Chapter 24: Dream Amusement Park (6) 2nd Update
I looked at the alarm clock and there were more than 40 minutes left.
If they gave up on organizing the little angel statues, they would have quite a bit of free time. Su Yue and Cang Zhi split up and investigated other corners of the warehouse.
After the door was closed, it seemed like it was locked from the outside and they couldn't open it from inside the warehouse.
It looks like there's an hour limit before the door opens.
In the warehouse, in addition to these more than 200 little angel statues, there are also some waste cardboard boxes behind the shelves.
It should be used to transport the angel statue. In addition to packing materials such as tape and plastic rope, the cardboard box also contains a small TV. It is a very, very old model, a small black machine with a square shape. Compared with the flat style that is popular nowadays, it is fat.
Considering the style and modernity of the amusement park's rides, this small TV would seem completely outdated even within the context of the game's era.
The TV was not plugged in and was covered in dust. There was no electrical plug in the room. Su Yue tried to turn on the TV, but as expected, there was no response.
Cang Zhi squatted beside the little angel statue and looked through it, while Su Yue continued to look at the black leather notebook. He found that behind the design drawings, on the last few pages of the notebook, there were densely packed manuscripts. These manuscripts confirmed that the little angel statue was indeed an angel statue for the "Cupid's Hut", because the manuscripts contained the design concept, gameplay, background settings and other contents of this facility, as well as records similar to work logs.
Most of the work logs simply record the changes in the design concept of "Cupid's Hut". Su Yue flipped through them quickly and finally found some content related to the recorder himself.
“May 5th, sunny.
Because the angel statue is the most core facility of the entire cabin in the concept map, it must be made perfect, with the pure and flawless temperament of an angel, and also create a somewhat terrifying atmosphere.
I know this request is exaggerated, and my sister also advised me not to be so demanding. We even had a fight because I was too strict with the designer. I know my sister doesn't like me being harsh, but this is our dream, to build the best amusement park."
“May 6th, light rain.
We added money to the design because it went through so many revisions. Thank you all for your hard work, and I hope the park opens successfully.”
Cangzhi walked to Suyue and looked at the records with him.
"This should be a log left by the amusement park director. It should be before all the rides were completed." Su Yue said, "Now the safety test has begun. In other words, the amusement park facilities have been fully built, but now the park has become haunted."
Cang Zhi nodded: "Accidents will happen in all safety tests, and all amusement facilities have traps that can kill people."
"I originally thought this place was haunted because it had been abandoned for too long and fell into disrepair. Places like theme parks are prone to supernatural events," said Su Yue.
"But now it seems that the amusement park director is very concerned about this dream amusement park. So how come haunted incidents still occur?"
Just as Su Yue finished speaking, the alarm clock suddenly rang sharply and piercingly. The tone of the alarm clock turned out to be the sound of wailing. It suddenly sounded in the dark small warehouse underground, and the effect was very terrifying.
Su Yue shuddered, and Cangzhi quickly reached out and turned off the alarm.
Cangzhi has always been so considerate. Even though Su Yue knew that an intelligent doll would do so by default, he still felt very touched when he was cared for. He curved his eyes and smiled at Cangzhi.
Cang Zhi was stunned for a moment, quickly said "It's okay", and turned away as if embarrassed.
An inexplicable, profoundly quiet atmosphere suddenly filled the warehouse. Small particles of dust drifted quietly in the light, and amidst the chaos, there was a sense of tranquility.
Su Yue glanced at Cang Zhi, feeling a little subtle, just like the note paper that was being blown by an unknown draft and was shaking gently.
Before I could say more or think more, I heard the clanging sound of an elevator descending outside, followed by hurried footsteps.
Then, the warehouse door was pushed open with a clang, and a beam of flashlight shone in. The light inside the warehouse was dim, and the flashlight beam was quite dazzling in this situation. Su Yue slightly shielded his eyes with his hands before adapting to the light, and then he saw that the person holding the flashlight was the deputy manager in charge of the warehouse.
"How's the warehouse being organized?" the deputy manager asked as he had already stepped into the warehouse. His eyes were still darting around very flexibly until he saw the little angel statues all over the floor looking up at him, and his expression froze.
"You haven't tidied up at all?!" the deputy manager asked sharply.
Su·Slacker·Yue and Cang·Slacker·Zhi nodded in unison.
Deputy Manager: “…”
The deputy manager's eyes rolled again, and when he saw the archangel statue that had been knocked over by the door, his expression froze even more. "You actually knocked over the archangel statue?"
Su·Naughty Kid·Yue and Cang·Naughty Kid·Zhi nodded in unison.
Cang Zhi also very considerately reminded: "Because there is no sign on the door saying there are valuables behind it, there is nothing you can do if you knock it over."
Deputy Manager: “…”
The deputy manager looked like he needed oxygen. His expression was distorted as he covered his chest with one hand. He gasped for breath for a long time before saying, "How could you let things get to this point? Me, I want..."
The deputy manager originally wanted to punish them, but then he thought, what kind of punishment could he give?
It's nothing more than continuing to punish them by making them organize the warehouse.
That would just be another unlucky warehouse.
The deputy manager leaned against the wall dejectedly. Su Yue asked, "Is our punishment over this time?"
