Looking back, the door to the courtyard area with torches turned into the only warm color in this place.
But that warm scene lingers in Sean's mind...
A puppet that is clearly crying but still welcomes visitors.
At this time, Sean's team had entered the high shrub garden on the inside of the courtyard area.
As the captain, Sean walked in the front, and Olivia followed Sean closely.
Moonlight and Father Taylor walked side by side behind.
"Guys..." Sean turned around and whispered, "You should have noticed just now, that weird puppet.
"Obviously, he was crying."
Outside the courtyard area, the visibility is obviously very good, but in this mysterious garden, the fog is gradually rising.
When Sean turned around, he couldn't even see the faces of Taylor and Moonlight clearly. He continued:
"It's time to tell me another guess——
"About where Mrs. Dominic might be, and what the point of this damn open house is..."
They turned a corner and lost sight of the entrance behind them.
There are still tall wall-like shrubs around you, as if you have entered a huge labyrinth garden.
Behind them, the team members were silent, listening to Sean's story.
"Do you guys still remember?
"The people who fell to death on the Good Luck Ferris Wheel were all loaded into carriages and transported to the direction of the castle?"
Behind him, Yueguang and others replied by default.
"Combined with the weird agreement signed when entering the park, I think..."
At this moment, Sean himself felt a little creepy: "I think that the bodies of those dead tourists were wiped out, and their souls were stuffed into those puppets to serve as the 'staff' of the park..."
"They have forgotten their identity and can only be used as tools here forever."
A hint of cool air penetrated her clothes and penetrated her skin, making Yue Guang shiver involuntarily.
"And those dead explorers...
Sean flashed before his eyes, the scene of the bullet-riddled body of the "Bounty Town Robber" being dragged away.
Then, he seemed to see that the red plaid mask was stained with black and red blood, and the dead body of the explorer, who was lifeless from head to toe, stood up again.
"The dead explorers have become the 'security personnel' of this paradise."
The same goes for the "mysterious gentleman" and "evil hunter" guarding the gate - they died in the park during the previous opening day, so they became the park's security.
“Why are we holding this open house?
"The reason is obvious.
"Whether they are puppets as staff or security guards of the park, they will gradually decay because of their resentment and degenerate into completely irrational evil spirits, and can no longer be used by Peter Pan...
“So, Peter Pan will hold open house events from time to time, using huge bonuses to attract explorers and ordinary people, and using the weird wort drink to retain them, allowing them to participate in games and die unfortunately...
“To fill the park’s staff.”
The puppet at the door that shed tears of wax was obviously about to turn into a wraith.
The fundamental purpose of the so-called "Open Day" event is to make up for the loss of staff in "Midnight Paradise".
"So, guys..." Sean said, thinking of Mrs. Dominic who was abducted by the shadow, "it's not difficult to imagine the situation of little Thomas's mother at this moment."
She is now most likely imprisoned in a puppet in paradise, suffering horrific slavery.
"If the truth is indeed like this," under the blue mask, Sean looked straight ahead obscured by the fog, "I want to terminate that agreement...
"Only to find Peter Pan."
In his mind, the figure of the mysterious boy wearing a black suit and inviting the children to play appeared.
After turning a few corners based on his feeling, Sean realized that the entrance area of the courtyard area was indeed a "garden maze".
The challenge they face now is to get out of this increasingly foggy maze.
"Guys..." Sean turned his head and wanted to explain his next purpose, but found that——
Behind him, all his teammates, including Olivia Wind Chime, disappeared.
The strong heart still inevitably trembled.
"You can obviously still feel their breath...
"But no one can be seen."
Sean did not panic, he just stopped and analyzed calmly: "It seems that there is some kind of special mechanical magic in this maze garden...
"It isolates all entrants."
Break up the team that could have relied on each other and make everyone isolated...
This sudden sense of isolation will affect the participant no matter how strong his nerves are.
In the mist maze where he could barely see his hands and fingers, Sean couldn't help but feel the hair on his body stand up...
Shock Explorer Poker, failed to get a response.
The crimson bond connecting Olivia seemed to stretch into the void.
Using a unique method to control the sudden fear, Sean calmed down a little: "The game in the courtyard area has already started when you step into the door...
"I just have to keep moving forward."
He knew the strength of his teammates and was not overly worried about their situation.
Calmly extending the spiritual path to explore, Sean gradually walked out of the area with the deepest fog.
Gradually, he could see clearly ten meters away; after walking for a while, the clouds and mist in the sky dispersed, revealing the crescent moon and stars that he had not seen for a long time.
There is still no trace or whereabouts of the teammates. However, Sean already has the confidence to get out of this mysterious garden.
"As long as you go out, you can meet them again."
Thinking of this, the originally agitated heart further calmed down.
He walked into a long straight road. Under the icy moonlight, Sean saw that there seemed to be something at the end of the road.
He frowned and looked carefully...
At the end of the straight road, there was a figure standing upright.
At this moment, the fog has dissipated, and the cold moonlight illuminates the corners of the quiet garden, outlining the shadows of tall shrubs like walls.
The figure stood motionless in the shadow of the bushes, unable to see clearly.
"Is it an enemy...or is it?" Sean continued walking forward cautiously.
He suddenly discovered that when he stepped forward, the figure at the end of the straight road also walked over with the same frequency and pace.
And when he stopped, the strange figure opposite also stopped.
Standing in the shadows, motionless.
Sean frowned: "He's imitating me?"
First, his teammates disappeared inexplicably, and then he encountered such a strange obstacle.
Sean's heart felt uneasy again.
However, he turned the wild waves into some kind of burning power:
“No matter what is on the other side, I can only move forward.
"If he wants to stop me..."
Sean's ectoplasm has already grasped the carbine in his stomach bag, and his other ectoplasmic hand is placed next to various bullets...
"Don't blame me for being rude."
The New Testament reporter continued to walk forward, and the strange imitator also moved.
The scene in front of him gave Sean a sudden hallucination: it was as if there was a mirror with no edge visible in the center of this long road.
What is getting closer is my own reflection in the mirror.
However, Sean quickly denied this suspicion.
As the distance got closer, he could already see the details of the other party clearly——
The person opposite was wearing a dusty shirt and plaid pants with suspenders covered with dust.
The feeling of being covered in dust is like being lost in this maze for hundreds of years...
What's even weirder is that the other party is wearing an old clown mask, and on his face with mottled oil paint, there is a smile that makes people's hair stand on end...
