“Task 3 (Final Task): Find and resolve the source of the anomaly in this amusement park.”
“Task Rewards: Gold x2400, Experience x2500, Random Rare Quality Item x1, Random Rare Quality Skill Scroll x1.”
“It’s the final chapter,” Fang Xinhan said after exiting the roller coaster with the others.
“I’m curious, how did you know that the platform just now wasn’t the end? It looked exactly the same as when we first arrived.”
Nuannuan spoke up at this moment, because the platform she sensed was exactly the same as when they had first arrived.
“Fang Team Leader, do you remember the announcement when we arrived? Since there was an announcement at the beginning, there should also be one at the end.
After all, Rule 3 stated that when the roller coaster stops, what is within the rules will definitely happen.
When the roller coaster stopped, there was no announcement of the ride ending, so I boldly guessed that the roller coaster ride was not over yet.
Sure enough, they just wanted us to break the rules.”
“So that’s how it is.” Ji Zi made a gesture of hitting her left palm with her right hand, as if realizing something.
Just then, three people who looked like a family of three—a middle-aged man, a middle-aged woman, and a little girl—were seen. The middle-aged man was holding a camera, wanting to take a family photo.
But there were only three of them; to take a photo, someone had to hold the camera, which meant they couldn't take a group photo.
Suddenly, they saw Fang Xinhan speaking, and the middle-aged man walked straight over.
“Excuse me. My family and I would like to take a family photo. Could you please help me?”
Fang Xinhan was very happy to help, so he agreed.
The middle-aged man handed the camera to Fang Xinhan, and then he raised the camera.
In the camera was the family of three, but besides that, Fang Xinhan also saw a short-haired woman standing behind the middle-aged woman.
“Brother, are there four people in your family?”
Fang Xinhan did not press the shutter button, but instead asked how many people were in their family.
“Young man, there are only three people in our family? Why do you ask?”
Hearing the middle-aged man's reply, the other three women were also stunned, but their first thought was Rule Two of the amusement park.
“Captain, you couldn’t have encountered…” Ji Zi’s words were cut short by Fang Xinhan.
“It’s nothing, brother, it’s just that your standing poses are a bit too ordinary.”
Then Fang Xinhan handed the camera to Ji Zi and warned her to look at them through the camera, but absolutely not to press the shutter.
After warning Ji Zi, Fang Xinhan walked in front of the family of three.
“Brother, your pose is too ordinary. Don’t you think such a simple group photo is too boring?
To be able to recall these happy times at any moment, you should strike a very memorable pose to commemorate it.”
As he spoke, Fang Xinhan began to correct the three people's standing poses, and casually tied a leash around the invisible woman, binding her.
The short-haired woman looked down at the rope tied around her with a puzzled expression, as if saying: How can you see and touch me?
Fang Xinhan originally couldn't see the short-haired woman, but with his Ectos Eye, he immediately activated its ability.
As for the leash, that was an MC characteristic.
Finally, the family of three froze in place in the pose of the Pillar Men from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, the Three Brothers Under the Moonlight.
“Young man, are you sure this pose looks good?” The middle-aged man looked at his pose, feeling utterly embarrassed.
“Brother, I’ll be honest with you, this set of poses is very popular among young people today. They’re all scrambling to take photos in these poses.
If these photos get out, they’ll definitely be very popular with young people, and you’ll surely have very vivid memories of your time at the amusement park.”
Fang Xinhan’s words actually convinced the middle-aged man.
Fang Xinhan, leading the invisible woman, came to Ji Zi, but when Ji Zi looked at Fang Xinhan through the camera and saw the short-haired woman behind him, she took a step back.
Fang Xinhan: Is your step back serious? Do you know how much damage that caused to my heart?
Fang Xinhan had Ji Zi throw the camera to him, then Fang Xinhan handed one end of the leash to Ji Zi.
Then Fang Xinhan used the camera to aim at the family of three. Yes, there was no one else.
Fang Xinhan started taking a flurry of photos.
Ji Zi felt the leash in her hand shaking, but it was still firmly gripped in Fang Xinhan’s hand.
Fang Xinhan would occasionally look back, as if making faces at someone.
However, Fang Xinhan was wearing a player's helmet, so his expression couldn't be seen, but Ji Zi could guess that the expression must be very mischievous.
Finally, after Fang Xinhan finished taking the photos, he returned the camera to the middle-aged man. The family of three looked at the photos.
Although the poses were a bit strange, the shooting angles were excellent, giving a powerful and strong feeling.
After taking the leash from Ji Zi’s hand, Fang Xinhan bid farewell to the family of three.
“Girl, you wouldn’t listen to my good advice yesterday, and look at you now… Forget it, how did you die? I’ll help you collect your body.”
Fang Xinhan recognized this short-haired woman; she was one of the tourists who wanted to find another way out yesterday.
Blood began to flow from the short-haired woman’s eyes, and then she began to cry.
Fang Xinhan directly slapped her across the face.
“We came here to solve the anomaly, and collecting your body is just a side task. We don’t have time to listen to you cry here, and crying also takes time.”
Then the short-haired female ghost led everyone to the center of the amusement park.
At this moment, the atmosphere of the amusement park was strangely eerie, especially the clowns dressed as circus clowns.
They watched Fang Xinhan and his group with a strange smile, but they made no moves, only continuously staring at them.
Strawberry Cake hooked her arm through Ji Zi’s.
“Ji Zi Jie, I’m a little scared.”
Strawberry Cake was clearly a bit frightened by the stares, and her sanity value had begun to drop at some point.
Fang Xinhan twisted open his purified water and handed it to her.
“Your sanity value is dropping, quickly drink some water. After drinking, ignore those clowns.”
The rules stated that only water from vending machines could be drunk; water from other places could not.
Fang Xinhan was unsure if items brought by players themselves would be considered 'water from other places,' so he didn't give Strawberry Cake milk.
After drinking the purified water, Strawberry Cake’s sanity value recovered a bit, but they dared not look at those clowns again.
The short-haired woman stood motionless on the flower bed in the center of the amusement park.
Fang Xinhan understood and took out a shovel, beginning to dig. Due to Fang Xinhan’s MC characteristics, each dig produced a standard 1-cubic-meter block of soil.
Originally, the short-haired woman's corpse was not far from the ground, but due to the MC characteristics, after Fang Xinhan dug out the soil, her corpse was suspended and then fell down.
Everyone: …
Short-haired woman: …
Fang Xinhan: …I said I didn’t do it on purpose, do you believe me?
