Chapter 581 The Experiment Begins
"Doggy, I need to talk to you about something..."
"I am a wolf. What's the matter that you're so serious about?"
"Remember to cover yourself with the blanket before you go to sleep tonight, otherwise you might jump off the bed when you wake up from a dream."
"...I thought it was something else, is that all?"
Fei Yelan tilted her head in confusion. She had expected the golden fox to say something like, "Go and kill Garuda tonight." She was prepared to respond with, "Kill Garuda? Me?" But it turned out to be just a simple greeting.
Before Su Tianqing could continue, the gray wolf raised his hand to stop the fox girl from speaking, taking control of the conversation and asking in confusion:
"Wait a minute, this isn't right."
"Fox, why are you so sure Garuda will be able to capture Alice and me into the Dreamscape tonight? What if she doesn't?"
"Trust in my and Cat's judgment, we can definitely do it! We've gathered a lot of information today, all for the sake of giving Garuda a surprise tonight." Su Tianqing said confidently, puffing out her flat fox chest.
"If it takes you and Alice in tonight, then our deduction will be correct. If it doesn't... then we'll think of another way to deal with it."
Fei Yelan was silent for a few seconds, then her eyes darted around, her wolf tail twitched slightly, and she pricked up her ears to ask cautiously:
"So that means... I was actually a guinea pig?"
"How can you think like that? Doggy, you're the most resilient in our team. If something happens to you inside, everyone's counting on you."
"Hmm... if that's what you're saying..."
The wolf's tail behind her suddenly stood up. Although she pretended not to care, the tail obediently wagged a few times.
Then he suddenly realized what was happening and quickly replied:
"No, I'm a wolf!"
On the villain's rooftop, the gray wolf's cry for self-awareness echoed.
In fact, Su Tianqing didn't really expect the experiment tonight to be successful.
After all, the method he used to "attract" Sasha's attention to the dog and Alice was very simple: he simply brought out the complete guide to magical girls from the forum, and then looked through the account of Magical Girl Fox Official to find a few candid photos of the two of them during their daily activities. It was easy to make Sasha interested in the two of them.
Especially when she saw the movie clip of "The Great Robbery in Hong Kong", Sasha was so excited that she almost flapped her wings and flew away. Su Tianqing even thought that after watching the videos of the dog and Alice tonight, Sasha might go and watch the movie.
"If that's the case, it'll be easier to handle. The suspects in the Hong Kong City robbery are fixed, and if the victims are among them, it will confirm our idea."
After watching the dog, Alice, and Jack leave, Su Tianqing looked up at the starless, gloomy night sky over Rongcheng and squinted as she whispered.
The only problem is, how can I find out what Sasha watched tonight?
Currently, only I and a few close friends know about this experiment, and I have specifically instructed everyone not to tell anyone about it, so as not to disturb Garuda's possible vision.
The only one most likely to leak information is Alice's side... but she is very interested in this plan, and besides, her roommate Wang Xiaowang has been entrusted by the Hero Association to patrol the city and has been staying at the Association's hotel for convenience, so there is no way she would know about this.
In this way, all distractions are eliminated, and the accompanying demons assigned to the dog and Aurora will closely observe their condition after they fall asleep. If there is any sign of being pulled into a dream, they will immediately activate the teleportation magic they have set up in advance to ensure that there will be no accidents.
"Next, we just need to wait quietly. Once we detect any disturbances in the dream imagery, we'll immediately go and confirm who has been dragged into the dream."
Su Tianqing leisurely sat down on the sofa chair, examining the fragments of dream images that the Palu familiars had hastily cut out.
These are all rare and excellent materials. After the Garuda incident is over, I'll turn these clips into videos and post them on my account. That should greatly increase my follower count and view count.
"Hmph, this is perfect," the golden fox muttered to itself.
"Hmm... While those clips are indeed quite interesting, I have a strange feeling about them..."
Nan Jiayu peeked at the content being shown on the screen, which was showing last night's racing car competition—Chi Xue was driving a car at high speed on a huge suspended track, dodging and weaving to avoid being chased by shadows, while using drifting and nitro acceleration to shake off her pursuers, giving it the feel of an action blockbuster.
Although it lacks the intense gunfights and explosions of Foxkov, it excels in racing, far surpassing the tank chases of the Gold Heist.
...But a strange feeling just wouldn't go away from Nan Jiayu's heart: the item race only appeared after the team obtained the "eggshell fragments". Before that, Garuda had been acting steadily and methodically according to the rules of mental imagery. Why did it suddenly become so irritable?
It's really hard to understand what the eggshell fragments mean to Garuda.
