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

Chapter 293 Analysis and Planning

Legendary Quest: Project Thor's Hammer

The investigation into the distribution of underground magic in the port city has been completed.

evening.

After much effort, this impressive-looking grand plan has finally completed its first phase.

Since the secret manual had not yet provided a next step, Su Tianqing took the opportunity to sit in on the magical girls' regular meeting.

I'll also take this opportunity to organize the information I currently have to prepare for the next step of my plan.

But while I'm seriously considering this, I probably won't be able to precisely control the actions of the fox spirit Yue Tianxin, so I might as well just let her sit on someone's head and leave it running!

Thinking of this, the fox spirit flew to the nightingale's shoulder and found a comfortable position to sit down.

The fox's tail swayed back and forth, brushing against the nightingale's nape and earlobes. The soft, delicate touch made the nightingale revel in it, grinning foolishly.

It even closed its eyes and enjoyed the neck care of the fox tail.

But the meeting didn't stop just because an assistant was enjoying a post-coital spa treatment; it continued as scheduled.

"I asked the Port City Association to conduct data analysis and summarized this general distribution map."

Sealand Stone sat at the head of the table, projecting a semi-transparent map of the port city onto the screen behind him, covered by a pieced-together barrier structure diagram.

The artwork is exquisite and perfectly recreates the barrier that the magical girls sketched in the subway in batches, and then they pieced together their understanding to draw a roughly complete structural diagram.

"Whoa..."

"That was great!"

"It's very intuitive."

Everyone couldn't help but admire the excellent quality of this barrier terrain map.

"This map was made by my colleague, and I hope it can be of some help to you," [Cobra] said to the girls around the conference table from the audience.

"That's amazing! May I ask who made it?" Iris asked curiously.

The cobra, who was listening in, wasn't stingy with this information and casually replied:

"The S-class hero [Palette] possesses extraordinary abilities in painting and image processing, and can even use her psychic powers to paint what others are thinking."

"Thanks to her efforts, and with Miss Dandelion's assistance, this barrier was able to be drawn."

Su Tianqing felt several gazes on her, seemingly coming from Bai Lili's direction, but she didn't pay them any mind.

I painted this barrier myself, using only a palette, and it took me over an hour.

I had no idea that the painter-looking otaku was actually an S-class hero!

While praising the excellent artwork, the magical girls didn't stop observing and discussing the barrier.

After carefully examining the structure of the barrier, everyone fell silent in unison.

Countless ley line magic and astral magic intertwine and connect with each other through man-made ley lines, weaving a vast and intricate pattern.

The outer edge features a simple, repetitive pattern, which quickly becomes complex and intricate towards the inside, leaving one bewildered.

—It's too complicated.

Even Bai Lili, the most senior person present, looked bewildered and hesitant when she saw the huge barrier covering the entire port city.

"Is...is this really a man-made barrier...?"

Not only the magical girls, but even the white ferret elf waiting nearby exclaimed in amazement.

If explained mathematically, the magic missiles and magic bullets that magical girls usually use are like a simple equation: 1 + 1 = 2.

Taking it a step further, for example, salvo cannons and weapon transformations are similar to algebraic equations and plane geometry.

So this underground barrier in the port city... probably falls within the realm of advanced mathematics, such as multivariable functions and differential equations, matrices, integrals and Taylor expansions, Fourier transforms and surface geometry.

Everyone remained silent, except for Su Tianqing, whose expression was calm.

After all, she already knew from Inari's memories that she had set up this barrier, and she didn't feel the same shock as Hyacinth and the others when they first met.

But that doesn't stop me from having fun!

Look at the hyacinth's astonished expression, the iris's trembling pupils, and the speechless expressions of Red Zircon and Amethyst across the table...

"If the rabbits came here, they would surely chirp with delight," Su Tianqing thought.

"...Is this complex barrier really just a time bomb?" Nightingale murmured softly.

Under the fox's tail's tender neck care, the nightingale was the first to snap out of her daze and ask a soul-searching question.

Reminded by this, Bai Lili quickly recovered from her shock and realized what was happening.

"The nightingale is right," said the pure white magical girl.

"The bomb barrier doesn't need such complicated magic flow; it must have another purpose."

"But what exactly is it for... and why did Xin Yuehu set up such a huge barrier?"

When faced with the question that Bai Lili then asked, the magical girls remained speechless.

Especially the three members of Hyacinth, who had only been in the industry for a short time, with the longest-serving member having less than a year of experience, looked at each other and couldn't even utter a single word together.

Seeing that the conversation seemed to have reached an unpleasant stalemate, Su Tianqing paused her analysis of the barrier and spoke up:

"If you go to such lengths to build such a large barrier, only to blow it up in the end, that would be unbelievable."

"Not to mention, this barrier doesn't contain any explosive properties. Look here—"

With that, Dandelion's wand in hand, the golden-haired fox girl pointed to several barrier nodes on the projection screen and offered her analysis.

It wasn't some profound high-level magical theory, just some common knowledge, but it was enough to explain the function of this barrier.

What? You're asking why I know so much?

【Analysis of Inari】This powerful magical analytical ability from Miss Inari is no joke!

After listening to Su Tianqing's series of explanations, the first one to suddenly understand was Iris, followed by Bai Lili.

"I see, I understand now."

"Iris said in surprise,"

"In other words, this barrier is actually a shield used to block magic, so that we can't detect what's underneath it."

"So what exactly is beneath this barrier? Could it really be a giant bomb?"

At this point, the atmosphere at the conference table suddenly froze.

What exactly lies beneath the barrier? No one dares to give a definitive answer.

However, such a massive amount of magic power accumulated and crowded under the barrier would inevitably trigger a terrible disaster if it were released.

The atmosphere eased somewhat only after Aquamarine spoke:

"We have two options now."

"First, start dismantling the barrier from the outside while observing the magical reaction underground."

"That's too dangerous!" Hyacinth immediately objected, and Lily's expression was almost the same.

"Then we can only use the second method."

Aquamarine continued.

"Secondly, we will form an elite team to bypass the barrier and enter the underground to investigate what is hidden beneath it."

"Once we ascertain the situation beneath the barrier, we will strike immediately and nip the threat in the bud!"

The sea-blue magical girl clenched her fists, her expression serious.

But this exciting scene brought Su Tianqing a sense of pleasure.

If Miss Hyacinth ventures deep into the barrier and discovers traces of the astral behemoth, what kind of expression will she make?

This is truly...exciting!
