The two chose to run towards the gate. People kept coming in and out of the gate. No matter what abnormalities there were, they couldn't attack them in public.
Unfortunately, after running only two steps, my hands and feet became uncontrollable, as if their acupoints had been pressed, and I felt sore, weak and powerless.
At this moment, the bewitching voice from before sounded again.
"Go up and play, play the game of finding a friend."
The two walked onto the stage in a daze.
Wen Shi was seriously immersed in the magic itself: "It's amazing."
Hearing him praising Yarlin, the young man curled his lips and said, "It's just a little trick of illusion."
"Um?"
The young man stretched out his hand, and Wen Shi felt the air around him become lighter. The entire spiritual power lingering here was blocked out. When Wen Shi raised his eyes again, he saw a leopard lying next to Yarlin on the stage.
"Although we are now very weak, we can still find some loopholes."
For example, Yarlin's spirit is also a relatively independent entity. As long as he doesn't have any malicious intent, it's very easy to use mental power to suppress the brain nerves and create some illusions. He only has the ability to brainwash, but brainwashing also requires retaining some mental power.
"A wise man never falls in love." Wen Shi thought of the skills he inherited from Yarlin. Apparently, the latter could not only break illusions, but was also very good at creating them.
He moved to a very sideways position. Yarlin noticed Wen Shi's movements and deliberately exposed a corner of the black cloth to make it easier for him to see clearly.
Two deformed noodle-like tentacles wrapped around the player's limbs, and the two people who had just gone up disappeared in an instant. Due to the speed, only a shadow could be seen.
Wen Shi looked stiffly in the direction where the afterimage disappeared.
...Tentacles? Or octopus tentacles?
He figured out the crime: Yarlin had tricked the victim onto the stage, using his mental powers to create hallucinations. The little octopus then abducted the target to a small forest on the slope of the mountain. And then, did he bury him?!
The young man knew what Wen Shi was thinking and took the initiative to step forward: "It's obvious that these people have killed other people. I'm going to brainwash them and make them surrender."
Wen Shi looked relieved. My younger brother is so sensible now.
In the sunlight, the boy smiled at him, and there seemed to be a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"…"Are you really going to persuade and brainwash?
Xie Tangyan whispered beside him, "You must learn to trust your family."
Wen Shi's smile was a little unnatural. The more he emphasized this, the more he felt something was wrong.
The spirit body disappeared, Yarlin's magic ended, and the enthusiastic applause continued for a long time. Wen Shi considered whether to go find the little octopus.
"We agreed to meet at the aquarium later." Xie Tangyan said, "There are a lot of small fish today, and he's splitting up. Let's go eat first."
The subject is he, not they.
If Jian Qingrong was nearby, he would not let the little octopus act alone, so it was Jian Qingrong who separated the little octopus.
"How wide are they?"
Xie Tangyan: "Three equal parts." Finally, she felt that it was not divided equally according to weight, so she changed her words and said: "Three portions."
"…"
Yaerlin also had to change his clothes and return some equipment. Wen Shi pushed the wheelchair towards the newly opened water restaurant.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Wen Shi asked with concern.
He could understand why the old lady hid in the suitcase, but it was a little strange that she chose to sit in a wheelchair.
The old lady half-closed her eyes and said, "We have to make up for the old, weak, sick and disabled."
Otherwise, how can you get the fish to bite?
Wen Shi raised an eyebrow, implying that he wasn't going to let anyone off the hook. This was a good thing. Once a line of people lined up outside the police station to surrender, it would soon be on the news, serving as a warning to other players with ulterior motives.
There are two ways to get to the floating restaurant, by boat or through the winding promenade.
Wen Shi and his friends naturally chose the latter. The area of the artificial lake was limited, and they successfully reached the restaurant in the center of the lake in just a few minutes.
The restaurant has four floors. The theme park has just opened, and most tourists are experiencing the attractions. Not many people come to dine at this time.
Wen Shi found a good seat by the window and ordered a few of the signature dishes.
The waiters served the food very quickly.
