Chapter 87: Bah! Who the hell wants to play again?!
Wen Jianyan heard a buzzing sound in his ear, and a strong and hot stream of blood hit his eardrums.
Perhaps because he clearly knew that he was violating the rules, every part of his body involuntarily tensed up, alert to any possible danger that might arise next.
He walked straight toward the control room.
Nothing weird happened along the way.
Wen Jianyan took a deep breath and looked up at the paper pasted on the glass.
The paper had been slightly yellowed, the corners were curled up, and it looked like it had been around for a while. There were a few large, bold characters printed on the top, which inexplicably give people a horrible feeling:
[Fantasy Amusement Park Staff Rules]
No matter how enlarged it was before, the hazy sensation of being purposefully obscured by some kind of power vanished, and beneath the title was a line of tiny words that read:
Welcome to Fantasy Amusement Park and become the operator of the roller coaster project in the Thriller Zone. The park will provide high-quality benefits for employees, including but not limited to a high year-end bonus, three months of annual leave, and a full set of personal safety insurance.

The last line of writing was blacked out.
The corners of the rules were slightly rolled up, and there seemed to be writing underneath.
Wen Jianyan carefully tore off the tape sticking to the paper and turned the paper to the back.
Sure enough, there were words on the back.
[Emergency Handling Rules for Roller Coaster Project Equipment Operators]
1. If you violate the rule [1], please refer to page 5, 2.1.2 of the employee rules.
2. If you violate the rule [2], please refer to page 8, 1.1.3 of the employee rules.
3. If you find yourself entering a similar but different workplace when you are at work and you cannot leave, please always remember that you are alone, and no one will speak in your ear, nor will anyone call your name behind your back, and no one will touch your shoulder; all you will see and hear will be hallucinations! Please empty your mind as much as possible, call the phone number below, and wait for the rescue.
Wen Jianyan’s eyes fell on the end of the paper, where there was a line of phone numbers written with a fountain pen.
He took out his cell phone and dialed tentatively.
“Lalala, lalala…”
A weird and cheerful ringtone rang from the phone’s microphone, repeating non-stop, but no one answered the phone.
A finger tapped Wen Jianyan’s shoulder: “Hey.”
Wen Jianyan reflexively wanted to turn his head, but just before his muscles moved, he abruptly forced himself back.
There was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and he felt a little heart palpitation for a while.
His heart was pounding wildly.
He noticed that his vigilance was not low, but it was only a momentary distraction, and he almost committed a taboo.
He couldn’t wait any longer.
Wen Jianyan folded the paper with rules and stuffed it into his pocket, and he quickly walked toward the four anchors standing not far away, repeating the sentence in the staff rules just now in his mind:
[Please always remember that you are alone, and no one will speak in your ear, nor will you call your name behind your back, and no one will touch your shoulder; all you will see and hear will be hallucinations!]
Wen Ya, Ball, Chuan Ze, and Lilith stood at the entrance of the closed tunnel, guessing the reason why they couldn’t leave.
At this moment, they felt something tap their shoulders, and a very familiar voice sounded in their ears: “Hey, look quickly.”
The four of them turned their heads reflexively—
Suddenly, two warm hands stretched out from behind, firmly supporting the heads of two of them and preventing them from turning their heads.
Wen Jianyan gasped for breath; it was obvious that he had rushed all the way here:
“Don’t look back!”
He gritted his teeth.
The two people held by the neck were successfully stopped.
But the problem was, he only had two hands.
The other two people farther away from him were not so lucky.
Ball and Chuan Ze turned their heads, and their pupils dilated slightly. Their expressions were calm and dull, as if they had seen something pleasant, and the corners of their mouths were slowly pulled together, showing a trance smile.
“Ka Ka, Ka Ka…”
The eerie sound of bones rubbing against each other echoed in the empty darkness, making one’s scalp tingle.
They seemed to be unable to hear other people’s voices at all, and they seemed to see something that others could not see. The corners of their mouths are raised high, and their smiles were getting bigger and bigger—
“Kaka…”
Their heads rotated little by little, not like they were controlled by some external force; on the contrary, it seemed to be their own initiative. Their long, pale necks gradually twisted into an angle completely beyond the limits of human beings, and the arc of head rotation increased, gradually increasing to 180 degrees.
“Crack!”
Accompanied by the teeth-stinging sounds of bones cracking, the bodies of the two people suddenly softened and fell directly to the ground.
