Everything in this amusement park is small, including small airplanes, small trains, and bumper cars. It looks like a children's playground built for children. The only difference is the Ferris wheel. Although the cabins on the Ferris wheel are also small, the entire Ferris wheel is huge. It may be a bit exaggerated to say that it is towering into the sky, but it is not much different.
The other two also followed Xiao Yuan and looked up at the huge Ferris wheel. The huge Ferris wheel with small cabins was slowly rotating under the deep blue sky, looking dreamy and shocking.
"This is indeed not a normal world." said teammate No. 2.
"I saw this Ferris wheel at the door and planned to take a ride on it, but I fell asleep on the train. How many people can this Ferris wheel seat? You can see the horizon from the top." Teammate No. 1 exclaimed.
Teammate No. 2 was silent for a moment and looked at each cabin on the Ferris wheel.
Those that are too high up appear as a tiny dot, and the dark sky makes it even harder to see.
But as he looked from top to bottom, he could vaguely see human figures in several carriages. As the carriages slowly descended, those human figures became clearer. They were their colleagues!
"We really can't burn down the entire amusement park," said teammate number two.
The Ferris wheel had finished one rotation and was letting people get on. Although no one was on board, the responsible duck staff still opened the doors of the cabins one by one, checked them, and then closed them.
Not only did no one go up, but no one came down either. There was a cabin with someone in it that reached the bottom. The Little Duck staff opened the door for him, but the person did not come out. Instead, he waved his hand to indicate that he wanted to sit for another round.
"wait--"
As soon as Teammate No. 1 spoke, Teammate No. 2 covered his mouth and pulled him back, saying, "Can you get everyone on the Ferris wheel off at the same time? If not, don't say anything!"
Teammate No. 1 quickly nodded to show that he understood, and then No. 2 let him go.
"What should we do then?" Teammate No. 1 asked humbly.
Number Two looked at Xiao Yuan: "Brother Yuan, what should we do next?"
Xiao Yuan said, "Check each carriage to see if there are any ghosts inside."
Looking at the huge Ferris wheel, the two followed Xiao Yuan in without saying anything.
The Little Duck staff watched them approach and did not let them in. Instead, they stopped them at the platform for the upper carriage and said, "We have a rule that only two people can sit in one carriage."
"Is that so?" Xiao Yuan looked at the hanging box and showed a picky look of disdain, "I don't like the red one, I won't go, you go up first."
Teammate No. 1 who was called out:?
"I'll go with him." Teammate No. 2 pushed No. 1, "Let's go."
Number One looked back at Xiao Yuan, then followed Number Two with a confused look on his face.
With a click, the door of the compartment was closed and the two of them sat down on each side.
Teammate No. 1 seemed to want to say something, but Teammate No. 2 quickly spoke up to stop him: "I know what you want to say, but don't say it now."
Teammate No. 1 had to shut up when he thought of the fire on the train and bumper car. Their compartment was already rising slowly, and the door was locked from the outside. If a fire suddenly broke out now, they would not be able to escape.
Although he couldn't speak, teammate No. 1 still thought of a solution, which was to try to express his doubts with his eyes. He made a face at No. 2 and began to express: Didn't we agree to check whether there are ghosts in every car? How can we check it when we are on the Ferris wheel ourselves?
Number Two looked a little speechless, but he still spoke: "Your doubt is why I let you go on the Ferris wheel first. There is a Ferris wheel in the recommended route, and you have to ride it, so Brother Yuan let you ride first. Brother Yuan is being humble. I am sitting with you because I am afraid you will be lonely riding the Ferris wheel alone."
Teammate No. 1's face fell: "I suspect you are implying something to me."
"I still suggest you keep quiet. Look at how beautiful the scenery is between heaven and earth, this amusement park, this city...city?" Teammate No. 2 looked at the scenery under his feet and was stunned for a moment.
