Chapter 17



In the midst of extreme fear, Tong Qianqian heard a clear childish voice: "Pretty Huahua."

She struggled out of her fear and saw the bone boy squatting beside her hand, carefully picking up the patch with his finger bones... As if dazzled, the patch turned into a small pink flower.

The bloodstain stuck to one of the petals had a fragile beauty.

Tong Qianqian was a little confused: "Wait... flowers? No, medicine patches..."

The bone child giggled, "It's the flowers in the small flower bed outside!" She seemed to like the flowers very much. She put them away carefully and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, sister. With the director here, no one can do anything bad in the garden."

Tong Qianqian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized. Although she didn't know how Director Gu had replaced the patch with flower petals without anyone noticing, it was obvious that the other party had saved her once.

Thinking of this, Tong Qianqian couldn't help but feel grateful.

It's also my fault. I don't have much social experience and I don't have any sense of vigilance against others.

But... she looked at Liu Peng with a cold look. She was inexperienced, but Liu Peng obviously had no brains either. Why didn't he ask about her family situation?

Outside, after Tong Qianqian and the other person went in, Zhou Tong quietly distanced herself from Gu Wang.

A master is worthy of admiration, but a master who raises a nest of ghosts... is terrifying no matter how you look at it!

However, Gu Wang did not notice her little movements. He just pinched a piece of talisman paper and made a few finger gestures.

Zhou Tong looked at the maze and couldn't help but move back, "Um, Master Gu, are you..." Are you contacting a ghost?!

Gu Wang hummed and put the talisman paper down, "Let me stretch my hands."

Zhou Tong: "..." She wanted to ask you to be more careful when you lie to me!

Gu Wang: "Just, finger sex, have you ever done it?"

Zhou Tong: "..." She moved away silently again.

I don’t know how long it took, but the door to the maze opened again, and Tong Qianqian walked out holding someone’s hand with a smile on her face.

Zhou Tong took a closer look and almost fainted. What Tong Qianqian was holding in her hand was actually a skeleton!

What's going on? Is the senior confused? She said this maze is impossible to enter!

She was about to speak anxiously when her senior student said, "Tongtong, come and see! The NPC in the maze is a skeleton robot! It's super intelligent, maybe someone is directing it from behind the scenes!"

Zhou Tong felt relieved. "Ah, is it a robot? Of course, even a master wouldn't be able to catch so many ghosts..."

The bone child who was being led took several steps before a shadow came out of the maze and stuck to his feet.

Zhou Tong: QAQ;

No! This is definitely not a robot!

Tong Qianqian didn't notice this unusual thing and excitedly told Zhou Tong how fun the maze was. "There are cute dolls! And some candy, but it's a pity I didn't get any. The most important thing is!"

She shook her arms, "The boss of the maze is super cute!"

Zhou Tong saw two pink spots appear on the cheekbones of the boy who was praised so directly.

Zhou Tong: Why do non-human creatures blush?

It was not until then that Liu Peng crawled out of the maze.

As he breathed in the fresh air, Liu Peng's face gradually turned pale.

He actually answered the phone in the maze and told the person on the other end the details of the kidnapping!

He knew that places like this usually have surveillance cameras. What if the staff discovered it on the surveillance camera, what if the other party called the police...

Thinking of this, he was so frightened that his hands and feet went limp. No! He couldn't go to the police station! He didn't want to go to jail!

He took out his cell phone again, wanting to ask the other party to protect him.

But when he saw his phone, he was stunned. It was still turned off? But, but he clearly remembered... Could it be out of battery?

His hand trembled as he pressed the power button... The phone turned on, and he was even more confused. Why? No call logs? No text messages from before? Had he been dreaming? Had he fallen asleep in the maze?

Just as I was thinking about it, a cold voice came: "Liu Peng, let's go separately on the way back. Tongtong and I will go together."

Liu Peng suddenly came to his senses and subconsciously gave a flattering smile, "Why? Didn't we come here together?" Besides, how could he do anything if we went our separate ways...

Tong Qianqian looked at him with disgust. "It's just an extra taxi. I'll pay for the fare. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Liu Peng lowered his head, his expression furious. How dare a little girl order him around? She deserved to never get married!

Tong Qianqian walked up to Gu Wang again and said, "Director Gu, thank you so much for this. Although I don't know how you did it... In a few days, someone may contact you to express my gratitude. Please be sure to accept it."

Gu Wang looked at the girl. Her family background was more than just okay.

Tong Qianqian smiled again and said, "As for this shoot, I will definitely work hard to get the amusement park featured in the promotional video!"

Gu Wang also smiled and nodded, "Thank you in advance."

Although Zhou Tong didn't know what happened, she had previous experience and guessed that Gu Wang might have helped the senior again.

Thinking about how much she owed Master Gu, and the weirdness of the amusement park... Zhou Tong burst into tears. You can't have it all!

The two said goodbye and left.

When Zhou Tong came, she was still a strategy expert on Tieba, and every player had to call her Sister Tong. When she left, she was already in a trance and in a state of prosperity.

Fortunately, Tong Qianqian was preoccupied with something and didn't notice anything unusual about her. She just sent her to school and left.

Zhou Tong returned to her dorm, feeling a little restless, carrying a big secret in her heart. She pondered over everything she had seen and heard at the amusement park, feeling that the anomalies were so obvious, yet she had ignored them, assuming they were all efforts by the park to improve the visitor experience...

