Chapter 461 The So-Called Waiting for a Rabbit to Run into a Tree Stump
The plan to suppress the Shadow of Stars has ended with this fox's temporary victory.
Looking at the words "[Starry Night Shadow Status: Temporarily Stabilized]" on the Secret Codex quest log, Su Tianqing breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a huge weight lifted from her heart.
But it hasn't fully materialized yet. The secret manual only says it's a temporary suppression. If I can't fully activate Xia Taotao's Starry Shadow during this period, there's still a possibility she'll enter the Shadow state.
The possibility is even quite high!
"Since that's the case, I'll have to find a way to make something big happen!" The golden-haired fox girl wagged her tail vigorously, letting out a foxy cry in her heart.
We must expedite the unfolding of Peach's Starry Shadow as soon as possible! We must prevent that terrifying Starry Shadow from appearing!
Actually, I'm quite curious to see what this so-called "Crimson Shadow of the Stars" is all about... It sounds pretty intriguing.
But as the saying goes, curiosity killed the fox, so this fox would better not deliberately court death, lest it cause more trouble later.
Fox's silent inner cry was quickly interrupted by Inari on the other end of the communication magic:
"Um... Miss Heart Moon Fox... are you still there?"
"Huh? I'm here!"
Hearing Inari's call, Su Tianqing quickly looked down at the magic light screen and replied.
It's evening after dinner, the usual time for the villains to be active.
With the comfort and support of Fei Yelan and Aurora, and the encouragement from her younger sister Xia Youyou, Xia Taotao's spirits have improved considerably.
At least when faced with a new round of potential stimuli, they will no longer gravitate towards the direction of starry shadows.
But it's like a sword hanging over your head; until a truly permanent solution is found, no one can guarantee when that sword will fall on their head.
In short, let's hear what Inari has to say.
"While I don't mean to discourage you... it's really difficult, even for me, to come up with an experimental treatment plan in such a short time..."
The red fox girl wore round-framed glasses and was dressed like a researcher, but she looked troubled.
"Oh dear, that's just something I used to comfort people, Inari-san, don't take it to heart~"
"No, no, it's not that I don't care, it's just that you shouldn't take it to heart—that's roughly the idea!"
Su Tianqing quickly changed her mind, fearing that Inari might be unwilling to give up the plan.
"I understand what you mean, and I do have the theoretical basis to provide large-scale treatment, but... I still need some field data." Inari smiled and shook her head, saying.
As expected of the magical genius Inari, she devised a healing theory in just one day, and Su Tianqing's understanding of Inari's magical prowess reached a new level.
"But if I want to speed things up, I need a huge experimental facility to put the theory into practice."
"This site must cover at least an entire major city, and the local magic power must be very abundant—at least comparable to the intensity of an astral magic storm."
"Furthermore, we need several test subjects within the site. They must be rabbit-type beastmen of reproductive age, and we must ensure that they are bathed in astral magic under the protection of the barrier I provide."
Hearing Inari's requirements for the experimental site, Su Tianqing felt a headache coming on.
Although it was indeed my request to Inari, where exactly do I find such a venue? And where do I find these volunteers?
But the more Su Tianqing thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Her doctor's intuition quickly made her realize the essential element of this experiment:
Isn't this just human experimentation?!
"Ms. Inari, has your experiment... been approved by the ethics committee?" Su Tianqing asked.
—Ethical review is an essential review activity for medical experimental projects and experimental treatments.
Before Su Tianqing could finish speaking, Inari had already projected the Hero Association's approval documents onto the magic light screen.
"You don't need to worry about this, Miss Xinyuehu. This is the ethics review and approval document from the National Hero Association headquarters. I just received it half an hour ago."
Su Tianqing looked at the brand-new review document with surprise.
"The protective barrier, personally designed by Senior Red Rose, ensures that the subjects will not be excessively affected by astral magic, and absolutely guarantees their personal safety."
"Red Rose... In that case, I'm so relieved!" Su Tianqing said with delight.
Ms. Inari is just too reliable!
……
【Task Update】
[Stage Task: Construct the experimental site, 0/1]
With Inari's strong support, the mission progressed significantly, directly advancing to the selection and construction of the experimental site.
First of all, this cannot be developed in the mental world.
The mental world is essentially a limited sub-plane, which differs greatly from reality, and many variables are unpredictable.
Therefore, it can only be arranged in a certain location in the real world, and there must be many rabbit-race beastmen living there, so that there will be a few subjects who "happen" to participate in this experiment.
"With experiments and training grounds all happening in the city, isn't this just turning me into a major villain?" Su Tianqing muttered to herself.
No, wait, I'm the villain! It's perfectly normal for villains to do these things!
After convincing herself, Su Tianqing pondered for a moment and immediately launched a massive plan for amusement—
That's right, having fun is the underlying logic of this fox's activities as a villainous magical girl.
It was also a magnificent veil used to conceal this experiment!
Imagine if Hyacinth knew that I, the fox, was secretly building a huge magical barrier in the city, what would her first reaction be?
She'd probably immediately drag her friends to her side and smash everything in front of her before the magic barrier was even fully erected, all the while shouting lines like, "Destroy this evil barrier!"
That wretched hyacinth, always causing me trouble. Next time I have the chance, I'll definitely catch her and bring her into the world of imagination to give her a good talking-to.
Therefore, we must add another layer of "fun plan" on top of this!
Now imagine if Hyacinth and the others saw that I, the fox, had issued a battle invitation that looked rather unorthodox, inviting them to fight in the city center. What would she do?
Doubt, contemplation, suspicion, distress
In the end, he was forced to bring his friends to "stop" his plan, but in reality, it was completely under his control.
And during fighting events or other activities, he would "casually" arrange a few luxurious spectator seats, seemingly distributing tickets randomly in the middle of Snow City...
Anyone would think twice about such a stroke of good fortune. Plus, with the popularity and reputation I've built up over the years, finding a few rabbit viewers is a piece of cake!
In this way, wouldn't it be perfectly legitimate to place the experimental subjects on the barrier array set up by Miss Inari and Miss Red Rose?
This fox is simply a genius!
With her fox tail held high, Su Tianqing once again gloated over her talent for finding fault.
So, now the biggest problem arises.
What kind of "fun" would it take to awaken Rabbit's starry shadow...?
