Loxin Amusement Park
Ding Can took two steps forward and saw clearly that there were three people lying in a row in the grass.
It is the kind of common greening bush with its surface trimmed into a very smooth shape.
It only looks fluffy on the surface, but it is still quite difficult to squeeze a living person in there. The three burly men who had trained well managed to place them neatly along the bottom of the tree trunk.
"So you were discovered by the surveillance first, but even if you hadn't been discovered, I guess they would have come looking for you when Cai Li notified them just now."
But this makes it even more certain that there is something on the carousel.
Cai Li was being interviewed in the middle of the street. In front of so many media outlets, he probably didn't have time to receive any information, nor did he have time to ask what was happening here.
And based on normal thinking, he shouldn't think that his bodyguard would fail.
It would be best if we could take advantage of this time to uncover the secret of the carousel.
Just as he was thinking about it, Xia Jialian made a gesture, signaling everyone to be quiet. After a few seconds, everyone heard very light footsteps coming from behind the building.
The footsteps came from afar. Ding Can saw the person coming first, and his cautious eyes relaxed for a moment.
"How did you know we were here?"
The person who came was Lin He, whom he had just parted with not long ago. He had changed a little from before. There was still a small piece of oil paint on his face, a hand-painted piece full of childishness, and no one knew where it came from.
Without answering Ding Can's question, he probably had a special way to find students who were also in the dungeon.
"I'm here to discuss cooperation with you."
Lin He raised his hand and waved the spread-out paper in front of them.
This is the activity map you receive when you first enter the park. You can collect stamps after experiencing each device, and the stamps of each facility have different shapes according to their characteristics.
Once the stamp forms the two letters NX, a total of eight dots, you will have a chance to draw a prize.
It was originally within their plan, but since they thought finding Cai Li was more important, they put the matter of collecting seals on hold.
Unexpectedly, Lin He's side was very fast. It wasn't long after the park opened, but they had already gathered all the facilities even though there were still many people queuing up at many facilities.
"What did you get in exchange?" Of course, there was no need to find other people for the lottery, so Ding Can guessed that it was what Lin He drew, which had a lot to do with the subsequent clearance of the dungeon.
"Look at this."
Lin He had a paper bag hanging on his wrist. He handed it to Ding Can, who took it. It was still a bit heavy. After taking it out, he found that it was actually a crystal ball ornament.
Different from the ones we usually see, the crystal ball is usually filled with transparent liquid, and there are small objects at the bottom. When you shake the crystal ball, sequins will shake in the water.
If it is white sequins, it will feel like being in a world of ice and snow.
But now the ornament in his hand was stuck to the top.
It was a dark blue pony, with its hooves stuck to the top of the transparent glass, making the pony appear to be hanging upside down.
Ding Can was puzzled: "Why is it the other way around?"
"After receiving it, I realized that this was no ordinary gift, at least it was different for us students."
It won’t have any special effect for ordinary tourists, it’s just a long-lasting ornament.
But for the students who are in the dungeon, it is a useful item obtained through hard work. The system immediately prompted Lin He that he had obtained a new item.
"This crystal ball is the opposite of what you've usually seen, so it also has the ability to reverse time. Once activated, it can return to a certain point in the past, but it's not controlled by humans."
Students who use the props cannot choose the time to go back to, and can only leave it to fate as to what situation they will face after activating it.
Lin He continued to explain: "And I can't open it. It hasn't reached the level of effectiveness that the crystal ball can activate."
Xia Jialian understood a little: "Is it because there are not enough people?"
It is normal to have restrictions on the use of props. If there is really no obstacle to allowing them to use them, it would be strange to just give them away.
"This is one of my guesses, so I thought of asking you to come and see if there would be any new progress."
Ding Can leaned in closer to look at the decoration in the crystal ball. "How do I do it? Do I have to shake it?"
There are no special switches around this crystal ball. If it is triggered for the sake of viewing, then this is indeed the only possibility.
So she raised her hand and shook it, then dragged the crystal ball a little further away so that everyone around her could see it.
The sequins that had originally accumulated at the bottom floated away with this movement, swaying in different directions.
The sequins are dark blue, and with the sunlight shining on them, it's like sunlight projected into the deep sea, with bits of light reflected on Ding Can's wrist.
As the water rippled, the stairs and flowers around him changed instantly.
The paint on the surface of the small building seemed to be erased by an eraser, revealing the original bricks underneath, which then gradually turned into a semi-finished state of reinforced concrete.
The height of the green trees in the garden became shorter and shorter until they disappeared.