"Not bad." Wen Shi commented after trying it.
The price is expensive, but the color, aroma and taste are up to standard.
There was a table full of delicious food, but Ah Sang was just wiping his broken bowl carefully, with no intention of picking up his chopsticks at all.
When the edge of the bowl was polished to a shine, he jumped off the stool and said, "I need to go to the bathroom."
The others ate their own food without even looking up, as if they were very generous in letting the child go alone.
A Sang put the broken bowl in his arms and took it to the toilet. He looked like a playful and mischievous child.
First floor.
The water restaurant has been very popular recently. If you come to the park just for fun, you can't miss this check-in spot.
Three people were waiting there early in the morning. It was not easy to attract attention on the first floor, but they could also see clearly who entered the restaurant.
"Where are Xiaowu and the others? Didn't they send a message saying they saw the target?"
"I don't know. No one answered the phone. Maybe it's because there are too many people outside and it's hard to do anything."
Everyone's thinking has blind spots. It is a consensus that no matter how powerful a player is, he will be finished when facing hot weapons in reality.
Skills and props can only be used in dungeons.
This group was more cautious. After seeing Wen Shi coming in, they did not try to get close to do anything, but instead waited in the stairwell on the first floor.
When they spotted Ah Sang heading toward the bathroom, they felt their chance had arrived. The child's pockets were empty, so they were certain he had no communication tools. It would be much easier to start with the child.
They also quietly walked towards the bathroom, and one of the players whispered, "Given Pei Wenwei's age, this child is definitely not his biological child."
Maybe they are just children of relatives or friends, and catching them may not necessarily make them surrender.
"Children often go missing in the park, so he won't think about this aspect first." The leader said the plan: "When Pei Wenwei is anxiously looking for someone, he will let down his guard."
While they were whispering to each other, they had already arrived at the bathroom, and the last one to come in locked the outer door.
Everything was ready, but there was no one inside.
"Where are the people?"
Just as they were looking around, a voice suddenly came from above their heads: "Are you looking for me?"
The cute child sits on the partitioned door panel, staring with overly black and white eyes
"Uncle, guess why I didn't eat just now?"
The player who was looking at him subconsciously asked, "Why?"
After he finished speaking, he shook his head violently. This weird scene always gave people the feeling of being back in a dungeon. They chose to trust their intuition. The players near the door carefully stepped back, preparing to open the door and go out first.
My fingers can already touch the lock edge, just a little bit!
Just as he was about to open the lock, he heard two crisp "dong dong" sounds. The player subconsciously turned his head to look, and the next second, the last crisp "dong" sound fell on his head.
The player closed his eyes and fainted on the spot.
Ah Sang easily carried the knocked-out men to the window and threw them one by one. An octopus head emerged from the splashing white waves, one of its tentacles pulling a man along. Immediately, three human heads and a gigantic octopus head emerged from the lake.
Yarlin's spirit body was also outside, and they cooperated perfectly. One was in charge of the illusion, while the other did the physical labor to transport the person to the opposite hillside.
Ah Sang clapped his hands and walked out, complaining in a low voice: "I'm not happy with this head hit."
None of them have broken out of their shells.
Thanks to Acang, Wen Shi had a peaceful meal time, which was a wonderful time with the light music in the restaurant.
After paying the bill, the few of them continued to stroll around. When they passed by the stalls set up by the vendors, Asang took a few more glances.
"Kids, do you want to play whack-a-mole?" the vendor enthusiastically promoted.
Ah Sang shook his head: "No, I just finished fighting."
Wen Shi's ears twitched, and he asked softly, "Are you still alive?" "Of course." Ah Sang smiled, revealing a row of small white teeth, and said the same thing as Xie Tangyan: "Dad, you have to trust your family."
Anyway, I'm alive now.
To get to the aquarium, you have to pass the haunted house first. There was some noise ahead, and the road was blocked. Wen Shi looked in the direction of the sound. From the door of the haunted house, which was built to resemble a monster's mouth, stretchers were carried out one after another. He counted them and there were six in total.
