The artist mascot wanted to get angry, but when he saw the painting in front of him, he became quiet.
The blond that came out of nowhere was indeed superior to him in his mastery of portrait painting. Not to mention his mature skills, even the use of colors was bolder. Every stroke had benefited the artist a lot. Unconsciously, he focused on watching, and could no longer bear to look away.
Despite being a ghost who had been dead for many years, his good temper meant that it wasn’t like he would not be able to accept someone was better than him. But he didn’t lightly permit anyone from doing anything to his own handiwork. If the other hadn’t displayed his extraordinary qualities, the artist would probably have gone crazy on the spot.
After finishing the painting, Messiah threw the brush away and said with some gloom, “No, it’s still far from it.”
AD
He turned his head and directly left, leaving the artist who still wanted to go up and ask for advice a little dazed.
Forget it, who wasn’t somewhat eccentric on the road of art? The higher their skills, the more strange they were.
The artist shook his head regretfully and returned to his seat to continue admiring the painting.
Looking at it, he seemed to understand the meaning of the other party’s sentence of “it’s still far”.
Because no matter how many colors or how dazzling and complicated the techniques used, it was impossible to display that person’s appeal even by one one-millionth.
The audience in the live stream room was also a little taken aback by this scene, but looking at Messiah who wore a holy smile and elegantly bowed his head, they couldn’t figure out what was off.
Unfortunately, even if they did find out what was wrong, because the system strictly prohibited communication between the audience of the livestream and the thriller trainees, it wasn’t like they could warn them. So they could only give up.
…
In the days leading up to the Halloween event, all the trainees were very busy.
AD
The high-ranked trainees were busy visiting every spot, busy testing the mascots for abnormalities, and busy running around to determine the location of the amusement facilities in various areas. Low-ranked trainees were busy collecting experience cards for various amusement facilities and riding various rides everywhere in order to exchange for the C-rank blind boxes.
Zong Jiu was also busy.
There were a total of eleven teams and each team was responsible for one area. They needed to be cycled back after they handed over the map of their area to Zong Jiu, who then went to the hot air balloon to compare in detail bit by bit.
Ultimately, Zong Jiu couldn’t do this all day long in the hot air balloon. He had to get in touch with the good ghosts to see which ghosts could help in the Halloween Massacre Escape.
For example, the clown with “come and play with me” written all over his face, and the happy Mad Hatter dancing on the street.
Although he promised to go and play with the clown, because there were too many things in the past two days, Zong Jiu happily let the other party’s pigeons go, and didn’t wander back to Area 1 until today.
When Zong Jiu approached, the clown was squatting on the ground, counting mushrooms without blinking, muttering to himself.
“Why hasn’t he come to play with me yet~ Did he forget me~ There are so many fun mascots in the playground~
“Humans are really all just talk~ Sure enough, let’s kill them~”
Zong Jiu, “…”
Lf qgfafcvfv cba ab tfjg atfrf kbgvr jcv qjaafv atf mibkc bc atf rtbeivfg, “Ll!”

“You came to play with me!”
“Yes.”
The white-haired young man smiled with his eyes and began to dig for information without any flaws, “You only sell balloons in one place every day, won’t you be bored?”
“No~ As long as you come to play with me, I won’t feel lonely~”
Maybe he was simply happy, so happy that the clown couldn’t control his feet from dancing and bobbed his head in place.
With the large bunch of balloons in his hand, Zong Jiu really suspected that if the clown was a little weaker or lighter, he might have been pulled into the air by the huge collection of balloons.
This time, he asked for a crying balloon before leaving under the watchful eyes of the clown.
Seeing the clown so bored, Zong Jiu decided to be a living Lei Feng and find him a companion.
The number one choice was of course the Mad Hatter with the same attributes as him.
The Mad Hatter had been bouncing up and down the streets of Area 3, singing an aria that no one could understand.
Pedestrians detoured around when they saw him because the amount of paint on this guy’s face was enough to compete with the clown, not to mention the streak of blood on his clothing. The Mad Hatter actually told everyone that it was Alice who spilled tomato juice on him in a banquet he participated in.
Other people looked at the bloodstains that had turned black: Um, sure, just treat us as idiots, we can just take the long way around.
No one else could understand what the Mad Hatter was singing, but Zong Jiu could translate every line of his singing without any trouble.
“Oh, my little white bird, why do you look so sad, is my love not enough to burn you?”
Obviously, the Mad Hatter had a lot of research on drama. For example, this sentence directly borrowed the tones from Romeo and Juliet, and then added his own adapted words just so.
“This is Area 1’s clown’s balloon.” Zong Jiu replied calmly.
