There were a total of three couples at the Ferris wheel, Chu Huai and Jin Tianyi, Dong Anya, and Zhou Xiuwen, and a newcomer couple who followed behind slowly.
Jin Tianyi took Chu Huai’s hand and walked straight to the bottom of the Ferris wheel, and the cockpit was slowly approaching.
Dong Anya dragged Zhou Xiuwen to follow quickly, looked back at the couple, and said to Chu Jiao and Chu Jiao with a bit of embarrassment: “Can the four of us sit in the same cabin?”
Normally, a cabin of a Ferris wheel can only accommodate up to four people, but now they have six people. It stands to reason that as old people, they should take care of the newcomers and let the new couple stay with Chu Jiao and Jin Tianyi, but Dong Anya herself has only passed one instance, and it was still based on luck, she doesn’t have the confidence in her heart.
At this time, she didn’t care about face anymore, she didn’t care about other people’s life or death, and she only wanted to survive along well with Zhou Xiuwen.
Zhou Xiuwen frowned slightly, and moved his lips, but in the end, he didn’t say anything, obviously, this wasn’t the time for kindness.
The newcomers followed and looked at the cockpit that was approaching, and suddenly understood, their faces paled.
“Sister Jiaojiao, can you take us with you?” the girl among the newcomers begged. When they first came in, they didn’t understand anything. They didn’t have experienced players taking care of them.
Chu Huai shook his head: “This is a couple activity, I can’t be separated from my… boyfriend.”
The girl’s eyes dimmed, but she heard Chu Huai say again: “How about this, after we four finish the ride, we will tell you our experience, is that okay?”
“Yes, yes!” the girl hurriedly said, her gratitude was beyond words.
Dong Anya has no objection to this either.
While speaking, the cockpit has reached the bottom, and the door slowly opened. This door is blue in appearance.
The doors of the Ferris wheel have three colors, red, yellow, and blue. The next door is red, and the next one is yellow, and so on.
Jin Tianyi first stepped into the cockpit steadily and then turned around to pull Chu Huai. I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the door shook a little bit.
Chu Huai took Jin Tianyi’s hand and was about to go up. One foot had already stepped out, and his center of gravity was a little unstable.
Chu Huai felt a little weird for no reason. After he stood firmly, he sat on the side next to the door. Zhou Xiuwen was about to go up next time, but a strange scene happened. The door… closed without warning.
Jin Tianyi, who was still standing, realized something, and immediately put his hands on the door. The door was clearly unlocked, but he couldn’t open it no matter how hard he pulled.
He turned his head and looked at Chu Huai.
“Zhou Xiuwen!” Dong Anya’s scream suddenly came from below.
Chu Huai immediately stood up, put his face close to the window of the cockpit, and looked down. Just now Zhou Xiuwen stepped into their cabin, but now he was in front of the cabin with the red door behind them!
As if someone was pushing Zhou Xiuwen from behind, Zhou Xiuwen staggered and fell forward into the red door!

Dong Anya was still anxiously talking to Zhou Xiuwen, but Chu Huai could still hear the broken sound, which stopped abruptly when the door was closed. The door is like a completely closed space, and no sound can come out.
Chu Huai looked down, and the newcomers looked terrified. They were so frightened that they immediately fled from the hatch at the bottom, and stood not far away, panting.
Jin Tianyi pressed him lightly to let him sit down, and sat opposite him, saying: “One cabin can only seat two people.”
Although the cabin can accommodate four people, but, as a couple activity, how can four people really be allowed to go up?
The Ferris wheel was slowly rising, and Chu Huai also calmed down.
Jin Tianyi: “No surveillance.” In fact, there is nothing in the grid except people.
“20 minutes.” Chu Huai jumped up and said.
Jin Tianyi only paused for a second before he understood what he meant. According to the rotation speed and radius of the Ferris wheel, Chu Huai roughly estimated the time it would take for the Ferris wheel to make one revolution.
From boarding to disembarking, they have to stay in the closed cabin for about 20 minutes. In these 20 minutes, what will happen…?
The door couldn’t be opened, if a ghost really emerged, how would they escape?
The clues. Chu Huai muttered silently in his heart. He didn’t bring the folded piece of paper with him, and there were a total of twenty-five words. He analyzed it countless times in the two days after he got the clue, and he had already learned it by heart by now.
As they went up, the roller coaster caught their eyes. Chu Huai looked down at his watch, it was eight forty-two.
The first round of the roller coaster started at 8:40. At this time, the roller coaster had started slowly and was about to enter the first downhill.
Being far away, Chu Huai was slightly nearsighted, and could only see three or four heads on the roller coaster. That guy with gray hair is particularly eye-catching.
“Any ideas?” Chu Huai turned around and lightly kicked Jin Tianyi.
Jin Tianyi leaned against the window and looked at the top. After a brief silence, the Ferris wheel had already run a quarter of the way.
He didn’t speak, and he already had a preliminary idea in his mind.
Chu Huai was not in a hurry, as there was no hint at the moment, guessing out of thin air would be a waste of his brain, he thought that he and Jin Tianyi were in front, Dong Anya and Zhou Xiuwen below were safer, and his irritability also dissipated a little.
At this time, they were already sixty meters above the ground, which was equivalent to the height of a dozen or twenty floors. Looking down, the playground in the dark had a strange beauty, weird and mysterious.
On the yellow roller coaster track, the roller coaster is running rapidly. It has circled three loops in a row and is about to start climbing again.
Chu Huai looked to the west, poked Jin Tianyi, and said with a dark face, “Fairy Tale Princess Park.”
