Chapter 20: The Administrator and the Guest Arrive!
Chapter 20: The Administrator and the Guest Arrive!
The fog in the horror amusement park grew thicker and thicker, and a terrifying and chilling feeling gathered from all directions, making everyone here feel the increasingly heavy atmosphere.
And now.
There are less than five minutes left until the clock strikes midnight.
The escape team, composed of people imprisoned in the church, has completed all the necessary preparations. They are positioned at the amusement park exit, using the haunted house as cover, silently watching the time tick by.
Behind them, a dense swarm of corrupted monsters lurked in the surrounding area.
This is everyone's trump card; they have an extremely high tolerance for pollution and together they have controlled hundreds of pollution monsters of varying strengths.
"Friends, although we come from different worlds and different forces, we are now all in the same boat and have a common enemy."
"I believe you have also noticed that the Black Robe Society's dark secrets are hidden here."
"Now we just wait for... the guests and the manager to arrive."
We must catch them off guard.
The middle-aged man became the commander-in-chief of this fleeing group, and he did indeed demonstrate a level of professionalism completely different from the others.
Everyone present was extraordinary, and even when faced with a life-or-death situation, none of them showed any fear.
The young man with the earring stroked the dilapidated sign next to him: "We've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time."
The burly man pressed his fingers against his cigarette, exhaling puffs of smoke into the air: "Whether we escape this place happily or are annihilated... it all depends on today."
"I'm more optimistic than you are. After all, dying at the exit is much better than dying in that cage of confinement." The lady was adjusting her dress.
The amusement park's iron gates lead to the outside world, but no one can see outside because the space is completely sealed off by ritual.
"What...are you looking at?"
The middle-aged man noticed the bandaged person standing behind him.
The bandaged man's left eye, visible above the mist, gazed into the fog.
"That guy... hasn't arrived yet."
To be honest, everything we've achieved so far is entirely thanks to Shen Ye. Although the bandaged man's blood pressure nearly exploded several times, he has to admit it.
"I understand," the middle-aged man said softly, "regardless of whether we can get out..."
"That little guy is our savior."
The bandaged man nodded slightly.
He seemed to know the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man had been protecting him, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
"Notice."
"Time is running out."
The middle-aged man's voice slowly drifted over.
The midnight bells were slowly ringing.
Everyone was prepared; they had done everything they could, and a large number of corrupted monsters were under their control, exceeding all limits.
And at this very moment.
The sound of the bells echoed throughout the entire amusement park.
"Click click click".
Mechanical sounds also came from the amusement park's gates.
"They're here."
Everyone peered through the mist at the gap.
"That's the administrator..."
They soon spotted a figure outlined in the mist, dressed in a long robe, slightly hunched... the robe trailing on the ground.
It was just an outline, yet everyone could feel the cold and terrifying aura it carried.
Their gazes held a hint of apprehension, but not fear.
After all, he had been imprisoned in that church and had seen the administrator many times; he was a cruel, insane madman.
But now, it is very respectfully opening the door for another person.
"Is it opening the door for a guest?"
They were imprisoned in the church and had hardly ever seen any guests outside. They had no idea who was making dirty deals with the Black Robes.
But for some reason, they all had a feeling... that this person who appeared might be extraordinary.
And soon.
They also saw a figure slowly appear.
"Only one guest?"
"wrong."
At this moment.
The bandaged man suddenly spoke, his originally hoarse voice now sounding somewhat shrill:
"You can't see it from inside the church, but I've been an employee for so long, so I know..."
"Every time the clock strikes midnight, many guests appear, along with various screams from ordinary people."
He whispered:
"But this time it seems different. There's only one customer... and those people who are treated as commodities haven't shown up either."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up; those present were all intelligent people.
The masked man gripped his knife tighter: "It seems..."
"This time, our product is ours."
"And...you've all sensed it, haven't you?" He looked at the figure being greeted by the administrator: "This guest is definitely not simple."
Regardless.
They have all made any preparations.
The two were heading towards the amusement park when the attendant's hoarse voice echoed through the mist: "Dear guests."
"Those people are all rare gems."
"There are nobles from different organizations and factions, as well as from various worlds..."
It began to introduce them one by one.
With each person introduced, the expressions of the people hidden in the shadows grew increasingly grim; they were being presented to others like commodities.
The key is.
The customer seemed uninterested, his voice calm: "It's... passable."
These organizations seemed insignificant to this guest.
"Then I shall introduce the most important being..." It paused abruptly:
"And there is also His Highness the Crown Prince from the homeland of the gods, one of the twenty most powerful worlds in the World Alliance... the Kingdom of Xiaoyue."
Upon hearing this, the guest's demeanor clearly changed.
"Interesting. I know of this being, but this prince seems to have a congenital condition and has always been protected by layers of security, never appearing in public."
"You Black Robe Society are really... playing a long game, managing to bring in someone like that."
"There's nothing the Black Robe Society can't do if they want to," the administrator rasped.
"Okay, okay."
The guest stretched out his hand: "It seems we can't use our strength freely here."
"There's nothing we can do, these are the rules of the amusement park. Rituals have some restrictions, but pollution is power. If you want, guests, you can use the pollution here." The manager handed over a cane.
"Not interested."
The guest glanced at it once and then looked away.
And at this time.
The administrator suddenly stopped in its tracks, sniffed the air, and seemed to have discovered something.
"What's wrong?"
"like...."
A glint of light flashed in its eyes: "There's a little mouse, oh no..."
This moment.
"kill!"
The peaceful road was shattered by a low shout, followed by a series of loud noises!
A terrifying horde of corrupted monsters, roaring, surged forth from the shadows with astonishing speed, lunging at the two of them!
Its face grew increasingly grim: "So it was a bunch of rats crawling out of the sewers."
