Chapter 85.1: Falling into Abyss-themed Roller Coaster

In the “Integrity First” live broadcast room:

[Hahahahahahahaha lmao, disregarding the past hatred!]

[Really, being a guest and acting like a host, shame on you!]

[Can't laugh anymore, dog liar's Victims Alliance solemnly condemns!]

…disregarding the past hatred?

Disregarding the past hatred!!??

Wen Ya's eyes were burning, and her teeth were gritting.

If it wasn't for her teammates blocking her, she would have rolled up her sleeves and rushed forward to fight this shameless liar.

“Sister, what he said is correct. The minimum personnel limit for all projects in this park is five.”

Lilith also ran back from the gate of the thriller zone at this moment and spoke in a low voice.

Chuan Ze frowned slightly:

“In this case, temporary cooperation is probably the best choice.”

What the anchor just said was right. The rules of this thriller zone required anchors to form a team to challenge; if they opposed each other at this juncture, it would not only consume their own strength needlessly but also waste the opportunity in vain.

“……”

Hearing this, Wen Ya also gradually calmed down.

She looked up at him.

The young man she had only met twice was tall and slender, with blue sky, white clouds, and colorful balloons behind him, staring at her with soft amber eyes amidst the cheerful music of the amusement park.

Compared with the previous instance, this liar's temperament had changed drastically. She still remembered that in the Fukang Hospital instance, the other party was wearing a blood-stained white coat and thin gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. There was a ghostly aura hidden in a pair of dark eyes, and even a simple look from him could make people feel chills all over.

If she hadn't had a deep impression of the captain of the black team, it would have been difficult to connect the young man with a clean smile and clear facial features with the doctor boss of the previous instance.

…It was really not easy.

Wen Ya took a deep breath, “…then cooperate.”

She turned her head to look at her teammate, gritted her teeth fiercely, and said, “But after entering the project, you must be careful about this guy. His level is too high. He is the kind that can never be easily believed; do you understand?”

Chuan Ze and Lilith nodded: “Of course!”

After learning about Wen Ya's encounters before a few instances, they could be said to be extremely wary of the captain of the black side in front of them, who could play the whole instance. Even if they were forced by the situation this time to cooperate with each other on the next project for a short time, it was impossible to take him lightly.

Soon, the three reached an agreement.

Yun Bilan: “It's decided?”

Wen Ya took a deep breath: “Naturally.”

She stepped forward and stretched out her hand to Yun Bilan: “Happy cooperation.”

After brief self-introductions to each other, a group of seven people turned in the direction of the roller coaster.

“The taboo of the roller coaster project is very clear, and the venue is relatively limited.” Yun Bilan said as she walked, “But no one knows what's inside or what might happen…” 

Lilith said bluntly: “But isn't there already a hint on the sign outside? Don't open your eyes and look around when passing through the tunnel, don't count the turns silently—”

Yun Bilan stopped her pace and turned to look at Lilith: “You really thought the project here would be so simple?”

Lilith choked for a moment: “But…”

“Have you forgotten what my teammate said just now? As long as there is an anchor who clears the project, it will be closed and cannot be entered.” Yun Bilan squinted her eyes, turned to look at the entrance of the roller coaster playing cheerful music, and said slowly: “Before we entered the haunted house, there was a team of seven anchors who entered the roller coaster, and after we left the haunted house, the roller coaster project reopened. Why do you think that happened?” 

At that moment, a chill climbed up the spine of several others

This could only mean…

All the anchors of that team were wiped out.

Seven people and none of them survived.

Seeing someone approaching, the green-haired clown sitting at the door jumped up: “Welcome everyone to Fantasy Amusement Park to experience our themed roller coaster project!” 

It pointed to the sign on the side: “Each ticket costs 10 coupons!”

Yun Bilan pointed behind her: “Seven people.”

The anchors took out the coupons from their pockets and handed them over. The clown took the coupons and took out the tickets from his baggy trouser pocket: 

“Okay, have a nice time!”

Wen Jianyan looked down at the colorful ticket in his hand with the words “Fantasy Amusement Park Themed Roller Coaster” written on the front, and he turned the ticket over.

Surprisingly, very clear black letters were also printed on the back of the ticket:

[Through the jungle-themed roller coaster rules]

1. Pregnant women, the elderly, and people suffering from cardiovascular disease and mental illness are not allowed to enter.

2. Children under 1.4 meters in height are not allowed to enter.

3. The themed roller coaster consists of three tunnels and fifteen turns. When passing through the tunnels, please do not open your eyes and look around, do not count the turns silently in your heart, and do not look back.

4. There is no possibility of failure in this project. If the equipment stopped working, please sit quietly on the seat and wait for the equipment to restart.

5. Please do not destroy the decorations on the roller coaster, especially the humanoid wooden decorations.

6. Please make sure that the number of passengers on the roller coaster is not 6 or a multiple of 6. If the number of people on the roller coaster is 6 or a multiple of 6, please do not sit on it.

7. The music equipment will not stop for no reason. If the equipment stops playing music during the journey, please contact the staff immediately and leave the track and its surrounding area as quickly as possible.

Wen Jianyan raised his eyes and looked toward the green-haired clown standing at the doorway.

The other party's face was smeared with thick white paint, and the corners of the red mouth were raised high, as if smiling happily all the time.

It looked almost the same as an ordinary person in a clown costume, and its skin didn't look sticky, so it was impossible to tell whether it was a frog or not from its appearance.