"Ugh—I suddenly feel so tired!" Nan Jiayu tilted her head, stretched on the sofa, and then lay there like a cat pancake.
"Little Fish, if you're tired, you should get some rest earlier tonight." Seeing the catgirl beside her looking exhausted and slumped over, Su Tianqing smiled and leaned closer, speaking softly to Nan Jiayu.
"Actually, it wasn't that tiring. After entering the dreamlike state of mind, it felt like I was asleep, and my body didn't feel tired at all," Nan Jiayu replied, turning over.
"The most exhausting part is actually mental. It's like spending an entire night in the library reading intensely... Ugh, it's terrifying."
"Hmm... Little Fish, I remember you also tried studying all night during your final exams last semester."
"That's because!—"
Before she could finish speaking, Nan Jiayu suddenly remembered when she first met the fox girl beside her.
Back then, I would spend my days playing with Tianqing, and at night I would secretly watch Magical Girl Fox Official's live streams and videos. The intense guilt tormented me so much that I couldn't eat or sleep. Fortunately, I later found out that Tianqing was actually Xinyuehu, and I was finally relieved.
Last semester, I almost failed a course because I watched too many live streams and neglected my studies. Fortunately, Tianqing helped me, so I wasn't forced to stay at school to retake the exam during the holiday.
Her thoughts drifted a little further away, and Nan Jiayu didn't even notice that the fox girl had already sat down next to her head, gently lifting her head and neck to rest her head on her soft, fleshy thighs and knees.
"Ah, the weather's clear?"
"Today we're offering a lap pillow service, which has been a while~ How about it? Would you like some ear cleaning as well?"
"Forget about that one. Its ears are still shedding recently, so I'll wait until it calms down."
"Hmm~ Then let's change it to a head massage service!"
The sofa instantly transformed into a scene of cats and foxes being all lovey-dovey.
But before the second movement of the head massage was finished, a pleasant cell phone ringtone suddenly sounded—Su Tianqing's Communication Divine Stone.
The familiar immediately retrieved the Divine Stone from its magical space, held it up, and floated it in front of the cat and fox, allowing them to see who had called.
Cheshire Rabbit.
"See? I told you so!"
Su Tianqing's fox tail immediately began to wag violently, and Nan Jiayu sat up abruptly, taking the fox from the familiar's hand. Forgetting to enjoy the fox's lap massage, she quickly connected the communication.
"Shhh..."
"Hey, are you two asleep?" Rabbit said from the other end of the communication stone.
"Not yet, it's only 10:30 now. We plan to play for another hour before going to sleep," Su Tianqing answered honestly.
【That's perfect, your earlier guess has been confirmed. Ye Lan is sleeping right in front of me—transforming in her sleep】
"Snapped!"
Su Tianqing clapped her hands together, making a clear "smack" sound. Because of the pain from the slap she had just given herself, she quickly gasped and started rubbing her hands, but she still couldn't suppress the joy on her face.
As expected! My guess was right!
The dog is the victim of tonight's dreamlike vision! Next, we should have the familiar confirm things with Aurora's side—
Before Su Tianqing could react, the teleportation spell was activated in the villain's rooftop hall, and two small figures appeared in the center of the hall, where they were caught steadily by the familiar that looked like a bed.
Alice in gold, Jack in black.
The two of them lay side by side on the bed like Sleeping Beauty, relaxed and natural, just like sleeping girls, showing no signs of being affected by any magic.
"Kitty, I'm leaving Alice in your care." "Leave it to me."
The reliable catgirl immediately rushed to the bed familiar and guided the familiar to safely transfer the two to the pre-prepared monitoring bed. Xia Taotao also arrived with Fenrir at this time, and the villains gathered on the rooftop once again.
"What do you mean this time? Are you going to contact Chixue like yesterday?" Xia Taotao asked.
Although Su Tianqing didn't know why Rabbit would see the dog sleeping in front of her, since Rabbit didn't say anything, she just assumed it was perfectly normal.
"I've already contacted her. She'll give me a magical communication device later, and I'll simultaneously unfold my mental world with her at that time."
"Oh, I see... Please be careful that day, Qing." Nan Jiayu said with concern.
Su Tianqing grinned, found a comfortable position on the sofa chair, and gave the catgirl a thumbs up.
"Don't worry, Kitty, what's inside is essentially my mental world. I can leave whenever I want."
"But we don't know which dreamscape the dog and Alice have been dragged into... Hopefully it's not something bizarre."
After talking to herself for a while, Su Tianqing closed her eyes, connected to Chi Xue's magic communication, and murmured:
"The World of Mental Images - Unfolding"
