Chapter 711 The tail network is overloaded
On Bai Ling's sacred stone is an encrypted recording from her predecessor.
Normally, Su Tianqing would probably jokingly lean in and say, "This looks really amazing, let's open it and take a look," but she couldn't bring herself to say anything like that now.
Su Tianqing was even more perplexed when she listened to the garbled text twice in a row and still couldn't make out what it meant.
"May I ask a couple more questions... Senior Bai Ling, when did you obtain this recording?" Yue Tianxin couldn't help but ask.
"It was probably two or three years ago," Bai Ling nodded and then recounted the entire process of how she found the recording:
"At that time, I was busy with a lot of miscellaneous things related to graduating from school. Because my grades weren't very good, I put a lot of effort into my graduation project and thesis. There were so many materials to submit and so many retakes and supplementary exams to make."
"It was around that time that I was thinking, 'If only Senior Mengmeng could help me,' when I was eating at home and suddenly this sacred stone fell from the ceiling and hit me on the head."
After saying that, Bai Ling pointed to her own ceiling and looked up with Yue Tianxin, staring at the ceiling that showed no abnormalities for a long time.
"A sacred stone fell from the ceiling...that sounds amazing..."
"You bet I was terrified. I thought the ceiling was going to collapse and bury me in the living room. I ran a long way away in the process, and I even spilled my food."
Bai Ling pouted and said,
"Then I realized that the ceiling was not actually broken, and I also saw the sacred stone on the ground."
"It appeared out of thin air, without any trace of magical fluctuations or teleportation magic. Even Xin Yuehu could detect her teleportation magic in advance, but I didn't feel any trace of magical fluctuations at the time."
Su Tianqing didn't criticize Bai Ling's opinion with "Could it be that this kid is too bad?", but silently kept it in mind.
Stargazer elves are naturally more sensitive to magic than humans and orcs, the inhabitants of the modern world. Even though Bai Ling was a bottom student in school, she was still a professionally trained and successfully graduated stargazer, so her magical perception was absolutely unquestionable.
Of course, there are differences in skill level among stargazers, but we won't discuss that for now.
"After that, Senior Bai Ling, did you get anything else?"
"That's all, only this one Divine Stone remains." Bai Ling spread her hands and shook her head, helpless.
Su Tianqing went on to discuss more details, and through Bai Ling's descriptions, she gradually formed a general impression of that adorable senior:
A gentle and friendly senior with excellent grades, who went to Chengdu to become a stargazer after graduation and led the Crimson Snow Squad, a magical girl squad that is outstanding in the world.
She disappeared more than 1 years ago. Nan Xiaofeng had just been born then, and the cat had just been adopted by grandparents in Shanghai. Why did Bai Ling only receive the Divine Stone and recording from Senior Mengmeng more than two years ago?
After gathering all the intelligence, Bai Ling's mood improved considerably. She agreed to go back to the real world with Yue Tianxin tonight to apologize to Nan Xiaofeng and explain the situation. Su Tianqing then switched Yue Tianxin from manual to automatic, and the two stargazers left home chatting and laughing.
On the rooftop of Rongcheng, the Golden-haired Fox Girl opened her eyes from the Fox Throne (a lazy chair) and sat up straight, surrounded by her familiars.
Su Tianqing raised the Moon Wand in her hand, and the writing tablet and marker familiars flew to her one after another, allowing the fox girl to write and draw, outlining an intelligence network.
Currently, Hyacinth has gathered almost all the information she obtained from that alternate dimension, and with the additional clues from Bai Ling, it's enough to launch a brainstorming session.
Actually, Su Tianqing originally thought that this matter did not need to be taken too seriously, thinking that if she went in headfirst in a couple of days, she might be able to completely resolve it.
However, judging from the current development trend, things are probably not as simple as they seem.
Listing all the people involved, then listing all the current events and suspicious points, and arranging them logically... Su Tianqing suddenly realized something:
[Obtaining unexpected clues in unexpected places], this is not something that only happened to Bai Ling.
Turn the marker around and draw two circles on the code name "Lilac".
lilac.
If we were to pinpoint the first important clue, lilac would undoubtedly be at the top of the list.
It was her finding of a camera recording audio and video images in the park near the entrance that led to the discovery of the alternate dimension where the missing person was located, which can be considered the most valuable clue at present.
It was precisely because she realized that the location where the camera appeared might be related to the corresponding location in the alternate dimension that she sent Lilac to the spatial rift discovered by the familiars. Sure enough, they successfully entered the alternate dimension by following the rift.
However, the clues that Zidingxiang had at the time were not as complicated and encrypted as Bailing's. Moreover, in theory, it was impossible for teleportation magic to work secretly in an astral town, let alone a spatial rift, which was enough to trigger strict vigilance from the local defense department.
However, this does not affect the possible connection between the two things. Su Tianqing still put them side by side at the top and highlighted them with a red marker.
Is there any connection between encryption and recording audio/video? If so, how can we find out the possible connection between them?
"We still need to go further and participate in the investigation in that alternate dimension," Su Tianqing muttered to herself.
Regardless of whether the investigation can find any clues, the current list of missing persons provides sufficient reason for Hyacinth to return to that alternate dimension for further exploration.
After all, there are still two missing persons inside who haven't been found yet, so whether the unfamiliar Crimson Snow Squad in the alternate dimension is real or fake doesn't seem so important anymore.
Saving lives is the priority. Su Tianqing wrote her last words.
Regardless, the missing persons who were accidentally caught up in this are innocent, and they should not lose their lives because of this. The magical girl's duty to protect them can be fulfilled here.
We need to find a way to expedite the next interdimensional exploration. Even if we have to coax or trick them, we have to get Hyacinth in to rescue the missing persons and, incidentally, investigate the true nature of the stargazer and the albatross.
"Albatross..." Su Tianqing muttered to herself.
Although she doesn't look like an enemy, we can't be careless until we figure out the specifics.
A senior who had been missing for many years suddenly appeared in another dimension and showed goodwill in cooperating. No matter how you look at it, it seems like the senior has returned to the dark side, pretending to be harmless but actually preparing to betray you.
Maybe next time Hyacinth goes in, she'll be attacked by a powerful monster, and Albatross will be watching with a smile and an OMO expression, and might even help the monster fight Hyacinth.
Then the hyacinth will yell, "Albatross! Why are you just watching?!" and then watch helplessly as the albatross turns and walks away...
Su Tianqing stopped her meaningless reverie.
Well, we've analyzed all the information we have so far, so let's just pin our hopes on Hyacinth's next interdimensional exploration!
With the tail network disconnected and the fox brain's computing power severely overloaded, Su Tianqing casually tossed aside the writing tablet and marker, lay down in the recliner, and peacefully closed her eyes.
This fox is going to sleep until night.
