"Holy crap!" He Xin cursed and turned to run, but Hua Xing Hui grabbed her. "Big sister, those are all props. Don't be scared!"
I knew He Xin was faking it. She quickly recovered. Those corpses simply passed by us without doing anything.
I checked and found the corpses were made of plastic. After they passed, Hua Xing Hui led us onward.
My back started aching from carrying the corpses for so long, so I had to put them down to rest. Hua Xing Hui took us to a lakeside, still within the haunted house area, but there were a few arch bridges and a pavilion nearby.
Looking at the flowing water, I immediately understood. This must be imitating the Bridge of Forgetfulness in hell. Even though it was fake, it looked quite convincing. I had to admire the technology these days.
We fumbled through the mist and rested in the pavilion for a bit until my back felt better. We moved on. After crossing the "Bridge of Forgetfulness," we took a water route, which made me suddenly feel as if the tourist area had been condensed here.
Because there was another strange boat, Hua Xing Hui said, "This must be imitating the River of Forgetfulness. After we cross here, it seems there's some way out. My sister and I haven't been there before, but hopefully, we can leave the amusement park!" wap.kanshu伍.net
"Let's hope so!" I boarded the boat with them, full of anticipation. Honestly, the boat was designed quite realistically. As we sat on it, it swayed gently. The water around us was incredibly murky, and a lot of mist swirled around us. We could even see the stars above, but that was definitely special effects.
As the boat sailed halfway, I felt something moving in the water. He Xin couldn't help but pick up an iron fork from the boat and become vigilant.
"Don't be nervous, big sister. Those are just loaches. I was scared before too, but my sister comforted me, and it was fine," Hua Xing Hui said, mentioning his sister multiple times. He couldn't help but become sad again. I comforted him a few words, and our boat had already docked.
Upon disembarking, He Xin sighed with relief and said, "I felt so heavy just now, and my clothes were all wet. We shouldn't play in this kind of haunted house again!"
"Haha, it's not because of this time... we don't have time for that!" I almost revealed the mission but quickly changed my words.
"Big brother, big sister, there's a way out over there!"
"Are you sure it's not a path you've taken before?" I questioned.
"I haven't been that way. I remember when I was with my sister, we should have taken the right path!"
Seeing Hua Xing Hui's serious expression, I figured he wasn't lying, so I followed him in that direction, and He Xin did too.
We entered a corridor that looked like a tunnel and moved quickly. None of us wanted to stay in such a dark, sunless place. I suddenly noticed, with so many passages here, wouldn't this also be imitating the channels for reincarnation in the underworld?
Actually, I couldn't help but want to praise the designer of this haunted house. We continued walking and indeed found a faint light coming from not far away. But leaving the haunted house wouldn't be enough; our goal was to leave the amusement park.
After passing through a door, I found that outside was indeed no longer the amusement park. Looking back, the Ferris wheel was far away. For some reason, we all felt a bit disappointed.
Hua Xing Hui lowered his head, looking sad. "I really want to cry!"
"Don't be sad. Let's hurry back. We still need to save people!" I said. He Xin also mustered her courage. We originally intended to find Du Qi Tai, but unexpectedly, we ran into this child again. We had no choice but to take him with us.
We returned to the cold storage room and found Xiao Yuan De asleep. Hearing our footsteps, he suddenly sat up. Seeing the corpses behind me, he said, "What happened to you guys?"
"Uncle..." He Xin told Xiao Yuan De about our recent experiences. Xiao Yuan De angrily said, "This Du Qi Tai! Leave the corpses for now. I'll lock this place up. I don't have time to watch the corpses, or everyone will be in trouble!"
"Yeah, let's focus on saving people first!" I said.
After we put the corpses away, Xiao Yuan De found a chain from somewhere and fiercely locked the cold storage room door. Then he left with us.
We headed towards the central office. On a small boat, we maintained speed and soon saw a very strange building standing on a platform in the middle.
Several peculiar Roman columns were erected there, topped with unusually colored bricks, and numerous attics were distributed around. Two steel soldiers stood guard at the entrance, crouching with shields. The entire office building exuded a medieval aura.
There were many streams of water flowing around, and a swimming pool in front. Several stone statues of beasts stood in the water, being washed by countless streams. The sky had already become very dim. We saw a faint light emanating from the upper floors of the office building. Judging by the building's exterior, it should have over a dozen floors.
In this quiet tourist area, it was considered quite tall. We walked towards the entrance. Xiao Yuan De said cautiously, "Don't rush. Let me scout ahead first!"
Saying that, Xiao Yuan De picked up a stone from the ground and threw it directly at the office window!
With a loud bang, the glass shattered. But there was no reaction from inside. Logically, if someone's property was smashed, the owner would be furious and come out to demand compensation. Yet, there was no movement at all.
Xiao Yuan De didn't bother anymore. He led us across the swimming pool, kicked open a door, and went inside.
We saw an elevator not far away, but there was no power at all. Xiao Yuan De went to the elevator and pressed the buttons several times. "It doesn't work. We'll have to take the stairs!"
Hua Xing Hui complained, "It's so high, won't it be tiring?"
"If you're tired, why not come onto my shoulders?" Xiao Yuan De kindly offered.
"Thank you, uncle. My sister said I shouldn't accept help from just anyone!" Hua Xing Hui pouted and walked upstairs by himself. I followed him and pulled him along, saying, "Don't rush. It's dangerous here. I'm here to find the boss!"
Xiao Yuan De and He Xin then caught up. After walking up a flight of stairs, we heard what sounded like people chatting upstairs, and we immediately became nervous. Xiao Yuan De made a shushing gesture and led the way. When we reached the second floor, we found that it didn't look like an office at all. Instead, it resembled a residential unit. A television was placed in the living room, with sofas and several potted plants in front of it. Additionally, many display cabinets were placed around the room, filled with antique-like decorations. On the television, a very bizarre movie was playing. The content of the movie was exactly what had happened to us in the cinema earlier! At that moment, my terrified face was clearly reflected on the screen!
