Yan Ning was silent for a moment, then spoke in a low but steady voice, immediately grasping the crux of the matter:
"So, you've gone through all this trouble just to get revenge on your parents?"
These words were like a punctured water bag, and Ye Zi's tears streamed down her face.
Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were torn and dirty, and she had injuries, but the hatred in her eyes was not diminished by her tears.
She raised her head, her voice trembling with tears, but her words were exceptionally clear:
"Yes! Once this lousy amusement park closed, I was trapped here and couldn't get out. I possessed that man's body because I wanted to use his body to settle scores with them!"
"They killed me! I can't let this go!"
Yan Ning frowned; she understood that Ye Zi was feeling resentful and suffocated.
She sighed: "I can help you get out, but have you thought it through? If you're determined to seek revenge, I won't be able to help you pass on to the afterlife."
"Your soul will forever carry this resentment, forever trapped in hatred, without end, with no way out."
Ye Zi shuddered, a struggle flashing in her eyes, but she immediately hardened up again.
She stared at Yan Ning without hesitation: "I've made up my mind! I choose revenge! I never want to relive this awful life again!"
"I've lost everything, I can't even avenge myself, so what's the point of me living or dying?"
Yan Ning did not answer immediately.
She took out a small glass bottle from her bosom. The bottle looked ordinary, but it had some runes drawn on its surface and a faint glow.
She said calmly, "Alright, come in. I'll take you out tomorrow."
"But let me make this clear: once you take this step and choose the path of revenge, there's no turning back."
Ye Zi hesitated for a moment, looking at Yan Ning with a hint of uncertainty in her eyes:
"You...you'll really help me?"
Yan Ning tugged at the corner of her mouth and smiled somewhat helplessly:
"If you don't believe me, then forget it and you can stay in this broken amusement park."
"Once we leave tomorrow, this place will be completely ruined, and not even a ghost will ever come back."
"Once you miss this opportunity, you'll never get another chance. You won't be able to leave now."
Ye Zi felt a pang of panic.
She knew Yan Ning wasn't lying. After tomorrow, this godforsaken place would truly become a dead zone.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Fine! I believe you!"
After saying that, she closed her eyes, turned into a beam of light, and disappeared into the small bottle.
Yan Ning put the bottle back in her bosom, her eyes filled with a complicated expression.
She turned and left the dark corner, heading outside.
It was getting dark, and the setting sun shone on her, casting a long shadow.
The surroundings were quiet, and in the distance, everyone else was exhausted and found a place to rest.
Yan Ning also found a relatively quiet spot against a wall, leaned against it, and closed her eyes.
The next morning.
Just as dawn was breaking, a slight noise shattered the tranquility.
Everyone was instantly jolted awake from their exhaustion, and they all looked up in the direction from which the sound came.
That's the direction of the iron gate.
"Creak—"
The iron gate slowly opened, making a piercing sound.
"Ah! The door's open! The door's open!"
"Finally, we can go out! That's great!"
"I've been so bored these past few days!"
A hint of surprise flashed in everyone's eyes, and they shouted happily.
These past few days they've become filthy, their hair is disheveled, and their clothes are covered in dust and stains.
Like an animal that has been locked up for several days.
Everyone rushed happily toward the iron gate, their faces beaming with long-lost smiles.
Zhou Tian stood outside the door, a gentle smile on his face. He clapped his hands and asked:
Good morning, everyone. How have you been these past three days?
"How are you doing? That's laughable!"
A murmur of complaint arose from the crowd. Chen Chen pouted, his tone tinged with displeasure:
"Stop with this nonsense. Don't you know how we've been doing these past few days?"
"You're filthy and smelly, and you don't even have a decent place to rest. How dare you ask us how we're doing?"
Zhou Tian smiled, completely ignoring Chen Chen's complaints; he remained as gentle as ever.
"Alright then, everyone hand over your Alice Medals to me, and I'll see who's advanced."
Who wants to go first?
The crowd fell silent instantly, and everyone subconsciously touched their pockets.
Jiang Yao was the first to step out from the crowd and stand in front of Zhou Tian.
Everyone else had become somewhat disheveled over the past three days, but Jiang Yao remained clean and tidy.
He was wearing a white shirt with the collar slightly open, revealing a section of his long, slender neck.
His hair was also perfectly styled, without a single stray hair, and the black hair shimmered slightly in the sunlight.
He calmly handed the medal to Zhou Tian and said coldly:
"for you."
Netizens were instantly thrilled upon seeing this, flooding the screen with praise:
[Ahhh, Jiang Yao is so handsome! Three days have passed, and he's still so clean-cut and sharp—he's practically a walking fashion magazine!]
[He's so handsome! He was the first to hand in his medal! His charisma and demeanor made him the center of attention!]
[Husband, husband, husband! Jiang Yao, you are my Prince Charming, you are so handsome!]
Jiang Yao's looks and charisma are simply off the charts; he's clean-cut and handsome, it's so captivating!
After Jiang Yao handed in his medal, Su Muyao and Xia Wantang also stepped forward to hand in their medals.
Subsequently, Feng Jun and Qi Minghao also handed over their medals.
When it was Chen Chen's turn, he looked anxious and searched all his pockets, even checking his shoes, but still couldn't find the medal.
His face flushed red, and he yelled, "Holy crap, where's my medal?! Who stole my medal?!"
Standing not far away, Zhang Chufeng saw Chen Chen's panic and revealed a smug smile.
He narrowed his eyes, slowly walked over, and spoke with a hint of provocation in his tone:
"Sorry, this medal is with me."
After saying that, he took out a medal from his pocket and waved it.
Then he swaggered up to Zhou Tian and handed over the medal.
Chen Chen was trembling with rage. He shouted, "You shameless bastard, how dare you steal my medal!"
Zhang Chufeng shook his head. "What do you mean by stealing? It fell out when you fainted on the ground. I just picked it up, okay?"
"You! You're practically asking for death!"
Chen Chen wanted nothing more than to rush up and beat Zhang Chufeng to death; he pointed his finger fiercely at Zhang Chufeng.
"Wait a moment."
At this moment, Zhou Tian suddenly spoke up.
He turned the medal around, examining its details, then looked up at Zhang Chufeng and said:
"I'm sorry, this medal is fake."
The scene fell silent instantly; everyone was stunned.
Zhang Chufeng's smile froze on his face, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"What? Fake? How is that possible!"