Now that I think about it, there is no such thing as a peaceful life. Master Gu is just fooling people!

Thinking of this, she simply opened the forum. She didn't believe it. Was she the only one who noticed the abnormality?

The Yaoguang University forum has almost become a Fengdu zone. There are more than a dozen posts about the amusement park on the homepage. Some people have discussed the newly opened maze, but it was not open for business before, so everyone is just guessing.

Zhou Tong searched for a long time but couldn't find any information about whether anyone had noticed anything strange about the amusement park. However, she did see another post.

There weren't many replies to this post, but it mentioned her name and caught her attention.

"My dear family! I've cleared the Embroidery Tower over ten times, but why haven't I received the Candle Girl's blessing? Is it just for Mr. Zhou Tong?"

Shoulou: "I want it so badly! That red candle is so pretty! It looks like there are even carvings on it!"

1L: "I want it too, but I've been fucked by Miss Li three times! Three times!"

2L: "Maybe it's exclusive to the first pass? When new scenes appear, we will go to the first pass to try it out..."

Zhou Tong closed the post and pondered. Oh, yes, I think I got a candle, a blessing from the Candle Lady... If Miss Li is played by a female ghost, then the Candle Lady...

She recalled that when she was completing the game, the NPC who played the embroiderer disappeared in front of them. At that time, they all thought it was a holographic projection. Now that she thought about it, the embroiderer's hair clearly moved when the wind blew...

Zhou Tong's mouth twitched, and he started searching through all the drawers and boxes.

The roommate who was listening to music across from her couldn't stand it anymore, so she took off her headphones and asked her, "Tongtong, what are you looking for?"

Zhou Tong: "Didn't you all say the red candles I brought back were beautiful? Why can't I find them?"

My roommate said, "That one was taken away by Wan Sui."

The box in Zhou Tong's hand dropped to the ground with a bang: "What? When did she take it away?"

Her roommate was also shocked. "It's been a few days, right? Didn't you put it in the unused area before? Wan Sui came to our dormitory the other day and saw the candle. She said it was beautiful and looked like a prop her grandmother used in her operas when she was young, so we gave it to her."

Zhou Tong murmured: "Ah, now I remember, it was indeed placed in the idle area..."

Zhou Tong’s roommates are all nice people. Before, she was trapped by Meizhu and didn’t dare to communicate with others. However, her roommates didn’t isolate her. They even took her with them when getting hot water and helping with things like ordering.

Not long ago, their dormitory set up an idle area, which was actually a small table placed against the wall at the door. Anyone who had any unused items could put them there, and anyone who wanted to use them could take them.

Wan Sui is a girl from the dormitory opposite theirs. She has a good relationship with their dormitory and often comes to play. She is a non-staff member in the idle area, putting things in and taking things out.

Zhou Tong remembered that when she came back with the candle, she was happy because Meizhu's problem was solved. Seeing that her roommates liked the candle, she put it in the idle area with gratitude.

Later, I never had the chance to use the candle, and now I didn’t expect it to be taken away by Wan Sui.

this……

She took out her cell phone with some hesitation, wanting to contact Wan Sui to ask her not to use it, but she was not very familiar with Wan Sui, and it would be bad if the other party thought she was unhappy.

Besides, it’s been a few days, maybe they’ve run out of it…

Zhou Tong scratched his hair and started to act like an ostrich. Never mind. If there really is a problem, I'll go find Master Gu...

Master Gu, who was being talked about by her, sneezed and took out his phone to see an extra text message:

"Hello, I'm Yu Lu from the Municipal Public Security Bureau. The case you reported to the police has been resolved: the suspect is suspected of trafficking, abuse, drug abuse, and other crimes, and is currently being detained awaiting trial. The woman we rescued from his room was a trafficked woman, and after investigation by the public security authorities, her family has been found. We've uncovered a criminal chain that traffics women and children, and my colleagues have set up a special task force to investigate."

"The victim, He Xiaohua, has been returned to the welfare home after receiving treatment and psychological counseling. The public security agency has organized an internal donation drive for the welfare home to ensure the children can live well. For more detailed information about the case, please visit the public security bureau's social media account to view the case report. In addition, if you have any future information about illegal or criminal activities, please contact me at this number. Thank you for your efforts to keep Yaoguang safe."

Gu Wang's eyes curved and he replied, "Thank you for your efforts as well."

It is always refreshing to see evil being punished. Gu Wang opened the social network and found the account of Yaoguang Public Security Bureau.

After reading it, his brows furrowed slightly.

The notice stated that the suspect adopted He Xiaohua because someone paid him to do so and also provided him with fake documents and information.

But after he brought the child back, the other party took a look and said it was a mistake. They didn't want the child anymore and asked him to deal with it himself.

However, during the investigation, the police found no trace of his contact with anyone else, let alone any records of money transfers. As for the fake ID, there was evidence that the man had obtained it himself.

In the end, we can only conclude that the suspect lied in order to escape punishment.

Gu Wang's slender fingers tapped lightly on the phone. In this case, it was certainly possible that the criminal was lying, but it was also possible that there was a sorcerer who erased all traces.

What's more, what he cares about more is, what is going on with this "mistake"?
