Chapter 71 Employee Home "Amusement Park Employee Code"...
The five people followed the puppet staff team forward. Although there were many people, no one spoke or pushed each other. It was so orderly that it was amazing. The moment the curtain of the circus exit was lifted, the fresh and pleasant air once again filled his nose, which simply cleansed his soul. An Rao tilted his head and found that several players who had not been pulled into the competition in the cage walked out of a narrow door next to him. One of them was even taken away and then temporarily replaced. This incident left a deep impression on him, and the big black mole on the face of this player was unforgettable. He definitely couldn't remember it wrong!
He saw a team of black rabbit soldiers handing each of the players a bottle of water, watching them drink it, and then leading them in another direction.
Strange, An Rao didn't quite understand. Article 7 of the "Guide to the Park" clearly stated that there was no other water source in the park except for the food court and the rest area. So where did these bottles of water come from? Even in the circus, An Rao thought about it and didn't see any puppet staff or ghosts drinking water or other beverages, so what was the water used for? Why did they drink water?
The puppet staff members coming out from different exits began to gather into three neat teams, and walked silently to the door of a building and stopped. An Rao looked up and saw a red sign hanging on the huge gray building with four big characters "Employee Home" written on it. They followed the puppet staff team back to the base camp of the amusement park staff mentioned in the first item of the "Park Guide"!
After passing a hall-like place and bypassing a huge circular room with a closed door, the three teams began to separate in an orderly manner along the three corridors extending from the back of the hall. Fortunately, the five of them were in the same team and there was no danger of being separated, but no one could predict what they would face next.
The group nervously followed the team and walked through a short connecting corridor. The corridor in front suddenly became dark and long, very much like the dormitory corridors commonly seen in universities. There was a door at regular intervals of several meters on both sides of the not-so-wide corridor, which probably led to the staff accommodation area.
What to do! They don't even know where their room is! An Rao looked up at Bai Chuan, only to find that he seemed to have really become a puppet staff, walking forward indifferently without any hint to him.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the team suddenly stopped. An Rao followed Baichuan's movements and turned left. Now, in front of him was a brown wooden door. All the puppet workers raised their hands in unison, turned the door open and walked in.
So that's why. No wonder there was no chaos when everyone lined up at the circus. The staff didn't have their own fixed rooms or even door locks. Everyone was like a group of worker ants, working and resting mechanically and indifferently, without any personal space or privacy.
An Rao leaned against the closed door and exhaled heavily. He actually managed to sneak into the room because of such a bug! This journey was a close call, but it was not until this time that he began to be afraid. What happened in the circus made him feel disgusted and terrified. Thinking of the red "food" on the silver plate held by the gray bunny girl, his stomach, which had been empty for a day, was churning. He never expected that he had just experienced Chinese-style horror similar to the red and white conflict in the morning, and in the evening he experienced violent and bloody Western-style horror like purgatory on earth. He didn't even have time to be afraid during this escape.
A wave of sour water burned along the esophagus into the mouth. An Rao bent over uncomfortably, holding the door panel for a long time before he had the strength to straighten up again. When he looked up, he saw an A4-sized paper pasted on the dark door panel, with something written on it.
An Rao wiped his glasses with the hem of his shirt and put them back on. He leaned in to read the paper and it turned out to be a "Code of Conduct for Amusement Park Employees"!
"We sincerely welcome you to join our park. We will provide you with enviable benefits and unimaginable long luxury vacations! The following is the staff code of our park. Please read and abide by it carefully. You will pay the price for any violation of the following staff code:
1. Please be sure to wear work clothes during working hours and never take off your work clothes in places where there are tourists.
2. Please try your best to meet the reasonable requests of tourists.
3. Please go to the staff cafeteria for meals on time.
4. Please check regularly whether there is water source in your area. If there is, please fill it with soil immediately and be careful not to touch the water.
5. Please check at any time whether there are white stones in your area. If so, please put the stones on the stone table in the hall and someone will come to deal with them.
6. Please trim the plants in your area regularly to ensure that they cannot be used for hiding.
7. There is no aquarium in our park. If your colleague invites you to go to the aquarium, please refuse directly because he is no longer your colleague.
8. You must punish visitors who violate the Park Guide and the rules of play. "
White stone, water, aquarium, water and aquarium are all related to water. The amusement park also stipulates in the "Park Guide" that there is no water except in the food court and rest area. However, according to the fourth article of the "Amusement Park Employee Code" posted here, it is not that there is no water, but that water is not allowed in the amusement park. Is it that the amusement park itself cannot control the appearance of water? Or does water have some function that tourists and staff cannot know? An Rao thought of the big fountain in the Happy Plaza that was locked tightly by a glass cover. Was it locked because the amusement park was unable to bury the fountain?
As for the white stones, which were clearly required to be destroyed by tourists in the "Guide to the Park", they only needed to be handed in here. Why didn't the staff destroy them directly? Moreover, An Rao took out two white stones from his trouser pocket. He did not destroy the collected stones, but no terrible consequences befell him. Why?
The small stones in his hand were white, full of cracks, and of unknown texture. For some reason, An Rao felt at peace when he saw them, as if they were rare treasures and he would not tolerate anyone causing any damage to them.
But since it appears in the "Amusement Park Employee Rules", it must not be an ordinary object.
