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

The albatross hurriedly left, leaving the hyacinth to wander alone in the Millennium.

As they walked, even with Nan Xiaofeng's poor concentration, she could still see a significant change in the environment compared to when she came in yesterday:

When I entered yesterday, the whole city looked brand new. The office buildings and roadside shops were spotless, as if the shop owners and office workers had disappeared in an instant, without any trace of dirt or emergency evacuation.

But when I entered today, I noticed something strange: a thin layer of dust began to appear on the shop window glass, the weeds in the green belt gradually increased, and the roots of the banyan tree began to hang down densely, as if a long time had passed.

It's been less than 24 hours since I last entered, how could such a big change have occurred?

Hyacinth happened to pass by a dessert shop and peeked at the various breads, cakes, and cookies on the shelves. They were all covered in dust, but what intrigued Hyacinth was that even though a thin layer of dust had accumulated on the surface of these foods, there was no sign of mold or spoilage.

This is obviously impossible in everyday life.

Is it because these foods are made of different materials? Or does the concept of "spoilage" simply not exist in this strange mental world?

Hyacinth had a thought that might get her scolded: why not just dust them off and taste them to see if they've gone bad?

Fortunately, this strange thought didn't last long; just two seconds later, she slapped herself across the face and sent it to the other side of the astral plane.

.

After that, a considerable amount of time was spent exploring the large-scale area of ​​Chengdu in the new millennium.

Hyacinth set off at nine in the morning and wandered around until noon before finally finding a place to sit down and rest.

The magical storage space contains plenty of food and water, so there's no need to worry about supplies. But for Hyacinth, even if she doesn't eat or drink for a whole day, nothing will happen... at most, her stomach will rumble with hunger.

At lunchtime, Hyacinth also realized another very important question: what does Albatross usually eat?

"Since this place is separated from the Chengdu we know, if Elder Albatross has been living here for many years, what does she usually eat?"

Hyacinth spoke to the group on the other end of the Divine Stone Communication, who were each enjoying their boxed lunches.

"Why don't you just ask her? How would we know what she usually eats?" Nightingale swallowed the food in her mouth and replied, continuing to shovel rice into her mouth.

"However, judging from your findings, the food in the millennium did not spoil, and it seems that there is really no problem in supplying the daily life of an albatross."

Besides the supply issues, many weaknesses of the Mind World were also exposed with the help of a series of wonderful little fox gadgets obtained from Heart Moon Fox.

After lunch, Hyacinth continued its journey around the millennium-old Chengdu city.

The albatross did not reappear until the sun set.

The intelligence gathered by Hyacinth was successfully transmitted to the outside world, but when looking at the large number of questions that had been filtered out, even someone as good-natured as Su Tianqing couldn't help but frown and mutter to herself:

"My God... this place is like having a balloon filled with boiling water hanging overhead, this is just too much..."

The muttering was overheard by the people around them. Hellcat Cheshire Rabbit leaned forward to take a look at the densely packed list that spanned several pages, while Iris, who was nearby, also curiously peeked over. When they looked at each other, they both had expressions of utter disbelief.

In most cases, the mental world is quite stable.

During the period of fighting against Garuda, the whimsical mental images created by the newcomer Marigold and the reserve Sasha unfolded layer by layer, resisting Garuda's invasion of the present world.

Even if two complete novices are creating wildly imaginative works, there will be no signs of instability in the mental world. Even if it is invaded by Garuda, it will only have its traits distorted, and it is unlikely to suffer a fatal collapse.

The metaphor of "a balloon filled with boiling water" is very apt. The "Millennium" that now covers Chengdu is riddled with holes, and even its underlying architecture is the most basic and subjective version, which is incomparable to the new mental world created by Xin Yuehu.

Here's a simpler example:

Red Rose and Crimson Snow's world of imagination is a simple, convenient, and universally applicable all-in-one Windows, while Heart Moon Fox is a highly customizable modular Linux. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, but they are the most suitable types for their respective users.

And now, this suddenly emerging millennium-era Chengdu...

"It's like installing a very basic, rudimentary operating system into an antique computer that has been running for over a decade without being shut down or cleaned."

Xin Yuehu tried her best to describe and explain.

"Its logic is very abstract, and it is full of the creator's wonderful little ideas... No, it should be called creative thinking."

"...Could it be any simpler?" Hyacinth pressed.

"I can't completely repair it, I can only fill some very dangerous gaps." Xin Yuehu's answer this time was very concise and clear, simple and easy to understand, even Fengxinzi could understand it.

The discussion about stability ended there. The familiars, carrying various tools, dispersed to different parts of Rongcheng to begin maintenance, attempting to plug the major and fatal flaws of [Millennium] through external sealing.

The biggest problem for Su Tianqing was the possible existence of a death cycle in the mental world. There was currently a lack of conclusive evidence for this, and more investigation results were needed. Her attention was then focused on the hints conveyed by the albatross.

[Leave a message in Chengdu]

[Decoding Intelligence in Chengdu Today]

The concept proposed by Alice and Jack inspired me.

Albatross couldn't tell Hyacinth the crucial information, and she was trying to establish a connection with the "future" in various ways. She may have made countless attempts over the years, but it wasn't until today that she was discovered by the new generation of magical girls.

Especially when the hyacinth mentioned football, the albatross's unusual reaction almost clearly indicated that the matter was related to her.

So what medium does she plan to use next?

Hyacinth didn't bring anything to the new millennium this time. Food packaging and empty water bottles were carefully preserved in the magical space to ensure that no unexpected dangers would occur.

There are many "information carriers" that allow albatrosses to make modifications in their mental images, but the most likely ones are the bronze statues that she observed with the hyacinth.

The bronze human-shaped statue on Chu Hee Road is one of the iconic buildings of this commercial street.

After years of repairs and maintenance, the number of bronze statues is now less than half of what it used to be. Hyacinth can't even remember which statues were moved or destroyed. If the albatross left its message on a statue that no longer exists...

Upon hearing what Xin Yuehu said, Liuxing didn't sit still. With her teleportation ability, she immediately disappeared from the war room, as if she were going directly to the scene to investigate.

But less than twenty seconds after disappearing, the spatial ability user reappeared in the conference room, his face filled with disbelief.

"Good news and bad news, which do you want to hear first?"

"Good news." Qi Yun replied without hesitation, knowing her colleague's style very well.

"The good news is that we shouldn't lose the information Albatross gave us."

"And the bad news?"

"...all the statues have been returned to where they were in the year 2000, including those that were destroyed."

Xin Yuehu's eyes widened, and she hurriedly asked:

"Those that were destroyed? But weren't buildings and stalls erected in their original locations? If they were moved back to their original positions..."

After a few seconds of pause, Qi Yun grabbed the walkie-talkie and sounded the Hero Association's attendance alarm.

"Attention everyone! Immediately block off Qiuxi Road and evacuate all personnel!"

"Always be aware of the risk of building collapse!!"
