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

Chapter 328 Hyacinths in the Middle of the Night and a Sudden Invitation

As the traditional New Year approaches, ropes, lanterns, and knots are strung up in the streets and alleys of Chengdu.

Most shops on the street have couplets posted on them, and even though it's not yet the New Year, you can still feel the strong festive atmosphere.

But the streets were deserted at that moment.

There were no vehicles on the road, and the street food stalls were empty, leaving only half a bowl of unfinished barbecue rice that cooled quickly in the cold wind.

"Snap... Snap..."

A clicking sound came from the sidewalk.

A branch broke off from a roadside tree and fell, the cut clean.

The culprit that caused these cuts was strolling along the road, carefully observing any movement around it.

It is four or five meters tall, with terrifying starlight emanating from its pupils. Its entire body is covered with blades, and its fingers have been replaced by various kinds of blades.

[The Ripper]

Su Tianqing recognized the strange man's appearance.

It was somewhat similar to the Razor Man I had captured in the mountain city, but it had more razor blades on its body and its methods were even more vicious and cruel.

"That strange person is dangerous," Xin Yuehu whispered.

On a rooftop not far away, a bunny girl dressed in pink raised her magic wand, enveloping the three people around her in her invisibility zone.

The fox girl perched on the rabbit girl's shoulder, peering into the distance, and made the above judgment in her mind.

"Hmm? How so? Its magical power isn't that great, it's only about average or slightly above average," Hellcat said, puzzled.

Then the rabbit and wolf glanced at him but didn't say anything more.

You, a mere Star Shadow, are saying others are bad because they're not strong enough? Is that fair? Are you even on the same level?

"It's not much of a threat to you, cat, but to an ordinary magical girl, a monster of its level is capable of wreaking havoc."

The eccentric master, Xin Yuehu, said this.

"More than a monster, it's like a witch with an unusual appearance."

That's right, this guy is only different from the witch in appearance, but his magical density is far beyond that of ordinary wild monsters.

Even if you were to make it by hand, it would take several special abilities and enhancements to achieve a similar level of quality.

It should have at least one witch-like ability and about twelve enhancements.

Could it be assumed that... it was hand-made by Jack the Ripper, just like he did?

"..."

Perhaps sensing the strange gazes from the vicinity, the ripped-up monster turned its head toward the rooftops, revealing a curious look.

Cheshire Rabbit remained unmoved, having absolute confidence in his ability to hide.

The grotesque man didn't observe for long before continuing to stroll forward.

Judging from its movements and expression, it seemed to be searching for something.

"Look at it, it looks quite strange, it doesn't seem to be causing any damage to the surrounding environment at all," said Heart Moon Fox.

"Yes, it's more like they're searching for something."

"But what is it looking for? Even if it's deliberately looking for innocent passersby to attack, it shouldn't be staying in an evacuated area like this."

The three whispered amongst themselves, and Fenrir babbled on and on, unable to get a word in edgewise. He could only silently watch the strange man strolling leisurely.

Looking for something?

Was it sent by Jack the Ripper to search for a magic replenishment?

Just as Su Tianqing was about to send the cat up to beat the ripped monster to its knees and capture it for research, an unexpected voice appeared at the intersection ahead:

"...It's the middle of the night, and you're the one causing trouble."

"!!"

The four of them turned their heads at the same time, and the grotesque man with the disemboweled body also looked up.

Before me stood a beautiful figure in sky blue, head bowed, a large sword slung over her shoulder, radiating intense displeasure and murderous intent.

Hellcat and Heartmoon Fox raised their eyebrows.

"Hyacinth?" Nan Jiayu asked curiously.

"Why did she come all alone? She's recovered so quickly?"

"...Look at the sky."

Fei Yelan spoke up to remind her.

In the sky, a pure white magical girl floated in mid-air, a magic cannon already set up beside her, staring expressionlessly at the razor-sharp monster on the ground.

The nightingale seemed a little nervous, trying to calm the iris down so that she wouldn't impulsively attack like a barrage of wheat, while also winking at the hyacinth.

"Looks like the three of them came out together in the middle of the night to vent their emotions," Su Tianqing remarked.

I can understand their feelings.

After all, they had just been beaten up by themselves and the cat, so it was quite normal for them to vent their emotions on an unlucky weirdo.

Clearly, the Ripper became their target.

"Click, click, click!"