“Oh! Clown! What an abominable name, it makes my heart skip a beat!” The Mad Hatter exclaimed in surprise, “I’ve heard this terrifying name before, my dear little white bird, can you tell me if he really likes to wring his head off and kick it as a ball?”
“He is right next to the factory in Area 1. You can ask him this question in person.”
Zong Jiu blinked, “I have a hunch that you will have a lot of common ground.”
More than common ground, two crazy people getting together could only mean hazardous things for the world.
“Oh, okay okay.”
The Mad Hatter pondered for a moment, his pointed shoes tapping.
Maybe he also thought it was too boring to sing alone here. After dancing a few half-beat unknown dances, he resolutely decided to listen to Little White Bird’s advice and went to Area 1 to find the clown.
Zong Jiu watched his back, calmly accepted the admiration of trainees from all directions, and hid his merits.
……
Twenty days passed thus.
Soon, the exciting and anticipated Halloween Massacre Escape event was to be ushered in at nine o’clock that day.
Everyone from Class 9 Squad gathered in the quiet room of the rooftop bar with serious expressions.
In front of them was a cartographed map of the Rainbow Amusement Park.
This map was very large with various amusement facilities and buildings in each area marked in small print, and each person also held a drawn and printed version in hand.
Zong Jiu pointed to the eleven areas in the amusement park.
“There are many repeat amusement facilities in the areas, such as haunted houses and roller coasters. The Rainbow amusement Park is so big, the system should not assign a safe house only at a specific facility in a specific district at first. It is very likely that different areas are assigned similarly. For example, if only the haunted house is pointed out as a safe house, as long as it is a haunted house, it can temporarily act as a safe house.”
Everyone nodded while listening.
“There are ten hours at night, which means we’re going to go through ten safe house changes.”
The Magician took out a card at random and pointed to different colored areas on the map. “When we go in, we will first act as one group. Even if we become separated, we can go to the next safe house location in small groups.
“Finally, and most importantly, there may be a limit on the number of people in the safe house.”
All the trainees’ expressions became serious.
Everyone knew what it meant to have a limit on the number of people in a safe house.
If a drop tower ride was designated as a safe house, it could only carry ten people.
If a hot air balloon by the sea is designated as a safe house, it could accommodate even fewer people.
At this point, the system has relaxed the conditions for them.
It promised that each round’s safe house would be able to hold more people than the number of trainees participating in the event.
Therefore, in order to deal with this situation, it was definitely not feasible for the entire Class 9 Squad to stay together in a group. They had to be divided into smaller groups.
Zong Jiu closed the map and encouraged everyone, “That’s all I have to say, let’s go ahead, I hope to see a full 110 people when the park closes.”
“Yes.”
The sound of everyone’s answer almost lifted the ceiling.
Everyone walked towards the gate of the amusement park in groups.
Halloween was here and the amusement park gained a whole new look.
All the lanterns hanging in the air were replaced by jack-o-lanterns and the roadsides were splashed with paint, creating a sense of horror. Plus, there were skeletons hanging on the eaves, scarecrows decorated with cloth strips, giant coffins lying on the corners, and most importantly, hundreds of real ghosts.
Dark yellow and pale white, purple and scarlet, the atmosphere was bursting.
The trainees who came to the amusement park at this time were all prepared for Halloween activities.
Among the over 5,000 trainees, there were still not many people who dared to participate in this dangerous activity. Not a single one of the high-rank trainees were left behind but many low-rank trainees had retreated. So those who came to participate numbered less than 2,000, less than half.
Everyone had a special map in their hands, and there were clear organized lines between them.
Zong Jiu glaced at Zhuge An from a distance and then looked away calmly to sweep over the other S-ranks instead.
Twenty days was enough for Zong Jiu to do a round of tests on these S-ranks.
And the result was, damn, ignorance was bliss and knowledge was quite scary. Except for the few S-ranks that Zhuge An had recruited in advance, the others were almost wiped out. Even his old brother, Van Zhuo, was among them. This was something Zong Jiu never expected.
He picked out a few cards with the inverted Devil and planned to take advantage of the Halloween event to save them one by one.
Zhuge An gave a rare frown at this, “We haven’t fully understood where his ability lies, so be cautious.”
Zong Jiu sighed, “What a pity.”
The Devil hadn’t appeared in front of him for two days, instead opting to dangle a few puppets around him full of meaning.
No.1’s room card was in Zong Jiu’s hands, so if he agreed to cooperate, he could come to him at any time.
Originally, Zong Jiu also wanted to act it out, but unfortunately the situation had changed. Once he made a move, it had to be the best response to the situation.
Of course, Zong Jiu regretted that he couldn’t play a game of backstabbing a fake cooperation.
Time ticked by.
Finally, when it was almost nine o’clock, the mechanical system voice sounded.
