Chapter 188 An indispensable part
The cork arrived.
The four magical mice reappeared in the room where they started. The TV was showing cheering effects from Fox's live stream, as if they were applauding the rocket launch.
"A truly spectacular fireworks display! Let's thank the Magic Mouse Quartet for their amazing first performance!"
"Damn it... Heart Moon Fox! What are you plotting?!"
Hyacinth, clutching its sore bottom from being slapped several times by a cat's paw, meowed at the Moon Fox on the television.
"Hehehe~ Today is a special broadcast time for our viewers, how can you call it a conspiracy? Didn't everyone have a lot of fun?"
"you!……"
Hyacinth pointed at the television through gritted teeth.
Was it fun? The butt was swapped.
I just took at least thirty or forty claw hits from a hellcat! Do you know how painful a hellcat's claws are?!
"But you've successfully obtained the first item, so the difficulty of this game will be increased~"
Before the words were even finished, the bedroom lights flickered several times, and the television screen suddenly became distorted, creating an eerie atmosphere.
"W-what? What happened?"
Squirrel Wheat quickly huddled up to its companions and said timidly.
Li Kexin has been afraid of ghosts since she was a child, and she doesn't dare to watch any horror movies. The eerie scene in front of her made her very uneasy.
"Hehehehe..."
The fox's laughter on the television screen became hoarse and broken, filled with a terrifying atmosphere.
"Now for the second task."
"The magic mice need to collect the power plugs on top of the refrigerator, but now that we've reached the second stage... I, Fox, am going to increase the difficulty!"
"So next, the magic mice will face two hunters!"
"Squeak—"
The bedroom door was wide open.
The cat's heterochromatic eyes gleamed outside the door, but another pair of blood-red eyes also came into the view of the magical mice.
"This is today's second hunter... [The Pink Killer Rabbit of Night Dreams]!"
...
At first, the four magical mice had no idea what the cringeworthy title "Murder Rabbit" meant.
But when the four of them sneaked around the Hellcat wandering in the living room and tried to get closer to the refrigerator, the pink bunny girl who suddenly appeared next to them and the giant hammer completely explained everything.
"Drink it!!!"
"Waaaaaaahhhhhh!!"
The giant pink bunny hammer startled the magic mice, causing them to jump up and down and scatter in all directions.
Before Hyacinth the field mouse could run a few steps, Rabbit's sledgehammer smashed into her forehead, burying Hyacinth completely in the floor.
—One of the rules of Fox's mental world is that no one can die here.
Even if the field mouse hyacinth gets embedded in the floor like a gopher, it will only be dizzy and then be plucked by the cat girl and used as a punching bag.
The remaining three magic mice huddled trembling in the living room storage cabinet.
"That was terrifying! What was that just now? When did the Cheshire Rabbit get next to us?"
"I didn't see her! It's like she's invisible!"
"Could it be that the Cheshire Rabbit still has his invisibility magic...? That would be terrible..."
The three exchanged a glance and shrank back in fear.
In that case, the second phase of the mission would truly be hellish in difficulty.
First up is the hunter cat, who's been roaming around the living room. Right now, it's engaged in a passionate chase with the field mouse hyacinth, and you can hear the hyacinth's pitiful screams as it gets slapped by the cat's paw every now and then.
Next up was the elusive Hammer Rabbit, whose powerful hammer blow had driven the hyacinth into the floor, a truly spectacular sight.
Now, the three of them must obtain the second item despite being blocked by these two hunters...
The magical mice peeked out at the refrigerator in the corner of the living room.
[The power plug on top of the refrigerator], this is the second task.
"To get to the refrigerator from here, you have to cross the entire living room," said Squirrel Wheat.
"And there's nowhere to climb on top of the refrigerator... Shall we do another fireworks display?"
"I don't want to!" the iris immediately refused.
He would rather be embedded in the floor by Cheshire Rabbit's hammer than experience flying with a mouse again.
Moreover, launching a rocket in such an open space as the living room is simply asking for trouble; a cat and rabbit doubles attack would arrive at the doorstep in no time.
"Let's investigate the surrounding area then; we might find something useful."
With the fireworks and rocket plan as a foundation, the magic mice immediately began rummaging through the storage cabinet, making a rustling sound.
Soon, Nightingale the hamster pulled out a piece of chocolate from deep inside the cupboard.
"Look, I found this!"
The chocolate cover reads "Fox's Earth Escape Chocolate" and features a logo of a fox radish planted in the ground, which is quite eerie.
"Let me see... 'By eating chocolate, one can gain the ability to use earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique in Chinese fantasy novels) and pass through the surface of objects to reach the other side'..."
"Seriously?" Mai Sui was skeptical of something that looked suspicious at first glance.
But Nightingale the hamster had already broken off a small piece and was chewing it. Judging from how much she was enjoying it, the chocolate seemed to taste pretty good.
Before she could even give her feedback after finishing the meal, the magical camera floating beside her suddenly emitted a cheering sound effect.
"Congratulations, Miss Nightingale! You have acquired Fox's Earth Escape ability!"
"It seems Miss Nightingale is planning to sneak underground towards the refrigerator. Is this method really reliable? Let's wait and see!"
The magic mice exchanged glances and silently broke off a piece each.
.
Using earth magic to approach the refrigerator is indeed a good way to bypass the hunters.
Beneath the floor outside the storage cabinet, the magical mice moved forward silently.
"...Everyone, listen to me."
The sound of hyacinths came through the mouse walkie-talkie.
"Our goal is to get under the refrigerator, then use the 'earth-遁' chocolate to enter the refrigerator, and use the internal structure to climb to the top!"
"Your plan sounds so weird. Aren't we going to turn into rat popsicles?" Wheat complained.
"Don't worry, I just checked, and this refrigerator isn't plugged in."
Hyacinth said confidently.
The magic mice understood each other and remained silent, slithering silently under the floorboards.
The so-called earth escape was indeed genuine earth escape; the four magical mice walked unimpeded under the floor, trying not to make a sound, but they were also a little uneasy because they couldn't see the road ahead.
"...Are we really heading in the right direction?" Iris asked.
The remaining three remained silent, none of them daring to make a guarantee.
A little nervous, Mai Sui cautiously peeked out half of her mouse head and glanced at the direction she was heading.
But before she could retreat back under the floorboards, a terrifying sense of oppression suddenly descended upon her from above—
Squirrel Wheat looked up in confusion at the massive rabbit hammer that was falling down.
"Wa ...
"Crack!!"
The sledgehammer nearly dented the floor, but in Heart Moon Fox's mental world, there was no scene destruction; it only caused a ring of wondrous magical light effects to explode outwards.
Squirrel Wheat was terrified and ran away as fast as it could, while behind it, the sound of Rabbit Hammers pounding against it echoed continuously.
The magical mice shuddered as they watched the pink-haired rabbit laughing hysterically while playing whack-a-mole.
To commemorate the squirrel's self-sacrifice, we must reach the bottom of the refrigerator!
