Chapter 457: 456. Amusent Park Does Not Need Philosophy_1
Looking at the toy bear distributing balloons, Shia made a suggestion.
“Let’s try to leave this amusent park and see if it’s impossible to get out.”
The three people and a dog imdiately moved towards the direction of the park’s exit.
Lu Ban even saw the ticket seller recognize him and prepare to stand up and strike soone.
“Shall we try the carousel?”
Feng Yu pointed at the carousel in front of them and suggested to Lu Ban and Shia.
“Try it out?”
Shia walked into the ticket booth and sat on a unicorn.
Following her, Feng Yu found a carriage and took a seat in the back.
Lu Ban caught up and subconsciously looked back at Laika, who was sitting on the ground.
The dog sat obediently in its spot, tongue sticking out, waiting for them.
He got on a bear and joyfully rode the carousel.
Having left the carousel, the three of them looked back.
“This carousel doesn’t seem to have anything special about it, nor any dangers. Should we ride it another ti?”
Shia proposed.
“We could try it again.”
Feng Yu nodded in agreent.
The three of them rode the carousel again, this ti Lu Ban on the unicorn, Shia in the carriage, and Feng Yu rode on a large bear.
As the music stopped, the three got off the carousel and looked back at the joyous ride.
“Strange, there’s clearly nothing wrong with the ga equipnt here…”
Lu Ban felt sothing was off but couldn’t pinpoint what it was.
He took Laika’s leash, and the dog circled around Lu Ban, even rubbing against his trousers.
“Is there a problem nearby?”
Lu Ban asked Laika.
“Woof!”
The Corgi barked once, wagging its tail, looking like everything was fine.
“Shall we try leaving to see what happens?”
After a mont of thought, Shia said.
“Or we could try a different ride.”
Lu Ban led Laika towards the roller coaster.
“Hmm, that works too.”
Shia nodded and walked behind Lu Ban with Feng Yu.
The three passed through the roller coaster’s ticket booth and boarded the minecart-thed ride.
“Speaking of which, Shia, have you ever ridden sothing similar?”
Lu Ban, struck by a sudden idea, asked the one beside him.
“When I was in the mountains, I once slid from the top to the bottom using a pot lid to avoid a mutated demonic beast bear.”
After thinking seriously, Shia answered.
“That must have been quite thrilling…”
Before Lu Ban could finish his sentence, the roller coaster started.
The speed was very fast, giving people almost no ti to react as the roller coaster shot out.
Most amusent park roller coasters do not rely entirely on chanical propulsion but use power to reach a high point and then convert gravitational potential energy to accelerate. Therefore, the design considers the interconversion of chanical energy and gravitational potential energy to complete the course with minimal power.
Moreover, during the slow climb to the highest point, visitors’ psychology gets affected by the surrounding scenery, gradually ramping up the tension. Sotis, the scariest mont isn’t plumting downwards but reaching the peak and the instant right before the descent.
But this roller coaster clearly didn’t follow the basic laws; it started at high speed from the beginning, with hardly any pause, like a ghost pulling the car.
“Whoa!”
Lu Ban joined the crowd in exclaiming as the roller coaster twirled and leaped, sounds waxing and waning.
Shia sat next to Lu Ban with a composed expression.
Fortunately, this roller coaster didn’t have ropes to decapitate people, and Lu Ban didn’t see a steel wire ahead reaping heads in a grisly scene. After the roller coaster ca to a stop, the three got off the ride.
“That was quite thrilling,”
Lu Ban concluded.
“Were you very scared?”
Shia asked, puzzled.
“Not really, but how can you ride a coaster without screaming?”
Lu Ban reasoned as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
“It’s so strange. It’s supposed to be an amusent park, yet you have to ride things that make people scream. Where’s the fun in that?”
Shia wondered.
“Maybe it’s because the people in this world live too comfortably, so they seek thrills that they don’t encounter in their normal lives. If people here had to endure the devastation of war every day, or guard against attacks from Demonic Beasts, then there probably wouldn’t be such things as amusent parks.”
Feng Yu explained.
“Amusent parks don’t need all that philosophical stuff,”
Lu Ban cut off Feng Yu’s speech.
He saw that the next batch of roller coaster passengers had already taken their seats, their eyes brimming with anticipation. The plush bear stood next to the last row, patting the head of a child who looked like he wanted to cry, trying to comfort him.
The coaster shot out like an arrow, and the screams boiled over once again.
The trio walked out from under the roller coaster’s canopy, still unable to find anything abnormal about the amusent park.
Besides the possibility that the visitors might all be people who had disappeared before, there seed to be no difference from a Common amusent park.
Lu Ban decided to randomly select a lucky visitor.
He called out to a girl from Europe nearby.
“What’s your na, please?”
Facing Lu Ban’s approach, the girl was initially flustered, but she cald down upon seeing Lu Ban’s face and began to speak.
“My na is Jennie, from Shangcheng No.3 High School,”
The girl replied.
“When do you plan to go back?”
Lu Ban asked.
“Go back? Go back where?”
Jennie was a bit confused; she seed to think of sothing else and blushed.
“Leave this amusent park,”
Lu Ban hinted.
“Oh yes, of course. It’s still early. We ca for a fall outing, and we’ll go back in the evening,”
Jennie answered as though she had just rembered sothing.
“Maybe you could leave early. The traffic isn’t great here, and it will be difficult to drive at night,”
Lu Ban suggested.
anwhile, his right hand materialized a silver pen and wrote a line of text on Jennie’s body.
[Wants to go ho].
Jennie hesitated for a mont but then nodded.
“I’ll go back right now.”
Watching her leave, Lu Ban stroked his chin, thinking.
“It doesn’t seem like there’s any effect on consciousness that makes people not want to leave.”
The text he had just written didn’t have a strong commanding power. Apart from making a blockhead like Qin Tiantian a bit smarter, if it was against another person’s subjective will, or if so kind of Extraordinary Power were influencing humans’ consciousness, then the text would be unlikely to take effect.
However, the girl nad Jennie was able to follow Lu Ban’s advice. At least in the matter of leaving the amusent park, her consciousness hadn’t been greatly affected. She did not exhibit a cognitive change that would make her think the amusent park was her ho.
“We could also try to leave and see,”
Feng Yu pondered for a while, and seeing the plush bear distributing balloons beside her, she continued.
The trio and Doggo approached the main entrance. The ticket booth staff, seeing Lu Ban from a distance, got ready to grab sothing nearby to burst Lu Ban’s Corgi’s head.
“Shouldn’t we find soone to ask about the situation first?”
Feng Yu looked at the bustling amusent park. Near midday, the sunlight pierced through the mist and shone on the Ferris wheel, glittering brilliantly.
People were coming and going; the place was like a paradise of joy.
