Chapter 5: Clues about my sister The mirror reflects my distorted body...
"Well, please enjoy this unique monster dessert!"
The ice cream in front of her was in the shape of a bat. Under the moonlight, the silver shell had a metallic luster. She even saw a bit of arrogance in the ice cream.
Turning her head to look at the little balls of meat jumping happily beside her, Cecia fell into doubt——
Even though she completed every step of the production herself, could these seemingly unintelligent creatures really be made into such exquisite desserts?
Use a silver spoon to gently break the hard shell of the ice cream, and the aqua blue inner core will flow out like a trickle in the valley.
The outer shell is crispy and the inside melts in your mouth.
Such a cool color continuously radiated heat inside her body. Her body temperature continued to rise, and even hot steam began to continuously emerge from her head.
"Sister, sister...you're smoking!"
Chen Ye touched her arm tentatively, then drew back as if he had been electrocuted, even getting a blister on his fingertips.
Even so, she still looked calm, as if it was not her who turned into a "volcano".
"Miss, maybe you also need a monster dessert?"
Mr. White was unwilling to miss any opportunity to promote his products. He came close to Chen Ye and whispered, "If you choose a dessert that smells like air, it won't have such an exaggerated effect. I believe you will like it very much."
"No...I'll just forget it. Thank you for your kindness."
Facing its approach, Chen Ye shrank back, her eyes subconsciously falling on those energetic little meat balls - she didn't want to eat this kind of thing into her stomach.
Hearing this, Mr. White smacked his lips in dissatisfaction.
It thought for a moment, fumbled in the ice cream truck for a long time, and finally took out a small object in the shape of ice cream and shook it in front of the two people.
"I think this should be very important to you, right?"
The two fingers, which were two or three times thicker than those of an ordinary person, pinched the "little ice cream", which looked indescribably pitiful and funny.
"Stamps for other attractions are not as easy to get as here."
Seal? A seal from paradise?
She thought of the alarm when she approached the Octagonal House, which mentioned that "the tourist has not collected all five paradise stamps", so the alarm was triggered.
Since that is the core facility, it must be inextricably linked to the truth of this copy. They have no other clues now, so they must explore the Octagonal House.
In this case, collecting all five paradise stamps has indeed become her most urgent goal now.
"Please give me your seal first."
She reached out her hand for some, praising the other person's dessert, "I hope I can have another chance to taste such unique food."
Hearing the compliment, Mr. White hummed proudly a few times, and the high-pitched tone sounded like a live opera.
It did not force Chen Ye, but patiently guided Cecia: "My charming lady, please take out your ticket and have a look."
Under the dim light, she took out the crumpled ticket from her pocket and saw that among the several white circles on the back, two had different patterns printed on them.
One of them is very similar to the 'little ice cream' that Mr White is holding, while the other looks like a performing marionette.
"Hey, you've already been to a puppet show."
Mr. White's voice was filled with regret. "I thought this was the first amusement facility that the young lady visited."
Chen Ye next to her imitated her and took out her ticket, but on the back of her ticket, there was only a lonely puppet.
After the warning from the Octagonal House, Chen Ye also understood the importance of the seal.
Out of helplessness, she endured the physical discomfort and followed Mr. White through the process of making the monster dessert.
Since she chose air-flavored puffs, the finished product looked white and tender, very tempting.
But when he thought of the horrible raw materials, Chen Ye was still very resistant and almost forced himself to eat it.
Unexpectedly, not only did it not taste as strange as I had imagined, but it felt like I was chewing and swallowing air. There was no sense of reality in my mouth or stomach, as if it disappeared as soon as it entered my mouth.
At the same time, an ice cream stamp quietly appeared on the back of her ticket.
It seems that there is no need for the "stamping" procedure, and you can get the stamp as long as you pass the amusement facilities.
Like a puppet show, as long as she clears the level, both of them can get a stamp, and the ice cream truck must make and eat monster desserts separately-
So, it seems that the rides are divided into single-player and group rides?
Cecia was thoughtful.
After Chen Ye also ate the monster dessert, Mr. White kept looking at the two of them with a smile, his mouth full of sharp teeth almost reaching his ears.
"Now that both ladies have tasted the delicious desserts, it is time for me to tell you the clues about the paradise."
It bent its soft waist and approached Cecia mysteriously, like an ice cream cone that was about to melt. Then it deliberately lowered the tone that could sing a soprano.
