The next question naturally popped up: “Then can we only go on a ride once?” 

The content of the instance is to complete the activity from your ticket within the specified time, and you can leave after completing it. He paid special attention when he left the ticket office just now, the horror amusement park opens at 8:00 pm and closes at 4:00 am, that is to say, the instance time limit is eight hours.

They have until four o’clock in the morning to complete the activities they have been given. If there was no sightseeing car, maybe eight hours would not be enough time, but now it is more than enough time. There are no other tourists in the amusement park, and there is no need to wait in line. Basically, you can go in and participate right away when you arrive. 

The instance mentioned that they “can leave” when they completed their activities, so what if they choose not to leave but participate in other activities?

They now have twenty-five clues. In other words, there are at most 25 rides/activities in the amusement park. It is impossible to play all of them in eight hours. After all, the amusement park is very big, but it is no problem to play half of it. In this case, as long as someone solves the clues, and others follow up to play, wouldn’t it be much safer?

Of course, this was just Chu Huai’s preliminary guess.

When everyone entered, bright red letters suddenly lit up on the originally pitch-black electric board behind them.

Chu Huai looked over and saw that it was the activity time announcement. A small part of his previous doubts was immediately resolved, the time of many activities conflicted with each other.

The roller coaster runs every 40 minutes, the haunted house runs every two hours, and the Ferris wheel is open all night.

Looking down, Chu Huai’s eyes darkened. In addition to the Ferris wheel, their other two couples activities are only open once a night, the Fairy Tale Princess Paradise is at ten o’clock in the evening, and the book of sexual psychology is at two o’clock in the morning.

So in the couples activity, the way to share the solved clues with other taskers after completion is blocked.

Everyone surrounded Chu Huai’s group in unison.

Chu Huai frowned slightly: “It’s useless for you to follow us. You can take single activities, but all three of us have changed to couples tickets. Except for the Ferris wheel, other couples activities only operate once a night.”

Dong Anya is also a little panicked, she didn’t expect the couples activities to be like this, but instead of playing solo activities, she would rather challenge the couples activities with Zhou Xiuwen, the two of them can feel at ease together.

In the world of horror, it is precarious, and they should cherish more time together. Although they want to live, if the other party dies, it is meaningless to live by themselves.

A girl who didn’t change to couples tickets suddenly panicked: “…Then what should we do?” The faces of the few people holding the single ticket were ashen.

Chu Huai thought for a moment, and asked, “How many of you have single tickets?”

Only four of them raised their hands, and the others showed indescribable expressions.

After a moment of silence, a man in a suit and tie finally said shyly: “We don’t know what’s going on, so we don’t dare to take risks, so… most of us only changed some for couples activities.”

He expressed his doubts: “Two single activities get changed to one couples activity, changing from six to three in an instant is not necessarily a good thing, and only those with strength like you dare to change, we…”

Everyone nodded, and Chu Huai found that even the two couples among the newcomers did not switch to all couples activities.

Chu Huai came up with a compromise plan: “Because the operation time of the activity is stipulated, you can communicate first, and those with the same activity can temporarily form a team and go together.”

Chu Huai pointed to seven or eight sightseeing cars parked side by side.

“The Ferris wheel is open all night, and the time is the most flexible. You can adjust the time appropriately.” Chu Huai glanced at the huge electric board on the wall, “It is now 8:10, the carousel will open at 8:30 and the roller coaster will open at 8:40. “

Jin Tianyi walked over to the map and then came back holding some folded green papers in his hand.

He gave Chu Huai one and then went over to give the rest away to the group. When Chu Huai opened it, it was a full map of the horror amusement park.

“Where did you get it?” Chu Huai asked.

Jin Tianyi pointed to the map board erected not far behind: “There is a groove next to the board, and I took it from there.”

While Chu Huai was concentrating on the map, Jin Tianyi thought for a while, and then said a few words: “I’m not sure whether the amusement park itself is dangerous besides the activity. You should try to avoid going to the bathroom and remote corners.”

Chu Huai looked at the map and heaved a sigh of relief. Although the couples activities are far away from the gate, they were all pretty close to each other.

They are now located at the west gate of the amusement park, but the couples activities are basically at the east side. There is only one gate in the amusement park, so they have to go back the same way after completing the activities.

After they got off the bus before, the bus didn’t leave. Instead, it stopped at the parking lot of the amusement park by itself, so after they finish the instance, they should go directly to the parking lot to find the bus in order to leave.

The closest thing to them right now is… the carousel.

Chu Huai waved to his teammates, and they immediately gathered and handed him their tickets wisely. Chu Huai glanced and saw that some had the Ferris wheel.

After Jin Tianyi found out, he got into the driver’s seat of the sightseeing bus first.

Chu Huai looked at the newcomer who hesitated to speak: “We will go to the east side where the couples activities are located. The map shows that the amusement park is hexagonal in shape, and the Ferris wheel is located in the center of the amusement park, from west to east. To avoid delay, we will definitely pass the Ferris wheel if we drive straight, so we decided to go to the Ferris wheel first.”

