Chapter 219 Bai Lili is a coward
"Strange tales of rules?... "
Upon hearing Iris utter this somewhat unfamiliar word, the magical girls exchanged bewildered glances, each remaining silent.
"What is that? It sounds ominous," Green Ivy asked.
"It's not that bad. If Xin Yuehu is really playing this trick, then it's actually a good thing for us," Hyacinth said confidently.
"After all, it saves us the trouble of investigating her inner world," Nightingale added.
"In short, Xin Yuehu has set up some kind of 'rules' within this barrier that must be followed. If we violate the rules she set, very bad things will happen, or even..."
Halfway through her sentence, Bai Lili, who was reading the flyer, suddenly froze, as if she had thought of something terrible.
"What exactly will happen?" Green Ivy pressed.
The three of them shook their heads in unison.
"have no idea."
"The world of the mind is completely controlled by the Heart Moon Fox. She can mold it into any shape she wants, as long as she so desires."
"Every time we get caught up in the world of mental images, our first instinct is to investigate what traps she has set up inside, which is also the most difficult part."
The wheat ears were convinced of this and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Having been caught up in the Magic Mouse Adventure before, Mai Sui felt a huge gap in strength from Xin Yuehu's precise control over the mental world, and couldn't even muster the intention to confront him head-on.
This time, her method of playing the game was surprisingly in the form of a bizarre rule-based fantasy...
"Is it really that mysterious?"
Edelweiss was deeply skeptical, especially when she saw her former teammate Wheat looking so serious, and she began to waver a little.
"In short, we have too little information right now, let's hurry up and go to the next place to investigate."
Violet spoke up, flicking the zoo flyer in her hand. The location of the panda enclosure was marked with a large, eye-catching radish symbol.
……
The panda enclosure was very spacious. Visitors gathered around the viewing platform, laughing and chatting. The giant pandas lay on the toy shelf, leisurely munching on bamboo, their adorable antics endearing to all.
Everyone couldn't help but peek inside the fence a few times.
"They're quite cute."
"This is the first time I've ever seen a panda."
One of the petite members of Bai Lili's team spoke with great interest.
【Four-Leaf Clover】, this is the code name of this dark green magical girl, the youngest member of the team, and a member who recently joined.
She loves cute things, listens to herself and her teammates, and is very likable, as does Bai Lili herself.
"Don't let their cute appearance fool you, pandas are actually quite powerful fighters; after all, they are bears after all."
"Eh... I see... Even magical girls can't beat them?"
"That's not necessarily true, but it's absolutely not possible for ordinary people."
Observe in silence.
Hyacinth and her group seemed to have figured out some feasibility of the flyer rules, and split into two groups to look for clues at the flyer points and brochures near the panda park. Bai Lili felt that she was a little free at the moment, so she also followed her juniors to watch the pandas.
The more Bai Lili stared at the panda, the more blurry her eyes became, so she couldn't help but rub them.
"Captain, are your eyes bothering you?"
"Hmm... I guess I'm not used to the concentration of magic in Heart Moon Fox's mental world. I'm also just a shadow of the stars, so I can't fully integrate like you guys..."
Before she could finish speaking, Bai Lili opened her eyes again, and the scene before her made her feel a chill run down her spine, causing her to shudder violently.
—What color is a panda?
Logically, it should be black and white, right? Plus the red of the mucous membrane, there shouldn't be any other colors, right?
...Is the color of a panda dark blue?
Bai Lili immediately pulled out the flyer from her pocket and stared at the rules on the back.
[2. Please ensure that the animal you are looking at looks the same as the one on the display board. If it looks different, please stop looking at the animal and immediately go to the nearest toy store to buy at least one fox plush pillow.]
Oh no! What I feared most has come to pass!
"Four-leaf clover, let's hurry up! Look, there are plush toys at that souvenir shop over there. Let's go check it out."
Bai Lili quickly stopped all her thoughts, patted her junior on the shoulder, and directed her gaze to the souvenir shop not far away. The latter immediately and happily moved towards it.
"Hello, Miss Four-Leaf Clover~"
A smiling shop assistant stood in a nearby store, her clothes printed with a fox radish logo, clearly a familiar that Xin Yuehu had specially arranged for her to be there.
"Wow, you can actually talk to me? You're not an illusion after all."
Clover said in surprise, but it seemed that she didn't have any ill intentions towards Heart Moon Fox, she was just a little wary.
After all, she was still a child herself... Bai Lili thought to herself.
"Yes, Miss Bai Lili is here too. Are you two looking to pick out some souvenirs or merchandise? I can give you one for free."
"I'm familiar," the shop assistant said with a smile, taking two fox plush toys down from the display stand behind him.
The doll was made of very soft and comfortable material, and the golden fox design was also very appealing. Clover immediately hugged it happily.
"This is so cute! Are you really giving it to me for free?"
"Yes, I hope you two have a pleasant day at the Fox Zoo~"
Bai Lili said goodbye to the familiar shop clerk in a daze, staring blankly at the cute fox doll in her hand, but no longer daring to go closer to the fence of the panda garden.
……
"What? You saw a dark blue panda?"
When Hyacinth and the other two saw Lily and Clover rushing over, and then saw the fox doll in their hands, they immediately understood what was going on.
"Really! I really saw a dark blue panda!" Bai Lili said anxiously.
"Blue pandas? But all I've seen are black and white ones..." Clover replied, puzzled, but she seemed to realize that something was wrong, so she silently began to think.
Hyacinth didn't quite understand what kind of game "Strange Tales of Rules" was, but Iris looked serious as she stared at Lily in front of her.
"Senior Bai Lili, did you notice anything unusual when you were in the tiger enclosure?"
"No, at most I just... ah!!"
Before she could finish speaking, Bai Lili let out a scream, nearly dropping the doll in her hand, and hurriedly hugged it tightly.
"I remember now! I just... I just saw the white tiger's eyes... they were... they were a yellowish-green color!"
"Unusual color... I remember the white tiger I saw had red eyes..."
The group exchanged glances, their expressions growing even more serious.
"I see, I understand now."
Iris nodded and said,
"Senior Bai Lili, you just saw a white tiger that was different from the one on the display board, and you didn't go to the store to buy a fox pillow as the rules said, so you have been punished by some unknown entity."
"But you can't keep breaking the rules. What you saw in the tiger enclosure was only the abnormality in their eyes, but in the panda enclosure, even their body color is showing signs of abnormality. Who knows what might happen next..."
"What...what do I do? Am I doomed?!" Bai Lili was terrified.
First the eyes, then the body color; I'm afraid I'll soon see the complete hellcat standing in the animal viewing platform, grinning at me.
so horrible!
"Don't worry, breaking the rules once or twice won't cause too much trouble. Besides, the rules say that as long as you hold onto the fox plushie, nothing will happen. Don't worry."
The nightingale offered comfort.
"What are you all talking about here?"
Suddenly, Mai Sui's voice rang out, and everyone turned to look at her. They saw her walking over, holding a fox plush toy in her left hand and a tail pillow in her right, with a fox-themed hat on her head. She was practically wearing a Heart Moon Fox themed T-shirt.
"Do you really have to do this? You haven't triggered the rule restrictions yet," Hyacinth complained.
"Hmm? Isn't this just taking precautions? Besides, these accessories are quite cute." Mai Sui shrugged and said.
Hyacinth sighed, looked around, and suddenly realized something was wrong.
Where did Green Ivy and the others go?
