Unfortunately, I had no choice but to go, even if I didn't want to.
The roller coaster ticket inspector wore a perfect smile, but there was a hint of something eerie in his eyes.
"Everyone, would you like to try it out?"
There must be at least fifty or sixty people standing in front of the roller coaster right now.
Are you going?
Of course they had to go, but most players didn't make any rash moves, seemingly wanting to observe first.
Finally, someone couldn't resist any longer and went through the ticket gate to sit on the roller coaster.
As soon as he moved, more than twenty people sat down on it, including Xiao Jin.
This roller coaster is very long and has a jungle theme. The car body is shaped like a giant python, and there are models of ferocious beasts all over the track.
Examples include a lion with its mouth wide open, a tunnel passing through the body of a dinosaur, and vine patterns entwined everywhere.
The roller coaster had plenty of seats, more than enough for all the players. Xiao Jin chose a seat towards the back.
The moment everyone sat down, the overhead railings and seatbelts automatically dropped, securing the players firmly in place.
The players were startled, tugged at their seatbelts, and were relieved to find no sign of movement.
Tie it up, preferably tie it tightly.
Xiao Jin also reached out and tugged at it, but she frowned. Before she could think further, the ticket inspector pressed the button, and the roller coaster started.
The moment the roller coaster starts, it's as if a long-capitalized wild beast has been suddenly released. Within three seconds, it soars into the sky at an astonishing speed, so fast that it's almost impossible to breathe.
Holy crap, this is a roller coaster, a rocket!
The players' screams instantly tore through the air, sharp and piercing, like flags being torn apart by a gale, rising and falling in waves.
At first, Xiao Jin subconsciously closed her eyes, but she quickly forced herself to adapt.
Otherwise, in a place like this, what's the difference between closing your eyes and committing suicide?
Meanwhile, she was silently counting in her mind.
When the countdown reached a little over two minutes, a terrified scream suddenly came from ahead. Immediately afterward, a blurry figure flashed past Xiao Jin's sight.
Amid screams and the sound of heavy objects falling, a player fell off the roller coaster, hit the tracks midway, and crashed into a pile of mud.
At that moment, all the players were stunned, and fear spread rapidly like a plague.
They hurriedly looked down to check their seat belts, only to find that the seemingly sturdy restraints were actually old and severely worn.
Wait a minute, everything was fine when we set off!
If you still don't realize that the amusement park did all this, then you're really a fool.
So that's the killer feature of roller coasters, but... isn't it a bit too simple?
Many players muttered to themselves.
Xiao Jin looked down and saw that his seatbelt was the same. With a gentle tug, the plastic fragments fell off in a flurry, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to break at any moment.
However, after the initial panic subsided, the players quickly took out the items they had prepared from their backpacks.
They frantically strapped themselves tightly to the chairs, fearing they might be the next to fall.
Xiao Jin also acted quickly. She found a bundle of rope in her spatial storage and used it to secure herself to the roller coaster.
However, she did not bind herself too tightly, as overly tight restraints could limit her reaction speed and make escape more difficult in case of an accident.
The roller coaster continued its rapid ascent along the winding track, each acceleration seemingly threatening to rip the players' hearts out of their chests.
With a heart-pounding roar, it suddenly surged towards an unprecedentedly wide curve, a breathtaking bend almost parallel to the ground.
As the roller coaster ascends a curve, riders are instantly pulled by the immense centrifugal force, their bodies suspended upside down in mid-air.
They were hundreds of meters above the ground, and from that height, the crowd on the ground looked like a dense swarm of ants.
The biting wind howled past my ears, carrying a chilling cold that made me shiver involuntarily and feel terrified.
Just when everyone thought there wouldn't be any more surprises, two piercing screams rang out as the two players lost their balance amidst the roller coaster's violent jolts and, for some unknown reason, plummeted from the sky like kites with broken strings.
Everyone was startled. Weren't they all secured? Could it be that the ropes on these two people had come loose?
"Ah—" The two falling players instinctively cried out.
Despite their shouts, their response was swift.
The previous deaths were due to lack of preparation. This time, having learned from past mistakes, one of the players took out a six-pronged hook from his backpack and threw it without hesitation after falling.
The rope drew a perfect arc in the air, steadily wrapping around the speeding roller coaster track, suspending him in mid-air and saving him from being smashed to pieces.
The other player, on the other hand, appeared much more relaxed.
He took out a flight device from his backpack—a cloud emitting a soft glow.
The cloud seemed to possess a spirit; with a gentle wave of his hand, it quickly spread out, steadily supporting him. Then, he slowly descended to the ground, though his expression was somewhat unpleasant.
Those flying props must be very rare, and this is only the first project!
With a "the more the merrier" mentality, the other players looked up at the sky. At that moment, a figure hung alone on the edge of the track, like a leaf about to wither.
Ma Ziyao took a deep breath. Thank goodness.
I had thought about what to do if I fell before, and this time my reaction was timely.
He then looked around, his gaze landing on the roller coaster on the other side. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and an idea popped into his head.
After the next turn, the roller coaster will travel to the section of track not far from him, where he will swing on the rope and have a good chance to land back on it.
If possible, Ma Ziyao would definitely not want to give up the mission.
As the roller coaster drew closer, Ma Ziyao's heart began to race, and his eyes gleamed with excitement.
He calculated the wind speed, distance, and even the rhythm of each jolt of the roller coaster; everything seemed to be under his control.
However, just as he was about to swing the rope and leap with all his might, an unexpected event occurred.
The grappling hook, which should have been firmly locked onto the track, began to weather rapidly, as if corroded by an invisible force.
The iron claws were rusty, and the ropes were withered and dry, just like the seat belts on a roller coaster.
Ma Ziyao's face turned deathly pale in that instant, his eyes filled with disbelief and despair.
"No, no!"
A desperate, hoarse cry escaped his throat, the sound quickly fading away in the wind.
Ma Ziyao had no flying gear. With a crisp and resolute snapping sound, the six-clawed hook in his hand completely collapsed, leaving him helplessly falling through the air.
