The amusement park entrances are made up of turnstiles, just like those in a subway station.
However, they didn't have subway tickets.
Qingchen looked at the amusement park's two-meter-high wall and thought he could just jump over it, but he wasn't that reckless: everything had to be done according to the amusement park's rules first, and climbing over might cause an accident.
But then Gouwa bent down and aimed his eyes at the green QR code scanner on the gate.
With a ding, the turnstile spoke in a gentle voice: "Welcome back, visitor number 371932. Have a great time."
If this number represents the number of tourists, then more than 370,000 people had visited this place before Gouwa... There are quite a few people who like to court death and are obsessed with money.
Qing Chen silently mocked himself, wasn't he one of them too?
The next 'tourist' followed suit and peered over, but as soon as he looked down, he suddenly stood up straight and shouted, "There's a green eye looking at me from inside that turnstile!"
Gouwa walked over, grabbed his hair, and brought his head close to the green QR code scanner: "Look carefully, there's nothing inside."
The tourist was almost in tears: "It really is there... wait, it's gone?"
bite!
"Welcome visitor number 380079 on your first visit to the amusement park. We hope you have a pleasant experience."
Qing Chen's heart tightened. This amusement park was eerily strange.
After this tourist caused a scene, everyone was too scared to even look at the crowd and enter. In the end, Gouwa had to grab them one by one and bring them over to stop the disturbance.
When it was Qingchen's turn, he even opened his eyes wide to look at the area where the green light swept, but there was only a device that emitted green light to scan the iris, and there were no green pupils at all.
bite!
"Welcome visitor number 380101 on your first visit to the amusement park. We hope you have a pleasant experience."
Qingchen frowned. He glanced at the others and found that they had already started choosing their own Trojan horses.
He glanced at the turnstile again, walked over, picked out a horse, and mounted it.
But the black and red stripes on the wooden horses looked like twisted smiling faces, grinning at the riders from behind their heads.
Chapter 917, Mount & Blade Game
"Can I skip the rocking horse? I want to watch you guys play," a middle-aged man said fearfully. "I feel like this rocking horse is dangerous."
Some people hesitated to ride the rocking horse, but Gouwa's men forced them to get on.
Of the thirty-nine people, Gouwa led seven exceptionally burly men, who steadily controlled the situation.
After sitting on the carousel, Qingchen realized that not all the horses had the same pattern; instead, every other horse had a different pattern.
The wooden horse he sat on had thunder patterns on its hooves.
The wooden horse in front of him had cloud patterns on its hooves.
The cloud-patterned wooden horses and the thunder-patterned wooden horses are intertwined, as if dividing the riders into two camps.
Qingchen looked around and saw that Gouwa and the others were all riding cloud-patterned wooden horses... without exception!
Moreover, Gouwa's men shoved the 'tourists' onto the wooden horses. All the tourists were pushed onto the cloud-patterned wooden horses, leaving only three new tourists who were confusedly pushed to the thunder pattern.
This is no coincidence. The other party knew how to solve the first level, so they also knew what would happen here, which is why they chose the same suit.
Qing Chen silently dismounted his horse and replaced it with a cloud-patterned wooden horse.
Gouwa glanced at him but didn't say anything.
After all three tourists had boarded the rocking horse.
A girl's voice, brimming with youthful energy, came from inside the carousel: "The conditions for unlocking the level have been met. Are you all ready? It's about to begin!"
Click, click.
With the clear sound of gears turning, it seemed as if there were machines constantly meshing inside the carousel.
In an instant, the head of the carousel opened, revealing a knife hilt.
Qingchen gripped the wooden horse and pulled it out, but with a clang, the Hu man's scimitar was pulled out of the horse's body.
The veteran tourists watched coldly, while the new tourists held up knives, clueless as to what they were for.
Qing Chen understood: this challenge wasn't about riding a wooden horse, but about fighting on horseback!
The cloud-patterned and thunder-patterned wooden horses are divided into two camps, until one side is completely wiped out!
Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling, a crisp melody drifted in.
Suddenly, a neon sign outside the carousel lit up, displaying a countdown of 4:59.
4:58.
4:57.
Five minutes.
A group of adults sat on black and red wooden horses, waiting helplessly. Suddenly, a huge mouth full of fangs split open from the back of the black and red wooden horses beneath them, ready to devour them.
A new tourist exclaimed, "What's wrong with this horse? Is it going to eat me?"
With a click, the stools everyone was standing on suddenly locked, trapping their feet and rendering them unable to move.
"Brother Gouwa! What should we do!" a newcomer asked, his voice trembling with tears.
Gouwa said coldly, "Shut up! Close your eyes! Just wait!"
