Meteor didn't have much combat experience, but no one would doubt that her ability to instantly teleport to the surface of the opposite planet in the blink of an eye was something very weak.
"Clatter!"
My feet landed gently.
A distant rumble of thunder reached Su Tianqing's ears, and her fox ears immediately perked up to listen to the surrounding sounds, quickly catching the faint footsteps not far away.
"...It landed in the same place again this time." Chi Xue nodded gently and said to the golden-haired fox girl beside her.
The surrounding environment was quite dark, and Su Tianqing couldn't see what kind of clothes Chi Xue was wearing this time. She also had no time to care about her own attire. Just as she was about to raise her wand to cast a light spell, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her:
"Hmm? You came pretty quickly this time."
"!!!"
The chilling sound nearly scared the two of them out of their wits, but Su Tianqing immediately recognized the voice. She turned to look at the only pair of bright cat eyes in the dimly lit room and blinked.
"Kitty!"
"Yes, it's me."
"Where is this? Why is it so dark all around? Kitty, you..." "Shh, keep your voice down."
Hellcat's voice was calm. Instead of turning on the lights to let the two see their surroundings, it lowered its voice and answered softly.
Su Tianqing quickly fell silent, using her magic to rapidly adapt to the surrounding darkness, barely managing to make out what this dimly lit place was like—
The children's bedroom is fairly spacious, with a modern style of decoration. The walls are covered with posters and paintings, and the bookshelves are filled with picture books, crayons, cardboard boxes, and the like.
"Did I scare you just now?" Hellcat said with a slight smile.
"You bet you are! Kitty, it was really scary when you suddenly barked like that from behind!" Su Tianqing said with a hint of displeasure, rushing forward and waving her fox fist to hit him, expressing her dissatisfaction.
"Sorry, sorry. At first, I thought you two were monsters who suddenly appeared in the room. I was startled too," Nan Jiayu replied with a wry smile, deftly catching all the fox punches.
Chi Xue finally calmed down from her shock. The three of them quietly huddled in a corner of the bedroom, using the dim button nightlight by the bedside to see each other clearly.
The three little heads looked at each other under the night light, but none of them spoke first.
"...Well then." In the end, it was Akashi who broke the silence first.
Actually, it was because she couldn't stand the two of them grooming each other's tails anymore. She felt that if this continued, the dreamlike scene would probably become strange, so she tried to steer the conversation towards the main plot.
"What's the situation with this dreamlike mental imagery? What are the original rules here?"
"...Do you want me to explain it simply or in more detail?" Hellcat thought for a few seconds before speaking.
"Please be more detailed, but not too detailed."
"Wearing all sorts of weapons, I fight zombies in the city, clearing levels and solving puzzles. I have rifles and melee weapons, which limits most offensive magic, but I can still use basic magic."
"So that's it, it's that mental image." Su Tianqing clapped her hands, suddenly realizing.
Akayuki was a little confused by Hellcat's words and quickly asked:
"Wait a minute, I can't match your chemistry. Is there a simpler, more concise way to put it that an old person like me can understand?"
"Who do you think you are, some kind of old person? Let me think of another way to explain this to you."
The hellcat pinched its chin, its tail wagging, and after racking its brains for a long time, finally found a suitable description:
"The Road to Survival." "Now that you put it that way, I understand immediately!"
Chi Xue immediately showed the same look of sudden realization, and even excitedly looked around to find a weapon, looking eager to try it out.
This is a famous zombie-fighting video game that even the elderly know. Akashi had obviously played it a lot before, muttering, "Do you have a baseball bat? I love this game." He searched through the wardrobe where Hellcat pointed out the weapons.
"Speaking of which, Kitty, did you see where Garuda's egg landed?"
Su Tianqing had no immediate idea of going out to experience being the first to chop down zombies, and said to Hellcat, who had gotten up to help Chixue find a suitable weapon.
The catgirl was pulling a baseball bat from the closet when she heard Su Tianqing's words. She turned to look at the golden fox beside her and pointed in a certain direction out the window:
"On the main street north of our building, in the middle of the street. I just heard gunshots and explosions over there. It must be the victims who were dragged into the Dreamscape fighting with the zombies."
Nan Jiayu said calmly, having a thorough understanding of this mental world.
As expected, trusting the cat was the right thing to do. In just one or two hours, she had thoroughly investigated the place and gathered information with ease. She truly is the cat I trust most!
"Who is the victim this time? Have you been able to identify them through screening?" Hellcat asked as he pulled the chainsaw's starter cord, carrying a fire axe and a buzzing chainsaw out of the closet.
Su Tianqing was assigned a small pistol—originally thinking that she could at least play a role by using this pistol to provide some support firepower, but when she saw the semi-automatic shotgun with laser beams and incendiary bullets in Chi Xue's hand, she suddenly felt that she could only be a mascot in this kind of gunfight.
And the question the cat just asked naturally received a very definite answer:
Messiah, Moira.
It wasn't two magical girls, but two S-class heroes, which threw Nan Jiayu into a moment of confusion.
Superheroes have also been caught up in a dreamlike illusion? This is not a good sign.
The more Nan Jiayu thought about it, the more she felt things were going wrong. She quickly led her team away from the building where they were hiding, passing through the mosaic-covered corpses of zombies all over the street, and headed straight for the direction where the giant egg had fallen.
Magical girls possess magical powers and various strong magical defenses, so even if they are punched a few times at close range by zombies, they will only feel a little pain.
But heroes are different. They are all mortals, and if they take a couple of punches, they will be injured here or there. Their resilience is quite low, and they are easily injured in the chaotic mental realm of the Illusionary Dream.
With their thoughts of "You two must hold on and not get hurt," the three magical girls quickened their pace and soon arrived at the center of the street where the gunfire had completely subsided.
The scene that came into view made the three of them gape:
The zombie monsters piled up like a mountain, as high as two or three stories. Two spotlights shone on the top of this mosaic-covered hill, illuminating two figures, one tall and one short.
Moira, a young doctor wearing a white coat with her sleeves rolled up.
And Messiah, a mysterious white-haired, red-eyed girl wiping blood from her hands with a handkerchief.
They stood calmly on the zombie hill filled with mosaics—their breathing even, their clothes slightly dirty, as relaxed and comfortable as if they were taking an evening stroll.
