Chapter 175
Jiang Li took the keycard and said to Huohuo, “Thank you.”
Huohuo beamed at Jiang Li.
“You’re welcome! I still have to go find other people to play with, so I won’t keep you sisters company anymore~”
Jiang Li watched as Huohuo headed toward the other cabins, her retreating figure looking carefree.
In her heart, Jiang Li could vaguely guess at the conflict and pain Huohuo was feeling.
Huohuo represented the dead players.
The dead thirsted for water. They yearned for a source of water.
On their behalf, she sought water from the players in the game.
But in the process of searching for water, Huohuo might also end up killing new players, creating another batch of dead.
The dead would never stop coming.
So Huohuo’s mission would never end.
Ever since she came into existence, the rules had been set this way, trapping her here.
In this world, even Aberrations were nothing more than slaves of the Ghost Face Organization.
If they could find a way to “sever the connection between the Ghost Face Organization and the Aberrations,”
then perhaps the “Aberration World” that the Ghost Face Organization had so painstakingly built would collapse on itself.
This contest between the “Chosen One” and the “Ghost Face Organization” would then reach a perfect conclusion.
Jiang Li gathered her thoughts and returned to the cabin.
The iron wall Huohuo had kicked open repaired and sealed itself within seconds, blocking off the passage to the Ghost Face Organization’s internal prison.
Jiang Li held the keycard up to the crack of the iron cabin door and swiped it lightly.
The illusion of the sheet-iron cabin had appeared the instant the door was “locked,” and now, at the moment it was “unlocked,” it shattered.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Li and the other two returned to the Ferris wheel’s “normal cabin.” Red Infant was there as well.
By now, Cabin No. 01 of the Ferris wheel had gradually risen to its highest point, a hundred meters in the air.
But before anyone could enjoy the view, an ugly, filthy, grinning Aberration face on the cabin window nearly scared them all into cardiac arrest.
“Holy crap, where did that ugly thing come from?! You scared me to death…”
Liang Chen immediately sprang to her feet, backed away from the window, and hid farther back while patting her chest.
The man outside was wearing the standard staff uniform.
His hair was a tangled mess, and he was now plastered against the outside of the window like a spider.
White threads like spider silk spilled from his mouth, helping him crawl back and forth across the Ferris wheel high in the air.
Judging by his mental state, this man was probably quite deranged.
Maybe the job had driven him mad.
“Found you. I found you! You just wait.”
The man seemed to be a game supervisor.
He muttered under his breath as he crawled sideways along the window, moving in a dark, sinister way.
From the look of him, he was planning to circle around to the door, pry open the crack, and squeeze in from outside.
Jiang Li’s group had escaped danger time and again, drawing the staff’s suspicion early on.
While the other players were still enduring their third or fourth deadly crisis, Jiang Li’s group had broken free far too soon.
But the staff had no intention of letting them go just because of that.
Spider Man crawled to the door and was reaching inside, trying to pry open the cabin door.
Liang Chen, who had learned taekwondo, instantly stepped half a pace back and threw a spinning kick straight at the man’s dark, grimy fingers.
Out of instinct, Spider Man jerked his hand back to avoid it, then glared at Liang Chen with a vicious expression.
Jiang Li and the others hurried forward and pressed their weight against the cabin door.
“Just you wait, just you wait! I’m going to get someone. I’m going to get someone…” Spider Man cursed and grumbled.
Clinging to the cabin wall, he crawled downward, apparently going to find his coworkers for help.
Jiang Li glanced down.
On several of the Ferris wheel cabins below, there were also strange men like him, crawling around and spitting silk.
Spiders…
The Ghost Face Organization’s internal personnel had spider attributes.
And a spider’s natural enemy was a bee.
Jiang Li thought back to all the places inside the amusement park where little yellow bees had appeared.
The little yellow bee mascot handing out flyers, and… that enormous Little Yellow Bee Balloon slowly rising above the main road.
Jiang Li immediately went to the window and looked outside at the Little Yellow Bee Balloon.
At that moment, outside the Ferris wheel cabin, the Little Yellow Bee Balloon was slowly approaching.
The massive balloon drifted past the drop tower, past the roller coaster, past the pendulum ride, and was now heading toward the Ferris wheel.
Two long banners were mounted across the top of the balloon, special notices left for visitors on high-altitude attractions.
The first banner read: “Little Yellow Bee Safety Balloon, proudly created by the Little Yellow Bee Foundation.”
The second banner read: “If you feel unwell at high altitude, please feel free to come to us. We will take care of the aftermath.”
The exterior of this enormous Little Yellow Bee Balloon was not a smooth surface.
At the center of the balloon, where the little yellow bee’s back was, there was a sunken “rectangular area.”
Inside the depression was a sea of foam balls designed to cushion impact.
The material of the Little Yellow Bee Balloon also wasn’t like an ordinary balloon that would burst at the slightest poke.
This Little Yellow Bee Balloon had been carefully designed for rescue.
Its material was visibly sturdier, similar to that of an airbag.
This was a lifeline specially released by the Little Yellow Bee Foundation for visitors on high-altitude attractions.
“Once the safety balloon gets close, we jump in immediately,” Jiang Li told Liang Chen and the other one.
