A gust of wind swept by, disturbing the hearts of the people.
Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu looked at Mengmeng in disbelief.
Was capturing a rabbit truly a mission?
"Does the mission you posted really count?
What kind of bullshit mission is this?
If we knew this was a real mission, we would have captured the rabbit alive for you no matter what!"
Wan Lei was exasperated. Who knew that Mengmeng's joking, wild idea would actually be a legitimate mission?
"Yes, it's a mission. You just need to catch that rabbit, and the fourth stage of the mission will be completed, and you can see the Bridge of Helplessness.
Alas, I kindly wanted to help you, but you didn't believe me, you ungrateful souls. What a great opportunity that was just now.
All you had to do was walk over, catch this rabbit, and your journey in this world would be almost over.
Now, the Deathbird thinks you killed the rabbit, and you've been cursed by the Deathbird.
It's all over, it's all over, you five are doomed."
Mengmeng sighed, looking at Wan Lei and the others with pity.
"Fine, I'll go back to the amusement park and play with the next group when they arrive. I won't play with you ungrateful fellows anymore."
Saying that, Mengmeng got up and prepared to leave.
Fang Xiaoyu grabbed Mengmeng's small hand.
"Um... Miss Mengmeng, don't go. We've known each other for so long. If you leave, you might not find such like-minded good friends, right?"
"What's the use of even the best friends? You'll be dead in two hours, maybe even less than two hours.
I'm kind-hearted and can't stand to see others die in front of me, so I should leave."
"Don't go, don't go, help us! How much do you know about that Deathbird's curse?"
"Not much, I only know that everyone cursed by the Deathbird dies miserably. Oh dear, I can't stand to see blood. You'll be dead in front of me soon."
As she said this, Mengmeng's big eyes suddenly spun, and a look of joy appeared on her face. Seeing this, everyone's spirits lifted, thinking she had a good idea.
"It's good that you're all dead. Once you're dead, you can go directly to the Bridge of Helplessness. Aren't you always going there?"
"..."
"But we don't want to reincarnate. We have to go back after getting what we came for."
"Then I'll leave. You go your way, and I'll go mine.
If you die completely, we can still collect your bodies. I'll bury you in Lingshan Cemetery and burn some paper for you next Qingming..."
"Goddess Mengmeng, don't go! Isn't the Deathbird's curse just bad luck? We're not afraid."
Wan Lei pointed at Hong Lian and the other two.
"See these three? They have luck bonuses. Each of them is a kept man of the Goddess of Luck. With their luck, we can completely resist the bad luck of the curse."
Mengmeng turned to look at the trio with an incredulous expression.
"Would the Goddess of Luck, that b*tch, fancy these three losers?"
"???" The three losers.
"Oh, don't mind the details. This park is so gloomy, I don't think it's very safe. Let's hurry and leave, find an open space outside, and I don't believe anything can suddenly appear and hit us."
"But, will that really be safe?"
"What else can we do? Besides, we have Goddess Mengmeng to shelter us. I don't believe there's anyone more powerful than Mengmeng in this world."
"Of course, Mengmeng is the most powerful."
Mengmeng smiled proudly, waved her hand, and led everyone out of the park.
Wan Lei thought flying into the air would be safer, but since he met Mengmeng, he hadn't seen her fly once, so he assumed she couldn't.
Mengmeng got back on her cute little bicycle and hummed a nursery rhyme. This time, Wan Lei and the others clearly heard what she was humming.
"Crimson moonlight illuminates the night...
Faded petals become camouflage...
Lost souls sing in a daze...
Faithless birds bring sorrow..."
Wan Lei's first reaction was, what kind of nursery rhyme is this, why is it so eerie and terrifying?
His second reaction sent a shiver down his spine.
These four lines were the names of his four missions!
This Mengmeng clearly knew their missions.
Then what was her purpose in being by their side?
Was she really here to help them, or to lead them into a trap?
For a moment, Wan Lei didn't know whether to trust Mengmeng.
"You must believe Mengmeng. Mengmeng is here to help you. Not believing Mengmeng will result in punishment."
Mengmeng, who was cycling ahead, suddenly spoke.
Just as Wan Lei was surprised that Mengmeng could read his thoughts, she spoke again.
"Watch out for the manhole cover ahead. There are many monsters living underground."
Saying that, Mengmeng steered her bike around the manhole cover on the ground.
Seeing this, Wan Lei and the others also went around it. Just as they were closest to the manhole cover, it suddenly flew open with a bang.
Immediately after, a monster with a hard body and long limbs crawled out of the manhole. Without even glancing at them, it pounced on the recently deceased rabbit and began to tear at it ferociously.
The monster looked like an ordinary reptile, but everyone knew that the strength of any native creature here could not be classified by distinct levels like in the Lei Feng Realm.
You might be able to kill a flying ghost with one palm, but a small animal scurrying on the ground might be an existence you cannot shake.
In short, they had to be careful about everything.
The group walked forward cautiously, approaching the central plaza.
People carefully observed their surroundings, none of them paying attention to the sky.
Hong Lian picked up a branch from the side of the road and swung it a few times, feeling that it would be a reasonable weapon.
After all, he always felt that his own weapons were hard-pressed to harm the monsters here. Thus, he planned to learn from the enemy to defeat the enemy, using things from this world to deal with the monsters of this world.
At this moment, in the sky, a flock of sparrows was chasing an injured wild goose. If nothing unexpected happened, this wild goose would become their food.
Hong Lian wanted to test the power of the branch in his hand, so he tapped it on the ground. The branch broke in response.
The wild goose, with an injured wing, was flying with difficulty. The sound of a branch breaking came from below. Startled, the wild goose immediately flapped its wings desperately.
But how could the injured wing withstand such exertion? It immediately broke a bone.
The wild goose fell downwards, and the sparrows immediately gave chase.
The direction in which the wild goose fell was precisely above Wan Lei and the others.
