Toyokawa Shoko doesn't want to become a witch

Are you really willing to put so much effort into this?

Three sentries completely blocked the infiltration route, so Xiangzi had no choice but to knock one unconscious and force his way through. As for the unconscious magical girl, he'd deal with that when he came out. Given the vast difference in their strength, he should be able to make her forget she was unconscious.

After that, Mu will need to unlock it.

According to Meow Dream, Mutsu's magic was practically made for unlocking doors. With Mutsu's skill in using the threads as extensions of her body, it didn't take long for the lock to click open.

Before the patrolling sentries arrived, two figures quietly slipped into the interior of the art museum.

Before entering the inner area, Xiangzi had already mentally prepared himself for a denser guard post inside. After all, with such a large-scale operation outside, it was impossible for there to be nothing inside.

The fact is...

There really was nothing inside.

Xiangzi was a little surprised.

The interior offices are still arranged in a circular layout, and you can see inside through the transparent glass doors, suggesting that people are still working here during the day.

The interior space has two doors, placed diagonally opposite each other, separated by a huge room in the middle.

Is it really that simple inside?

No, of course not.

The most striking feature of the entire interior area is a large blank space at the very center. This is a large, complete room with two security doors placed side by side; Xiangzi couldn't find any other way in except through these two doors.

This must be the art storage room.

However, this art storage room is currently covered by a witch's barrier, making it completely inaccessible.

The Tale of Reincarnation: The Shore of Oblivion: Chapter 462 The More Chaotic, the Better

The two doors of the art storage room were covered by an unknown witch's barrier, with faintly glowing patterns covering the door panels. The patterns on the two adjacent door panels combined to form a strange yet beautiful "lock" shape.

Xiangzi walked around the entire art supply storage room and found that only these two doors had the pattern of the witch's barrier.

Normally, such a pattern is also the entrance to the witch's barrier, a method for witches to enter the witch's barrier unconsciously.

However, the lock pattern in front of us is just a lock, not a real barrier.

"Is there a way to open these two doors?" Xiangzi asked.

Mu shook his head.

The two doors were completely sealed with lock-like patterns, making it impossible for any thread to enter. To get in, one would probably need to use force, but that would definitely trigger an alarm.

Xiangzi bit his lower lip lightly.

This is probably the witch's ability; you have to kill the witch to unlock these two doors.

Xiangzi took two steps back, looked at the tightly locked door, and rubbed his temples in exasperation.

It was expected that the eulogists would use a witch to protect what was hidden inside, but where was the witch? What was blocking their way was only the witch's power, not the witch herself, and she wasn't even inside her barrier.

To kill this witch blocking the way, the first thing to do is to find the witch's barrier.

The witch's barrier, a trap used by witches to hide themselves while hunting their prey, is characterized by its indiscriminate nature. Therefore, it's unlikely that the barrier is behind the door. If that's the case, Xiangzi should have a way to get in.

Therefore, it must be maintaining this lock somewhere else.

Where would that be?

I've checked all the offices, and there's no trace of a witch's barrier.

In other words, it is not within the inner circle, but within the outer circle.

As for the outer ring... she's already been to every place she could see, except...

"Mu."

Xiangzi poked Mu's waist.

"I know where we're going."

Security monitoring room.

The museum's monitoring room is a three-sided windowed building perched in a corner of the lobby. To get there, you don't need to go through the inner circle; instead, you go up a separate staircase.

That's right, this is the place.

Xiangzi walked into the empty security monitoring room and stared at the pattern of the witch's barrier formed by the display screen.

The entire security system was controlled by the witch; all the surveillance and listening devices they saw were guarded by the witch.

"How could they possibly train a witch to this extent?" Xiangzi was quite impressed with the magical girl of the eulogy school. (Part 2) [Guilty tumor?u〖(;One) scattered liu looked at her.]

However, while she was impressed, admiration only made her more cautious towards her enemies.

Xiangzi swallowed hard, took a step forward, and entered the witch's barrier.

===========

【Witch's Name: Deep Stone Lullaby】

The nature of this is possessiveness; it means protecting one's cherished possessions and not allowing anyone other than oneself to touch them.

Xiangzi recorded this part in text form on his tablet and projected it onto the TV in the villa.

“The Deep Stone Lullaby controls the entire museum’s security system and is the core of the Ode to the Museum’s security system,” Xiangzi explained to the people sitting in front of the sofa. “The good news is that this system has a serious flaw: the Deep Stone Lullaby itself does not have combat capabilities. Under the Ode to the magical girl’s tutelage, it has become a complete part of the security system.”

"What's the bad news?" Flame asked.

"The bad news is that the eulogists have clearly come up with a way to make up for it."

Xiangzi swiped the stylus on the tablet to switch to the next PowerPoint presentation, which was a topographical map of the entire art museum and the nearby square, covered with Xiangzi's cheat sheets.

"What is this? It's such a mess." Kyoko yawned. "Can't we just storm in and wipe them all out—"

She made two chopping motions.

"—Should we kill them all like this, and then go in?"

knock--

Sayaka gave Kyoko a chop to the neck.

"You idiot, can't you listen to what other people are saying?"

"Fighting head-on is certainly possible, provided we can win. The Kamibama Magic Alliance and Paspale have already shown us the cost-effectiveness of head-on combat." Xiangzi put one hand on his hip and shrugged. "Very low."

Leaving aside the gap in strength and information, let's just talk about the injury.

The wounds inflicted by the attacks from the other side couldn't even be healed by the magical girl's self-healing abilities. They were fighting a battle in which they couldn't replenish their losses, while the enemy not only had information but also supplies. A direct confrontation was simply not worthwhile.

"So what are you planning to do?" Kyoko asked, rubbing her head after being tapped.

