Chapter 281 Chapter 281
"...we got separated." Han Qi looked at the gray sky, sighed, and looked at the people around him, "At least the temporary teammates...are not unreliable."
"Ah?" Birdwing Butterfly looked at him and smiled widely, "I'm awesome!"
Han Qi's suspicious look.
Beaded Butterfly: "In terms of strength, he is reliable, but other than that, he is not good enough."
Birdwing Butterfly said dissatisfiedly: "Apart from my strength, I am also reliable in other aspects!"
"Heh." Beaded Butterfly rolled her eyes.
Su Sanan looked around and found that there was no one else present except the four of them.
"If we get separated, we need to gather at the entrance of the amusement park." Su Sanan looked at the store sign in front of him and took out the city map. "I hope the building signs under the influence of the strange domain are the same as in reality."
The part of the map covered by the mysterious area is circled in red.
The store in front of you is a coffee shop. There are two coffee shops in the red circle, one with a Chinese sign and the other with a silver name, serving tourists with different food cultures from two continents.
The sign hanging at the door of the store has bright red square characters, and the name of the store is the same as the coffee shop with the Chinese sign on the map.
"To go to the amusement park, go out of this store and turn right, then walk along this street... turn right at the intersection after about a few dozen meters..." Su Sanan traced the route on the map with his finger, "Okay, I remember it."
After saying that, he looked at Han Qi and said, "Let's go along this route first."
Han Qi and the other two looked ahead: "I'm afraid not."
"Why?"
"You'll know when you see it." Birdwing Butterfly pointed ahead with a smile, "The road you're talking about doesn't even have an intersection a few dozen meters ahead."
Not just dozens of meters, because they were not shrouded in fog, and could see very far at a glance. At least as far as the eye could see, the road was just a long straight road, not to mention intersections, there were no forks in the road.
This is the worst case scenario. When we are scattered, the real map is useless.
At this time...
"I can only count on you." Su Sanan said to Han Qi.
Han Qi sighed: "Don't expect too much from me."
His ability to perceive is relatively narrow, so it may be difficult for him to find his teammates.
The situations of the other lost people were similar to that of Su Sanan and his companions. They were randomly sent to different locations and formed teams with completely unfamiliar people. The maps brought by reality were of no reference value in the weird domain, because the gray sky made it impossible to distinguish east, south, west and north. They could only rely on luck to find the route, hoping to find the way to the amusement park.
Although we are facing difficulties, at least there is no danger for the time being.
Several captains of 'Qingtong' were not so lucky.
After realizing they had entered a strange trap, everyone looked around with great vigilance. They appeared at a crossroads with four roads to choose from. Not knowing the direction and the map was useless, they could only choose a road on their own.
There are four roads, each with a signpost on the side of the road, but they are not words, but simple pictures.
The first signpost had bread and water painted on it, the second signpost had a car painted on it, the third signpost had flowers and plants painted on it, and the last signpost had a child painted on it.
"Restaurant, parking lot, garden, school." Wesley pointed at them one by one and said in a hoarse voice, "Right?"
Liddell put his finger on his chin and thought, "I agree with you on the first one, but cars may not be a parking lot, it may also be a place to sell cars, flowers may be a flower shop, and children... a children's playground? This answer is very close to where we are going."
Ocalypse Butterfly pointed at the icons one by one: "Hunger Games, Car Crash, Dangerous Jungle, Killer Doll."
The others looked at him silently.
The sour butterfly replied as a matter of course: "This is a strange world, so this is the correct way to think about it."
"That's right." Qingtong nodded. "Since we already know that this strange place is a trap, there can't be a beautiful and comfortable place here. The normal answer is abnormal here."
Gong Qian: "So the conclusion is where should we go?"
The four captains pointed at the road sign with the picture of the child.
Gong Qian smiled and said, "Everyone's opinions are really the same."
He thought that the four captains, four powerful men, would quarrel over this first.
Wesley: "The only road sign with a 'person' painted on it. I want to go take a look. Maybe there's a clue."
Liddell: "I still think it might mean the amusement park. That's where we're meeting."
Ocalyx: "Children are easier to kill."
Gong Qian glanced at the vinegar butterflies and immediately confirmed who the craziest one was.
Qingtong was silent for a moment, then said, "Intuition."
In fact, it is because the weirdness there is the strongest.
It may be dangerous, but danger also means opportunity, and it is worth exploring.
The minority obeyed the majority, and since they all had the same opinion, they walked in the direction of the child's signpost. As they took steps on that road, the intersection behind them and the other three roads were immediately swallowed up by the darkness and disappeared without a trace.
Liddell looked back and said, "Oh, he was so anxious to hide his escape route, not giving us any time to regret. It seems that he made an unwise choice."
Oxygen Butterfly: "Hmph, never mind. Can't we find a way out?"
Wesley remained calm and continued walking forward.
