Chapter 214 New Preparations
Fantasy Haunted House
In real life, Dorina is in her room watching the movie of the same name.
"Dorina" is a cooperative project between the park and an external company. In addition to the participation model open in the "Book Tour" experience hall, a nearly two-hour film was also edited and released nationwide.
In the movie, Dorina received help from the Fantasy Park at the critical moment when she was about to die with the monster. The Fantasy Park cleared the monster from her body and washed away all the pollution on her body.
In reality, Dorina killed the monster and herself, and then she turned into an evil spirit.
As soon as she entered the city, she was noticed by the wealthy and powerful city defense officer. As soon as she entered the city, someone immediately won over her vanity. After she finally ran back, her grandmother had passed away unexpectedly. Before she had time to pay tribute, she was immediately captured and imprisoned in the tower. Not long after, monsters came to visit. The extraordinary person who was said to be lustful delayed her for so long that the illiterate Dorina had to learn all the characters and gain knowledge before she finally arrived.
If she hadn't learned to read, if she hadn't gained knowledge, perhaps she would have compromised and become the mistress of that transcendent being. However, those who gained knowledge felt like they were connecting with sages who had transcended the mundane world, imbued with a certain air of nobility. She couldn't bear to be trampled into the mud. Rather than that, she would rather swallow the candy and perish alongside the monster.
How could there be so many coincidences? It turns out everything was arranged by the monster.
After learning the truth, Dorina in the movie resolutely gave up pursuing those people and instead directed all her attacks at the monsters. She later became a famous extraordinary person, led an uprising army with the same ideals, and joined the team to fight against the evil god.
In reality, when Dorina first became an evil spirit, she thought her soul was bound by the shackles of words, and she couldn't bear to kill everyone in the manor, so she only killed the rich man. However, once the evil spirit had the intention to kill, there was no turning back. She completely degenerated and became an evil spirit without any mind who only knew how to harm people. In the end, she was taken away by the fantasy haunted house.
Dorina in the movie had a brilliant life, and even though she died on the battlefield in the end, her life was glorious.
In reality, Dorina can only maintain her sanity by relying on the power of the fantasy haunted house to suppress her evil nature. However, as long as she remains sane, she will recall how many innocent people she killed when she was an evil spirit. If she were still an uneducated mountain girl, perhaps she could regard this as the law of survival among wild beasts, and comfort herself with ignorance and peace of mind. However, after gaining knowledge, her mind seemed to be injected with poison, and she twitched restlessly every night.
Dorina stared blankly at Dorina in the movie and murmured, "What's the point of this? Can a false story soothe my soul? Or can it awaken the fighting spirit of a soldier?"
She was not talking to herself, because besides the evil spirits in the fantasy haunted house, there was also Duoduo watching the movie with her.
Duoduo is already 14 years old. Compared with last year, she is a little taller now. Because she likes to eat sweets, she almost always has a candy in her mouth. Even when she is sleeping, she needs the sweetness of candy to help her fall asleep. Fortunately, she is not an ordinary person, so she doesn’t have to worry about tooth decay, nor does she have to worry about too much sugar intake causing adverse effects on the body.
She crunched the candy in her mouth and ate it, saying, "Half of the story is fake, but the feelings are real. The director said that humans really need stories, so we need to create more and more stories because there are too few literate people in that world. But stories, like words, have the power to educate people."
Seeing that Dorina didn't respond, Duoduo was a little unhappy. But thinking that Dorina's name was one-third the same as hers, she decided to forgive this impolite adult. She continued, "It's not really a fake story. If you hadn't been favored by that monster, the ending in this video would have been your ending. The director said that the monster must have a skill similar to deducing the future or foresight. It can know who will grow up to be a threat to it in the future, so it will act in advance."
"If you were just an ordinary girl, this rare and high-level monster would never be interested in you."
Dorina's expression changed slightly, and her fingers suddenly clenched.
She stared at the brilliant Dorina in the film, and her eyes seemed to be burning with fire.
If... this was supposed to be her future...
After a long while, Dorina calmed down. She lowered her head slightly and said to Duoduo, "Does the director have any instructions?"
Duoduo nodded, then shook his head. "It's not really an instruction. Recently, a staff member reported that since the opening of the Sky Aquarium and the 'Book Tour' Experience Hall, the number of customers in the Fantasy Haunted House has decreased, especially in rooms like yours where you can't spawn monsters quickly."
Dorina: ...
Malki and other evil spirits: ...
Although the duration of a haunted house experience is always fifteen minutes, no matter how long you stay inside, the food you eat and the things you experience will feel like a dream, unreal. However, if visitors continue to grind through the dungeons, the time it takes to complete them will be shortened by the duration of the illusion.
Moreover, many old tourists are tired of the old stories and keep calling for the park to have a skip function so that they can skip the story and start killing monsters directly.
In comparison, the likes of Dorina and March, which cannot pass through the border quickly, are naturally not well received, and their passenger flow has decreased a lot recently.
After hearing this, Dorina and the others suddenly felt like a star who had passed his prime.
Before they could calm down, Duoduo continued, "The director has no objection to this, but my eldest brother thinks this isn't right. He thinks departments that can't generate more benefits should be eliminated to free up space for more popular projects."
