Twenty minutes have passed.
As Xiao Jin sat in the bumper car, she suddenly heard a 'crack' sound.
Immediately afterwards, the surrounding darkness collapsed, the sky brightened, and all the noise and excitement returned to Xiao Jin's vicinity.
The sudden brightness made Xiao Jin's eyes slightly uncomfortable. She blinked, and after a while, she finally felt less uncomfortable.
Turning around, I saw Xu Qing and the others, with two other players beside them.
It's alright. Three people died, but it's much better than a haunted house.
Before the group could even exchange pleasantries, they were ushered out of the venue by staff, while new players waiting in line were just a short distance away.
After they came out, the group gathered together.
Xiao Jin glanced at them and roughly understood that they must have suffered at the hands of the vengeful ghosts who threw poison bottles, just like him.
Tong Xiaolu's eyes were a little red, and her face was a little pale.
Luo Bin, Cui Mingyang, and Xu Qing all had large holes in their clothes, suggesting they had been seriously injured before.
After seeing Xiao Jin's gaze, the group exchanged glances.
Luo Bin immediately cursed: "They are shameless! A bunch of ghosts ganged up on ten of us and even tried to force us to watch or talk about it."
And those few devils, they use every trick in the book. I spent at least a third of those twenty minutes dealing with them.
"Yes, it hurts so much!" Tong Xiaolu said, rubbing her shoulder with a pitiful expression.
Xiao Jin glanced at her, then immersed himself in the space, rummaged through it, and handed a bag of fruit gummies to Tong Xiaolu.
Seeing the candy that suddenly appeared in her hand, Tong Xiaolu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter through her tears.
She gave Xiao Jin a sweet smile: "Thank you, Brother Shadow, you're the best."
ha!
The annoyance in the hearts of the others was instantly dispelled by this little episode, and they couldn't help but look at the smiling Tong Xiaolu with amusement.
They really are just kids; a little candy is all it takes to appease them.
Tong Xiaolu pouted, "That depends on who gave me the candy."
………………
Unsurprisingly, everyone managed to get their bumper car badges.
While queuing to receive the gift, for some reason, the staff noticed that Xiao Jin's expression was strange, seemingly a mixture of resentment and fear.
Xiao Jin's expression remained unchanged, pretending not to see anything. After taking the badge, he led his men away from there...
"Sigh~" Luo Bin stretched as he walked.
"There's still one project left. At least the daytime projects are all taken care of. We'll have plenty of time to rest before checking into the guesthouse at seven o'clock."
"Yeah, it's been almost non-stop today." Running and fighting all day, even Cui Mingyang, who is in good health, is almost at his limit.
The horror VR cinema was quite far from the bumper cars area; it took the five of us about twenty minutes to walk there.
Although it was already 2:30, the sun overhead was still radiating heat, and there was nothing to block the view, which showed how much suffering the five people had endured on their journey.
I have no idea where the other players have gone. There's not a soul in sight on this road, it's eerily quiet.
Xu Qing had some guesses; these people were probably stuck in the haunted house and wouldn't be able to get out anytime soon.
Seeing that everyone was suffering from the heat and there was no one around, Xiao Jin took out the iced fruit tea that she had packed earlier from her space and handed one cup to each of them.
"Phew~" The group didn't stand on ceremony, and Luo Bin took a big, eager swig after receiving it: "Awesome!"
He narrowed his eyes: "Ying, you really are a treasure trove, you have everything. I almost thought I was about to be dried into a fish jerky just now."
Luo Bin is not heat-tolerant. While everyone else was exposed to the sun, he was like a faucet, his shirt completely soaked.
"Haha, then you must be a stinky dried fish too." Tong Xiaolu laughed.
"Huh?"
As they were talking, Xu Qing suddenly exclaimed, and the group stopped in their tracks.
Xiao Jin turned her head seriously and asked, "What did you find out?"
Xu Qing was holding his small, palm-sized display screen, which now showed many numbers that Xiao Jin couldn't understand.
“My mutation value has increased again.” Xu Qing frowned. “Although it’s not much, it’s only a fraction of a second per minute. If the robot hadn’t reminded me, I wouldn’t have noticed the change on the panel.”
Upon hearing this, the group simultaneously brought up their player panels.
Xiao Jin's gaze swept over it, and like Xu Qing, her mutation value had indeed changed to about 2.6%.
Tong Xiaolu asked in confusion, "But we haven't eaten any more food from the Ghost Restaurant, so why did the mutation value suddenly increase?"
The group was puzzled, so Xu Qing asked Xiao Jin and the others to hand over the chip to him.
After leaving the Ghost Restaurant, Xu Qing gave each of them a chip that could monitor their physical condition and had an early warning function.
It was because it detected the anomaly that it promptly reported it to Xu Qing; otherwise, Xiao Jin and the others might not have discovered it for who knows how long!
After handing the chip to Xu Qing, the group didn't rush to the horror VR cinema. Instead, they found a shady spot and waited for Xu Qing to operate it.
After a while, he raised his head: "Sure enough, that unknown energy is constantly pouring in from the outside. It's like oxygen, impossible to stop or expel."
"So, we can only passively watch it enter our bodies?" After receiving confirmation from Xu Qing, Xiao Jin lowered her eyes slightly; she understood.
“Since mutation values can increase, there must be items that can reduce them.” As he spoke, Xiao Jin raised his head, his gaze sweeping around.
When her gaze swept over a certain building, Xiao Jin's eyes visibly paused for a moment.
Following Xiao Jin's gaze, Cui Mingyang saw the small, pointed building opposite. From the outside, it looked like a rocket, but its exterior was painted a light pink.
In contrast to the large expanse of red and black in the park, it stands out remarkably.
Cui Mingyang: "If I remember correctly, that thing didn't exist before!"
"No, it appeared suddenly." Xiao Jin was certain that she remembered correctly; there was definitely no such thing on the road.
She then strode away, and the people behind her didn't even have time to stop her.
As Xiao Jin approached, she discovered that the so-called pointed building was actually not very large, seemingly only big enough for one person to sit down.
Xiao Jin did indeed see a figure inside through the glass window.
Upon entering, Xiao Jin did not hesitate to raise her hand and knock on the door and window. Not long after, the glass window was lifted up by a pale hand.
"Hello, welcome to the mobile food stall in the park. What would you like to do for me?"