An Rao reached out and touched the code. His soft fingertips stroked the paper inch by inch. Under the paper was a flat surface. An Rao withdrew his hand with some disappointment and turned around to check the small bedroom. It was more like a cell than a bedroom. There were no windows in the room. There was only a narrow bed, a washbasin and a simple set of disposable toiletries. There were hanger hooks for doll clothes on the snow-white wall. There was nothing else. It seemed that the purpose of this room was to sleep. The staff probably didn't spend most of their time here.
With no other choice, An Rao lay down on the narrow single bed against the wall. An Rao pulled away the quilt and padding, and sure enough, he found something! There were some messy marks on the wall blocked by the mattress, some of which were obviously scratched with fingernails and some were drawn with blood.
——Help! Someone save me!
——Run away!
——Don’t eat! Don’t eat!!
——My clothes have grown together with me!
——The food is great and the employee benefits are amazing!
——I love it here, I love the amusement park!
——I will always follow my God.
——Run! They are all liars!
——They are all man-eating ghosts! Don't believe what I said above! They are all crazy!
The handwriting was messy and sloppy, illogical and even self-contradictory, revealing a chilling madness. An Rao looked at the tooth-grinding scratches and not-so-old bloodstains on the wall, and felt a chill down his spine. He tried to calm himself down. He remembered the tragedy he witnessed before the first game started. The man who lost his map eventually became a member of the staff. Where is he now? Which park does he work in?
As for those monsters just now, they were just tools of the amusement park that eats raw meat and drinks blood. Who is the mastermind behind all this, and what does he want to do? If the bodies of the dead players are used to feed the monsters, then what does the mastermind eat, and what is the energy used to support the operation of the amusement park? What is the purpose of making the amusement park so horrible and bloody? The employees here are so well-behaved and obedient, how do they control it?
There were too many questions and he was too tired. Before An Rao could figure out the answer, he fell into a deep sleep.
At 7:30 in the morning, a bell rang from somewhere. An Rao immediately got up, put on the white curly sheep doll work clothes he had stolen yesterday, and then opened the door to go out. The little curly sheep looked around and found that the pink kitten Baichuan with a red hairpin and the brown puppy Su Ming were on his left and right. The pink cat looked serious, but the puppy was obviously listless. Presumably, the kid must have been frightened all night.
At a command, An Rao and the entire team began to walk in the direction they came from yesterday. It seemed that the huge circular room they bypassed yesterday should be the staff restaurant. An Rao looked around to study the route, but found that there were no other forks except the corridor he was currently walking in. However, they could not eat the staff meals here!
Suddenly, I heard Kashiwa's low voice behind me: "Don't look around. When you get to the restaurant, just run towards the lobby when I tell you to."
The puppet staff who had arrived earlier were already eating in the restaurant. They placed their exaggerated headgear beside themselves and wolfed down the food on their plates. Unlike the horrifying scene seen last night, the plates contained ordinary food: boiled eggs, golden toast, greasy green stir-fried vegetables, snow-white steamed buns, boiling hot milk, and a red apple.
"Gurgle." An Rao's stomach growled, and then he heard a low laugh coming from behind him.
More and more people came to the restaurant, perhaps because eating places always make people feel relaxed. After the doll staff entered the restaurant, they seemed to have released the restrictions of queuing. They began to pick up their plates and follow the line to choose their favorite food. The restaurant, which was not particularly large, was immediately filled with all kinds of bulky doll costumes.
"Follow me." The pink kitten nimbly moved among a bunch of chubby and round cows, ponies, puppies and rabbits, and soon the five of them filed to the edge of the restaurant.
"Run." The pink kitten pushed hard a doll staff member who had finished his meal and was quietly queuing at the door waiting to set off. The doll, which had no time to react, was like the first domino to be pushed down. Soon, the restaurant entrance was knocked to the ground, but the dolls who could not get up because their costumes were too heavy blocked the way.
What An Rao didn't notice last night was that there were six corridors in the same direction as the main entrance of the hall. These should be the passages leading to the six game sections, which were also the employee passages that employees had to pass through to go to work after lunch.
The chaos in the restaurant did not last long. Soon, the sound of chaotic footsteps could be heard behind the five people. They were chasing after them!
Several people were all injured, tired and hungry. Surrounded by the well-rested staff, they were like lambs falling into wolves' den. They had no room to resist at all.
But where to escape? Outside the gate was a thick fog, and no one knew where it would lead. The pursuers behind were getting closer and closer, and their heavy footsteps were almost touching everyone's heels.
The bulky doll costume became a fatal obstacle to his escape. An Rao gasped for breath in the stuffy sheep hood. The dried blood on his head was itchy due to sweating, and it gave off an unpleasant smell of rust, which made his nerves, which had been tense all night, even more drowsy.
"Go to the fourth aisle!"
An Rao heard Bai Chuan shouting in his daze. In his vision, which was trembling from running, the image of Bai Chuan taking off his doll costume while running became increasingly blurry.
"Plop." An Rao was tripped by his own lamb leg, but the next second, he was picked up by a strong arm and then stuffed directly into the passage by another brute force.
The gate is very wide but the six passages are so narrow that they can only accommodate two adults walking side by side. No one knows where is outside the gate, but the six passages are easy to guess. Unlike the rooms where players can enter different sections to choose amusement projects, there is only a white light at the end of the passage, and no one knows where they will be taken.
