Whoosh!
A scalpel gleaming with a cold light shot through the air.
However, the moment the scalpel touched the little girl, it passed right through her body, as if it were air.
Fang Xiu frowned immediately, waved his hand, and the silver strands of hair put the scalpel back.
Isn't it a physical entity?
"Chen Lingxue, light the fire," Fang Xiu commanded directly.
As if receiving a command, Shen Lingxue immediately took action. She spread out her fair hands, and two bright and blazing flames appeared in her hands. With a fierce flick, she sent the flames hurtling towards the carousel.
But the next second, something shocking happened: the flames seemed to burn in empty space, passing right through the carousel.
The little girl laughed even more happily.
"Hehe, uncles and aunties, come play with me! You can leave after you've finished any of the rides, everyone has to play!"
The crowd's faces immediately darkened. They hated this kind of strange situation the most, but they couldn't fight back and could only follow the other party's rules.
These amusement rides may look ordinary, but everyone knows that once you get on them, you'll face unimaginable dangers.
So what we need to do now is to pick the simplest ride from all the attractions.
So everyone's attention turned to Fang Xiu again, hoping he could predict which project would be the easiest.
Fang Xiu lived up to expectations and said without hesitation, "Cheng Xinyuan, go ride the carousel."
Cheng Xinyuan was taken aback: "Me? Me? And you guys?"
“Yes, just you. Don’t worry, I’ve already seen the future,” Fang Xiu said calmly.
He was actually lying. He didn't actually die and rewind. He simply wanted Cheng Xinyuan to be cannon fodder and test the danger of the carousel.
As for why Cheng Xinyuan was chosen, it's because he's considered one of the stronger members of the team and should be able to find out more things.
Cheng Xinyuan was somewhat skeptical, but he ultimately chose to believe him because Fang Xiu had no reason to harm him.
In such a dangerous moment, every extra person adds to the strength. Although he may not be the strongest, he is definitely one of the top-ranked experts in this team. There is no reason for Fang Xiu to kill him.
A carousel?
Cheng Xinyuan stared intently at the slowly rotating carousel and the little girl sitting on one of the horses.
He walked slowly, his mind racing as he went.
Logically speaking, the little girl is strange. She's riding a carousel, and a normal person would definitely not choose that route; they would definitely stay far away from her.
But Fang Xiu made me ride the carousel? And he only let me ride it by myself...
Could it be...?
Cheng Xinyuan suddenly understood Fang Xiu's intention.
The most dangerous place is the safest place!
The carousel was dangerous because of the little girl, but it's highly possible that the little girl deliberately sat there so that no one else could choose!
As for why I was the only one allowed to sit, it must be related to my abilities!
Fang Xiu must have foreseen the future and knew that my ability, Cheng Xinyuan, could counter the carousel, which is why he chose me!
That must be it!
Once Cheng Xinyuan understood Fang Xiu's intention, his teeth stopped chattering, his legs stopped trembling, and he quickened his pace.
He took two steps at a time and got on the carousel.
To be on the safe side, Cheng Xinyuan specifically chose a white horse, because the little girl rode on a white horse.
After he sat down, everything was calm and nothing happened.
He was just like someone riding a regular carousel, going around and around.
This left Cheng Xinyuan somewhat stunned. Was there no danger?
It seems that Fang Xiu did indeed foresee the future and knew there was no danger here.
The crowd was also somewhat puzzled, frequently glancing between Fang Xiu and Cheng Xinyuan, as if they wanted to ask why there was no danger.
"Cheng Xinyuan, how does it feel when you sit on it?" a spirit master couldn't help but ask.
"I didn't feel anything, it was just like riding a regular carousel."
Cheng Xinyuan replied with the same question.
But after the carousel had gone around twice more, Cheng Xinyuan suddenly felt a little tired, and he immediately became alert.
But after looking left and right, they still couldn't find any danger.
At this moment, he couldn't help but ask the little girl, "I just need to ride the carousel until it ends and then I can leave, right?"
"Yes, Uncle~" the little girl tilted her head and smiled, looking very cute.
But Cheng Xinyuan could only feel a chill run down his spine.
And so, the carousel went round and round, and apart from feeling tired, Cheng Xinyuan really didn't encounter any danger.
But just then, someone suddenly exclaimed, "Cheng Xinyuan! Your hair has turned white!"
When everyone looked over, they saw that Cheng Xinyuan's hair roots were faintly showing white hair.
Cheng Xinyuan was immediately startled and quickly took out his phone to check. Sure enough, he found that his hair roots had turned white.
He was horrified: "What on earth is going on?!"
Then, something even more surprising happened: he found that he looked ten years older in his phone photo, with wrinkles on his face.
"This...this is really me!?"
He looked at his hands again and saw that wrinkles had appeared on them as well.
Moreover, as the number of laps increased, he felt increasingly exhausted, his hair turned white, his wrinkles increased rapidly, and even his vision began to blur.
"The carousel is consuming my lifespan!!" Cheng Xinyuan finally realized, and he exclaimed in shock, his aged face filled with fear.
