Chapter 95: Hunger Games
Standing in the primeval forest, Mo Fei gazed around. Thick trees and vines intertwined, like layers of a vast net, or a dark green seabed where not a single ray of sunlight could penetrate.
"Where the hell is this?"
Following behind Mo Fei, Mindy also emerged from the Golden Gate, but she was carrying small and large bags of food.
"Mindy, why did you bring so much food? Didn't you say you had a surprise for me? Is it a picnic in the primeval jungle?" Mo Fei had a look of utter confusion. "You think this is a surprise? Do you misunderstand what a surprise is?"
"This isn't for a picnic!" Mindy rolled her eyes at Mo Fei. "These foods are a gift for someone."
"A gift?" Mo Fei was even more bewildered.
Something wasn't right… Could it be… his cute little sister was hiding someone outside?
Mo Fei became vigilant. Which scoundrel dared to steal his sister?
He'd kick them with one swift move!
Suddenly!
A rustling sound came from the lush green grass.
Mo Fei, quick-witted, swiftly drew a P226 and cautiously aimed forward.
In about a second, a small deer leaped from the grass, landing right where Mo Fei was. If he didn't react, the deer would surely land on his face.
So, without a word, Mo Fei raised his hand and fired two shots, both aimed at the deer's eyes.
"Bro…" Mindy's voice of protest didn't have time to escape before Mo Fei had already blown the deer's head off.
This was also Mindy's doing; she had made Mo Fei's reactions to danger an instinct!
But at the same time Mo Fei blew the deer's head off, an alloy arrow also pierced through the deer's skull.
"Which district are you from? Even if you got a gun, how dare you shoot here? Don't you know this is not far from the cordon? They could come here to check at any moment! You idiot!"
Along with the rustling sound of footsteps on dry branches and leaves, an exasperated female voice rang out.
As soon as she finished speaking, a valiant woman appeared before Mo Fei, carrying an alloy quiver on her back, a longbow in her hand, and dressed in battle attire.
However, she didn't look very approachable right now, as she had her bow drawn and an arrow aimed at Mo Fei.
"Little girl, put the arrow down, it's dangerous!" Mo Fei shook his head and calmly advised, "You shouldn't play with arrows in front of me; you're not as good as me!"
Damn, it's only because you're a woman, otherwise I'd beat you to a pulp!
What's wrong with me, you call me an idiot? This is my gun, I earned it to be 25, I can shoot wherever I want, what business is it of yours?
"Bro, say less!" Mindy lightly slapped Mo Fei, then turned to the newcomer and smiled, "Katniss, long time no see."
"Mindy, why is it you?" The fierce young girl looked at Mindy in surprise.
"I originally came to see you, hoping to give you a surprise, but I'm sorry my brother caused you trouble," Mindy apologized.
"He's the brother you mentioned?" This Katniss seemed to have heard Mindy talk about Mo Fei, but after seeing him in person, she looked at Mo Fei with disdain: "Forget it, since he's your Mindy's brother, I'll be magnanimous and forgive him."
What the heck, who are you? Do I need your forgiveness? Mo Fei was a little indignant.
When the girl recognized Mindy, she lowered her guard and walked closer. Mo Fei was a little surprised; it seemed to be another familiar face.
Where had he seen her before?
Pirates of the Caribbean? No, that was Miss A! Hmm… he remembered, it was Hunger Games! This was the Big Sister!
Mo Fei was pondering what it meant to see the Big Sister here, while Mindy and Katniss were catching up.
"Oh no, they're here!"
They? Who are they? Mo Fei's superb reactive awareness made him look up to the northwest corner, where the sound of a propeller, a helicopter, was heard!
"You two, come with me quickly!"
Katniss waved to Mindy and Mo Fei, then concealed herself, wanting to escape the place as quickly as possible.
Mo Fei looked at Mindy, what was going on?
Mindy shrugged, a faint golden light flashing in her eyes. A Golden Gate opened before Katniss, enveloping her. Simultaneously, another larger Golden Gate appeared behind Mindy, encompassing Mo Fei and herself, and a very small Golden Gate took in the small deer that had been caught between Mo Fei and Katniss.
After Mo Fei and the others left, a helicopter flew directly to where they had been standing. Special forces soldiers descended to investigate the situation but found nothing significant.
"Report, Sector B is normal."
"Repeat, Sector B is normal."
The special forces soldier who had come down to investigate replied via walkie-talkie.

Back home, Mindy explained to Mo Fei that the World Katniss was in was another timeline, where military control was enforced, firearms were strictly prohibited, and they were under strict government surveillance. Therefore, Mo Fei's act of firing a gun there would attract high attention from that local government and bring huge trouble to Katniss, who lived there!
Mindy also clarified to Mo Fei how she and Katniss had met.
When Mindy awakened her powers at the age of 5, she was able to connect to Katniss's timeline. At that time, she even saved Katniss, who was almost starved to death. From then on, she and Katniss became friends, very good friends.
However, after her parents learned of her powers, they restricted her from using them casually and told her, especially not to use them in front of others in the original World, including her brother.
Mo Fei roughly knew what was going on. Katniss was undoubtedly the Big Sister's role in Hunger Games.
Mindy's Space-Time Gate could connect to another timeline.
Looking at Mindy, Mo Fei's eyes were a bit complex. Originally, he thought that after transmigrating to this World, with his silly dog system, plot cheat, and system cheat, he should be the legendary protagonist. But now Mo Fei realized he was wrong; Mindy was the protagonist, and he was just the bystander whose job was to cheer her on.
Look at Mindy's cheats; they were stronger and more heaven-defying than his!
Killer cheat: Bullet Time and Curved Shot, enough to rank among the top twenty assassins in the World.
Space-Time Gate cheat: able to connect to another timeline, and according to Mindy, she vaguely felt that as she grew older, her powers were getting stronger, as if she was about to connect to the next timeline.
Being able to connect to other timelines meant Mindy had infinite potential in the future. Compared to this, what was Mo Fei's silly dog system?
Suddenly, Mo Fei felt a bit in danger. After all, the protagonist's relatives, friends, and lovers are easily affected and crushed. Just like without Vision's death, where would the Scarlet Witch who beat Thanos come from? Would he also become Mindy's motivation for growth?
All the movies that don't fit into a Marvel Worldview, I put them in Mindy's Space-Time Gate, such as Resident Evil, Pacific Rim, Planet of the Apes, Pirates of the Caribbean, DC, Avatar, etc. Writing this, I can finally tell everyone that this book is not a Marvel fanfiction, but an infinite stream.
