Chapter 121 This isn't Xu Yi at all. ...
Xu Yi withdrew her gaze. Not to mention that Zhao Chang had no sense of propriety at all, even if he stripped naked and ran around naked here, it would have nothing to do with her.
At most, she would just join the others and watch the excitement.
Of course, it would be even better if he could post it on WeChat Moments. Zhao Chang said he had a fiancée, but he showed no restraint.
She, Zhao Chang's "fiancée" who was being used as a shield, also found it disgusting.
If he really goes streaking, Xu Yi has to record it and post it on her WeChat Moments.
People in the same circle have mutual friends, so they have to make Zhao Chang lose face.
Just then, an electronic speaker sounded from above.
[The initial mission participants numbered twenty; the current number of survivors is twenty.]
Welcome to the "Carnival Paradise" dungeon, an SSS-rank dungeon. This quest is not timed; however, please remember that you must not remove your mask before the game ends. This dungeon is for two players, one male and one female. Please form a team beforehand.
Ten pairs of flowers soon appeared in the sky.
[Group members need to wear the same flowers. Please select your group members and then collect the flowers together.]
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
At this moment, Zhao Chang and Xiao Ying exchanged a glance, and Zhao Chang was the first to step forward, holding hands as they walked over and chose a pair of roses.
The roses were automatically pinned to their chests the moment their hands touched them.
"Didn't they say they were fine? They seemed to be cooperating quite well," Gao Lin couldn't help but complain.
“They really have great chemistry,” Xu Yi nodded in agreement.
What Dong Jiang said is true; the two of them do work together very well, giving the impression that no one else can interfere.
Others were also discussing how to pair up; those in the same team naturally chose people they knew.
Some came alone, their gaze sweeping around before finally settling on others who were also alone.
One of Zhao Chang's teammates walked straight towards Xu Yi, one hand behind his back and the other raised, bowing slightly. "Beautiful lady, may I partner with you?"
Song Ce had just noticed that Zhao Chang was staring at this woman, saying she looked like his fiancée.
He had seen a photo of Zhao Chang's fiancée; she was indeed a very beautiful woman. Unfortunately, that beautiful photo was mysteriously burned during a previous mission.
The woman's face was not clearly visible, but judging from her exposed chin, she was quite pretty.
Seeing the other person looking at him, Song Ce's smile widened. Even if she wasn't good-looking, she was wearing a mask so his face couldn't be seen, so who cared whether she was beautiful or ugly?
Song Ce's sudden action displeased the three people on Xu Yi's side.
Originally, there were two men and two women, but this person was blind and couldn't tell that they were a team.
Gao Lin has already partnered with Lu Ziyang.
Xu Yi ignored the man who tried to chat her up. Even if the team was really short of people, she would not choose Zhao Chang's teammate.
He turned directly to Yu Jin and asked, "Shall we go pick one too?"
Yu Jin nodded, and the two of them went over together and chose a pair of pink roses.
Lu Ziyang and Gao Lin followed behind and chose a pair of lilies.
Song Ce watched their retreating figures, a cold glint in his eyes, and muttered, "Ungrateful women."
They couldn't violate the system's rules, so they could only quickly team up with others and then choose the flowers.
With the ten teams standing together, Zhao Chang's gaze fell on Xu Yi again. He felt that the person looked very familiar.
She really looks like Xu Yi.
But how could that be? He knew Xu Yi very well. If she came here, how could she not recognize him?
Zhao Chang couldn't help but frown, his thoughts starting to race. He wanted to go over and see if that person was indeed Xu Yi.
Before Zhao Chang could make a move, the electronic voice sounded again.
【Dear mission participants, please select one of your route maps】
Several sheets of paper floated down from above.
After they randomly grabbed a piece of paper, the rest of the papers disappeared.
Xu Yi glanced at Lu Ziyang and his group's route map, which was different from the route map in Yu Jin's hand, but the destination was the same.
They had just finished looking at the route map when several rules appeared in front of them.
The survival rules for Carnival Paradise are as follows:
Rule 1: In the amusement park, all rides must be started by staff. If you find a ride operating on its own, please leave the ride immediately. If you are not on a ride, please notify the amusement park staff immediately.
Rule Two: There are no horses or clowns in the circus. If you see a horse, immediately mount it and escape the circus. If you see a clown, ask him for help.