——It was exactly the same method of death as the corpse on the roller coaster.
“…!!!”
Wen Ya’s eyes constricted, staring at the two corpses on the ground.
Lilith’s face was pale, her originally gorgeous lips trembled slightly, and two horrified sobs escaped from the depths of her throat. If she hadn’t been supported by Wen Jianyan, she would have almost subconsciously collapsed.
“You two don’t look back, listen to me.”
Wen Jianyan said at the fastest speed:
“This project is not over yet. The roller coaster will only stay for ten minutes before driving away again. We must hurry back to it, but we can’t look back, understand?”
Wen Ya nodded.
With tears in her eyes, Lilith nodded tremblingly.
Wen Jianyan said in a deep and calm voice: “I counted it when I came here. It is less than 20 meters from here to the roller coaster. By walking backward, it will soon be over. No matter what sound you hear or who touches you, you are forbidden to look back!”
“Okay, I’m going to let go.”
Wen Jianyan slowly withdrew his hand while speaking.
The three of them walked slowly together, stepping backward step by step.
Only the sound of the soles of feet rubbing against the ground could be heard, once, twice. Because they couldn’t see the road behind them, the sound of the backward footsteps was slow and dull. They hesitatingly stepped back step by step, looking for the next flat foothold.
Thump thump thump.
Their hearts were beating wildly in their ears, the adrenaline soared to the extreme, and everyone fell into a state of extreme panic and tension, but for some reason, there was no cry from behind or the feeling of being touched, but, this feeling of endless suspension was the most tormenting.
There was only dead silence.
One step leads to the next.
The road behind them stretched into the darkness like it had no end, like being blindfolded and walking into the abyss step by step.
One step, then the next, and then the next.
“Twenty meters…why hasn’t it arrived yet?”
Lilith stared wide-eyed in the darkness, tears rolling down her cheeks uncontrollably, her voice full of panic.
She felt that her neck was sore, every part of her body was trembling, and her heart was beating wildly as if it was about to rush out of her chest. Intense panic was piling up deep in her body, and her nerves were stretched to the extreme, like a string that was about to be snapped in a second.
Twenty meters…
How could it be so long?
She felt like she had been walking for at least ten minutes!
There was no end, no edge, no limit, just an unstoppable retreat, retreat, and retreat.
The roar of the roller coaster engine came from behind.
“Ten minutes are up! The roller coaster is leaving!”
Lilith screamed uncontrollably.
No one answered her.
There was no sound from behind.
It was like an empty cliff, with only the abyss displayed underfoot.
She wanted to turn around to see if she had been left here alone, but at the last moment, she remembered the initial warning and stopped her movements abruptly.
Too quiet.
It was too quiet.
Why was it so quiet?
Lilith felt like she was going crazy.
She was gasping for breath, her chest was nearly exploding, her eyes were bursting with red blood, and the pain in her neck was stagnating. She knew she couldn’t turn back, but there was a voice screaming in her mind:
Turn back!
Turn back!
Turn back!
There was a creaking sound from her cervical spine, and Lilith felt that her muscles had lost control, and her heavy head was turning little by little, turning back—
No, no… no no no no!
Lilith screamed in her mind, but she couldn’t help turning her head little by little uncontrollably—
“Lalala, lalala…”
A strange and cheerful nursery rhyme sounded as if it was played from a poor-quality speaker. It was distorted and echoed in the ears of the three of them.
No one knew if it was an illusion, but the head that was still very chaotic and drowsy suddenly shook, like the buzzing of a bell, which immediately woke people up.
There was thin sweat on Wen Jianyan’s forehead; on his pale face, there was a little nervous redness on his cheekbones, and his chest heaved rapidly.
He held the phone tightly in his hand, and the word “connecting” was displayed on the screen.
It turned out that this was why they had to call the number below and wait for rescue.
Rule 7 in the [Through the Jungle-themed Roller Coaster Rules]:
The music equipment will not stop for no reason. If the equipment stops playing music during the journey, please contact the staff immediately and leave the track and its surrounding area as quickly as possible.
This meant the music playing on the roller coaster should have the effect of reducing or even resisting mental pollution.
And the ringtone of this emergency call was exactly this music.
The reason why the employee rules allowed the trapped employee to make a phone call was that there should be no roller coaster around the trapped employee, so it was necessary to find a way to create this piece of music.
