To find the Hero Association terminal that Albatross had hidden somewhere in Rongcheng and retrieve any strictly encrypted information it might contain, Su Tianqing and the Hero Association used up nine cats and two foxes' worth of effort.
They not only brought the Bai Lili and Qiu Gui squads—teams with exceptional overall strength—to Rongcheng, but also widely distributed invitation letters throughout the surrounding magical girl community, getting as many people as possible to help with the investigation.
As long as more people joined in, they might just see through Albatross's train of thought when she chose her hiding spot, and thus further deduce its location! At least, that was the initial plan.
...Could this idea actually work, though?
"Rest assured, it definitely will." Qiu Baiyang gave a thumbs-up, speaking to the golden-haired fox lady beside her.
"Don't let Albatross's agile yet chaotic train of thought fool you, but overall, she's actually pretty easy to guess."
"Even you guys can only guess?" Su Tianqing felt a little less confident inside.
Qiu Baiyang had been specially called over by the Hero Association to help out, yet all she heard from her mouth were words like "guess" and "surmise." For the first time, Su Tianqing harbored doubts about whether this treasure hunt could actually be finished.
In reality, every magical girl who joined the competition was informed about Albatross upon signing up, and they all knew that this publicly announced "search for the great secret treasure" was just a facade. Even so, it didn't affect the process of the competition—
Obtaining the terminal's signal characteristics from the association's Logistics Department, imagining what "safe places" Albatross could have hidden it in, and then searching those places carefully in hopes of uncovering that terribly expensive terminal in every sense of the word.
To the point
