"Ahem, let's go, let's go back and rest." After riding the Ferris wheel for a while, the Zhen brothers decided to go back to the administration building.
"dad!"
Suddenly, the cry of "Dad!" sent a shiver down Zhen Hu and Zhen Po's spines!
A bad feeling!
"I want to go see a haunted house."
"I want to too!"
The two little ones whispered to each other like devils, urging the Zhen brothers forward.
Zhen Hu: "You two are too small to get in."
Although they didn't know the order of the explosions, the process of elimination told them that the haunted house was no longer a good place!
"It's okay, Uncle (Grandpa) can hold me, we'll wait for you outside~" The two little ones looked at them in their adorable little voices and said the most terrifying thing, "Daddy, you're not going to be unable to do it, are you?"
Last time, because this didn't work, the two of them each spent 1.5 credits to buy boxed lunches!
This one... Hmph!
"Alright! I'll show you what your dad can do!"
Finally, in the same spot and the same pit, the two decided to lie down and go in.
Zhen Po hoisted Po Zai onto her shoulder in one go, making the other giggle, and then took the lead and rushed out.
Zhen Hu: "..."
"dad?"
Looking into the expectant eyes of the little boy in her arms, Zhen Hu was momentarily at a loss, unsure whether to throw her little brother into the trash can first or to throw her little brother into the trash can.
"Let's go! Your dad is the strongest!"
After gritting his teeth and saying it, Zhen Hu had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it!
It's just a haunted house, isn't it?!
...
After Mingmei and her team disarmed the bomb, they headed straight for the haunted house. Along the way, Mingmei naturally spotted Julian with his "girlfriend."
Julian's gaze lingered on Mingmei for a second before turning to Lu Xiaoyao and Mu Chen, who looked familiar yet whom he couldn't quite place.
I glanced at it a few more times.
What are you looking at?
Julian suddenly felt a sharp pain in his waist. Turning his head, he saw the girl beside him pouting, looking unhappy. Her big eyes darted around, landing on Mingmei and the others, before finally fixing on his face and asking, "Do you really enjoy looking at beautiful women that much?"
Julian: ...
Is there something wrong with this NPC?
"I just thought she looked familiar..." Julian wasn't guilty at all; he genuinely did recognize her, especially Lu Xiaoyao.
The Imperial anchor who made him "famous"!
Although he didn't remember much about the feud between the two of them in the game, he did remember that Lu Xiaoyao directly caused a senior student who was flirting with him to reject him.
"Alright, let's hurry up and finish riding the waves, then we'll wait to leave the amusement park." Julian patiently soothed the other's jealous mood and changed the subject.
Although the other person doesn't know why there's a "jealousy" trope, fortunately, they don't have a tendency to go all the way and are easy to appease.
As cute as a kitten.
Julian thought to himself.
...
Mingmei noticed Julian's gaze, but she didn't pay much attention to them.
They were stunned when they arrived at the haunted house and saw the long queue.
"Speaking of which, are haunted house projects popular?" Mingmei stared at the haunted house, which looked like an artificial mountain, and the high-tech special effects that made it look like a raging fire burning on the mountain, making the surrounding air temperature seem much higher.
Seeing this, Mingmei was even a little itchy to go in and have some fun.
Mingmei's bright, sparkling gaze fixed on the haunted house naturally caught someone's eye.
"Sir, should we tell the staff that tourists are prohibited from entering?"
"Not for now..." Mu Chen looked at the scene filled with heads and asked, "What if even the bomber didn't go in?"
"Uh? Boss, you mean..." Lu Xiaoyao stared wide-eyed at the crowd in front of her, her voice dropping as she asked, "You mean there might be someone in this crowd?"
Mu Chen nodded: "When I defused the time bomb from the previous 'Riding the Waves' event, the countdown still had a long time left, which means the bomb was only recently installed. If the other side arrived here just a little earlier than us, with so many people here, they might be right here."
“If we notify the staff, we might alert them…” Mingmei naturally thought of what he said and frowned slightly, “Who knows what they might do.”
Mingmei didn't dare to guess whether the other party would detonate the bomb right outside, since what the bomber really wanted to do was detonate the final bomb.
However, who can guarantee against such an accident?
"Then, what do we do?" Lu Xiaoyao was dumbfounded. Looking at the haunted house building not far away, and then at the crowd queuing up, she couldn't help but swallow hard, regarding the haunted house as a den of dragons and tigers.
"How about you cheat a little and sell me the lunchbox earlier, okay?" Lu Xiaoyao turned her head and looked at her pitifully, saying, "From now on, I promise, I will definitely 'sell me the lunchbox' whenever I see you, okay?"
If Mingmei hadn't encountered Lu Xiaoyao in three consecutive rounds of the game and hadn't smoothly rejected her each time, she might have actually believed Lu Xiaoyao's words.
but--
"Will you remember me next time?"
Lu Xiaoyao: ……
Like a scumbag's promise, Lu Xiaoyao's words sounded sincere, but they were like a pile of loose sand. The next moment, when she blew on the words "The game is starting," they all crumbled...
