Ch131 - Cute and Charming Villains

 

After the announcement of the last hour’s safe house, the trainees rushed towards the center where the carousel was from different locations of the park without stopping.

This was not as simple as it sounded. Especially since the system suddenly made the move to cancel the hunting range of all Halloween ghosts. 

Just great, all the ghosts in the amusement park boiled with energy. The chainsaw maniac tossed the head in his hand, whirled up the huge chainsaw, and rushed forward. In a house, Little Red Riding Hood, who threw a fresh corpse into the cellar, locked the door, stuffed a handful of poisonous strawberries into the basket, and skipped out the door. Not to mention other blood lusting evil spirits such as spider ghosts and scarecrows, all geared up along the way.

After a full nine hours of escaping, the trainees were all exhausted.

 

 

They changed safe houses, dodged ghosts, and struggled to find the right path in a Halloween costumed amusement park nonstop.

If there was a problem in any of these actions, they might just greet ghosts face to face. There were not many cases of coincidentally bumping into a good ghost like Xu Su. Most people either become dead ghosts under Little Red Riding Hood’s sweet smile or had their heads cut off by a chainsaw. 

In such a situation of extreme physical and psychological tension, everyone was suddenly told that it was finally the last hour, so hope bloomed in everyone’s hearts.

 

Only 2,000 of the over 5,000 people entered the amusement park, and by the last hour, only half of them remained. This survival rate was comparable to that of the collective instance. In fact, A-rank and above accounted for 200 of the thousand people. If the temptation of the A-rank blind box wasn’t so great, there likely wouldn’t be so many trainees who would’ve come to take the risk one after another.

No matter how tired they were, they had to go to the next destination.

Among them, many low-rank trainees were eager to try after hearing the special clearance mission.

 

Originally, they all thought that this task would be related to the Ghost King, they didn’t expect it to sound so simple.

Of course, there were clear-headed trainees who dissuade these whimsical colleagues who wanted to take the risk of competing on the same stage with the high ranks.

In this regard, the barrage could see things more clearly.

 

[The system has always been like this, the simpler it sounds, the more difficult it is to do] 

[Indeed, these low-rank newcomers are still too naive. If it’s simple for them, then for those A and S-rank bigwigs, wouldn’t it just be moving a finger’s effort? Without competitiveness, there’s no need to go to go for this special task. There are also A-rank blind boxes for ordinary customs clearance.]

[Indeed, the prizes this time are A-rank blind boxes, and many A-ranks can’t sit still. Now that the Thriller Trainee competition is halfway through, the next rounds aren’t just about competing with each other for the 100 places. In case there’s another low-rank A-rank item that can directly upgrade someone to A-rank like Xu Sen, it will damage the benefits of the high-rank trainees]

[Alas, there is no need to rain on their parade, it’s all their own choices, either perish or blow up, isn’t this the way of things?]

Zong Jiu stood there, looking up into the distance. 

Van Zhuo also frowned.

 

They all plan to challenge the special clearance mission the system spoke of.

“Other things will be discussed when we return to the trainee dormitory.”

The white-haired youth nodded at him and the two of them parted ways after reaching an agreement shortly. 

Indeed, now was neither the time nor place for too much negotiation. In addition, No. 2 was not just an individual. As a leader, there were Night Clan members behind him. It was natural that he couldn’t win the trust of the other with a few words.

“Alright.”

 

Van Zhuo nodded and watched him leave.

Zong Jiu didn’t go anywhere, he took the lead and went around with his skateboard, his eyes darkening slightly. 

Others didn’t matter, but since he made a bet with No. 1, he would never allow himself to be in a losing position.

It was just that this customs clearance mission was full of dubious points from the moment it was issued.

The task requirement was to stand at the highest position in the entire park before the park closed. Although it sounded simple, the difficulty of implementation was worth scrutinizing.

The highest place in the central castle was naturally the minaret on the side.

The minaret was very tall with a spiral staircase that went around it inside all the way to the top. A hole was cut in the wall at the top of the tower, and only the vague light at the top of the tower could be seen from a distance. 

Many trainees had already run into the castle and rushed all the way to the minaret.