Although there were no lights on outside and the sky was not very bright, and the buildings looked like dark shadows, they, as native Hong Kong people, recognized the city at a glance. Outside the amusement park was Hong Kong!
The two looked at each other, and Number Two immediately covered Number One's mouth to prevent him from saying something weird and burning them to death on the Ferris wheel.
But when they looked at each other, they both revealed the same puzzled look: Is there such an amusement park in Hong Kong City?
And under the Ferris wheel, Xiao Yuan was talking to the Little Duck staff.
Behind the red compartment was an orange compartment. The little duck flapped its wings and opened the compartment door.
Xiao Yuan shook his head: "Orange, this color is too dazzling, I won't sit on it."
The duck staff had no choice but to close the door of the hanging compartment.
Next, there is a yellow hanging box.
Xiao Yuan made a sharp comment on this topic: "It can't involve pornography, don't you know?"
The duckling closed the compartment door.
Then, there is a green hanging box.
Xiao Yuan: "Although I haven't been in a relationship yet, I don't want to be cheated on."
Green hanging box.
Xiao Yuan: "I like this color, but the paint on the door is peeling, it's cheap, I won't sit in it."
blue.
Xiao Yuan: "It looks too cold and boring. I will feel even more lonely if I sit alone. I won't sit here."
Purple.
Xiao Yuan: "I'm not gay."
Next, the color returned to red, and the resentment of the duck staff was almost condensed into substance. Xiao Yuan could see black gas coming out of the doll's costume.
Xiao Yuan: "Is your service so bad? You give people a cold shoulder when customers pick on you?"
The little duck seemed stunned for a moment, then immediately narrowed its eyes, smiled, and opened the red carriage door for him.
Xiao Yuan didn't give any reason and said directly: "Pass."
Just like that, he stood here and walked through the entire Ferris wheel carriage. When he saw someone inside, he stood behind the little duck and let the bloated duck doll block him. He could observe the people in the carriage from behind the little duck. The people in the carriage were already in a confused state after being bewildered, and almost no one looked at him. After a circle, no one got off the carriage, and no one noticed him.
When they turned to the red carriage where teammates No. 1 and No. 2 were sitting, Xiao Yuan reluctantly said to the Little Duck staff in front of No. 1's shocked gaze: "Forget it, let's take this one. My friend has been in it before, so I'll reluctantly accept it."
The little duck immediately sent him up happily, and even waved its paws in a happy shape.
Teammate No. 1 looked even more confused, and Teammate No. 2 acted decisively and pulled No. 1 out of the Ferris wheel venue.
When they got outside, No. 1 breathed a sigh of relief. He could finally speak, so he asked a question he was very curious about: "How long did it take us to go around this circle?"
Teammate No. 2 thought for a moment and said, "For such a large circle, it will take two hours."
"Two hours." Teammate No. 1 seemed a little melancholy. "You said the time here is the same as the time outside? I always feel a little embarrassed. I talked to other teams before coming in. They are all in dire straits. It's not a good idea for us to just sit here and play on the Ferris wheel, right?"
This sentence made teammate No. 2 a little silent. He said, "You should first think about how the ghosts will eat you if you can't get out. Instead of thinking about those things, you should worry about yourself."
"Ah." Teammate No. 1 sighed, "Really, it feels like we're too relaxed. Everything here seems strange. Forget it, let's analyze the information we have now. First, we saw the outside world on the Ferris wheel. This is the port city..."
"Yes, I don't know what the relationship is between Hong Kong City and this amusement park. I have patrolled every area in Hong Kong City, and I am very sure that there is no such amusement park in Hong Kong City. Even if we don't look at this Ferris wheel, there is no such amusement park."
"Is this ghost from Hong Kong?"
"It's possible."
…
The two analyzed for a long time. The sky was still getting light and they didn't know how much time had passed. During this time, they looked at the communication equipment in their hands. The time on them stopped at the moment they entered this space.
When the two of them ran out of things to say, Xiao Yuan finally came over from the other side of the Ferris wheel and shook his head at them: "No."