Amidst the weird nursery rhymes, Wen Jianyan backed away, step by step.
Suddenly, he felt that his collar was suddenly grabbed by a cold hand, and then he was dragged back violently!
His pupils shrank.
In the next second, the back of his knee and leg hit some kind of hard barrier, and the whole person fell backward!
A feeling of dizziness came, and Wen Jianyan found himself sitting on the roller coaster.
The machine under his body seemed to be slowly starting; the roar of the engine was mixed with the cheerful music that was already completely normal, and the vehicle seemed to have regained its power and was slowly moving forward.
“You okay; come and help!” Yun Bilan’s voice came from the front.
He saw that the other two anchors didn’t know about it, and they were still stepping backward step by step.
Wen Jianyan limped up and, together with Yun Bilan and Elise, dragged the other two onto the roller coaster before it accelerated!
Several people slumped on the roller coaster, panting heavily.
Wen Jianyan suddenly thought of something and stood up with difficulty to look out, and then his pupils shrank: “Hurry up, there is a turn ahead! Sit back in your seat quickly! Fasten your seat belt! “
This instance is too bad! ! !
Ahead was a turn of the roller coaster! ! !
The head down kind!
The few people who hadn’t rested hurriedly jumped up again, rushed to the vacant seat, sat down as fast as possible, pulled on the safety device, and buckled it—
The next second, the roller coaster speeded up!
“Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh—”
A series of screams reached the sky.
***
The wheels of the roller coaster rubbed against the rails, making a piercing metal scream, and the speed gradually slowed down, driving into a dark tunnel little by little.
“Screech——“
The roller coaster door opened automatically, and the safety devices buckled on everyone’s shoulders also automatically rose.
A green-haired clown poked its head out from the operating room and said to the anchors on the roller coaster:
“This roller coaster is over. Everyone can go back the same way, if you want to play again, you can queue up again!”
Bah! Who the hell wants to play again?!
After confirming that everything was normal and that the exit of the tunnel not far away was indeed the exit, the anchors breathed a sigh of relief. Their legs were trembling, and they walked out slowly, dragging their numb and weak bodies.
The dark tunnel was left behind, and they stepped into the light again, which made them feel like they entered a different world.
“Finally came out…”
Wen Jianyan’s voice was trembling, and his legs were weak. If Yun Bilanyan hadn’t held him up quickly, he might have fallen to the ground.
With a pale face, he dragged his two sore legs, forced himself to run to the side, and then vomited in a daze.
Wen Ya turned her head and glanced at the entrance with lingering fear.
The clown who sold the tickets before was gone, and the sign “Closed Business” was placed on the table. Obviously, after they cleared customs, this roller coaster project would no longer be open to other anchors.
At this moment, Lilith’s hoarse voice came from the side:
“Water… Is there any water?”
Wen Ya was startled and turned to look at her teammates beside her.
Only to see the other party scratching her fair face with his beautiful and slender nails, strange skin flakes falling down one after another, her lips dry and cracked, trembling slightly. Her eyes were also trembling as if she couldn’t focus, and there was a strange sense of discomfort in her eyes:
“I’m so thirsty.”
“Crack.”
She scratched her cheek, red spots oozing from her fair skin.
“Is there any water?”
Lilith swallowed with difficulty, stuck out her tongue, and licked the corner of her chapped mouth:
“I’m so thirsty.”
