Chapter 159 National Destiny: The Evil Cultivator’s Playground 47
However, at this time, another round of snatching ghost coins was staged again. The players from the small countries that had been plundered were unwilling to lose all hope, so they set their sights on other players from the same weak countries. For a moment, the entrance of the amusement park fell into chaos again.
Seeing this, Zhu Lili knew that if things continued like this, the situation would only get worse. She took a deep breath and said to Liu Lei and the others, "We can't waste any more time here. We must get into the amusement park as soon as possible."
Liu Lei nodded in agreement. He glanced at the players who were fighting for ghost coins and couldn't help but sigh: Human nature is so complicated! In this world full of fear and uncertainty, some people choose to unite to fight against difficulties together, while others choose selfishness and greed.
Zhu Lili led her teammates and several players from other countries with whom she had good relations to the ticket office. Along the way, they carefully avoided the players who were fighting for ghost coins, fearing that they would be involved.
When Zhu Lili and the others walked to the ticket office, the players from the Ugly Country also stopped and watched their actions without blinking. They wanted to make a reference for their next move.
The ghosts at the ticket office saw the arrival of Zhu Lili and other players, and their eyes were filled with bloody, brutal and greedy looks. They had just devoured a player's arm, and the player's blood was still on the corners of their mouths. However, when Zhu Lili approached, the strong yin energy emanating from her body made the ghosts at the ticket office look frightened.
The ghosts looked at each other, and all of them showed that this player was not easy to mess with. They thought about it and realized that there were many players behind them, so why bother to mess with these powerful players?
So when Zhu Lili took the ghost coins to exchange for the admission tickets, the ghosts at the ticket office did not have any intention of making things difficult for her. They smoothly handed the admission tickets to Zhu Lili and others, and also gave them a few amusement park guides.
"Thank you." Zhu Lili took the ticket and guidebook and nodded to the ghosts at the ticket office. Then she turned to Liu Lei and the others and said, "Let's go."
Liu Lei and the others nodded and followed Zhu Lili into the gate of the amusement park. As soon as they entered the gate, they felt a cold breath coming towards them. The surrounding environment became dim and weird, as if they were in a cursed world.
"Everyone, be careful." Zhu Lili warned in a low voice, "The ghosts in here are definitely more powerful than those outside."
Liu Lei and the others nodded their heads to show they understood. They followed closely behind Zhu Lili, exploring carefully forward.
Deep in the amusement park, a huge Ferris wheel was turning slowly. Each of its carriages was emitting a faint light, as if some mysterious power was attracting everyone.
"Is that the Ferris wheel over there?" Liu Lei asked, pointing at the Ferris wheel in the distance.
“It looks like it.”
Lily heard Liu Lei's question and looked up from the amusement park guide in her hand to the Ferris wheel in the distance. She nodded and studied the attractions in the amusement park carefully. Pirate ship. Carousel. Bungee jumping machine, roller coaster. Haunted house. Shooting games. Whack-a-mole, etc.
This made everyone come out of their state of being completely in the dark. After thinking about it, the other games were a bit too dangerous. Let's start with the carousel, which seemed to have the least risk factor. After everyone decided on the first attraction, they followed the map in the amusement park guide to the carousel.
She glanced at the amusement park guide in her hand, and a look of determination appeared on her face. She turned around and said to Liu Lei and other teammates: "Let's go in and play the carousel first, and then decide the next step based on the situation."
Liu Lei nodded, knowing that Zhu Lili's judgments were usually accurate. They followed the guide and walked along a dim path towards the carousel. On both sides of the path, there were bursts of weird laughter and screams from time to time, which made people shudder.
"The atmosphere here is really weird." Qian Zhe said in a low voice, his brows furrowed, obviously worried about the unknown that was about to happen.
Just as Zhu Lili and her group walked further and further away and disappeared into the shadow of the Ferris wheel, the Ugly Country players outside witnessed everything, and their expressions changed from initial confusion to anxiety. The leader of the team, a middle-aged man with a face full of flesh, clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with unwillingness and anger.
"What should we do? They just went in and took things from those ghosts!" a young ugly country player asked anxiously.
The middle-aged man glared at him fiercely and shouted in a low voice: "Why are you panicking? We also have ghost coins, so just go in!"
