Chapter 60 Dream Amusement Park (42)
"I understand." Su Yue said.
"The key isn't what the director's dream is," Su Yue said. "The key is who is the real 'director' in this story."
Wedding photos hang on the wall.
This is the only scene in all the video footage where both a boy and a girl show their faces at the same time.
The girl was wearing a very beautiful wedding dress, the same one that had appeared in Cupid's haunted house, in the video at the warehouse, and on the ghost bride last night.
The veil obscured her face, making it look as hazy as the moon hiding behind clouds, but one could still make out her pure and beautiful smile and her pair of gentle almond-shaped eyes.
If you look closely at the boy's suit, you will find that it is a bit too simple compared to the girl's wedding dress, but the girl is holding his arm, so he is also smiling at the camera.
They both have almost identical eyes, even the curve of the drooping corners is exactly the same.
Su Yue originally thought that they looked like a couple.
.
The other three people didn't understand at first, but when they followed Su Yue's gaze to the photo and saw the extremely similar looks of the "newlyweds", they suddenly realized.
"You mean." Zhao Shuo took a deep breath and lowered his voice in an instant to the point that the three of them could hardly hear it.
He pointed at the closed door of the principal's office and asked, "Is the person inside actually the 'older brother' in the story?"
"Then where is the real principal?" Su Chen widened his eyes.
Before I knew there was a "brother" in the story, the entire main plot seemed confusing and something was missing.
The appearance of the character "Brother" is like the last lock on a string of beads. Only after it is put on can the whole chain be tied together.
The resemblance between husband and wife is actually due to blood relationship. The bride's wedding dress looks too gorgeous because what the brother is wearing is not a groom's suit, so it naturally cannot steal the show.
But he deliberately cut out a picture that looked like a wedding photo and posted it outside the office. No matter who saw it, they would think they were a newlywed couple. He was deliberately guiding them in this way.
This approach seems very twisted, so twisted that it's terrifying.
As for the whereabouts of the real principal.
Su Yue already had a guess, but he couldn't say it without any evidence.
However, after seeing the bride last night and feeling her overwhelming sadness, his guess was basically confirmed.
"The bride didn't become a vengeful ghost because she and her groom loved each other until death, a love that transcended all other emotions," Su Yue said. "So she felt no hatred, only the sorrow of unrequited love. Do you agree with this?"
Several people nodded.
"Since they love each other, then while she loves the groom, the groom also loves her until death."
"Love is not just the sweet indulgence and lingering affection when you get it."
"Love is the pain of wanting but not getting it, and the madness of longing."
Su Yue's eyes were bright when he said this, and it was hard to tell whether he was analyzing the NPC or expressing some other emotions.
"Who is the second person we have seen here who was in so much pain that he went crazy?" Su Yue asked.
At that moment, Cang Zhi's mind was of sitting in an ascending elevator, looking at the dazzling rising and falling flames below, and hearing heart-wrenching screams in his ears.
"The ghost in the warehouse." Cang Zhi replied.
Su Yue nodded.
"So what should we do now?" Zhao Shuo asked.
Su Yue glanced at the tightly closed door of the "Director's Office" again, smiled, and replied, "Go meet the Director and fulfill his dream."
——
Su Yue knocked on the principal's office door. A gentle voice soon came from inside: "Come in."
When he pushed the door open, he had already displayed a gentle demeanor that made people feel like spring breeze, while Cang Zhi was as silent as ever, making it impossible to tell what his mood was.
Zhao Shuo and Su Chen originally thought that they were going to swagger in and cause trouble, but when they saw this situation, they quickly switched their status and became the silent followers of the boss and Brother Cang.
The headmaster sat behind his desk, dressed in a suit and tie, looking handsome and well-dressed as usual.
He stood up when he saw Su Yue enter the room. Seeing so many people, he raised his eyebrows in surprise, smiled and asked, "Are all the testers here today?"
"Yes." Su Yue didn't laugh, "They all want to come and meet the director."
The headmaster's smile became even more friendly. He opened a drawer and prepared to take out the stickers he had put on Su Yue and Cang Zhi's chests last time: "Then I will present you with the awards for outstanding testers..."
"That's not necessary." Su Yue raised his hand to refuse.
The headmaster was stunned for a moment, his eyes became extremely vicious in that instant, but it was only for a very brief moment before he returned to his normal expression.
Su Yue acted as if he hadn't noticed at all and continued in a very gentle tone, "Because the Castle Hotel still has one more day of safety testing tonight, we have to wait until everything is completed before we can accept the award with peace of mind."
"I see." The director's expression softened. "It's an honor to have testers like you. What can I do for you?"
Su Yue replied, "I would like to apply for permission to go to the warehouse."
