Chapter 66 Carnival (8) He seemed to be saying goodbye to him...
After finishing his performance, Fei came to the wooden boardwalk by the sea. He watched the rising waves rolling up one after another, as peaceful as ever. Even the way they showed off their strength was extremely subtle. The night breeze was always so moist and gentle.
The colorful Ferris wheel is gorgeous and romantic, perfectly fitting the bustling theme of the carnival celebration, and the waves splashing on the beach reflect the neon lights.
Jellyfish emitting a faint blue glow floated above the water and were carried to the beach by the waves. Rather than being described as beautiful, their arrival was more like an ominous sign.
Fei turned his head, the wind made his neatly combed brown short hair a little messy, and the curls became more obvious. The dreamy lights of the Ferris wheel were reflected in his eyes, like sticky candy melting in the palm of his hand, and the flowing sweet stain was like poison.
"I heard that the extra show is a fireworks show. I remember there were no fireworks in the game mall. Where did you get the props?" The lighting engineer leaning against the guardrail asked leisurely. He was not surprised by this, but he couldn't help but feel curious.
Fei did not reply. He looked at the boundless ocean at the end. The waves were shaking violently, as if something was about to tear the calm sea surface and suddenly overturn everything tonight.
He lowered his eyes lazily. "A fireworks show doesn't necessarily have to be genuine, traditional fireworks. If it were just fireworks, carnival visitors would be disappointed."
The lighting engineer quickly realized what Fei was referring to and laughed. "You haven't changed, but what the carnival really needs is a different fireworks show."
"And isn't it a shame that the fireworks only have the portion over the sea?" Fei took out the ignition tool and stuffed it into the lighting engineer's palm. "There are explosives buried at the edge of the amusement park. It won't be difficult for you to find them."
"You just need to be responsible for igniting all the explosives." Fei finally said in his ear.
In fact, he only needed to create a fireworks show on the beach, but out of rare interest and bad taste, Fei thought it would be nice to have a sensational explosive fireworks display for the carnival.
Anyway, the attitude of those tourists is that entertainment is the most important thing and life and death are not a big deal.
Most people in the world of ghost stories basically hold this view. Apart from some well-intentioned NPCs who are specially set up in the player camp by the game to maintain balance, normal people are really rare here.
After the lighting technician left, Fei climbed over the fence and walked closer to the deep blue sea. The cold waves fluttered over his ankles. He lowered his head and saw the monster buried in the sand.
The Zhang He carnivorous plant was covered with sharp teeth, and countless white tentacles were wriggling under its body, trying to wrap around its body to kill its prey. Fei stepped coldly on the huge petals, pressing it so that it could not move and could only rage helplessly.
Under his control, the obedient shadow was like a more aggressive predator, easily devouring the ferocious monster, leaving no trace.
The monsters around that were originally ready to move suddenly became quiet when they saw this, and carefully retracted their swinging tentacles, for fear of angering this even more terrifying guy.
Fei took a step forward, and waves much higher than before broke at his feet. Countless giant black spiders appeared in his sight, their sharp legs strong enough to pierce the soft skin, and tentacle-like tentacles slid out of their cracked mouthparts.
The blade in his hand was so tiny that it was almost useless, and it was even harder to see when clamped between his fingers. However, under his control, it was extremely sharp. A cold white light flashed across, directly cutting the giant spider's body into two halves.
The monster, split into two, collapsed to the ground helplessly, hitting the tall and thin spider next to it, which suddenly cleared up its originally fierce eyes. It looked at the cold remains of its kind and was so scared that it was stunned for a long time before it remembered that saving its life was the most important thing and immediately hid to the side.
Fei looked further away. The bloody tentacles that broke through the sea horizon were about to block the low-hanging crescent moon in the sky, and the sound of the waves was becoming more and more violent.
He threw away the blood-soaked blade, and the shadow beneath him quickly spread out, sinking darkly into the water.
As a deafening explosion suddenly sounded, the scarlet tentacles were blown into broken limbs, and higher waves covered them, but soon returned to calm.
Fei crushed the space conversion ball, and the next second high-decibel cheers suddenly rang out. He stepped on the makeshift stage, and all he saw was the diffuse fog. The damp and cold air enveloped him, and only when the fog dissipated could he see clearly what was in front of him.
The stage was built in the area in front of the Ferris wheel, and the originally spacious square was packed with people.
All the tourists were freed from their doll state and returned to their original form. Behind the Ferris wheel, which served as the stage backdrop, were brilliant fireworks, which contrasted with the dazzling lights, forming a particularly eye-catching combination.
"Are you satisfied with this fireworks show?" Fei, without a headset, took the microphone from the clown hosting the show and stepped to the edge of the stage. "Of course, we've prepared more than just this performance."
