Chapter 216 Parade of Floats

The closer you are to the float, the more people there are around.

When Jiang Liyue saw the parade floats, she had only one thought in her mind—there were so many people!

Excuse me, we've been in the amusement park for so long, surely a lot of people must have died by now, right? How come there are still so many people in the dungeon!

People were packed together.

This was Jiang Liyue's first time experiencing the feeling of traveling during a holiday.

After all, when she was in school, she did nothing but study and work. Later, she entered the entertainment industry and focused on filming. Come to think of it, she really never went out to play during peak seasons.

In the middle of the crowd, Jiang Liyue saw several huge floats connected together.

The float was entirely black, but it was covered with all sorts of twisted purple, red, and blue flowers, and huge blooms.

Upon closer inspection, you'll find that right in the center of those flowers are actually human heads.

The head's eyes were open, and its blood-red pupils seemed to be staring straight at everyone below.

Unsurprisingly, the performers on the floats were the eerie NPCs from the amusement park.

They stopped pretending to be human and instead revealed their true selves.

The rotting skin and the blood-soaked head on it were covered with human arms or torsos that were being gnawed at.

Its mouth is wide open, revealing sharp teeth like those of a wild beast and a scarlet oral cavity.

But the tourists around the floats were not frightened by the terrifying scene; instead, they cheered excitedly.

Damn, the weird food in this dungeon is way too good!

[If I could get into this dungeon, I'd be willing to eat three kills every day.]

Why are they eating and taking things away?

Forget about it. Last time I was lucky enough to get a job in the amusement park instance, but I ended up being assigned to the ticket check station. Haha, I didn't get a single bite of meat, all I got to do was say "Welcome" and "Welcome back next time."

I went into the dungeon to get some loot, not to actually do any grinding!

Hahahahaha

Jiang Liyue didn't find the scene in front of her particularly terrifying, but it certainly didn't look appetizing.

These bizarre ways of eating are so unhygienic!

Fortunately, that scoundrel of a man doesn't act like that, otherwise she definitely wouldn't want to date him.

After the float-eating-people performance ended, the next performance began.

"Today, we've also invited several tourists to join us in the performance," the eerie NPC holding a microphone said excitedly.

Several terrified humans were led onto the float by people in red uniforms.

"No, this isn't a game! People will die! People really will die!"

"Help us! Are you all crazy? There's something wrong with this amusement park!"

The tourists who were being helped were screaming with their eyes bulging out of their sockets, and Jiang Liyue could hear the despair in their voices.

Unfortunately, the crowd was only focused on the revelry, treating everything as part of a performance.

The host continued, "Fear and bloodshed can make this night even more enjoyable, so let's cheer!"

Then, several eerie figures surrounded the bound humans, tearing off their limbs amidst their screams and stuffing them into their mouths.

At the same time, the eerie figures standing on the floats set off fireworks, and a shower of blood rained down.

The crowd erupted into an even greater celebration.

Jiang Liyue watched this scene coldly. After the new performance ended, a strange-looking "person" appeared on the float.

The other person looked very tall, but had an oddly thin build and walked in a strange, light way.

His eyes were very large, with big, round, golden pupils. They were a strange pair of eyes that looked out of place on his pointed face, as if they took up a third of his face.

There's a sense of incongruity, like when a two-dimensional manga character appears in the real world.

He was wearing a black tuxedo and a bow tie, looking every bit the gentleman.

Jiang Liyue stood some distance away from the float, watching from afar as the other person walked to the center of the platform on the float, picked up the microphone, and said: "Hello, everyone, I am the director of Happy Amusement Park."

His tone of voice was also strange; it was a high-pitched, shrill voice that could easily make one's scalp tingle.

Jiang Liyue blinked. So this person was actually the kindergarten director?

After the principal introduced himself, the room quieted down, and everyone looked in his direction, waiting for what would happen next.

"I am very pleased that you have come to the Happy Amusement Park. Blood, violence, death, and everything that can bring happiness are all here. I am sure you have already experienced it."

"Next, I'd like to invite the tourists here to come up and play with me."

"Don't worry, this is just a fun little show at our amusement park, there won't be any problems."

The headmaster's voice carried a strange laugh as his gaze swept around the room, finally settling on Jiang Liyue.

Jiang Liyue's eyes met his.

Sure enough, he then said with a strange laugh, "How about this beautiful lady with the octopus balloon?"

Jiang Liyue wondered if it was just her imagination, but she noticed that his tone didn't sound pleasant when he said the words "octopus balloon".

As soon as he finished speaking, all eyes turned to Jiang Liyue.

But upon seeing Jiang Liyue, their envious gazes transformed into "I knew it": "Such a beautiful young lady, it's perfectly normal for her to be chosen."

Even the heads at the center of the flowers on the float opened their blood-red eyes and stared greedily at her.

What a beautiful face, what a fragrant body.

"Want to eat, want to eat, want to eat..." This was the common thought of a group of people driven only by instinctual desires.

The crowd automatically parted to make way.

Amidst these chilling gazes, Jiang Liyue, carrying her little octopus balloon, stepped onto the float.

Upon closer inspection, Jiang Liyue noticed that the headmaster's expression as he looked at the balloon in her hand was indeed a bit strange.

It felt like longing, but it was also some other emotion.

But he quickly looked away and exaggeratedly looked at Jiang Liyue: "Oh, you really are a beautiful lady. I wonder where you got those balloons from? I don't think such annoying creatures should exist in an amusement park."

He was subtly implying to Jiang Liyue that she should throw away the balloon.

Jiang Liyue smiled and refused, "This is a gift from Mr. Clown. Isn't it cute?"

The principal's eyes flashed with displeasure, but she forced herself to suppress her emotions.

But Jiang Liyue clearly saw him opening and closing his mouth and muttering to himself, "Clown, that crazy lunatic with a problem in his brain."

Jiang Liyue: ...She heard it.

But the headmaster didn't seem to notice. His mood changed quickly, like a capricious child. He quickly smiled strangely and said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about these unpleasant things anymore."

"I mean, now it's time for us to start our little game."

As he spoke, the headmaster clapped his hands, and immediately several NPCs came up carrying five black boxes.

"If you can figure out what's in the box, then you've won the game."

From the perspective of those below the floats, the boxes were filled with bloody entrails and limbs.

There's even a beating heart.
