The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"What kind of uniform is your friend wearing?"

Upon hearing Miku's words, Serena stroked her chin and thought for a moment before speaking seriously, "I've never seen it. After all, she said it's confidential and can't be known by others."

"I didn't ask!"

"Fine!"

Miku, having climbed down again, put aside his thoughts and quietly waited for the person to arrive. He would know whether it was really them or not once he looked closely.

Miku could recognize the unique aura of the people from Foundation X even from several streets away.

The wait wasn't long, just a short hour, when the doorbell rang. Serena opened the door from the control center.

Amidst hurried footsteps, a tall and beautiful figure rushed into the reception room, greeted Serena with a cheer, and then ran over.

Miku smiled as he watched Serena being forcibly washed in Miku's arms. He had rarely seen her so aggrieved.

"Oh, I've finally had my fill!" After hugging her for a while, the woman let go of Serena, looked at her carefully, and said happily, "You have no idea, I prepared a really big gift for you this vacation!"

"A grand gift?"

Serena frowned, and the woman nodded rapidly like a chicken pecking at rice. Only then did Miku notice the box in the other woman's handcuffs attached to her wrists.

After the woman placed the suitcase on the coffee table and entered the password, a metal plate on the suitcase flipped open, revealing a fingerprint lock.

"Boom!"

The woman, her long hair flowing, kissed him, leaving her lip print on the fingerprint lock. As she withdrew her lips, three beeps were heard, and the locker opened.

Inside was a strange object. Serena stared at it intently, her eyes widening and her mouth slightly agape as she exclaimed, "A magical artifact!"

"Magic Noble Phantasm?!"

Chapter 74: The magical artifact that Miku "picked up": The Hourglass of Power that reverses direction!

"Magic Noble Phantasm?!"

Miku jumped off the sofa and onto the table, his eyes fixed intently on the box. Serena's friend was also very curious about Miku's sudden outburst.

After all, the cat's ability to speak clearly and articulately greatly piqued her interest, stimulating her researcher's instincts.

Miku immediately noticed the fiery passion in the woman's eyes, but along with the fervor came a chilling undercurrent.

Miku was very familiar with this chill; it was a unique aura that could only be cultivated after trampling on and killing countless lives.

When Miku glanced at her sideways, the woman smiled, revealing her teeth, but the smile was far too peculiar.

It's like a face that's been stiff for so long, barely managing to move its facial muscles and twitch the corners of its mouth.

Upon seeing her, Miku felt like he was seeing a carbon copy of Jia Tou Shun, and this woman was even more dangerous than that expressionless, emotionless man.

At this moment, Miku also took a good look at the woman.

Although her long hair was combed back, a single strand stubbornly stuck up on her forehead. Her large, round eyes held pupils like deep pools, unfathomable and seemingly capable of swallowing one's soul.

Her straight and high nose bridge made her features look extremely three-dimensional, and the touch of red on her cherry lips, paired with her somewhat pale face, gave Miku a strange and decadent beauty.

"Don't look at me like that, or I'll bite you to death!" Miku bared her teeth and forced out a warning from her throat. If she weren't Serena's best friend, Miku would have twisted the woman's head off immediately.

Twist it off cleanly and neatly, without any hesitation.

"Don't look at him like that, he's not easy to appease when he's angry!" Serena tugged at the woman's sleeve, but seeing the pleading look on her face, she glared at her sternly and said, "Amy Lee Cooper!!!"

"Okay, okay, I understand!"

Amy Lee Cooper's face fell, and she waved her hand listlessly, giving Serena a few perfunctory replies.

But her eyes kept sneaking glances at Miku. Seeing this, Serena couldn't help but sigh. Her best friend's temper was really too strange!

She and Miku are both equally dear to her; she can't neglect either of them.

Noticing Amy's gaze, Miku wagged his tail. For Serena's sake, he decided not to stoop to the level of this crazy woman.

Moreover, he had a rough idea of ​​the woman's identity!

The confirmation that it's Foundation X is irrefutable!

Although I don't know what kind of company X is in this world, based on past experience, it's definitely not someone I can get along with.

Miku, who had been ignoring Amy, finally took a good look at the magical artifacts Amy had brought inside the box.

It should be understood that magical artifacts can only be refined and formed after the magical power within a magician's body has been stimulated to its limit. The difficulties and dangers involved are beyond the comprehension of outsiders.

First, one must gradually train the power of the magic source to the critical point, then overcome the resistance of the magic source through special magical awareness, and finally refine and condense it with strong willpower.

No step in this process can be omitted. Each magical artifact, with its extremely demanding crafting conditions, has a unique function.

Sister Fa's Dragon Timer can replicate four dragon clones with their own thoughts and can combine the power of the four dragons to become the full dragon mode.

In this world, there is a history of magicians. Although the number of magicians has been small throughout history, the magical artifacts left behind by the best among them still exist!

This woman truly lives up to her reputation as a member of the X Group, managing to acquire such a precious magical artifact.

The box contained black stuffing, and the magical artifact inside was shaped like an hourglass, but it had a strap at the bottom that resembled a watch strap. The two ends of the hourglass were different colors, one black and the other white.

It contains transparent, colorless sand grains, and its outer shell is engraved with strange tadpole-shaped incantations.

