The sunlight was refracted by the water vapor in the thick fog.

Based on the light in the sky, it should still be before noon.

The Ferris Wheel rotated slowly, and a large shadow briefly pa.s.sed over the window. It was from the V-shaped frame as the pa.s.senger car pa.s.sed through the base of the Ferris Wheel.

When he looked around again, dozens of cars hung off the outer edge of the Ferris Wheel. They were in a mottled a.s.sortment of colors and s.h.i.+fted with the wind. The walls of the pa.s.senger cars were painted with recreations of Western European oil paintings from the 15th century.

Each car was unique.

Wu Jin thought out loud, The painting for each car is different. Considering this from the perspective of cost for the Crosson Show, the only reason they would make it like this would be so that players could easily identify the cars again.

The youth then rummaged around in the compartment. There were four seats, and it was a small, square s.p.a.ce. There were gla.s.s doors and windows on both sides, and seating for the tourists on the other two sides. Nothing was unusual about it.

As for cameras

Wu Jin repeatedly confirmed that there was no built-in camera in the compartment. Outside the window, there were occasional cameras flying past like bamboo dragonflies.

As the Ferris Wheel rotated clockwise, the two of them rose up higher and higher, and the shadow from the base of the structure was soon left behind.

Wu Jin quickly pressed up against the window.

At this time, the fog was thick, and their vision was limited if they attempted to look further into the distance. He had to try and see the layout of the map around the Ferris Wheel before the pa.s.senger car fell into another blind spot.

Additionally, he had to find the other players who had disappeared, Jingyi included.

The Celtic b.u.mper cars, the Stonehenge maze, the Greek mythology carousel Wu Jin narrowed his eyes and tried to identify everything. Before his sight was covered up by the fog again, gunfire suddenly rang out from the distance!

All of the contestants on the Ferris Wheel were shocked at the same time, and they all looked towards the source of the gunfire.

Wu Jins breathing stuttered, The Stonehenge labyrinth. Someone is in the Stonehenge labyrinth!

There were more than two people in the maze.

That meant that at least two teams of players were in the Stonehenge maze. Wu Jin almost instantly locked in on it, Its Jingyi. Theyre not afraid to expose their position, and the only ones who would dare to shoot in the first hour of the game is Jingyi! Why are they at Stonehenge? Isnt it clear that the Ferris Wheel is the target project? Or is the maze one of the task items, or can it provide clues

Wu Jin chattered on for a long time, then suddenly realized.

The big boss was too quiet.

It wasnt only because the two of them had discussed the matter of publicizing their relations.h.i.+p after winning the League champions.h.i.+p. The pa.s.senger car had already risen up 20 meters, but the big boss had never said a single word, not even engaging in the most basic communication between teammates.

Wu Jins eyes opened wide, and he looked back to see the big boss holding a gun and sitting on the tourist seating.

Wei s.h.i.+ spoke coldly, Continue.

Wu Jin leaned in with a swish.

Wu Jin had practiced dancing for many years. His familiarity with muscles and body language was no less than that of the survival show contestants, and his perception and ability to read body language might even be better than theirs.

Wei s.h.i.+s shoulders were quite tense.

The man frowned and closed his eyes.

The wind was whistling outside the window of the Ferris Wheel. It was like a switch had suddenly been turned on.

Brother Wei, your aftereffectsk2026; dont stimulate yourself in the game! The subconscious is uncontrollablek2026;

His memories stirred sluggishly.

The blurred R-Code Base suddenly appeared in his field of vision, and it felt as though he was still lying in the treatment cabin due to Shao Yus schemes.

Wu Jin, a little shortie who was only a little over ten years old, rubbed against him enthusiastically, saying:

Wei s.h.i.+! Do you want to go outside!

Theres an amus.e.m.e.nt park with a roller coaster and a Ferris Wheel the air gun in the amus.e.m.e.nt park, if you hit a lot of balloons, you can trade them for plush toys.

This big, a rabbit thisssss big!

Wei s.h.i.+ forcibly pushed away the Ferris Wheel from his memory.

His consciousness returned back to the Crosson arena.

He then tossed the shotgun to Wu Jin.