In the end, the place where they stood had become a complete wasteland. Looking into the distance, they could see a few very simple farmlands, almost uninhabited.
The original amusement park in front of my eyes seemed to have pressed the rewind button and returned to its most original state.
To some extent, it also proves the changes of the times.
They are a throwback to a time before amusement parks were even established, or even earlier.
Ding Can saw the puzzled expressions of his friends, and before he could say anything, a light layer of fog covered his eyes. When he could see clearly again, all he saw was a festive red.
There were dozens of dining tables in front of me, and waiters carrying dishes were walking past me. This was a banquet hall.
The people at the nearby tables had smiles on their faces and were chatting enthusiastically. She was standing in the aisle, apparently moving around.
Ding Can first looked towards the most conspicuous position on the center stage and noticed the banner above it with the big words "Welcome everyone to Cai Li's graduation banquet".
Something flashed through her mind. They really went back to the past, and it was the day when the Cai family held a graduation banquet for Cai Li.
She looked around, wondering where the others had gone. There were so many people here, so she should be able to find them soon.
"Nuo Xin, come here quickly, what are you doing standing there?"
Just as he was thinking, he heard a familiar name. Ding Can looked towards the source of the voice. It was a young student at one of the tables speaking.
But why was he looking towards her? She turned around and saw that there was no one around her who was of the same age as Cheng Nuoxin, and there was no one standing there besides her.
Ding Can realized something and walked over doubtfully. It was not until he sat down at the dining table that he realized what was happening.
He had returned to the past through Lin He's crystal ball and had become a character in it.
To confirm, she asked her deskmate for a small mirror. Looking at the unfamiliar face in the mirror, she further confirmed her guess.
This is the same photo as the one he saw in the bulletin board in the park office before. He now looks like Cheng Nuoxin, who is about to enter university. It was here that he met Cai Li for the first time.
Does that mean that my companions have also changed their appearance and become a small part of this world?
She looked around at the faces of the people at the table and didn't see anything wrong. Everyone was adapting to the occasion and didn't behave inappropriately.
It seems that I have to take the initiative to expose my identity. How can I recognize people I know without making others feel strange?
Unable to find a good solution, Ding Can thought of another protagonist in the story.
According to Cai Li's previous account, if the timeline is accurate, he should have arrived in the banquet hall at this time, and was paying attention to Cheng Nuoxin's appearance, and was attracted to her deeply in his heart.
Just now when I was in the aisle, the other party had already noticed me, and might be secretly observing me.
She soon found young Cai Li.
It has to be said that Cai Li actually has a rather outstanding figure and appearance. When he stands next to his friends, he stands out so much that Ding Can doesn't have to spend much effort at all.
The few white hairs and wrinkles seen in the amusement park disappeared, replaced by a young and handsome face.
Even if he doesn't speak, sitting quietly in his seat with his hands folded, he exudes a temperament different from others.
Ding Can sighed briefly and then noticed that Cai Li's eyes looked a little strange.
He was looking at the people around him. Although he might not have seen most of the people invited to the graduation banquet, such an inquiring look was a bit excessive.
Perhaps it was the same situation as mine, and someone else had also traveled through time and space and become Cai Li's body.
Ding Can had doubts in his mind and wanted to observe for a while longer, but then he was invited to eat by the people around him.
She didn't have much of an appetite, but she still ate a little symbolically. Not long after, Cai's father came over with Cai Li to toast her.
After a long conversation about the need for mutual support among classmates, Ding Can looked at Cai Li standing beside him, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Finally, as he finished his drink and was about to leave, he found the time to ask, "Do you keep a diary?"
Cai Li was stunned when he heard this, then nodded almost imperceptibly: "I am Lin He."
Lin He still hasn't figured out what the situation is, but if he wasn't one of them, he wouldn't ask such a pointed question.
"Ding Can, I'll talk later." Ding Can introduced himself quickly and sat back in his seat with the people at the table.
"Why aren't you leaving yet?" Father Cai had already taken a few steps, but when he turned around and saw his son still standing there, he felt a little dissatisfied.
Didn't we agree that it was just a formality? What can you talk about with people from these small places? The most important thing is to talk more with those important people.
Lin He withdrew his gaze and followed this father who had appeared out of nowhere.
He knew that he had returned to the youth of the founder of Nuoxin Amusement Park. The first thing he saw when he came here was the girl whose current shell was actually Ding Can. He probably had some idea of how things would develop.
The crystal ball would not bring them to such a time point for no reason. Perhaps if they knew what happened at that time, they would understand the purpose of doing so.
The most important thing now is to find an opportunity to talk to Ding Can.
