"Old friend, you see, if I do nothing now, I'm already ruined!"
But I still have many things to do.
Reynolds sighed softly; he was unwilling to give up so easily.
At least, he wanted to avenge himself!
"So, I can only borrow some time from you."
This is the only solution he can think of right now.
Once the Embrace is successful, he will be able to restore his completely crippled body and make those people pay for their crimes!
"good."
Old John remained silent for only a moment before agreeing to Reynolds' request.
Neither Song Mengmeng nor Hu Yue tried to stop the two from making their decision. They left the room, leaving the space entirely to the two former mortal enemies who are now life-and-death friends.
After leaving Old John and Reynolds, Song Mengmeng and the others were finally able to inquire about the rescue efforts of Yan Di and the others.
In truth, the process by which Yama and his entourage saved people was quite simple.
With the strength of Yan Di and Gu Qi, as long as Reynolds is still confirmed to be in Wudu, finding his whereabouts is not a difficult task. The most difficult thing to deal with is how to bring Reynolds out without anyone noticing.
Although this was a bit difficult, it didn't take too much effort for Yan Di and Gu Qi.
They could have returned much earlier, but a small problem arose along the way, which delayed them for so long.
Loki?!
Upon hearing this familiar name, Song Mengmeng couldn't help but frown.
She wasn't unfamiliar with this guy; they had met in Xi'an back in China. She just hadn't expected him to appear in the foggy capital of this smog-ridden country.
"That's not hard to understand, but if Loki gets involved, the future course of events will be difficult to control." Most of the people here have some understanding of Loki, a character from Norse mythology.
This god of mischief always acts solely on his whims and moods; if he were to interfere…
There are just too many variables.
"Any being called a 'god' in this world is protected by the Heavenly Dao to some extent," the Yama Emperor explained in a low voice. Before Loki actually caused any devastating damage to the order of this world, he couldn't directly kill him.
Clearly, Loki was aware of this as well, which is why he was so confident in provoking him after their previous meeting.
Fortunately, Loki only showed up and greeted them, so he didn't cause them too much trouble. However, it was precisely because of his ambiguous attitude that people were unsure of his true purpose.
"In short, just be careful from now on."
Song Mengmeng didn't seem too worried or concerned about the matter.
Her thoughts were actually quite simple.
After all, Loki is in the shadows while they are in the open. Even if they want to deal with it, they should wait for the other party to make the first move. Since the other party has not made a move yet, all their considerations are based on speculation and are meaningless except for scaring themselves.
Finally, after discussing the next steps, the group went back to their rooms to rest without further consideration.
The next morning, when Song Mengmeng got up, Yan Di was no longer in the room.
Judging from the light filtering through the half-open curtains, Song Mengmeng vaguely guessed that it must be getting late. She didn't stay in bed any longer; she got up, washed up, and went downstairs. There she saw that Reynolds, who had been lying weak and helpless in bed yesterday, was now sitting comfortably on the sofa reading the newspaper.
"morning."
When he saw Song Mengmeng come downstairs, Reynolds greeted her with a smile.
"Good morning." Song Mengmeng was taken aback and subconsciously looked around, but did not see any familiar faces. She was a little puzzled, but did not ask any questions, and just slowly walked down the stairs.
"Hu Yue and the others went out with Old John to check the surrounding area. Breakfast is prepared for you in the restaurant." Reynolds seemed to have noticed Song Mengmeng's focus. He smiled, put down his newspaper, and pointed towards the restaurant: "I don't know if the food here in the Haze Country will suit your taste. After all, what we call 'delicacies' here..."
Reynolds shrugged and spread his hands, making a gesture that left him speechless.
Song Mengmeng simply smiled faintly, thanked them, and went into the restaurant.
"Your body is recovering quite well!" Song Mengmeng sat down at the table, looking at the fried eggs and sandwiches in front of her. The breakfast was obviously cold, which made her frown slightly, but she didn't say much. She picked up her knife and fork and began to carefully break down the fried eggs on the plate in front of her, but she didn't rush to swallow them.
Reynolds followed and stood not far from Song Mengmeng for a while. He saw that after she finished cutting the fried egg, she continued to cut the sandwich, but did not put it in her mouth at all. He couldn't help but be a little curious.
"Don't you like it?!"
"Are you in a hurry?!" Song Mengmeng paused slightly, then looked up at Reynolds with a half-smile: "If I choose not to eat, will you come and hit me?!"
Reynolds was taken aback; he truly hadn't expected the young girl in front of him to suddenly ask such a question.
For a moment, I really didn't know how to answer.
But Song Mengmeng didn't give him much time to think. She continued to sit in the chair, swinging her little feet and laughing, "Everyone says Loki is a notorious god of mischief, but before you plot and play tricks on people, don't you ever investigate the established facts?!"
