"Where do we go next?" Mingmei sensed that the atmosphere between the people on either side of her seemed strange, so she interrupted.
"Let's go to the 'Riding the Waves' project in the north." Mu Chen spoke quickly without any hesitation, and Lu Xiaoyao nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
Although she didn't know why Mu Chen had abandoned the Hellfire Sea Haunted House project in the south, which was closer to them, and went to the north first, based on Mu Chen's performance when defusing the bomb, Lu Xiaoyao felt that at this time, whatever the big boss said went.
"Why?"
It was bright and cheerful. Although she already had a good idea of what was going on, she became interested in the other person's answer and asked another question.
"The bomb suspect, Hikaru Matsushima, once studied in a neighboring country and greatly admired its culture. His previous designs also subtly incorporated some of the characteristics of ancient great powers, and this time was no exception."
Mu Chen had previously gone to the monitoring room with a group of people to search for tourists who were acting suspiciously. He had also found the information of the person with a mole on the corner of his mouth and an Omega chin on the poster, based on the identification provided by the Zhen brothers.
After confirming the man's information, he became even more certain that the bomber was the amusement park designer.
“But I don’t see any elements of a major power in this park, including the design of the entrance and exit. It’s just a bit too much…” Lu Xiaoyao frowned and thought for a long time, but she didn’t notice anything.
Of course, given Lu Xiaoyao's level of expertise, those present didn't believe she would know anything about this.
Mu Chen chuckled and turned his gaze to Mingmei, saying, "What do you think?"
The Five Elements.
Mingmei only said two simple words, and Mu Chen smiled, his gaze falling gently on Mingmei, and nodded: "Smart."
Lu Xiaoyao, standing to the side, was the only one who didn't understand what had happened.
Lu Xiaoyao opened her mouth wide, her big, lifeless eyes wide with complete bewilderment.
Lu Xiaoyao: I wanted to say something, but it seems she didn't have anything to say either.
"Um... what are the Five Elements?" Lu Xiaoyao raised her hand and asked in a low voice, mustering her courage.
"The five elements are divided into five categories: water, fire, wood, metal, and earth."
Mingmei looked at Mu Chen. The Five Elements were rather complicated, and she wasn't good at explaining too much at once. So, she just gave an example and then looked at Mu Chen, hoping he would continue.
Mu Chen was happy to oblige and continued, "And the relationship between the Five Elements and directions is as follows."
At this moment, their group passed by a map in the scenic area again, and Mu Chen pointed to the map and continued:
"The west belongs to Dui and the element of metal; the northwest belongs to Qian and the element of metal; the east belongs to Zhen and the element of wood; the southeast belongs to Yi and the element of wood; the north belongs to Kan and the element of water; the south belongs to Li and the element of fire; the center belongs to Gen and Kun and the element of earth. Similarly, the northeast belongs to Gen and the element of earth; the southwest belongs to Kun and the element of earth."
"And it's summer now."
Mingmei then pointed to the Steel Dragon Roller Coaster in the west, the Wooden Ferris Wheel in the east, the Wave-Riding Water Jet Boat in the north, and the Hellfire Sea Haunted House in the south on the map. Finally, she stopped at the Sand Sea Maze in the southwest, emphasizing the current season and time of day.
Mu Chen smiled in response, saying in unison, "That's right. The five elements interact with each other, forming form and energy through the interrelationship of the ten Heavenly Stems, twelve Earthly Branches, and the year, month, day, and hour. The heavens represent energy, which manifests as the seasons of cold, heat, dryness, and dampness. The earth represents form, which consists of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Form and energy interact with each other, giving rise to all things in the world. Therefore, the interrelationship of the five elements has endless wonders."
Lu Xiaoyao: =口=
"Among them, fire is located in the south, corresponding to summer. Earth grows in late summer, and summer is compatible with fire. Therefore, at this time, earth is located in the southwest."
After Mu Chen finished explaining, his hand finally landed on the sand maze in the southwest, and he said, "So, this was a premeditated bombing!"
"Yes, this amusement park only opens in early summer, and it's only late summer now. If the other party hadn't planned everything in advance, they wouldn't have designed it this way."
Mingmei nodded, appearing rather indifferent in contrast to the cheerful expression on Mu Chen's face.
However, the joy and appreciation in her eyes could not be concealed. The two looked at each other, and Mu Chen's smile became even brighter.
Of the three, Lu Xiaoyao, the only one who needed an explanation, looked utterly bewildered after hearing it.
Not only Lu Xiaoyao, but also the viewers in her live stream were the same.
【I don't understand! Do you people on Hualan Star learn this kind of mystical stuff from a young age?】
[No, no, no, this being from Planet Hualan can attest that we truly don't understand this, and very few people do. This is related to the knowledge in "The Ghostly Marriage."]
How did you pass this level before?
[I used to read walkthroughs, and I heard that those who beat the game didn't just play one round. They would stand inside from the start, wait for the structures to explode, memorize the order, and then play again.]
Nowadays, most people just quit while playing; nobody wants to complete all the levels.
So... what was their analysis of the explosion sequence?
[The order of their deductions is exactly the same as that of the businesswoman and the young man.]
After a group of [...] floated by, someone finally uttered a soul-searching question—
Are they cheating?
"Son, come home. There are too many cheaters out there, and Daddy can't protect you."
After being told "I want to hear an explanation" but "I didn't understand anything," Lu Xiaoyao finally calmed down.
She should just be a cute mascot pendant. _(：3」∠)_
