Chapter 137 My Childhood Self
Chapter 137 My Childhood Self
Inside the amusement park, crowds surged, and laughter filled every corner.
Suddenly, a staff member wearing a rabbit headgear appeared in the crowd, and her arrival immediately attracted the attention of many players.
She wore a brightly colored work uniform, the vibrant colors complementing her surroundings.
He wore a large, fluffy white rabbit headgear, and his two long ears swayed gently as he moved.
The fluffy rabbit headgear added a touch of playfulness and fun, making it particularly eye-catching.
With gentle smiles, the staff slowly squeezed through the crowd and approached the players.
As she approaches, players can clearly see the intricate details on the headgear.
Simulated rabbit fur, a delicate nose, and lifelike eyes.
In this fairytale-like amusement park, the rabbit staff member seems like a character straight out of a storybook.
She slowly bowed and gave the players a standard greeting.
On his lowered face, unnoticed by anyone, were his increasingly bloodshot eyes.
His voice carried a hint of amusement and excitement, "Honorable players, please follow me. Your master has arranged accommodations for you."
Without hesitation, the players silently followed the staff member who was leading the way.
The player you are following, Jiang Qi, has entered the dungeon.
[The Monster Guild has entered the Paradise Lost instance.]
The Black Crow Guild has entered the Paradise Lost instance.
[Guild XX has entered the Paradise Lost instance.]
【…】
Many viewers who were following Jiang Qi's movements eagerly entered the live broadcast room.
After four instances, Jiang Qi's fan base has skyrocketed, showing a trend of surpassing Cheng Cuo's.
As viewers entered the live stream, the chat became increasingly active, and occasionally, numerous donation messages could be seen.
"Ding! A viewer with the ID '祁神YYDS' has rewarded Jiang Qi with 200 points."
"..."
"Wow, the person who gave this tip must be a big spender."
"Ahhh, it's been so long since I've seen Sister Wanchu! She's so cool, I love her so much!!!"
"Hey, upstairs, are you a fan of Lin Wanchu? Did you enter the wrong live stream?"
“I didn’t join the wrong group. I like every member of the Monster guild, so I’ll take a look around every live stream.”
"A day apart feels like three autumns. Qi Shen has actually started a guild. He is truly deserving of being the guild leader."
"Tsk tsk tsk, not a single member of the guild is bad-looking. If you didn't know better, you'd think they were here for a talent show."
"Sigh, this team is really cruel. Out of seven teams, only one can win."
"However, I still hope that Jiang Qi can lead the Monster guild to victory and leave the instance."
Cheng Cuo casually put his hands in his pockets, lagging behind the staff by a step, his voice nonchalant.
"What is your name?"
The staff member paused, then suddenly turned to look at Cheng Cuo.
"Please call me Miss Rabbit, hee hee."
Although Miss Rabbit's voice wasn't loud, all the players present could hear it.
Then, just like a rabbit, Miss Rabbit hopped and skipped forward to lead the way.
Jiang Qi and Lu Zhi walked side by side, while Yu Hansheng naturally followed Cheng Cuo.
Yu Hansheng was also observing his surroundings discreetly, along with the rabbit lady who was leading the way.
Everything here is so beautiful and dreamlike, as if they have really returned to their childhood and come to this amusement park to play.
Lin Wanchu, Lu Xue, and Chi Miaomiao lagged behind, turning around to look around, hoping to glean some clues from the entertainment facilities.
Jiang Qi occasionally rubbed his earlobe, his mind churning with thoughts that surged like waves, one after another.
They will stay in Paradise Lost for ten days in total; the game will officially begin tomorrow.
So, is today just the remaining time for players to explore the park?
Nightmare games aren't so kind.
Moreover, if he didn't mishear or misremember.
The system states this in the dungeon's description, though it's possible the owner of the park said it himself.
It mentioned something like, "Come to my lost paradise at night, let's play together."
The word "night" is quite interesting.
Jiang Qi could only think of one possibility: for players, the true opening time of Paradise Lost was at night.
Having traversed so many instances, Jiang Qi was adept at extracting key information from the system's output.
Even if it's just a single sentence, he'll meticulously analyze it.
When the time for players to officially start the game arrives at midnight, the exact moment when day and night meet.
Lu Zhiwei, standing beside him, subtly tilted his head in a movement almost invisible to others.
There's someone with ill intentions watching them from behind. Who could it be?
Apart from Qin Si, they basically didn't know any of the other guilds, nor had they ever met any of the members.