“It saved many people, but destroyed many more.”
"What does this mean?" Cecilia demanded.
“That’s all I can say.”
Mr. White straightened up, trying to move the part that had been squeezed and fallen, trying to get back on it. "As for other things about the paradise, I have nothing to say."
“Perhaps you could check out another facility?”
Each facility will only give one clue...
Cecia narrowed her eyes and didn't argue any more. She stood up and prepared to leave, but she felt like she had forgotten something.
She ate the dessert, got the stamp, and didn't forget the ticket. It must be her illusion.
She turned around and took a big step forward, but an anxious voice came from behind her -
"Wait for me!"
Is anyone talking?
Her eyes scanned the scene behind her and landed on Mr. White.
“I didn’t make any sound.”
As if it knew what Cecia was thinking, it responded politely, "Perhaps, you still remember your companions?"
"Sister! I'm here!"
Seeing Cecilia's eyes sliding over her several times, but as if he couldn't see her, he never stopped. Chen Ye jumped up and down anxiously, and threw himself directly into Cecilia's arms.
This time, Cecilia finally noticed her.
Since they had eaten the monster dessert earlier, the 'volcano' effect on Cecia had already disappeared, but the side effects on Chen Ye had just taken effect -
Her presence became as thin as air. Even if Cecilia pressed close to her, she needed to concentrate her whole attention to be aware of her presence.
If you relax for a moment, you will immediately forget that there is a living person around you.
"Sir, you never told me there were such side effects."
Feeling extremely inconvenienced, Cecia turned around and found the culprit. Her eyes were cold, and she was still holding the part of the other person's body that had not had time to escape, like a silent question.
Looking at the body struggling in vain in her hands, Mr. White laughed dryly twice, and his two-meter-tall figure twisted uneasily.
"As for desserts, as long as they are delicious enough, they are qualified."
It tries to justify itself.
"As for these small supplements, they will not cause any problems to the customer's body. They will recover after a period of time. So..."
As she watched, Mr. White began to try to change the subject awkwardly.
"My dear kind lady, this is your first time to the park with your companions, right? Perhaps you need a detailed map of the park?"
Mr. White took out a tattered map from somewhere and handed it to Cecia with his bent arm.
"This was dropped by a cute little girl. If circumstances permit, I hope you can return the map to her after using it."
Taking the map, Cecia glanced at it quickly.
It does mark the locations of all the rides in the park, and it is much better for them to follow it than to figure it out on their own.
Moreover, some facilities on the map have red text next to them to explain:
Next to the puppet show was written "Red drink, don't drink it", next to the octagonal house was written "Brother is busy, can't go", and next to the ice cream truck was written only two words "delicious"...
The handwriting and wording look very childish, so the owner of this map should be quite young - wait, the "sister" mentioned in the background of the copy seems to be around this age too?
After putting the map away, she asked Mr. White, "Do you remember what the person who dropped the map looked like?"
"She was a very well-behaved little girl. I met her several times and she seemed to really like this park."
Seeing that the topic had been successfully changed, Mr. White was eager for her to ask a few more questions.
"When she first came, she seemed to be blind, and her brother fed her desserts one bite at a time. Later, her eyes suddenly got better, but she never saw her brother again. She often came here to play by herself."
"However, I haven't seen her since the child left the map here."
Blindness, sudden recovery, frequent trips to paradise alone… everything fits right!
The owner of this map is the "sister" mentioned in the background of the copy.
The truth behind cracking the copy finally had its first breakthrough. Cecilia didn't bother to argue with Mr. White anymore, and rushed to the nearest amusement facility with Chen Ye clinging to her.
The words "Brother is busy" are written on the octagonal house, which means that the brother is most likely there.
The brother is both the "I" in the background of the copy and the person who brought his sister to the paradise when she was blind. He must know something.
The appearance of this map emphasized the importance of the Octagonal House, and she had to go and find out.
According to the map, the Octagonal House is located in the northwest corner of the park and the ice cream truck is to its south, so the closest ride to them now is the mirror maze in the southwest.
Along the way, Chen Ye didn't dare to leave Cecia for even a step, for fear of being left alone on the road.
Perhaps thanks to this faint sense of existence, they did not encounter eyeless people or other monsters this time, and successfully reached the black building marked "Mirror Maze".
Cecia didn't stay for too long, just adjusted her breathing a little, and then walked in with Chen Ye -
In the huge room, a lone mirror reflected her distorted figure.
