Chapter 39 Happy Square "Keep going until you die."...

The sky of the amusement park was always evenly white, like the big white lights used to fill in the light in a photo studio, giving people a pale feeling that was neither transparent nor healthy. An Rao squinted his eyes and looked at the sky for a long time, unable to guess where the weather could be so bad as always.

An Rao took out the white stone from his pocket and examined it carefully. The crack on the stone had a pattern similar to a simple star-shaped drawing, which looked very familiar. "Where have I seen you before?" An Rao frowned as he stroked the crack on the stone. After thinking in vain, he thought that the stone was from an amusement project after all, so he tried to touch the wristband with the stone, but surprisingly found that the wristband had no reaction to the stone.

"Strange." An Rao frowned and put the stone into his trouser pocket.

"Boss!" Su Ming's surprised voice rang out. An Rao turned around and saw Su Ming running towards him with a look of joy on his face. Behind him was Zhang Yong, who had been displeased with him all the time, and a man in a silver-gray suit who was whispering something while leaving the exit quickly. The two did not even look at An Rao, who was the first to leave the game and got 3,000 points.

Have you encountered something more important than the huge points?

Su Ming rushed over and plopped down next to An Rao: "Boss is worthy of being the boss. My boss is the best!"

"It's just luck." An Rao smiled and patted Su Ming's head. "Did everything go smoothly afterwards?"

"It went smoothly! Too smoothly. The boss has already fed the meal, so what difficulty can it be? Only that Zhang Yong was running all the way in a hurry for fear that someone would get ahead of him. But he still couldn't get ahead of the boss, hahaha." Su Ming smiled proudly.

Oh? Now he doesn't look like he's in a rush and his plans are going to fail.

"After breaking up with you, I was dragged into hide-and-seek again. After playing hide-and-seek, I jumped directly to the exit, so it would be faster than your regular path of pressing the slot machine and choosing the door." An Rao replied.

"Ah?!" Su Ming was horrified, "You went into that damn place again?!"

"Well, but I got out safely in the end. It's okay." An Rao smiled and didn't tell Su Ming about Bai Chuan. Perhaps it was because Bai Chuan was looking for him. An Rao was very cautious about everything related to Bai Chuan. He would not mention it if he could, and would avoid it if he could.

"It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay," Su Ming touched his chest with lingering fear, then shouted in surprise, "Boss, you're injured!"

"It's just a minor injury, it's okay, I hope everyone gets out safely." An Rao hid his hands behind his back, but this scene was seen by Shi Yirou who was standing behind Su Ming. The man was wearing a white shirt and black pants, which were not torn, so where did the black cloth used to wrap his hands to stop the bleeding come from?

strangeness.

"Thank you for your care along the way." Sister Lili saw that An Rao noticed her and nodded to An Rao to thank him.

"You're welcome. What are your plans next?" An Rao asked. Sister Lili is a very powerful woman, tough and calm, smart but not reckless. She will be a good teammate.

"Keep going until you die." Sister Lili had a cold and arrogant expression and did not succumb to the malice of the amusement park.

"Maybe one more person means more strength?"

"No, I like to be alone." Sister Lili smiled at An Rao, "Thank you for your kindness. One more friend means one more concern, and it will also increase the pain when you die. Why bother." After saying that, Sister Lili bowed to An Rao, as if a knight was saying goodbye, "See you again if we are destined to meet again."

An Rao looked at Sister Lili's graceful back as she left. Under the dim sky, this sister with fiery red lips was the brightest color. She would definitely survive and could even help more people survive.

"Can I go on with you guys?" Shi Yirou asked behind An Rao. She seemed a little embarrassed and tugged at the corner of her clothes. She was very different from the girl in the maze who dared to love and hate.

"Of course," An Rao smiled, "Welcome!"

Room 1429 was very tidy. An Rao, wearing clothes that had just been washed and dried, was sitting at the table writing furiously.

"Boss!" Su Ming knocked on the door and rushed in, "Shi Yirou said she wanted to come and get acquainted!"

"Welcome," An Rao raised his head and smiled at Shi Yirou who was standing at the door, "Just sit anywhere."

"Hey? Boss, what are you writing?" Su Ming came over and pulled the paper under An Rao's pen. He saw lines of clear and elegant handwriting on the white paper. They were all names, bank account numbers and strange numbers.

"Ah! Boss, you are still keeping accounts?" Silly boy Su Ming was shocked.

"I think Dr. Lin wants to transfer the money corresponding to the points to the family of the deceased player after he gets out?" Shi Yirou looked at the piece of paper and said softly.

"Well, the amusement park gave everyone points after entering the park. These points correspond to huge wealth in the real world, but when the player dies, the points will be reset to zero. Obviously, the huge wealth will also disappear. The amusement park is so cunning and cruel. It is sure that no one can get out alive, so it boldly rains gold to make all the players crazy for points. For the amusement park, this is a zero-sum game, but the players will really fight for these material things."

An Rao picked up the paper and said, "In this case, why should we let the amusement park go as planned? Since the players' points and money will be reset to zero when they die, why don't I take their points first? In the end, even if they die, I can save this huge sum of money and pay it to their families after leaving this amusement park. It can be regarded as a little compensation and consolation, so that no one will die in vain."

"Boss...you are such a nice person..." Su Ming's eyes were so full of stars that they were about to burst out.

