Escape from Paradise (VIII)
"Abnormal? Let me take a look."
There was a momentary silence from the other side, causing Xu Wei to want to look down several times, fearing that he would fall.
“Is this the thing?”
There was a slight vibration coming from under the car, as if someone was trying to tear apart the chassis.
"Don't move yet, see if you can grab the rope!" Xu Wei shouted hurriedly.
The carriages were disconnected in a moment, and as they moved forward, Li Xia took off while hanging in the air.
Lu Fanye soon felt a pulling force on the waist bag he put down. Li Xia put a hand on the bag strap: "Are you ready? I'm going to press it. Remember to pull me up, otherwise I'll die..."
As he finished speaking, there was a sharp scraping sound coming from the chassis of the car.
The two of them pulled the bag up. Halfway through, Li Xia finally stuck her head out, stepped on the wall of the car, and smiled brightly: "I'm so embarrassed to be rescued by you all the time."
After a teeth-grinding creaking sound, the fourth carriage and its connected tail suddenly detached and fell freely, soon hitting the ground with a loud "bang".
Xu Wei then shook violently, as if he was also crushed.
The front of the car then began to move forward slowly.
Li Xia climbed up with the help of her strength, squeezed in next to Xu Wei, and grinned at her.
The latter turned his head and looked forward.
The roller coaster has passed all the checkpoints within the Second Ring Road and is now driving along a straight road towards the Third Ring Road, moving incredibly smoothly.
She now realized why the color of the first three carriages was different from that of the rear ones.
Can it be the same if you replace them with new ones every day?
Li Xia was still trying to find something to say: "Why don't you ask where my friend is?"
Xu Wei squeezed towards Lu Fanye: "Where else can I go? I fell down."
"Then why don't you think I'm weird? I'm not sad at all when my friend died."
She rolled her eyes and said, "Brother, I don't even know if I'm going to live or not. Why am I asking you this? Can you help me sit over there?"
So much drama.
"I thought you were going to scold me, and I was right."
Xu Wei was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Li Xia went to tease Lu Fanye again: "Brother Lu, how old are you? How about we become sworn brothers, and add Xu Wei, and become the three sworn brothers on the roller coaster?"
"You two can't just stay silent. How can we adjust the team atmosphere? You won't get far if you are too indifferent to each other."
"Why don't I have such reliable teammates? Every time I meet them, they are all 'consumables'. Why don't I go out and add a friend?"
Xu Wei glared at him: "If you keep talking, I'll throw you down."
Lu Fanye turned his head and stared at the person at the right time, maintaining consistency towards the outside world.
"Don't be so serious. Okay, okay, we're almost there. I won't say anything." He smiled and made a zipper-like gesture on his mouth.
The roller coaster passed through the barrier between the second and third rings and came directly to the third ring world.
The layout here is more compact. There are almost no open squares or large outdoor amusement facilities. Most of the tall and peculiar buildings are located in disorder. The streets are narrow and the passages are cramped, and there are fewer tourists walking around.
The track was still smooth and slow, almost like a turtle crawling compared to the previous time when the wheels were sparking.
The scenery in front of me gradually became clear.
"Fuck."
Li Xia pointed forward and opened her eyes wide.
The remaining track of the roller coaster winds and twists between several mountains.
Suddenly, the sound of monkeys barking filled the valley.
Countless ape creatures jumped out from the top of the mountain. They lifted round spheres larger than carriages out of thin air and roared excitedly.
"Could it be... coming to smash us?" Li Xia stuttered for the first time.
The answer was the mechanical sound from the bottom of the roller coaster. He leaned on the carriage and looked down. Gear plates extended from both ends of the chassis to fix the body of the car on the track. After the reinforcement, the carriage traveled more steadily, but the speed also slowed down.
Xu Wei estimated for a moment that it would take at least five minutes to cross the entire valley based on the current speed of travel.
"We have to go down." Lu Fanye glanced at the ball in the monkey's hand and saw it hit the mountain wall with a dull sound.
Solid.
Li Xia was no longer optimistic: "Human sandbag."
Having said that, he took out a rope from his pocket and tied it around his body skillfully, looking at the two of them as he did so.
"What are you looking at me for? Hurry up, or your bag strap will get stuck on the base of the car."
"What? Hey! Two against one, right?"
*
The roller coaster that had left more than ten minutes ago was slowly approaching the exit. The car was empty, without a single living creature, and the newly added carriages were as brightly colored as before.
The staff member sighed with satisfaction and boasted to the new colleague next to him: "It's very difficult for our project to fail. Since the opening, no one has been able to sit here alive. Apart from the Big Five, what other project can be like this? You've come to the right place!"
When the car stopped at the station, there was a hissing sound like air being released, and suddenly a voice came from underneath.
"Okay Xu Wei, I didn't touch you, so stop kicking me. You're going to fall down, it's several meters down!"
The female voice sounded a little annoyed: "Don't move my feet around, it's itchy."
"Come on, you guys grabbed my rope first and put me down first, so what's wrong with me moving a few times?"
"I'm not moving, don't kick me, don't kick me!"
Amid the quarrel between the two people below, Lu Fanye pulled the rope and flipped over to the track, reaching out to pull Xu Wei up.
Li Xia tied his hands with his waist bag and swung them in the air, still having the leisure to say something sarcastic: "If it starts moving again later, won't we be done for?"