In fact, the clown at the door of the haunted house was actually the same.

In fact, before Wen Jianyan realized that the other party might have a problem, he never noticed any difference between its skin and ordinary human beings until he saw the note left by the last clown employee on the invoice—connecting it with his previous speculation about mental pollution, it might be that in this instance, unless the instance itself judged that the anchor had found tangible evidence that the employees were frogs, they couldn't distinguish them from ordinary employees in appearance.

According to the introduction on the use of clown dolls on the invoice, it was very likely that the clown at the entrance of the roller coaster was a frog.

But…

Unlike the haunted house at that time, not only did the other party not ask them to abide by the rules, the tickets handed to them also did not hide key rule information, nor did they repeat the park rules for them in their own tone.

It was almost as if they were not intent on misleading tourists at all.

Wen Jianyan frowned and put the ticket in his pocket.

After checking the tickets, the group of people walked toward the “entrance”.

After entering the tunnel, the light suddenly dimmed, and the air was filled with the smell of stale and damp wood. The footsteps of the seven people echoed in the darkness.

Soon, they came to the side of the track.

On the long track, there was a roller coaster parked quietly. Its body was smeared with colorful ink, and various green plants were painted on it. There were enough seats for thirty people on it, but half of them were occupied by delicately crafted wooden puppets with bright smiles on their faces, mechanically waving their hands at the visitors under the action of spring.

In the control room next to it, a green-haired clown came out: “Everyone can choose their own seats. After sitting down, put on the safety device, and we can go!” 

“……” 

The anchors looked at each other and walked into the roller coaster.

Everyone carefully avoided the seats next to the puppets and took their seats in the empty seats.

Wen Jianyan chose a seat behind a red-nosed puppet and sat down. After checking that there were no unknown substances or anything suspicious on the safety device around him, he fastened the safety device according to the instruction.

Accompanied by a burst of tinkling music, the roller coaster under their bodies slowly began to move.

“Lalala, lalalala…”

The lovely child's voice sang a cheerful tune, and the speed of the roller coaster began to increase little by little. A corner of the sky not far away slowly approached, and the light gradually became brighter.

“Zzzz…Zzzz…”

It was unknown why, but there was a little weird electric sound mixed into the tone.

In the next second, a strong male voice sounded in the cheerful background:

“Hello! Welcome to the Falling into the Abyss-themed roller coaster! I am your captain, and I will lead you to start a brand new fantasy journey!”

Wen Jianyan was startled and raised his eyes in astonishment.

What?

He remembered very clearly that the ticket said “through the jungle-themed roller coaster”.

…not falling into the abyss.

What's going on?

Several other anchors also noticed this and asked in surprise, “What's going on? Why did the theme of the roller coaster change?” 

“If this is the case, wouldn't the previous rules behind the tickets be invalid?!”

“What should we do? Then should we still have to abide by…”

While everyone was discussing, the roller coaster began to climb slowly. Its body tilted up little by little, and climbed toward a high place— 

The icy wind howled in their ears, and the roller coaster was vibrating, emitting a mechanical roar.

Under the strong wind pressure, Wen Jianyan poked his head out with difficulty and looked down over the roller coaster.

Unexpectedly, what was outside the roller coaster was not the amusement park they saw before they entered; on the contrary, what jumped into their eyes was a bottomless black abyss. The thick darkness could not be penetrated by sight at all, giving a weird, almost dizzy feeling.

In the feeling of weightlessness, as if his whole person was about to fall down, Wen Jianyan felt his heart beating wildly.

He retracted his gaze and looked up.

The rails under the roller coaster extend upward, and at the top of the cold steel, there was a sudden downward bend, which plunged straight into the bottomless darkness, exactly as the voice said just now—

[Falling into the abyss-themed roller coaster]

Wen Jianyan was under the pressure of the wind that almost crushed him, and his mind was running fast, looking for any way to rescue himself from this state.

The rules at the door were useless now.

He had no doubts that if they still couldn't find a way to crack it when the roller coaster rose to the top, even before they had time to wait for any tunnels and turns, the people on their entire roller coaster would die without a place for burial.

Then, the only thing that could be used now were the rules of the “through the jungle-themed roller coaster” on the ticket.

…the number of people.

Did it have anything to do with the number of people?

Before getting on the roller coaster, Wen Jianyan counted carefully. There were ten puppets in the car, and there were exactly seven people on their team.

Or it might be…

They were playing falling into the abyss, not through the jungle roller coaster, so should they keep the number at 6?

“Crack.” A faint voice sounded from in front of him.

Wen Jianyan was slightly taken aback and looked in the direction of the voice.

Only to see that the red-nosed puppet sitting in front of him seemed to be crushed by the strong wind, and his head was slightly bent to one side. Under the brown-yellow wooden paint, the soft skin belonging to a human was faintly visible.

This is…

Wen Jianyan's eyes widened slightly.

Under the pressure of the safety device on his body, he reached out with difficulty and groped around the puppet's head.

“Crack—”

Wen Jianyan pulled a thick wooden shell off the puppet's face, and a pale, terrified face appeared in front of his eyes.

The face of the corpse was stiff and distorted; its mouth was wide open, and its gray eyes were wide. It looked like it had experienced something extremely terrible. Even though it had lost its life, it was still screaming.

Although he had already expected it, Wen Jianyan's pupil couldn't help but shrink.

He recognized the other party's facial features.

This was one of the anchors of the team that had gotten on the roller coaster ahead of them.