What they didn’t know, however, was that there were evil spirits waiting for a feast in the castle.

“No, it can’t be the castle. There’s something higher than the minaret in this amusement park.”

Some trainees ran to the tower in the water park. 

There was a sea temple in the water park area. The statue of the Sea God was built on the top of the sea temple, and the tower at the side was where the water slide was connected.

Unfortunately, there were two areas between the water park and the central castle and it was impossible to compare which is taller with the naked eye. The same reasoning also encompassed the cliff bungee jumping platform by the sea. You could stand at the top by taking the elevator up, but you couldn’t compare the height. The trainees who went to these three places had to take a gamble.

Of course, in addition to these places, there were also trainees who had a flash of inspiration.

 

“Wait, the system only said that it was the highest point, but it didn’t say where the highest point was.” 

Survivors who were watching were suddenly enlightened.

[Right, the system didn’t say what the highest point was!]

 

[Fuck, I knew that this special customs clearance mission would not be so simple, the system was happily eyeballing this hidden move, waiting for people]

Immediately someone thought of the drop tower and the Ferris wheel. 

The Ferris wheel was right next to the castle. When the carriage of the Ferris wheel rotates to the highest point, the height of the carriage was just a bit higher than the castle spire.

The drop tower was in Area 3, and it was also some distance away from Area 1, but people who were more detail-oriented had seen the slogan of the drop tower in the rulebook issued by the system.

“…At the top of the drop tower, the highest place in the whole Rainbow Amusement Park, you can see the scenery of the entire park at a glance.”

Like Lin Guoxing. It happened that he remembered this sentence, so he hurriedly rushed to the drop tower with the people in his team. 

But the problem came again.

While it was true that the drop tower and Ferris wheel were a bit taller than tall buildings like the castle and the water slide, ultimately, they weren’t fixed.

The Ferris wheel, even if the top carriage was taller than the castle, who could guarantee that they would be sitting in the top carriage of the Ferris wheel when the amusement park activities closed?

It took nearly an hour for the Ferris wheel to make a full circle. At this moment, many trainees rush to the Ferris wheel to line up and there were many ghosts behind them. A trainee did not dodge fast enough and was even sitting in the Ferris wheel carriage when a ghost cut off his head and blood splattered all over. 

There were no more hunting range limitations, and ghosts became unguardable to humans. Now, as long as they weren’t taking refuge in the safe house, the carousel, they could be killed at any moment by ghosts in the amusement park.

Meanwhile, the same was true for the drop tower.

Lin Guoxing absolutely dared to pat his chest and claim that the drop tower was definitely higher than the carriage at the highest point of the Ferris wheel, otherwise the system would not deliberately mention this in the game rulebook.

Then came the problem. 

How could they stay at the top of the Ferris wheel and the drop tower?

When Lin Guoxing rushed to the drop tower, he figured it out.

Because at the top of the drop tower, there was an extra figure.

The merciful blond Holy Son stood at the top of the drop tower, the cold wind lifted the hem of his white-gold robe, making a flapping sound. 

He wasn’t sitting on a seat in the drop tower but stood at the top of the vertical pole at the center of the drop tower, which only had an area of a few square meters. It was likely that when the drop tower reached the highest point, he took advantage of the short pause of a few seconds, undid the seat belt, and went to the highest point. Just thinking about it makes the scalp tingle.

“Let’s go, Lin-xiong, how did we all forget that there is a trainee with special flying props in the temple.”

 

Behind Lin Guoxing, another trainee smacked his thigh, showing a look of regret.

Although the Holy Son was a good person, he was also an S-rank and the leader of an organization. He was not limitlessly generous. 

If someone was in trouble, he would help. But if the Holy Temple was already occupying the high point of the drop tower, it will be seeking death to try to snatch it. Even a saint would have a temper.

The Holy Son’s fighting ability was indeed not strong, but he had won over a group of powerful and loyal subordinates.

When Lin Guoxing saw that figure from a distance, he knew that he was out of the game.

He sighed heavily where he stood and then said, “Let’s go, brothers, head back.” 

Lin Guoxing encountered such a situation on his side, and the Ferris wheel on the other side was even more exciting.

