Candy is Only for Good Children

"The game is over." His voice was as light as a whisper.

The silver scissors drew four intersecting, beautiful, and cruel arcs in the moonlight.

There were no screams, no struggles.

Their figures vanished into the air, leaving only wisps of black smoke, which were then dispersed by the night wind.

Qin Feng flipped his wrist, and the Scissors of Truth transformed into a tattoo and disappeared.

He glanced at the numbers flickering on the system panel, his face impassive, as if he had merely swatted four buzzing mosquitoes.

As the E-Class minor Anomalous Events perished, the entire "Doll Island" underwent a transformation.

The colorful neon lights flickered and died out with a "zzzzzt."

The cheerful music box melody turned into a harsh metallic grinding, then fell into dead silence.

The carousel horses lay toppled, covered in moss and mildew;

Vines crawled all over the hull of the pirate ship, leaving only a rusted skeleton;

The Ferris wheel in the distance was stationary against the night sky, like a giant, silent steel skeleton.

The entire amusement park finally revealed its true, dilapidated appearance after more than a decade of abandonment.

The only place still lit was a small, Gothic-style castle deep within the park.

A faint, flickering red light seeped from the second-floor window of the castle, like an eye peering in the darkness.

All remaining resentment flowed towards the castle like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.

"Finally found the main culprit." Qin Feng twisted his neck, producing a crisp "crack."

He took out the bottle of happy water for otaku from his pocket, unscrewed it, took a large gulp, and then let out a loud burp.

"Tsk, the warm-up is over. Time to meet today's VIP client."

He hummed a tuneless ditty and strode towards the eerie castle, his steps as light as if he were going to a party.

The castle gate was ajar. The door was carved with reliefs of bears and rabbits, but creepily, they only had half a face.

Qin Feng pushed the door open, and a strong smell, mixed with the scent of blood, hit him.

The interior of the castle was not large; it resembled a giant children's room.

Yellowed cartoon wallpaper adorned the walls, and various toys were scattered on the floor: teddy bears with missing eyes, Barbie dolls with broken legs, and a rocking horse swaying gently in a corner.

"Creeeak... creeeak..."

The only sounds in the entire space were the rocking of the wooden horse and a faint, almost imperceptible humming of a girl. The tune was innocent and cheerful, yet it made one's scalp tingle.

Qin Feng surveyed the room, pursed his lips, and his voice, though not loud, clearly broke the eerie silence.

"The decor is too deliberate, one star.

A typical 'haunted children's room' template, completely unoriginal.

And this background music, can you change it?

You guys have overused 'Little White Boat'."

As his voice fell, the humming stopped abruptly.

The rocking horse in the corner also stopped with a "creak."

The entire castle plunged into deathly silence.

An icy, bone-chilling malice poured down from the second-floor staircase. This malice carried a tangible pressure, making the air thick. The cartoon wallpaper on the walls, the eyes of the animals, began to ooze thick, black liquid.

Qin Feng, however, acted as if he felt nothing. He casually walked up to the rocking horse and flicked its chipped ear with his finger.

"And these toys, they all need to be cleaned.

Too much dust, breeds bacteria easily, bad for children's respiratory tracts.

Have you paid the property management fees? Such poor hygiene management, I'll report you."

"You..." A cold, childish voice, filled with grievance and anger, came from the stairs.

Qin Feng looked up and saw a little girl in a red dress standing barefoot at the turn of the stairs.

She looked no older than seven or eight, her skin as pale as porcelain, her disproportionately large black eyes staring fixedly at Qin Feng, devoid of any childlike innocence, filled only with a dead, empty void.

The moment his gaze met the little girl's, the system notification rang out!

③ "Loneliness" and "rage" are the sources of her power. Beware of her "gaze."]

"Oh? Are you the big sister here?" Qin Feng looked at her, a kind smile on his face, like a friendly neighbor.

The little girl in red tilted her head. "You smell... unpleasant. Not like my friends, they are very obedient."

"You mean those temporary workers with exaggerated acting skills and unqualified business capabilities?" Qin Feng said matter-of-factly, "Of course, they were dismissed. They severely affected the customer experience and would only ruin the reputation of your amusement park if kept."

"You...!" The air around the little girl's body began to distort. The eyes on the cartoon wallpaper, dripping black blood, all turned to Qin Feng.

"Stop with the 'you, you, you'," Qin Feng interrupted her. He slowly took out the lollipop from his pocket, tore off the wrapper, and waved it in front of the little girl.

"Big brother is here today to bring you warmth," he said, his tone as gentle as if coaxing his own sister. "But, candy can only be eaten by good children."

He paused, his eyes becoming playful, and pointed to the messy environment around them.

"Look at you, making this place a mess.

Not cleaning up, indulging employees in slacking off, and scaring guests.

These are not things a good child would do."

"I want you... to play with me!" The little girl in red's patience finally ran out. She let out an inhuman shriek!

The entire castle shook violently. The scattered toys on the ground seemed to come alive, making "crunching" sounds as they "stood" up from the floor.

The teddy bear with missing eyes swung its claws, and cracks split open on the Barbie doll's face, revealing a dark abyss within.

They took stiff steps, surrounding Qin Feng from all directions.

A powerful mental pressure descended, attempting to evoke the deepest sense of abandonment and the desperate fear of facing countless monsters within Qin Feng's heart.

However, Qin Feng merely glanced at the "living" toys before looking back at the little girl with the expression of an idiot.

"Is that all?" He popped the lollipop into his mouth, mumbling, "The game rules are too cliché.

'Toy Story'? Little sister, that IP is long outdated, it's time for some new tricks."

"I can play with you," a wicked and dangerous curve formed on Qin Feng's lips. "But, it has to be by my rules."

He held up two fingers.

"First, we're not playing hide-and-seek, we're playing 'violent demolition'."

"Second..." His gaze suddenly turned icy, as if scrutinizing an item about to be liquidated. "The loser will be locked in the dark room forever."

The moment his words fell, he stopped wasting time. The scissor tattoo on his right arm suddenly lit up with a dazzling silver light!

At the same time, the tattoo of an old-fashioned rotary dial telephone on his left wrist also began to emit an ominous, abyss-like chilling aura!

He looked at the little girl, her face contorted with rage, the lollipop in his mouth, his smile as bright as a devil's.

"Come on, little sister, choose one."

"Do you want to be cut into pieces first, or do you want to hear... the 'bedtime story' I've prepared for you first?"
