Chapter 91 (First Release)
Ning Wanwan paid no attention to the system's silence.
She rarely took the initiative to inquire about anything related to the system.
As someone who prefers to be alone in her own space, no matter how much time has passed, Ning Wanwan still finds it difficult to truly get used to having a system in her mind that is always there, watching over her.
However, for now, Ning Wanwan can still endure it in order to achieve her initial goal of going home.
After briefly muttering a complaint about Jiang Chengran and the others, she became more concerned about something else.
Since Ning Wanwan said she only wanted to ride the Ferris wheel alone, Jiang Chengran originally didn't plan to go up and ride it, wanting to wait until the evening.
However, whether it was Ning Wanwan's overly urging gaze or something else, Jiang Chengran clicked his tongue and stepped into the cockpit.
Lin Ruowei followed as quickly as possible before the cockpit doors closed, as if afraid that Jiang Chengran, that scoundrel, would kick her out.
Ning Wanwan watched the cabin slowly rise and exclaimed, "How smoothly their date is progressing."
system:【……】
If it weren't for you being here, this ridiculous so-called "date" would have collapsed long ago, you know!
Not long after, Ning Wanwan also got into the next cabin.
Although she knew it was unlikely to be such a coincidence, Ning Wanwan still checked the enclosed cockpit, but unfortunately she didn't find anything unusual.
As the Ferris wheel slowly turned and gradually rose in height, Ning Wanwan approached the glass and looked down. She saw the ground getting farther and farther away, the buildings getting smaller and smaller, and the view getting wider and wider.
She gathered her thoughts and focused intently on everything she could see, searching for anything amiss.
However, nothing was wrong. Everything was perfectly normal. Tourists were everywhere, the facilities were running, and even looking up, the weather remained clear and unchanged.
"Where exactly is the problem..."
Time ticked by, and Ning Wanwan murmured anxiously. Suddenly remembering something, she took out the sensor.
Even though she was already on the Ferris wheel, the indicator lights on the sensors unexpectedly did not increase their flashing frequency.
On the contrary, the frequency seems to be... decreasing.
"In other words, the concentration of special energy is actually getting thinner and thinner here..."
Inside another cabin.
Unlike Ning Wanwan, who was busy and focused on her business, the atmosphere here was very stagnant, completely unlike a date.
Jiang Chengran sat down without saying a word, his eyes half-closed and legs crossed arrogantly, clearly showing that he had no interest in either the scenery outside the window or the beautiful young lady opposite him.
Lin Ruowei had a strong purpose, so naturally she couldn't remain silent.
"Young Master Jiang, didn't you say you wanted to get revenge on Ning Wanwan? What, you're just going to let it go with buying an ice cream?"
Although she knew she should try to find another topic, no one paid any attention to her, and Lin Ruowei couldn't contain her anger.
Jiang Chengran scoffed, not even raising his head, and said without any politeness, "Of course I won't let this go! But how I retaliate is my business, none of yours."
Lin Ruowei gritted her teeth, forced a smile, and tentatively asked, pretending to chat, "I heard the popular ice cream at this amusement park is pretty good. If you're not going to buy it for me, Young Master Jiang, I'll have Ning Wanwan buy one for me after we get off the Ferris wheel..."
Jiang Chengran: "Is your leg broken or useless, yet you still order others around?"
Lin Ruowei suppressed her laughter and continued to force a smile, using a slightly coquettish tone that always worked on boys: "My legs are sore from walking so long, I can't walk anymore..."
Jiang Chengran answered her with just one word: "Climb".
Lin Ruowei: "..."
Jiang Chengran: "If you dare to talk to me in that disgusting tone again, you won't be allowed to stay at A Middle School anymore."
His tone was calm, devoid of even disgust, and anyone could tell he meant it.
This Jiang Chengran is completely different from the Jiang Chengran who was always angry and easily angered in front of Ning Wanwan.
A powerful beast wouldn't bother with an annoying ant. If Ning Wanwan hadn't seemed to care a lot about this classmate surnamed Lin, Jiang Chengran would have dealt with him long ago.
Lin Ruowei didn't want to be expelled from A-class school, especially if the Jiang family intervened; otherwise, she would become a laughing stock in high society.
Lin Ruowei was unwilling to accept it: "...What is it about me that I can't compare to her?"
Why does such a lowly, worthless lackey receive so much favor from so many people?
Jiang Chengran scoffed, as if mocking her for daring to compare herself to Ning Wanwan: "You're not even as good as a single hair on her head."
Lin Ruowei's confidence was repeatedly shattered by the people she was trying to seduce, while those she used to disregard were now being treated with great care. She endured it all, but at this point, she was finally on the verge of exploding.
Ughhhhhh, she's giving up on Jiang Chengran!!! She'll turn around and go find Jiang Yuyuan, the real head of the Jiang Group! So what if she hasn't been able to meet him after a few visits? She refuses to believe he's harder to seduce than this brat!!!
At this point, Lin Ruowei only saw attaching herself to the Jiang family as a stepping stone to a better life and a way to gain more wealth and status.
