Chapter 140 Shh! Just follow the "rules" (16)
The note, crumpled and then flattened, was incredibly soft.
Some of the notes even showed signs of water seepage, leaving rough edges on the writing.
I don't know if it was because of the sweat on her palms or if it was there before.
Qi Xia huddled inside the closet, too afraid to turn on her phone's flashlight. She could only tap the screen and use the dim light to make out the contents of the note.
Based on linguistic logic and subtle clues, I pieced together about 70-80% of the note's content.
To myself and to my former self, who was once brimming with boundless curiosity:
Escape (crossed out) (unreadable handwriting) (written on the back) Survive!
The amusement park is a playground for humans, and the amusement park is His playground. (This was repeatedly written and crossed out until both sides of the note were filled.)
• Go observe (simply crossed out) Don't observe (single underline becomes double underline) (what follows seems to be a repetition of content) (but the underlines become increasingly messy)
Don't wander around the amusement park after dark, or it will eat you.
• Unicorns are good; unicorns can dispel it.
• If you decide to spend the night in the lounge, please do not turn on the lights.
Lock the doors and windows, draw the curtains, don't listen or look, and if necessary, hide in the second wardrobe, which is relatively safe.
The bumper car area is a clown's circus. (The note has a crooked drawing of a bumper car with a clown's head.)
• Do not enter the haunted house when no one is around.
The first six unicorns are knights, the seventh is a prince, the clown is a bumper car, and the prince is a doll! (This sentence is in bold)
Unicorns are no longer safe, hurry to the haunted house!
• If the haunted house is dark at night, you can go in and spend the night; they won't close the door.
• You are a bumper car (this sentence is extremely hastily written)
• I am a bumper car (This sentence is exceptionally well-structured)
Qi Xia became increasingly alarmed as she looked at the document, unsure whether her reconstruction was accurate.
After thinking for a while, I opened the metal ring of my notepad and clipped the notes inside.
Running away is pointless; it's time to admit it...
There must be something superhuman going on in this bizarre amusement park!
Who would have thought that cannibalism would actually exist?
"Does that mean Xiao Yu and the others are in grave danger?"
Qi Xia hesitated for a moment, but was quickly interrupted by a loud noise coming from the direction of the window.
The sound didn't seem far away, but it wasn't right next to the window either.
Qi Xia carefully examined it...
Window direction...
Isn't that where the carousel is?
Qi Xia's heart skipped a beat, realizing that this would be an opportunity for her to confront part of the true nature of this bizarre amusement park.
Took several deep breaths.
Her panting echoed from inside the cramped wardrobe; perhaps it was just her imagination.
She even felt that the air in the closet had become sticky with the steam from her breath.
The churning noise from the carousel hadn't stopped and seemed to be getting even louder.
Qi Xia asked herself: Should I go and see what really happened?
Subconsciously, I neither agreed nor stopped it.
Qi Xia stood up slightly and squatted for a while.
Only when she felt her legs were a little numb did she steel herself and slowly stand up, supporting herself against the cabinet wall.
When she stepped out of the closet, the tingling sensation in her legs made it difficult for her to walk.
She slowly moved to the window, listening to the sound escalating into a crash, her eyes darkening as she looked at the tightly closed blinds.
After a while, she reached out and inserted her hand into the middle of the bed blinds in front of her, opening a small gap in the blinds.
In the dark amusement park, you can't really see anything.
Qi Xia strained to look at the carousel.
Several points of light were found on the second floor of the carousel.
The light spots were moving rapidly, leaving trails in the darkness that could only be traced by their movement.
Qi Xia couldn't count the exact number of the light spots.
But she could see that the spots of light were both red and white.
The red and white dots of light seem to be forming different camps and fighting against each other.
Qi Xia quickly recalled the specific procedures outlined in the employee handbook regarding unexpected situations on the second level of the carousel—
There are only six unicorn horses on the carousel. When the number of unicorn horses suddenly increases to more than six, show them the "clown's nose" and throw it at the unicorn whose eyes are glowing red. After doing this, leave immediately. Do not stalk the extra unicorns during this time.
Based on this note and the one found today, we can roughly deduce that...
Unicorns can indeed dispel certain anomalies, and anomalous forces can even arrange for something to transform into a unicorn and infiltrate their ranks.
Once the unicorn discovers this intruder, it will fight against it, just like it is now.
Perhaps it shouldn't be called a unicorn...
Perhaps those unicorns were actually human, or rather...
He's a security guard at the amusement park.
Is this a hallucination? Or did I really transform from a human into something else?
No, it must be a hallucination!
But why is the extra unicorn a prince?
If the previous rules were correct, shouldn't the prince and princess be absolutely subservient to the safety authorities of the amusement park?
You are a bumper car, I am a bumper car... Haunted house, bumper cars... Haunted house, bumper cars...
I do seem to have seen some different bumper cars before, but they don't seem to be the same as the ones shown on the note.
What did the original bumper cars look like?
What did bumper cars used to look like?!
The deeper I think about it, the more my head throbs.
Something seemed to be preventing her from thinking.
Qi Xia was in so much pain that her face turned pale, she was covered in sweat, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
My legs, which were already sore and numb, went limp.
Qi Xia couldn't control herself and slowly slid down, falling to the ground.
Qi Xia, holding her head, finally came to a conclusion—
"I'll resign tomorrow."
After reaching this conclusion, Qi Xia's vision went black, and she fainted against the wall by the window.
When I woke up again, it was already early the next morning.
The blinds completely blocked out the outside light, with only a little sunlight filtering through from the side.
Qi Xia silently got up and drew back the curtains.
The amusement park looked normal in the winter mist.
At a glance, all the Trojans were properly in their positions.
The time displayed on my phone was 7:35, which was still some time before the park opened at 9:30.
Qi Xia touched the pocket of her skirt and pulled out a notepad that was much thicker than when she received it yesterday afternoon.
She realized that what happened last night could not possibly have been her dream.
Standing silently for a long time, Qi Xia stuffed the notepad into the pocket of the prince's uniform jacket in the third wardrobe.
Then she ran back to her dorm and quickly packed her things.
They arrived at the park director's office with the supplies distributed to the park's employees.