Xu Wei couldn't help but kick him: "If you have such a bad mouth, stop talking nonsense."
"It doesn't hurt, haha!"
After escaping death, she felt better. She and Lu Fanye pulled Li Xia to her side and said, "Can you stop being so mean and yelling all the way? The ball didn't knock me out, but you almost made me faint with your chatter."
Li Xia climbed up the track with the rope and grinned: "Oh, I'm alive. What a wonderful day."
Amid the strange looks from the staff, the three of them walked onto the platform and went down the escalator without changing their expressions, accepting the gazes of the onlookers along the way.
Some people called them sick, while others exaggerated that those who survived the disaster would be blessed in the future.
After finding a place with few people, Lu Fanye opened his colorful notebook and said, "Updated."
1. Challenge mission: Flying over the Grand Canyon (exciting, adventurous)√
2. Purchase quest: Fortune telling tent fate white paper
"You guys only refreshed one too?" Li Xia came over and said, "I said we should become sworn brothers. The mission process is the same. We are destined to be teammates."
He opened the notebook in his hand, and the task list was exactly the same as theirs.
Xu Wei: "What about yours yesterday?"
He turned a page and pointed at it: "Buy hamburgers for Aunt Doll. I didn't see you yesterday."
"If the initial challenge tasks are the same, the form of the new tasks will be similar, and the subsequent challenge tasks will be similar." Xu Wei was quite skilled and summarized quickly.
The group system when entering the park is clearly intended to separate players and discourage cooperation, but the task list is set up in this way to make it easier for players to unite.
The copy is really an old contradiction.
"Let's go, third brother. We can't even think of a solution. Just finish this task first." Li Xia walked in front and waved at her.
Xu Wei looked up, a big question mark almost appeared on his face: "Who do you say is the third brother?"
"You, aren't we the three sworn brothers? Even though you all ignore me, we are already a family in my heart. I'll arrange them by height. Brother Lu is the eldest brother, I'm the second brother, and you're the third brother."
Xu Wei sneered: "Li Xia, if you really have nothing to do, go and have a fight with the old man on the pirate ship and see who wins. It can also be considered a contribution to clearing the dungeon."
After saying that, he quickly caught up with Lu Fanye.
"Wait for my third brother!"
After arguing along the way, the three of them followed the map and found the witch's divination hut. It was actually a small gypsy-style tent, with star and moon pendants hanging on the outside, a circle of crystal powder sprinkled on the ground, and a fire pit made of stones at the door, roasting unknown meat, with a burnt aroma that was very tempting.
Xu Wei touched the star ornament, which was a transparent soft plastic shell filled with glowing golden liquid.
An old, dry sound came from the tent, like the sound of fallen yellow leaves in autumn swirling on a tree trunk.
"Let me see who is touching my bangzi. It's you, little girl. This is not something you can touch."
Familiar dubbing accent.
Mao Cheng once revealed under her harassment that the background generation and NPC settings of the dungeon would refer to the cultural characteristics of Earth's civilization itself. The character of this witch has learned the Western magic stories in the Chinese impression.
Xu Wei let go of her hand and followed Lu Fanye into the door. As soon as he entered, the door closed from top to bottom, and the entire tent turned around, with the back without the star decorations facing her.
Is the tent alive?
How to use your butt against people.
"Okay, Bangzi, why are you angry with her? She's just a little girl." After a few words of persuasion, there was no sound of Lu Fanye, which made people wonder if he was swallowed alive.
The tent finally turned back on its own and opened its mouth reluctantly.
"Burp." It burped loudly.
Li Xia walked straight in, and seeing Xu Wei hesitating, he called out, "Come on, Third Brother, the mission must be completed."
The corridor is deep and long, and its area exceeds the size of the tent outside. This is a strange space that does not belong to the outside world.
Xu Wei didn't see Lu Fanye, so he could only follow Li Xia step by step inside and push open the door at the end of the corridor with intricate and obscure patterns painted on it.
The room was not big. There was a magic carpet near the door, a small round table with low legs and a few lame benches. There were only waist-high bookshelves filled with old books, and a few yellowed parchment scrolls spread casually on the ground.
Next to the potion furnace that was gurgling and emitting black steam, there was a short figure struggling to stir the stirring stick.
She wore a pointed purple wizard hat, an old cotton skirt, a dark green cape draped around her neck, her red hair was smooth, her shoes were round and blunt, and she was standing on tiptoe with all her might.
Hearing the noise, she turned her head, revealing her round little face, big eyes, small lips, a few freckles, and rosy cheeks.
"You're here?" When he opened his mouth, his voice was dry and shredded, as if he had lived for five hundred years.
"Little...Auntie, may I ask where you put my elder brother?" Li Xia changed the topic halfway, respecting the vicissitudes in her voice.
"Is that the one who just came in?" The little witch stopped stirring and patted her skirt.
"Yes, that's him."
"Please call me by my name, human," she said, smoothing the strands of hair that had fallen around her ears. She walked towards the small stool and pushed it to the feet of the two. "Marian Purple Crystal Black Rose Dreamy Allah allows you to sit down."
Li Xia was rarely stunned and didn't say anything for a long time.
What else can Interstellar Civilization learn from? It could learn from Mary Sue literature.
"So, Marianne, Amethyst, Black Rose, Dream, Your Excellency Ala," Xu Wei recited it word for word, looking down at the little witch who was struggling to fiddle with the bench, "Where did you hide my teammates?"
