Damn it, heh heh.

Your parents died tragically, and you're still laughing?

You're killing me with your filial piety.

Are your Barbie and Mommy's coffin lids still on?

Originally, Jiang Che just wanted to gather some information and didn't expect to see this other side of the child.

At this moment, the little boy tilted his head and said, "Are you here to help me catch ducks?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Che and Zhuge Ye heard the mission prompt in their ears.

"Subtask acquired—[Catch Ducks]"

"Please assist Gou Dan in catching ducks. Rewards will be given immediately upon completion."

Although they received a subtask, Jiang Che and the others could still choose to refuse.

But with no clues in hand, they definitely had to take on the task.

Forget catching ducks, they'd even shovel manure if needed.

So, Jiang Che said, "Yes, we're here to help you catch ducks."

"Then follow me."

After Gou Dan spoke, he headed towards the creek, and Jiang Che and Zhuge Ye exchanged a glance and quickly followed.

The path by the creek was difficult to walk, overgrown with weeds, some taller than a person.

Along the way, Jiang Che saw a lot of trash.

Plastic bags, drink bottles, bras, torn clothes, condoms, etc...

The environmental pollution was severe.

After passing through a patch of grass, they really did see a duck "frolicking" in the water.

Oh my god, the size of this duck was almost as big as a dog.

Next, the three of them worked together to catch the duck, and nothing unexpected happened.

Gou Dan grabbed the duck by the neck and said with a smile, "Thank you for helping me catch the duck."

Immediately, the mission prompt sounded in their ears.

"Subtask completed—[Catch Ducks]"

"Reward received: Mystic Power +10, Windproof Lighter ×1!"

[Windproof Lighter]: Where there's a windproof lighter, fire will burn, and the shadow of the fire will illuminate the village.

Goodness, this lighter must be from the Konoha brand.

After saying goodbye to Gou Dan, the two continued towards the village.

At this moment, Xiaoman suddenly spoke up, "That duck just now, something wasn't right."

Jiang Che: "What do you mean?"

Xiaoman: "That duck had the aura of a living person."

Jiang Che was slightly surprised, "Could that duck be a person? Are we being mentally influenced again?"

Xiaoman: "It shouldn't be a mental influence, at least I didn't sense it. Maybe it's a mechanism of this place."

Jiang Che: "..."

After the two left.

Gou Dan's expression gradually turned sinister.

He looked in the direction Jiang Che had left, tearing off the duck's wing while muttering to himself.

"So many ducks came today..."

...

Soon, Jiang Che and Zhuge Ye arrived at the village entrance.

There was a well at the entrance, and the village was very quiet, with not a soul in sight on the road.

Just then, a strange voice suddenly sounded.

"Glug glug... Who will help... Glug glug, it's so cold, glug glug..."

Jiang Che frowned slightly, "Is someone talking?"

Zhuge Ye nodded, "Judging by the sound, it should be a diver."

"Diver?"

"Is there a problem? No problem."

Jiang Che: "..."

"Glug glug, it's so cold... Glug glug, someone help me..."

The voice came from that ancient well.

But...

Jiang Che's facial muscles twitched a few times.

I know you're uncanny, but isn't talking underwater a bit impolite?

Do you think this creates a spooky atmosphere?

Xiaoman: "Just advanced to E-level uncanny, not very strong."

At the same time, a line of bloody words appeared in Jiang Che's mind.

[Because she discovered the village's secret, the village chief threw her into this damp and cold place overnight, and she was scorned by the entire village. But who would have known that the rotting girl trapped here was once the village's beauty.]

Jiang Che raised an eyebrow, "Shall we go take a look?"

Zhuge Ye looked as if it was the most natural thing, "How could we pass up such an obvious clue?"

Jiang Che: "Then you go first? I'll give you a chance to score higher than me."

Zhuge Ye: "The weather is so nice today, I feel like listening to Wang Lihong's 'The Only One'."

"Do you have to change the subject so awkwardly?"

"╭(╯ε╰)╮♬~~~"

Suddenly! A dark shadow shot out from the well!

"!!!"

Hair!

These black strands of hair seemed to have eyes, instantly wrapping around Zhuge Ye's hands and feet!

"Crack crack crack!"

A terrifying force pulled Zhuge Ye towards the ancient well.

"Brother Che, save me!" Zhuge Ye shouted.

Jiang Che laughed with his hands in his pockets.

Zhuge Ye: "Dad, save me!"

"Coming!"

Jiang Che stepped forward and shouted, "Let go of my son!"

He swung the bone knife.

"Swish!"

The filthy black hair was instantly severed!

At the same time, a sinister howl echoed from the bottom of the well.

"Ah—! My hair, my, glug glug, hair!!!"

Zhuge Ye fell to the ground with a thud, saying with lingering fear, "Scared the hell out of me."

Jiang Che: "Why are you such a weakling?"

Zhuge Ye: "I'm an AP, not suited for physical combat."

"So?"

"Physical combat isn't suitable for AP."

"..." Jiang Che took a deep breath, "Listening to you is like Zhuang Zhou using purification."

Ignoring Zhuge Ye.

Jiang Che grabbed the hair trying to retract into the well.

"Isn't it cold in there? Let me pull you out."

With that, Jiang Che pulled the hair with force.

"Crack crack crack..."

"Let, glug glug, let go of my hair! When did I say I wanted to come out!"

Jiang Che: "Don't be polite!"

"I, glug glug, I'm not being polite, damn it!"

"Come on! Come out and play!"

"I don't want to come out!"

"No, you want to!"

Beside him, Zhuge Ye was dumbfounded.

Damn...

Isn't there something wrong with this approach?

Is this the charm of an AD?

Meanwhile, Jiang Che's heart was also in turmoil.

How could an E-level uncanny have such strength?

He couldn't pull it out?!

No, he couldn't just let this uncanny go.

The hint said she knew the village's secret, and it was the village chief who threw her into the well.

She must be a key "NPC."

So, Jiang Che simply let go.

Letting the hair retract into the well.

Then, he leaped in, shouting, "Baby, I'm coming down to join you!"

Zhuge Ye: "Damn?!"

Uncanny at the bottom of the well: "Don't come near me!"

"Splash~"

Jiang Che jumped into the well, and the sound of water followed.

Zhuge Ye took a deep breath.

He finally understood why Jiang Che could get a double S rating.

This guy in the Mystic World.

He's practically a bandit!

No, no... a repeat offender!

This damn guy is definitely a repeat offender!
