Chapter 9: Put on my beloved black hood
Fortunately, the next day was the weekend, and Ye Xiaoxuan didn’t have to go to work, so she could go directly to the designated location of the magical creature Zi.
The group of people who were waiting along the original route might all come back empty-handed today. Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoxuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
How does the saying go? Although one's own misfortune is painful, the misfortune of others makes one happier.
Although it's a bit unethical, I'm sorry, everyone o(*≧▽≦)ツ~┴┴
At this time, what was happening on the Internet was exactly what Ye Xiaoxuan was thinking:
@晨跑猎者: “By the way, does that morning jogging mature woman really exist? I waited there for three hours today and didn’t even see her shadow!” (8.5k likes)
Hot reply:
@都市夜行者: "I just said she was hyping it up. Who in today's society would go to the company every day for no reason?"
@Sports data analyst: “Do you think it’s possible that it’s because today is the weekend? She’s not at work?”
Everyone: ...That makes sense, but we still want conspiracy theories.
…
The subway slowly moved away from the city center, and the scenery outside the window gradually changed from bustling high-rise buildings to low bungalows, and finally to barren fields.
At this time, Ye Xiaoxuan didn’t know that seven “missing investigation teams” had been set up for her on the Internet.
A hot forum
Seven suspicious points about the disappearance of a running girl in the financial district
Suspicious point 1: The clock tower time in all running videos is stopped at 4:15
Suspicious point 2: Her expression when she was last seen was obviously different from before (comparison of Ye Xiaoxuan's expression before and after she was found running.)
Suspicious point 3: A colleague revealed that she found a notebook full of mysterious symbols in her work drawer
In summary, I suspect that something bad has happened to her. Based on the energy trajectory analysis, she may have been chosen by the "Morning Runner's Curse"
Comparison picture attached: A marathon runner in 2018 also had the same running track before he disappeared
...If Ye Xiaoxuan were here, she would be speechless. =_=
What the hell is going on!
There were fewer and fewer passengers in the carriage, and by the tenth stop, Ye Xiaoxuan was the only one left.
The train continued to move forward, passing through several unmanned stations. The indicator lights on the platform flickered lonely, and the rusty station signs cast long shadows in the sunset.
When the broadcast announced "Destination: Qinglin Station", the train finally stopped.
Ye Xiaoxuan walked out of the carriage, and the platform was empty. The ticket gate was open, but the gate had stopped running long ago, and there was a thin layer of dust on it.
Outside the station is a dilapidated cement road with a few clumps of weeds stubbornly growing out of the cracks.
In the distance, the rolling green hills seemed exceptionally quiet in the twilight, with occasional cries of unknown birds.
Ye Xiaoxuan subconsciously looked at her cell phone and found that there was only a weak signal bar left.
The navigation software shows that the nearest convenience store is 8 kilometers away.
All of this indicates that this is an extremely remote place.
How remote is it? Let’s put it this way. As soon as Ye Xiaoxuan got off the subway station, she saw a faded notice that read:
It is forbidden to kill wild animals. Violators will be held accountable by law.
The key point is that when Ye Xiaoxuan stared at the line of words, she actually felt a sense of inexplicable relief in her heart - at least, there is still law here.
It's really amazing that their country can build a subway to this place, Ye Xiaoxuan couldn't help but think in her heart.
…
After getting off the car, Ye Xiaoxuan opened her backpack and took out... a pure black hood.
She bought it online for 9.9 yuan and used it to hide her identity.
Bring it up, hmm, it fits better.
After that, she began to have to say that shameful line again.
"Heart of Love." Ye Xiaoxuan waved her left hand.
"Spirit of Love." Ye Xiaoxuan waved her right hand.
"Magical girl." Ye Xiaoxuan made a heart shape on her chest.
"Transform." Ye Xiaoxuan jumped up and opened the heart.
…
Even though she has done it many times, Ye Xiaoxuan is still confused about this transformation line.
The same as her is Nanbang, and there is also the magical creature Zi next to her. As everyone knows, transforming into a magical girl should be done by a beautiful girl of thirteen or fourteen years old.
Although Ye Xiaoxuan is not ugly, she is old. Many actions that are not a big deal for many children will become particularly eye-catching when Ye Xiaoxuan does them.
Especially now that she is wearing a hood, it is doubly eye-catching.
However, the result of the transformation is still the same as before, looking like the Black Magic Fairy from Balala, which is even more eye-catching.
But no matter how the transformation ends, Ye Xiaoxuan's special training officially begins.
Then she saw...
A tightly fenced iron fence with the same words as before written on it:
It is prohibited to hunt and kill wild animals, and violators will be held accountable for legal liability.
Ye Xiaoxuan thought:
It seems that her decision to come here wearing a hood was the right one. This place is actually a nature reserve?
How could she, a socialist law-abiding citizen who had worked diligently for 35 years and had never even run a red light, suddenly become a criminal?
"Hey, Xiao Zi, how are we going to get in now? You don't want me to crawl in? I can't do such a thing." (￢_￢) Ye Xiaoxuan said while standing in front of the barbed wire.
"No, no, we can just use magic this time."
Fortunately, the magical creature was finally reliable for once.
"Have you learned everything I taught you before?" The magical creature floating in the air in the suburbs asked Ye Xiaoxuan, who was wearing a mask, seriously.
"I've learned it." Ye Xiaoxuan also answered seriously.
"Well, let's get started now."
Then Ye Xiaoxuan was seen standing in front of the rusty iron fence, taking a deep breath, and gently touching the cold metal with her fingertips.
Then, with a ripple-like movement, her body really passed through the fence without any hindrance as if passing through a curtain of water.
——This was Ye Xiaoxuan’s first time using magic. Looking at her hands, she felt that it was truly magical.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological factor, but after entering here, Ye Xiaoxuan clearly felt that the surrounding environment seemed to become darker all of a sudden.
The damp smell of rotting leaves filled the air, and the trees twisted and grew, their branches reaching like spasming fingers towards the gray sky.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the grass.
That was exactly what they were here for, a rabbit affected by the power of rage.
——If that can still be called a "rabbit".
Ye Xiaoxuan thought.
Perhaps because of the low magic content, the rabbit affected by the power of rage looks no different from an ordinary rabbit.
Only when it raised its head, stared at Ye Xiaoxuan with its scarlet eyes, and opened its mouth, revealing its jagged fangs, did Ye Xiaoxuan clearly realize that this was definitely not an ordinary rabbit.
"roar--!"
With a sharp roar, the rabbit kicked its hind legs and rushed towards Ye Xiaoxuan like a cannonball!
Ye Xiaoxuan quickly dodged to the side, and then with a "bang", the huge impact force directly caused the rabbit to make two holes in the ground.
However, before Ye Xiaoxuan could react, the rabbit did not stop, but circled around her side at an astonishing speed and bit her again!
This time Ye Xiaoxuan couldn't dodge anymore, and had no choice but to raise her arms to block, and then she discovered.
This thing is weaker than I thought?
The rabbit's brutal charge did not cause any harm to Ye Xiaoxuan. Instead, it allowed her to strangle its throat. Then, using the magic that the magical creature had given her before, she directly absorbed the violent energy in the rabbit's body for her own use.
The rabbit whose furious energy was absorbed instantly returned to its previous docile state, quietly lying at Ye Xiaoxuan's feet and eating grass.
At this time, the magical creature flew out and said to her, "The gap between magic values six and seven is greater than you think."
Feeling the strength in her body, Ye Xiaoxuan felt that she had never been so confident.
