Chapter 169 Giant Amusement Park
No matter how unhappy she was in her heart, Jin Jiaqi still did her job well on the surface and left a spot in the trash can for Qiao Song to come in.
There were four people squatting in the trash can, but it wasn't crowded at all. Jin Jiaqi suggested going to another game venue and letting Grandpa Chai use his jade pendant to locate them.
The reason is very simple -
"This positioning function can only be used once every few hours. Our top priority is to first confirm whether the rest of the teammates are still in their original locations so that we can reunite as soon as possible."
Mr. Chai has already taken a ride, so of course he is willing to contribute the positioning function this time.
However, Qiao Song was a little suspicious whether Jin Jiaqi's proposal was directed against him.
Jin Jiaqi did take this into consideration.
She just glanced at Qiao Song's neck and didn't see the jade pendant, so she suspected that Qiao Song didn't wear the jade pendant.
Perhaps, the person with the jade pendant nearby is not...
Green light exploded along the horizon, and six green dots appeared in the distance, scattered in various areas. Five of them were obviously still in the game area, and one was swimming outside.
There are 4 more, just concentrated above their trash can.
Qiao Song guessed correctly that when the positions are too close, these points will be squeezed together.
If it was too precise, Jin Jiaqi would have used this trick before and directly found the hiding player at that location on the intersection map.
The delivery guy was unaware of the undercurrents here and was still sighing: "This jade pendant is quite useful. There are exactly five of us here."
But one of the green spots was contributed by the security guard hiding in the flower garden.
Qiao Song had already asked the little paper man carrying his jade pendant to leave the big tree at the intersection and run to a farther place.
This approach successfully confused Jin Jiaqi, and she thought for a moment:
"Looking at the location, the roller coaster area is the closest to us now. Let's go there first."
The delivery guy subconsciously glanced at Qiao Song, and seeing that the boss didn't say anything, he didn't say anything either. But seeing Qiao Song's smiling face, he always felt that the atmosphere in the trash can was weird.
He changed the subject and asked, "According to the game prompt, six of us should have escaped, but there are only four of us here. What are the other two doing?"
Qiao Song raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He was still thinking about how to lead everyone to think that the security guard was still in the carousel area when he found Jin Jiaqi took the initiative to speak: "Maybe he ran into some trouble. After all, it is risky to move freely in the park."
Um?
The delivery guy felt something was wrong: "Then shouldn't we look for someone who has already passed the game..."
Jin Jiaqi interrupted him: "Teammate outside can move freely and are unlikely to bump into each other, but those in the game can't move. It will be faster for us to rescue our companions in the game first."
Qiao Song discovered the loophole in her language.
Since she said that teammates after completing the game are difficult to find, then why did she go straight to the flower bed as soon as she came out of the bumper car park, knowing that there were people hiding there?
Qiao Song and the delivery boy looked at each other, and neither of them said anything.
Qiao Song suddenly felt that Jin Jiaqi, like himself, knew the identity of one of the escapees.
Wait, could it be a jade carver?
The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
Just like he would conceal things related to the young security guard, if Jin Jiaqi needed to reach some kind of secret cooperation with the jade carver, he would of course cooperate and say similar things.
At this time, Mr. Chai also spoke seriously: "Xiao Jin has a point. The games in the park are so difficult. If you hadn't come, I would have suffered a lot in the bumper cars."
He was telling the truth. With his player skills, even if he could escape in the end, both the ostrich and himself would suffer certain injuries.
Jin Jiaqi laughed: "This is probably the meaning of the team competition. There are only players like us in the paradise map, so of course we have to help each other and clear the level as soon as possible."
She is lying.
A long time ago, Qiao Song and Tang Xiaoxiao obtained a lie identification card at a convenience store. At that time, she said that this card was useless to her and asked Tang Xiaoxiao to keep it.
Because she inherently knows who will lie.
Jin Jiaqi felt inexplicably guilty when talking about "team competition" and "only us players".
In particular, he didn't dare to look at Qiao Song, for fear that he might discover something.
Qiao Song recalled the unknown player he met on the carousel who had tricked the young security guard, and suddenly felt that Jin Jiaqi's words had a special meaning.
Is the player trapped in the Trojan horse the one who failed in the last round of team game, or something else?
The jade pendant given by the jade carver has a positioning function. If he was the third one to escape, then what was the jade carver going to do when he left the main group?
Combining these two questions together, Qiao Song always felt that Jin Jiaqi was indeed well prepared this time.
But it didn't matter. Qiao Song and Tang Xiaoxiao had long been preparing to find an opportunity to deal with her, but this person knew a lot of things, and it was difficult to pry her mouth open. And one game was enough for her to reveal her true colors.
The mobile trash can quickly headed to its new destination.
This is the so-called roller coaster area.
