Xiao Chang'an glanced at the little boy, who shuddered, and then began operating something in the control room.
When Mu Wenxi stepped out of the roller coaster control room, she found that all the other passengers had disappeared.
Li Na, Dong Lihua, and Shen Jiaqi were worried about Mu Wenxi when suddenly everything went black and they fell to the ground. When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves back in the same movie theater.
There were many more people around them; they were the same people who had ridden the roller coaster with them earlier.
"Ouch, that hurts!"
"We're...we're out? We're out! We're out, hahaha!"
"It's really out!"
"Quick, does anyone have a phone to check the time?"
A person fumbled for their phone on their person, their hands trembling as they tried to turn it on: "It still has power, it can be turned on, it can be turned on."
"Quickly, check if I can make a phone call?"
"We have a signal!"
The man holding the phone made a call, and a group of people gathered around the phone to listen.
"Beep beep beep... Who is this?"
The man burst into tears instantly: "Mom, it's me."
After the man finished his call, the others also borrowed his phone to make calls to their families.
On the other side, Dong Lihua, after being thrown off the screen, quickly got up and looked for her friends. She quickly found Li Na and Shen Jiaqi, but couldn't find Mu Wenxi: "It's over, it's over, Wenxi didn't come out."
Li Na and Shen Jiaqi had just embraced when they heard Dong Lihua's words and immediately went to look for Mu Wenxi.
"Wenxi, where is Wenxi?"
Dong Lihua looked flustered: "Why didn't Wen Xi come out when we all came out?"
Li Na forced herself to calm down: "Don't rush, don't rush, let's wait a little longer. She'll be fine. Didn't you say she's very good? She'll definitely be alright."
In the boy's mind, after letting the person go, the little boy quickly moved to Mu Wenxi's side: "You said you would take me to the new amusement park."
Xiao Chang'an grabbed the little boy by the collar and pulled him aside.
The little boy secretly glared at Xiao Chang'an, but dared not do anything else.
Mu Wenxi pulled Xiao Chang'an aside: "Let's go out too."
Xiao Chang'an: "Hmm."
The little boy got angry again when the two ignored him: "You're bad people, you lied to me!"
Mu Wenxi: "Can you come out with us?"
The little boy's eyes lit up immediately: "I can."
Mu Wenxi: "Why did you come out with us?"
The little boy thought for a moment: "I can shrink and become a roller coaster."
Mu Wenxi nodded: "Okay, then go ahead and transform. But let me make this clear first, we still need to find our friends after we get out. One of our friends was also captured by the other ghosts in your amusement park, so we won't be able to take you to the new amusement park anytime soon."
The little boy said, "It's okay, I can help you."
Mu Wenxi: "What's your name?"
The little boy proudly declared, "My name is Roller Coaster!"
Mu Wenxi twitched the corner of her mouth. What a simple name. "Then change it."
The little boy nodded and transformed into a roller coaster in front of the two of them. Just as Mu Wenxi was about to put the roller coaster in his pocket, Xiao Chang'an stopped him.
"I'll do it."
Mu Wenxi handed the roller coaster to Xiao Chang'an. The roller coaster shook slightly, which Xiao Chang'an noticed.
He chuckled, and the two disappeared from the spot.
Inside the theater, Dong Lihua and two others were huddled together, sobbing: "It's all my fault..."
"Don't cry."
Dong Lihua froze for a moment upon hearing the familiar voice, then quickly turned around: "Wen Xi!"
Mu Wenxi: "Okay, okay, I'm fine."
Dong Lihua: "How did you get out?"
Mu Wenxi lied without hesitation: "I grabbed the ghost and said that if it didn't release us, I would stuff it into the jade pendant. It got scared and released us."
Dong Lihua: "Luckily you have the jade pendant; it's really useful."
Shen Jiaqi still looked very haggard. She stepped forward and thanked Mu Wenxi, saying, "Thank you this time. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have died inside."
A man who had also escaped overheard their conversation and quickly came over: "Miss, you're the one who saved us, right? I saw you screaming inside. I heard you mention the jade pendant, may I take a look?"
Li Na, Shen Jiaqi, and Dong Lihua immediately stepped in front of Mu Wenxi and refused: "No."
Mu Wenxi: "Sorry, family heirlooms can't be shown to others."
The man said with some regret, "Okay."
Mu Wenxi smiled and hooked her little finger around Xiao Chang'an. What jade pendant? The treasure beside her was clearly the most powerful.
"Let's go too, there's still one person left."
Shen Jiaqi slapped her forehead hard: "Right, right, I almost forgot, there's also Xiaxia! She said she was going to the bathroom, and I told her to go to the theater and wait for her, and then this happened."
Li Na patted her on the shoulder: "It's okay, we'll go find her right away."
Mu Wenxi and the other three walked out of the theater, and the others followed suit, but no one went off alone. After what had happened, no one dared to act alone anymore.
"Brother, when did you come in?"
About a week ago.
What about you, sister?
"I just came in two days ago."
"I'm the unluckiest. I've been here for more than half a month, and there's another guy over there who's been here for more than a month and has already gone crazy."
How did we get out this time?
"I don't know, I still feel like I'm having a dream."
"I just remember someone screaming, and then we came out."
"Forget it, stop thinking about it. Go home and rest for a few days. Forget about it."
Li Na overheard what the others were saying and looked at Shen Jiaqi, whose condition was very worrying.
Are you really alright? Why don't you find a place to rest?
Shen Jiaqi: "No, I'll go with you."
Mu Wenxi: "Let's go together. Do you remember where the restroom you mentioned was?"
Shen Jiaqi: "Maybe it's the restroom in the service area?"
Mu Wenxi: "Let's go take a look over there."
The group walked towards the service area. The service area was open-air, and there was nothing unusual about the two toilets inside.
The four walked out of the service area disappointed.
Li Na: "Where else is there a toilet?"
Mu Wenxi: "The other restrooms are all a bit far from the cinema. It's impossible for someone to deliberately go to a far place to use the restroom."
Xiao Chang'an squinted at a certain spot, then suddenly took out a roller coaster and put it in Mu Wenxi's pocket. The roller coaster bounced in Mu Wenxi's pocket as if it had something to say.
Xiao Chang'an relayed the roller coaster's message: "Go to the haunted house."
Mu Wenxi's gaze shifted to the nearest attraction in the service area: a haunted house. It was possible that Xiaxia had accidentally entered it on her way back from using the restroom.
She began by guiding the others to think in the direction of a haunted house: "Let's look one by one, the indoor area closest to the theater."
Sure enough, Li Na pointed in a certain direction: "The nearest indoor place is a haunted house! Will Xia Xia go to the haunted house?"