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

Please empty your mind as much as possible, call the phone number below, and wait for the rescue.Wen Jianyan's eyes fell on the end of the paper, where there was a line of phone numbers written with a fountain pen.He took out his cell phone and dialed tentatively.Lalala, lalalaA weird and cheerful ringtone rang from the phone's microphone, repeating non-stop, but no one answered the phone.A finger tapped Wen Jianyan's shoulder: Hey.Wen Jianyan reflexively wanted to turn his head, but just before his muscles moved, he abruptly forced himself back.There was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and he felt a little heart palpitation for a while.His heart was pounding wildly.He noticed that his vigilance was not low, but it was only a momentary distraction, and he almost committed a taboo.He couldn't wait any longer.Wen Jianyan folded the paper with rules and stuffed it into his pocket, and he quickly walked toward the four anchors standing not far away, repeating the sentence in the staff rules just now in his mind:Please always remember that you are alone, and no one will speak in your ear, nor will you call your name behind your back, and no one will touch your shoulder; all you will see and hear will be hallucinations!Wen Ya, Ball, Chuan Ze, and Lilith stood at the entrance of the closed tunnel, guessing the reason why they couldn't leave.At this moment, they felt something tap their shoulders, and a very familiar voice sounded in their ears: Hey, look quickly.The four of them turned their heads reflexivelySuddenly, two warm hands stretched out from behind, firmly supporting the heads of two of them and preventing them from turning their heads.Wen Jianyan gasped for breath; it was obvious that he had rushed all the way here:Don't look back!He gritted his teeth.The two people held by the neck were successfully stopped.But the problem was, he only had two hands.The other two people farther away from him were not so lucky.Ball and Chuan Ze turned their heads, and their pupils dilated slightly. Their expressions were calm and dull, as if they had seen something pleasant, and the corners of their mouths were slowly pulled together, showing a trance smile.Ka Ka, Ka KaThe eerie sound of bones rubbing against each other echoed in the empty darkness, making one's scalp tingle.They seemed to be unable to hear other people's voices at all, and they seemed to see something that others could not see. The corners of their mouths are raised high, and their smiles were getting bigger and biggerKakaTheir heads rotated little by little, not like they were controlled by some external force; on the contrary, it seemed to be their own initiative. Their long, pale necks gradually twisted into an angle completely beyond the limits of human beings, and the arc of head rotation increased, gradually increasing to 180 degrees.Crack!Accompanied by the teeth-stinging sounds of bones cracking, the bodies of the two people suddenly softened and fell directly to the ground.It was exactly the same method of death as the corpse on the roller coaster.!!!Wen Ya's eyes constricted, staring at the two corpses on the ground.Lilith's face was pale, her originally gorgeous lips trembled slightly, and two horrified sobs escaped from the depths of her throat. If she hadn't been supported by Wen Jianyan, she would have almost subconsciously collapsed.You two don't look back, listen to me.Wen Jianyan said at the fastest speed:This project is not over yet. The roller coaster will only stay for ten minutes before driving away again. We must hurry back to it, but we can't look back, understand?Wen Ya nodded.With tears in her eyes, Lilith nodded tremblingly.Wen Jianyan said in a deep and calm voice: I counted it when I came here. It is less than 20 meters from here to the roller coaster. By walking backward, it will soon be over. No matter what sound you hear or who touches you, you are forbidden to look back!Okay, I'm going to let go.Wen Jianyan slowly withdrew his hand while speaking.The three of them walked slowly together, stepping backward step by step.Only the sound of the soles of feet rubbing against the ground could be heard, once, twice. Because they couldn't see the road behind them, the sound of the backward footsteps was slow and dull. They hesitatingly stepped back step by step, looking for the next flat foothold.Thump thump thump.Their hearts were beating wildly in their ears, the adrenaline soared to the extreme, and everyone fell into a state of extreme panic and tension, but for some reason, there was no cry from behind or the feeling of being touched, but, this feeling of endless suspension was the most tormenting.There was only dead silence.One step leads to the next.The road behind them stretched into the darkness like it had no end, like being blindfolded and walking into the abyss step by step.One step, then the next, and then the next.Twenty meterswhy hasn't it arrived yet?Lilith stared wide-eyed in the darkness, tears rolling down her cheeks uncontrollably, her voice full of panic.She felt that her neck was sore, every part of her body was trembling, and her heart was beating wildly as if it was about to rush out of her chest. Intense panic was piling up deep in her body, and her nerves were stretched to the extreme, like a string that was about to be snapped in a second.Twenty metersHow could it be so long?She felt like she had been walking for at least ten minutes!There was no end, no edge, no limit, just an unstoppable retreat, retreat, and retreat.The roar of the roller coaster engine came from behind.Ten minutes are up! The roller coaster is leaving!Lilith screamed uncontrollably.No one answered her.There was no sound from behind.It was like an empty cliff, with only