However, the leaders of other guilds were very familiar with them.
Before Jiang Qi could think any further, Miss Rabbit led them to a small house.
The players all looked up at the building without prior arrangement.
The building's exterior is full of color and creativity, resembling a cottage from a fairy tale, with its roof covered in colorful tiles.
The exterior walls are decorated with various colorful paintings, full of childlike fun and joy.
As Miss Rabbit pushed open the door, Jiang Qi's heart pounded, and a sudden sense of foreboding arose within him.
When Miss Rabbit fully pushed open the door, Jiang Qi saw the scene inside and his pupils suddenly contracted.
The ominous premonition came true.
Many children were sitting on the sofa in the lobby, and one of them was none other than himself; Jiang Qi would not mistake him.
When Lu Xue saw her childhood self, her eyes widened slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed across them.
Rubbing her eyes uncertainly, she opened them again, and the scene was still the same. Only then did Lu Xue finally accept the fact.
When Yu Hansheng saw his childhood self and the familiar fish tank in his arms, his indifferent eyes finally wavered.
Lu Zhi narrowed his dark eyes as he looked at his older brother from when he was a child, a dangerous glint flashing in his eyes, and he involuntarily curled his fingers.
She was so cute as a child, but now she exudes a cold, sharp aura.
Cheng Cuo changed his nonchalant demeanor and slowly lowered his face.
What kind of weird tricks is this nightmare game up to now?
Chi Miaomiao's movements slowed down as she gazed at her childhood self, her eyes filled with longing.
Lin Wanchu was one of the calmer ones among the seven, though her eyes flickered a few times.
Players from other guilds were also extremely surprised to see themselves as children in the dungeon.
It was Xiao Jiangqi who made the first move. He ran towards Jiangqi with his short legs, like a little adult, and stretched out his little hand.
"Hello, future Jiang Qi, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
Jiang Qi smiled slightly and said, "Hello, little Jiang Qi."
Miss Rabbit looked at the players and spoke calmly, her voice eerie and cold, sending chills down their spines.
"Welcome to Paradise Lost. You need to bring your younger self with you to play and make up for the regrets of your childhood."
"Please note that you must not let your younger self get hurt while playing, or you will be responsible for the consequences."
"The amusement facilities are all safe. Just a reminder, the tickets you purchased are not all-inclusive."
At this moment, the players all realized what was going on.
After a while, each player had a picture of themselves as a child standing obediently next to them.
Jiang Qi led Xiao Jiang Qi to a sofa and sat down.
Lu Zhi didn't care about his childhood self. He picked up little Lu Zhi like a chick and sat him down next to Jiang Qi.
However, both Lu Zhi and Xiao Lu Zhi were very fond of Jiang Qi.
Little Lu Zhi wasn't obedient. He shook off Lu Zhi's hand and climbed into Jiang Qi's arms, sticking to him like a piece of chewing gum.
Lu Zhi exuded a chilling aura, and no one dared to approach him.
Looking around, the lobby is spacious and bright, with various exquisite murals and decorations hanging on the walls.
It features cartoon characters and animal designs, making you feel as if you're in a dream world.
Comfortable sofas and coffee tables are placed in the center of the lobby for players to rest and chat.
In addition, there is a friendly receptionist, Miss Rabbit.
After explaining the precautions, she fell asleep on the front desk.
Even when she was sleeping, she didn't take off the rabbit headgear.
Lu Xue hugged her younger self and looked at Miss Rabbit like this, muttering to herself.
"Doesn't she get hot sleeping like that?"
Cheng Cuo and his younger self stared at each other for a long time, and then the younger Cheng Cuo gave a disdainful snort.
Cheng Cuo didn't tolerate it and slapped him on the head.
"Hey, you little brat."
Xiao Chi Miaomiao was different from the other children; her eyes were dull and lifeless.
Some are just endless emptiness, as if their souls have been hollowed out.
Chi Miaomiao gently picked up her younger self and nestled in a corner, the two remaining silent.
Yu Hansheng tried to take the fish tank from Xiao Hansheng's arms, but couldn't manage to snatch it away.
Xiao Hansheng stared stubbornly at her grown-up self, her eyes red-rimmed.
Yu Hansheng's heart skipped a beat, and he sighed helplessly, giving up on the idea of taking the fish tank.
Xiao Wanchu is exceptionally lively and even wants to talk to her future self about what the world will be like.
