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

Chapter 265 Encirclement and Suppression, Offense and Defense

[The tail comb of the Inari plant has been collected.]

[Collection Progress: 7/13]

Victoria Shopping Centre, central Hong Kong.

Su Tianqing stood in front of an exquisite relief wall, playing with a clean and tidy hair comb in her hand, which was full of signs of use.

"Hmm... [Automatic Cleaning Magic], [Fully Automatic Combing Magic], and also [Loose Hair Collection Magic] and [Self-Repair Magic]..."

"What an ingenious magical structure! Miss Inari's magic is incredibly powerful."

The golden fox looked astonished, as if it had found some treasure.

For fox people, this tail hair comb with stacked buffs is truly a magical tool, especially during shedding season. Every morning when Su Tianqing wakes up, she sees a huge pile of fur in the blankets, and grooming is pure hell.

Although the grooming was left to the Nanjia fish, we can't completely rely on the cat. Being able to care for the tail fur so conveniently is a blessing for fox people.

This made Su Tianqing even more amazed by Inari's magical power, and also made her somewhat expectant of the memories contained in the comb.

The two items I collected yesterday didn't provide any valuable clues. The memories inside were just ordinary daily stories and monster hunts, nothing as significant as the giant snake.

I wonder what kind of information this tail comb can give me?

"They're here."

Suddenly, the catgirl standing by the railing on the rooftop inside the mall spoke up.

Su Tianqing put down the comb in her hand, stored it in her magic space, took one last look at the "Inari Slaying the Rat Monster Relief" created by the master artist, and then focused her attention on the entrance of the mall.

Let's put aside the matter of revisiting our memories for now and focus on doing what's most important right now.

That's right, it's a scene that's a must-have in police and gangster movies—a showdown in the mall!

.

It's 2 PM now.

It was the weekend, and Victoria Shopping Centre should have been busiest at this time, but it was unusually quiet.

Most shops were closed, and the sirens of the Hero Association outside were blaring incessantly.

A sky-blue magical girl, dressed in a lithe and athletic outfit, walked into the mall and looked up at the figure peering at her from the railing.

Then he immediately shouted:

"Heart Moon Fox! It really was you! You actually attacked Victoria Shopping Mall! This is the heart of Hong Kong City!"

"Hmm~ So what~?"

The golden fox grinned, completely ignoring Hyacinth's words.

"Fox, I've been waiting for you guys for so long! I was even planning to activate the bomb barrier if you didn't come, what a pity..."

"Don't even think about it! We will definitely stop you!"

"Hmph~ Then try to stop me, you little fox! I'm looking forward to it~"

Hyacinth gritted her teeth in anger, wishing she could immediately fire at the golden-haired fox girl's head, but Hellcat's black automatic rifle muzzle was already aimed at her.

My original plan for today was to come to Victoria Shopping Mall to conduct research.

This is the largest central business district in the port city, the most prosperous area in the entire port city. If something happens here, it will definitely cause a huge reaction and casualties. No one dares to be the slightest bit careless.

However, the mole within the team continued to exert his influence as always—just five minutes after he made the decision to go to the mall, news came that Xin Yuehu had attacked the mall.

The entire city was in an uproar, but with the help of Xin Yuehu, the mall staff and surrounding residents were evacuated in just ten minutes, leaving even Cobra himself in disbelief.

For this reason, the Hero Association immediately surrounded the entire shopping mall completely.

Wheat, who was originally scheduled to go elsewhere, canceled her trip to provide support and formed a firepower team that was scattered around the mall. Hyacinth Squad and Aquamarine Squad broke into the mall with the intention of arresting Heart Moon Fox on the spot!

As for the mole, it seems unimportant now; we can't let one mole delay the really important matters.

"We have eleven of us against four of them, plus heavy firepower support. The advantage is on our side!"

Hyacinth spoke to the people behind her.

Iris nodded slightly and checked the magic bullets loaded in the automatic rifle in her hand.

The AK103 assault rifle, fitted with a rail handguard and vertical grip, boasts very standard military-grade firepower.

