Nan Xiaofeng sat on the sofa, her eyes fixed on the television screen.
The Golden Fox logo appeared on the screen, followed by a line of small text below: Produced by Fox Fox Film Studio.
Then came a long, aerial shot of Hong Kong City at night, with the shooting angle and flight arc meticulously designed to fully present the night scenery of the entire Hong Kong City.
The camera finally landed on Victoria Peak, focusing on the entrance of Inari Memorial Hall, displaying the video title—
“Magic Girl Xinyue Hu ☆ Hong Kong City Heist.”
“Hong Kong City, a prosperous city.”
“This is the hometown of countless people, the native land of countless people, and also the place where countless people pursue their dreams.”
“Magic Girl Inari once protected the safety here. She set up a large number of magic barriers in Hong Kong City, protecting people's lives, but also leaving behind a large number of opportunities and gains.”
Xin Yuehu's voice sounded in the video. Although she was reciting very serious lines, the bullet comments were still filled with fanatical Fox Fox fans, so Nan Xiaofeng had to turn on the intelligent bullet comment shield to clearly see the video content.
“And the important relics left by Miss Inari are her fox mask, which she never left, and her legendary guardian star.”
The camera entered the interior from the memorial hall. The security guards seemed completely unaware of the camera as they walked through the dark corridor. It was another long shot, accompanied by tense and exciting music, bringing the camera to the magical glass display stand in the center of the exhibition hall.
Immediately after, the camera cut upwards, landing on Hellcat waiting by the central air conditioner.
“It's Hellcat…”
Hua Ling, sitting beside Nan Xiaofeng, said softly, her brows slightly furrowed.
On one side were Hyacinth and her group battling the Volcano Monster, and on the other was Hellcat lurking in the ventilation ducts and ceiling interlayers. The two sets of shots formed a stark contrast, making the viewers of the video involuntarily hold their breath.
Until Cat Girl rappelled down into the power-cut central exhibition hall to retrieve the display stand, the video also reached the climax of the entire film.
The ticking countdown of a stopwatch made the hearts of the audience seem to hang with Cat Girl's actions.
The display stand getting stuck, the quick and decisive handling, and the sudden restoration of power fifty seconds earlier, brought this silent heist to an abrupt halt at its most tense and exciting climax.
【Blockbuster feel!】
【Fox Fox Movie is now showing!】
The bullet comments immediately flooded in densely, but were quickly collected by the intelligent shield, yet the lingering impact on everyone's hearts could not be stopped.
“…So that's it, I understand everything.”
Nan Xiaofeng murmured to herself, as if enlightened.
“Why did Xin Yuehu use the Volcano Monster to create such a big illusion of attack? This is a feint, luring the tiger out of the mountains! She deliberately let that Volcano Turtle distract us!”
“So, her real goal is Inari's fox mask, right?” Lin Muyao said thoughtfully, asking Nan Xiaofeng.
The three members of the team nodded simultaneously.
Bai Ling sat on the back of the sofa, staring at the screen in thought, as if pondering something, but then silently shifted her gaze to the little Golden Fox beside her.
Fox Astrologer Yue Tianxin was at this moment nibbling on a bag of potato chips, as if watching a movie, thoroughly enjoying herself.
“Xiaoyue, why do you think Xin Yuehu wants to steal Inari's mask?” Bai Ling asked.
“I'm not too sure about that. Inari's mask is just a decorative item she made herself. Even if it has magic attached to it, it would be easy for Xin Yuehu to replicate it given her strength.”
The Fox Spirit was stunned for a moment, swallowed the potato chips in her mouth, and shook her head, her fox ears trembling and shaking with the movement of her head, and then stated her thoughts,
“Senior Bai Ling, think about it, Xin Yuehu not only has Star Shadow, but also Mindscape World. Theoretically, the only people who can contend with her are Red Rose and the vanished Red Snow.”
“Alas… In that case, her act of stealing Inari's mask becomes even more questionable.”
The Bai Diao (White Sable) Spirit sighed, saying helplessly.
Nan Xiaofeng also felt that what the two said made sense, and her attention returned to the video in front of her.
Rather than a video, it was more like a trailer for a movie, a kind of teaser. Several shots cut to various Inari memorial sites throughout Hong Kong City, as if announcing some kind of major heist.
Coupled with the phrase from the previous video, “Fox Fox, a special gift I designed just for you~”, it made Nan Xiaofeng feel a chill down her spine.
“Could it be that Xin Yuehu plans to stage a heist at all these attractions? Is she trying to collect all the relics Inari left in Hong Kong City?”
Nan Xiaofeng voiced her thoughts.
This time, Hua Ling and the other two nodded in agreement, their opinions surprisingly consistent.
“I think Xin Yuehu will probably attack in the order of the shots shown in the video just now. This is also her usual style.”
Lin Muyao rewound the video to the montage of Hong Kong City attractions after Hellcat stole the mask display stand, looking at the at least ten consecutive attractions related to Magic Girl Inari that were being shown, and said.
“Since that's the case, let's contact Hai Lan Shi and her team, set up defenses around these attractions in advance, or directly protect the attractions with defensive magic!”
No sooner had Nan Xiaofeng finished speaking than a negative voice came from not far behind her.
“Impossible, don't even think about it.”
The speaker was Li Kexin, who was walking in from outside the screening room, with a butler behind her carrying several bottles of drinks and snacks.
“Hmm? Senior Kexin, why do you say that?”
Hua Ling asked curiously.
In Hua Ling's own view, setting up defenses in advance was indeed the most effective way to deal with Xin Yuehu. Even if she couldn't be stopped, it could provide a lot of useful information for subsequent interception battles.
But Li Kexin's words made her somewhat puzzled.
“…You probably don't understand the style of Hong Kong City. The style of Rong City doesn't apply here.”
The girl sighed, took out her phone and tapped a few times, switching the TV in the screening room to a projector screen, displaying a huge projection of Hong Kong City.
“Since Inari's retirement, several villain Magic Girls similar to Xin Yuehu have emerged in Hong Kong City. They are not as friendly as Xin Yuehu and have caused multiple injury incidents.”
“The most famous among them is this one—Magic Girl 【Flytrap】, who, in a state of magic depletion, unconsciously set up large-scale magic, draining the magic of an entire district's residents.”
“The accident caused hundreds of people to be hospitalized, and some even suffered serious injuries, which directly led to a huge fear of villain Magic Girls among the people of Hong Kong City.”
“And if you were to set up blockades at these attractions, it would inevitably lead to public suspicion and speculation, followed by a city-wide disturbance or even panic, causing unpredictable consequences.”
“Let's analyze Xin Yuehu's purpose in doing this. What kind of case does she intend to create in Hong Kong City? Is such a high-profile attack announcement hiding her true purpose?”
Li Kexin's words enlightened everyone. Nan Xiaofeng suddenly realized, and said to this young lady:
“So that's it, which means we shouldn't rush to blockade the scene. We should analyze Xin Yuehu's ultimate goal and deduce her next attack location!”
Everyone immediately enthusiastically opened the map and got busy.
The Fox Spirit sat calmly by the map, but a sense of joy involuntarily arose in her heart.
Everything… is under Fox Fox's control.
