Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

As the system's voice fell, a "screen" with various characters suddenly appeared in Xiuer's field of vision.

"...Magical Girl...Madoka?"

Is this true, magical girl?

Shuul has some ** in his heart, and there are many works related to magical girls.

He had heard of this name before, it was from an anime.

But he hasn't seen it. After all, he doesn't watch this kind of anime. At most, he just heard from other people that it was a healing anime.

But to be honest, in Shul's image, the world with magical girls generally has a family-friendly style.

And correspondingly, the characters in this type of work may even have some abilities that would be exaggerated in regular works.

In other words, it should be a nice place that's safe and full of great data.

"Ask, do you want to continue?"

"agree."

"World confirmed, channel construction begins..."

It was still the familiar safety warning, the familiar shock wave generated by breaking through the dimensional wall, everything was the same as at the beginning.

The system had said the same words in Xiuer's mind for the fourth time.

And Xiuer didn't find it noisy at all. No matter how many times he did it, he always maintained a high level of enthusiasm for this kind of thing.

After dozens of seconds, the shock wave in the space finally stopped after appearing five times.

Compared to the past, it seems that the dimensional wall of this world is relatively solid.

Fortunately, a golden space channel appeared in front of Xiuer. Looking at the vortex in front of him, Xiuer took a breath and took a step forward.

……

----

……

This is a city with a very avant-garde architectural style. Various advanced facilities and buildings that are far beyond the ordinary people's understanding can be seen everywhere in this city.

Its vast area and complete facilities are enough to show the prosperity of this city.

According to Shul, the appearance of this city is quite similar to that of a sci-fi near-future style.

It was already late in the evening, and the stars were hanging high in the sky, forming a beautiful picture on the dark curtain.

The night is deep.

At this moment, the city has already fallen into a deep sleep.

In a quiet alley somewhere in this prosperous city, a golden vortex descended into the world silently.

A blue puppet walked out of the vortex, and the various mechanical patterns on its face disappeared under a faint light when it landed on the ground.

The pair of beautiful golden amber eyes were also filled with "life" in the blink of an eye.

As Xuer just landed, the space vortex that brought him here quickly shrank and disappeared.

"Successfully arrived, dimensional energy remaining... 99.9%."

"Searching for tasks..."

"..."

"……Um?"

The system's voice fell silent. It seemed that this task could not be solved in an instant.

He briefly scanned the surrounding terrain. The coverage of various technological equipment undoubtedly showed the prosperity of the city and also reflected the technological level of this world.

Xiuer blinked. In this dark alley, his eyes, which radiated majesty, were particularly bright.

"Modern city?"

Fortunately, no one would pass by here at this time, otherwise they would definitely be scared by the glowing eyes in the darkness.

“This level of technology”

—【Opening of the Classic】—【Whispering Chapter】—

There is no doubt that the first thing he did when he arrived in the strange world was to activate his strongest intelligence search ability.

Of course, the searchable content of the Whispering Chapter is based on the progress of world analysis.

But every time you enter a new world, the initial progress of this weapon is random... at least it seems "random" to Xuer.

So no matter what the reason was, he had to confirm the situation of the accusation first.

"Confused? It's only 5%."

This is undoubtedly a very unfortunate situation.

Although it immediately rose by 0.1% in the next second, it was better than nothing.

Since the most important means at the moment is temporarily useless, we can only activate the backup plan.

Xuul raised his arm, and after a faint flash of light, dozens of fist-sized micro drones were released into the sky.

While he was doing this series of work, his radar detection showed that some kind of life form was approaching his position at a slow speed.

……

Chapter 2: Cute White Creature

Is there anyone still walking outside at this time?

While doing his work, Xiuer paid attention to the situation in the detector.

Although the exact time in this world is still unknown, we can at least get a rough idea of ​​the time period based on the sky.

What he was sure of was that the current time was probably three o'clock in the morning.

Anyone who can still hang out outside at this time must be some office worker working overtime.

If it was just an ordinary person passing by, Xiuer would naturally not pay much attention to him, but the detection results showed that this "passerby" was approaching him.

Besides, the distance is already within a thousand meters.

While releasing the last drone in his hand, Xiuer once again began to scan the surrounding environment.

In an instant, a 3D stereoscopic image of the outlines of buildings within a radius of 100 miles appeared in his field of vision, including all the pedestrians within it.

