Chapter 31
It was difficult to divide the cake on the Ferris wheel, so Gu Hongying put the cake with the candles blown out back into the box, tied the beautiful ribbon on it again, and then stuffed it into An Jiajia's hands: "Let's have it as a midnight snack when we get home!"
After reaching the highest point, the Ferris wheel began to descend. When it was still four or five meters from the ground, the entire Ferris wheel suddenly shook and stopped. Through the iron sheet and glass, screams could be heard from other cars.
Gu Hongying looked at Yu Tu subconsciously.
Yu Tu: “……?”
Before he could ask anything, they suddenly felt the Ferris wheel shake again, as if something heavy was hitting it.
Lu Yayin took out a talisman from her bag and lit it with a lighter. The talisman turned into a mixture of light red and light white smoke, which floated out of the window she had just opened and floated to the highest point of the Ferris wheel.
Lu Yayin lit the Questioning Talisman, which, as the name suggests, is a talisman that can simply reveal the cause. If the problem is with the device itself, the smoke should be black. But now the smoke is two colors, light red represents the demon race, and light white represents the human race. The problem is not with the device.
Lu Yayin wailed: "How can I come across a mission just to play?"
Whenever an incident related to the inner world occurs, the nearby teams without any tasks will handle it on the spot. Now that something has happened to the Ferris wheel, they are the closest team.
Focus on the task at hand.
Lu Yayin turned to look at Qin Fei.
Qin Fei: “…”
The smile slowly disappeared from his face: "Give me the invisibility charm."
Lu Yayin slapped several high-level concealment talismans into his palm with heartache. The level of the concealment talisman is calculated according to the area that needs to be hidden. The larger the area that needs to be hidden, the higher the level of the talisman required.
The door of the compartment they were in opened and then quickly closed, and Qin Fei's figure disappeared.
Gu Hongying was a little worried: "Is Brother Qin okay?"
"Don't worry, Qin Fei went to Kunlun as an exchange student for two years." Lu Yayin comforted him, "The people above are the demon tribe, there is no one more suitable than him."
While they were talking, the Ferris wheel shook again. People with psychic powers have more sensitive ears and they could hear the screams around them becoming more intense.
About ten minutes later, the stagnant Ferris wheel began to turn slowly. Every car landed on the ground, and the people inside ran out as if they were fleeing. More and more people got out of the Ferris wheel, and the Ferris wheel staff were also surrounded.
The sounds of police cars and ambulances rushed to the outside of the park.
Someone called the police as soon as the Ferris wheel accident happened. Fortunately, everyone in the Ferris wheel got off safely, so it was considered a safe bet.
They went against the flow of the angry crowd and found Qin Fei standing in the corner with an expressionless face. There was a little bruise on Qin Fei's cheekbone. Next to him stood a man and a woman. The man's right cheek was swollen and there was a big bruise on the left forehead. The woman was fine, but her eyes were red and she looked extremely devastated.
When the two got down from the Ferris wheel, Qin Fei stood behind them with an invisibility talisman and brought them to this corner.
"What's going on?" Lu Yayin was a little confused. "Which one of you is human? Who is the monster?"
The woman with red eyes burst into tears at her question: "I am a demon, wuwuwuwuwu——"
"This is not the place to talk." Qin Fei coughed lightly, "Let's find a quiet place where no one is around to talk. Emotional issues are quite complicated."
Although the demon race is already commonplace in the inner world, the people in the outer world... I'm afraid it will still be difficult for them to accept it, right?
Many youth pain literature and hateful TV series rushed through other people's minds.
With curiosity in their hearts, they found a hidden corner. Qin Fei looked at them coldly and asked, "Who of you will speak first?"
"Let me speak first." The man with a swollen face and a blue forehead sighed, "My name is Murong Fu, she is my fiancée Lu Susu, and I was going to propose to her on the Ferris wheel today."
Lu Yayin whispered: "Is he too excited about the proposal...so he revealed his true form?"
Murong Fu showed an embarrassed look on his face: "No, Su Su was a little too excited when she heard that I was going to propose to her."
"Yes." Qin Fei rubbed the bruises on his face and said coldly, "She was so excited that when I got to the carriage where you were, she grabbed your neck and punched and kicked you, wishing you would die on the spot. I pulled you two apart and you punched me back."