This question finally calmed the deputy manager down, and he regained his fierce demeanor. "It's over! Go back to the staff dormitory quickly! Don't let me see you again!"
As the deputy manager was about to kick people out, Su Yue dodged his hand and noticed that Cang Zhi was also holding down the deputy manager's hand at the same time, not allowing him to touch Su Yue. But this was not the key point.
Su Yue asked, "Do you know the origins of the amusement park's director?"
When this question was asked, the deputy manager's face changed suddenly.
.
Originally, he was just furious and helpless, but when he heard this question, the deputy manager's expression suddenly became very excited, as if someone was choking him, and his eyeballs were about to bulge out.
That reaction was exactly like the expression on the other deputy manager's face when he found out that he had failed the safety test.
"I don't know!" The deputy manager's voice rose an octave, so sharp it almost sounded like a squeak. "Get out! Get out now!"
After that, no matter what Su Yue said, he only had two words: "I don't know" and "get out".
The warehouse was very small, and a deputy manager who screamed like crazy could cause great damage here. Su Yue and Cang Zhi had no choice but to leave quickly. Fortunately, the deputy manager did not follow them up the elevator.
Otherwise, if he had to listen to his screams the entire 5-minute elevator ride, Su Yue would definitely not be able to resist using his divine power to silence him, and then alert Supervisor Z.
.
When I returned to the ground from the underground warehouse, it was completely dark. There was no clock here and the time on my cell phone was messy and could not be used as a reference. I could only estimate that it should be after ten o'clock.
After staying underground for a long time, the air felt particularly fresh when he came out. Su Yue took a deep breath and felt much happier.
The deputy manager said that they would go back to the staff dormitory after the punishment was over, but the deputy manager who had just sent them here did not wait outside, so it seemed that he wanted them to go back by themselves.
"Let's walk around outside for a bit before going back." Su Yue said, "The atmosphere here is great, perfect for a walk together."
This was just Su Yue taking advantage of the puppet, but in reality, he was investigating. Su Yue was not going to let go of the chance to explore the map freely.
Cang Zhi glanced at Su Yue and said, "...Okay."
.
The two walked out of the warehouse and wandered around the amusement park according to the map, but they didn't gain anything.
There wasn't even the romantic walking atmosphere that Su Yue wanted to experience, the feeling of a young couple.
Because it was really late, and Cang Zhi was observing the surrounding situation very carefully.
Whether it was the landscape lights on the amusement facilities or the simplest lighting on the road, they were all turned off. The environment was completely dark and there were no staff.
The fences outside each amusement facility were locked shut, making it impossible to get in. I was lucky enough to be able to use the flashlight on my phone to barely identify where I was.
There aren't even any ghosts, so there's no excitement to be found.
"It seems there are no special clues at night." Su Yue said, "Let's go back."
"Okay." Cang Zhi said.
Just as I was about to leave, a light suddenly came on in a building not far away.
Strictly speaking, it was not a lamp, but a flame-like light burning in one of the window panes. Su Yue and the others could not see what was happening in the window pane. The window glass seemed to be covered with a layer of fog. They could only see the light jumping very violently, giving a ghostly feeling.
The ball of light jumped across several window panes and then went out with a "swish".
"What place is that?" Su Yue asked immediately.
Cang Zhi had already taken out a map and was comparing them. "The Princess Castle Hotel is a theme hotel provided by the amusement park for overnight guests. It has dreamy princess rooms and provides guests with exquisite fairytale princess dinner service."
The two men walked to the outside of the Castle Hotel. As expected, the hotel yard was surrounded by high iron fences. There was no way to get in, so they had to return to the dormitory area.
Upon entering the dormitory, I saw Zhao Shuo sitting on the steps outside the courtyard, anxiously waiting for Su Yue and the others to return, just like he did in the mountain village dungeon. Next to Zhao Shuo was the deputy manager of the dormitory, who was also standing there waiting.
When Zhao Shuo saw Su Yue and Cang Zhi come in, he jumped up immediately with a look of relief, even though he knew they would be fine. The deputy manager seemed very surprised.
"You're back?" the assistant manager said. "Great! We'll have enough manpower tomorrow. Go to bed early. We have new safety tests tomorrow morning."
Su Yue did not refute him, but asked the deputy manager: "Is there anyone doing security testing at the Castle Hotel?"
"No!" The deputy manager straightened his neck as if facing a great enemy when he heard the name of the Castle Hotel. "Of course there are no safety tests there! The problem was first caused there! Don't ask anymore, just go back to bed!"
It was another situation where he couldn't get any information. Su Yue was used to it. With Zhao Shuo in his left hand and Cang Zhi in his right hand, the three of them walked towards the dormitory building.
.
It was the first time for Su Yue and Cang Zhi to arrive at the dormitory building, but Zhao Shuo had already been there after dinner, so he led the way and walked in front.
Su Yue fell behind and had been thinking about the game plot since the beginning.
At present, the breakthrough point is quite obvious, which is the princess castle hotel with strange flames.
"Azhi." Su Yue poked Azhi's shoulder, "Let's find a chance to stay in that hotel for a night."
Zhao Shuo was shocked: Is this something I can listen to?
Cang Zhi coughed suddenly: "...Okay."