Nightingale was still carrying the SCAR heavy assault rifle she had captured from Fenrir. The two gunners, along with Hyacinth, the assault soldier, formed a very well-coordinated team.

But if we include the aquamarine and peridot that accompanied the team...

"Can you two handle this?"

"Don't worry, I'm a top-notch gunman."

Aquamarine said confidently as she cocked the submachine gun in her hand.

Meanwhile, Peridot beside her calmly exchanged a glance with Nightingale. The two support characters' gazes fell on the weapons in each other's hands, and they both revealed relieved smiles:

The ASH-12 assault rifle fires 12.7mm rounds and is extremely powerful, making it one of the strongest firepower providers in the assault team, alongside the Nightingale.

The five-person team entered through the stairs and searched their way forward.

"Speaking of which, didn't Xin Yuehu help evacuate the crowd just now?"

Peridot asked curiously.

The iris nodded.

"Yes, Kokoro gives advance notice before an attack. If the Hero Association cannot evacuate the crowd in a short time, she will also help with the evacuation, and she is very efficient."

"Huh... this is so weird..."

Peridot scratched the back of his head with a wry smile, completely baffled by the little fox's thoughts.

As a local magical girl from the port city, she had naturally seen villains like Hellcat before:

The Strychnine and Guinea Pigs that were active in Hong Kong a few years ago operated in exactly the same way as the Hellcats in Shanghai—occasionally attacking civilians to absorb their magic power, or directly clashing with the Aquamarine Squad.

However, under Aquamarine's active command, coupled with the fact that the two of them worked independently and did not cooperate at all, Maqianzi and her group rarely succeeded, with only a few successful sneak attacks.

However, they were not as friendly as the Heart Moon Fox at all. They would often start fighting as soon as they met, but fortunately they were relatively gentle to civilians and never went out of control like the Venus Flytrap.

"Anyway, this is Xin Yuehu's style, which is actually quite good, right?"

"Hey, Iris, how can you take that vixen's side? She's a big bad guy!"

Hyacinth cried out in dissatisfaction, and iris responded with a wry smile, but the smile on her face did not show any agreement.

Just as the three of them turned out of the stairwell and entered the second floor of the mall, Aquamarine, who was serving as an assault soldier alongside Hyacinth, took the lead in setting up her gun to guard the surroundings. Suddenly, Hellcat's deep blue figure appeared in her field of vision.

And the HK416 automatic rifle bursting with fire.

"On the right!"

Aquamarine was also quite resilient. After taking a burst of magic bullets, she quickly retreated to cover. Although she was in pain and winced, she was not seriously injured.

"Suppressive fire! Suppress her!"

The three gunners immediately opened fire in return. No matter how agile the catgirl was, she couldn't fight back against three large-caliber assault rifles. She immediately retreated to cover and threw a grenade back.

Gunshots and explosions rang out continuously, weaving a dense symphony inside the mall.

Su Tianqing sat happily in the monitoring room, enjoying the unequal battle of attack and defense through the camera lens of the familiar.

"The attacking side is aggressive, but little do they know they've already stepped into the defender's trap... Heh, how interesting."

The golden fox muttered happily to itself, as if it were chatting with someone.

"But if we let them keep shooting like this, the goods in the shop will suffer. It seems we need to do something more interesting."

"Hey, Kitty, can you hear me? How's it going on your end?"

"Shh... I can hear it. Their firepower isn't bad. I'm preparing to retreat."

The catgirl's voice came through the communication, and the continuous explosions and gunshots made the communication very noisy, full of the atmosphere of a battlefield.

"The Hero Association has equipped them with military-grade firepower, and your automatic rifle is a bit underpowered, Cat."

"Start Plan B, head towards the furniture store on the third floor. I had my familiar set up magic there to interfere with the gun's operation, which is perfect for you, Kitty."

"Good job, I'll lead them over there."

Communication was interrupted.

Su Tianqing looked at the direction the familiar had drawn in pursuit, her face beaming with smiles.
