Chapter 85.2: Falling into the Abyss-themed roller coaster
Wen Jianyan turned his head and shouted in the loudest voice: Hurry up and check! How many corpses are there among all the puppets around here?!
I have one here!
This one is also a corpse!
The one next to me is a real puppet!
The wind pressure increased little by little, and the downhill curve was approaching.
Wen Jianyan's eyes were fixed on the top of the track in the distance, and all his attention was focused on the voice of everyone behind him. While listening, he quickly calculated in his mind
There were seven of them in total.
Among the ten puppets, five were the corpses of the previous challengers.
In other words, he guessed right. The reason why they entered the theme of Falling into the Abyss this time instead of the roller coaster with the theme of Through the Jungle was because of the number of people.
Obviously, due to the presence of more passengers on the roller coaster, their number was determined to be a multiple of 6 or 6 by the instance.
But the question was
Were the five corpses judged to be the passengers, or were the five puppets judged to be the passengers?
Other anchors quickly realized this as well.
According to logic, the bodies of previous challengers were no longer considered living things; that is to say, the other five puppets were the culprits for their current situation.
But
The fifth rule of the roller coaster: do not damage the decorations on the roller coaster, especially the humanoid wooden decorations.
Throwing a puppet off a roller coaster, it was impossible for it not to be counted as vandalism.
Damn it.
Wen Ya turned her head to look at the smiling puppet not far away from her and finally realized the insidiousness of this project. She couldn't help but curse secretly.
The designer of this project was really too disgusting.
Damage to the puppet was not allowed, but the number of people couldn't be kept at 12. This meant that one person must sacrifice themselves and either jump off the roller coaster or push a puppet off Judging from the consequences of breaking the rules shown in this project, pushing the puppet down was probably the same as jumping off the roller coaster for a person.
At this moment, there was a soft click sound from the front, like the sound of a bumper being opened and lifted.
Several anchors sitting in the back row raised their eyes in astonishment and looked in the direction of the voice.
In the next second, Wen Jianyan left his seat, grabbed the dead body on the seat in front of him with one hand, and moved down along the angle of the roller coaster
What are you doing?
Wen Ya, who was closest to him, widened her eyes in shock and asked.
Wen Jianyan grinned at her: Destroying the puppet.
What?
Wen Ya couldn't react.
Could it be that this guy is going to sacrifice himself and throw the puppet off the roller coaster?
How can it be?
The roller coaster climbed slowly. Seeing that the sudden inflection point was approaching and the body of the roller coaster was already approaching vertical, people had a feeling of almost suffocation.
The young man dragged himself onto one of the seats with difficulty, holding the corpse tightly in his arms. His body was half-hanging dangerously in the air, looking precarious.
His slender arms were tense, veins bursting from overstretched muscles.
All the anchors focused their eyes on him, subconsciously holding their breath, and their heartstrings tightened.
Wen Jianyan took a deep breath, lowered his head, and glanced at the lowest position. He then gathered all his strength and dragged the corpse to the back of the chair beside him.
He seemed to have used some prop.
The corpse dressed as a puppet was firmly attached to the back of one of the chairs.
And below the corpse, directly opposite the chair, just across the aisle from Wen Ya, a smiling puppet was sitting on top of the chair.
Wen Ya took a breath.
She understood what this guy wanted to do!
This was a level C prop adhesive. Each anchor could only purchase it once. It could firmly stick any object to a certain surface. The time limit was 30 seconds. It was often used as a control prop on some kind of monster to fix them in place, making it impossible to continue hunting down the anchor.
She didn't expectthe other party would use it like this!
Now the roller coaster was climbing, and when it reached the top, it would fall vertically rapidly. At that time, the prop would fail, and the body that was originally glued to the back of the chair would hit the puppet at a very high speed!
The young man raised his amber eyes; his gaze was extremely focused. His eyes fixed on Wen Ya deeply, and he smiled at her.
In the howling wind, his voice was clear, even carrying a soft smile:
Remember to hold me later.
The next second, the roller coaster rose to the top.
After a brief, almost scalp-numbing pause, the entire roller coaster's body tilted suddenly and fell straight into the abyss!!
Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!
The fierce wind shredded the cry that broke through the throat subconsciously. The strong gravity crushed the human chest cavity, the rapid fall brought a strong sense of weightlessness, and the adrenaline soared in the body, abruptly pushing people to the borderline of death.
Under this sudden change of gravity, the young man's body suddenly hung upside down, and the whole person fell toward the abyss!
At that moment, Wen Ya felt her heart firmly lift into her throat. She almost had no time to think or recall; there was no thought in her blank mind, and all her actions were based on instinct!
A prop was activated.
A rope came out of nowhere, circled around the chair, and reached toward Wen Jianyan very purposefully.
Wen Ya's heart was beating wildly, and layers of cold sweat broke out on her body. Under the pressure of strong gravity, she poked her head out of the safety device with difficulty. Her ears were full of whistling wind and she looked toward the back of the chair under a pressure that could almost broke her neck bone
Wen Jianyan was hanging from the end of the rope, holding the end of the rope tightly with his slender palms, hanging on its end like a kite, precarious.
The strong wind messed up his hair, and he was like a soft flag fluttering violently.
The young man raised his head and looked in this direction. Across the chaos, distance, wind, screams, shaking, and dizziness, those amber eyes were extremely clear.
He smiled and moved his lips:
Thank you.
For no reason, Wen Ya felt as if her heart had been twisted viciously as if someone had punched her hard in the chest. She didn't know if it was because of being crushed by the wind, but she was a little out of breath for a while.