Jin Tianyi looked, and the images of Snow White and Cinderella, which were five or six meters high, made of lanterns could be seen far away, it looked stupid.
Chu Huai tilted his head and looked out the window, Jin Tianyi looked away and looked at Chu Huai’s quiet face.
The accident happened in an instant. The pupils of Chu Huai, who was paying close attention to the roller coaster, suddenly dilated!
In the distance, the roller coaster bypassed the highest loop and entered a slightly lower track. However… the track at the highest point seemed to suffer from huge gravity and began to sag!
The moment the rail fell, Chu Huai blurted out: “The sword of Damocles!”
He finally figured it out, but it was too late.
The extremely heavy track was pressed down, hitting the fast-moving roller coaster! Chu Huai couldn’t hear the sound, but he knew it must have been a loud collision.
Blood dripped slowly from the yellow roller coaster, slowly soaking the bottom rails.
The roller coaster stretches for more than a thousand meters. In front of the haunted house, the whistling roller coaster disappears in the blink of an eye. Someone subconsciously touched his face and screamed with trembling hands: “Blood!!”
A gray-haired head fell from the air.
Jin Tianyi clenched Chu Huai’s hand tightly. Chu Huai’s pupils dimmed slightly, and he smiled wryly at him: “I’ve been thinking about why several of the clues are related to Greek mythology, but this ‘Sword of Damocles’ is a Greek allusion, not a myth, but I didn’t pay too much attention to it, and still put them together and entered the playground. I found that there was a theme park of Greek mythology, and I even subconsciously thought that the sword of Damocles was a clue to the theme park of Greek mythology. I…”
“I didn’t expect it to be…a roller coaster,” he murmured.
This is his fault, if he had thought of it earlier, it would not have been like this…
Jin Tianyi felt a stab in his heart when he saw his downcast expression. He stood up suddenly and approached him, and the clear smell suddenly filled Chu Huai’s nostrils.
Chu Huai looked at him in a daze, Jin Tianyi didn’t speak and took his head into his arms.
Jin Tianyi put his hand on the back of his head, and said in a low and pleasant voice, “It’s not your fault.”
Jin Tianyi told the truth for the first time: “Chu…Jiao, you have to understand that the strong bear more responsibilities than the weak, but redemption is useless. The weak died because of their weakness. This is not your fault.”
“Without sufficient information, it is impossible for the taskers to foretell. Since there are clues, there must be a way out. They died in the end, which can only mean that they missed the way out.”
Chu Huai seldom listened to such a long speech from Jin Tianyi. His slightly frowned brows gradually relaxed.
He was always deliberately weakening his emotions, but Li Xingran’s death had a huge impact on him.
Jin Tianyi’s words reminded him that he only needs to do his best to protect the people he cares about.
Jin Tianyi felt that Chu Huai was tired from life. He hoped that Chu Huai would be more selfish, like Lou Ming.
“Thank you,” Chu Huai whispered, he paused, “…can you let me go?”
“Are you ashamed?” Jin Tianyi let go of him with a smile, and stood in front of the cockpit door, his back tall and straight.
Immediately… going to the top.
Chu Huai said behind his back: “The sword of Damocles, how high its status is, and how dangerous it is, implies that the higher the ring, the more dangerous it is, and a sharp sword hanging from the horse’s mane above Damocles’ head also implies that the essence of the danger is revealed, the player is Damocles in the scene, the collapsed loop is the sharp sword above the tasker’s head, and the mane of the horse is broken when the roller coaster enters the low track.”
“The sharp sword has fallen.” After he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a burst of relief.
In the distance, the twisted and deformed roller coaster was still running at high speed according to the original track, constantly throwing blood and corpses, which brought wave after wave of shock to the ones who saw it.
Jin Tianyi joked: “At least our chance of picking the right clue has now become 1 in 24.”
Chu Huai’s expression stagnated slightly: “…” You really know how to have fun while suffering.
Jin Tianyi looked down at the watch on his wrist slightly. Eight fifty. Nine minutes later, they will be at the top.
Chu Huai tilted his head and looked out of the window, a yellow door in front was already below.
“We’ve reached the top.” Jin Tianyi said calmly.
Chu Huai looked at his face and responded lightly.
The moment the Ferris wheel reached the top, Jin Tianyi quickly grasped the door and sat down as if feeling the sensation. Under Chu Huai’s astonished eyes, he clamped his legs and pushed him to the innermost door.
The hatch opened without warning.
The blue cabin they were in suddenly shook violently because Jin Tianyi held the door with his hand, Chu Huai just jolted a bit, and did not move in the direction of the door.
The cockpit sank down suddenly, and the rotation speed also slowed down.
Chu Huai and Jin Tianyi looked at each other, it seemed as if something… hung under the cockpit they were in.
The cockpit began to tilt to the right, and the wide open door was on the right. Under the action of gravity, Chu Huai’s body slid towards the door a little bit and stuck to Jin Tianyi’s back tightly. His face turned white.
Something… climbed up the left side of the cockpit.
Chu Huai turned his head and saw “it” on the window on the left side of their cabin.
What is “it”??? I’m scared >~<
Thanks (❁´◡`❁)♡
This is terrifying! Amusement parks can me made to be so frightening so easily! That’s probably because a lot of horrifying things actually can happen like a rollercoaster collapsing or falling out of a cabin from a ferris wheel.
I’m curious about what their clue is and if it will help them defend themselves against that thing.
Thank you for the chapter! <3
Uh only the thought of amusing park with so many rides where is too damn high I feel sick