The two asked him, "Did you see what it looked like outside from the Ferris wheel?"
Xiao Yuan was not a local, and it was too dark, so he could not see the landmark building clearly. He could only see an outline. He looked at the expressions of the two people and made a guess: "Is it Hong Kong City?"
The two nodded.
Xiao Yuan frowned and thought for a moment, then made a decision: "Go to the next project."
Teammate No. 1 immediately began to express the question that had just been discussed: "Brother Yuan, is it possible that this ghost is not a person? I mean, he does not appear in the form of a person in this amusement park. He could be a car, the entire Ferris wheel, or the entire amusement park... or maybe just a trash can on the side of the road, or even a plastic bottle in the trash can?"
Xiao Yuan nodded: "It's possible."
"Do we need to conduct a carpet search?" Teammate number one was about to cry.
Xiao Yuan: "Let's start with the people first, and find them before the people on the Ferris wheel wake up on their own initiative."
The atmosphere between the three people suddenly became heavy. They also understood that if one person on the Ferris wheel suddenly woke up and began to doubt the world, the entire Ferris wheel would catch fire, and it would be difficult for the people still inside to survive.
"Let's split up." Xiao Yuan took out the flyer distributed at the door and pointed to several projects. "You go to the Little Swan Cruise, the slide, the pirate ship, and the spinning teacup. These are together. You go to the roller coaster, the big pendulum, and the high swing. You don't have to play them. I don't know if you will get into trouble if you don't follow this order. You just watch outside. I will continue to play according to the recommended order. Finally, we will meet at the entrance of the amusement park."
The two nodded.
Before they parted, Xiao Yuan specifically told me: "Don't talk too much."
Teammate No. 1 immediately understood and started to act separately.
After they separated, they moved much faster, especially teammates No. 1 and No. 2. They did not play but just observed and recorded from outside. When the Little Duck staff came up to ask, they waved their hands to indicate that they were not very interested and just wanted to watch.
Although the Little Duck staff stared at them with strange eyes, both of them forced themselves to remain calm and did not let the Little Duck staff make any other moves.
All the timing devices were stopped, so they didn't know how much time had passed. Teammates No. 1 and No. 2 arrived at the entrance of the amusement park one after another, and waited at the entrance for a long time before they saw Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan still had the flyer in his hand. He looked at the flyer as he walked over, and his expression didn't look very good.
They asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Yuan showed them the flyer in his hand. The recommended route map on it had changed. At the same time, there was an extra line of words at the top of the recommended route map: "Thank you for your support of the amusement park! Come play again, this time the route will be more fun!"
The three of them were silent.
Teammate No. 1 scratched his head and said, "So we got nothing after playing around?"
Teammate No. 2 said: "There is no gain from listening to the ghost, it will only get you deeper and deeper into trouble!"
At this time, teammate No. 1 keenly noticed that there was blood on the leaflet, and it was still fresh. He looked at Xiao Yuan's calm expression and said, "Did you kill a duck?"
Xiao Yuan showed his arm. There was a wound on it, but it had been simply treated. "No, I just stabbed myself to stay awake. After staying here for a long time, it is easy to forget what you are doing here. This amusement park wants to keep us here."
"We've discussed this just now, and we haven't seen any ghosts in those rides that look more like ghosts than ducks, so should we start searching the trash cans now?" said teammate number one.
Teammate No. 2 also said: "Brother Yuan, what should we do next?"
“If following the rules doesn’t work, try another approach.”
While No. 1 and No. 2 were still wondering about the method, they saw Xiao Yuan slap the flyer on No. 1 and walk towards the Little Duck staff at the door.
Then, the two saw that Xiao Yuan said something to the little duck, and the little duck suddenly became seriously ill, its face began to change, sharp teeth grew in its mouth, and its wings turned into rows of saw teeth.
Xiao Yuan stretched out his hands very quickly and quickly dealt with the mutant duck. The duck doll costume lay on the ground, and as expected, there was no one inside, only a ball of black cotton wool.
