Ch47 - (2) Buying Tickets

In the bus, Chu Huai looked at Luo Ziyang and Ye Yuan who were chatting and laughing in front of him, thoughtfully, leaned into Jin Tianyi’s ear and whispered: “Under what circumstances can ghosts know people, but people don’t know ghosts?”

This question had been on his mind these two days. It was obvious that Ye Yuan had known Luo Ziyang before, but this was the first time Luo Ziyang had met Ye Yuan.

Jin Tianyi paused, Chu Huai’s sharp gaze wandered over his face, not letting go of his micro-expressions.

Jin Tianyi didn’t expect Chu Huai to be so sensitive, he responded half truthfully: “Maybe they were lovers at first? Then Ye Yuan died in an accident, Luo was in pain, and his body was forced to selectively forget Ye Yuan?”

Chu Huai smiled: “Hou can that be?”

Ye Yuan’s ears twitched in the front row, and sadness flashed across his eyes. If it was really what Jin Tianyi said, Luo Ziyang would at least have the possibility of recovering his memory, but… it would never be possible.

“Hey!” Luo Ziyang grabbed Ye Yuan’s shoulder and asked in confusion, “Why are you in a daze? Wasn’t my dirty joke funny?” 

The bus shuttled in the dark, and the newcomer suddenly appeared. Chu Huai got up slightly and looked forward. 

“So many?” Luo Ziyang was also surprised, “Usually, this would be a third-level instance.” 

The newcomers were still asleep, Jin Tianyi said: “Did you notice that the two seats sitting side by side are a man and a woman.”

Chu Huai counted, in addition to the six of them from the apartment, there were twelve newcomers consisting of six men and six women, for a total of eighteen people.

Jin Tianyi turned his gaze to their left side. The sleeping girl rested her head on the boy’s shoulder, and the two were wearing couples outfits.

Luo Ziyang clicked his tongue softly: “Are couples dressed so unrestrained now?” 

On the back of the boy’s clothes was a green cucumber pattern, while on the back of the girl’s clothes was a golden flower.

Luo Ziyang wondered: “…No, why is it a chrysanthemum?”

Jin Tianyi looked at him with strange eyes.

Chu Huai paused slightly, pulled the corner of his mouth, and kindly reminded: “…that’s not a chrysanthemum, but a flower on the top of a cucumber.”

Ye Yuan laughed softly, and Luo Ziyang’s face turned red unconsciously.

Dong Anya and Zhou Xiuwen sitting next to them were also a little embarrassed. They are young and highly receptive, but they are thin-skinned. They saw that Luo Ziyang brought a male guest back, and they ate and lived together, so they understood it in their hearts.

While making jokes, the bus stopped suddenly, and the newcomers woke up one by one.

Because the newcomers were reminded by the blood letter and the record in the sky before entering the world, generally speaking, they will not behave too stupidly, question the rules, or think that they have been kidnapped.

In less than a minute, everyone woke up and looked at the people around them warily.

Luo Ziyang habitually went to explain a few words, and asked loudly: “Are you all lovers?”

Those people froze for a moment, two couples nodded, and the other four shook their heads.

“You all sit down first,” Chu Huai said.

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

Everyone held the things and looked at each other, not understanding what they meant, but they all remained silent in a smart way. Obviously, this weak girl has some knowledge.

After Chu Huai passed out the papers, Jin Tianyi suddenly grabbed his wrist. He looked down at him suspiciously. Jin Tianyi smirked: “Mr. Chu, you haven’t sent it to me yet.”

He shouted very naturally, and Chu Huai froze for a moment, in a second, he angrily stuffed the rest of the things into Jin Tianyi’s hands.

Chu Huai glanced at his watch, cleared his throat, and said, “Time is limited, please take a pen to dictate, these words are related to the copy. Don’t interrupt me during the report, if you have any questions, wait until I finish the report, if you can’t write or are confused about the meanings of some words, you can help each other.”

In Chu Huai’s previous dungeon, the clues were engraved in his mind, and he couldn’t talk to other taskers before the dungeon was completed, but the dungeon of the horror amusement park is quite special. The clues they get in ‘If You Are the One’ are tangible and can be shared.

His initial idea was to make copies of the clue card and distribute them to newcomers, but it failed. Soon after he copied some cards, they turned blank, which also explained the particularity of this clue.

Copying didn’t work, so Chu Huai changed his method, dictating.

When the newcomers heard the phrase “these words are related to the copy”, they immediately picked up the pen, spread the paper on their laps, and pricked up their ears, for fear of missing it.

Seeing that it was almost done, Chu Huai turned around and bent over, took out the cards from Jin Tianyi’s pocket, and read them slowly one by one.

Although he didn’t go to school much, his Mandarin is very standard, and his words are correct.

Jin Tianyi looked at his slender legs and listened to his voice, feeling very comfortable.

Luo Ziyang laughed: “Back then my Chinese teacher looked like this, so I decided to study hard and try my best to develop a teacher-student relationship.”

Jin Tianyi glanced at him leisurely: “interesting.”

There were one or two young men on the bus whose eyes wandered to Chu Huai’s body. They took a few more glances, which is really human, but Jin Tianyi was a little unhappy, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

After Chu Huai finished reporting, a young boy with grandma-like gray hair came up to Chu Hai to strike up a conversation: “Beauty, I want to ask, what does Bodhidharma the sword of Chris mean?”

“Isn’t Bodhidharma the glory of the king? …” He looked puzzled.

Just as Chu Huai was about to explain, the door opened.

Chu Huai frowned: “Let’s get out off the bus first.” 

There is a time limit after the door is opened, and if you don’t get off the bus within a certain period of time, it will be automatically regarded as giving up the copy.

It was pitch black outside the bus, the doors were wide open, and no light came in. The couple hesitated for a moment.