Because the Ferris wheel didn’t have a section in the center like the drop tower, but it was the highest position of the entire Ferris wheel when a carriage reached the highest point.

This time, as the barrage said, it looked simple, but in fact, ordinary trainees had long been shut out.

Veteran trainees showed their powers on the Ferris wheel. 

Many trainees sat in the carriages of the Ferris wheel, but those who climbed from the carriages to the top of the carriages were all veteran trainees.

Standing on top was naturally higher than sitting inside.

These veteran trainees stood at the top of the carriages, just staying at a high point of the Ferris wheel a little distance from the top. And when the next carriage rose up, they jumped over from the previous of the carriage. This way, they maintained their standing at the highest point forever without falling.

It was worth mentioning that there are also two S-classes on the Ferris wheel. 

That was Black-robed Azan and the Exorcist.

After the Exorcist learned that Black-robed Azan was under control, he was deeply saddened by what happened to his long-time old friend. The uncle, who was very opinionated, ignored Zhuge An’s dissuasion and had to fight him.

So the two of them started a decisive battle at the top of the Ferris wheel.

The carriages they stepped on swayed in the air, evoked ghosts and holy water battled midair. The scene was extremely intense. 

This was just great, two S-rank immortals fought, and thus the ones who suffered were the ordinary trainees.

All the trainees who wanted to try the Ferris wheel didn’t dare to go up and ran to the carousel.

 

However, Zong Jiu didn’t go to any of the above locations.

The white-haired young man stepped on his skateboard and headed for the seaside port that was on the opposite end of Area 1. 

 

Of course, the system wouldn’t not consider that there might be trainees trying to use the hot air balloon to float in the air to avoid the pursuit of ghosts.

So it announced in advance that the hunting range of many ghosts was only limited by flat ground and didn’t include height. This meant that even if someone drove a hot air balloon into the sky and floated past the hunting range of a ghost, the ghost could ignore the physical distance and go straight to the sky and hack people down.

Also, the scope of activity in the hot air balloon was only the size of the basket and there was nowhere to hide in the air. If a ghost decided to chase, it would be a dead end. No trainee was stupid enough to drive a hot air balloon under this premise.

But now it was different. 

Now that the system required them to stand at the highest point, what could be higher than a hot air balloon?

Many people thought of this, so while Zong Jiu rushed to the dock, many other teams also advanced that way together. There were also some trainees who left the dock with regretful expressions on their faces.

By the time Zong Jiu rushed to the port, Zhuge An was already standing at the lighthouse.

The black-haired man looked solemn and shook his head at him, “All the hot air balloons have already taken off. 

“Just half an hour ago, before the special clearance mission was released, these hot air balloons went up into the sky.” He pointed to the distant sky.

There were several hot air balloons floating in the air, but the strange thing was that each hot air balloon was empty.

No, it couldn’t be said to be empty.

In the air, Dark Warlock No. 8 was pouring out black mist from his hands, using the power of black magic to lift himself up. He flew up and towards one of the hot air balloons. 

This move was performed publicly by the Dark Warlock as early as the first round at the big turntable. Now, although everyone was surprised, they only sighed that this task was really prepared for S-ranks.

This damned guy, so he was waiting here.

Zong Jiu gritted his teeth, his fists cracking.

If someone said that No. 1 didn’t guess it, he wouldn’t believe it. How else did all these hot air balloons fly to the sky so coincidentally? 

Although the possibility of other people taking the hot air balloon was eliminated, in the end, it also equally cut off everyone’s way.

Just when Zong Jiu wanted to turn his head and ask the dog-headed military strategist what he could do, a cheerful and noisy shout suddenly came from behind him.

 

There was a hint of helplessness in Zhuge An’s cold eyes and he pointed his chin behind him, signaling Zong Jiu to turn his head to look.

“To protect the world from being destroyed! To save the peace of the world!” 

With oil paint on their faces, the happy crazy duo who wore a rainbow of colors as their aesthetic stood behind Zong Jiu.

One of them took off their top hat, the other took off their wig, and bowed to the Magician with exaggerated yet genuine smiles on their faces.

“Dear Mr. Magician, happy to serve you!”
