Appearance

• Pink hair is his defining visual feature and the source of his “Little Pink” nickname. Shen Ru repeatedly recognizes him by it 62 77 120.
• His conspicuous tuft of hair remains visible even while he tries to conceal himself outside the Dark Night Guild 165.

Personality

Meng is cautious, danger-conscious, and frequently exasperated by Shen Ru’s recklessness. He prefers avoiding unnecessary encounters, anticipates that Shen Ru’s investigations will drag other Players into trouble, and argues against entering a house after an inhuman warning. His alarm often proves justified 68 170.

His fear does not prevent him from acting. He participates in monster fights, protects Sheng Ziyao from attracting hostile attention, and starts a fire at the Dark Night Guild to fulfill Shen Ru’s demand for urgent information. He also rushes to help when he believes Wei Lanxing may be in danger 135 165 170 173.

His dry humor contrasts with Sheng Ziyao’s enthusiasm. Although initially a coerced accomplice and reluctant host, he becomes protective of Shen Ru: he worries about returning to Xie Chi, objects when Players demand Shen Ru’s blood, and looks after him during his later separation from Mo Yu. That loyalty does not make him morally gentle—he explicitly says Shen Ru’s victims deserved their fate 175 179 190.

Abilities & Skills

Combat and Survival

• Carries multiple lifesaving items, giving him confidence while escaping the octopus encounter in the mental hospital 47.
• Joins Mo Yu, Shen Ru, and Sheng Ziyao in defeating several dozen monsters outside the apocalyptic house 170.
• Reacts immediately when Shen Ru orders him to duck, avoiding an attack that passes over his head 170.
• Uses a kitchen knife to chase people toward Shen Ru and Mo Yu during My Day 95.

Observation and Risk Assessment

• Identifies Wen Meng as Shen Ru’s likely target when he proposes widening the hidden passage, then backs away before becoming involved 69.
• Notices the overpowering blood smell in an otherwise tidy room and concludes that someone died there 94.
• Recognizes that drawing attention to himself and Sheng Ziyao among Puppet-shell wearers would expose their lack of shells 135.
• Questions the underground shelter’s apparent safety and considers reverse-mutating inhabitants a possible source of danger 179.

Improvisation and Performance

• Follows Shen Ru’s cues to boast loudly about possessing thousands of points, helping lure greedy Players into a chemical-plant trap 116.
• Secures captured mutants with extra loops of rope and attaches them behind the group’s car alongside Sheng Ziyao 171.
• Chooses arson as a distraction when he cannot enter the guarded Dark Night Guild to deliver a warning 165.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Lifesaving items — Keeps several available during the mental-hospital instance; their individual effects are unspecified 47.
• Kitchen knife — Used during the pursuit in My Day 95.
• Chainsaw — Carried while working as a cook in Virtual Town. Its presence beside a body makes Sheng Ziyao mistake him for a serial killer 134.
• Lighter — Used to start the Dark Night Guild fire 165.
• Light Brain / terminal — Handles point transfers, including his 10,000-point “wedding gift” to Sheng Ziyao 78.
• Tableware — Owns favored plates and dishes. Shen Ru breaks some, packs others into a suitcase, and later threatens a newly acquired plate to force his cooperation 137 160.

Relationships

• Shen Ru — Repeated teammate, initially coerced accomplice, and recurring houseguest. Meng fears his schemes but gradually becomes a protective friend, while remaining outspoken about the disruption he causes 47 77 116 175 190.
• Sheng Ziyao — Close friend and frequent partner in chaotic situations. They share meals, gossip, fight over Shen Ru, and reaffirm their friendship through their shared approval of his actions. Sheng’s recklessness regularly tests Meng’s patience 88 117 175 179.
• Mo Yu — A formidable acquaintance whose relationship with Shen Ru repeatedly affects Meng’s life. Mo Yu retrieves Shen Ru from Meng’s apartment; during a later separation, Meng asks Sheng to arrange another pickup because he cannot contact Mo Yu directly 77 190.
• Wen Meng — Guildmate. Meng knows her talent is Supergravity and recognizes when Shen Ru intends to exploit it 69.
• Wei Lanxing — Kanghe Guild leader. Meng rushes toward the apparent danger when he fears she may have become a mutant; later, he explains that experience has taught him not to oppose Shen Ru 21 173 178.
• Gu Changming — Unknowing victim of Meng’s arson. Meng returns nervously while Gu rebuilds the Villa and searches for the culprit 165 183.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Upside-Down Mental Hospital

Meng is dragged out of a hiding place into a dangerous encounter after Shen Ru provokes a huge octopus. Initially reassured by his supply of lifesaving items, he becomes horrified when he recognizes Shen Ru and learns that the danger was deliberately manufactured for excitement 47.

