461. You Must Play Every Attraction

The Pale humanoid creature's head had countless eyeballs that seemed to contain gears and clockwork markings. Its mouthparts were long and thin like a butterfly, greedily trying to suck the brains of the three people. Lu Ban could even see some grayish-white smoke rising from Xiya and Feng Yu, being absorbed by it.

But everything froze at that moment.

Of course, Lu Ban doesn't have the invincible ability to stop time; he's just an ordinary person.

"If we just keep watching it, it won't attack us, right?"

Lu Ban asked, staring intently at the "Teddy Bear" without looking away or even blinking.

"This is the Time Worm's self-protection mechanism. Because it is not the strongest creature in the alien world, and its combat power is even relatively weak, it has evolved this disguise in order to protect itself."

Feng Yu also looked at the Time Worm. Although in her eyes it was a Teddy Bear, after Lu Ban's reminder, she quickly accepted the concept that the "Teddy Bear" she was seeing now were all Time Worm.

"Can we defeat them directly with spells or some other method?"

Xiya raised her hand, preparing to cast a spell.

"You can try, but my answer is no."

Feng Yu replied.

The next moment, Xiya threw out an Explosion spell.

The invisible magic struck the Teddy Bear, but then passed through it and flew into the sky, finally emitting a loud bang, causing many tourists to turn around and look.

The Teddy Bear tilted its head, looking quite puzzled.

"Don't blink. If we blink at the same time, it will immediately steal our time and send us back to the past."

Feng Yu reminded him.

At the same time, her physical form changed.

She raised her left hand, and an eye appeared in her palm. Countless tentacles grew around the eye, extending infinitely to the side, making those who saw it shudder and unable to suppress the fear that arose in their hearts.

Lu Ban noticed something: the eyes had no eyelids.

This means that it doesn't blink.

Feng Yu stared intently at the Teddy Bear with the eye in the palm of his left hand, while simultaneously moving Xiya and Lu Ban slightly away.

"When being watched, the Time Worm cannot be harmed, nor can it cause harm. At this moment, it is floating in the gap of time, always existing just before you launch an attack, so it cannot be attacked by you. Therefore, it naturally has no moment to be attacked by you. The time they steal is used to do this."

She explained briefly, while keeping her eyes fixed on the Teddy Bear and turning her head to look around.

"We now face two problems. First, are there any other Time Worm in the Amusement Park? If so, we need to be wary of their attacks. Second, why are these Time Worm still here instead of leaving?"

"What's the meaning?"

While searching for other Teddy Bear, Xiya was puzzled by Feng Yu's second question.

"The Time Worm has two characteristics. What I just mentioned is its first characteristic. It also has a second characteristic."

Feng Yu didn't find a second Teddy Bear. She and Lu Ban exchanged a glance to confirm that there were no other Time Worm present, and then she spoke.

"The second characteristic of the Time Worm is that anything that reflects the Time Worm for a long time will give birth to a new Time Worm."

"Does this mean that if we stare at the Time Worm for a long time, new Time Worm will appear on our eyes?"

Lu Ban hurriedly glanced at the person next to him and washed his eyes.

"Yes, and images and pictures can have the same effect, so it's best not to take pictures of the Time Worm."

Feng Yu nodded. At the same time, she raised her right hand, and the same eye appeared in her palm, staring at the Time Worm, while the eye in her left hand retracted.

"This is a form of pollution, and also a way for the Time Worm to increase their companions. That's why most creatures in the alien realm don't choose to be hostile to the Time Worm or try to exterminate Time Worm. Firstly, because these creatures at most steal some time, which is harmless to most creatures. As long as they don't encounter a swarm of worms, they'll only become a few years younger, which ordinary humans wouldn't even notice. Secondly, because of this characteristic of the Time Worm, they are difficult to kill."

"So the problem now is that the Time Worm doesn't need to stay in this Amusement Park. It could easily take a portion of the visitors' time and then leave. There must be another reason why it stays here."

On Feng Yu's shoulder, fleshy buds extended from his neck, their ends resembling flowers and fruit, with tentacles surrounding his eyeballs as they stared at the Teddy Bear.

"Indeed, if it were only the Time Worm, they would be monsters from another world, not an anomaly of this world, and we wouldn't need to know all the rules of the Amusement Park."

As Lu Ban muttered to himself, he suddenly felt something.

"Is it possible that this Amusement Park is truly eerie, and the Time Worm is trapped here by this eerie phenomenon?"

"Possibly."

Feng Yu nodded.

"The bizarre is a manifestation of the rules. The Time Worm cannot steal the bizarre time. It is trapped in the Amusement Park and cannot leave. It can only keep stealing the time of the visitors here."

"We can try leaving the Amusement Park while looking at the Teddy Bear, which would rule out the possibility of the Time Worm stealing our time."

Lu Ban proposed the method of controlling variables.

He left Xiya behind and walked towards the Amusement Park exit.

As Lu Ban approached the exit, he saw a staff member in a red uniform walking towards him.

"Hello, are you leaving the Amusement Park?"

The other party inquired and found that he was an ordinary-looking man, so ordinary that he would be easily forgotten.

"Yes."

Lu Ban answered, while observing the person's surroundings.

"I see you haven't tried all the attractions in our Amusement Park. Would you like to try them all before leaving?"

The staff member in red asked politely.

"All the projects?"

Lu Ban thought about it and realized that they hadn't actually visited all the attractions.

"I don't plan to do any other activities; I'm going straight home."

He spoke frankly.

"It would be very distressing for us if you, our guest, didn't experience all the attractions."

The staff member in red said with a smile.

"I'm sorry, I don't have that plan."

As Lu Ban spoke, he walked past the staff in red uniforms and headed towards the Amusement Park's main entrance.

The next moment, Lu Ban felt a strong sense of crisis. He only had time to materialize Silver Pen and write the word "Undying" on himself before his brain trembled, and his whole body disintegrated into scattered flesh and blood, falling to the ground.

The staff member in red looked at "Lu Ban," then somehow produced a cart, collected Lu Ban's flesh and blood, swept it into the cart, and then, humming the Amusement Park's theme song, walked towards the restaurant.