the abyss displayed underfoot.She wanted to turn around to see if she had been left here alone, but at the last moment, she remembered the initial warning and stopped her movements abruptly.Too quiet.It was too quiet.Why was it so quiet?Lilith felt like she was going crazy.She was gasping for breath, her chest was nearly exploding, her eyes were bursting with red blood, and the pain in her neck was stagnating. She knew she couldn't turn back, but there was a voice screaming in her mind:Turn back!Turn back!Turn back!There was a creaking sound from her cervical spine, and Lilith felt that her muscles had lost control, and her heavy head was turning little by little, turning backNo, no no no no no!Lilith screamed in her mind, but she couldn't help turning her head little by little uncontrollablyLalala, lalalaA strange and cheerful nursery rhyme sounded as if it was played from a poor-quality speaker. It was distorted and echoed in the ears of the three of them.No one knew if it was an illusion, but the head that was still very chaotic and drowsy suddenly shook, like the buzzing of a bell, which immediately woke people up.There was thin sweat on Wen Jianyan's forehead; on his pale face, there was a little nervous redness on his cheekbones, and his chest heaved rapidly.He held the phone tightly in his hand, and the word connecting was displayed on the screen.It turned out that this was why they had to call the number below and wait for rescue.Rule 7 in the Through the Jungle-themed Roller Coaster Rules:The music equipment will not stop for no reason. If the equipment stops playing music during the journey, please contact the staff immediately and leave the track and its surrounding area as quickly as possible.This meant the music playing on the roller coaster should have the effect of reducing or even resisting mental pollution.And the ringtone of this emergency call was exactly this music.The reason why the employee rules allowed the trapped employee to make a phone call was that there should be no roller coaster around the trapped employee, so it was necessary to find a way to create this piece of music.Amidst the weird nursery rhymes, Wen Jianyan backed away, step by step.Suddenly, he felt that his collar was suddenly grabbed by a cold hand, and then he was dragged back violently!His pupils shrank.In the next second, the back of his knee and leg hit some kind of hard barrier, and the whole person fell backward!A feeling of dizziness came, and Wen Jianyan found himself sitting on the roller coaster.The machine under his body seemed to be slowly starting; the roar of the engine was mixed with the cheerful music that was already completely normal, and the vehicle seemed to have regained its power and was slowly moving forward.You okay; come and help! Yun Bilan's voice came from the front.He saw that the other two anchors didn't know about it, and they were still stepping backward step by step.Wen Jianyan limped up and, together with Yun Bilan and Elise, dragged the other two onto the roller coaster before it accelerated!Several people slumped on the roller coaster, panting heavily.Wen Jianyan suddenly thought of something and stood up with difficulty to look out, and then his pupils shrank: Hurry up, there is a turn ahead! Sit back in your seat quickly! Fasten your seat belt! This instance is too bad! ! !Ahead was a turn of the roller coaster! ! !The head down kind!The few people who hadn't rested hurriedly jumped up again, rushed to the vacant seat, sat down as fast as possible, pulled on the safety device, and buckled itThe next second, the roller coaster speeded up!AaaaaaaahhhhhhhA series of screams reached the sky.***The wheels of the roller coaster rubbed against the rails, making a piercing metal scream, and the speed gradually slowed down, driving into a dark tunnel little by little.ScreechThe roller coaster door opened automatically, and the safety devices buckled on everyone's shoulders also automatically rose.A green-haired clown poked its head out from the operating room and said to the anchors on the roller coaster:This roller coaster is over. Everyone can go back the same way, if you want to play again, you can queue up again!Bah! Who the hell wants to play again?!After confirming that everything was normal and that the exit of the tunnel not far away was indeed the exit, the anchors breathed a sigh of relief. Their legs were trembling, and they walked out slowly, dragging their numb and weak bodies.The dark tunnel was left behind, and they stepped into the light again, which made them feel like they entered a different world.Finally came outWen Jianyan's voice was trembling, and his legs were weak. If Yun Bilanyan hadn't held him up quickly, he might have fallen to the ground.With a pale face, he dragged his two sore legs, forced himself to run to the side, and then vomited in a daze.Wen Ya turned her head and glanced at the entrance with lingering fear.The clown who sold the tickets before was gone, and the sign Closed Business was placed on the table. Obviously, after they cleared customs, this roller coaster project would no longer be open to other anchors.At this moment, Lilith's hoarse voice came from the side:Water Is there any water?Wen Ya was startled and turned to look at her teammates beside her.Only to see the other party scratching her fair face with his beautiful and slender nails, strange skin flakes falling down one after another, her lips dry and cracked, trembling slightly. Her eyes were also trembling as if she couldn't focus, and there was a strange sense of discomfort in her eyes:I'm so thirsty.Crack.She scratched her cheek, red spots oozing from her fair skin.Is there any water?Lilith swallowed with difficulty, stuck out her tongue, and licked the corner of her chapped mouth:I'm so thirsty.