“The roller coaster and the Ferris wheel are close together. You can get on our vehicles, and you can also take it along the way. We can’t afford to waste time on other troubles, sorry.”

Chu Huai got on the sightseeing car after finishing speaking. Although everyone felt that he was right, after seeing him leave, they felt a little bit bewildered.

“Jiaojiao,” Luo Ziyang was a little worried, “Our first activity ‘Greek Mythology Theme Park’ starts at nine o’clock, and it may be too late to go to the Ferris wheel.

“The scale on the map shows that at the normal speed of the car, you can reach the Ferris wheel in fifteen minutes. If it is really too late, we and Anya will go to the Ferris wheel first, and I will give you the car. If you hurry up a little, you can arrive at the Greek Mythology Park in fifteen minutes.”

Luo Ziyang was about to open his mouth, but Chu Huai knew what he was going to say, and explained: “The map shows that there are sightseeing cars near each activity, so you don’t have to worry about us. Our earliest couples activity is at ten o’clock, and Anya’s is at  eleven o’clock, so we have plenty of time.”

Dong Anya nodded and also reassured Luo Ziyang.

The sightseeing car was big enough to accommodate twenty people. After the newcomers came up, Jin Tianyi started to drive.

The night wind was blowing, and the surrounding landscape was receding.

The car was slow, and Luo Ziyang became even more anxious. He was about to separate from Chu Huai and Jin Tianyi, and he didn’t know what the hell was going on.

Ye Yuan seemed to know what he was thinking, and said with a smile, “Brother Luo, there’s me.”

“I’m a ghost, don’t forget.” He leaned close to Luo Ziyang and said softly.

Luo Ziyang’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he leaned into his ear and whispered, “…XiaoYe, will you be able to cheat for me?”

Ye Yuan: “…” Excuse me. Do you think I can control the amusement park?

Ye Yuan looked embarrassed: “No I can’t do that.”

Luo Ziyang heard that and wanted to continue fooling around, but Ye Yuan said embarrassedly: “Brother Luo, I’m a little cold.”

Luo Ziyang quickly unzipped his coat, Chu Huai looked back, thinking that he was going to give it to Ye Yuan to wear, but…

Chu Huai’s expression froze for a second, and he began to question his professional ability.

In the back row of the car, Luo Ziyang opened up his large coat, hugged the thin Ye Yuan into his arms, and then covered him with the coat, like a pair of conjoined twins.

Ye Yuan’s eyes were stunned. That’s right, last night he was trying to sleep on the same bed as Luo Ziyang, so he tricked him by saying he was cold, but he didn’t mean that just now, he just wanted Luo Ziyang’s clothes…

Dong Anya and Zhou Xiuwen in the next row were ashamed to look at it, they silently looked away. The white-haired Hui Hui from before was also in the car. He sat in the last row, and Chu Huai sat in the first row. After thinking about it, he still dared to ask loudly: “What does the sword of Damocles mean?”

He felt his teeth cringe when he read it. The clues are related to life and death. He originally planned to use his mobile phone to check but found that the mobile phone had no signal at all.

The entire amusement park is blocked from the signal.

Those who didn’t know all pricked up their ears.

Chu Huai explained in a simple way: “The sword of Damocles is a Greek allusion. Damocles was a minister who envied the king’s life. The king told him he can experience it, so at dinner, Damocles enjoyed the beauties and the food, but when he looked up, he found a sword hanging from a single horsehair, hanging above his head.”

“The king wanted to kill Damocles?” Hui Hui asked.

Chu Huai shook his head: “No, the king wanted to show Damocles how high status is dangerous. The sharp sword threatens the king himself all the time. Happiness and peace are just appearances in the eyes of others. So be vigilant at all times.”

In this way, the explanation is understood, but everyone is even more anxious. They don’t even know the meaning of the words, let alone pick the right clues.

The car gradually stopped. The tall Ferris wheel is close at hand. Chu Huai got out of the car and looked at the time, it was 8:31.

Chu Huai said: “Then you guys can go to the Greek theme park first.”

Luo Ziyang and Ye Yuan looked at each other, nodded, and did not get out of the car.

When everyone got down, Luo Ziyang reluctantly waved to Chu Huai and then drove away.

“You guys pay more attention to the time for single activities, choose what to do first, and consider the distance.” Chu Huai told the newcomer a few more words.

Behind it is a towering Ferris wheel, with an estimated diameter of 134 meters, and the highest point may exceed 150 meters by visual inspection. If it falls… it will break into pieces.

The grid of the Ferris wheel is colorful and is slowly moving. There was no one in the grid.

Looking up, you can see the roller coaster in front of you. The whole facility is bright and stretches for thousands of meters. There are many large and small loops and the slope is extremely steep.

Chu Huai pulled Jin Tianyi: “…Fortunately, I didn’t get a roller coaster. It’s so long and has so many turns, it would be hard for me to ride on it.”
