Since the goal is to verify this, the night cannot simply be spent sleeping. The Flower Bud Hotel releases a sleep-inducing fragrance, which also serves as an invisible means of monitoring the maintainers.
Not sleeping at all is also not acceptable.
Cheng Shuang and Da Bai closed their eyes and pretended to sleep, while Luo An and Sang Sang Guai kept watch. About three hours later, the moon was already showing signs of setting in the west, and the two of them groped their way out of bed in the dark.
The little girl yawned, took out a piece of fruit leather, took a small bite, carefully put it back, and then took out a 'Piercing Eye of the Abyss City' card, stuck it on the floor, facing the ceiling.
Big White stood on the bed, tiptoed, and tentatively reached out with his hand, which immediately pierced through the roof and reached the outside.
She gave a thumbs up, took out a card, and silently opened her mouth, "Invisible drop tower."
—A drop tower that no one can spot, giving you the thrill of jumping off a building without being discovered or disturbed by anyone.
Big White leaped out through the small hole created by the Eye of Penetration first, followed by Cheng Shuang. When half of the little girl's body was exposed outside the sloping roof, looking at the slippery ground and the empty roof, she gritted her teeth and took a step out of trust in her companion.
Sure enough, her arm was grabbed, and when she opened her eyes, she found herself standing in a rectangular, transparent space. The space was small; Da Bai was petite, only about 1.5 meters tall, just enough for her to stand upright.
Now, Da Bai is holding Cheng Shuang tightly, leaving only two words: "Hold on tight!"
In an instant, a feeling of loss of control arose beneath her feet. If Big White hadn't been holding her tightly, the little girl's head would have hit the transparent ceiling.
Cheng Shuang, who had been seeing everything as a mosaic, suddenly felt as if countless shards of building blocks were spinning before her eyes. Her stomach churned, and the little girl deftly closed her eyes, entrusting all her trust to Da Bai.
The feeling of weightlessness lasted for a full half hour. When the drop tower safely reached the ground, Cheng Shuang, supporting herself on the big white robot, leaned against a corner and vomited profusely.
Even the strong Shuang was knocked down by the drop tower!
The little girl couldn't believe her own fragility, and the more she tried to suppress it, the more violently she vomited, her face turning deathly pale!
Da Bai was a little embarrassed. "The downside of the drop tower is that no matter how high it is, it's calculated as a half-hour descent time... The next time you use it, the time will double. When it accumulates to a certain unbearable time range, the card is considered unusable. Moreover, the lighter you are, the stronger your motion sickness reaction will be."
Cheng Shuang... with visual blurring added, she has already forgiven her fragile self. It's not that she's not strong, it's just that reality is too cruel.
She hurriedly stuffed another mouthful of ginseng fruit peel into her mouth, but feeling that it wasn't very effective, she could only eat the whole thing.
Da Bai sweetly pulled out a handful of hawthorn slices and said with concern, "Try these, they should also stop nausea."
Whether the little girl could stop vomiting or not, she knew that if she ate all of these hawthorn slices, she would definitely experience toothache and stomach acid.
But the little girl couldn't bear to see Baymax feel guilty, so she took it and thanked him sweetly.
After a while, the dizziness subsided, and the two quietly stepped into the darkness, following the direction they remembered.
The amusement park was no longer bustling with the noise of the parade; the neon lights were off, leaving only one or two dim nightlights.
The park, now devoid of staff and pedestrians, was much larger than she had imagined. After passing several large amusement rides, Cheng Shuang's ears twitched as she looked toward the food street.
Sensing the little girl stop, Big White turned to her and quietly asked, "What's wrong?"
Cheng Shuang pointed to the food street, "I sense something's going on!"
Da Bai raised her hand and glanced at her watch. "It's three o'clock. The food street closes at midnight. Are the owners packing up?" She looked again at the dark food street, but couldn't see anything.
After walking a few more steps, Cheng Shuang suddenly stopped.
“No,” she said. “Think back to the daytime, did you see any of those staff members in the food court?”
After thinking it over, Da Bai said, "You mean the stalls recommended by the customer service staff are either just trying to scam us, or they have their own separate night market?"
"Also, where do the homeless and the staff live?" The little girl asked, resting her chin on her hand. The few hotels that provided accommodation were barely enough to accommodate all the newly arrived maintainers, and with the food street running all night, there was no room left for them to rest.
"Maybe some homeless people don't need to sleep." Da Bai took the little girl's hand and quickened his pace. "We'll find out when we go check!"
Cheng Shuang nodded, and the two deliberately chose to walk in dark places, soon arriving at the corner where the artificial mountain was placed.
Big White suddenly gripped the little girl's wrist tightly, his dark eyes becoming empty again, and he even stammered a little due to nervousness, "I feel very uncomfortable and want to leave here. He Cheng, or... never mind, it's all dark here, there's nothing here!"
There's nothing there!?
The little girl touched her cat ears, and after using the 'Black Cat Defio' card, the artificial mountain in her eyes gradually revealed its true form. It wasn't an artificial mountain at all, but a real green mountain, taller than the Ferris wheel, with fluffy green grass covering its peaks. Facing them was a cave, with two round, chubby stone sculptures of mythical beasts standing on either side of the cave, and wisps of cold air occasionally emanating from within.
An ominous aura seeped from the cold air, and it was this aura that made Big White slowly retreat and start to have second thoughts.
Cheng Shuang grabbed Da Bai to stop her unconscious behavior. "Da Bai, I used a card that can see through illusions. If you have something similar, you should wear it."
Da Bai was startled, shook her head in a daze, and quickly knitted a helmet over her head. A low, muffled voice came out, "I feel better!"
Lies!
The little girl glanced helplessly at Big White's trembling legs and soaked back, and sighed, "Why don't you stay?"
Da Bai bit her lip, hesitated for a long time, and still couldn't make up her mind. It was too dangerous inside, and she was really worried about letting the little girl go in alone. But if she insisted on going in, it would only cause trouble for the little girl.
How much mental energy do you have?
"156."
After answering, Da Bai realized that it wasn't Cheng Shuang who asked the question. She immediately looked behind her warily. Not to mention that her heightened vigilance made the unsettling and chilling feeling of wanting to avoid her dissipate somewhat.
"You've been affected." Two figures slowly approached from the darkness; they were Sihai and Gongzhu.
Cheng Shuang recognized them because they were wearing wide-brimmed hats and large black cloaks.
"Those with a mental strength below 180 should not go in." Gong Zhu took a deep breath and frankly spread his hands, "I don't meet the standard either."
"Did you come from the food street?" Cheng Shuang asked curiously, noticing the smell of cooking oil on the two of them.
"No." Sihai took off his top hat, sniffed his sleeve, and immediately smiled with satisfaction. "Youyou, you're still as clever and perceptive as ever!"