Inside the Ferris Wheel pa.s.senger car, Wu Jin quickly caught the carrot gun that the big boss had thrown over and looked nervous, Are you okay? Is your body uncomfortable, or are you afraid of heights

Wei s.h.i.+ gestured for Wu Jin to come over.

Wu Jins head turned left and right, and after confirming that there were no cameras checking in on them, he dashed over, as tense as if they were having a hidden romance. Then, Wu Jin was abruptly pressed into Wei s.h.i.+s arms.

Wei s.h.i.+ took a deep inhale of the rabbit scent.

With one touch, Wei s.h.i.+ once again returned to normal. Wu Jins soothing function as a scabbard was real, and as long as there was no secondary stimulation, it wouldnt affect the game as long as he could inhale some rabbit scent in every few breaths.

Wu Jin also let out a long breath, You shouldve said it earlier! Didnt he just want a hug! It wasnt a big deal!

In the car closest to the two people.

Thin Fire and Wei Yan sat across from each other. At this time, they were each carefully observing the other partys movements. Thin Fire was suddenly taken by surprise when he saw Wei Yans expression stiffen.

!!! Thin Fire reached for his gun out of conditioned reflex. According to the two peoples task a.s.signments, Wei Yan was responsible for tracking the Scarf CP, while he would stare at the Double Fools. Wei Yans change meant that the Scarf CP had

Wei Yan opened his mouth and spoke woodenly, Its nothing.

Seeing that Thin Fire was about to turn back, Wei Yan quickly stopped him, Wait!

Thin Fires eyes were bright, his warlike spirit was majestic, and he was ready to go!

Behind Thin Fire, in the Ferris Wheel pa.s.senger car ahead of them, Wei s.h.i.+ finally stopped inhaling Wu Jin.

Wei Yan made an en sound and indicated that Thin Fire could turn around.

Thin Fire: ?? What?

By this time, the Ferris Wheel had risen about 40 meters above the ground. The fog was thick, and at best, the players in the car could only see the pa.s.senger cars beside them.

In the nearest car below Wei-Thin.

Caesar, who was in charge of keeping an eye on Wei-Thin, suddenly stood up and picked up his gun. His tigers eyes glared, Brother, get ready! That coquettish man just picked up his gun. That icy faced Wei Yan must have given him some instructions

Red was enthusiastic: Kill kill kill killl yeahhhh

Two bullets were released towards Thin Fire at the same time! In the pa.s.senger car above them, Thin Fires expression changed greatly even before he set down the gun, Are they crazy! These two idiots arent doing the task?? The Ferris Wheel hasnt finished rotating, and theyre already starting to fight!! Are their brains f*cking full of nothing but muscles

Further beneath them, Qin Jinbao immediately followed suit and also fired his gun, causing Red and Caesar to be attacked from both sides. Below them, the two people from Azure Peoples Entertainment were also discussing it.

Theyre all fighting, should we fight too?

Fight!

A scuffle broke out on the Ferris Wheel.

At the start of this domino effect, Wu Jin was in a daze, No way, the Ferris Wheel hasnt finished a full rotation yet. The contestants have no reason to start shooting at this time.

All of a sudden, a stray bullet that had been shot askew flew straight at Wu Jin!

Wei s.h.i.+s eyes suddenly changed.

If Researcher Song could detect the amplitude of Wei s.h.i.+s brain waves at this time, he would definitely discover that Wei s.h.i.+ was still in the process of resisting the last round of subconscious stimulation.

The Ferris Wheel and R-Code Base in his mind hadnt yet disappeared, and a second round of stimulation had already appeared.

He pulled the little shortie with him and ran frantically out of the R-Code Base.

The sky was stained by the fire, and the mountains covered by black smoke. Before a stray bullet could hit him, Wu Jin had suddenly jumped out to block the bullet for him, and his waist was penetrated by the bullet. He screamed in despair amidst the flames, and the little shortie stood on tiptoes, kissing him with the last of his strength, Dont worry about this waist. Im the knight who came here to pick you up

Inside the Crosson arena, Wei s.h.i.+ suddenly closed his eyes.