The person who was carried out was twitching all over, drooling from his mouth, as if he had lost all his soul.
Several tourists came out with the stretcher, looking at each other with confusion on their faces.
These six people look quite young and strong, so how could they all faint from fright?
Following the tourists out was Ayu. She wrapped herself tightly, and the cloak covered with strange symbols did not look out of place in the theme park.
"Damn it!" Ayu ran over to join Wen Shi and the others, wrapping his cloak tightly around his neck in a pretentious manner. "This haunted house is so scary! All kinds of monsters and demons have sneaked in."
Wen Shi glanced at the unconscious person being carried away and said in a choked voice, "Are they possessed by ghosts?"
A Yu waved his hand casually: "No, at most he's crazy."
"…"
The commotion in the haunted house was quickly suppressed by the staff, and the balloon man at the entrance of the aquarium in front was waving at them.
Inside, the glass curtain wall overhead hung low, revealing numerous animals swimming freely above. Wen Shi wasn't particularly drawn to this enclosed environment; the narrow passageways, teeming with people, gave the impression that the building above might collapse at any moment.
He sighed, this was the aftereffect of the copy.
"That octopus is making a heart shape with his hands!"
Hearing the exclamation, Wen Shi looked in the direction of the child's finger, his eyes almost fixed on it, and he saw the little octopus rubbing its tentacles frantically.
After the little octopus hurriedly transported the player to the other side of the lake, it quickly ran to the aquarium, transformed into a camouflage, blended into the glass curtain wall, and began to perform a show for Wen Shi.
Surprising? It uses its eyes to communicate... Surprising?
Wen Shi was silent for a moment, then gave a thumbs up against his will, then spent money to buy the fake flower toy in the child's hand behind him, and stuck it on the glass to pretend to be offering flowers.
The little octopus bubbles with excitement.
Not long after, the boy and Yarlin came back one after another.
"Originally, we were planning to each perform a show for my brother as a surprise, but later it was rejected." The young man looked at Xie Tangyan and the old lady with a little dissatisfaction.
"I understand." Wen Shi closed his eyes. Fortunately, there were still two rational people.
This family is amazing because of you.
Now only Jian Qingrong hadn't returned yet. He opened his eyes and asked, "Where's the other person?"
"Don't worry, just play first." Xie Tangyan said, "We probably had a plan in place before you arrived."
Since they had already discussed it, Wen Shi didn't ask any more questions and just started playing. There were many exciting attractions, but he was very calm throughout the whole process. Even the roller coaster didn't bring much excitement.
Wen Shi's experience at the Golden City Amusement Park made him almost immune to roller coasters.
The one who had the most fun was A Sang. When the roller coaster reached the highest point, he happily wanted to unbuckle his seat belt, but Wen Shi pushed him back with an expressionless face.
When they arrived at the pendulum, the old lady who wanted to go up was stopped by the staff. As for the rafting and jet flying, A Sang was not of the required height and could not play either.
"Not respecting the elderly and loving the young." They said in unison.
Wen Shi: "…"
Do you want to hear what you are saying?
You have to queue up for many projects, and it's already dark by the time you've finished experiencing almost all of them.
As night fell, Xie Tangyan left for a short while, and when she reappeared, she had returned to her original appearance, with flowing black hair and an elegant dress.
She looked at Wen with a very gentle look: "I am very happy today, let's go back first."
Jian Qingrong's cleverness this time was that he not only helped Wen Shi solve his troubles, but also showed his concern for his family and tried his best to help him get a rare trip.
Afterwards, he did not disturb Wen Shi's time with his family. As a courtesy, Xie Tangyan and the others only planned to take up half a day, and even the young man did not stay to disturb them.
"Dad, see you at the tea party." A Sang hugged Wen Shi's arm reluctantly.
Wen Shi patted his head: "Okay."
As Yarlin snapped his fingers lightly, countless white doves circled in the air for the last time, and several people completely turned into white light and disappeared.