Gradually, the rocking horse's spinning speed increased.
Qing Chen understood that, strictly speaking, the entire amusement park, with its 12 levels, was actually a large-scale escape room.
The people sitting on the carousel must do something to prevent everyone from dying within 5 minutes!
Many people closed their eyes in fear, waiting for Gouwa to solve the level.
As everyone knows, the town knows how to solve the first level, which is why they are able to survive outside the Forbidden Land of 001.
The town was formed because someone solved the first challenge. He then discovered that as long as he could easily solve the first challenge every time he came, he could collect strange plants and animals in the outer area without any restraint.
So, relying on the skills to solve the first level, he recruited a group of wilderness hunters from the black market in the underworld to live here.
Therefore, the town did not tell the tourists the rules before they set off; they only said, "Just wait for us to get through customs."
Qing Chen didn't close his eyes; instead, he looked around first...
At the entrance to the carousel, there was a stone vat of about 4000 ml. The vat was clean, but its purpose was unknown.
The rest of the area was bare except for two fire extinguishers, a trash can, and a visitor suggestion book.
There was nothing else available.
He then looked at the totem in the middle of the carousel.
If each level is essentially an escape room game, then the solution to this game must lie within this amusement park.
When the rocking horse started spinning, the totem seemed to move as well. At first, the images on the totem were disjointed and even meaningless.
But when the rocking horse spun to its fastest speed, Qingchen suddenly realized that the scene became continuous.
He was waiting to see what was happening when he found that the scene before him was gradually blurring and his consciousness was sinking into an unknown realm.
Qing Chen was standing next to the ginkgo tree, which looked exactly like the one they had seen in the forbidden land when they arrived.
He looked at the two people lighting a campfire not far away.
The fat man laughed and said, "What's so great about being the head of the Qing family? It's nothing compared to how carefree and happy we are now!"
The handsome young man sitting in the middle glanced at the fat man and said, "How about I hand over the position of head of the Qing family to you? Stop making sarcastic remarks."
Qing Chen was stunned.
He had seen this handsome young man countless times... Qing Zhen, the ancestor of the Qing clan.
Moreover, when he saw Qingzhen, it was as if he saw his own reflection in a mirror.
No wonder Lao Shen said it looked just like it.
Qing Chen also had to admit that, within the Qing family bloodline, he was the one most like Qing Zhen.
The three people sat under the ginkgo tree, but none of them glanced at Qing Chen, as if he didn't exist.
Strange, has this totem transported me to a memory? Is it real, or fictional?
Just then, a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked over carrying a string of fish: "I caught some fish in the river. There's a hidden spot there, and the fish are all big and fat, but it's pitch black inside, so I haven't dared to go down and see what's inside."
"I've brought the wine, now I'm just waiting for your fish!" the fat man said with a smile.
The next moment, a young man who looked exactly like Qing Zhen ran over from a distance and said with a smile, "Sorry I'm late."
Qing Chen was stunned. How could there be someone who looked exactly like Qing Zhen? Wait, this is Qing Zhen's bionic body, Qing Shen!
Just like the puppeteer Zong Cheng, who was actually just a bionic version of the original Zong Cheng, all bionic versions were cloned by the Fireseed Company.
Qing Shen was created by Huozhong Company based on Qing Zhen's genes.
"Have you thought about the rules?" the fat man asked.
Qing Chen's heart skipped a beat. He was surprised to see that the totem would directly provide a rule hint.
The third brother pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked at Qingchen and said, "There is only one lizard sculpture in the maze, but if you see two or more at the same time, please do not throw prayer plaques into their mouths."
Qing Chen frowned. This contradicted the previous instruction that "after the sound of hammering was heard, immediately go to the maze area and throw the prayer plaque into the mouth of the lizard sculpture."
Qingchen felt that not all the rules of the amusement park were true, and even the visitor notice written on the ginkgo tree might contain traps.
Just then, Gouwa's voice was heard from outside: "Do it!"
Immediately following, amidst shouts of killing and cries of agony, Qingchen saw several of Gouwa's men slashing at the new tourists on the thunder-patterned carousel while it was spinning!
As the carousel spun rapidly, the inner and outer rings of horses passed each other, and Gouwa's henchmen took advantage of the moment of their passing to slash at the tourists.
The new tourist cried out, "Help! Why are you killing me?!"
The three new tourists sitting on the thunder-patterned wooden horse were not even aware that they had been divided into opposing camps, which is why Gouwa and the others did not explain the rules to the new tourists from beginning to end.
Based on observations, the carousel will only start if each faction has at least three members.
Some new visitors are destined to be sacrifices to this Mount & Blade game from the very beginning.