Including the time before, it was almost noon now. There were obviously more tourists in the amusement park, and as a popular attraction, there were even queues for the roller coaster.
It can be seen that due to the height requirements, there are no children in this area, only adult giants.
While Qiao Song was still observing the situation in the roller coaster area, he felt that Jin Jiaqi's emotions had obviously fluctuated.
She followed the other person's gaze and spotted a familiar figure on a roller coaster that was about to depart.
Lou Keqing?
The little girl is now also in the shape of a palm-sized puppet, but she looks a bit like Grandpa Chai, and she is confined to the front of the roller coaster.
With almost no protective measures, he just grabbed the handles on the front of the car and waited for the roller coaster to start. It seemed that this was not the first time he had done this.
The delivery boy and the old man also saw Lou Keqing and were immediately surprised: "Will she really not be thrown out?"
It seems that the difficulty of Lou Keqing's game here is even greater than the previous bumper car game.
Once the roller coaster starts moving, there are too many uncontrollable risks.
Qiao Song frowned and looked at it for a while, and quickly came to the conclusion: "Every game set up in this playground seems to be tailored to each of our abilities."
For example, Mr. Chai’s bumper car game is difficult for anyone except a few people to deal with. After all, except for ostriches, it is difficult for ordinary people to have such strong athletic ability.
Lou Keqing is an acrobat by profession. She mentioned to Qiao Song that before entering the game, Lou Keqing had practiced high-altitude swings and tightrope walking for twelve years.
On the roller coaster, perhaps the biggest danger to her was the giants in the front row whose faces were obviously filled with surprise when they saw her.
Although he knew that Lou Keqing should be able to handle it, Qiao Song also felt that the roller coaster was far more dangerous than the games that the previous players had encountered. But the strange thing was -
Why was Jin Jiaqi so disappointed when she first discovered Lou Keqing?
While the delivery guy was worried about Lou Keqing, Jin Jiaqi's expression seemed more like she was disappointed that this was not the person she was looking for.
Who is she looking for?
Is this Tang Xiaoxiao?
Qiao Song guessed the answer almost instantly.
Perhaps realizing that Qiao Song was also here, Jin Jiaqi quickly controlled her facial expression and took the initiative to speak: "Why don't we also try out the rules of the roller coaster to see if we can help."
However, she said in advance that she would stay, saying that she needed to operate the trash can. The others discussed for a while and finally decided that Qiao Song and the delivery boy would go.
Jin Jiaqi still contributed a few bamboo dragonflies.
"This prop is disposable and can only be used for ten minutes. Also, the roller coaster might be a bit unstable at this height, and it's easy to break when the wind is strong. If you bring her down, you have to do it quickly."
The delivery boy, who had already taken delivery from the old man once, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I have experience."
Jin Jiaqi looked at Qiao Song and tried to control her expression: "Be safe, we will wait for you to come back."
Qiao Song deliberately disgusted her: "Don't worry, don't you know me? I will definitely return safely, don't worry about me."
The tone almost made Jin Jiaqi lose control.
After Qiao Song and the delivery boy walked away, she took out her cell phone again.
Jin Jiaqi: How long will it take you?! I have already accepted half of the players here, and I haven’t found the one I want yet!
Yu: Don't worry, my skills are not strong enough to track a specific person in the whole map, and it takes time to start the machine. I will go to the border to explore and see the situation of other teams. We can't take the coins we need from our teammates. It's really ironic that we have to follow the friendly immunity system when we are about to start the machine.
Yu: You have been so calculating towards others, yet you still want to spare her life. Boss Jin, you are such a contradictory guy.
Jin Jiaqi frowned and continued typing: Shut up, you have sold all your partners, what qualifications do you have to say anything about me? Also, don't worry about your brother? Didn't you come in for him?
Yu: He was very lucky and escaped on his own. He just contacted me. I won’t say more. I’m at the border now and may meet other teams.
Yu: Also, I didn't come in for him, I came in for the tattoos on his body. Don't test me. I won't break my promise about the reward. When I get the map, I'll send it to you. After all, that place is not as good as Zootopia. Even if there are people stabbing each other, one more person is better than me going alone.
Jin Jiaqi looked at the last message sent by that person with a slightly gloomy expression.
Zootopia...
If she doesn't get what she wants this time, she will be forced to go to Zootopia, and it will be a question whether she can come back as a human being.
No, I must get that thing this time.
It's not like she wants to kill anyone, she can do it.
Putting down the phone, Jin Jiaqi opened the lid of the trash can and looked at the roller coaster slowly moving in the sky, not knowing what she was thinking.
Mr. Chai saw that she was sending messages on her mobile phone, but he didn't ask anything.
The old man touched his chin and muttered, "I'm old. I find this thing scary just by looking at it. I can't stand this kind of stimulation." This is also the reason why he did not take the initiative to sign up to help.