The ripped monster responded silently, its blades clashing and colliding, producing a piercing metallic clang.

The next second, the sky-blue greatsword almost instantly smashed down in front of the monster!

"Crack!!!!"

The strange man tried to catch Hyacinth's greatsword slash, but at the moment of impact, he gave up the attempt to withstand the blow, abandoning the two blades he was using to defend himself, and jumped back with all his might to dodge.

"BOOM!!!"

With a single strike of the greatsword, magical energy surged forth, cleaving a deep trench in the road.

What immense destructive power!

It seems that Hyacinth has made great progress in her strength during the time she has been sparring with the cat.

"Snap!!"

The ripped monster staggered back a dozen steps, but before he could even look down to check his injuries, he was completely enveloped by a beam of magic cannon fire that descended from the sky.

There was no explosion, only the scorching heat and surging buzzing of magic.

After everything had dispersed, the ripped monster had turned into magical particles and scattered, disappearing without a trace.

"They cooperated quite well." Hellcat gave a rare high evaluation.

"Hyacinths provide support while irises take the lead in attacking; they've actually been using this tactic all along."

Xin Yuehu commented on the Hyacinth Squad's excellent performance, then watched the three of them take off and leave in a sullen mood.

But in a corner unnoticed by everyone, a small head peeked out from behind a telephone pole, looking at the wisp of strange magic that was gradually dissipating on the road.

Then he turned his gaze to the roof, looking at the four furtive little figures.

"Heart Moon Fox... Hellcat... and Cheshire Rabbit..."

She was a petite girl.

With blond hair and blue eyes, dressed in gorgeous clothes, holding a plush toy in her arms, she murmured three code names with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

It then quickly disappeared into the darkness.

……

[Urgent Mission: Stop the Ripper Monster, Completed]

the next morning.

As usual, Su Tianqing got up and washed up, and as usual, she asked the kitchen spirit to bake her two slices of bread and bacon, and as usual, she started her new day.

I felt so refreshed last night!

I'm currently in a state of super-max cat energy, and even seeing the secret manual mission makes me feel refreshed.

...Was it truly refreshing?

[Intelligence Page Updated]

[Jack the Ripper, relevant information has been obtained]

Seeing this notification, Su Tianqing put down her milk, flipped through a couple of pages, and looked at the intelligence report page where the text was gradually appearing.

Jack the Ripper wants to meet you and check your Communication Tome Stone.

Hmm? Interesting.

Su Tianqing thought to herself, "I don't really want to investigate Jack the Ripper so soon."

First, the secret manual did not assign any related investigation tasks to him.

Given the usual practices of the Codex, if the Ripper were truly important to their quest chain or other plans, they would probably have already released several legendary quests to entice them to investigate.

Just like when investigating Ms. Inari in the port city, I was afraid that the reward wouldn't be attractive enough and I would turn around and run away.

Secondly, this guy's behavior in the file is completely chaotic and evil, which is completely different from my role. How could I possibly take the initiative to contact him?

Unless there are some unknown secrets hidden here.

In short, let's see what she's really up to first, and then consider whether or not to contact her.

The fox girl took out the communication tome stone and opened the message bar.

[Dedicated Magic Communication Channel]

[Unknown source: Hello, Heart Moon Fox]

Can we meet tonight? On the rooftop of the Chengdu Museum.

Without a signature or source, the other party only knew the characteristics of their magic, making it impossible to deduce their location.

"...Kitty."

Su Tianqing looked at the catgirl who was washing up in the bathroom. The catgirl pokes out her head with her ears perked up, a toothbrush in her mouth, and curiously twitches her cat ears a couple of times.

"Our make-up class today will start this morning; there are other plans for tonight."

"Hmm? Tianqing, do you have anything planned for tonight?"

Nan Jiayu asked, puzzled.

After returning to Chengdu, Nan Jiayu felt she had returned to her old, leisurely lifestyle.

Every day, I would seduce Fox and catch up on my studies, occasionally beat up Hyacinth for fun, and spend half a day cuddling with Tianqing. My life was simple yet fulfilling.

Not to mention that everyone is busy preparing for the Lunar New Year, so no one knows what Tianqing's plans are for tonight.

We're going to see someone tonight.

"Who is it?" the catgirl murmured.

"Jack the Ripper"

Nan Jiayu couldn't hold back and sprayed out a mouthful of foam, along with her toothbrush.
