The final gentleman

"Smiling Black Hole Amusement Park Admission Ticket"

*Holders of this ticket can go to the playground through any building entrance with the Smiling Black Hole logo, such as alleys, stairs, windows, dog holes, etc.

*The playground is currently in trial operation, and some facilities have not yet been manually tested. If you encounter problems during play, please actively provide feedback to the staff (it is recommended that visitors have sufficient regeneration ability, and they need to read the rule book and sign it when entering the park) death agreement)

*Currently it is only open from 03:00-06:00. Please be sure not to use the playground equipment during non-opening hours.

"Mr. Yi, when are we going?"

Leni looked at the ticket in her hand and seemed interested.

This week, apart from occasionally going to the crew, she basically ate and slept in the hotel, which was a bit boring.

Yi Chen had just received a cup of espresso from the hotel attendant outside the door. He was holding an ice bucket in his other hand and filling the bathtub with ice cubes.

He seemed ready to take an ice water bath and coffee to activate his brain and analyze the current chain of suspicion.

"I'm going tonight, but William gave me three tickets. Who do you think would be better to invite?"

Leni put her index finger on her chin, "Manager? No, the manager is completely tied to the hotel. It will be very troublesome to go out, and he will definitely not go... How about asking the zombie to go with him? Hasn't Mr. Yi been with him recently? Do we get along well?

If that doesn't work, I might be able to contact Aunt Mei and go there together. She might sell me a favor, right? "

"We'll leave it to zombies for the time being. I'll take a shower first and then set off in the early morning."

"Be careful of catching a cold."

Yi Chen took off his clothes and sat in the bathtub full of ice without changing his expression. He looked up at the ceiling while sipping the coffee in his hand.

Time passes little by little,

When all the ice cubes were almost melted, Yi Chen still couldn't get a definite answer and only felt a little pain in his head.

Although the orphanage has provided courses to exercise thinking, and Yi Chen's thinking ability is not weak, the current situation is indeed a bit complicated.

It can only be said that William, the zombies or the manager may all have their own agendas and need to be careful.

If we extrapolate from the source of the problem upwards, the biggest problem is William.

Because the manager was the first disaster that William attracted, the reason why he was able to provide Yi Chen with hotel accommodation was because of William's advance recommendation.

The current relationship with the zombies was also facilitated by William.

For a moment, Yi Chen, who was soaked in the ice water, seemed to see an extremely huge chessboard with many branches, and he himself was a chess piece in it.

"Forget it, let's go directly to that guy William's amusement park. It's almost time."

The streets were extremely cold tonight, and there was a special kind of rain that was more than ten degrees below zero in the sky. Yi Chen couldn't help but sneeze when he just came out of the ice bath. Huang Pi also quickly warmed up his body and separated an umbrella.

When Yi Chen and Leni came to the theater gate, they actually saw zombies sleeping in the alley.

Since he was sleeping standing up, the cold rain had already hung several strings of icicles on the zombie's body, making it look like a frozen corpse.

Yi Chen walked to the entrance of the alleyway and was about to call out to the zombies when a strange scene appeared.

Click~

The zombie's body twisted like a machine, and the ice coating on its surface shattered and fell.

The face suddenly turned 90°, and the sound similar to an engine caused by strong breathing after the hole in the vocal cord could be vaguely heard in the damaged throat.

The two eyeballs were pale and colorless, as if they hadn't fully woken up yet.

As the virus clusters in the zombies become active one after another and jointly construct the 'zombie consciousness', a small black dot appears between the white eyeballs, and the whole thing becomes harmless again.

"Uh (Mr. Yi, you came to work so early? The crew doesn't seem to have opened the door yet)"

"I'm not at work. I received a temporary invitation to help out. Do you want to go with us? There just happen to be three tickets here."

"Huh? (What help?)"

"The new disaster, William Behrens, that guy who looks similar to me, the large amusement park he built will start trial operation tonight and he needs me to go over and help him test the operational efficiency and perfection of the amusement park.

Of course, some of these devices have not been tested and there will be certain risks. Do you want to come with us? "

"Uh! (It doesn't matter as long as it doesn't delay tomorrow's crew work. Thank you Mr. Yi for inviting me. I'm actually very curious about Mr. William's relationship with you because you two look so similar.)"

"We come from the same world, where people all look the same."

"Uh~ (Oh, that's it! I thought you were brothers, Siamese or something like that, that's fine... Actually, I don't like Mr. William very much. I always feel that he has an indescribable sense of danger. , it’s just uncomfortable to be close.

Mr. Yi is completely different, very down-to-earth. )"

"That guy is indeed dangerous. Because I owed him a favor before, I will help him test the playground this time. Let's go."

"Huh? (Where to go from?)"

"You have the entrance right here."

As Yi Chen pointed towards the depths of the current alleyway, there was actually a small graffiti of a smiling black hole drawn on the wall at the end, which was very inconspicuous.

When everyone came closer and put graffiti on the admission tickets in their hands.

The wall immediately turns into a black hole structure for single-person teleportation, sucking the ticket holder into it instantly. In the blink of an eye, the three of them were standing in the huge amusement park square.

There is no gate structure behind them, but there is endless darkness, and they can no longer rely on the tickets in their hands to return.

The playground seemed not to be powered on yet, the entire area was dark, and even the outlines of related equipment could not be seen.

This darkness seems to be a bit too much, not only restricting vision, but also suppressing most of the perception. Even Yi Chen's breathing method cannot reach the area five meters away.

The same was true for Leni. Feeling out of control, she couldn't help but feel a little scared. She even felt like something was watching in the darkness. She moved her body as close to Yi Chen as possible.

Zombies don’t feel anything at all.

It's just the first time I've come to this kind of environment that looks open but is actually extremely depressing, so I'm quite curious.

Ta~ta~ta~

A sharp sound of footsteps came from the darkness. Someone was approaching from a distance. Due to the limitations of perception, it was impossible to know what kind of person it was.

Ta-ta-ta!

The footsteps gradually sped up from slow in the distance, and even reached an incomprehensible ultra-fast step.

When I heard that the other party was about to reach the visual range,

Buzz!

The sound of footsteps disappeared instantly,

No one walked out of the darkness, but a flashlight rolled out from where the footsteps disappeared, with a folded paper wrapped with tape.

When Yi Chen picked up this old-fashioned flashlight, it actually had an effective illumination distance of thirty meters.

After tearing off the transparent tape and taking off the paper, a string of words that felt extremely familiar to Yi Chen appeared in front of his eyes.

≮Playground Rules≯

*Please be sure to memorize the following rules and strictly abide by them during play. Violating any of the rules will bring unexpected dangers, and may even lead to disasters beyond death.

"Cemetery?"

Yi Chen's thoughts were drawn back to the cemetery, and back to what he encountered when he first traveled through the world. The situation at that time was quite similar.

It's just that the rules of this playground seem more troublesome and dangerous, and William doesn't seem to have any intention of showing up.
