Chapter 310 Haicheng Evening News
The feeling of being the only one with eyes open was not pleasant. They had been ascending for who knew how long, but the cabin where Chen Yu and his group were located remained steady, without any strange noises or swaying.
The one in front, however, suddenly sank; the steel cable snapped, and it plummeted down.
Hearing the sound near their ears, the three women dared not open their eyes even more.
"Brother Chen Yu! Are we alright!" Wang Mengmeng asked.
Chen Yu nodded: "We have already started to descend."
Until a few minutes later, the cabin landed, and a crowd of people left in a swarm.
Chen Yu scanned them briefly and confirmed that the number of people had decreased; he estimated... two more teams were gone.
[ Ferris Wheel · Ride Ended ]
[ This facility carried a total of 20 passengers, 13 survived ]
[ Next facility — — ]
[ Haunted House ]
[ Will open promptly at 23:00 tonight. Please arrive at the facility entrance in advance, do not be late ]
[ Currently, it is free exploration time. Supply crates have been placed in the amusement park; passengers can search for food, drinking water, medical supplies, and other materials on their own ]
[ Amusement Park Rules reiterated: Do not damage amusement facilities; do not enter facility areas when they are not open; try not to wander near the Haunted House ]
"The Haunted House is tonight, but we are still missing four pieces of evidence of the old days..." Chen Yu had just gotten off the Ferris Wheel and already memorized the whereabouts of these teams.
The first target was the Flyer.
The Flyer was squatting beside a bench, communicating with a few teammates. The red-haired man's peripheral vision caught that black shadow, his expression changed, and he quickly reported it.
"My legs are light, my steps are nimble, I dodge quickly, you can't catch my shadow."
"My reactions are fast, my movement techniques are strange..." The Flyer muttered incessantly.
Chen Yu stood still in front of him: "Stop stacking, no matter how much you stack, you can't outrun me."
The Flyer squeezed out a fake smile: "Brother Chen Yu, it's a misunderstanding, I didn't mean to run..."
Chen Yu went straight to the point: "I know you have evidence of the old days."
As soon as these words were spoken, even the three women were a bit bewildered.
The Flyer was stunned, exchanged glances with a few of his underlings, and then coughed: "Brother Chen Yu, what are you saying?"
Chen Yu stared at his face, then shook his head: "Never mind." After saying that, he turned and left.
Only at this moment did the three women realize what Chen Yu was doing.
Wang Mengmeng trotted to catch up, lowering her voice: "Brother Chen Yu, were you bluffing them?"
"Yeah, just trying it out." Chen Yu admitted frankly: "A whole day has passed; if we can find three, surely other teams can find them too, or even have received the same task..."
Zuo Shi said softly from behind: "That's right, next one."
The Worker team's resting spot was under a patch of shade to the northwest of the Ferris Wheel. Only three men remained. The captain, Zhao Tieshan, was sitting on a rock, shirtless, with a tank top draped over his shoulder. He was wiping an iron pipe in his hand with a rag. Beside him, several workers were squatting; some were drinking water, others were gnawing on compressed biscuits.
When Chen Yu approached, Zhao Tieshan's hand wiping the iron pipe paused, but he did not look up and continued wiping, stroke by stroke.
Chen Yu stopped in front of them: "I know you have evidence of the old days."
As the captain, Zhao Tieshan showed no reaction, but the young man squatting to his left suddenly squeezed the mineral water bottle in his hand, causing water to squirt out from the bottle mouth, splashing all over his hand. He hissed, quickly put the bottle down, and wiped his hand messily on his pant leg.
"Oh, it seems I guessed right." Chen Yu chuckled, "So, where is the evidence of the old days?"
Zhao Tieshan frowned: "Friend, I don't know what you are talking about..."
Wang Mengmeng snorted coldly, "Can you stop acting? You're only wiping one spot on the iron pipe? It's already shiny!"
"What does it have to do with you? It's my weapon; I'll wipe it however I want!" Zhao Tieshan narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.
Chen Yu did not press the issue; he extended his right hand, and within his palm, a ghost head blade appeared. The purple patterns on the blade glowed faintly.
"My name is Chen Yu, my Talent is invincible. Give me the evidence of the old days within three seconds, and I can spare your lives."
Zhao Tieshan's pupils shrank sharply. The young man next to him was stunned: "Chen Yu? Are you... that Chen Yu from the Baby Bus?"
Zhao Tieshan slapped him on the back of the head, his expression shifting from stiff to a fawning smile.
"Brother Chen Yu, you should have said so earlier! If you had said earlier that you were Chen Yu from the Baby Bus, how would we dare to act! Isn't it just evidence of the old days? We do indeed have one... Hahaha..." The final smile was a bit fake, but it didn't matter.
He took a neatly folded old newspaper from his personal backpack and handed it over with both hands. "This was found in a newspaper shop; it was the only newspaper left in the shop."
Chen Yu took the newspaper and unfolded it. "Haicheng Evening News", July 1, 1998. Front-page headline——Accident on the first day of Carnival Park opening, a young girl fell from a swing.
[ Key clue detected: Haicheng Evening News ]
[ Hidden task "Cage of Memories" activated ]
[ Task goal: Collect seven pieces of evidence of the old days (4 / 7) ]
[ Task reward: Xiaoguang's doll ]
Chen Yu scanned the content; there was no important information, so he folded it up and put it into his backpack.
Zhao Tieshan took a step back, then another, "Brother Chen Yu, we've said what we needed to say, and we've given what we needed to give..."
Chen Yu nodded: "Mm, you did well."
Suddenly, a bag of crayfish appeared in Chen Yu's hand, and he tossed it to Zhao Tieshan. Zhao Tieshan caught it, looked down, and saw bright red crayfish shells squeezed together inside the transparent bag, quite large in size. His mouth curled up, and he patted the bag: "Thank you, Brother Chen Yu!"
Chen Yu nodded: "If you can find more evidence of the old days, I will give you ten times the amount of crayfish..." After saying this, Chen Yu had already left with Wang Mengmeng and the other three women.
Zhao Tieshan stood in place, clutching the bag of crayfish in his hand, his smile gradually fading. The young man beside him looked at him, then at Chen Yu's retreating figure. "Brother Zhao, I'm sorry... I was too panicked just now... If it weren't for me, I guess we wouldn't have been discovered..."
Zhao Tieshan sighed softly: "Whether you were panicked or not, the newspaper had to be handed over; the other party is ranked third on the highway."
The middle-aged worker who had been silent suddenly spoke: "It is impossible for Chen Yu to have this kind of energy fluctuation; in my eyes, he is only S-rank, unless, he can hide his energy?"
Zhao Tieshan narrowed his eyes: "You suspect he is an impostor?"
The middle-aged worker shook his head: "Whether he is an impostor or not, I don't know, but I know we have no right to ask for the newspaper back."
The young man frowned: "Brother Wang, why?"
The middle-aged worker gave a bitter smile: "The energy emitted by that blade alone is enough to make one feel hopeless."
