Lu Ban did not rush out, because according to the bizarre rules, he would definitely be dismembered again and put into a trolley.

He chose to go back.

The Teddy Bear was still staring at Feng Yu, and every now and then, Feng Yu would switch his eyes to keep an eye on the Teddy Bear to prevent it from running around or attacking him.

Xiya went to a restaurant for a meal, and night fell.

As night fell, the tourists became more uneasy. Their individual schedules differed, and through conversation, many realized they were in a strange environment.

They tried to make phone calls, but most of the phones were out of service. After all, this was their past selves, yet strangely, it was now the present.

"There are two possible scenarios: one is that we do have attractions we haven't visited yet, and we need to find those attractions to leave safely; the other is that the attractions we visited are just a pretext, and there are other rules in place."

Feng Yu said while staring at the Teddy Bear.

"I think it should be the former, but we also need to summarize a set of rules."

Lu Ban picked up a pen and wrote down some thoughts on a sticky note on the table.

"The Time Worm cannot leave this place. We should at least make sure that the Time Worm cannot leave this eeriness, otherwise, those who have mistakenly entered the Amusement Park may die."

Since the Time Worm can put the Amusement Park into a vicious Loop, Lu Ban believes that binding it here is perfectly fine.

Lu Ban felt that it was happier to stay here and keep riding the Ferris wheel than to die suddenly because of the bizarre rules.

Of course, under certain circumstances, it's always better to be able to leave.

He glanced at the first rule he had written down.

[Rule 1: You must experience all the rides before leaving the Amusement Park]

Next, Lu Ban prepared to add some rules to the Time Worm.

First of all, anyone who encounters the Time Worm will likely mistake it for Teddy Bear and lose interest in it. Therefore, Lu Ban decided to remind these tourists.

[Rule 2: The Teddy Bear in the Amusement Park do not walk. If you see Teddy Bear that is walking, please contact the nearest staff member immediately.]

As Lu Ban wrote this, he thought for a moment. The staff uniforms were of two colors: yellow for ticket booths, rides, and restaurants, and red for those who would stop visitors when leaving the park. Obviously, the staff in red uniforms should be quite dangerous, so this rule should be changed to look for staff wearing yellow uniforms.

Through communication with staff, visitors should then realize that their perception has been affected. In the Amusement Park, the main manifestation of this affected perception is a distorted understanding of the Teddy Bear.

Therefore, Lu Ban wrote down the third point.

[Rule 3: Please make sure the Teddy Bear has a round head, two ears on either side of its head, and is brown and furry. If you see Teddy Bear in the display case that does not look like this, please contact the staff member wearing yellow.]

In addition, since the Time Worm will attack anyone who tries to leave or who notices its unusual behavior, visitors need to keep a low profile and avoid being noticed by the Teddy Bear when they realize that the Teddy Bear looks different from other things.

Lu Ban wrote down the fourth rule.

[Rule 4: The parade performances do not include Teddy Bear shows. If they do, please do not raise any objections and contact the staff member wearing yellow after the show.]

Since images of the Time Worm can cause new Time Worm to appear, taking photos in Amusement Park, especially of Teddy Bear, should be prohibited.

[Rule 5: Please do not take photos with the Teddy Bear. If the Teddy Bear shows an intention to take a photo with you, please delete the photo after taking it. If you encounter special problems and cannot delete the photo, please contact the staff member wearing yellow who is closest to you.]

Sometimes, taking photos may unintentionally capture Teddy Bear in the frame. In such cases, staff need to check and delete the photos promptly.

[Rule 6: When you are about to leave the Amusement Park, ask the staff member in the yellow uniform to check your photos and delete any photos that include the Teddy Bear. You can ask the staff member for compensation.]

Additionally, if visitors encounter staff members dressed in red, it might mean they have reached the edge of the Amusement Park. At this point, the Time Worm may have been bound by other visitors in some other way, making it impossible for them to reset the visitor's time, and thus, the visitor could be in danger.

Therefore, Lu Ban immediately wrote down two rules.

[Rule 7: Staff members wear yellow uniforms. If you see staff members wearing other colors, remain calm and return to the nearest ride.]

[Rule 8: If you encounter a staff member of another color, and they have shown hostility towards you or given you orders, immediately look for a walking Teddy Bear]

Under these two rules, tourists who follow the rules will either return to the Amusement Park to continue playing, or they will be noticed by the Time Worm and have their time stolen; in any case, they will not be torn to pieces.

At this point, Lu Ban realized that there was still one last thing missing: how to leave the Amusement Park.

Having followed these rules, they had essentially brought the Time Worm under control and made contact with the staff in red. They could leave once they completed all the projects, but Lu Ban didn't know what the last project was.

As night deepened, the tourists' panic intensified.

The staff members dressed in yellow were trying to reassure the tourists, behaving no differently than normal people.

Lu Ban stood up, pondering the ultimate purpose of this Amusement Park.

In Horror Cinema, you must follow the viewing rules and watch the entire movie.

So what is the purpose of this Amusement Park?

At this moment, Lu Ban saw that the uneasy tourists were staring at him, including men and women, adults and children.

A blonde girl was holding a cute Teddy Bear and hugging the doll tightly.

"Doll?"

Lu Ban seemed to have caught something.

He approached the girl and asked her.

Where did you get this doll?

Normally, a high school girl wouldn't bring a doll into Amusement Park, especially since the doll she's carrying is Teddy Bear, which is like the Amusement Park's mascot. Even though she thinks it's become a strange creature, she'll definitely remember that she got it from the Amusement Park.

"The souvenir shop is next to the restaurant."

She answered timidly, pointing to the location of the restaurant.

Lu Ban immediately pushed through the crowd and arrived at the restaurant. He saw that there was indeed a souvenir shop next door, where staff in red uniforms were waiting for customers behind the cashier.

"The Amusement Park brochure doesn't mention a souvenir shop, but it is indeed part of the Amusement Park, so you have to buy something here before you can leave?"

Because souvenir shops were so commonplace, Lu Ban subconsciously ignored them.

Besides, people don't necessarily buy anything in the shops when they go to Amusement Park.

Lu Ban walked into the store and saw some Teddy Bear dolls on the shelves. Apart from that, everything else was human limbs, remains, and heads.

He now knows that the staff member in the red uniform was taking him to this souvenir shop, not a restaurant.