"I don't care if you two are in love———" Qin Fei's eyes fell on Lu Susu, "The first rule of the inner world barrier is that you cannot affect the lives of ordinary people, and you cannot endanger the safety of ordinary people."
"I know I was wrong. I was just too angry when I heard him propose..." Lu Susu looked very innocent, and when she cried she looked as beautiful as a pear blossom in the rain. "I didn't mean to violate the first barrier law..."
"No." Gu Hongying said in confusion, wearing a wolf-ear hairpin that looked like the lights of a disco. "If you have any deep hatred, you can settle it privately. This is the tallest Ferris wheel in the amusement park. If we weren't here today, you would have caused a serious safety accident!"
Aren’t ordinary people’s lives lives anymore?
Lu Susu's face was full of tears: "I am willing to go back to the inner world to accept punishment. You can take me away. I don't want to see him for a second!"
"Su Su." Murong Fu grabbed her arm and said, "What will I do if you leave? I am sincere to you. I don't mind that you are a fox!"
He took out a square velvet box from his pocket and opened it. Inside was a beautiful diamond ring. He knelt on one knee, stared at Su Su, and said affectionately: "Su Su, after all these years, I finally realized that it is you I love. Will you marry me?"
This cross-species love was very touching at first glance, but after hearing what he said, Luo Susu's human-like pupils suddenly turned into pointed vertical pupils, and fox ears and a tail began to appear faintly on her head and behind her body, and she looked extremely furious.
"Who's going to marry you? You're a shaky-minded, love-minded idiot!" Her nail polish began to flicker with the tips of her nails. "I've begged you so many times in the past few months to let me be with your sweetheart! How could you fall in love with someone else!"
She shook off Murong Fu's hand, and the same frustration began to reappear on her face: "How am I still like her? I'll change! Isn't it okay for me to change!"
The amount of information revealed in this passage was so great that Gu Hongying and the people around him were confused.
The more Su Su spoke, the more sad and upset she became. She stared at Murong Fu, her fingers bent, her nails turned into sharp claws, and she grabbed directly at his neck. After the claws scratched a layer of bloody skin on his neck, a black whip wrapped around her wrist, and the other end of the whip was in the hands of a girl with long straight black bangs and a lip stud.
"Finally found it!" The girl wielding the whip panted a little, "Luo Susu! Put away your beastly nature, do you still want to kill people?"
Her hands were restrained, and her rationality temporarily overwhelmed her animal instincts. She turned her head to the side and asked, "Lily?"
The girl called "Lily" whipped her and pulled her back a few steps: "Calm down—"
Before she finished her words, several powerful flashlights illuminated the remote woods. When everyone was blinded by the sudden bright light, a loud voice that was obviously used through a loudspeaker shouted: "Don't move. Put your hands up!"
The person who was shouting was wearing a police uniform, and behind him were several armed policemen, who were raising their weapons and pointing them in their direction.
"We received reports from the public that a group of people took advantage of the chaos to extort victims who got off the Ferris wheel." He looked at Murong Fu, who was sitting on the ground with a bruised face, and then saw Lu Susu, whose hands were tied with a whip and whose face was covered with tears. He then looked at the men and women gathered around him, and his brows furrowed deeper and deeper. "Take them all away!"

They spent a lot of effort in the police station to prove that they were not blackmailing innocent people, but were interrogating the culprit who caused the Ferris wheel accident. Moreover, this incident was of a special nature, so they applied for transfer and the transfer was successful. Only then were they able to escape from the police station late at night.
What was supposed to be a wonderful trip to the amusement park ended in such a chaos.
Walking on the almost deserted road, the culprit Lu Susu hung her head in despair. Beside her, Yin Li was scolding her angrily: "I told you a long time ago that whether in the inner world or the outer world, you have to rely on yourself to cultivate!"
"To tie your own cultivation to the status of others is simply a crooked path!" She twisted the whip around her wrist, "Look at what kind of shit you are cultivating, the Way of Forgetfulness? I'll forget you!"
"Did you read too many otherworldly novels when you were a kid: the domineering boss has a crush on his lover, who goes abroad to find a stand-in who looks similar to him as solace, and then finds herself falling in love with the stand-in. You want to do the opposite, make the domineering boss abandon the stand-in, and finally make yourself grow an extra tail by forgetting your love?"
