To be fair, Wei Chuxing did indeed harbor the wicked desire to see how these tourists "struggled, how hard they tried, and finally, after collecting six stamps, could only despairingly become his underlings."
He made a mistake, and God could have simply struck him dead with a bolt of lightning instead of making him listen to two women on the roller coaster telling lame jokes and "singing folk songs" up close.
Thank goodness, the roller coaster wasn't very long.
The moment they drove into the terrifying house from the sunlight, all the passengers felt a sudden darkness before their eyes, only vaguely sensing that there was something around them, but they couldn't see anything clearly.
After all, the human eye needs time to adapt to light.
The roller coaster gradually slowed down and stopped at the platform inside the haunted house. Just then, an announcement came over the loudspeaker: "The Ghost Train has arrived at its destination. Please disembark in an orderly manner and do not linger on the roller coaster."
As soon as her feet touched the ground, Wei Chuxing immediately took out the love grass from her pocket and strode to a secluded corner to calm down for a while.
Seeing Wei Chuxing get out of the car, Yin Zhu naturally followed suit.
The announcement had already started, so the roller coaster wouldn't have the same tricky feel as the carousel, which reassured Yin Zhu a bit. She turned to look at Mu Yunsheng behind her and asked, "Wasn't that exciting?"
Mu Yunsheng's gaze towards Yin Zhu grew increasingly complex, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Unable to resist Yin Zhu's expectant, watery eyes as she looked at him, Mu Yunsheng awkwardly changed the subject: "When the seatbelt broke, weren't you scared at all?"
"Maybe it's because I'm good at physics?"
Yin Zhu was joking. In reality, her science grades weren't high, but she did know some of the scientific principles behind many common real-world phenomena—shouldn't that be considered common sense?
Seeing Mu Yunsheng's skeptical expression, Yin Zhu added, "That roller coaster went so fast, it must have centrifugal force, it couldn't have thrown us all out. This reminds me of a story a colleague told me before. He went on a roller coaster and his glasses fell off halfway through. When he got off, he found his glasses under the floor of the carriage, so I'm not worried."
Of course, these are not all the reasons; more of it was Yin Zhu trying to comfort her.
Yin Zhu's story was true, and even if the reason wasn't entirely accurate, the mix of truth and falsehood was enough to convince Mu Yunsheng; at least it sounded plausible.
The real reason is related to the hidden rules of Sin City that Yin Zhu discovered.
Your fear is the fuel for your bizarre growth.
The more fear one feels, the easier it is for the supernatural to take advantage of one's vulnerability. This is perfectly illustrated in the case of the Mirror Ghost. When the roller coaster accident happened, Yin Zhu quickly realized that something was wrong.
Since seatbelt failure can happen to everyone, it means that "seatbelt damage" is a recurring issue.
Since Wei Chuxing will sit on it, it means that this part will not threaten his life, so there is nothing to be afraid of. As long as he stays natural, he will be able to pass through the roller coaster smoothly.
However, while Yin Zhu could think of this, other tourists might not.
Although most of the tourists are illusions, Yin Zhu doesn't want to see most people fall off the roller coaster like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
Because she wasn't very confident about the interior of the haunted house, Yin Zhu naturally thought that the more "people" there were, the better. After all, there are ancient Chinese proverbs like "many hands make light work" and "three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang." Even if they encountered danger, there would be more NPCs to explore the way together.
On the bright side, we should reduce our enemies and increase our friends.
To put it bluntly, the more cannon fodder the better.
Therefore, Yin Zhu forced herself to transform into a bull on the roller coaster, braving the wind to disturb the minds of others.
Emotions are a good thing. Even though Yin Zhu is not as good as the chosen one with pink talent in perfectly controlling other people's psychology, she still knows the general principle: anger can be the best substitute for fear and despair.
Many people use anger to mask their fear of weakness and ignore their vulnerability.
With the combined effects of noise pollution and distraction, the number of deaths and injuries on this roller coaster was indeed much lower than in the past. However, since it was the first time for Yin Zhu and Mu Yunsheng to ride it, the memories of other tourists were reshuffled every day. The only one with the most experience, Wei Chuxing, had already retreated to a corner to shut himself off.
Otherwise, he would have noticed that there were a third more tourists this time than in previous years.
Yin Zhu's eyes had already adjusted to the relatively dim light of the haunted house, but that wasn't the point. The point was that she had found the staff member in charge of stamping the documents.
"Here you go!" Yin Zhu handed over the sign-in card.
"Welcome, humans, to the Horror House! I am the mastermind behind this! Mr. Horror!" The loudspeaker suddenly blared, startling Yin Zhu, who quickly looked around to find the source of the sound.
"You've been locked up here by me! If you want to escape, try your best to find me!"
The man recording the audio spoke with a rhythmic tone, always drawing out his words and pausing occasionally, pronouncing each word clearly, which made Yin Zhu find it rather amusing.
Perhaps because the audio playback ended, the sound from the speaker reverted to a normal electronic female voice.
"Attention guests, attention guests, you are about to enter the official puzzle level of the Horror House. Please abide by the following rules while playing..."
The broadcast wasn't very fast, but for safety's sake, Yin Zhu recorded it on her phone and listened to it again for details, quickly summarizing the rules to be followed in the haunted house:
1. Please do not take any items from the haunted house while exploring it. Taking any items unintentionally or intentionally may anger the sleeping horror spirit.
2. Do not damage the amusement park facilities; violators will be held responsible for the consequences.
3. Please do not take photos, make phone calls, record videos or audio recordings inside the haunted house. Please do not bring dangerous items, food or drinks into the haunted house. Please do not spit or litter inside the haunted house.
4. When exploring a haunted house, please make sure that the teammates you encounter are your teammates, and not something in disguise.
5. This haunted house contains secret passages and hidden rooms. If you accidentally wander into an unfamiliar place, please remain calm.
6. Do not look directly into the mirrors in a haunted house.
7. The haunted house is divided into 4 areas. Do not stay in any area for more than 30 minutes consecutively.
8. If you find a door in the toilet of a cabin in your area, please leave the area as soon as possible.
9. The staff inside the haunted house will not have physical contact with you; please do not assault them.
10. Please remember that there are no ghosts in this world; all paranormal phenomena are just mechanisms in a horror movie.
