Chapter 22 Appearance
The amusement park was as quiet as a cemetery in the early morning. All the rides were shut down and motionless, as if dead, in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of last night.

Everything was completely silent, not even the sound of a gentle breeze could be heard.

A chilly atmosphere filled the entire amusement park, as if death and silence had become tangible.

"It feels like we are the dead." Zhou Yuan exhaled a breath, which actually turned into white mist in the air.

Night is the stage for ghosts, and the amusement park is bustling with hospitality;

While daytime is people’s playground, the amusement park is lifeless and cold like a corpse.

Life and death, yin and yang, humans and ghosts... the whole world seemed to be strangely turned upside down.

Is this abnormal?

Zhou Yuan turned his gaze to a shop on the roadside. The shop was in a mess, with shelves tilted to one side and a large number of stuffed dolls scattered all over the floor, trampled beyond recognition, and the food section was empty.

But when he passed by here last night, he clearly remembered that it was very cozy inside, the goods were arranged in an orderly manner, and the food area was also full of variety.

It seems that there are indeed many differences between amusement parks during the day and at night.

Soon, the group arrived in front of the carousel, and a prompt popped up in front of Zhou Yuan:

[An ordinary amusement facility, nothing unusual can be seen - I'm kidding.

This carousel has a unique personality. It is only willing to carry those innocent, cute and childlike children because it likes the pure and innocent spiritual world of children.

The spiritual world of adults has long been corroded by this filthy world, and their hearts are no longer pure. If they sit on it, it will become furious. 】

Only children of pure hearts can ride?
Zhou Yuan subconsciously looked around at everyone. Among all the people, the one who could be called a child...

It seems like it's just me?!

Zhou Yuan's expression suddenly became strange. It was not that he was pretending to be young, because he seemed to be the youngest in this group of people.

Even Bai Xiao, who looks like a high school student, is actually over 25 years old.

But he was only considered a "kid" among the group and certainly didn't meet the requirements to ride the carousel.

Do I have to catch a little ghost?
"Did you find out anything with your wonderful tool?" Chen Guangxi asked.

"This carousel seems to hate adults. It should... be for children."

Zhou Yuan pretended to frown and thought for a long time before saying, "We don't have any children here, how about we catch a kid and tie him up tonight and try it out?"

Chen Guangxi sighed, "Are you serious? Those kids are not orphans. They all have parents. Once a kid goes missing, the parents will seek help from the park staff. Those staff are the guardians of the park's rules and are very powerful."

Hearing this, Zhou Yuan knew that they must have tried this method before, but the results did not seem to be very good.

"And I was just a child, but after I sat on it, the killing pattern was still triggered," Chen Guangxi added.

Zhou Yuan suddenly felt like he had seen a ghost.

伱？
child?

"Damn, don't look at me like that. I'm only three hundred years old. I'm still young." Chen Guangxi rolled his eyes.

Three hundred years old... Zhou Yuan's eyes twitched. The immortals have a different concept of lifespan.

"Let's go see the roller coaster and the Ferris wheel."

The roller coaster was not far from the carousel, and the group reached their destination in two or three minutes.

Zhou Yuan looked at the roller coaster parked at the starting point.

[Don't be fooled by the surface appearance of things. This roller coaster looks like a roller coaster, but in fact, it is a ghost disguised as a roller coaster.

I must remind you: destroying amusement park facilities will attract the park's security, so killing it is not realistic.

Again, you can look through your backpack. 】

An evil ghost disguised as a roller coaster... Zhou Yuan suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the investigators had difficulty finding the killing pattern of the roller coaster, because it was not a mechanically operated facility, but an evil ghost that killed people without any pattern at all, completely randomly.

As for looking through the backpack... this means that there are props in the backpack that can help you pass the level. What sausages are they?
Zhou Yuan gradually came up with an idea. Roasted sausages are food for ghosts. Maybe he could use this thing to distract the evil ghost on the roller coaster and make it give up killing people temporarily.

"What did you see this time?" Chen Guangxi asked again.

Zhou Yuan shook his head: "It's hard to say, let's test it in the evening."

Afterwards, the group arrived at the foot of the Ferris wheel.

[Again, don't be fooled by the superficial phenomena of things. On the surface, this looks like a Ferris wheel, but in fact, it is the source of the abnormality of the Happy Castle Amusement Park.

To pass this project, you have to go through a fatal test of your mind. 】

The source of the paradise's anomaly?

Zhou Yuan's attention was instantly drawn to it, and he looked at the Ferris wheel carefully, but no matter how he looked at it, he could not see anything strange; it was just an ordinary Ferris wheel.

Maybe wait till night?
That’s not right. The Ferris wheel looked like this last night as well.

Zhou Yuan repeatedly pondered the hint given by the Eye of Appraisal, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.

"——You can only see the true face of the Ferris wheel after entering the director's office?"

If collecting the key fragments and entering the director's office are considered the first stage of the task, then what is triggered after entering the director's office is the second stage of the task, which is to reveal the truth about the park's abnormality.

And now the Eye of Identification has given another hint - the Ferris wheel is the source of the anomaly.

So this conjecture is reasonable.

Zhou Yuan immediately looked towards a building in the distance:
"I want to take another look at the door of the principal's office."

A few minutes later.

Zhou Yuan and his group arrived at the door of the amusement park director's office.

"If you want to use your ability to go through the wall, then give up. We have tried all the methods. Doors, walls, windows, ceilings, floors, all are protected by a layer of mysterious power." Chen Guangxi reminded.

[This room hides the secret you want to know, but you need a key to open it. And, what the big car beauty said is right. ]

"That's fine, let's go."

The hints given by the Eye of Identification are useless, so there is no need to stay here any longer.

After returning to the base, Gu Honggao found Zhou Yuan and asked, "What do you think about tonight?"

Zhou Yuan pondered for a moment:

"Let's try the merry-go-round tonight."

He said as he looked at Chen Guangxi who was standing beside him with blank eyes, "Let her go."

"what?"

Chen Guangxi was like Benboerba who heard "You go get rid of Tang Monk and his disciples". He was full of confusion and pointed at himself: "Me?"

"Aren't you a child? Then you have to go ahead." Zhou Yuan Xiaoxiong spread his hands.

"But I tried it once before, and it still triggered the killing rule."

"That's because I wasn't here. You should listen to my instructions this time."

"Wow, you are so confident. How sure are you?"

"The secret cannot be leaked."

Zhou Yuan pretended to be profound, but in fact he had no idea what he was talking about.

I can only wait until tonight to verify it.

　I attended a friend's engagement party today and came back in the afternoon. I went home and slept until the evening. I don't have time to write, so I'll update it first~
