"Hmm? But..."
Le Gu Nan suddenly turned her head, her lips trembling slightly, but she swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
"Let's forget about it, after all, we're still on a mission."
"I know I'm on a mission, but don't worry, it won't have any impact." Shen Heng looked calmly at Le Gu Nan.
" The Golden Rat Golden Rat sleeping now and won't move for a while, and I'll keep a close eye on it."
"But..." Le Gu Nan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but Shen Heng had already opened the car door and gotten out.
"Alright, let's go together. I've never been before either," Shen Heng said, looking at Le Gu Nan, who was still sitting in the passenger seat.
Le Gu Nan looked at Shen Heng, hesitated for a moment, and then got out of the car.
The two walked towards the amusement park gate.
Throughout the journey, Le Gu Nan kept his head down, seemingly lost in thought.
They stayed inside until the two bought tickets.
"That..."
"What?" Shen Heng turned to look at Le Gu Nan.
"Is it true that you've never been to an amusement park before?" Le Gu Nan asked softly.
Are you struggling with this?... Shen Heng looked at Le Gu Nan and chuckled:
"What, did you think I was lying to you?"
"No," Le Gu Nan quickly shook his head, "It's just that you don't seem like the kind of person who would want to come to a place like this."
"Hmm..." Shen Heng turned his head and glanced around the amusement park. "Indeed, if you had let me come alone, I probably wouldn't have come in."
"After all, although I've never been here, there are many things in the world that you don't have to experience to know them all."
"However, since you're here and haven't been before, it would be nice to experience it together."
"So..."
Shen Heng paused here, then looked at Le Gu Nan Road again:
"You don't need to feel too much pressure; coming here isn't entirely because of you."
Le Gu Nan paused for a moment, then said softly:
"Thanks!"
Shen Heng smiled and didn't seem to mind.
The two of them went inside with the map provided at the ticket office.
Facing you is an area that simulates a fairytale forest.
A giant treehouse, life-size hippo-like dolls, and a crystal ball showcasing the dolls' adventures.
Shen Heng glanced at the structure inside the treehouse, then walked with Le Gu Nan to the crystal ball to examine it.
A moment later, as the animation on the crystal ball played, Le Gu Nan said softly:
" Moomin."
"You know him?" Shen Heng glanced at Le Gu Nan, who was leaning slightly forward.
"Yes, my mom read it to me when I was little. It's from the classic fairy tale ' The Tales from Moominvalley '." Le Gu Nan nodded gently.
What are they talking about?
"It mainly tells the story of the Moomin family, their adventures with friends of different personalities, and their welcoming of visitors," Le Gu Nan summarized simply.
Is the main character Moomin?
"Um."
"Then why is it called ' The Tales from Moominvalley '?"
"Because..."
The two watched for a while longer before leaving the treehouse.
"Where to next?" Shen Heng spread out the map.
After looking at him for a while, Le Gu Nan finally turned his gaze to Shen Heng.
It's your decision!
Shen Heng glanced at Le Gu Nan.
Although he's inside, Le Gu Nan doesn't seem to be letting go. If he were to...
Shen Heng slowly turned his head, his gaze following the sound of the scream into the distance.
There, a huge pirate ship was rocking violently.
Twenty minutes later, the two boarded the pirate ship.
Shen Heng glanced at Le Gu Nan beside him and saw that she looked a little nervous, her slender fingers gripping the armrest tightly.
Turning his gaze away, Shen Heng pondered what to have for lunch.
There are quite a few food vendors in the amusement park, but...
"Bite--"
The alarm bell rang.
Shen Heng snapped out of his thoughts, and then felt the pirate ship beneath him slowly begin to move.
At first, it only swayed slightly, as if it were really sailing on the sea.
But soon, accompanied by the roar of gears, the pirate ship's swing became wider and wider...
"Waaaaaah--!"
Screams mingled with laughter echoed across the pirate ship.
The pirate ship was placed higher and higher.
A sudden wave of weightlessness washed over me, making my heart feel like it was floating.
Facing the fierce wind, Shen Heng squinted slightly, feeling the weightlessness in his body.
Hmm... although the speed was just average, the experience was still quite unique.
Shen Heng pondered for a moment, then, after confirming that the Golden Rat was still asleep, he turned to look at Le Gu Nan.
The girl's eyes were slightly open, her hands gripping the handrail tightly, the wind blowing her short hair backward.
The unique feeling of weightlessness and the frantic screams of others around her seemed to immerse her somewhat, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on her lips.
She opened her mouth slightly and spoke softly.
"Ah--"
After calling out softly, Le Gu Nan seemed to remember something, and she quickly turned her head to look to the side.
What came into view was a young man smiling at him.
Le Gu Nan's face flushed red instantly. She hurriedly tried to explain, but the young man had already turned his head away.
"Ah--"
Shouts rang out from the pirate ship.
Le Gu Nan sat quietly in his seat, staring blankly at the young man shouting beside him.
Half a day later.
Two figures carrying grilled sausages walked along the path in the amusement park.
Shen Heng took a bite of the grilled sausage, listening to the even breathing around him, while pondering which activity to go on next.
The two enjoyed several rides during the half-day, including the teacups, roller coaster, bumper cars, and shooting range.
Le Gu Nan also gradually opened up after initially being reserved.
but...
If it were a regular person coming to play, the thrill would probably be even greater, right?
Swallowing the grilled sausage in his mouth, Shen Heng's mind wandered.
The rides in the amusement park were too slow for them, who were only Tier 3 martial artists, and they didn't pose any danger.
After all, even if the facilities malfunction, the two of them will be fine.
Unless the roller coaster suddenly derails at its top speed and crashes straight into you, and you don't dodge.
Just then, a whisper came from the side.
"This hospital has been abandoned for almost 20 years..."
The two turned to look.
A person wearing a doctor's coat stained with red paint was standing in front of an abandoned hospital.
"Could you help me go inside and take a look? See what's going on inside?"
Shen Heng glanced at the staff of the haunted house, then looked at Le Gu Nan, wanting to see if she wanted to go in.
However, Shen Heng was slightly taken aback the next moment.
Le Gu Nan stood there, his body slightly tense, and his breathing involuntarily quickened a little.
Hmm, Le Gu Nan seems to be afraid of ghosts... Shen Heng remembered.
When Le Gu Nan first joined the team, Han Ling wasn't around, so she would go to her place every night, because the Supervision Bureau was too big and felt too empty.
Shen Heng ignored the staff and planned to leave.
Seeing this, the staff quickly tried to persuade him to stay:
"Wait, have you guys heard of the Guinness World Records?"
Shen Heng paused, glancing with some surprise at the abandoned hospital building behind the staff member, before turning his gaze back to the staff member.
"You guys even made it into the Guinness World Records?"
The staff member straightened his chest and said:
"No, but we went to learn from a haunted house that's in the Guinness World Records."
