The girl who was punished by the gods counterattacked and became the group's favorite

Tia looked at the various tasks, and finally her eyes fixed on two tasks.

The first task is to investigate a dark shadow in a town and find the evil creature that kills and dismembers people. The second task is to investigate what is wrong with a river that causes people and animals who drink the water to become manic, insane, and indiscriminately attack others.

"Let me see, if you're choosing between these two tasks... choose the second one!" Fina saw that Tia was really struggling and ran over to look at the two tasks that Tia's eyes were lingering on. "Come over and choose, one of the two."

Juno thought for a moment and said, "I choose the second one."

"Then I'll choose the second one too." Giselle followed up immediately.

"Let me see what's going on!" Pierre also came over and looked over the tasks. "Although I'm quite interested in the first one, it seems that I can only choose the second one anyway!"

"Then let's take the second task." Tia took the task and went to the person in charge to register.

The person who registered looked up at Tia and kindly reminded her, "This mission will become more difficult the later you go, so if you accept it, leave early."

"Thank you!" Tia smiled faintly.

Everyone gathered together and left here. The sun was hanging high in the sky at this time, gently caressing everyone's cheeks, and even the wind blowing in their faces was less cold.

"Now go back and pack your belongings, and then we'll gather here at 2 pm and set off?"

Tia put her hand in front of her forehead to block the sun, then turned her head to talk to the person next to her.

Juno, who was walking on the left, also wanted to stretch out her hand to block the sun, but Giselle turned sideways and blocked Juno.

Juno raised her hand and almost hit someone, so she simply put it down. "Okay, how about we go directly to the Pegasus?"

"Sure, I'll go buy a map!" Giselle chimed in.

"I'll go buy it. I'm on my way. If you have anything else in mind, you can tell me along the way and I'll buy it together." Pierre also imitated Giselle and stood in front of Tia like a gentleman. He smiled and scratched his hair while talking.

Tia cast a grateful look at Pierre, but she was also wondering why the always noisy Fina didn't follow her. She turned around and saw Fina running towards her.

Fina smiled. "Guess what I just saw? You weren't trying to take on another mission. I just saw someone else take it. It was Maruna and the others."

"Is it such a coincidence?" Tia thought to herself, "But we just agreed to meet at the Pegasus at 2 pm."

"Sure!" Fina stretched out her hand to block the sun in front of her, but seeing the two boys standing in front of her like a wall, she simply put her hand down and moved closer. "I'm fine. I'll get ready right away."

"Then it's settled, we'll gather and set off on time!"

"it is good!"

Everyone dispersed and quickly returned to their homes and began to prepare the things they would need for the journey.

When the time came, everyone gathered on time and everyone changed into clothes that were more convenient and easier to move around in.

Then the group boarded the flying horses. When they were about to reach their destination, the flying horses became restless and began to neigh, wanting to turn around.

It was the driver who comforted them over and over again before they calmed down. He took them to Konoha Village with great difficulty. After arriving at the destination, the driver immediately drove away, leaving the five of them looking at each other in bewilderment.

Although the weather is indeed very cold now and everyone is wearing thicker clothes, they still can't help shivering.

They all turned around and saw the village they were about to enter. The houses were arranged in a scattered manner, high and low, there was no one on the street, and the few stalls that existed were scattered around.

Several people looked around vigilantly, guarding against anything that might suddenly jump out, and their eyes were also observing the surroundings.

As they got closer, they saw that the food scattered on the stalls had become hard. To the naked eye, it did not look very serious. They could probably guess that the town had started to become chaotic five or six days ago.

Continuing to walk inside, you can see obvious black bloodstains on the street, as well as some blood-stained utensils. An iron knife with a bent blade was thrown casually on the ground, and a person with a dark complexion was lying next to it.

Tia stretched out her hand and beckoned a few people to come over and take a look.

Fina originally wanted to speak, but seeing how cautious everyone was, she consciously shut her mouth.

But when they all got closer to take a look, they were still so frightened by the hateful face that they almost vomited on the spot.

Fina couldn't help but dry heave a few times, and then everyone started to dry heave with nausea.

From a distance, the man looked like a normal person, but when you looked closer, you could see that his skin had turned purple and black, with veins popping out on his hands, neck, and even his face, looking like hideous scars or crawling insects.

The man's hair was so sparse that it was almost gone, and his eyeballs were bulging out, almost falling out of his eye sockets. The normal whites of his eyes had long disappeared and turned black and red.

The most frightening thing is the open mouth, which takes up almost half of the face. The front teeth seem to be enlarged by nearly half, becoming almost the same size as the back teeth, and another row of identical teeth has grown at the back. A normal face cannot completely cover them, so they are torn apart due to the bite. The teeth almost grow below the ears, and the skin on the chin is stretched thin.

Juno was the first to calm down, took out her spare cup and handed it to Giselle.

"You take a break first, then go get Pierre some water. I'll take care of the girls."

Tia felt a little better after drinking the water Juno handed her.

Fina also slowly calmed down. She rubbed her arms unconsciously, as if she wanted to rub off the goose bumps on her body.

"What kind of monster is this?"

The rest of the people shook their heads in unison. This was obviously not a normal problem of poisoning. It was caused by contamination from evil spirits.

The thought of more and more people becoming like this because of evil made me shudder again.

Everyone stood in the cold wind, and even though their bodies were wrapped in warm clothes, their hearts were chilled to the bottom.

They were silent, adjusted their emotions, and continued to move forward.

As we went deeper, we found more and more corpses. However, apart from the monsters just now, there were some human body parts, but no normal people were seen.

They soon understood that they were just normal people who were picked up by their families after death, but no one dared to take in those who had turned into monsters, so their bodies were left exposed in the wilderness.