Wu Jin had also been shocked by the stray bullet that swept up from below. Hed only come out of the treatment cabin a few days ago, and his mind was full of the 21st century idol talent show. His excellent dance skills kicked in before his tactical maneuver instincts, and he used a footwalk to avoid the bullet before performing a freeze in front of the window. Then, a second bullet flew by

Wu Jins logical left brain came up with dozens of fighting maneuvers to avoid the bullet, while his right brain that was in charge of creativity came up with dozens of breakdance moves to avoid the bullet.

While his left and right brains were struggling, a warmth suddenly pasted itself up against his back.

Wei s.h.i.+ forcefully pressed Wu Jin into his arms, then s.h.i.+fted to the side to bring him to a safe area.

The mans back was broad and hot, providing Wu Jin with airtight protection.

Wu Jin was stunned.

The big boss had always taken a hands off approach to training, just like how he trained the black cat. It had always been Wu Jin fighting and dealing with what he could, while the big boss only came out when he couldnt hold up any longer. The bullet that had come up from below was crooked, and the difficulty involved in avoiding it was definitely below F-level

Wu Jin seemed to sense something and raised his head.

Wei s.h.i.+s brows were slightly wrinkled, as though suppressing something in his mind.

Wu Jin had spent nearly a month in Floating City and could identify the big bosss situation at a glance. His small round face suddenly grew serious, Is it an emotional lock attack? Ill open up the life-saving capsule for you and contact Professor Song

Wei s.h.i.+ gritted his teeth, Its nothing, it has nothing to do with the emotional lock.

The gunfight continued.

The pa.s.senger car where the two people were located was now close to the top of the Ferris Wheel. At this time, the cameras outside the window swarmed over to shoot Wei Yan, Caesar, and Dolma Entertainment. It was obvious that even the instructors and cameras were completely confused by the scene. n.o.body had expected that there would be a fight while the Ferris Wheel cars were still ascending.

Inside the Crosson Show live broadcast room, Instructor Blood Pigeon tried hard to smooth out the situation, Well, our contestants Caesar and Mao Qiukui are both very lively, and theyve kicked off the battle on the Ferris Wheel

At the top of the Ferris Wheel, the sun penetrated through the artificial fog, surrounding the two people with a layer of illusory, unreal light.

Wei s.h.i.+ suddenly lifted up his left wrist with the monitoring watch.

After removing a small chip the size of a sesame grain, the man ordered Wu Jin to reach out. The chip was slotted into a groove in Wu Jins wrist watch.

Wu Jin breathed out in amazement. The big boss had actually hacked the program group watch!

Wei s.h.i.+: Camera lens detection chip. It will vibrate within a 10 meter focus range.

Wu Jin suddenly understood. The big boss had once been known as Crossons mystery man because hed successfully evaded all the cameras despite partic.i.p.ating in three entire elimination rounds. The audience had all agreed that it was because he hadnt paid out enough in management fees that his portrait had never been submitted to the program producers hands.

Wei s.h.i.+ continued to command, Look for Mao Qiukui if you cant win a fight.

Wu Jin: Ah?

Wei s.h.i.+ thought about it, Wei Yan too.

Wu Jin: !!! This wasnt right, why did it seem that the big boss was doing a handover

The two of them finally neared the top of the Ferris Wheel.

Beneath the sunlight that had been softened countless times by the mist, Wei s.h.i.+ looked down at Wu Jin. The mans eyes were so deep they were bottomless and carried a cold light. The atmosphere was turbulent and heavy, and it was as though he was looking at Wu Jin one last time before disappearing.

This made Wu Jin, who had originally planned to grab the big boss and plant a kiss on him at the highest point of the Ferris Wheel, completely dumbfounded.

Everything was strange and abnormal.

Wei s.h.i.+ spoke slowly, Two months ago, in Floating City.

Wu Jin immediately stood up attentively. His extroversion E kicked in, and he subconsciously made an obedient and well behaved expression, like he was about to be interrogated.

Wei s.h.i.+: Something went wrong during the fourth course of treatment. You entered the treatment cabin to get me out.

Wu Jin was modest and humble, It was just a lift of the finger! No big deal!

Wei s.h.i.+: Before you withdrew from the subconscious, you were shot through the left side of your waist and abdomen.

Wu Jin touched his waist, Its still there! Still there!

Wei s.h.i.+ grunted in acknowledgement.

Well then, you can explain it to him.

xiin: *whistles* no, its not a cliffhanger, not at all~
