It's hard to say whether a string of ghost stories or a string of bizarre tales is more outrageous.
However, Jing Gui knew that if he didn't want to be driven half to death by anger, it was best not to have too many conflicts with Yin Zhu.
It didn't know if reciting "Don't Get Angry" would work, but to avoid being driven half-dead with anger by Yin Zhu, the Mirror Ghost still loudly recited it in Yin Zhu's mind for a while, angrily venting its dissatisfaction with her:
Don't be angry, don't be angry.
Life is like a play, and we meet because of fate.
Why get angry over trivial matters?
I won't get angry if others upset me, because anger will only make me sick and no one can take my place.
...
The mirror's silence was deafening.
After all, it was quite noisy when a ghost was shouting "Don't be angry" in her head. Fortunately, Yin Zhu had the foresight to have already eaten her fill.
"Stop reading now, so what is he pretending for, and what are you acting for?"
Even the viewers in the live stream noticed something was wrong with the mirror spirit, so it was impossible for Yin Zhu, who spent every day with it, not to sense it. However, Yin Zhu never wanted to waste her brain cells on questions that could be answered by asking the person involved; she would just ask directly if she could.
The voice of the mirror spirit stopped abruptly in her mind, and after a long silence, it slowly said, "You can understand it as his personal hobby."
"……oh."
This time, it was Yin Zhu's turn to find it difficult to describe what she was thinking.
However, upon closer reflection, this answer, while unexpected, is also quite reasonable.
First, the people of Sin City are mostly overly self-conscious. After staying there for a long time and gaining power, they no longer value the lives of others. They can be described as a model of chaos and evil. They set rules for others, but they themselves are above the rules, so they cannot be considered lawful.
Secondly, the fact that Wei Chuxing chose an amusement park as his territory shows that he is a playful person at heart. Compared to fixed amusement facilities, humans with self-awareness and reactions are undoubtedly more fun.
Finally, from their brief encounter, Yin Zhu could tell that Wei Chuxing had a certain desire to perform. Unlike other supervisors who preferred to hide behind the scenes or directly intimidate the indigenous people, he preferred to pretend to be one of their own to approach the victims and artificially create a "reversal of the situation."
After clarifying the thought process, the reason why the amusement park manager disliked the "Chosen One" also became clear.
Ultimately, the supervisor is just an ordinary human or a supernatural being. They don't possess the unspeakable abilities or the all-powerful powers of a city lord. Even with the support of the domain's rules, the existence of the chosen one is still a ticking time bomb, which could very well overturn the death game that he has carefully crafted for the other party.
"So where are we going next?" Yin Zhu pulled out a map of the amusement park. "I want to go to the haunted house."
"Don't you have any other questions for me?"
Jinggui felt that the topic had jumped a bit too far. It originally wanted to explain its previous behavior, such as repeatedly mentioning that the supervisor would increase Wei Chuxing's attention and might be targeted by him. Therefore, it hoped that Yin Zhu would try not to connect the two.
Now it seems that its thoughts are not important to Yin Zhu.
“Well, I think you don’t need to be so afraid most of the time. Look at me, I’m not afraid either,” Yin Zhu said with a smile. “Normally, I would definitely collect all six seals, and he would notice me no matter what.”
Just as if she could read the inner thoughts of the Mirror Demon, Yin Zhu combined its questions to understand the Mirror Demon's inner turmoil.
"Who told you that being noticed is always a bad thing?"
Yin Zhu shrugged, thinking to herself that her adventure in the bizarre world was broadcast live across the entire planet Earth. Even if foreigners might not watch, almost everyone in China had seen it.
With billions of eyes watching him, he, a mere manager, is nothing special.
Moreover, being noticed means that one is of interest to the other party, even if it's just for their amusement in watching one die, it can still be something that the other party can use.
However, these little thoughts are not something to be shared with outsiders.
External trickery won't work either.
...
While Yin Zhu was eating, many of the viewers from Longguo also went to eat. Some people who were used to watching The Chosen Ones' live stream went directly to another very popular live stream after leaving the Longguo live stream room.
At this point, the popularity of the Lighthouse Nation's live stream had reached one million, which meant that almost one in a hundred people on Earth was watching the Lighthouse Nation's Chosen One.
Paul was now carefully waiting for his opportunity.
Not every chosen one will follow the path of Hirano San, who "cultivates good relations with the natives of Sin City." Even the desire to "exchange common interests for peace" like Yin Zhu depends on the individual. Most chosen ones are filled with distrust of Sin City, and Paul is no exception.
During my time working at Daydream Amusement Park, I diligently cleaned the rides and guided visitors every day, all in order to find enough clues.
Paul also found it difficult to leave once he started working there, but he did not panic blindly. Instead, he lay low for a while, calmly observing the choices of other Indigenous people and summarizing the consequences.
According to the information he collected, once you become a staff member, it is absolutely impossible to leave Daydream Amusement Park, because once their "code name" is in the hands of the manager, it is equivalent to handing over your life to the manager. The only way out is to violate the rules that are not immediately fatal and be demoted to a tourist.
After becoming a tourist, you need to collect six stamps, but this does not mean that the tourist can leave. Instead, they will turn into assessment cards and turn you back into a staff member.
While the staff are safe, they will eventually have to return; only the tourists can truly leave.
It seemed like a vicious cycle, but it was based on strict adherence to the rules. So, after gathering all the information, Paul's purple talent allowed him to find a perilous path to survival—
The sign-in card has become an inspection card because the supervisor is watching the visitors.
Therefore, as long as an opportunity is created so that the supervisor's attention is diverted to something else the moment he leaves, he should be able to leave safely.
To prove his point, Paul devised ways to circumvent the rules, using methods such as throwing notes and playing the riddle-taker to successfully get a tourist to collect all six stamps. He then created an "accident" just as the tourist was leaving, allowing him to escape.
Paul believed that if others could do it, so could he.
However, Paul's actions of protecting the tourist along the way eventually gave him away, but fortunately it wasn't fatal, so he was dismissed and successfully became a tourist.
This was also part of his plan.
Many of the projects were highly dangerous, so Paul had to sacrifice speed and chose four daytime projects and two nighttime projects. He first stole staff uniforms to prepare for the operation, then dragged out the time until the evening to complete the nighttime projects. He then disposed of the stolen goods the next morning and began to tackle the daytime projects.
Only in this way could Paul ensure that he always appeared to be following the rules and was not suspected by his superiors.
