Why did the doll suddenly burst out laughing?
Why is there nothing unusual about the Ferris wheel in Sin City?
Is it human nature to slack off or employee negligence? Let's follow the camera into Wei Chuxing's daydream playground...
Yin Zhu initially only had the first one flash through her mind, but the following content was like a bad meme generator, instantly stuffing in all sorts of random keywords and forcibly piecing together a set of incongruous advertising slogans.
Yin Zhu was initially startled by the doll's sudden laughter, but as she made the connection, she was speechless with herself.
Maybe I should watch less next time.
Back to the present, Yin Zhu saw the doll laugh for a while. Because she was lost in her own thoughts, she kept a straight face and didn't make any movement. For a moment, the only thing moving in the entire cabin was the giggling white-clad doll.
After laughing for a while, the doll saw that Yin Zhu still didn't react, so she stopped laughing.
Yin Zhu had no intention of chatting with it and continued arguing with the mirror spirit: "Then why are you afraid of Wei Chuxing? Are you afraid he can restore you with one click?"
"Because in my remaining memories, several fragments are about being killed by his amusement park."
Jing Gui glared at Yin Zhu.
Almost forgot, the Mirror Ghost is a stitched-together monster of many people's souls, so for the Mirror Ghost, the amusement park is simply a place that caused it to die repeatedly in the past.
Yin Zhu looked at it with rare sympathy, but then felt something was off: "Then wouldn't you be considered the dragon slayer who ends up as the dragon himself, or the suffering daughter-in-law who becomes the wicked mother-in-law? You helped the temporary apartment manager eat the new citizens, turning humans into food. How is that any different from the amusement park killing other people back then?"
"Because I'm not the same person I used to be."
Jing Gui sat in the empty seat reflected in the glass, making it appear as if he and Yin Zhu were sitting side by side.
"I said..."
The doll was trying again to increase its presence.
"Wow, this sunset is really beautiful!" Yin Zhu was looking at the glass when she saw the sunset on the horizon and exclaimed like a child, "I've only seen the sun in the amusement park during my time in Sin City. Even though I know it's fake, it's still so beautiful that it makes me want to recite a poem."
"You can also write poetry?" Jing Gui asked with awe.
"Sunset, you are so beautiful; white clouds, you are tinged with the afterglow." Yin Zhu seriously imitated a Tang Dynasty doggerel and improvised one.
"...With your skill level, you shouldn't be writing poetry."
The mirror ghost swept away the admiration it shouldn't have felt before into a dustpan, made a trash can in its reflection, and dumped it all in. It shouldn't have had any expectations of Yin Zhu in the first place; that was its mistake.
"Just because I said someone doesn't get angry, do you all think they're dead?!"
The baby screamed loudly this time.
Yin Zhu and Jing Gui then refocused their attention on the white-clad doll.
The mirror spirit was a little surprised, and it darted back into Yin Zhu's eyes, whispering to Yin Zhu, "This doll is strange, it doesn't seem to be a ghost."
“I can hear you.”
The doll rolled her eyes and looked at Yin Zhu with that half-smile, yet utterly lifeless expression: "Do you know me?"
“Yes, I know you.” Yin Zhu nodded. “You’re the doll in the white dress. I’ve also seen you in a pink princess dress in the mall before.”
Indeed, the broadcast once mentioned:
[After boarding, please keep your belongings safe and confirm that you are riding the Ferris wheel alone or only with a friend, and that there are no other unfamiliar humanoid beings in the space.]
However, the word "know" in the broadcast should mean "to be acquainted" or "to get to know," which is used in the context of relationships between people. But Yin Zhu automatically interpreted "know" as "to gain an understanding of objective things." So, in Yin Zhu's mind, if it were something high-tech, she might not really recognize it. But this was just a doll that was very common in shopping malls, something she was very familiar with.
The white-clad doll choked up, never expecting such a perspective.
"You're not trying to steal my things, are you?"
Yin Zhu suddenly became alert and quickly grabbed her belongings. The announcements had repeatedly emphasized the importance of protecting one's belongings, as if tourists might actually leave something on the Ferris wheel.
The doll was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Never mind."
The next second, the light distorted, as if fluctuating with electricity. When it stabilized again, the doll had transformed into Wei Chuxing: "Let's get straight to business."
Yin Zhu had long since become numb to it, and kept repeating in her mind: The illusion is really useful.
As soon as Wei Chuxing appeared, Jing Gui pretended to be dead.
I wonder what it will think when it finds out that it has said so much to the person in question.
After adjusting his appearance, Wei Chuxing flashed a perfect eight-tooth smile: "Let me reintroduce myself. I am the manager of Daydream Amusement Park. I am formally extending an invitation to you, hoping that you will stay at the amusement park and become a proud employee."
"What if I want to go out?" Yin Zhu basically ignored his words. "I have something very important to discuss with the city lord."
Wei Chuxing's smile remained unchanged: "If you're talking about Sheng Hui, then you don't need to worry, we've already taken care of him. He was indeed a bit troublesome, but we're not the kind of people we can just let him take advantage of."
"Speaking of which, I remember he had a roommate, he..."
Yin Zhu vaguely remembered that Chen Lvdou and Sheng Hui lived together. Would Sheng Hui being chased by the supervisor implicate him?
"That person."
Wei Chuxing paused for a moment, his smile somewhat eerie: "He betrayed Shenghui in exchange for a job at the department store."
“…That seems reasonable.” Yin Zhu nodded. “However, I want to leave Sin City not because of Sheng Hui. He is a threat to you, but not to me. I just want to go back and see my family. As you know, a law-abiding citizen like me doesn’t fit in with the criminals of Sin City.”
