You need to pass through a room to enter the park, and the passing speed is very fast. Before long, Sean's group has already entered the room.
In the room, there was a row of tables, and behind the tables sat puppets with mottled bodies and peeling paint.
Their mouths are partially hollowed out and a round micro-horn inserted.
The old puppets looked very strange. They made mechanical movements while sitting and introduced:
"Because some facilities in the park are dangerous and may endanger your life, you must sign this agreement before entering the park..."
Sean picked up the agreement and read it one by one. They were basically disclaimers...
However, when he read the last clause in the agreement, he frowned:
“If a visitor loses his life due to using rides or participating in games in the park, the ownership of his soul will belong to the owner of the park.”
Moonlight also read this ridiculous clause, threw the agreement on the table, and asked: "What does this mean?
"If you die in the garden, your soul will be enslaved by you?"
The mottled puppet just repeated: "Because some facilities in the park are dangerous and may endanger your life, you must sign this agreement before entering the park..."
Knowing clearly the danger of this mission, Sean had already expected such terms.
However, what made him feel very strange was that the thousands of tourists in front of them, as well as the people signing next to them at this moment... No matter explorers or ordinary people, none of them wanted to leave because they had to sign such a terrifying agreement. ——
They all pressed their fingerprints and walked into Midnight Paradise.
"This is ridiculous." Moonlight spread her hands, as if she felt that the whole world was going crazy.
Father Taylor, who has been living in downtown, shook his head: "Eighteen thousand New Zealand dollars...
“It’s a number that many people can’t earn in their lifetime.
"People will do things you can't even imagine for money..."
"If you have ever seen a young man stabbing someone to death on the street for ten New Zealand dollars, and was eventually arrested by a correctional officer and sentenced to death...
"Perhaps you can understand why they signed without hesitation."
Sean, who was wearing the dark blue mask of the man from "The Last Dance", nodded: "Not only that, the restriction of this clause is 'loss of life due to use of rides or participation in games'..."
"That said, if you choose not to ride the rides, or participate in any of the games, you won't be at such risk."
Sean's eyes suddenly turned deep: "I believe that there are many people who enter the park with some kind of dark mentality."
Maybe they've heard about what happened in Midnight Paradise.
Therefore, they actually do not intend to win the grand prize, nor will they participate in any games. The only reason for them to enter the park is——
Want to see something exciting.
I want to witness the misery of some people...
If you want to enter the park, you can only sign this agreement.
And this agreement also explained Sean’s previous doubts:
Why are there dead explorers who become the security personnel of Midnight Paradise?
——
After entering the park, you are faced with a huge fountain. Behind the pool are forks leading to different areas.
The place was brightly lit, and a few old puppets walked slowly along the crowd, handing out balloons and glass bottles of wort drinks.
Ordinary people who wanted to watch the fun or try their luck were obviously more relaxed. They happily took the balloons and drank wort drinks.
The explorers had no leisure time and all ignored the balloons and drinks at hand.
"Where should we go first?" When entering the park, everyone got a colorful park guide, which recorded various areas and the points that can be obtained in the corresponding games. Moonlight asked habitually while immersed in the guide. With Sean's opinion.
At this time, some tourists around me were already trotting.
There are more detailed game rules in the garden guide. Now most people know that if you want to be promoted to the courtyard area, you need to accumulate 180 points.
The threshold for entering the castle area is 650 points.
Participate in games and win to earn points.
And only the teams that reach 650 points before the clock strikes midnight are eligible to compete for the final grand prize.
Therefore, everyone realized that the faster the better.
Not just the explorers, most people hurriedly rushed to the tents in the market area, wanting to start playing games to win points as soon as possible.
In this atmosphere, Moonlight raised her head from the guidebook with many projects, looking around a little anxiously, her boots tapping the ground lightly.
Sean stood calmly, holding the guide in his hand and not looking at it. He just raised his head and looked around.
