The video had been edited. The next shot showed the inside of the water park.
The crowds milled about, and the people in the huge pool looked like colorful dumplings, churning up wave after wave and splashing water everywhere.
Screams came from the distance, along with the rumble of rushing water.
The camera panned from left to right. There were only people in the shot—no blood, no monsters.
"Let's go to the giant octopus first," Liu Miao said.
The camera followed as they moved, stopping behind a long line.
The video switched again. In the next second, they were on a raised platform.
"Sir, you can't take that handheld camera up there. The force is strong when you slide down, and it could be dangerous." A staff member wearing a T-shirt with the park's name printed on it reached out to block the lens.
"I can tie it on."
The camera shook, then tilted down, capturing a dark entrance.
Liu Miao seemed to be explaining something to the staff member, and the camera kept wobbling.
"Then make sure it's secured. We won't be responsible if it slips out of your hands and something happens. We have a notice posted here. Also, if it gets damaged, we won't compensate you. If you damage the equipment, we'll charge you for it."
"Okay," Liu Miao agreed.
The camera shook again, and the image switched to night vision.
In the green glow, the dark tunnel revealed what lay inside.
A spray nozzle was installed at the entrance, and water flowed constantly through the tunnel.
A staff member brought over an oval inflatable raft that could seat four people.
"How much do you all weigh? If you're too light, this won't work," the staff member said.
The video became somewhat chaotic.
