Jiang Li and the other four exchanged glances.
A moment ago, everyone had passed Jiang Li’s flyer around and knew there was a rule written on it.
Visitor Rules for the amusement park, Rule Four:
[If you encounter a salesperson promoting Colorful Ice Cream from the beverage area, please do not refuse.]
Liang Chen leaned close to Zhao Qingqing’s ear and asked in a low voice, “Is that little toddler a salesperson?”
Zhao Qingqing frowned slightly, shook her head, and whispered back to Liang Chen, “She doesn’t look like one. This amusement park wouldn’t go so far as to use child labor, right? She’s so tiny. We should be able to refuse her outright.”
Up ahead, Jiang Li crouched down and gently patted the Little Princess on the head with a smile. “Sure. Give me one.”
Jiang Li took a stick of Colorful Ice Cream.
The Little Princess then turned and looked at the remaining four.
The other four followed Jiang Li’s example, each taking one.
The Little Princess clapped her hands in satisfaction.
“Thank you for not refusing me~ This princess has decided that all five big brothers and sisters get a reward!”
The Little Princess took five Graffiti Cards out of the Pumpkin Carriage.
Each card had a corresponding cartoon character on it.
Jiang Li’s was Pinocchio.
“If you run into danger, you can summon them anytime~ I’m leaving now! Bye-bye, big brothers and sisters.”
The Little Girl in a crown and puffy skirt pushed the Pumpkin Carriage away again, departing with elegant steps.
“Jiang Li, we can’t eat this, right? It’ll kill us if we do,” Xu Haoran kindly reminded her.
Zhao Qingqing also said, “That little toddler should be a visitor, not a salesperson. Actually, refusing her probably wouldn’t have mattered.”
Jiang Li nodded to them. “True, she isn’t a salesperson. But she isn’t a visitor either.
“After visitors get caught in the rain, their bodies become contaminated. But that child just now didn’t. She isn’t afraid of the Red Rain.”
Jiang Li turned her gaze into Children’s Paradise.
Inside the park, the dreamy fairy-tale layout suited the Little Princess in her splendid outfit far better.
That girl belonged to Children’s Paradise.
“Not only that, but that Little Girl is also very special,” Jiang Li explained.
She lifted her eyes slightly, signaling for everyone to look inside Children’s Paradise.
“Look at the ordinary staff in Children’s Paradise. No matter how lavishly they’re dressed, they can’t leave their posts or walk out of the area.
“But the Little Girl just now is different. She belongs to Children’s Paradise, but she can also come and go freely.
“So I’m guessing that she isn’t just an important character in Children’s Paradise. She’s also an important character in the amusement park as a whole.
“For example… the amusement park’s Mascot. What do you think, Chenchen?”
Jiang Li turned to look at Liang Chen.
Liang Chen was one of the rare people in the amusement park who had seen the Mascot.
With Jiang Li’s reminder, Liang Chen immediately realized it too.
“Right. I was just thinking there was something strange about that Little Girl. She didn’t have a parent with her, and she wasn’t staff either.”
Liang Chen thought for a moment, then agreed with Jiang Li’s view.
“But why doesn’t she have a character introduction? And why did she sneak out to hand out ice cream?” Liang Chen asked in confusion.
Jiang Li sank into thought.
If there was no character introduction, then logically, the Little Girl must have taken the initiative to put it away.
If the Mascot wandered around outside and had to show her character introduction to every visitor who saw her, she would very likely be exhausted to death.
As for handing out Colorful Ice Cream…
Jiang Li’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Was it possible that the Mascot was protecting the visitors?
Perhaps that seemingly dreamy Children’s Paradise contained extremely brutal ways to die.
Maybe letting visitors eat the ice cream and perish in sweetness was better than having their bodies and minds ravaged inside.
But that was only Jiang Li’s speculation.
Jiang Li glanced in the Little Princess’s direction.
In the line, several Little Boys had also accepted Colorful Ice Cream.
After the boys finished eating the ice cream, they followed the Little Princess with silly smiles, heading toward the amusement park’s West Gate.
“Ah! The ice cream melted onto my hand!”
Zhao Qingqing cried out in alarm and quickly took out a tissue to wipe her hand.
The ice cream needed to be dealt with quickly.
Jiang Li thought for a moment, then held the Colorful Ice Cream in front of Red Infant.
“Baby, this ice cream is poisonous. Can you eat it?”
The drowsy Red Infant was woken by Jiang Li.
He leaned his head closer and stretched out his little nose, sniffing the poisonous Colorful Ice Cream.
“Wow, this smells so good.” Red Infant immediately perked up.
His eyes shone, and even his voice grew much more excited. “Mommy, I can eat it! I’m not afraid of poison. I’m more poisonous than it is.”
Red Infant hugged the ice cream and polished it off in no time.
In Red Infant’s memory, ever since he and his little brother had been born, he had never eaten anything this good.
Seeing this, the four people beside Jiang Li each came up to Jiang Li’s left shoulder in turn and tempted Red Infant with their own Colorful Ice Cream, aiming their words at the empty space there.
Red Infant ate all five in one breath. In the end, he rubbed his little belly and burped, perfectly satisfied.
To Jiang Li and the others, it was poison.
But to Red Infant, it was a miracle tonic.
The five of them chatted and laughed in the line for a bit.
Before long, they reached the entrance to Children’s Paradise.
“Visitors, please stop!”
A staff member dressed as a knight stretched out a hand, blocking Zhao Qingqing, who was at the front of the line.
“Our Children’s Paradise only allows children inside! Parents and guardians may not enter!”
