Chapter 86: Fantasy Amusement Park Staff Rules
In the “Integrity First” live broadcast room:
[Waah, oh my god, I didn’t even dare to breathe while watching just now!]
[Aaaaaahhhhhhh so exciting!!]
[Boohoo, although I know I shouldn’t… but the battle-damaged liar who is too tired to even get up is too much, damn it!]
Wen Jianyan checked on his injuries as quickly as possible.
Wrist, soft tissue contusion, slightly misaligned sprain, but nothing serious.
The limbs and torso were okay. Although many places were hurt, it was basically skin trauma.
The young man lifted his shirt and cast a glance.
The traces of being twisted by rope were particularly conspicuous on the fair skin, and the tight and slender waist was wrapped in a circle of blue and purple-red bruises. The color seemed to be deepening continuously, and it trembled with the undulation of unsteady breathing, giving a sadistic sense of beauty.
Wen Jianyan touched the wound with his fingertips and gasped in a “hissy” breath.
He guessed right, the skin was broken.
But it was okay and was not a very serious injury, and it wouldn’t affect his next action.
Wen Jianyan opened the system store, exchanged points for a bottle of painkiller, and downed it.
He stood up from his seat and just took a step forward when his brows twitched slightly.
……F*ck.
Due to the extremely tense state before, many things were easily ignored under the surge of adrenaline, but after the matter temporarily subsided, the discomfort that had been deliberately forgotten before surged up again at this moment.
Like…
The inner thigh where the garters had worn before.
The tiny wound was rubbed with the rough cloth and wet with sweat. It was supposed to be burning painfully, but under the action of painkillers, the pain disappeared, leaving only a weird itching and scalding feeling. That burning sensation on that particular sensitive piece of skin was really hard to ignore.
“……”
The root of Wen Jianyan’s ears turned a little red.
He gritted his teeth and had to go to the points store to redeem another bottle of desensitizing agent.
After taking a bottle of a desensitizing agent, the weird feeling disappeared, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Are you okay?” Yun Bilan’s voice came from the side.
Wen Jianyan turned his head to look.
After the rapid fall just now, her face was also a little pale, and she had turned her head to look over at this moment with a somewhat concerned look on her face. Elise was also on the roller coaster. She had put her head on the back of the front seat, her face was livid, as if she hadn’t recovered up until now.
“Don’t worry, it’s just skin trauma. I just exchanged for the painkiller.”
Wen Jianyan didn’t mention the desensitizing agent. He moved his shoulders and replied in a relaxed tone:
“It won’t affect the rest of the journey.”
“……”
Yun Bilan gave him a complicated look.
After the roller coaster stopped, she quickly realized the dangers of this project.
First of all, it was necessary to accurately identify why they entered the theme of “Falling into the Abyss” instead of “Through the Jungle”. After clarifying which rule they broke, it was necessary to find out whether the corpse or the puppet were judged as passengers by the instance.
And the most insidious point was that the person who would destroy the puppet would also be breaking the rules.
In the process of the roller coaster gradually rising to the highest point, the time was extremely limited; it was like watching a rope around your neck tighten little by little. No one was willing to sacrifice themselves to save everyone. The fear of falling to death was lingering in their hearts, and in the end, it would definitely have caused the anchors on the roller coaster to start killing each other, thus changing the number of people on the roller coaster.
In order for all members to survive, it required not only maintaining extreme calmness and observation skills in critical moments but also not having any intention of harming others, as well as the ability to think outside the frame and a terrifying action power that was almost crazy and bold.
She probably understood why the other party, as a loner with only level C and no teammates, was assigned to this level A instance.
Yun Bilan took a deep breath, turned her head, and looked toward the place where the commotion came from:
“So what happened over there?”
She frowned as if feeling a little puzzled:
“Let’s go, take a look—”
Before Yun Bilan could take a step, she was suddenly grabbed by the young man beside her:
“Wait.”
His voice was deep and solemn, which inexplicably made the heart skip a beat.
“…?”
Yun Bilan was startled, subconsciously stopped her pace, and raised her eyes to look at Wen Jianyan.
The other party’s brows were slightly frowned, and the lines of his side face were slightly tense. His light-colored eyes were flickering, and he quickly looked at the tunnel in front of him, saying in a low voice:
“The project is not over yet, this is not the end.”
Yun Bilan’s pupils shrank, and goosebumps instantly appeared on her body. She carefully looked at the tunnel in front of her.
In the dark and cold tunnel, the smell of damp and rotten wood floated in the air. The long rails stretched toward both ends, and there was a small control room beside the rails.
The green-haired clown who was staying inside had disappeared at this moment, leaving only a small empty room.
It seemed to be exactly the same as before, but…
It gave people a strange sense of disobedience.
Wen Jianyan’s eyes fell on the ground close to the track: “When I boarded the roller coaster before, there were many red lines queuing up on the ground, but it was empty here, with nothing.”
He looked at the control room on the side:
“I remember that when I got on the roller coaster before, nothing was pasted on the glass of the control room.”
However, there was a piece of yellowed paper stuck to the glass of the control room. Its corners were curled up, and there were densely written words on it, but the distance was too far away to see clearly.
“Rule 4.”
Wen Jianyan repeated the rules on the ticket in a low voice:
“There is no possibility of failure in this project. If the equipment stops working, please sit quietly in your seat and wait for the equipment to restart.”
Elise on the bed finally recovered from the dizziness.