The "Big Brother" Duoduo refers to is Sal. All the evil spirits know that he is the director's first minion, and he is very favored. Sal has many flaws, especially his stinginess and greed. He is willing to sacrifice even his own beauty to generate more revenue for the park. With such low standards, everyone believes he will do anything.
Even a gloomy and taciturn man like March was a little frightened when he heard the word "layoff". He said, "I have created a lot of income for the park before. You can't do this to me."
Dorina said, "Where's Chi Xiaozhen? She won't allow Sal to do this."
Duoduo said, "My second sister has been very busy lately. As you know, her biggest hobby is handing out flyers. The director of the park doesn't allow her to hand out flyers to tourists in the park, so she recently ran away to that world. I heard that some princes and nobles in the Gondela Kingdom really like her flyers."
As to whether he liked the flyers or the people, Duoduo didn't say.
Marchi: "You can't do this. My room can be used for couples' testing. Many couples love to come here. Besides...where's the headmaster? He definitely won't allow..."
Before he finished speaking, Duoduo said, "The director said that big brother's idea is good. The park should indeed integrate resources."
At the beginning, the setting of the fantasy haunted house was to attract more tourists to fight monsters, but the "Book Travel" experience hall completely covers the experience of the fantasy haunted house, and the experience is better. This "holographic" experience is no longer too new to tourists, so the fantasy haunted house has completely become a place to kill monsters, and now only new tourists will seriously experience the fantasy plot.
Moreover, the fantasy haunted house would be thrown into another world from time to time to absorb a wave of evil spirits. There were more and more new evil spirits and new rooms in it, and Dorina and March gradually became less popular.
After hearing what Duoduo said, all the evil spirits felt a chill in their backs. Although they had no freedom in the fantasy haunted house, they could stay sober here, have mobile phones to play with, have access to the Internet, and occasionally have parties and play with the neighboring evil spirits. This was much better than living in a daze and only knew how to harm people. If they had a choice, they would never want to be kicked out of the fantasy haunted house.
Everyone thought that being laid off meant being thrown out of the haunted house and destroyed, and fear appeared on every evil spirit's face.
Duoduo continued, "The park's recent strategy of dumping electronics into the other world has been very successful, but it hasn't been able to effectively embed stories and guide ideas. Films like 'Dorina' and 'The Fall of Thornes', which are thought-provoking, would be immediately discovered by the evil spirits if they were introduced. Therefore, the director has decided that you should hide inside the electronics and use the power of evil spirits to conceal the church's detection. Rest assured, the director will bless you and ensure that you remain sane after leaving the fantasy haunted house."
So that's how it is. We don't have to kill them! The evil spirits breathed a sigh of relief, and then they heard Duoduo continue, "By the way, the director said that people outside have developed a way to sneak into that world through another crack. If you encounter them, you can cooperate with them appropriately. The choice is yours."
***
In the "Book Travel" experience hall, the story of "Dorina" was over, and the tourists who entered the experience during that period walked out from another exit just like a movie ended.
The lights above were bright, and there was a crowd of people around. Everyone had an expression of excitement or regret on their face. They were discussing the stories they had just experienced, and there was a sense of regret in their expressions.
"It's a pity that it's a bit short, only two hours."
"Two hours is not a short time! Luckily I didn't drink much water before going in, otherwise I wouldn't be able to hold it in."
"Dorina's story is so interesting. I want to go to the fantasy haunted house again."
"Let's not go to the fantasy haunted house. That's Be. Dorina's ending here is waiting for dawn on the battlefield. How wonderful and full of hope!"
"Hey, that monster-sir is so good-looking. I wish he was kind."
"Haha, how could there be any kind monsters? The kind ones are low-level monsters like Sangsang, who are stupid and unwilling to follow the evil god's rules. These high-level monsters are all carefully created by the evil god. They have the same brain circuits as the evil god, so how can they be kind?"
"Yes, kind people don't play tricks, and they won't play tricks on good people."
"Huh? Isn't that the NPC in the church? Can NPCs come out to play?"
"Ahaha, he must have been caught slacking off at work. Look at how bad his face looks."
Raymond in the crowd had a pale face. His lifeless eyes swept over the lively and rosy-faced tourists in front of him, but indescribable fear and confusion arose in his heart again.
Because his ticket was in a restricted immersive mode, he experienced every move of Mr. Monster. What was even more terrifying was that he saw his younger self from the perspective of Mr. Monster.
There was no way he could mistake that face, that tone and voice. That was the Holy Son of the Four Seasons Church, the person he had once idolized in his youth.
Oh my god, what on earth was going on? Was this what he thought?
If even the Holy Son of the Church is a monster in disguise, then among the upper echelons of the Kingdom of Theodore today, how many are humans and how many are monsters? Can he really tell the difference?
The sun was shining brightly in the park, and the entrance of the experience hall was filled with tourists with expectant and excited faces. Only Raymond had a stern face, and he heard the tourists talking about the park opening a new amusement project.
"Haha, it's finally time to open a new one. It's been so long. If there's no new preparation, I can't help but tell the director about it. Hahaha..."
Raymond's gloomy mood suddenly collapsed.
Why, why do people in this world have no respect for their gods, yet can live so happily and comfortably? Is it true that everything in his hometown is wrong?