"This thing is interesting!"

Miku raised his paw to touch the hourglass magic artifact, but an unexpected scene unfolded the moment his paw pads touched it.

The tadpole-shaped runes on the surface of the hourglass seemed to come alive, moving around as if shaking their heads and tails, while the color of the sand grains inside rapidly changed from transparent and colorless to golden red.

Seeing this, Miku felt a surge of excitement: "It seems this thing is destined for me!"

"So according to you, this thing has a connection with anything that has a magical reaction!" Amy said quietly, her eyes revealing a strange resentment as she looked at Miku.

"The magical artifact I painstakingly found for Serena, how did it end up being bound to you!"

"Binding?" Miku raised an eyebrow and looked at Serena with a questioning gaze. Serena sighed slightly and explained, "After the original owner of a magical artifact dies, the mage's descendants can activate and reuse it through bloodline. However, if no mage appears for several generations or the family bloodline is broken, the magical artifact will break free from the shackles of bloodline. Once it breaks free from the shackles, it can automatically bind upon contact with magical energy!"

"So, I really got a great deal!"

After hearing Serena's explanation, Miku's surprise and excitement subsided somewhat, but it still lingered in his heart.

"What is the ability of this magical artifact?"

Miku, who was looking at Amy with a questioning gaze, tilted her head. Amy pushed up her non-existent eyes and calmly said, "I can tell you, but you need me to collect the relevant data!"

“No problem!” Miku’s quick agreement surprised Amy, who secretly regretted not making more requests.

You should know that Miku was the first intelligent and magical animal she had ever seen in all her years in the organization.

Although she had done related research before, after ruining so many animal lives, she was disheartened to discover that animals are ultimately just animals. Even with genetic guidance, the final product is nothing more than biological weapons and killing tools.

They have absolutely no sense of self, only thoughts and instincts about fighting and killing. In fact, as the experiments progressed, the experimental animals either became monsters or died tragically.

But a senior researcher is still a senior researcher. After readjusting her mindset, Amy looked at the hourglass in the box and said in a serious tone, "The name of this magical artifact is: The Hourglass of Power that Reverses Directions!"

"The Hourglass of Power?" Miku, whose interest had been fully piqued, gently stroked the surface of the hourglass. The light on the hourglass's surface expanded and contracted accordingly, as if responding to Miku.

"The original owner of this hourglass was a ghost with two sides. This ghost had two different sides that were both opposed to and symbiotic with each other, so its abilities were related to this!"

As Amy spoke, she picked up the hourglass and said to Miku, "I see the pendant around your neck; you have a driver, don't you?"

"If you have one, then transform!"

"Let me demonstrate it to you right here!"

“No problem!” Miku nodded and transformed without hesitation. After transforming, Miku took the Hourglass of Power from Amy’s hand. After the hourglass was in Miku’s hand, the straps on both sides automatically extended and tied to his left wrist.

"What's next?"

"Now, it's time to witness a miracle!" Amy's smile was quite enigmatic as she pulled out an energy weapon.

Ten seconds later, Serena's apartment exploded, and one wall was reduced to ashes.

Standing amidst the rubble, Miku looked at the hourglass of power in his hand and muttered to himself, "This thing is really awesome!"

Amy brushed away the dust in front of her, her eyes filled with fervent excitement as she looked at Miku. She was quite certain that she had stumbled upon the treasure by sheer luck!

This cat will be a major breakthrough in her research!

She will lead a new era, a new trend!

Leaving aside the shocked Miku and the fanatical Amy, Serena, her face as black as the bottom of a pot, spoke slowly and deliberately: "You two!!!"

Chapter 75: The Magician Meets with Regio!

"Whoosh..."

Lifting the plastic sheet hanging at the store entrance to conceal the interior, Sister Fa followed Ali back to the Shadow Studio.

Not long after Fajie obtained the Dragon Timer, the White Flute player allowed her to take Alex away. Upon seeing Fajie again, Alex gripped her hand tightly.

It looks exactly like a frightened little rabbit!

In response, Sister Fa could only offer silent comfort and companionship, after all, having gone through something like this, it's impossible to say there was no problem.

After leading Ali into the store, Sister Fa found that the once messy lobby had been mostly cleaned up, and with the plastic sheet hanging at the entrance, it was clear that they were planning to renovate the Mianyingtang store.

"Uncle Wajima, I'm back!"

After a shout, a commotion came from the second floor, and Wajima Shigeru hurriedly ran downstairs.

"Are you alright, Haruko?"

"It's alright!" Sister Fa smiled slightly, noticing that Alex was holding her hand tighter.

"Alex is back too! That's great!"

Wajima Shigeru rubbed his hands together with relief, his eyes filled with tears as he looked at the two people in front of him. After spending time together, Wajima Shigeru had come to regard the two of them as his own children.

Seeing that they were alright, I was naturally very relieved.

"Whoosh..."

The plastic sheeting was lifted again, and Rinko rushed in, bag slung over her shoulder. Before she could even catch her breath, she exclaimed urgently, "Haruko, you're back..."

Seeing the gate of the gate, Rinko breathed a slight sigh of relief. Since yesterday, cases of people falling into comas for unknown reasons had been occurring continuously.