She heard the conversation between the two at this moment; her face turned paler, and she hurriedly interjected:
“Wait, you mean…”
Yun Bilan’s face was ugly:
“It means that this is just a stopover.”
The project was not over yet.
Elise stood up abruptly and said in a hurry: “Then we have to call them back!”
She opened her mouth: “Hey——”
Just as she uttered a single sound, her mouth was suddenly covered by Yun Bilan, and the rest of the voice was swallowed into her throat, turning into a vague whine.
“Did you forget?!” Yun Bilan gritted her teeth and said:
“The third rule, don’t look back.”
Only then did Elise realize how big a mistake she had almost made. Her eyes widened slightly, and she felt a chill crawl all over her body in an instant.
These rules were nested one by one, and if they were not careful, they might make a mistake and fall into the abyss.
Yun Bilan breathed a sigh of relief and let go of her hand covering Elise’s mouth.
With a terrified expression, Elise lowered her voice and said, “Then, what about the anchors who got off the roller coaster? Are they…are they already hopeless?”
Thinking of what might happen to those who didn’t abide by the rules…
Elise shuddered.
“Not necessarily.”
Wen Jianyan said thoughtfully.
The two were startled and raised their eyes to look up at each other.
“If you carefully analyze the content of the rules of this roller coaster, these terms can be roughly divided into two types, one is prohibited and the other is recommended.”
Please do not open your eyes and look around, do not count the turns silently in your heart, do not look back, and do not destroy the decorations on the roller coaster…
These were prohibited.
These were expressly prohibited and must not be done.
“And the original text of the rule was, if the equipment stopped working, please sit quietly on the seat and wait for the equipment to restart. There are no words such as “must not”, “prohibited” and “do not”. It just says that if you encounter this situation, it is recommended that tourists stay on the roller coaster.”
“That is to say, if you follow the rules, you can greatly reduce the possibility of danger, but if you violate the rules, there will be danger, but it will not necessarily be fatal.”
While talking, Wen Jian Yan looked not far away.
The tunnel that was supposed to lead to the exit turned into a wall at some point, sealed tightly from top to bottom, and there was no way for people to leave at all.
The other four anchors stood nearby, talking to each other.
At least, they were still alive and well, which showed that this wasn’t “the violator must die” kind of rule.
“Then…then what should we do next? Should we just do nothing and let them stay below?” Elise asked in disbelief.
Yun Bilan pondered for a few seconds and suggested:
“What if we yell first: Don’t look back, listen to us?”
“It’s a good idea, but…”
Wen Jianyan’s gaze fell on the seat on the side where the twisted puppet corpse was: “I don’t think it’s that simple.”
“Why do you say so?” Yun Bilan was taken aback.
“The last team had all seven people wiped out, but there were only five people in the seats.”
Wen Jianyan lowered his eyes and said thoughtfully, “Where did the other two go? Were they deliberately hidden by the NPCs in the instance and only five were put to confuse us, or…
Were there only five left?”
The air fell silent.
“In the “Falling into the Abyss”-themed roller coaster, if the puzzle is not solved at all, it is no problem for all seven people to die. If the puzzle is solved, the team anchor should be able to understand that as long as the numbers are destroyed, they can survive, but in the end, more than half of them died.
Even if it was an internal fight, after realizing that the number of people has been reduced, they should stop.”
Yun Bilan’s expression also became serious: “You mean, these five people all died in here?”
Wen Jianyan nodded:
“That’s right, my guess is that in the theme of “Falling into the Abyss”, all the team anchors understood that it was related to the number of people, maybe there was a dispute, maybe there was infighting, and two of the seven died. They were swallowed by the abyss, so there were no corpses.”
“And…”
Wen Jianyan recalled the slight “click” sound he heard on the corpse in front of him when he was climbing the roller coaster, and could not help but narrow his eyes slightly.
He bent down beside one of the corpses, stretched out his hands, and carefully turned their pale and soft necks.
The hard cervical spine moved in the soft skin, and it seemed that it had been broken for a long time.
Wen Jianyan’s eyes darkened:
“They turned their heads back.”
These anchors also got tickets before entering the project. It was impossible for them not to know the existence of the rule “Don’t look back”, but they still turned their heads one by one.
This made Wen Jianyan think of the mental pollution conclusion he had drawn earlier.
Although they were still on the roller coaster, this did not mean that they were safe. After all, no one knew how long it would take before the roller coaster restarted.
Wen Jianyan’s brain was spinning rapidly, and finally, his eyes fell on the yellowed paper pasted on the glass outside the control room.
Could it be…
Could this be some kind of hint?
Wen Jianyan took out his phone and turned on the camera function.
Focus.
Zoom.
Even under the camera function of the mobile phone, the handwriting on the note was still extremely blurred, as if deliberately not to be seen from a distance, but the bold title on it is exceptionally clear:
[Fantasy Amusement Park Staff Rules]
After seeing the title clearly, Wen Jianyan’s pupils shrank.
Staff rules?!
This amusement park have this kind of thing?
“What did you find?” Yun Bilan’s voice came from behind.
Wen Jianyan took a deep breath: “I have to get off the roller coaster.”
“What?” Yun Bilan was taken aback.
Just now, he blocked her from getting off the roller coaster, but now he was actually going to get off himself?
“Wait, what do you mean? Isn’t this against the rules—”
Yun Bilan asked anxiously.
Wen Jianyan didn’t answer.
He gritted his teeth, ignored the nervous voices of the two behind him, and then slowly walked off the roller coaster.