Rule 3: Please keep the amusement park clean and tidy. Do not litter. Please remember to dispose of your trash in the trash cans.
Rule 4: Take good care of all amusement park equipment and do not damage it. If you find any damage to the equipment, please contact staff immediately.
Rule 5: If one member of a team of couples survives, they can choose to revive the other after the game ends. However, if one member betrays the other, both will die.
Finally, I wish all players good luck in completing the mission.
They need to go to the starting point on the route map and then set off according to the route.
"Be careful, we'll meet at the finish line," Xu Yi told Gao Lin and the others.
"Sister Yi, you all need to be careful too."
Zhao Chang turned around abruptly to look at Xu Yi. Had he misheard?
Does that girl's name also contain the character "意"?
Could she really be Xu Yi?
Zhao Chang was about to go over and take a closer look when Xiao Ying grabbed his wrist. "Chang, what are you doing? Let's go!"
Watching Xu Yi's departing figure, Zhao Chang couldn't help but laugh. How could she possibly be Xu Yi?
It's just a coincidence; Xu Yi couldn't possibly be here.
The system was typing away beside him, then it said, "Host, Zhao Chang's experiences in the bizarre world cannot be transferred to Xu Yi. His protagonist aura has dropped to 82%."
The inability to transfer means that Zhao Chang will have to bear the consequences of what he has experienced.
He was able to safely reach this instance thanks to his protagonist aura.
[That scumbag! He still has the nerve to say he loves you, but he can't even recognize his own lover! What love is he talking about! He should be buried alive.]
Xiang Bei spat, "The man the female lead chooses is the real male lead. If she doesn't choose him, then he should take off his male lead aura."
Seeing the long-absent comments on the screen, Xu Yi couldn't help but laugh.
"What's wrong?" Yu Jin asked, puzzled.
"It's nothing, I just thought of something funny."
Yu Jin didn't ask any more questions.
Xu Yi and Yu went into the area indicated on their map.
There are also some rule tips on the back of the map, such as the ten-minute activation time for each ride, reminding them not to exceed the time limit.
Their first stop was a pirate ship.
Xu Yi didn't react much, but Yu Jin's expression seemed a bit off.
Are you scared?
"A little bit." Yu Jin was a little embarrassed.
Xu Yi pointed to the sign behind the route map and said, "Don't worry, it says here that all the amusement facilities are safe."
Yu Jin nodded, and when he sat down, he fastened his seatbelt and was so nervous that he didn't say a word.
Xu Yi reached out her hand again, saying, "If you're scared, you can hold my hand."
Yu Jin hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "No need, I'll just grab this one."
As the pirate ship began to move, Yu Jin closed his eyes, and unconsciously tightened his grip on Xu Yi's hand.
All I could hear were the screams of tourists.
After sitting for a while, Yu Jin's legs were weak and his face was frighteningly pale. He sat in the chair for a long time to recover.
"Are you alright?" Xu Yi looked at him. Their next destination was the roller coaster, and judging from Yu Jin's condition, he probably wouldn't be able to handle it.
"I'm fine," Yu Jin waved his hand.
"How about I go alone? The rules say that as long as one party completes the task, the other party can also be considered to have successfully completed it."
Although Xu Yi didn't quite understand why this instance required two mission participants, a man and a woman, to act together.
But then she thought, where is the logic in this bizarre world? Xu Yi went to buy a bottle of water and handed it to Yu Jin. She checked it; the water was fine.
Yu Jin took a sip but still insisted, "No need, let's finish it together. The rules aren't very clear. We can exploit loopholes in the rules, but this is an SSS-level instance, so they can exploit our loopholes in the same way. It's best to finish it together."
Yu Jin finished the last drop of water in the bottle and threw the empty bottle into the trash can.
When she threw it in, the trash can shook slightly, but when Xu Yi looked over, nothing happened, as if it were just her imagination.
Is there a problem?
"It's nothing, let's go."
They went on the roller coaster again. After they got off, Xu Yi simply helped Yu Jin up, her hands covered in sweat from Yu Jin's body.
He didn't dare open his eyes the whole time, holding her hand tightly and not daring to let go for even a moment.
When I came down, I was covered in sweat and collapsed on the roadside, sitting down casually on the ground.