Gong Qian followed silently behind, his eyes swept across the faces of several people, thinking secretly that he was worthy of being the captain, he was not panicked at all even when being targeted by a weirdo in the weird area.
After walking for an unknown distance, the scenery in front of them changed and they found themselves in an indoor children's amusement park.
I was clearly on the road just now, but the next second I was directly inside the room.
Although it is a children's amusement park, the style is completely bloody and scary. If it were placed in any video game, it would have to be stated that only adults are allowed to visit.
The ladder of the slide is made of bones, stained with unshaved flesh. The ocean balls that children like are filled with huge eyeballs, and the bloodshot eyeballs are clearly visible. There is also a tight trampoline, which is made of flesh-colored leather tissue. The hairy skin makes people not want to think about whose skin it was peeled off.
The only thing that looked relatively normal was the small pile of sand in the corner, with a shovel and a plastic bucket on it. However, under a sand castle, Gong Qian was sure that he saw half of a finger sticking out. He took a deep breath and looked away.
"It's not a large amusement park, it's just a small indoor children's playground." Liddell sighed, obviously feeling it was a pity.
"Not school." Wesley also muttered.
Gong Qian couldn't help but frown. Do you still care about these things now?
"Something happened!" Qingtong immediately reminded.
"Hehehe." The child's weird laughter rang out.
The Oxalis butterfly looked around cautiously but couldn't find the source of the sound.
"Want to play games, big brothers?" The playful voices of children came.
With a whoosh, a flying knife flew past and stuck into the sand pile.
The sand pile gradually bulged, gravel rolled down, and a child crawled out from it. He was about eight years old, wearing a clean shirt and overalls, holding a small shovel in his hand.
"Want to build a castle?" the child asked with a smile, holding up a shovel.
Gong Qian took a few steps back nervously. The child in front of him looked normal, except that he had no eyeballs.
Where the eyes should have been were two black holes, with blood staining the edges.
After this child appeared, several more children appeared on the slide and in the ocean balls, but they ignored the thousands of people in the palace and played their own games. The children on the slide climbed on the skeletons with a smile, and the children in the ocean balls swam in the ocean of eyeballs, looking very happy.
They have black eye sockets just like the children in the sand pile who appeared at the beginning.
"I don't think there has ever been a tragic case of digging out a child's eyes in Connor Country," Liddell whispered.
Wesley snorted, "Who knows? Even if they do, they won't tell us."
Especially when it is a tragic case where more than one child had their eyes gouged out, and it makes the world news, it is considered a family shame. If possible, everyone would want to hide the joke from other countries.
What's more, Connor is a country that relies heavily on the tourism industry. If there are no tourists, it would be like cutting off its economic lifeline. Serious cases would make people afraid to come here to play, especially families with children. Therefore, Connor would cover up such news and not let others know.
"Tsk." Su Jiangdie curled her lips in dissatisfaction, "I will definitely let the president have a good talk with Connor when I get back."
It's not okay to hide important news.
Before setting off, he had clearly asked the person in charge of Connor Country whether any serious cases had occurred in the area covered by the strange domain. As a result, the person in charge swore that there had only been some traffic accidents and nothing serious had happened.
Look at the eye sockets of these children. Do you think nothing serious happened?
If this isn't a big deal, then what is?
But now is not the time to dwell on this.
Su Jiangdie clasped his hands and muttered to himself, and then his figure changed. The originally tall and thin man who looked unhealthy suddenly turned into a muscular man.
"Deal with them." Su Jiangdie said confidently, "If these are the core anomalies, this task won't be that difficult."
"Haha, I can handle it too!!" Wesley roared and rushed forward faster than the Oxalis Butterfly.
Liddell was not to be outdone.
Behind them, Qingtong and Gong Qian were still standing there.
Gong Qian was not a combatant, but an emergency rescuer. It was normal for him not to rush, but Qing Tong did not take any action either. This made Gong Qian feel very strange. He looked at him in confusion: "Captain?"
Qingtong raised his head and looked at the roof.
After entering this indoor children's playground, everyone focused their attention on the scary buildings and facilities. After the strange child appeared, their eyes were drawn to them. Therefore, from beginning to end, no one looked up at the roof.
In reality, whether you are at home or visiting someone else's home, you may pay attention to the color and size of the floor tiles, but few people will look up to see the style of the lamp.
'Qingtong' was different. The reason he noticed the top of the head was because after the strange child appeared, the sudden intensified attention on the top of the head made him feel like a thorn in his side.
"What's on the roof?" Gong Qian also raised his head, and then he was stunned.
Above their heads, on the ceiling of the room, there were a pair of huge eyes and a mouth with its corners raised high, smiling wickedly.
Those kids are just puppets. The real boss is always above their heads, staring at them as if they are joking.
"You found out." The weird smile became even more vicious.
