Chapter 250
The two of them made their way to the Giant Swing.
They turned a blind eye to the tourists being carted away one after another.
Before long, the line moved forward, and the brothers finally took their seats on the Giant Swing.
“Bro, if you’re scared, just scream. I won’t laugh at you!”
“Don’t worry, little brother. Your big brother is much tougher than you!”
To an outsider, they would have looked like a perfectly harmonious pair of brothers.
In reality, the battle between them was no less fierce than what Heizi dealt with every day.
One had racked his brains for a way to stab his older brother in the back.
The other cared deeply for his little brother and could hardly wait to take the first photo since the brothers reunited.
Soon, the Giant Swing was packed with tourists and began its final run of the morning.
The brothers exchanged a glance, then each turned his head away.
As the Giant Swing gradually picked up speed, Nangong Guo spoke first.
“Little brother, if you’re scared, I can protect you!”
Nangong Zhi forced a smile onto his stiff face.
“What are you talking about, my dear brother? Aren’t you the one who’s supposed to be scared?”
As it happened, Nangong Zhi was absolutely right.
He came here once every month, so Nangong Guo couldn’t compare to his little brother in terms of experience.
All told, Nangong Guo had only visited an amusement park twice.
Nangong Zhi, on the other hand, not only had his monthly assignment, but was also brought here by the neighboring Narcotics Unit for training whenever he had downtime.
He had ridden this Giant Swing eight, if not ten, times.
According to the third principle of Professor Yao’s Theory, the more times visitors to the Amusement Park experienced its attractions, the more antibodies their bodies would produce.
Thus, after the Giant Swing flung them into the sky for the fifth time, Nangong Guo, the older brother, was the first to give in.
Tears and snot streamed wildly across his face.
Of course, Nangong Zhi had only ridden it around ten times himself.
Compared to veterans like Qingqing or Li Yang, he was still a notch behind.
After the Giant Swing launched them into the air for the fifteenth time, his expression began to fall apart as well.
As the little brother who had spent years being bullied, Nangong Zhi somehow mustered enough willpower to pull out his phone and snap a picture of his older brother.
Once that was done, he finally passed out too.
Professor Yao stared at the kneeling postures of the tourists on the Giant Swing and couldn’t help feeling that something was still missing.
He glanced expectantly toward Werewolf.
Old Wei was taking his sweet time!
Brimming with anticipation, Professor Yao swiftly examined all the unconscious tourists.
Then he silently pushed the cart toward the Morgue, his anticipation growing even stronger.
Once that girl arrived at the Amusement Park, the water park could be left in her hands.
That would free up the doctor to join Professor Yao in staking out the attractions like they used to.
The mere thought of that joy filled him with energy.
Soon, it was time for the lunch break.
The Nangong brothers gradually regained consciousness.
The first thing Nangong Zhi did after waking was pull out his phone.
At the sight of that utterly tragic photo, he burst into unrestrained laughter.
Nangong Guo took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the urge to murder and dismember him.
Over and over, he warned himself, He’s your own little brother. Your own little brother!
“Hey, bro, I’m in a good mood. Lunch is on me today!”
“You really are such a wonderful little brother.”
“Of course I am!”
An elated Nangong Zhi tried to climb out of bed and bring his older brother back a human head.
Unfortunately, his delight had made him temporarily forget what he had just been through.
His rubbery legs gave out, and he crashed straight to the floor.
Nangong Guo, who had only just sat up, froze in surprise.
A smile instantly spread across his face.
“Well, my dear little brother, are you bowing to your elder brother?”
Nangong Guo gritted his teeth hard enough to crack them. “I was just thinking of buying lunch for my dear big brother!”
The two loving, ever-courteous brothers-one sitting and the other kneeling-somehow managed to chat like that for a full three minutes.
Only when Nangong Zhi finally struggled to his feet did their harmonious conversation come to an end.
Nangong Zhi dragged his weakened legs all the way back with their lunch.
A set meal from the Amusement Park was laid out on the small dining table.
One order of Human Head Hotpot, two orders of Braised Human Hand, and ten skewers of eyeballs.
The visual impact alone made Nangong Guo’s heart pound.
“My dear big brother, why aren’t you eating?”
“We should respect the elderly and care for the young. You first, little brother!”
A smile immediately appeared on Nangong Zhi’s lips.
He picked up a skewer of eyeballs and stuffed it straight into his mouth.
Nangong Guo took a deep breath, scooped up a spoonful of brains, and put it into his mouth.
Round two of their battle ended in a draw!
Meanwhile, at the entrance to the amusement park, a girl’s face was filled with terror.
I should be in the right place… probably?
Spread out before her were over a hundred people sitting at small tables.
Some were eating brains, others were gnawing on human hands, and still others were stripping eyeballs off skewers.
It wasn’t just a visual assault. It stirred a primal fear buried deep within every human being.
The girl stopped at the gates of the Amusement Park, unable to bring herself to go inside.
Then a voice sounded beside her.
“First time here?”
The girl turned her head. Qingqing was holding a hand and gnawing on its middle finger.
“Y-You… You…”
“Relax. It isn’t human flesh. It just looks like it.”
The girl calmed down slightly after hearing that.
Even so, she couldn’t suppress the fear in her heart.
“Is Boss Zhang here?”
Qingqing nodded. “Yeah. What do you want with that bastard?”
The girl took a red envelope out of her backpack.
“I’m from the Dinishi Fog City Branch. I’ve come to invite Boss Zhang to visit us and experience our attractions.”
Qingqing fell silent.
An invitation?
Or a challenge delivered right to their doorstep?
Supposedly, the first thing the last challenger had done after returning home was block Boss Zhang on WeChat.
Rumor also had it that several Haunted House employees had resigned on the spot after experiencing the Underground Maze.
Even doubling their salaries hadn’t been enough to stop them from going in.
“Are you sure you want to invite that bastard?”
“Our manager wrote this invitation personally. He sincerely hopes Boss Zhang can visit in person.”
“Is there something wrong with your manager’s head?”
Qingqing couldn’t help asking.
Future Amusement Park’s exploits might not be common knowledge, but word had certainly spread throughout the industry.
Even amusement park experience streamers like them had been talking about it.
There was no reason the people at Disney wouldn’t know. They shouldn’t be ignorant of it.
The girl frowned. “Our current manager was parachuted in from overseas. As a foreigner, he might not know much about the situation here.”
Her voice was full of bitterness.
How could she not know what Future Amusement Park had done?
But every newly appointed manager wanted to make a big show of their authority.
If he wasn’t going to turn on his own people, he could only point his gun at outsiders.
And so, Boss Zhang, whose name had been causing an uproar throughout the Amusement Park industry, became his first choice.
“Give it to me. Boss Zhang will definitely go.”
Qingqing accepted the invitation, her eyes gleaming with excitement.
“I messed up. I scheduled it for 5 p.m. on No. 11, but it ended up as 11 a.m. on the 17th.”