Yin Li was simply incredulous: "Who told you to practice like this!!!"
"I was wrong, I was wrong, I was really wrong!" Su Su cried, "I don't know why I can't think straight..."
After today, she felt that she was not so confused anymore. Looking back on her own behavior, she had an incredible feeling, as if she was possessed by someone and made such an absurd decision in a daze.
When she was studying at Chang'an Academy, she clearly remembered that she had already made up her mind to rely on herself for cultivation, not to rely on external things, and not to pin her hopes of cultivation on others... Why? Why did it suddenly become like this?
Lu Susu tried hard to recall, but her memory felt increasingly empty.
As Yin Li was talking, the people next to her suddenly fell silent. She turned around and saw that the fox ears on Lu Susu's head and the fox tail behind her were flashing back and forth between reality and illusion. This was a sign of unstable transformation.
"Calm down! Focus!" Yin Li slapped her between the eyebrows, "Don't let your imagination run wild!"
Lu Susu tried hard to calm herself, but the more anxious she was, the more she couldn't find a way. Finally, she turned into a two-tailed red fox with a "bang".
The red fox squatted on the ground, its two tails swaying behind it, staring at Yin Li with its beautiful eyes, and uttered a wronged sound—"Ying."
Yin Li: “…”
The girl with long black straight bangs and lip piercing felt a little hopeless.
Because they obviously had something to say after leaving the police station, Meng Ziqiu and the others just followed Yin Li and Lu Susu from a distance and didn't listen to their conversation. But when they saw one of them inexplicably turned into a fox, they knew that something serious had happened.
The first condition that all living beings that can come from the inner world to the outer world must meet is that they must either always appear in their original form or always appear in human form. They must never change their form in public.
Once discovered, severe punishment will be imposed and no loans will be granted.
Luo Susu turned into a red fox in public. Even though there were almost no people on this road, there were still many follow-up events to deal with.
Special Team 7 just felt overwhelmed.
Murong Fu had just signed the confidentiality agreement at the police station, and the subsequent compensation still needed to be negotiated. Lu Susu was charged with damaging public facilities and attempted murder, and was to be punished in the inner world. Now, she had violated Article 10 of the Barrier First Level Law in front of them...
Lu Yayin wailed, "It's over! I have to work overtime!"
Meng Ziqiu started making phone calls to report the incident and asked someone to handle the roadside surveillance.
Qin Fei sighed, took out his cell phone and contacted members of the nearby fox tribe, asking them to not only come to pick up Lu Susu, but also find someone with weight to handle Lu Susu's subsequent events.
Gu Hongying, Yu Tu and An Jiajia walked forward and blocked the red fox with two tails on the ground.
Yin Li took off her coat, picked up the red fox, and then wrapped her two conspicuous tails.
Lu Susu, who had transformed into a red fox, rested his head weakly on Yin Li's shoulder and said in pain: "I can't remember why I did this..."
"You will be sentenced to at least five years in prison for all three crimes." Yin Li said coldly, "You can take your time to think about it."
Su Su: “…”
"I feel like my brain has been short-circuited for the past two years, and I just woke up today———" Lu Susu wailed softly, and then she sniffed around, "Huh? I smell the same smell I smelled when I was about to kill Murong Fu."
"It's this smell that keeps me awake. Otherwise, your whip might not be able to stop me." The red fox's nose twitched. "It seems to be the smell of trees, a bit like... tea?"
Her eyes fell on Yu Tu, who was several steps away from her. She saw the little bud hidden behind the plush rabbit ear headband. The red fox blinked her beautiful eyes:
"I must be seeing things. Why is there a young plant race cub here?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Tu suddenly felt a cold sweat on his back.
It was not because the red fox's beastly vertical pupils were staring at him, but because after the red fox's gaze turned away, he felt another pair of gazes.
———It wasn’t Red Fox’s, or even anyone standing around him.
My heart was beating rapidly in my chest. The energy that had been exhausted in the old building and then slowly recovered suddenly increased significantly.
At this moment, he heard a "ding" sound, which was the special reminder tone he set for his mobile phone—
Comic Website X, "Shan Hai Zhi Yu" has been updated.
If his previous guess was correct, then this meant...
The comic thinks that there is enough material.