Absurd World and Shen Ru’s Disguise

Meng encounters Shen Ru aboard the bus and later shelters beneath the flag-raising platform with Sheng Ziyao. Shen Ru’s broadcast about the water-room passage triggers a mandatory quest, confirming Meng’s fear that the investigation will involve everyone 62 64 68.

At the climax, Meng and Sheng operate from the broadcasting room. Meng protests that they are being made to supply music for NPCs committing mass suicide, while Sheng starts Moonlight Sonata on Shen Ru’s signal 76.

After settlement, Shen Ru reveals his female disguise to Meng, threatens him into secrecy, and stays at his apartment for five days. Mo Yu arrives on the sixth evening. Following the visit, Meng transfers Sheng 10,000 points with the explanation, “My wedding gift” 77 78.

My Day

While celebrating Sheng’s completed report over a meal, Meng is abruptly pulled into the A-rank mall instance with him. Sheng attributes their summoning to a Card, concealing Mo Yu’s deeper system privileges. Meng immediately tries to withdraw once he learns Shen Ru and Mo Yu are both present 88.

He is instead swept into the chase, forced through a five-hundred-meter run, and later pressured into exploiting his assigned animal role. Armed with kitchen knives, he and Sheng drive people toward the entrance guarded by Shen Ru and Mo Yu 89 95.

Points Game

After being evacuated from an unfinished instance, Meng correctly suspects Shen Ru and Mo Yu’s involvement in the system disruption 114.

During the subsequent citywide points game, he helps Shen Ru bait pursuing Players with exaggerated boasts. They lead the crowd into an abandoned chemical plant, where Shen Ru threatens to ignite the building. Meng is left to collect the surrendered points, mortified by his public involvement 115 116.

Virtual Town

Assigned the role of an ordinary resident without an arrest warrant, Meng encounters Shen Ru disguised as a nun during the church ritual. He later joins the group’s schemes and appears in the factory Kitchen as a cook, sharpening a knife and carrying a chainsaw 120 124 132 134.

Sheng mistakenly mourns him after discovering pink hair near a gruesome corpse. Meng proves alive, lends Sheng a jacket, and helps him hide. When they watch Shen Ru’s performance as God’s Envoy, Meng repeatedly silences Sheng to keep their lack of Puppet shells from drawing attention 132 134 135.

The Villa Fire

Shen Ru instructs Meng to report any news concerning him or Mo Yu by whatever means necessary. Learning of the compulsory midnight instance, Meng approaches the closed Dark Night Guild and decides to create a fire as a distraction. Sheng catches him preparing to burn his room and redirects him toward Gu Changming’s instead 165.

After the apocalypse instance, Meng nervously visits the damaged Villa while Gu repairs it and vows to identify the arsonist. Sheng’s teasing nearly exposes his responsibility 183.

Apocalypse: Uncontrolled Evolution

Meng and Sheng arrive with Xie Chi’s group, then reunite with Shen Ru and Mo Yu at the Factory. Despite his objections to unnecessary danger, Meng fights alongside them at the house and helps secure the captured mutants behind their car 168 170 171.

He supports Shen Ru after his violent demonstration of forward mutation but worries that returning to Xie Chi will place him in danger. Following the successful city assault, Meng explains that repeated experience has taught him to trust Shen Ru’s decisions. His caution persists in the underground shelter, where he anticipates further trouble and becomes angry when others treat Shen Ru’s healing blood as a resource 175 178 179.

Later Extras

Meng again hosts Shen Ru during a separation from Mo Yu, enduring seven consecutive days of hot pot. He asks Sheng to arrange a pickup, only for Sheng to arrive to eat. Noticing Shen Ru’s exhaustion and visible marks, Meng becomes protective, but misidentifies the cause of the dispute: Shen Ru is actually angry about Mo Yu’s pervasive secret recording 190.