A low-altitude fireworks display rose behind the stage. The changing lights and fireworks intertwined to create an excellent visual effect. Even the audience in the outermost rows could see it clearly. The sound of the fireworks resounded through the sky, and Fei's voice seemed a little vague.
“Although everyone hopes that the carnival can become a long-term program in the amusement park, it is precisely because of its brevity and splendor that it has led to such a surprise.”
He bowed as usual, just like every time he exited the stage before. Even bending his waist could not affect his original demeanor. The popular guest of the carnival who attracted much attention was always the one in control at the top.
"Unfortunately, our carnival celebration has entered the countdown to its end."
He turned his palm over, and the cards from the first show appeared in the sight of all the audience again. The cards in the front were fixed by his thumb. Fei shook it slightly, and several cards spread out in a fan-shaped arc.
He threw the cards with force, and thousands of cards fluttered in the air, just like the poker rain in the first show, but at the last moment it turned into real falling snow.
Without the red dye framing the corners of his mouth, Fei was actually smiling this time. "Congratulations on the perfect conclusion of our carnival. This fireworks display is a gift to all the spectators and the carnival itself."
Fei turned his head at this time, his eyes fell on Shi Yu, who was in a relatively forward position. The moment their eyes met, he raised his arm and threw the key in his palm to the young man.
Shi Yu saw Fei's actions. Although he didn't understand why or what it was, he knew what he wanted to express. He wanted to give this thing to him.
All the audience stretched out their hands at the same time, feeling the winter snow that the carnival had never seen before. The black key mixed in with the falling snow and was tightly grasped by a hand.
After successfully getting the things, Shi Yu's first reaction was to look up at the shining stage. The quietly spreading smoke made the figure above become obscured. Before being completely swallowed up, he saw the man silently squeeze out two words at him.
Goodbye, Fei said goodbye, as if he was saying goodbye to him.
[Ahhhhh, Brother Fei, are you leaving? I'm bursting into tears... Is there really no room for negotiation regarding the tonic...?]
[I suddenly remembered that since Brother Fei told the Operations Department this, many people automatically put themselves in the shoes of the protagonists and understood it, but I remember Xiaoyu didn't know about this yet...]
[I can't take it anymore. This is too hurt. Why does it have to be from Xiaoyu's perspective? He can realize that this is a goodbye, but he doesn't know why he only said goodbye this time. Shi Yu thought he would see him again, but he didn't know that it would be a long time later.]
Xiaoyu had come to regard Brother Fei as a trustworthy companion, and Brother Fei had guided and helped them several times, but he just turned and left like that.
[It hurts... What were you thinking as you looked at him at that moment? What kind of emotions would you feel when you think of this moment later...]
Fei ignored the barrage of comments crying out for permission to stay. He gave his game login device to Shi Yu, which was equivalent to handing over the connected panel as well. However, this actually did not have much impact on him.
He will return to his original appearance, but his abilities will not disappear. He just put some things in the backpack on the panel and gave them to Shi Yu.
"My appearance will change." This was why he had requested that the performance end with a foggy scene. With this cover, the change in his appearance wouldn't be too obvious. "Is there enough time to return to the world of Kwaidan before the fog clears?"
The Joker's answer is yes.
Bai Bei, who had broken away from his fixed form, turned around and stepped into the deeper fog.
Shi Yu kept staring at his figure. Perhaps it was the reflection of the fireworks and colorful lights, his originally dark brown short hair looked black, and his profile seemed to reveal a sense of familiarity.
Suddenly, Shi Yu had a bad feeling and pushed aside the person in front of him to come to the front row. When he looked again, he could hardly see the man's figure. The blond host turned around and looked at him, then he took a step to the side.
Fei's figure was completely blocked.
Shi Yu was inexplicably flustered. He gritted his teeth, held onto the edge with his hands, and climbed onto the stage. He raised his voice as he chased after the enemy: "Please wait a moment!"
There was no response, and the next moment he fell because he stepped on empty air. When Shi Yu regained his balance and raised his eyes, all that was left in front of him was a dilapidated and abandoned playground.
This is what the amusement park looked like before it was covered in ghost stories.
...How could this be, Shi Yu thought in confusion, has the ghost story disappeared? But how is it possible... ?
He remembered what Fei had given him before he left, so he lowered his head and looked at the ordinary-looking key in his hand. The three letters "Bei" engraved on it were particularly eye-catching.
This is Bobei's key.
Shi Yu was confused and disoriented. He wondered why his brother's key was with Fei. He didn't understand why he didn't return it to Bai Bei personally, and why he said goodbye so suddenly, as if he was going to disappear for a long time.
"...Shi Yu? What's wrong with you?"
His companions' shouts failed to bring Shi Yu back to his senses, and that clear idea was frozen in his mind.
Fei will never come back?
