Chapter 198 is for the millions of people here.
If that's the case, it's no wonder the system assigned it to Long Xiaoxiao.
The system secretly pondered that in the past, the task assigners by the Time and Space Administration were at least eighteen-year-old adults, and most of them knew what they were supposed to do. Long Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, seemed to have been directly thrown over to them to be trained.
Most likely, it was the successful retirees who orchestrated this behind the scenes.
Rongming and the others watched helplessly as the woman and the Azure Dragon God chattered away, unable to get a word in edgewise, and were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
This woman understands Mandarin, could she be Chinese? But since she was able to fly here in a dragon, she must be no ordinary person.
Just then, Bell suddenly raised his head, frowned, and closed his eyes, as if he was carefully sensing something.
“Not good.” Bell looked up again, his tone grave.
Something fell down.
They were speaking Mandarin.
These words caused an uproar in the audience.
Rong Ming and the others turned pale and immediately sent people to investigate the situation. Soon, someone reported that the first falling meteorite had landed on the highest mountain range, creating a deep crater.
A meteor shower is coming.
To many, this statement sounded exactly like the end of the world.
Belle's brows furrowed even more, and when she turned her head again, she looked at Zhang Huo.
The moment Zhang Huo saw Bell's face clearly, he trembled slightly, his expression one of shock, as if he had witnessed something impossible.
"How much energy does the world have left?" Bell asked.
Zhang Huo answered almost reflexively, "Less than twenty percent."
Bell's face darkened.
Long Xiaoxiao had finished being affectionate with her mother and tilted her head in confusion, looking at everyone. Perhaps sensing something was wrong, she cautiously asked Bell, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Rong Ming and the others looked at Long Xiaoxiao with tense yet hopeful eyes.
Bell sighed and shook his head.
The system felt as if it had crashed the moment Bell shook his head and sighed, so it hurriedly asked, "Then can we send Xiao Xiao away? It's too dangerous here."
Bell gave Long Xiaoxiao a strange look, as if wondering why the system would say such a thing.
"Why leave?" Bell's tone was strangely calm. "Now that you've bound yourself to the system and become a mission taker, there's no reason to desert your post."
Zhang Huo chimed in quietly, "That's why I chose to become a special agent."
system:"……"
“It’ll be alright.” Belle’s tone was relaxed, as if she were saying that the weather was nice today. She looked at Long Xiaoxiao again and spoke in the language of the magical world, “Xiaoxiao, you will be alright too.”
Although she didn't know why something might happen to her, Long Xiaoxiao still nodded obediently.
Okay, she will try her best to keep herself safe.
Long Lan and Long Sui, who were standing to the side, were also taken aback by the scene before them. They were confused by Long Xiaoxiao's words that everything would be alright, but the subtext was that something was very likely to happen.
They want to go home!
Anyway, the curse has been mostly lifted, so as long as Xiaoxiao returns safely, everything else is fine.
"Can we go home now?" Long Lan asked first, her voice tense.
“No,” Bell said.
Even if I wanted to leave, I didn't have the power to send them all away.
She stopped talking to Long Lan and turned to Rong Ming, speaking calmly: "Find about three hundred people who aren't afraid to die."
Although Rongming and the others couldn't understand what they were saying, they could tell that Bell was their pillar of support at this moment, so they immediately responded with a "yes".
There are countless heroes in China who are not afraid of death.
Even if you just shout in the army, as long as you say, "We're going to save the world, anyone who's not afraid to die, step forward," a large number of people will definitely stand up.
In our youthful exuberance and passionate days, who hasn't dreamed of being a hero?
If you must die, at least die gloriously and spectacularly!
The group quickly assembled, each with resolute eyes, chests puffed out, and an air of pride and arrogance.
Belle glanced at it, nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at Long Xiaoxiao. This time, her gaze was deep as she slowly walked over.
She reached out and patted Long Xiaoxiao's head, her voice serious: "Xiaoxiao, I have bad news. This world is going to be destroyed."
"What?!" Long Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, and she jerked her head up. "Was it those bad guys who did this?"
Bell nodded, and seeing Long Xiaoxiao's indignation, he quickly spoke up before she could: "But there is still a glimmer of hope, and we need your help."
"If you fail, you will die; if you succeed, some people may die, but most people will live."
Bell spoke these words especially slowly, as if he wanted Long Xiaoxiao to think it through herself.
If it were Long Xiaoxiao who had just arrived in this world, she might still be confused about the concept of death, but after experiencing so many things, Long Xiaoxiao's awareness of death is so profound.
Dying means never seeing your parents, brothers, or sisters again, never being able to chat with the system uncle, never being able to eat delicious ice cream, never being able to eat fire fruit, and never being able to experience any of the delicious and fun things.
Long Lan, who was standing to the side, was extremely nervous. She spoke before Long Xiaoxiao could, and subtly stepped forward to protect Long Xiaoxiao behind her.
“We refuse.” Long Lan’s tone was somewhat firm, but after a moment of hesitation, it softened. “Let Xiao Xiao go back. She’s still so young. Her father and I can handle whatever she needs to do.”
Dragons have existed in the magical world for many years, and before the curse, they were like guardian deities, protecting many races.
This sense of mission made Long Lan and others feel a pang of reluctance when they saw so many living, breathing people in this world.
If Xiaoxiao was able to break their curse thanks to the people here, then it's only right that they help the people here avoid disaster.
But... but not Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao should grow up happily and unharmed forever.
“Let her make her own decision,” Bell said succinctly. “The situation is dire; if we make even the slightest mistake, all our previous efforts will be in vain.”
Long Xiaoxiao spoke up, her tone firm: "I want to stay."
She wanted to stay.
If there is even the slightest chance of survival, even if it is only 0.1%, Long Xiaoxiao thinks it is worth a try.
She knew the terror of death and the fragility of life, which made her even more determined to stay.
For the millions of people here.
“Okay.” Bell nodded, a hint of a smile in his eyes.
She turned around, waved her hand, and a mecha almost the size of two villas appeared before everyone's eyes, with a very high-tech design.
“One person at a time.” Bell nodded to the three hundred people and said, “We’ll fly out and smash those meteorites that haven’t even entered the atmosphere yet.”
"There will be a tutorial on how to use the mechs once you enter the cabin. Go in and get used to it first."
After saying that, Bell waved his hand again, and dozens of mechs appeared in mid-air.
A glimmer of hope burned in everyone's eyes.
“Remember, each of you will have to deal with at least five meteorites,” Bell said. “The mechs are fragile and can only withstand a maximum of three impacts. If the mechs are damaged, you will be stuck in space forever.”
