Chapter 31 Fantasy Amusement Park (13)
"Then you choose a number." Su Yue looked at the countdown screen in the upper right corner and said in a gentle tone, "A little faster."
Even if the statue of Cupid really fell down, Su Yue was confident that he would not die.
After all, this was only a thousand-point copy. At most, he could use his divine power to protect himself and trigger the alarm, thus attracting his ex-boyfriend.
But if the tester on the opposite side died, he would be really dead, so Su Yue tried his best to comfort him, hoping that he would not seek death.
But the other party's emotions were obviously very unstable. From failing to please the seeker to being designated by the seeker to be the last one left, his mentality must have collapsed, and now he is basically on the verge of collapse.
Of the two roses on the top shelf, the one that looked relatively safe was number 4, followed by number 13. The tester stared at the two roses for a long time, pondering. With only ten seconds remaining on the countdown, he finally said, "I'll choose number 4."
"Okay." Su Yue said, time did not allow them to delay any longer, "I'm number 13 and you're number 4, I'll count down to three and we'll do it together, come on, 3, 2, 1——"
Su Yue pressed the button for Rose No. 13, and the pointer in the upper right corner stopped at the countdown of two seconds.
He heard the creaking sound of the rose being pulled out of the statue at a constant speed, and at the same time he looked at the tester opposite him.
The other person's finger was hovering a few centimeters away from the screen, and he could click the button with just a touch. He didn't look at Su Yue, nor did he show any joy of a successful trick. He stared at the screen with an extremely struggling expression on his face, as if he was still struggling until the last second.
"Are you crazy?" Zhao Shuo's angry roar was heard.
Su Yue: "..."
I was tricked.
As expected, the tester still did not press the buttons as he was told.
.
Forget it, it was expected. Su Yue was too lazy to care about it anymore. Anyway, he had ways to protect himself.
At the feet of the Cupid statue, the rose has begun to be pulled out. When the rose is pulled out, the countdown screen will temporarily stop until it is confirmed that the rose has been completely pulled out, and then the countdown will continue.
With a heavy bang, the statue slowly fell to the ground, and gray powder fell down. In the darkness, the powder looked like lime rain after a volcanic eruption.
Su Yue looked up at the falling powder and took a step back to prevent it from falling on his hair and face. He mobilized his divine power and protected himself like armor.
Players can also buy similar props in the rest area. Su Yue's divine power should be comparable to the most expensive one. When the statue falls down, he will be able to withstand it, but the earring will probably call the police.
But you can report it or not. First of all, you have to make sure you can finish the game alive as much as possible. You haven't even seen any bugs yet. With work at hand, Su Yue can put aside the awkward feeling of not wanting to see his ex.
I could feel a thin layer of divine power wrapped around the surface of my skin. Rose No. 13 was finally completely pulled out, and the Cupid statue slumped down.
There was a cracking sound at the junction of the angel's toes and the second rose, and plaster fragments fell to the ground with a crackling sound. Half of Cupid's toes shattered under the huge pressure. The statue of Cupid swayed violently to the right and then to the left, and there was a cry of surprise from the safe zone.
Su Yue narrowed his eyes and looked at Cupid in front of him, alert to the situation and ready to deal with sudden collapse at any time.
But after several dangerous shakes, the Cupid statue suddenly stopped.
The half-collapsed toe created a new plane, on which the Cupid statue found a new balance.
It kept swinging, swinging, like a perpetual pendulum, but it just swayed ever so slightly and finally stopped at the second rose.
"The test was successful, please leave, tester," the broadcast said.
Su Yue was stunned.
The test actually passed?
On the other side, on the blue team’s platform, the last remaining tester suddenly looked as pale as death.
.
A line of red light opened, and Su Yue didn't even have time to walk out. He wanted to save the person opposite him, but the broadcast didn't give him any chance at all.
The countdown screen ticked away at a much faster rate than before, and began counting down again.
- Ask the tester to select the button.
3.
2.
1.
The tester on the blue platform could clearly see the huge, blood-red number and hear the countdown broadcast. He was shaking violently.
If only he had listened to Su Yue, at least he would have had a chance to survive. If only he had chosen this rose, Su Yue would have died for him. But now it was too late to say anything.
At the last second, he seemed to finally react and wanted to press the button, but as soon as his finger touched the screen, the broadcast was accompanied by a long alarm, and the countdown reached "0".
"If you fail to make a selection within the deadline, your tester qualification will be revoked."
This sentence finally woke the tester up. He suddenly looked at Su Yue, who was still standing in the red grating, his eyes bloodshot. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "You lied to me!"
Su Yue hadn't lied to him; it was he who didn't trust Su Yue. Su Yue, who had been tricked into pressing the rose first, was actually lucky enough to pass the safety test under such precarious conditions. It felt like fate.
What did the tester not understand? If he didn't understand, he wouldn't have deliberately not pressed the button, hoping that Su Yue would knock down the Cupid statue so that he could get off the stage safely.
