Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 988 Everyone's here

Seeing Chen Yi and An Jie talking, Xu Han chimed in, winking and making faces:

“Yeah, Sister An, the way you looked just now was like you were going to grab Shi Jiu and tie her up.”

Anjie: "..."

"nonsense!"

"..."

As they talked, they started walking forward. Anjie was clearly walking faster than the other three. He Lingling glanced at Anjie and said:

"Sister An, are you coming up too?"

Anjie paused in her steps.

"...I'm considering it."

After replying, Anjie quickened her pace and walked far away before He Lingling could respond.

He Lingling: "..."

He Lingling's eyelids twitched as she looked at it, and she asked in confusion, "Do I look like I'm trying to stop Sister An from going?"

Chen Yi and Xu Han: "..."

Xu Han couldn't help but laugh out loud, "I guess Sister An is worried that she can't keep up with Shi Jiu, right?"

"..."

In fact, both of these possibilities exist in Anjie's mind right now.

Anjie was genuinely worried that He Lingling would try to stop her from going.

As for whether or not to follow Shangyu Shijiu... I have this thought, but it's not a big deal.

Yu Shijiu had already entered the roller coaster area.

The clown, who had been busy attracting tourists, immediately flashed his exaggerated, signature enthusiastic smile when he saw him approaching.

"Here we are! New tourists! Welcome! Please line up here. Once everyone is on board, we'll depart immediately!"

"..."

Yu Shijiu was at the back of the line, with several ordinary-looking tourists in front of him.

They glanced back at Yu Shijiu, who was standing behind them in line. Yu Shijiu had the same standard, stiff smile on his face as the other tourists around him.

Yu Shijiu smiled politely at them.

There were plenty of seats on the roller coaster, and it wasn't long before it was his turn to get on.

A clown-like staff member, dressed in red and yellow uniforms and wearing a name tag on his chest, enthusiastically guided him to sit in the first row of the roller coaster—the most thrilling spot on the entire coaster.

"Please make sure to fasten your seatbelt—also, please keep your eyes open the entire time—absolutely do not close your eyes—"

The staff member's voice rang in my ears, with an eerie emphasis.

Yu Shijiu's gaze fell on the name tag on his chest—Roller Coaster Area Staff, Clown.

clown.

It's the clown again.

So far, apart from the carousel where there's a "carousel princess," the staff at the shooting range and roller coaster are all clowns, and...

Yu Shijiu raised his eyelids and glanced at the clown in front of him. He felt that although the color of the clown's face paint looked different from that of the clown at the shooting stall, his body shape, height, and even the contours of his facial features looked very similar.

Why can't I close my eyes?

Even knowing the price of closing his eyes, Yu Shijiu still asked a question very much in keeping with his tourist persona.

"Because if you close your eyes—you might see some unpleasant things—"

The clown said with a smile.

"Ok."

Yu Shijiu gave a perfunctory reply, looked down to check his seatbelt, and then looked up at the tracks ahead.

When will it open?

He asked again.

The clown glanced back at the crowd queuing behind him, his eyes suddenly lighting up.

"Start once everyone is ready!"

He let out a particularly loud howl, then quickly turned and ran away.

Yu Shijiu, seated: "?"

Why are you running?

If it weren't for the poor visibility after getting in the car, he would definitely have turned around to see what was making the clown so excited... But he could ask Sister An and the others after getting out of the car...

As Yu Shijiu leaned back in his chair, lost in thought, he heard two footsteps behind him.

The jumbled thoughts in her mind vanished instantly. Yu Shijiu raised her head, looked at the distorted track ahead, and remained silent.

Until the clown's enthusiastic voice rang out again—

"Sit here! This is the most thrilling spot on the whole roller coaster, with the best view!"

Okay, thank you.

A cold female voice reached Yu Shijiu's ears. He twitched his ears and turned his head to look at the woman sitting down next to him, almost in disbelief.

It's Anjie.

Ange raised an eyebrow at him, and under the clown's guidance, fastened her seatbelt, appearing very silent and quiet.

Yu Shijiu: "..."

After the clown left, he blinked and whispered:

"Sister An, what brings you up here too?"

"Can't I come up?"

Anjie laughed and said, "I've never ridden a roller coaster before. Conditions weren't very good back then, so I was actually quite curious."

Yu Shijiu was a little skeptical: "...Really?"

Ange: "Really."

As the two talked, the roller coaster began to slowly ascend.

Anjie immediately fell silent, and Yu Shijiu also quieted down, staring silently at the track ahead.

Click—click—click—

The sound of the chains pulling in their ears was rhythmic and mechanical.

As they continued to ascend, the scenery around them began to open up.

The entire amusement park is laid out before you –

The carousel is adorned with colorful lights, the bumper car track is abandoned, the Ferris wheel cabins turn slowly, the haunted castle has broken windows, and so on...

And then there were the densely packed tourists, moving like ants.

Yu Shijiu sat at the highest point, his eyes slightly narrowed.

He wouldn't have noticed them if they were blending into the crowd, but now, looking down from his height, he could see the movement patterns of those tourists... It was very strange.

Instead of tourists wandering around the amusement park at will, each person moves back and forth between the rides along a fixed route.

It's just like……

A puppet with a pre-programmed sequence of events.

The clicking sound of the chain beside my ear stopped.

As the roller coaster reached the highest point of the track, a tinkling sound suddenly filled the ears of the two people.

"La la la la—"

The entire train they were riding on hovered at its highest point for several seconds, accompanied by music.

In those few seconds, apart from the sudden burst of cheerful music, the surroundings were deathly silent; not a single person uttered a sound.

The sounds of the wind, chains, and tourists... all disappeared.

Only Yu Shijiu's own heartbeat and the music could be heard clearly and continuously in his ears.

thump -- thump -- thump --

Then, he suddenly heard a voice.

It's very light, with a moisture-like softness and gentleness.

"Want to... get down?"

Yu Shijiu's pupils suddenly contracted.

This sound—

The voice he heard in his dream after the "Return Journey" instance ended... was exactly the same.

"I'll take you... away..."

who is it?

Who is it?

Yu Shijiu opened his mouth, subconsciously realizing that the owner of this voice seemed to be very important to him.

Furthermore… this voice definitely has nothing to do with the current instance, so why is that—

"I'll take you away..."

The voice in my ear hadn't finished speaking—

The roller coaster beneath Yu Shijiu suddenly plunged downwards!