After a while, he pointed to the most conspicuous thing that was quite close to the entrance - the Ferris wheel, and said, "Let's go ride the Ferris wheel first."
You can also get points by riding on amusement facilities, but the points are very low. Each person can only get 5 points.
If four people sit down in a circle, they can only get 20 points.
In comparison, if you become a big winner in many events, you can get 30 to 40 points in one go.
Riding the Ferris wheel is also very slow, which really wastes time...
Yueguang was a little confused and looked down at the guide to confirm: "But... Xiao, the score for riding the Ferris wheel is very low."
Under the blue dancer's mask, Sean's expression was relaxed: "Don't think so much, just come with me."
According to common sense, the Ferris wheel, which is closest to the entrance and attracts the most attention, should be the most popular ride.
But because many people are eager to earn points, not many tourists choose to ride the Ferris wheel.
When Sean's team arrived at the foot of the Ferris wheel, a small queue had already formed in front of them.
Yueguang counted nervously, and he found that there were hundreds of people who chose to ride the Ferris wheel.
The tourists drinking wort drinks seemed very excited at the moment and were talking loudly.
They choose the slow Ferris wheel with low points, obviously because they are not in a hurry to get points. These people really come to have fun.
There were also several teams of explorers in the team. The team in front looked back with some vigilance. Sean and others also chose this ride...
It was the first time for Olivia and Father Taylor to see such a magnificent thing. They looked up from the heads of the crowd——
Two huge A-shaped brackets supported a giant wheel that covered half of the sky.
The steel shaft of the giant wheel was dotted with countless light bulbs. This giant thing seemed like a miracle, brighter than the stars in the sky.
The lights illuminate the carriages suspended on the giant wheel - each carriage can seat twelve people and is also equipped with luxurious soft seats...
"This Ferris wheel is the same as the giant carriage-type Ferris wheel at the Gregorian World's Fair in 1893..." someone behind Sean's team said.
Sean and others turned their heads, and the New Testament reporter discovered that it was the explorer with the "Listener of All Creatures".
The gazes of several colleagues seemed to stimulate his interest in talking, and he continued: "The Ferris wheel at the Gregorian Expo was designed by George Felice. It has a diameter of 76 meters and a circumference of 251 meters. It takes 20 to rotate once. minute……"
"That Ferris wheel is named Felix Wheel.
"And this..." the listener's voice was soft, "the name is the Good Luck Ferris Wheel..."
"It's interesting to have good luck as a name."
Behind the listener stood two of his teammates.
One person wears a black rat mask with huge ears and rodents - "The Rat in the Hole", a black magic wizard with the ability to stealth. Usually represents the modern master of black magic.
One person's mask is "The Staggering Duke", a metal duckbill mask with an extremely bad temper. Even a dock worker with a strong body and a bad temper may be able to obtain this mask.
The Creature Listener introduced himself: “Forgive me for following the customs of explorers and hiding my true name.
"I can reveal to you that I am a dreamer...
“I have been working hard on animation.
"Although I have visited many amusement parks, none is as grand and... dreamy as this one."
"Today, after seeing this place, I have a completely new dream image."
The eyes of the "Listener of Creatures" flickered, as if he had already seen the future: "I dream that one day, I can create a 'Midnight Paradise' that belongs to me and the characters I drew...
"And that paradise will be located under the blue sky, welcoming people from all over the world to come and play!"
"Friends..." His passion also infected Sean and others, forcing them to look directly at this man who was so excited by the birth of a new dream that he couldn't help but share it with strangers.
"For me, this is a dangerous but exciting time.
“I love it because it’s full of possibilities.
"It gives people permission to dream boldly...
“It also allows people to turn their absurd dreams into reality!
"Gentlemen, in this era, you must, must dream."
He looked at the noisy people in front of him, at the brightly lit Ferris wheel, and his eyes seemed to have traveled to the future where dreams come true...