As the eldest daughter of the Lin family, who, like her father, was completely unaware of the changes in the world, that was all she could think of.
Having an information gap is a very sad thing for the ignorant party.
At that moment, Jiang Chengran suddenly dropped his casual attitude, stood up abruptly, and ignored even the shaking of the cockpit caused by his movement.
He stared intently at the slight tremors beneath his feet, his face serious and stern, seemingly looking at something.
"No, there's a problem here. We have to get off the Ferris wheel right away." Jiang Chengran took a step, but Ning Wanwan was still on it.
"Damn it," he cursed under his breath, his face turning frighteningly pale.
Lin Ruowei didn't know what was wrong with this young master Jiang, but she suddenly had a bad feeling.
The next second, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, and she let out a violent scream!
...
Ning Wanwan stared at the sensor for a while. The Ferris wheel was still turning. The cabin she was in had risen to its highest point. Looking out, everything below looked like ants, or like insignificant little toys.
"It's too high..."
Ning Wanwan felt a little dizzy. She dared not look any longer and quickly looked away, continuing to ponder, but she couldn't help but let this thought flash through her mind—
If you fall from here, you'll probably die a horrible death.
……etc
Ning Wanwan suddenly realized something and raised the sensor in her hand.
The frequency of the indicator light flashing has increased significantly again!
The source is right below!
Directly below is the bottom of the Ferris wheel, but when she came in through the gate, she didn't see anything unusual, otherwise Ning Wanwan wouldn't have needed to come up.
So... aside from that, all that's left is the ground... and beneath the ground...
If there's a problem below, it would be extremely dangerous for you to have an accident at this height!
Ning Wanwan suddenly looked up and turned her gaze to the outside of the cabin again. The Ferris wheel was turning too slowly, and Ning Wanwan had only just passed the highest point. She was getting extremely anxious.
"It can't be that much of a coincidence..."
Feeling a slight, unsettling tremor in the cockpit, Ning Wanwan's face paled as she tried to reassure herself.
Just then, a loud "boom" resounded—Ning Wanwan swore she had never heard such a huge explosion before, one that could almost knock a person unconscious!
But she couldn't care less about that now.
Because in that instant, peace was shattered, and the earth shook.
The sound of explosions became the background noise. The cockpit shattered, and Ning Wanwan fell from it, the whistling wind scraping past her ears like sharp blades.
She could only watch in horror as the ground drew ever closer.
Or perhaps it could no longer be called "ground" anymore; a huge chasm pierced through everything in sight, and the terrified screams of countless people who were almost swallowed by the chasm were incessant, but to no avail.
Struggle, panic, despair... it's like a beautiful and peaceful scene being lightly torn apart by the devil's hand, revealing a picture of hell.
Ning Wanwan had no way to hide. The dark, jagged crack in the ground was like a gaping maw of an abyss, waiting for Ning Wanwan to fall into it like a speck of dust.
Or perhaps it will be smashed into a pile of mud.
I feel like I've thought about a lot of things, but it also feels like I haven't thought about anything at all; my mind is completely blank.
Her fall only stopped when her hand was firmly grasped.
"Hey Ning Wanwan! Hold on tight!"
Ning Wanwan looked up and saw a vibrant, shimmering red.
She blinked slowly: "...Jiang, classmate."
Jiang Chengran gritted his teeth: "Yeah, it's me—be careful not to move, or you'll be done for!"
He himself could withstand some of the shock, but for an ordinary human body...
It will definitely not end well.
At this moment, Ning Wanwan finally had the opportunity to see the situation clearly.
The massive and sturdy Ferris wheel seemed to have been torn apart by some extremely powerful force, almost collapsing. Only the center of the axis could still be barely discerned as it was slowly falling over.
Jiang Chengran's cockpit, probably because of his presence, still maintained some fragmented protection. Jiang Chengran had one foot on the edge of the cockpit, while his other hand tightly gripped Ning Wanwan's hand.
Lin Ruowei seemed to be stunned by the violent and incomprehensible upheaval before her eyes. She was sitting slumped in the cockpit, muttering things like "What happened?" and "I can't die here."
However, Miss Lin has a strong will to survive. Although her eyes are glazed over, she still remembers to hold on tightly to the steel frame with both hands and doesn't let go. It seems that she won't be in any danger for the time being.
However, things are not so clear about Ning Wanwan's own situation...
She is currently suspended in mid-air, teetering on the verge of falling.
The crack below emanated a chilling aura, as if drawn by a gravitational pull, constantly pulling one downwards.
Even though Jiang Chengran gripped her hand tightly, he could only temporarily stop her falling.
Ning Wanwan pursed her lips, her eyes almost closed with sweat of fear, and the blinding sunlight made her dizzy.
Although she knew that something big would happen here today, the change was too big and too fast. Even though she had prepared herself, she was still caught off guard. Ning Wanwan even felt like she was in a movie.
Oh, that seems about right, this is the world of novels.
But it is also a real world.
The system said: [Host, if you fall, you will die.]
