Sean never imagined that this "happy place" with a strange and dangerous atmosphere outside Kensington Park would actually ignite the passion of a dreamer.
He would not have expected that this passion would continue to burn, allowing this tall and lanky young man to get what he wanted decades later...
As if infected by the listener's passion, Yue Guang made a face-to-face salute: "I hope your dreams come true."
The other party immediately responded with the same courtesy: "God favors you, sir."
At this time, the puppets under the Ferris wheel had opened the gate, and the team slowly moved forward.
After talking with each other, Sean learned that the reason why the Soul Listeners chose the Ferris wheel with a lower score as the first project was because they were not here for the grand prize.
“I’m not really interested in money…” said the real-life animator, “and we were just passing through in the New Testament.
“Before, I was tricked by a Hollywood producer—he bribed all the crew members and took away the rights to use an animated character I designed.
"Honestly, it makes me sick."
"I came here just to find inspiration and relax..."
His voice gradually dropped, and he stared at the chest where the moonlight was stirring with obvious curiosity.
There was something bulging there, like a restlessly beating heart.
"Mr. Tuner..." The listener looked at Yueguang's chest with fascination, "Can you introduce this friend of yours to me?"
Few explorers are aware that Moonlight always carries a companion in her pocket - Miss White, the white mouse.
Creature listeners can not only understand the language of animals, but are also very sensitive to their presence.
Having a good impression of the animator in front of her, Moonlight carefully took out Miss White from her inner pocket and placed it on the listener's hand, which seemed to be nestled into a small bed...
Miss White, who originally didn't like being touched by strangers, was now lying peacefully in his hand, her pink nose twitching slightly, smelling the scent of this new friend...
"what is her name?"
"You can call her Miss White," Moonlight lit a Swan cigarette, "she was my only good companion..."
Suddenly looking at Sean next to her, Yue Guang smiled happily.
Gently stroking the mouse's back, this somewhat special explorer listened to the moonlight telling the story of his acquaintance with Miss White...
The team moved slowly, and while Moonlight was telling the story, the listeners sometimes stared at White and sometimes looked at Moonlight.
When they finally stood under the Ferris wheel and were about to be assigned to different carriages, the listener returned the mouse to the pianist.
"Mr. Tuner...I admire your friendship." Under the mask, he said with shining eyes, "While listening to your story, a cute little character emerged in my heart...
"A clever, cute mouse who can always save the day from danger.
"I think that when I go back, I will be able to create characters that are more popular with people."
Moonlight asked excitedly: "Is it based on Miss White?"
"That's right." The animator also laughed.
The pianist rubbed the mouse's head with his fingers: "Miss White, you are going to be animated - you are such a lucky person!"
Unable to be assigned to the same car, Sean, Moonlight and their group said goodbye to the listeners and walked towards the car in front.
While listening to the conversation between Moonlight and the listener with great interest, Sean's thoughts drifted in another direction...
The "Listener of Creatures" reminded him that the name of this Ferris wheel is "Good Luck Ferris Wheel".
No one would be too curious about this name.
However, Sean is different.
Because of his profession, he is very sensitive to words and vocabulary...
Under the mask, he frowned, and while boarding the Ferris wheel carriage, he thought to himself: "Good Luck Ferris Wheel...
"Why in the name of 'good luck'?"
Thinking that there was no answer yet, the Ferris wheel continued to spin, letting their section of the carriage lift off the ground so that the tourists behind them could enter the next section of the carriage.
The carriage rose slowly. Olivia and Moonlight looked at the scenery outside the window curiously. Taylor sat on the sofa with his eyes closed and meditated, while Sean began to pay attention to the other tourists in the carriage.
In addition to the four of them, there are eight tourists in this carriage, five men and three women, all young non-explorers.
They all seemed excited to board the Ferris wheel, and all of them had rosy faces and smiles.
For some reason, Sean suddenly had an ominous premonition.
His heart was beating fast, making him want to jump out of the car and leave here.
"Calm down, calm down..." Sean closed his eyes, "No matter what happens, treat and handle it calmly."
Thinking this way, the strong sense of crisis in my heart subsided a little.
"Wow, look, John!" In the carriage, a fat lady pointed to the scenery that suddenly appeared outside the window due to the height increase.
Moonlight and Olivia couldn't help but kneel on the cushions, looking out the window with their eyes wide open...
Both Taylor and Sean opened their eyes and cast their gazes calmly.
Their section of the car has reached the waist upwards of the Ferris wheel. At this moment, they can gradually get a bird's eye view of the Midnight Paradise.
Seeing the scenery outside the window, Sean had a deeper resonance with the previous words of the "Creature Listener".
"Although I have visited many amusement parks, none is as grand and... dreamy as this one."
The continuous amusement tents are connected together by colorful lights, like Chinese clothes and sparkling jewelry laid out on the ground. People are walking through them with laughter, as if they are visiting the collection of a giant...
The carousel is like an exquisite toy at the moment, placed in the darkest corner of the paradise. It is radiant with light and casts people's shadows, long and short, as if dancing with the wooden horse and music.
There was a clown performing in the theater, and people's laughter reached high in the sky.
Here we can finally see the situation in the "courtyard area" hidden by trees. There are huge buildings and a hill that seems to have been hollowed out. The invisible children are cheering towards it in the light of the fire, which makes people feel... It’s like visiting Lilliput…
The castle in the distance looked like a dazzling palace in the sky, and the palace was right next to her.
You can even see the bright lights of the castle and the figures reflected in the windows...
The Ferris wheel continues to rise, and carriages can be seen standing at the gate of the castle like exquisite ornaments.
Could it be that there was a dance going on?
Such a view...
Sean even had to keep reminding himself that this place wasn't really a happy place.
"This is the 'spiritual world' created by that terrible being called 'Peter Pan'!"
Sean closed his eyes and dispelled the beautiful feelings rising in his heart that wanted to linger here...
It is unclear whether this kind of attachment is caused by the demonic nature of the spirit world itself, or simply because of the beauty created by Midnight Paradise...
After a moment, Sean opened his eyes, finally able to focus on what he was about to do.
"Guys..." he said, looking at Taylor, "Dad..."
His call immediately attracted the attention of his teammates, "Why did you choose to board the Ferris wheel first? I think I should tell you the reason..."
