Chapter 208 The Mischievous Balloon~

Many people were standing in the square outside the amusement park.

At a rough glance, there are at least a thousand people.

Besides players like Jiang Liyue, there were also local NPCs in the dungeon, just like the young couple.

The entire square was noisy and chaotic, and the strange music coming from the amusement park made people feel dizzy.

There were long queues at all five turnstiles, making one wonder where all these people came from in the dungeon world.

[So many people! This place is like paradise!]

If we can get into this instance, what's the difference between this and going to a buffet?

[You're overthinking it. I've seen the Amusement Park instance before; it's closer to a world of strange and uncanny rules. You can't even eat anything without breaking the rules.]

Why don't you mention that the human mortality rate in the World of Rules of the Strange is really high, even though there are many strange things one can participate in?

Because there are many strange things, the problem of having too many humans is balanced.

Simply put, it's impossible to eat people as freely as you want at a buffet.

Wait, I think I see my wife!

[Me too... my wife is as beautiful and cute as ever in this instance.]

So, who are your wives?

[Of course it's Yueyue! Let's recommend our gentle and lovely Yueyue to the whole world!]

[With so many people, how did you manage to spot Yueyue so accurately?]

At this moment, the live stream also showed a dense crowd in front of the ticket gates, making it incredibly difficult to find someone among them.

[True fans know, I recognized Yueyue just from her back view.]

Even if my wife turns to ashes, I'll still recognize her.

Can't you say something nicer? Otherwise, Yueyue might turn to ashes.

[Yueyue's rounded back of the head is quite recognizable, hehe, I know every part of my wife's body very well.]

While the comments section was already discussing how to identify her by her rounded back of the head, Jiang Liyue had already reached the gate.

Despite the large number of people, the amusement park was surprisingly efficient.

Upon reaching the turnstile, to the left was a small room covered by a black curtain, from which came a stiff, monotonous voice: "Reach out your hand."

The tone sounded a bit odd.

Jiang Liyue obediently reached out her hand, and a pale, bluish hand emerged from under the curtain.

That hand was exceptionally thin, as if only a thin layer of skin covered it, dry and withered, a standard eerie hand.

The hand reached out and handed her a bracelet, the voice cold as it said, "Please keep your bracelet safe. Each activity you complete will be recorded on the bracelet, and it cannot be replaced if lost."

"Next."

Jiang Liyue walked into the amusement park with the bracelet in her hand and looked at it carefully.

It's similar to the bracelets you see in amusement parks, except it's all black with strangely beautiful red patterns on it.

Jiang Liyue couldn't figure it out, so she simply put the bracelet on her left wrist.

Behind them, the young couple from before also came in, wearing bracelets on their wrists as well.

The girl invited her: "Hey, want to play with us?"

Jiang Liyue smiled and shook her head: "No, I still need to go find my boyfriend."

"Okay." The girl sighed regretfully, a hint of reluctance in her eyes. "Then we'll meet again someday. I hope we can run into each other on the same project."

After parting ways with the young couple, Jiang Liyue finally looked at the amusement park notices posted at the main entrance.

She recalled that before entering the instance, the game had reminded her to carefully read the amusement park rules.

At this moment, there were more than a dozen people standing where the rules were posted. Some of them looked unhappy, while others were excited.

Jiang Liyue guessed that the person with the ugly expression was probably a player like her.

After all, the NPCs who come out to play are probably just as excited as that young couple. Even if they see the rules, they will only be more excited.

Only players will show particularly unpleasant expressions when they see contradictory rules that are full of traps.

Jiang Liyue also pretended to be an ordinary tourist and walked forward. Only then did she realize that the information on the amusement park notice was almost the same as what she had seen on the back of the flyer.

The only difference is the addition of a seventh clause.

7. If the principal's child is lost, please notify staff immediately upon finding it.

The task and rules both mention the principal's lost treasure, but we don't know what it is.

Jiang Liyue blinked, seemingly lost in thought.

Given the precedent of the mission in Prison 01 where the target, Noi, was actually a gem rather than a person, Jiang Liyue is now unsure whether the headmaster's treasure is an object or a human.

It might even be something eerie.

Let's wait until we have a lead before making any decisions.

Jiang Liyue scanned the rules again.

Thanks to her experience as an actress, she was able to memorize this long string of text very accurately in a short period of time.

Without being immodest, it's practically the same as having a photographic memory.

After making sure there was only a seventh item left, she turned and left, officially entering the amusement park.

Jiang Liyue didn't really know much about amusement parks. She grew up in an orphanage and never had the chance to go. After she grew up and entered the entertainment industry, she had even fewer opportunities.

I've only been there twice, and both times it was for filming. The film crew cleared out all the tourists, which was completely different from normal sightseeing.

After entering the bizarre dungeon, she ended up having a real amusement park experience.

She walked towards the main road ahead, where colorful balloons, ribbons, and lights lined both sides.

And some spooky decorations like pumpkin lanterns and demon wings.

Many tourists stopped to take pictures or looked around curiously, clearly there to have fun.

Jiang Liyue kept her eyes straight ahead and continued walking for a while until she arrived at a square.

The square was filled with various vendors, selling balloons, cotton candy, candied hawthorns, and more...

The person closest to Jiang Liyue was a clown holding a large handful of balloons.

The clown's face was covered in thick red and blue paint, with a comical red nose perched in the center. He cheerfully announced, "Free balloon giveaway! Come and get yours!"

The balloons in the clown's hand also fit the horror atmosphere; they were shaped like human limbs, looking both bizarre and realistic.

Jiang Liyue saw a girl curiously approach the clown and say something to him. The clown bent down, picked out a balloon from his hand, and handed it to her.

The girl took the balloon, and the next second the balloon exploded. Her head and the balloon burst at the same time, but her face still held the smile she had when she received the balloon.

Jiang Liyue: Hiss!

At the same time, the clown let out a strange laugh: "Hehe, prank balloon~"