Then he discovered that the signal point approaching him was not a "person", but seemed to be a small animal.

"..."

Looking at the outline of the animal a few streets away, Xiuer couldn't help but think.

Because it was obviously somewhat different from the species he remembered.

cat?

dog?

They are somewhat similar, but not the same.

He had only experienced a similar situation with Fu Fu before.

This strange creature naturally aroused Xuer's curiosity.

Since this world is always a world of magical girls, creatures of unknown species like this are very likely the mascots that accompany the girls in those works.

If we catch it, won't we be able to find those magical girls hiding among mortals?

The system's tasks have not been retrieved yet, so Xiuer is not planning to make any big moves for the time being, so as to avoid his actions that may affect the progress of the task.

However, there will be no such troubles in the intelligence gathering work before this.

And he planned to do so.

The nearby high-rise buildings blocked the moonlight, plunging the intersection of the alley into pitch darkness. The street lights at the intersection became the only source of light in this dim alley.

The slender figure jumped and landed silently on the street light at the intersection.

As a faint light appeared, Xuer's figure disappeared in the blink of an eye.

He activated the "Invisibility Magic" and stood on the street lamp, waiting for the arrival of his prey.

……

The waiting time was not long. Almost half a minute after Xuer entered "invisibility", a small and exquisite white creature came into his sight.

The white creature walked past the bottom of the street lamp, seemingly unaware that it had entered someone's hunting range.

Xuul stood quietly on the street lamp, even the light emitted during analysis was hidden by his "invisibility magic".

He silently observed the movements of the creature below, and while analyzing its data, he was also curious about why this creature came here.

After all, the existing intelligence was completely insufficient to support his behavioral analysis, and he could only obtain initial intelligence through the most primitive observations.

A round face, red round eyes, a big pink and white furry tail, a pair of "ponytails" hanging down from the organs that look like cat ears, and a smile that is always on his face.

Although its species cannot be identified, every aspect of it is full of "cute" elements, and the appearance of this creature seems to embody the "cute" elements in human cognition.

In Xiuer's opinion, such a creature should be quite popular with girls.

From this, we can be sure that this must be the "mascot" in this type of magical girl work.

While Xuer was analyzing, the white creature passing by the street lamp below also walked into the dim alley.

Xuul stood on the street lamp, watching the creature walk back and forth in the alley, searching every corner where people might hide.

From this it seems that it really came for itself.

Even though he had just arrived in this world, this white creature was able to rush to his location in the first place.

Xiuer could be sure that the other party must have some perception ability.

But then again, as a magical girl's partner, it's not surprising that the mascot has all kinds of strange abilities.

After all, some characters in some works can even turn into humans.

Although it didn't see anything, the mascot did not leave but stayed here.

This naturally makes Xiuer's analysis work more convenient.

As mentioned before, he is not planning to do anything to the magical girls at the moment, and all his actions are just preparations before the mission is released.

Therefore, unless it is necessary, he doesn't want to appear in the sight of the magical girls at the beginning.

After searching for a while without any results, the white mascot finally returned to the intersection.

It sat in the light of the street lamp, not knowing what it was thinking. At least Xuul couldn't see much emotion on its face.

But just when he thought the other party would leave, the mascot, who was still thinking, suddenly raised his head and looked at the street lamp above his head.

To be precise, he was looking above the streetlight.

"...?"

Meeting those crimson eyes, Xiuer was slightly stunned.

Discovered?

That's right. After all, in works like magical girls, some of the idealistic powers are even exaggerated and illogical, and the possibility of being discovered is not zero.

He raised his right hand slightly, but only just.

Because the mascot didn't seem to have discovered anything, it was just looking at this place.

After staring at it for dozens of seconds, the creature withdrew its gaze and slowly left the alley.

After watching the other person's figure leave the intersection, Xuer slowly landed on the ground and analyzed the data he had just observed.

But at this moment, he suddenly discovered that the life source reaction of the mascot that had just left, at the same time as it left the range, suddenly another similar reaction source was rapidly approaching here from another direction.

This reaction source appeared almost out of nowhere, and its location was within fifty meters?!

He quickly turned his head to look in the direction of the reaction, and the image of the mascot came into view again.

I saw the pink and white little animal sitting at the edge of the intersection, its red eyes staring at Xuul in the alley.

"..."
