Chapter 458 Ferris Wheel



The setting sun gave all the equipment a golden hue.

"It's already so late, I'm a little hungry."

Lu Ban sighed. He felt it was a bit strange that they had to enter the park in the evening. According to Lu Ban's thinking, they should have come here to scout the area in broad daylight.

"Why don't we go get something to eat first?"

He pointed to the restaurant on one side.

There are many people in this restaurant and there is a souvenir shop next to it.

While Feng Yu took Xia to order food, Lu Ban went shopping in the souvenir shop.

Most of the souvenir shops in amusement parks sell peripheral products related to their own IPs.

Lu Ban saw some dolls but no teddy bear.

He picked up a furry brown doll with two round ears, which looked quite cute.

"How much is this... Oh, you don't support QR code scanning here, right?"

Lu Ban remembered the way this amusement park collected money.

"One hundred dollars."

The staff member in red uniform answered and pointed to the QR code on the side.

“You can scan the code.”

Lu Ban took out his mobile phone, scanned the code, bought two dolls and put them in a paper bag.

"Two should be enough..."

As he thought about this, he glanced at the records on his phone, which showed that it was morning...

"I'm starving, let's go eat first, please, I'll do anything!"

Shia said, pointing to the restaurant in front.

"I'm hungry too."

Lu Ban nodded and glanced at Feng Yu.

"It's okay. It's okay even if you're too embarrassed to tell me you're hungry. We've already decided to go have dinner first. It's getting dark now."

In the night, the bright moonlight shines, making the Ferris wheels and carousels glow with a layer of silver light.

The three of them walked into the restaurant. Lu Ban glanced at the souvenir shop next door and planned to go take a look and buy some souvenirs after dinner.

The restaurant's menu had clearly marked prices. Although there were no 88-yuan prawns, they were not cheap either. Some burgers, fried chicken legs and the like were quite expensive. Lu Ban looked at them and felt that it was no different from robbery.

But there was no other way, I was hungry, so I had to buy it.

Lu Ban secretly wrote several bills on sticky paper and bought a lot of food.

Fortunately, the food served in this restaurant is quite filling.

Fried chicken legs as big as arms, hamburgers as big as human heads, palm-sized biscuits, and quite delicious tomato juice.

Lu Ban enjoyed the meal very much.

Xia ate voraciously.

Feng Yu didn't eat anything. She didn't seem to like such high-calorie food.

"It's better to do it yourself."

As a pioneer in thrift and frugality, Feng Yu dislikes this kind of junk food.

Laika nibbled on a big chicken drumstick and felt quite satisfied.

There were many guests around. Lu Ban saw a blonde girl from Europe who was chatting and laughing with her classmates while eating finger-thick French fries on a plate.

The kitchen seemed to be quite busy, and some shouting could be heard all the time. The TV in the restaurant was playing promotional videos for various attractions in the amusement park. Lu Ban saw the promotions for the haunted house, carousel, and roller coaster, and thought they were all quite interesting. He planned to try them after dinner.

"This place is open as usual at night. I wonder if there will be any performances?"

Lu Ban thought of some amusement parks that had fireworks shows at around seven or eight in the evening.

When they finished the rest of the food and were about to take a break to experience other activities, they heard cheers coming from outside.

Lu Ban came outside the restaurant and saw that both sides of the road were filled with tourists.

The music was coming from the speakers under the street lamps on both sides of the road. People dressed in various doll costumes could be seen holding musical instruments and walking out from one side.

This looks like the Grand Parade.

"Why are these people so excited?"

Xia didn't quite understand.

"Because this kind of parade usually has the classic image of an amusement park and the atmosphere is lively, everyone likes it very much."

Lu Ban explained with his meager knowledge of amusement parks.

He felt that if he built an amusement park, it would definitely not have people in doll costumes walking around, but something more exciting, like a hundred demons parade at night or something like that.

As the music continued, Lu Ban also saw a teddy bear waving at the crowd. It seemed that this teddy bear was one of the mascots of this amusement park and was quite popular.

The tourists around him took out their mobile phones to take pictures, and Lu Ban also took a few pictures.

After looking at the photo, Lu Ban felt that something was approaching in front.

I looked up and saw it was the teddy bear.

The teddy bear waved at the blonde foreign woman next to Lu Ban, asking for a photo.

Lu Ban hurriedly took the phone handed to him and took a photo with his straight male camera.

"Thank you, my name is Jenny, and I'm from Uptown Third High School."

The other party noticed Lu Ban's good looks and introduced himself.

"Oh, I'm just an ordinary tourist passing by."

Lu Ban quickly remembered that Shangcheng No. 3 High School was the school where the student disappearance case occurred.

"So, those missing people might be trapped in this amusement park?"

He, Xiaya and Feng Yu squeezed out of the crowd and discussed what they had seen so far.

Although they only ate at the restaurant and watched the Grand Parade, there was nothing strange about either of these.

"Generally speaking, after the night parade is over, the amusement park will be closed and tourists should be allowed to leave."

Lu Ban spoke from his own experience.

"We should have come earlier. Now we may not be able to experience all the programs."

Shia sighed.

"Well, why are we here so late?"

Feng Yu also agreed. She looked at Lu Ban as if asking a question.

“That’s because…”

Lu Ban seemed to remember something.

Beside him, Leica was rubbing against his trouser leg, making intimate sounds.

"What is that thing?"

Xia used her hands to block the glaring sunlight. Under the morning light, the Ferris wheel was slowly rotating, sending couples one after another up to the sky.

"The Ferris wheel gives you a bird's-eye view of the park. Should we go up and take a look first?"

Lu Ban thought.

But one cabin of the Ferris wheel can only accommodate two people, and the three of them felt a little awkward.

"You two go ahead. I'll just wander around downstairs and ask around."

Feng Yu said she didn't want to go to a high place, so she held Leica's hand and stayed where she was.

"OK."

Lu Ban and Xia got on the Ferris wheel. As the machine turned, the car gradually rose higher and they could see the scenery of the amusement park. It was crowded with people and full of happy tourists.

He saw some high school students from somewhere walking together, some staff members wearing yellow clothes selling ice cream, and some teddy bears holding balloons and distributing them to everyone.

Xiaya also looked at these, trying to find the differences. Soon, a river came into her sight. It was Lingjiang River.

"In my foreign land, I almost never see such a scene."

She felt a little melancholy.

Turning her head, Xia saw that Lu Ban's expression was a little solemn.

"What's wrong?"

The girl asked.

“There is a problem.”

Lu Ban felt something was wrong.