Yu Jin looked over, his face pale. "Sorry, I'm just a little afraid of heights."
Xu Yi sat beside him, watching the people having fun in the distance.
It was a very harmonious scene, and Xu Yi would have truly believed it if this weren't a bizarre world.
With just a slight shift in perspective, one can see the true appearance of those people as monsters.
The amusement park's facilities were all very dilapidated, and when they turned, they creaked and groaned, as if they were about to fall apart at any moment. Yet, those weirdos seemed to be having a lot of fun.
Xu Yi decisively switched back to a normal perspective. Just because she was brave didn't mean she could sit on a nearly broken amusement ride without batting an eye.
Enjoying thrills doesn't mean you can calmly court death.
She felt that her life was great.
When I looked up again, I saw Zhao Chang and Xiao Ying walking side by side toward the Ferris wheel.
As they passed by, Xiao Ying pointed cheerfully at the Ferris wheel and said, "Ah Chang, I heard that if couples kiss when the Ferris wheel reaches its highest point, they will stay together forever."
Zhao Chang looked at her, a smile playing on his lips, "Stop fooling around, we're not really a couple."
Xiao Ying's smile faded. With her back to Zhao Chang, she said with a somewhat disappointed expression, "You're right, we're not really together. Even if things are like this now, it's only temporary."
Watching her retreating figure, Zhao Chang finally sighed, pressed her shoulder, and made her turn around to face him.
Seeing Xiao Ying's tearful face, Zhao Chang sighed, "We're a couple now, it's not impossible."
Xiao Ying laughed for a moment, then quickly lowered her head in disappointment, "If your fiancée knew about this, she probably wouldn't be happy."
"This is also for the mission. If it weren't for you, I would have died here long ago. You are my savior. If she makes a fuss, it's because she's being unreasonable. Besides, she's just an ordinary person who doesn't understand anything. She has no idea how much effort I've put in to go back and see her."
Zhao Chang looked at Xiao Ying, sighed and said, "You seem carefree, but you are actually quite thoughtful. I wish Xu Yi was like you."
Xiao Ying didn't say anything, but Zhao Chang took her hand and said, "Silly girl, let's go and queue up."
Xu Yi and Yu Jin overheard their conversation. After a moment, Yu Jin looked down and began to examine the map in his hand.
He had heard the conversation between the two people and naturally hadn't missed the name Xu Yi.
Yu Jin glanced at Xu Yi beside him out of the corner of his eye, but ultimately didn't say anything more.
"Our next stop is the Ferris wheel."
Yu Jin finished speaking, but received no response.
Turning his head, he found Xu Yi staring blankly ahead.
Yu Jin waved his hand, and Xu Yi looked away, asking, "What's wrong?"
“Our next destination is the Ferris wheel,” Yu Jin repeated.
"Are you sure you can go up? The Ferris wheel is very tall."
Xu Yi estimated that the Ferris wheel here was very large, about sixty meters high.
To put it in perspective, that's equivalent to the height of a 20-story building.
"It's alright. Actually, I'm just a little afraid of heights. It's mainly because those rides were too fast. It would be better if the Ferris wheel went slower."
Looking at his pale face, Xu Yi felt that his words were not very convincing.
However, Yu Jin insisted, and they went to queue up together, just behind Zhao Chang and his group.
Zhao Chang still felt something was off. He had a feeling that Xu Yi was right beside him, a feeling that was stronger than ever before.
He suddenly turned around and met Xu Yi's gaze.
Xu Yi was also surprised that Zhao Chang would suddenly turn around. She was stunned for a moment, but stood there without moving or saying anything.
Zhao Chang stared at Xu Yi in disbelief, and subconsciously let go of Xiao Ying's hand.
He felt that the woman's smile was so familiar, it seemed to really be Xu Yi.
It's just that his eyes don't look quite right; Xu Yi would never look at him with such a cold gaze.
So this isn't Xu Yi at all.
Yes, she is not.
Definitely not.
Zhao Chang kept repeating this to himself in his mind.
The woman in front of me could not possibly be Xu Yi.
His gaze instantly changed, now filled with murderous intent as he looked at Xu Yi. This woman might be a monster from some strange world, deliberately trying to bewitch him.
He won't fall for it.