It is indeed very exciting, especially with the player's current size.
Lou Keqing's current level of adrenaline secretion is comparable to the first time she completed a high-altitude tightrope walking performance without insurance.
She was only fifteen years old at the time and had been practicing for ten years. She would never forget that feeling.
And now Lou Keqing was actually trembling slightly because of the wind flowing through her palms. She was not feeling scared, but rather had a sense of excitement of reunion after a long separation.
In fact, she had already experienced a round of roller coaster before.
At that time, in addition to the screams of the tourists in the roller coaster, what she could hear was more of a strange ringing sound, which was why she chose to stay even though she could have escaped.
There is a high-end prop blind box hidden in the roller coaster area. She has never seen a box of that color before, so it may not be a prop, but it is definitely an important item.
The box is at the top of the spiral tunnel. Lou Keqing has encountered it twice. Every time the roller coaster passes through the top of the spiral tunnel, the hole will make a sound when blown by the wind.
Then the box will shake rapidly, as if saying, "Catch me quickly."
The difference between Lou Keqing and other players is that she knows that the things in the box are within her reach, just like she knows that the game loaded her into the roller coaster area as a level tailor-made for her.
"It's so rare to come across a game that suits me so well. Even if I have to play a few more rounds, I must get that thing."
She found a good position at the front of the car and waited for the front buckle to pop out.
Unlike what Grandpa Chai and the others had guessed before, when the player is placed on the front of the car as a villain, there is actually a safety device, but it will only pop out when driving, and the player will be locked on it afterwards, and cannot escape even if he wants to.
Rather than being an insurance policy, it is more like trapping the players at the front of the car, allowing all the giants riding the roller coaster to discover that there is a locked little man here.
But Lou Keqing won't have such worries.
The roller coaster begins to climb. This process is relatively slow and is also the quietest preparation stage.
Lou Keqing even heard a couple discussing her on the roller coaster.
"Honey, is that the little guy that's popular in WeChat Moments recently? I think I saw a friend posting it."
"It should be. This one is in pretty good condition. Hey, what is she doing? Huh? She opened the safety buckle? Huh? No, how did she get out!??"
Once the roller coaster started, Lou Keqing had a fixed seat like the other tourists, but like a mascot, she was "tied" to the front of the car for display.
In the first round, she wanted to observe the situation and didn't take any risks. Now, it's her time to show her skills.
If you want to get the fixed props when the roller coaster passes that corner, you must get off the car.
Lou Keqing actually has no way to open the safety lock, but she has a special physical skill.
[Special skills shared by fellow circus members: Bone shrinking]
[Friends in an acrobatic troupe always teach each other some tricks. If there is a mistake in the performance one day, at least there is a substitute (laughs)]
[After this skill is activated, you can temporarily acquire the skills of any member of the circus you are in. The effect can only be maintained at about 30~80% of the original version. The effect of use is determined by the relationship with your companions. So, for this skill, work hard to make friends in the troupe! ]
Fortunately, Lou Keqing has a good relationship with the little girl who can fold herself into a towel.
She easily dislocated several of her joints, unfastened the locks on her shoulders, and crawled out like a boneless snake.
The mouse-sized player stood up from the front of the roller coaster in front of many giants when the roller coaster reached the highest point and was about to sprint down.
She needs to find a good location in advance so that she can start later.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was suddenly a familiar voice in the sky, faintly passing through the wind and reaching my ears.
"Lou-Ke-Qing-"
Lou Keqing, who was still warming up, looked up from the roller coaster that was about to run at high speed, and suddenly saw two guys flying over like swifts and trying to stop the roller coaster.
Um?
Um? ? ? ?
She first stared at the yellow helmet, then at Qiao Song next to him.
What are these two people doing? They are chasing the roller coaster with flying props. Are they trying to kill themselves?!
The delivery guy was also wondering what this player was doing. She actually stood up from the roller coaster. Was she trying to kill herself?
Qiao Song watched Lou Keqing's entire escape process and seemed to understand what her task was at this level.
Probably, she had to make sure she didn't get thrown out of the roller coaster while getting off her seat and escaping the subsequent pursuit of the giant passenger.
Qiao Song had already noticed that there were several tourists in the back row, using the zoom function of their mobile phones to take pictures of Lou Keqing. They probably had never seen a little man with such incredible physical fitness.
Some of these giants pointed their cameras at Qiao Song.
"Wow, there are two flying ones here." The giant even used the front camera and turned the phone upside down to take pictures of himself.
"Family members, I encountered several little people while riding the roller coaster today. Look, they are still flying in the sky." The giant who took a video to record his life while riding a roller coaster is so down-to-earth.
Soon, the roaring roller coaster climbed over the top slope, quickly sprinted down and turned over several steep slopes.
The delivery guy next to him was stunned: "No, this is a roller coaster, and they are still taking pictures and videos with their phones."