But now all his plans have failed. Fear and despair have forced him to point all the blame at Su Yue. He cursed like a madman, shouting at the top of his lungs all the words he could think of, accusing Su Yue of being a liar, a sophist, and a fraud.
"You fucking lied to me! Even if I were a ghost..."
There was a sharp cry, and the tester's words stopped abruptly.
The grating on the blue platform suddenly made a "buzzing" sound, and then the intervals between the blue light strips suddenly closed. The tester was submerged in the light, and the entire platform seemed to have turned into a closed blue container.
Soon the light strips turned on again, and the platform was empty.
It seemed as if the tester had never appeared in this room.
Testers in Group D were disqualified for not selecting the button within the deadline.
A draught of wind blew through the huge hall.
The huge Cupid statue seemed to finally give up, swayed left and right twice, and crashed down towards the blue side's platform.
.
Su Yue stepped down from the platform immediately. Even though he was not facing the direction where the statue was collapsing, the strong wind blowing in his face still gave him a strong sense of oppression.
He withdrew the divine power that protected him, jumped back lightly, and when he landed on the ground, he felt someone protectively hold his shoulders, and then lead him back into the safe zone.
The roar of the statue was so loud that the huge statue, more than five meters high, fell to the ground, shaking as if the whole house was about to collapse.
When Su Yue was being pulled into the safe zone by Cang Zhi, he heard the other party ask, "Are you okay?"
Perhaps the puppet's words were merely "concerns that fit the current context," but that didn't stop Su Yue from interpreting them as more than just a bunch of things, like "Are you okay with being blamed for this?" and "Are you okay with this?"
Although thinking this way seems self-indulgent and a bit pathetic, it is just the right comfort for Su Yue at the moment, and he inexplicably feels that Cang Zhi is a bit handsome.
So he smiled and said to Cang Zhi, "I'm fine."
In fact, I couldn't hear it clearly because the sound of the collapse was too loud and covered up everything else.
"Safety test failed!" Suddenly, a shrill scream came from the radio again. This sound instantly surpassed all other sounds and became the main force in the room.
The voice was instantly recognizable as that of the neurotic amusement park manager.
"Oh my god! The safety test failed again! Thankfully, not too many testers died, but this is still... unacceptable!" the amusement park manager shouted angrily. "Is there no equipment in this amusement park that can safely pass the test? Is there no reliable tester? Return to the staff dormitory immediately! Prepare to be punished!"
.
More than ten minutes later, the testers gathered in the dormitory area. Once they arrived at the dormitory area, they were separated into teams. Now there were no ABCD groups, only the red group and the blue group, in two rooms respectively.
Su Yue and the others waited for a while, and then the manager pushed the door open and walked in.
He held a loudspeaker in his left hand and a work form in his right hand. This time, the title of the form became "Cupid's Hut" with a striking red cross on it.
"You guys disappoint me!" the manager said. "You failed the safety test again! Your victory led to the failure of the safety test! One of the team members needs to be punished!"
Su Yue wondered what kind of logic this was, but it was exactly what he wanted.
Because he has discovered that the background story of the amusement park is in the warehouses responsible for punishment, and the safety tests outside are nothing but death traps.
So Su Yue naturally came out again to accept punishment, and Cang Zhi also asked to go together, just like yesterday.
The amusement park manager stared at the two of them for a moment, then waved his hand. "I was supposed to go alone, but I'm too busy at work to argue with you. You two should go together!"
——
Su Yue and Cang Zhi once again came to the old warehouse. It was noon when they arrived at the warehouse. They found that even at the brightest time of the day, the warehouse was quite dark. Ivy and various vines covered the walls, and there were tall trees, so the sunlight could hardly penetrate.
The deputy manager in charge of the warehouse did not stand outside the door this time. He seemed to be a little afraid of the sunlight. When he saw Su Yue and Cang Zhi, he frowned in extreme distress.
Yesterday, he was the one who firmly said that only one person could enter the warehouse, but Su Yue held Cang Zhi tightly and refused to let go. The deputy manager didn't want to get entangled with the love-brained person, so he let them both in.
This time, upon seeing Su Yue and Cang Zhi, the deputy manager's face immediately turned bitter: "Are you two going to be together again?"
Su Yue was just about to hug Cang Zhi's arm and pretend to be weak like he did yesterday, but Cang Zhi had already taken a step ahead of him and nodded righteously: "Yes, I can't do it without him."
Su Yue: "..."
No, have you also learned to steal the lines?
.
The deputy manager looked reluctant, but he really didn't want to get entangled with a couple in love. He sighed miserably and casually drew another card: "Okay, you are in Warehouse 521 today, go down."
He suddenly took another look at the warehouse number, his eyes rolled, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly in a strange way: "Warehouse 521, then you two better be careful, that warehouse is really haunted."