It was just a short moment of distraction, and the 30-second limit of the adhesive was over.
The prop lost its effect.
In the next second, the heavy corpse separated from the glued back of the chair, and under the acceleration of strong gravity, it slammed straight toward the puppet at the bottom!
Crack!
The puppet on the seat was hit hard by the violent impact; sawdust flew wildly, limbs were broken, and the whole thing scattered!
The scarlet blood and the fragments of internal organs immediately splashed, like an extremely cruel rain of blood!
No one broke the puppet.
The real murderer was the roller coaster falling at a fast speed. Its speed was too fast, causing the puppet to hit the corpse that was not fixed, and then both sides become pieces together.
Now, it didn't matter whether the corpse would be judged as a passenger or the puppet would be judged as a passenger.
The quantity was reduced by two.
The number of people would definitely not be a multiple of 6.
Aaaaahhhhhhhh
The speed of the roller coaster was still accelerating. The wheels rubbed against the track, sparks were flying, and everything was spinning and accelerating. A strong desire to vomit hit the mind of every anchor, and the screams were forced out from the depths of their throats almost uncontrollably.
However, the terrifying, boundless darkness around them was dissipating.
Through the screams, they could vaguely hear the melodious music playingLalalala! Welcome to the Through the Jungle-themed roller coaster! I am your captain, and I will lead you to start a new fantasy journey!
After an unknown amount of time, the speed of the roller coaster slowly slowed down.
Finally, the train stopped.
Screech
The roller coaster's doors opened automatically, and the safety devices buckled on everyone's shoulders were also automatically released, slowly going up.
All the anchors stumbled off the roller coaster:
puke!
The sounds of vomiting sounded one after another.
Coughcough cough cough
Wen Jianyan coughed and struggled to get up from the ground.
He felt pain all over his body. Although he was pulled by the rope when the roller coaster fell, he still inevitably hit the ground and chairs around him. Even though he consciously protected his important parts, his body was still bruised and purple from being hit.
His internal organs were overwhelmed.
The place where the rope was bound on the waist was even more painful, which made him grind his teeth. It should not be as simple as bruising; it was estimated that even the skin was worn out.
In his dizzy vision, he saw a pair of feet stop in front of him.
Hey.
A suppressed female voice sounded above his head.
Wen Jianyan raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice.
Only to see Wen Ya standing in front of him condescendingly, with no expression on her face, but with complex and indistinguishable emotions in her eyes: Are are you okay?
Wen Jianyan smiled, but it hurt his wound, and he grimaced with a wry smile:
Thank you; it's fine.
You
Wen Ya looked at him in confusion, blankly, almost in disbelief, and opened her mouth, but in the end, she only uttered a chaotic syllable.
She wanted to ask many things, but it was unknown why she didn't know where to start.
At this moment, a suppressed and shocked voice came from not far away:
Hey, come and see!
Ball, who was standing at the exit, raised his head, looked at the smooth wall in front of him, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said in a slightly trembling voice:
The exitis gone.
Wen Ya, who remained on the roller coaster, heard the noise not far away. She frowned, turned her head to look at the place where the commotion came from, and asked doubtfully, What happened? Shouldn't this project be over?
At this moment, the young man in front of her let out a hiss and pulled her back from her contemplation.
Wen Ya turned her head to look.
Only to see the other party half kneeling on the ground as if he wanted to stand up but failed. He raised his eyes a little shyly. His amber eyes below his long and soft eyelashes looked over. Pursing his lips, he seemed a little embarrassed and said in a low voice:
That can you give me a hand?
Wen Ya:
Her eyes flickered, her face was cold, and she stretched out her hand reluctantly, pulling the young man up on the ground. She said stiffly, If you are injured just sit down for a while.
I'll go and see the situation.
After finishing speaking, she turned around quickly, as if to run away, and fled off the roller coaster.
Wen Jianyan sat down on one of the chairs, narrowed his eyes lazily, stretched his numb wrists, and turned his head, glancing lightly at the place where he just fell.
The slender, spiderweb-like prop had reached the limit of its use and disappeared automatically.
Wen Jianyan looked away, and a smile flickered across his lips.
Naturally, it was impossible for him to pin his own life and death on whether others lent a helping hand.
As early as when he decided on his action strategy, he had already found a way out for himselfas his body started to fall, an invisible spider web spread out, enough to stick him.
However, that didn't mean he couldn't take advantage of his vulnerability.
The Savior Complex was deeply hidden in everyone's heart.
Everyone loves the feeling of being trusted unconditionally. When a person was willing to surrender their life unconditionally, the emotional bond created at that moment couldn't be replicated in any other situation.
The Eternal Day Guild would still be useful in the future.
In this instance, he needed teammates, not enemies.
After the worst impression had been left, no matter how hard one tried, it would be useless and even counterproductive. How to reverse the impression as quickly as possible and bring the relationship closer?
Wen Jianyan lowered his eyes happily.
Of course, let yourself be saved by the other party.
***
Lilith looked at Wen Ya, who was walking toward this side, and went forward nervously: I just saw that you seemed to be chatting with the anchor who scammed you. What's going on? What happened?
Is that guy planning some bad idea again?
Chuan Ze narrowed his eyes vigilantly.
Wen Ya:
She pursed her lips and rarely didn't respond. Instead, she turned her head and looked in the direction of the door, abruptly changing the subject: What happened?
???
Lilith and Chuan Ze looked at each other in surprise.
Waitwhy was Wen Ya's attitude a bit strange?
Didn't she hate that guy the most?
The author has something to say:
Lilith and Chuan Ze: ???
Sister? Didn't you tell us to be wary of this liar?!
