Home Invaded

Seeing a Bumper Car delivered right to them, the five ghost cars opened their mouths wide and came charging over.

He was crazy. Absolutely crazy.

Meng Chengcheng stared in shock, but then she thought it over. There was no way Chen Feng would kill himself, so he had to have a reason for doing this.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After three successive collisions, three ghost cars collapsed to the ground, while the car Chen Feng and Meng Chengcheng were in blared an urgent alarm.

This was the moment to get out and run.

But Chen Feng had no intention of stopping. He floored the accelerator and charged toward the two remaining ghost cars.

Watching the ghost cars retreat in fear as the alarm sounded, Meng Chengcheng suddenly understood.

Of course.

The Bumper Cars arena was only so big. Keeping their car intact while five ghost cars surrounded them was impossible.

They had to find a way to destroy the ghost cars.

The fourth rule had clearly said that a white Bumper Car was extremely dangerous when it exploded.

If it was dangerous to people, why wouldn't it be dangerous to ghost cars?

Why did ghost cars become stunned after a collision? Why was there a countdown before a Bumper Car exploded? Why did the ghost cars back away during that countdown? They were all clues!

"Why are you still sitting there? Run!"

Chen Feng stood, pulled the distracted Meng Chengcheng up, and jumped out of the Bumper Car.

The moment they got clear, an explosion engulfed all the stunned ghost cars nearby.

"Done."

Chen Feng made an OK sign. Just as he had expected, none of the ghost cars caught in the blast woke up again.

"Want to pick one and get in?"

"Uh..."

Meng Chengcheng curled her lip in disgust. The ghost cars' seats were covered in flesh-colored skin, and their steering wheels were organs that looked like hearts. They even beat, and they were coated in slime. The sight made her skin crawl.

"I'll pass. The task's already failed anyway, so Game Coins don't mean much to me now."

"All right, then."

Chen Feng had barely sat down in a ghost car when a system notification sounded in his ear:

[Ding! Congratulations to the user for successfully checking in at the Horror Amusement Park's Bumper Cars attraction]

He'd done it!

Just one more attraction, and he could pocket five system points.

After leaving the Bumper Cars attraction, the two faced a new problem.

They had now cleared every low-difficulty attraction: Goldfish Catching, Air Rifle, Hide-and-Seek, and Bumper Cars.

For the last attraction, should they choose between Dancing and Dressing as a Mascot, both of which had higher death rates, or try that suspicious Ring Toss?

Chen Feng asked Meng Chengcheng, "Can you dance?"

Meng Chengcheng thought for a moment. "Does a shamanic ritual dance count?"

"Probably not."

"Then no."

"If you can't dance, that leaves Dressing as a Mascot."

"Why? Can't we choose Ring Toss?" Meng Chengcheng suggested.

"Didn't you analyze it earlier? Ring Toss might be the hardest attraction. You don't find a sheep mixed in with a pack of wolves."

Chen Feng had been a gaming streamer in his previous life.

So he knew all too well that when you were playing a high-level match in Honor of Kings or League of Legends and an opponent showed up with a cute avatar or name, then picked a mechanically demanding hero with no skin and no mastery, your team was probably doomed.

"That was then. This is now."

Meng Chengcheng couldn't help muttering to herself, With a local monster like you around, what difference does the attraction make?

"And Ring Toss has a zero-percent death rate. You don't want to die here, do you?"

"All right, then."

Chen Feng had no idea where Meng Chengcheng's confidence came from, but he agreed.

Ring Toss was easily the most ramshackle of all the attractions.

Beneath an old, crooked tree, the stallholder had drawn a line in chalk. Plastic rings sat on one side; on the other stood square pet cages, each holding a little white rabbit.

White fur, red eyes, short tails.

Nothing about them looked unusual.

But after what had happened with the goldfish, neither of them underestimated the rabbits.

The stallholder was a giant rabbit as tall as a human. It gnawed on a carrot while holding a wooden board of rules.

The rules were written on the board in red:

[1. Ring a Mr. Rabbit to receive one Game Coin]

[2. Mr. Rabbit is very hungry]

[3. Be good to Mr. Rabbit]

[4. Don't be bad to Mr. Rabbit]

As usual, Chen Feng turned and asked, "Chengcheng, what do you think?"

Meng Chengcheng shook her head. "What a stereotype. Carrots are high in sugar and low in fiber, so they aren't suitable for rabbits. I've kept rabbits before. They prefer hay."

Who asked you about that?

Chen Feng shrugged. "It's a monster. It can eat whatever it wants. At least it isn't gnawing on someone's head."

"I meant, can you analyze why there are only four rules this time?"

A zero-percent death rate, fewer rules... All these oddities made Chen Feng feel that something wasn't right.

Meng Chengcheng declared with complete confidence, "After careful analysis, I don't know."

What are you so proud of?

Chen Feng watched for a while. Every visitor who landed a ring around a cage did indeed receive a Game Coin from the stallholder.

Then the rabbit in that cage vanished.

Where did it go?

Did it go to the visitor's home, or did it turn invisible?

Chen Feng remembered meeting a patient at the Mental Hospital who had said an invisible monster was tormenting him.

Could that have been the so-called Mr. Rabbit?

Chen Feng flicked a ring and easily landed it around a cage.

At the same moment, the cage's lock sprang open. The little white rabbit hopped out, sprinted away, and soon vanished into the night.

Where was it going?

Would it come back to eat?

Chen Feng was baffled. For a moment, he even wondered if he was hallucinating. But when the rabbit stallholder handed him a Game Coin, the system notification sounded:

[Ding! Congratulations to the user for successfully checking in at the Horror Amusement Park's Ring Toss attraction]

[Congratulations to the user for successfully checking in at the Horror Amusement Park. Reward: 5 system points]

That was it?

Chen Feng felt as though he'd just watched a movie with an ending that went nowhere.

Meng Chengcheng had completed Ring Toss too. She cupped her hands around something Chen Feng couldn't see and said, "The bunny's actually pretty cute."

"Huh?"

"You can't see it? I guess everyone can only see their own rabbit."

That proved Chen Feng's guess right: only a Mr. Rabbit's owner could see it.

The problem was, everyone else's rabbit stayed by their side. His had run off.

Did the sheer power of my stinky feet scare it away?

Chen Feng gave a self-mocking laugh. "We can leave now."

"Yeah, let's get going... Ah!"

Meng Chengcheng's expression changed, and she cried out.

Chen Feng looked closely and saw a wound appear on her arm.

"It—it—it's biting me!" Meng Chengcheng exclaimed.

"Rule two: Mr. Rabbit is very hungry," Chen Feng murmured. "Are we supposed to feed Mr. Rabbit our own flesh and blood?"

No wonder the visitors who had played Ring Toss all looked so pale.

But why had his rabbit run off?

No way.

That's impossible. Absolutely impossible!

A terrifying possibility suddenly struck Chen Feng. "Chengcheng, something urgent came up. I need to go back to my room."

With that, he sprinted toward the inn.

Bang.

Chen Feng had just shut his room door when an Incarnation System warning sounded in his ear:

[Warning! Your original body is under attack]

Happiness Internet Cafe, second-floor staff dormitory.

A wave of pain hit Chen Feng. He opened his eyes and found a white rabbit gnawing on his face!!!