"But if you really can't find the deceased's family after exhausting all your efforts, I will still accept it with a smile." An Rao smiled evilly.

"Of course. The most important thing is that we must not let the amusement park take advantage." Shi Yirou nodded heavily in agreement.

"We've rested for a while, let's go eat now?" An Rao clapped his hands and stood up.

Under the sky that looked like the eyes of a dead fish, the large fountain that was guarded tightly seemed much clearer and brighter than the sky. The strange thing was that with so many people coming and going, no one was surprised that the amusement park treasured the fountain so much. Not even many people stopped in front of the fountain.

"Don't you find it strange?" An Rao said, looking at the fountain that was clearly spraying water but could not hear any sound because it was sealed too tightly, "Why does the amusement park guard this fountain so strictly?"

"Because we need to save water?" Su Ming scratched his head.

"Maybe it's to make itself comply with the rule in the park guide that there should be no other water sources except in the food court and the rest area." Shi Yirou said.

"Maybe." An Rao stared at the silent fountain shining brightly under the sky. Shi Yirou cited the reason of Article 7 of the "Guide to the Park" that "eating and drinking are prohibited in areas other than the food court; there are no other water sources in the park except the food court and the rest area." Now think about it carefully, this rule really makes no sense. Not to mention whether everyone brought food with them when entering the park, why does an amusement park limit the water source? Aren't they afraid that tourists will die of thirst?

As for the source of water, An Rao thought of the well with strange patterns in the pirate ship, and even the round hole burned by the fire at the end of the hide-and-seek game. In a flash, An Rao saw that the entrance of the hole seemed to have patterns burned by the flames, but his attention was all on the stone at the time, and he didn't pay much attention to the entrance of the hole.

unwise.

The Happy Square was still bustling with people, and there were still many confused newcomers, walking aimlessly in the bustling crowd. From time to time, someone would come up to them and talk to them, which reminded An Rao of the spontaneously formed organizations that Tan Yang had introduced before. They would patrol the Happy Corridor, looking for suitable game partners, or looking for unlucky scapegoats to fill their lives.

The attitudes of those newcomers towards those who come forward to recruit them are also different. Some are disdainful while others are grateful. Some walk alone or join a group for warmth. Players will embark on different paths with different endings because of different choices, but the same thing is that everyone has to pay for their own choices.

A familiar silver-gray figure flashed before An Rao's eyes. It was Tan Yang. This time, there was an extra person, Zhang Yong, beside him. He didn't know what they were talking about, but it seemed that they had an unusually close relationship.

"Did you meet anyone else when you came out of the maze?" Looking at Zhang Yong's attentiveness to Tan Yang, An Rao tilted his head towards Shi Yirou and asked.

"Yes," Su Ming interrupted, "Uncle Tan!"

"I don't know why, but Zhang Yong and he hit it off right away. Even though he didn't get the 3,000 points he had been dreaming of, he didn't make a fuss. He just followed the man named Tan Yang without saying a word." Shi Yirou frowned. Based on her understanding of Zhang Yong, this was not something he would do. However, ever since that horrific game of hide-and-seek, Zhang Yong was no longer the Zhang Yong she once knew.

The boy, who was a little weak but gentle and considerate, died the moment he pushed her out of her hiding place, leaving only Zhang Yong's skin, which contained an evil spirit with ulterior motives.

"Does Zhang Yong like meeting strangers?"

"No, we were just two people from the beginning," Shi Yirou shook her head. "Every time we came out of an amusement project, we would encounter organizations that wanted to recruit us, but Zhang Yong refused every time. He said he couldn't trust others."

"Have you ever come into contact with the Believers organization before?"

"No," Shi Yirou shook her head, "but I've heard that this organization seems to be very low-key, and I heard that their boss is very powerful."

"Their boss is Tan Yang. It seems that Zhang Yong has reached an agreement with Tan Yang." An Rao said as he looked at Zhang Yong who was respectfully opening the door for the superior in the distance.

There were a lot of people in the Happy Restaurant. After all, according to Article 7 of the Garden Guide, all players could only eat and drink here, and had no choice. When An Rao and the other two entered the door, Tan Yang saw them, but this time he did not try to persuade them, but just watched the three of them strolling in front of the various food sales windows with interest.

"Do you have any objection to your girlfriend being with another man?" Tan Yang wiped the corners of his mouth elegantly with the snow-white tablecloth and asked his new partner with a smile.

"She will regret it. She will kneel down and beg me." Zhang Yong stared at Shi Yirou who was discussing what to eat with An Rao, and said with gritted teeth.

"I don't think so," Tan Yang stirred the after-meal lemon tea with a delicate silver spoon, "She seems to like Doctor Lin very much. You know, doctors are very popular here."

"Doctor? That guy is a doctor?" Zhang Yong sneered, "He must be a hypocritical liar. I didn't see him express any insightful opinions when seeing so many corpses in the maze. He just fabricated such an identity because he saw Yirou was easy to deceive. After all, Yirou is very powerful."

"Oh?" Tan Yang looked thoughtfully at the sugar cube slowly melting in the red teacup.

"Ah! Brother Baichuan!" Su Ming suddenly shouted excitedly, and then ran towards a table in the corner of the restaurant like a little rabbit, "What a coincidence, Brother Baichuan!"
