"Mr. Yi, when are we going?"
Lene seed quite interested as she looked at the ticket in her hand.
This past week, apart from occasionally going to the film set, she had mostly been eating and sleeping at the hotel, which was quite boring.
Yi Chen had just received a cup of espresso from the hotel attendant outside the door, holding an ice bucket in his other hand, filling the bathtub with ice.
It seed he was preparing to activate his brain with an ice bath and coffee to analyze the current chain of suspicion.
"We’ll go tonight, but William gave
three tickets. Who do you think we should invite?"
Lene pressed her finger to her chin, "The manager? No, the manager is completely tied to the hotel, so going out would be troubleso, and he’s definitely not going... How about inviting that zombie with us? Haven’t you been getting along well with him lately, Mr. Yi?
If not, I might be able to contact Aunt i to join us, she might do
a favor."
"Tentatively the zombie, I’ll take a bath first and leave at midnight."
"Be careful not to catch a cold."
Yi Chen, undeterred, undressed and sat in the ice-filled bathtub, looking up at the ceiling while savoring the coffee in his hand.
Ti ticked by,
as all the ice cubes almost lted away, Yi Chen hadn’t yet found a definite answer, only feeling a headache.
Though the orphanage had provided courses to exercise thought, and Yi Chen’s cognitive abilities weren’t weak, the current situation was indeed complex.
Ultimately, each of William, the zombie, or the manager might have ulterior motives, so caution was necessary.
If traced back to the root of the problem, the biggest issue was still William.
Because the manager was the first disaster William drew in, and Yi Chen’s hotel accommodation was due to William’s prior introduction.
The current relationship with the zombie was also facilitated by William,
imrsed in the ice water, Yi Chen for a mont seed to see an imnsely huge chessboard with many branches, and he was one of the pieces on it.
"Never mind, let’s just visit that guy William’s amusent park, it’s about ti."
The street was exceptionally cold tonight, and a special kind of rain fell from the sky, with temperatures below minus ten degrees. Having just erged from the ice bath, Yi Chen couldn’t help but sneeze, and Yellow Skin promptly ward his physical body, conjuring an umbrella.
When Yi Chen and Lene arrived at the theater entrance, they indeed found a zombie sleeping in the alley.
Standing up asleep, the cold rain had ford several ice chains hanging from the zombie’s body, making it look like a frozen corpse.
Yi Chen walked to the entrance of the alley, about to call the zombie, when a bizarre scene unfolded.
Crack~
The zombie’s body twisted like a machine, and the ice coating on its surface shattered and fell.
Its face suddenly turned 90 degrees, and from its damaged throat, one could faintly hear a sound akin to an engine, created by the strong breathing through the ruptured vocal cords.
The two eyeballs were pale and colorless, seeming not yet fully awake.
As the virus cluster within the zombie beca increasingly active, constructing the ’zombie consciousness’ together, a black dot floated between the white eyes, making the whole scene harmless again.
"Uh (Mr. Yi, working so early? The troupe seems not to have opened yet.)"
"Not working, I received an invitation to help out. Would you like to join us? We have three tickets anyway."
"Uh? (Helping out with what?)"
"A new disaster, William Behrens, that guy who looks similar to , his large amusent park is starting trial operations tonight, and he needs
to help test the operational efficiency and completeness of the park.
Of course, so facilities are untested and involve certain risks. Do you want to join us?"
"Uh! (As long as it doesn’t affect tomorrow’s troupe work, it’s fine. Thank you, Mr. Yi, for specially inviting . I’m actually quite curious about your relationship with Mr. William, since you two look so similar.)"
"We’re from the sa world, people there look quite similar."
"Uh~ (Oh, I see! I thought you were brothers or conjoined twins, that’s good... I actually don’t like Mr. William much, there’s an indescribable sense of danger about him, just getting close feels uncomfortable.
Mr. Yi is completely different, very reassuring.)"
"That guy is indeed dangerous. I owed him a favor before, so I’m helping him test the amusent park, let’s go."
"Uh? (Where do we go from?)"
"There’s an entrance right here."
As Yi Chen gestured to the depths of the current alley, a small graffiti of a smiling black hole was indeed drawn on the wall at the end, quite inconspicuous.
As the group approached and placed their tickets on the graffiti,
the wall instantly transford into a single-person transporting black hole structure, instantly sucking the ticket holders in. In the blink of an eye, the three stood in the vast plaza of the amusent park.
Behind them was no door structure, corresponding only to endless darkness, no longer able to rely on the ticket to return.
The amusent park seed unpowered;
the entire area was pitch black, and even the outlines of the equipnt couldn’t be seen.
The darkness felt excessive, not only limiting vision but also suppressing most perception. Even Yi Chen’s breathing skill couldn’t reach beyond five ters.
Lene was the sa, losing control of her perception, she felt a bit scared, even sensing sothing watching them in the dark. She moved her body as close to Yi Chen as possible.
The zombie didn’t feel much,
was only curious, being the first ti in such a seemingly vast, yet intensely oppressive environnt.
Tat~Tat~Tat~
A sharp footsteps sound ca from the darkness, as soone approached from afar, impossible to discern due to the limited perception.
Tat Tat Tat!
The footsteps gradually quickened from a slow pace to an incomprehensible rapid small steps.
Just as they were about to enter visible range,
Buzz!
The footsteps suddenly stopped,
and no one erged from the darkness;
instead, a flashlight rolled out from where the footsteps faded, with a folded piece of paper strapped to it with tape.
When William picked up the vintage flashlight, it had an effective range of thirty ters.
Peeling off the clear tape and removing the paper, a string of words familiar to Yi Chen appeared before his eyes.
Amusent Park Rules
*Please morize the following rules and strictly adhere to them during play, as breaching any will bring unexpected dangers, possibly inviting calamities beyond death.
"Cetery?" .
Yi Chen’s thoughts were drawn back to the cetery, back to his original experience in the transcend world, which was quite similar to the current situation.
However, these amusent park rules seed more troubleso and dangerous, and William showed no sign of appearing.