"Senior Xiangzi called us all over, so he must already have a plan," Xiaoyuan said with a smile.

"Of course, otherwise why would I call you here?" Xiangzi raised his chin matter-of-factly and snorted arrogantly. "But don't worry, you'll get your share of the direct combat you've been asking for. You'll like this plan."

"How so?" Xingzi grinned.

"Why do you only think about fighting?" Sayaka sighed, rubbing her forehead.

"Hehe, okay, don't get too excited yet."

Xiangzi clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention to the fight.

"first......"

=======

Afternoon the next day.

Kyoko and Sayaka walked through the security gates and entered the outer area of ​​the art museum.

“As expected, we were sent here to do this kind of thing.” Sayaka looked unusually reserved. “As expected, they knew the moment we walked in.”

"Hehe, I quite like it."

Kyoko held the back of her head with both hands, revealing her mischievous little tiger teeth, her eyes darting around. Ever since they entered, several furtive glances had been directed at them. Kyoko had already noticed the magical girls lurking in the shadows, but she didn't care at all.

"Don't be so reserved, after all..."

Kyoko patted Sayaka's shoulder hard, and then, in full view of everyone, took out her Soul Gem.

She curled her lips into a mocking smile at the magical girls lurking in the shadows.

"Our mission is to create chaos, the more chaos the better!"

The shimmering red light covered the entire apricot.

Click.

A crack split open in the middle of the "cocoon" made of red light, and a magical girl dressed in magical girl attire appeared in the hall of the art museum, holding a long spear that could transform into a multi-section staff.

Buzz————!

The moment she completed her transformation, the fire alarm sounded in the art museum, and ordinary people who were unaware of what was happening began to scramble to escape from the museum. At the same time, the light of transformation also flashed in several hidden corners.

Xingzi stood motionless in the crowd, hoisted her spear, and beckoned to them.

"Come on, you bunch of trash."

The Tale of Reincarnation: The Shore of Oblivion: Chapter 463 Three Deadly Minutes (Part 2)

“After causing chaos, Deep Stone Lullaby should go into alert mode, and that’s when the main force will step in.” Xiangzi pointed to Yan, Xiaoyuan, Mu, and himself. “The four of us will form a group and be responsible for breaking through the security system—that is, Deep Stone Lullaby.”

"The four of us will enter the museum half an hour earlier than Kyoko and Sayaka, just like last time, and keep a low profile."

She gestured on the screen using the infrared light from the stylus.

"This is where Kyoko and Sayaka fought. If the fight starts in this direction, the crowd will run towards the security door leading to the monitoring room. We can take this opportunity to sneak up into the monitoring room."

======

So, while the red magical girl was fighting with another group of people, four inconspicuous figures broke away from the chaotic crowd and went straight to the monitoring room.

There are people in the monitoring room during the day, but they are just a few ordinary people controlled by the Witch's Kiss.

Xiangzi and Yan each pulled out a Taser and used it to incapacitate the enemy as quickly as possible. Then, without stopping, they jumped into the entrance of the barrier and entered the interior.

The barrier of Deep Stone Lullaby consists of only one large room, several hundred square meters in size and five meters high, which is further divided into two smaller rooms, one black and one white, by a glass curtain wall.

Black and white stood in stark contrast on either side of the glass wall. As soon as Xiangzi entered the barrier, she stepped onto the floor of the white room. There were several transparent glass panels on the floor of the white room and the black room on the other side of the wall. Looking down through the glass, one could see that the room actually had two floors. The floor below the glass had more server-shaped pillars similar to those on the first floor.

In addition, there is an exceptionally large server pillar in the very center of the room, with three fuses embedded in it, each covered by a transparent dome. From the perspective of the white room, there are three fuses; there are also three more on the side behind the wall.

=======

"As mentioned before, Deep Stone Lullaby has no ability to protect itself. Once it enters alert mode, someone will naturally come to protect the safety of the main body."

"By the way, if it can't protect itself, why don't we just sneak in and kill it? Why go through all that trouble to put it into alert mode?"

"Because it will only relinquish control of its barrier to the supporter in the alert mode, whether the supporter is a witch or a magical girl. The process of transferring authority is our opportunity to interfere and exploit this loophole to kill it."

Xiangzi said.

"Where did you get so much information?" Xingzi blinked, feeling that Xiangzi knew everything about this witch.

"I have my own way of doing things," Xiangzi said calmly.

She found an "Instruction Manual" inside the barrier, which detailed the working logic and daily maintenance requirements of the Deep Stone Lullaby, which was written as "Witch" but read as "Security System".

The eulogists have completely instrumentalized and standardized this witch, including her assimilated clones, and placed them in every corner of Kamihama.

Xiangzi did consider brute force, but the other party had obviously taken this into account, so they designed a self-destruct process specifically for the witch, making a brute force attempt futile.

She glanced briefly at the structure inside the barrier, and before leaving, she made sure to restore the sentry patrol, lest the patrolling girl be discovered by her companions if she disappeared for too long.

After returning to the attic, Xiangzi spent the whole day taking notes and writing cheat sheets, finally figuring out the witch and formulating his current plan.

No one knows which careless person from the eulogist faction left it behind after finishing the repairs, but Xiangzi was extremely grateful to that person.

"Let's get back to the main topic."

Xiangzi cleared his throat.

"The alert mode is divided into two phases. The first phase is a 30-second judgment period. This is when Kyoko causes chaos. It will judge the level of threat and decide whether to enter the second phase."

"second stage?"

"The second phase will be when it will fully enter alert mode. When the time reaches a predetermined threshold, the witch of Deep Stone Lullaby—that is, the big pillar in the middle of the room—will think that it cannot defend against intruders and will self-destruct, completely blocking the way to the art storage room."