However, just as they were about to walk towards the ticket office, a trembling voice suddenly rang out from the crowd: "Did you...did you see that? Is the fog...is it getting closer and closer to us?"
Hearing this, everyone turned their heads and saw that the fog that was originally spreading in the distance was actually approaching them slowly. In the thick fog, it seemed as if countless pairs of dark eyes were hidden, spying on them, who were about to become prey to the dead.
"Damn it, what the hell is going on!" The middle-aged man cursed, but he also knew that they could not afford to hesitate any longer. He quickly led his team, rudely pushed aside the players in the queue in front of him, and walked straight to the ticket office.
Although the players who were pushed away were dissatisfied, they did not dare to say anything when they saw that it was the Ugly Country's team. They could only silently retreat to the back and queue up again.
The people of Ugly Country came to the ticket office and handed the ghost coins in their hands to the ticket ghost. However, unlike Zhu Lili and others, the ticket ghost did not hand over the tickets to them immediately. He hesitated for a long time, as if looking for a flaw to attack.
The middle-aged man's heart tightened when he saw this. He pretended to be calm and said to the ticket seller: "We are players from the Ugly Country. Do you dare to play tricks on us?"
The ticket seller heard this and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. He raised his head and stared at the middle-aged man with his scarlet eyes, grinning sinisterly: "Humph, players from the Ugly Country? There is no distinction between countries here."
The middle-aged man was so angry at the ticket ghost's words that his face turned blue, but he also knew that this was not the time to lose his temper. He suppressed his anger and took out more ghost coins from his pocket, trying to impress the ticket ghost with money.
However, the ticket seller seemed unmoved. He stared at the ghost coin in the middle-aged man's hand, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes, but then he regained his composure. He waved his hand, signaling the middle-aged man to put the ghost coin away.
"Hmph, don't think you can impress me with just this little bit of ghost money. I want something more precious." The ticket-selling ghost sneered.
The middle-aged man's heart tightened. He knew what the ticket ghost meant by "precious things". But he also knew that there was no way out at this time. He gritted his teeth and said to the ticket ghost: "Okay, as long as you let us in, we will give you whatever you want!"
When the ticket seller heard this, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes. He nodded and signaled the middle-aged man to take the ticket. However, when the middle-aged man reached out to take the ticket, the ticket seller suddenly stretched out his claws and grabbed his arm.
"Ah!" The middle-aged man screamed, and felt a huge force coming, and his arm was instantly torn off. Blood gushed out, splashing all over the players nearby. They watched this scene in horror, but did not dare to make any sound.
The ticket seller chewed the middle-aged man's arm with satisfaction, his eyes flashing with cruelty. He raised his head and said to the remaining Ugly Country players: "Is there anyone else who wants to hinder my work?"
As soon as this sentence came out, the remaining Ugly Country players were instantly chilled to the bone. They rushed to the ticket checkpoint as if they were escaping, fearing that they would become the next victim.
Under the reluctant action of the ticket inspector ghost, the Ugly Country players finally entered the amusement park. However, they did not have a smooth journey like Zhu Lili and others. Deep in the amusement park, they encountered all kinds of strange ghosts and traps. Every choice seemed to be hovering between life and death, making them feel unprecedented fear and despair.
At the same time, outside the amusement park, players who did not have enough ghost coins to buy tickets were also experiencing a life-and-death test. The fog had quietly approached them, and the ghost hand stretched out from the fog could pull them into endless darkness at any time.
"What should we do? I don't want to die!" a young player shouted in despair.
However, in this world full of fear and despair, no one can give them answers.
Just when everyone was in despair, a ticket seller suddenly came out of the amusement park. He held a few tickets in his hand and said to the players who were still hesitating:
"Do you want a ticket to enter? If so, you will have to pay with your body parts."
This proposal is undoubtedly a huge temptation for those players who are about to die. After weighing the pros and cons of immediate death and losing body parts, some players gritted their teeth and decided to trade with the ticket ghost.
Covered in blood, they entered the amusement park with their admission tickets, hoping to find a glimmer of hope inside.
However, for those players who are still hesitating, their fate is already sealed.
While they were still hesitating, the fog had already approached them silently. The ghostly hands that stretched out from the fog instantly pulled them into it, leaving only screams echoing in the night sky.