Qiao Song and the delivery guy were not flying very fast, and they did not get too close to the roller coaster. After all, this thing could be considered a high-speed train on a deformable track.
If they were accidentally scratched, they would probably end up like being hit by a car.
"It's so fast, our bamboo dragonfly can't deliver it."
Qiao Song was very sure that he and Lou Keqing had just exchanged glances and the other party had noticed them.
It seems that the little girl is capable of leaving the roller coaster, so why doesn't she choose to get rid of this game?
Are you waiting for something, or are you staying here to plan for something else?
When Qiao Song and the delivery boy first appeared, Lou Keqing knew that they were here to rescue her or help her, so what she was about to do now had more guarantees.
Lou Keqing originally planned to take the risk of lassoing herself with a rope, and when passing the intersection to grab the props, she would just grab the box first, then turn around and return to the front of the car and sit safely.
In this way, when the roller coaster is about to stop next time, the giants are still trapped in the chairs. She can use the same trick to remove the joints, and run away with the blind box before the roller coaster stops completely.
But if she heard correctly, she seemed to have heard the word "fly" or something like that.
Qiao Qiao and the delivery guy in the yellow vest were both flying in the sky. They should be here to give her flying props.
That’s it, she can get off the bus early!
Under the gazes of Qiao Song and the delivery boy, Lou Keqing leaped up like a black swan, and at a turning point on the roller coaster, suddenly jumped onto the top of a luminous passage that the roller coaster passed through.
In such an extreme environment, she ran a few steps on the pipe, quickly found her balance, and grabbed a box hanging on a hollow ring.
Every time the roller coaster passed by, the hollow ring would make a whistling sound. It was when Lou Keqing heard this sound that she noticed the box.
When she just jumped out of the car, the delivery guy was almost scared to death, but Qiao Song steadied the bamboo helicopter above his head and quickly went over to pick her up.
This lightning-fast reaction speed is like folding a paper airplane with a piece of paper and then putting on a parachute while bungee jumping.
After falling from the pipe, she caught the bamboo helicopter given by Qiao Song.
To some extent, Lou Keqing's heart is terrifyingly strong.
A bamboo dragonfly can only carry one person. Even if Qiao Song and the delivery boy go to catch Lou Keqing, the most likely scenario is that all three of them will fall.
Fortunately, Lou Keqing was a high-wire walker by training, so she quickly regained her balance. Before falling out of control, she placed the bamboo helicopter on her head and quickly activated this prop, which she was using for the first time.
When she flew up again, the delivery guy was the first to breathe a sigh of relief, as if he was the one who almost fell to death.
"You scared me to death. You are so brave."
Lou Keqing held the bamboo dragonfly on top of her head with one hand and held the box in her arms with the other hand, grinning foolishly: "Hehe, this is nothing. I once walked on a tightrope between two buildings with my master."
At that time, there were TV stations broadcasting live, but there were safety ropes and safety nets underneath.
The infinite flow world is more exciting than walking on a tightrope without insurance in the real world.
The car was still turning on the twisted frame of the three-dimensional roller coaster behind them. Now that they had picked up the person, it was time to return to their trash can base.
The safe return of the three was expected, and the system prompt in her ear, [Ding - Warm reminder, the current number of people who escaped is 7/10], did not cause any other emotional changes in Jin Jiaqi.
But Lou Keqing's unexpected gain made her palm holding the phone begin to sweat slightly.
She was even a little nervous. She kept looking at the box in Lou Keqing's arms and prayed silently that it was not that thing.
Qiao Song noticed her abnormality and frowned slightly.
Soon, after Lou Keqing entered the trash can and marveled at the magic of this thing, she prepared to open the box.
"My family, although I escaped a little late, I did get something good this time! Clang clang clang! This box might contain clues to the game console!"
In this team game, in addition to the presence of all members, the most important thing is to find the teleporting game console.
Packed like this and placed in such a stimulating environment, it is obviously a very special item.
Full of anticipation and anxiety, Lou Keqing slowly opened the box under the gaze of several teammates. There were no special effects and no system prompts. She only saw a special card in this box that was not easy to obtain.
It is neither a special item nor a game console.
“Why a card?”
It was still a strange metal card that was pure black with a slight reddish tint.
Lou Keqing felt an inexplicable sense of disappointment and turned the card over. There was only one line of words on it.
[Soul Vending Machine·Skill Reversal Decomposer·Specialized Card (Note: Only used for startup)]
Jin Jiaqi's face turned slightly pale. She didn't dare to move. She put her hands behind her back and quickly tapped the screen. It was the message she had edited before when she had a bad premonition.
She decisively sent a message to the jade carver.
Jin Jiaqi: Hurry up and speed up the positioning to find the person I want! They are about to discover the truth about the team game!