After Chu Huai and others went down first, they followed one after another.

The moment they got off the bus, they were all shocked, and a huge amusement park appeared in front of them.

Because the dungeon started at 8:00 p.m., it is already dark now. Fortunately, the moon is bright and full.

Because of the last dungeon, Chu Huai didn’t have a good impression of the moon.

Looking around, the amusement park occupies a huge area, and the entire area is surrounded. The huge Ferris wheel in the distance is slowly turning, and the jumping machine and the big pendulum are also faintly visible.

From the outside, this amusement park is no different from ordinary amusement parks, except… there is no noisy human voice, and it looks depressing and dull.

In the huge amusement park, there seemed to be no one else except the taskers standing outside the door.

“It doesn’t look too scary…” the grayed-haired youth muttered in a low voice.

The two couples hugged each other, and everyone spontaneously formed a group, and a few stood silently behind Chu Huai and the others, with a posture of dependence.

“What time is it?” Chu Huai frowned slightly.

Just as Jin Tianyi was about to say that it would be eight o’clock, the ground suddenly lit up… a ​​strange green fluorescent light, which made a girl scream in fright.

That’s an arrow. Chu Huai looked in the direction of the arrow, which pointed toward the ticket booth.

They need to buy tickets?

As if in response to him, a big sign “Ticket Office” also lit up with a strange and creepy green light, which was particularly dazzling in the dark night.

With a “click”, an “open for business” sign suddenly appeared on the dark window.

That sign… who turned it on? This thought flashed through everyone’s minds, and they couldn’t help feeling terrified. Some subconsciously moved away from the direction of the window.

A strange scene happened. The moment the logo was lit up, the whole amusement park was lit up with colorful rainbow-like light, which was beautiful and dazzling.

A line of round characters on the fluorescent board next to it was flashing, “Horror Amusement Park, open at eight o’clock in the evening.” 

Jin Tianyi took Chu Huai’s hand: “Then let’s go buy tickets first.”

The window of the booth was very low, and it was pitch black inside, not even the slightest bit of light could penetrate. Jin Tianyi was slightly taller, and Chu Huai was about to poke his head into the window when suddenly a pair of eyes appeared out of thin air in the middle of the window!

Chu Huai was used to it a long time ago, but still thinking about acting, he hugged Jin Tianyi’s waist tightly as he stared at those eyes.

Chu Huai was planning to say something when a severed finger suddenly stuck out from the window and pushed out two tickets.

Jin Tianyi took it, the ticket was black as a whole, and the words were in fluorescent colors, so it could be seen clearly without any effort.

Chu Huai asked him for a ticket and found that there was a signature on the bottom of the ticket, and the one he was holding belonged to Jin Tianyi.

Roller coaster, haunted house, pirate ship…

Jin Tianyi has a total of six activities.

Chu Huai then looked at his own ticket and his face turned black instantly.

Bumper cars, merry-go-round horses, spring beds…

Jin Tianyi frowned: “None of them are the same.”

Chu Huai thought that if he didn’t cling to Jin Tianyi, he could just go by himself, even though he thought so, he still showed a disappointed expression.

After getting back his ticket, Chu Huai was about to leave but was pulled back by Jin Tianyi. Chu Huai turned around in astonishment, and another line of words appeared on the fluorescent board – “Two single activities can be replaced for a single couples activity.”

Jin Tianyi suddenly pulled him into his arms, looked at him with a hidden smile, and tentatively said, “Do you want to partake in the couples activities with me?”

Chu Huai lowered his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said in a shy tone, “…Of course.”

They went back to the window. Six single-person activities can be exchanged for three couples activities. The number has become smaller, however, the difficulty may not be reduced.

This time the severed finger pushed out a turntable.

Chu Huai was amused: “I thought I could replace whatever I wanted, so it depends on luck.”

Jin Tianyi didn’t focus on this, he smiled and posted it from behind, coaxing: “Let’s replace them all.”

Chu Huai froze, kept silent, and looked at the turntable. There are eight activity names on the surface of the turntable, Fairy Tale Princess Paradise, Escape Room, Ferris Wheel, Life and Death, Book of Sexual Psychology…

Is something wrong?

“You play.” Jin Tianyi said.

Chu Huai smiled while playing with the turntable: “I want to land on Book of Sexual Psychology.” Although I don’t know what it is, it sounds more interesting than the others.

Two minutes later, they returned to the gate with couples tickets for “Fairy Tale Princess Paradise”, “Ferris Wheel” and “Book of Sexual Psychology”.

They briefly described it to others, and most of them hesitated and did not exchange tickets immediately.

“Should we… want to change couples tickets?” Someone finally asked.

Luo Ziyang was very straightforward: “Xiaoye, let’s go and exchange couples tickets, you have thin arms and legs, don’t be afraid, Brother Luo will protect you!”

Ye Yuan whispered: “…Brother, have you forgotten that I am a ghost? “

Chu Huai pondered for a while, he can’t yet judge if it’s better to choose couples or single activities, but the only thing he can be sure of is that the world inclined them to choose couples activities.

Chu Huai didn’t help them make decisions, but just analyzed the pros and cons for them. Judging from the current situation, it is true that in the couples activities, they can take care of each other.

The newcomers and Dong Anya and Zhou Xiuwen held the copied clues paper.

The six of them spent a lot of time explaining to the newcomers what a clue was, and then it was up to them to decide what type of ticket to buy.

Some changed their tickets, then everyone swiped their ticket to enter. The amusement park is huge. It is estimated that one would not be able to go through the entire amusement park in only one night, but there is a sightseeing car parked by the door that they can drive.

“Hey, what if… can I participate in activities that aren’t on my ticket? What will happen?” Chu Huai asked suddenly.

He just now thought of this.
