Of all these projects, the first one Yin Zhu wanted to visit was the Mirror Room.
Yin Zhu was not one to sit idly by and wait for death. Since the Mirror Demon was on him and he couldn't contact it for the time being, Yin Zhu decided to create an environment that would facilitate the Mirror Demon's appearance.
A funhouse mirror room naturally became the first choice.
Yin Zhu easily found her destination. Looking at the countdown timer, she couldn't help but complain, "Can't we be a little less realistic?"
There are so many people from the Dragon Kingdom on Earth that you'll almost always have to queue when visiting popular tourist attractions.
Although Yin Zhu hadn't been to an amusement park since she grew up, she'd still seen it all. Back then, outside an amusement park in Shanghai, even through the fences, Yin Zhu could see long queues. There were so many people that the park had to put up additional fences to separate the crowds and prevent people from cutting in line.
Seeing so many people queuing at Daydream Amusement Park, and even having to wait 15 minutes under the sun, Yin Zhu could only silently comfort herself: at least it's only half an hour.
As time ticked by, Yin Zhu practically memorized the entire area around the funhouse mirror; she even knew exactly where the ant nests were. Finally, Yin Zhu heard the staff member in blue standing at the door say, "Next batch."
The listless tourists who had been queuing at the entrance suddenly perked up as if they had drunk some kind of energy drink, and the stagnant queue began to move forward.
Meanwhile, a series of oddly shaped tourists emerged from the side door—some tall and thin, others short and stout—yet no one seemed to find anything amiss. These tourists had vacant stares and strange, satisfied smiles on their lips. They obediently left the distorting mirror room and scattered, randomly heading in different directions.
As Yin Zhu moved forward with the group, she couldn't help but glance at the tourists a few more times, and she had a general idea of what was going on.
"Wait a moment."
Suddenly, a staff member stopped the man in front of Yin Zhu. Under his puzzled gaze, the staff member told them expressionlessly, "The last batch has reached its capacity. You'll have to wait for the next batch."
Immediately, the electronic display board, which had just managed to reduce the countdown to 0, changed back to "Next game waiting time: 30 minutes".
Yin Zhu appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly she was cursing: I told you not to be so down-to-earth!
...
“If I didn’t know that the Chosen Ones were in the Strange World, I would believe that this happened on Earth.”
"This incident brought back painful memories for me."
"Actually, I think Daydream Amusement Park is okay. Before, when I went to amusement parks in Shanghai, many popular rides required a wait of at least an hour. It was a scorching hot summer day, and I didn't bring an umbrella. I almost got roasted alive."
"The tourists from there are terrifying. I wonder if Sister Sun will end up like that too?"
"I photoshopped several pictures of Yin Zhu looking in a funhouse mirror. Since I can't post pictures in the live chat, sisters, please go to the forum and search for '[Funhouse Mirror Yin Zhu]' to see my post!"
"666, that was fast!"
"I'll come back in half an hour; watching people queue is too boring."
"By the way, can someone explain to me why the amusement park in the United States is dark, while it's still daytime in China?"
"Yin Zhu is currently completing the game in one life. One of the players from the US sacrificed himself halfway through, so the time was reset."
"Don't spread misinformation upstairs. The live stream times are the same in every country. Only the time in the amusement park area is inconsistent, so it can't be generalized to the outside world. It must be a special case of Daydream Amusement Park."
"Why didn't the think tank give Yin Zhu a strategy? Won't she mess things up?"
"You just arrived? Before Yin Ba Sui went in, she said she didn't need the think tank's help. Ha, so arrogant and conceited, she'll die in there sooner or later. Does she think she has a protagonist's halo?"
"Sister Sun doesn't want the think tank's help because she's confident in her abilities, right? Don't be so aggressive."
Am I the only one who thinks think tanks are useless?
"The think tank had already given Yin Zhu a heads-up before. They still don't have any clues about this dungeon, so I think it's normal for the think tank not to waste their heads-up opportunities."
"That's right. In essence, the strange world still depends on the efforts of the chosen ones themselves. The national think tank is just an external aid. If Yin Zhu were like you, relying on the think tank to spoil everything, she would have been dead in the last instance!"
"The problem is that the think tank must already have a strategy for successfully completing the game, so we can definitely save time here, right?"
"Yin Zhu got cocky because he cleared the dungeon by himself. Even if he doesn't die this time, he'll probably be badly injured."
Opinions varied widely in the live stream regarding Yin Zhu's choice.
Time passed silently, and after Yin Zhu had used up 10% of her phone's battery, the staff finally made a move: "The previous group of tourists is leaving, you can come in now."
The staff member leaned out and opened the gate, gesturing for them to go inside.
The entrance and exit seemed to be one road, both looking like a black hole. Yin Zhu followed behind the man in front, handed her sign-in card to the staff inside, received a stamp, and then continued walking inside with the sign-in card.
After walking around a bend, the view suddenly opened up before us.
The lights shone down from the roof, making the countless funhouse mirrors even clearer. The room was more than just funhouse mirrors; it was like a mirror maze. Each path was narrow, barely wide enough for two slender people to walk side by side.
If a tourist is overweight, they might have to walk forward alone.
Welcome to the Funhouse Mirror House! You have 30 minutes to play. Funhouse mirrors are unique multi-faceted curved mirrors that allow you to see a different version of yourself in the mirror.
[Once you walk in, your height or shape may be distorted or elongated, or you may appear shorter or overweight; these are all normal occurrences.]
An announcement came over the loudspeaker inside the building, seemingly introducing the amusement park attraction.
If you become lost inside the room, please stay where you are and wait for our staff to guide you out. Please do not use force to damage the mirrors.
The broadcast content wasn't complicated, but Yin Zhu had already picked up on some issues.
As the broadcast ended, Yin Zhu could feel the tourists behind her getting excited: "Let's go! There are three paths, which one do you want to take?"
"Every road leads to the same destination, right? Men on the left, women on the right, shall we go on the right?"
The two girls, seemingly best friends, walked side by side to the right, laughing and joking. Distorted figures appeared in the surrounding mirrors, and the two girls seemed to grow taller as a result.
Yin Zhu looked around, her decision-making phobia kicking in, and ultimately chose the least thoughtless method:
"Get out of here, you mud pot and mud bowl! Roll out a grenade and blow you to death, you bastard!"
When the incantation ended, Yin Zhu's finger stopped at the far right.
"Then let's go to the right."