Xiao Yuan fell into thought again, and No. 1 and No. 2 were watching him think beside him.
"Do we need to kill all the ducks in the amusement park?" Xiao Yuan asked.
Teammate No. 2 quickly stopped him: "It's okay for you to kill the one at the door, but the ones guarding the rides inside must not move!"
"That's right," Xiao Yuan sighed with a look of regret, "If we kill him, we'll burn him. If we burn him, he'll die."
Teammate No. 2 thought his idea was very dangerous and immediately proposed an idea: "Have you ever thought that maybe the problem is not in this amusement park? The lights in this amusement park are not on, and neither are the lights outside. So this ghost world may be the entire port city outside, not just this amusement park. It's just that we came in right at the entrance of the amusement park, so naturally we think that the problem is in this amusement park. Maybe if we go in another direction, we can find the problem."
Teammate No. 1 immediately started to speak: "Do we need to search the entire port city? No!"
"Let's go out and take a look first." Xiao Yuan said.
With Xiao Yuan's order, the three of them started to walk out. There was an open shop a few steps away from the door. It was the shop where teammate No. 1 bought water before entering the door.
There was still no light in the store, so it was a little dark, but one could still see clearly that an old woman was running the store. She looked very old, but had a kind face. When she saw them coming, she looked at them with a smile.
Teammate number two whispered, "This is the first person we've met. Could she be a ghost?"
Xiao Yuan said, "Just go over and ask and you'll know."
After saying that, Xiao Yuan walked over first, and teammates number one and number two quickly followed.
Xiao Yuan first went to the cupboard to get a bottle of water, then asked her mother-in-law, "Grandma, how long have you been running the store here?"
Grandma smiled and said, "It's free. The amusement park next door has informed me that anyone who goes there can get a bottle of water for free."
Xiao Yuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you, mother-in-law."
The old woman continued, "I have been doing business here for decades. Young man, do you have any questions about life?"
"Has anything strange happened in the amusement park next door?" Xiao Yuan asked directly without any further ado.
The old woman shook her head. "They've been open for so many years, and the kids love it. If there's anything strange, it's probably because it's too popular, right?"
Xiao Yuan said, "Didn't they just open? They are promoting their opening, how come they have been open for many years?"
The old woman's kind smile suddenly froze. She turned her head and stared at Xiao Yuan. This time she repeated in a calm tone, "They have been open for so many years, and children like it very much. If there is anything strange, it's probably that they are too popular."
Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "I see. I remembered it wrongly. It has been open for many years. I also liked to come here when I was a kid."
The old woman's stiff gaze disappeared, and she returned to her loving look: "Yes, it's been so many years."
Xiao Yuan did not ask any more questions. He walked out of the store with regret and shook his head at No. 1 and No. 2: "It's not her."
Then, Xiao Yuan began to explain: "When I was in the amusement park, I found that this world has some bugs. For example, we are not here to play, and there is no one in the duck doll costume. As long as we point out these bugs, the things involved in these bugs will collapse."
Teammate No. 1 said, "So that's why the train and bumper cars caught fire, and why the duck at the door suddenly turned into a killer duck?"
"Yes." Xiao Yuan continued, "The old lady just now also had a bug. In her mind, the amusement park had been open for a long time, but the amusement park was promoting its opening today. When I mentioned this, she started to panic. I wasn't sure what happened to her panic, so in order to save energy, I changed the way I explained it and stopped her panic."
At this point, Teammate No. 2 looked at them and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Teammate No. 1 touched his stomach and said, "I'm very hungry, but I dare not eat. I also feel very tired and sleepy, but I dare not sleep. The last time I felt this tired, I encountered a ghost during the night shift and I spent the whole night catching ghosts."
"It seems that if we can't find a way out, we will starve to death here." said teammate No. 2.
Xiao Yuan looked towards the dark harbor city and said to them, "Let's go and take a look outside."