At the same time, a small octopus crept onto Wen Shi's shoulder and said, "I'll lead the way. Go out first."
Wen Shi thought as he walked that this time it was actually a bit unfair to Jian Qingrong. The only time they had left to spend together was the long dark night, and the other party missed the theme park trip.
A slight buzzing sound interrupted his thoughts, and the little octopus said, "Airplane."
There was a drone flying at a certain distance. Wen Shi had a hunch that it was specifically searching for him. He shook his head and said, "How persistent."
The little octopus led Wen Shi towards the parking lot. There would be a fireworks show at 11 o'clock in the park. Now it was almost midnight and the tourists were all waiting for the fireworks. Only the street lights were stubbornly on nearby.
Wen Shi spotted Jian Qingrong, who was leaning against a lamppost. Seeing him stand up, he smiled. Perhaps it was the light, but Jian Qingrong seemed to have a soft filter.
The parking lot was enormous, with many nooks and crannies where people had been lurking since dusk. Beyond that, there were also guards inside the car, at the inconspicuous elevator door...
"Attention, the target has appeared."
"The brothers in the amusement park are missing, everyone please be alert."
"He was probably knocked down. It seems this guy does have some skills, but no matter how powerful he is, he's still afraid of bullets."
"Prepare to shoot." Someone gave the order. Since there was no one around, they didn't need to drive and follow him. It would be best to solve the problem on the spot.
Jian Qingrong had long realized that there were many malicious and dirty things hiding in the dark, and he knew that his night had finally begun.
First catch the bullet with your bare hands, then go to a luxury hotel with a swimming pool on the rooftop where you can enjoy the night view.
Thinking of this, Jian Qingrong's smile widened, and he prepared to face the bullet that was about to break through the air.
"No matter what happens next, don't be afraid." Jian Qingrong said calmly, "I will protect you."
Subconsciously, Jian Qingrong had a strong obsession with being able to protect Wen Shi personally.
The performance of catching unlimited bullets with bare hands is about to begin!
As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling light shot down, and the sound of a helicopter was heard in the sky. The hair of the people below was blown up. Snipers on the opposite building set up their guns. The parking lot was surrounded in tens of seconds. Several police officers holding riot shields rushed out from nowhere and blocked their way.
Wen Shi was stunned and looked at Jian Qingrong in surprise.
The bulletproof-vest-clad officer in front of them quickly explained the situation, preparing them mentally: "There are some dangerous individuals nearby, but don't worry. Just follow me and retreat."
This report was unusual. An envelope had appeared out of nowhere on a desk at the police station. Upon opening it, it contained a photo and an address, clearly showing the driver handing a gun to the passenger seat. Gun-related cases are usually major crimes, and based on the information, the man in the photo was a fugitive responsible for multiple deaths. They immediately responded.
"Retreat!" The killer stepped on the accelerator and rushed towards the lawn in front, preparing to force his way onto the road.
At the same time, a van on the side rushed towards Wen Shi, and there was a sound of gunfire and bullets all around.
There was a heavy fall sound.
It seemed that a killer had been shot dead. The van rolled over with a loud noise. When Wen Shi covered his ears and bent down, a cold mechanical sound suddenly came into his mind.
"I can call the police."
"Some people say I don't care whether you live or die."
"I take care of it."
The last words of the mechanical voice were addressed to Jian Qingrong: "Are you satisfied?"
"!!!"
Amidst the crackling gunfight, a rather cunning criminal quietly extended the barrel of his gun.
boom!
A bolt of thunder struck, and the criminal was knocked unconscious the next second.
The police officer holding the riot shield turned around suddenly and found that there was a fish that had escaped the net hiding next to the trash can. He was a little scared for a moment.
"He was struck by lightning." The police officer was shocked: "Is this justice from heaven?"
When Wen Shi saw Lei and thought of the mechanical voice just now, he said with a complicated expression: "I didn't expect the game to be so humane and actually come to save us."
This time, I'll beat him unconscious!
Jian Qingrong: "…"
This home field is clearly his.