Unexpectedly, this time the director said, "I can't give you permission. There was a fire in the warehouse yesterday, and I am responsible for the safety of my employees."
People die every day during the safety tests under the director's supervision, but now he says that he is responsible for the safety of the employees. However, Su Yue does not seem to find it ironic at all. Instead, he tries to convince the director seriously.
Unfortunately, nothing worked. Finally, the headmaster sighed deeply and said, "I really can't agree to your request this time. I hope you understand. My wife...died in a fire. Thinking back on it still causes me extreme pain. I don't want to see the same tragedy happen again."
Su Yue observed the director's slightly trembling hands, then nodded in understanding: "I understand your thoughts, I'm sorry."
After a moment's thought, he added, "In that case, can I apply for a coupon for a one-time visit to any of the facilities on the map? As a tester, there are still many rides here that I haven't tried yet."
"That's no problem. You can have fun as much as you want." The director readily agreed and handed them a thick stack of experience coupons, at least dozens of them. He also reminded them kindly, "Be sure to pay attention to safety when you go. The park opens tomorrow. I hope you can join me to witness its opening."
"Okay." Su Yue suddenly asked, "Witnessing the opening of the amusement park together, is this your wish?"
The headmaster was stunned: "Yes, this is my wish."
Su Yue smiled and made an "OK" gesture to the director: "Don't worry, we will do our best to fulfill your wish. Bye."
The headmaster had no idea what was going on and smiled politely in confusion as he sent the four people out.
——
"There's definitely something wrong with this guy, right?" Zhao Shuo said as soon as he got downstairs. "He's my brother, and that idiot in the warehouse is the real director, right? He's feeling guilty, so he won't let us go down, right?"
"I agree with you, but how are we going to get there now?" Su Chen asked. "If he doesn't allow us to go to the warehouse, we can't just force our way in."
"Who said he didn't allow it?" Su Yue raised the experience coupon in his hand, "Didn't he give us tickets?"
Su Chen was stunned. "But this is a ticket to experience the amusement facilities, not the warehouse."
Su Yue kindly corrected her, "It's a ticket for one visit to 'any facility in the park shown on the map.'"
Su Chen didn't quite understand yet, and opened the map he carried with him in a daze. When he noticed the group of small castle-like buildings without names in the corner of the park on the map, his eyes lit up.
"I see! The warehouse is also a facility on the map, right?"
Su Yue nodded. "If he was a fake director, he probably wouldn't be this familiar with the park, much less aware that an unnamed building would be drawn on the map. This also proves that he's not the director, because the director is so heartbroken about this park that he even personally handles something as small as a map."
Cang Zhi applauded: "Excellent, you are so smart."
Su Yue: "..."
Su Yue said expressionlessly: "You go stand at the end of the line."
.
Su Yue, Zhao Shuo, Su Chen, and Cang Zhi, who followed at the end with a well-behaved look, went to the warehouse again. This time, they found something very wrong. The staff were busy and chattering about, carrying planks, nails and hammers, as if they were working on some major project.
The deputy manager in charge of the warehouse was standing at a table giving orders. As he was talking, he saw Su Yue. The sad memories of being fed dog food came to his mind and his expression froze.
"What are you doing here again? Get out! Get out!" The deputy manager waved his hand and started to drive people away.
"We are here to help organize the warehouse," said Su Yue.
"No need to help with the cleanup!" The deputy manager continued waving his hands quickly. "The amusement park opens tomorrow! We're completely sealing off the warehouse today. By the time the amusement park opens, this warehouse will be completely sealed! No one will ask you to clean it up!"
"But we have permission to enter the warehouse." Su Yue said, taking out a pass issued by the director, which allowed them to visit any facility on the park map once. "Would you like to verify it?"
In the Fantasy Amusement Park game copy, you cannot explore any scene without the NPC's permission, so getting entry permission is a must.
The deputy manager didn't take Su Yue's words seriously at first and had a smug look on his face, but after Su Yue handed him the pass, the deputy manager was speechless.
He stared with his earthy yellow eyes, his eyeballs rolling back and forth several times, trying to find a flaw in the pass, but failed. He could only angrily reach into the lottery box, "snap" and pull out a piece of paper, and the deputy manager opened it.
The signature paper is blank.
.
The deputy manager heaved a sigh of relief, and proudly flashed a blank piece of paper in front of Su Yue. "You didn't draw a number for the warehouse! Okay, do you want to go down? If you do, take the elevator. But you can't enter the warehouse without the corresponding number, as you should know!"
"Yeah, I know." Su Yue said, calmly taking out a thick stack of papers from his pocket.
He tore off a piece from the top and slapped it in front of the stunned deputy manager. It was another trial voucher.
Su Yue said casually: "Come on, draw again."
