Chapter 186: Chapter 186 Midnight Amusement Park_1

Xiyu was just about to speak when Wu Qiyi turned to her and said, "Xiyu, you stay in the room and watch over Zhao’er."

Following Wu Qiyi’s suggestion, you couldn’t help but glance at Zhao’er, who was engrossed in watching a cartoon, showing no interest in your conversation whatsoever.

Xiyu looked at you and Wu Qiyi, said nothing further, and nodded slightly.

Among the people you knew, if you had to choose the one person most worthy of your trust, you would probably pick Xiyu.

If there had to be a reason, it would probably be a feeling that couldn’t be neatly explained.

Even though you hadn’t spent much time with Xiyu and didn’t know her well, you felt that she was definitely someone who, once she made a promise, would take it seriously and carry out her responsibilities to the end.

She always did things meticulously and was beyond reproach.

Of course, such a girl is best to have as a friend; if she were to become your girlfriend, ho ho, hardship would likely follow, as nobody would want to be bossed around for life by a girlfriend who is meticulous in everything.

Seeing Xiyu agree, you, Yang Kai, Wu Qiyi, and Yin Guihua, the four of you, left the room.

"Ah!"

Yin Guihua was the first to walk out the door, letting out a startled yelp as she did so.

"What happened?"

You and Yang Kai quickly followed, only to find an old woman standing by the door.

"Old lady, why didn’t you say anything standing at the door? You just scared me to death," Yin Guihua said, patting her chest, a look of annoyance on her face.

The old woman glanced at the four of you and said in a strange tone, "Young people, don’t be too curious. Sometimes, disaster begins with excessive curiosity."

After speaking, the old woman didn’t wait for your reaction and slowly walked away.

The words of the old woman only made you all the more curious.

Yang turned his head to you and asked, "Old Shu, did you notice whether that old lady was human or a ghost just now?"

"Human," you replied, looking at the old woman’s retreating figure with a slight frown, "but she’s not ordinary; she has Ghost Qi about her."

"Ghost Qi?"

"What is Ghost Qi?" Yin Guihua asked. "Does it mean the old lady is possessed by a ghost?"

"No, Ghost Qi is not directly related to ghosts. The term is complicated to explain and can’t be clarified in a few words. To put it broadly, among us living people, a very small number are appointed tasks between the yin and yang realms. These people carry a type of Ghost Qi, which is a symbol of their status. The stronger the Ghost Qi, the higher the person’s position and abilities.

Wu Qiyi shifted her gaze from where the old woman had disappeared and asked, "Is the old woman’s Ghost Qi very strong?"

"No, on the contrary, it’s quite weak. It seems her position isn’t very high. However, since she went out of her way to warn us, that makes me even more eager to go out and see for myself."

"Exactly, that’s the spirit expected of our Detective Agency’s boss."

Yang’s flattery came promptly.

"Alright, enough talk, let’s go."

The four of you quickly went downstairs, but to your surprise, you encountered the old woman again at the entrance to the corridor.

She squinted at you as you descended the stairs, and at the end, she shook her head slightly and turned to walk slowly into the darkness.

"Are you going out?"

The young girl at the front desk saw the four of you getting ready to leave and couldn’t help but ask.

"Yes, we’re going to the nearby supermarket to buy some snacks."

"Then make sure you go and come back early."

"Don’t worry, we won’t wander off," you assured.

With that, the four of you left the hotel and walked onto the deserted streets.

There were hardly any pedestrians on the streets, and those few who were hurried along.

The amusement park was close to the hotel, just a short walk away, but what surprised you was that the gates were wide open.

Yang Kai scratched his head and said, "Strange, when I looked down here from upstairs just now, the gates were closed. How come they are open all of a sudden?"

"Hey, look, the lights in the guard room are off. Let’s go in."

"Wait a second." You reached out and grabbed Yang Kai’s shoulder, opened your Sen Luo Eye, and scanned the amusement park in front of you, "It’s strange, there’s not a trace of Ghost Qi here, yet I have a very bad feeling inside."

"Hehe, don’t make it sound so mystical. You’re just a bit scared, that’s all,"

Yin Guihua, that silly girl, actually tried to provoke you with reverse psychology.

You shrugged it off with a smile.

But in the end, you all went in.

Once inside, it seemed no different from an ordinary amusement park, the only difference being the equipment was old and built for little kids, like bumper cars, merry-go-rounds, and the like.

The amusement park wasn’t large, and you quickly made a round and finally stopped in front of the horror house that Sister Guihua had mentioned earlier.

Looking at the so-called horror house that wasn’t even a hundred square meters, Yang Kai turned to Yin Guihua with a smile, "Sister Guihua, are you kidding me?"

"Strange, it seemed so much bigger when I was a kid. Why does it look so small now?" Yin Guihua looked around confused, "Back then, I thought it was so scary. I had to drag Fan Yi to go in. She didn’t know what fear was and just walked straight in. If she hadn’t led the way, I could never have made it through."

"A child’s worldview has yet to form, so they naturally fear many unknown things. This horror house has always been like this; it’s just that you’ve grown up."

"Is that so," Yin Guihua sighed lightly, "Seems like there’s nothing fun here. Let’s go back."

"Wait a second, keep quiet for a moment."

You spoke up urgently, and once all four were silent, you seemed to hear a strange noise.

"Hey, did you hear that? What’s that sound?"

Yang Kai whispered, "Sounds like a lot of people are tap dancing, but not quite. It’s a bit distant, can’t make it out clearly."

"It must be the sound of horseshoes, along with the noise of soldiers moving in armor," Wu Qiyi pinpointed accurately. She always had a keen observation, and she turned her gaze towards the southwest direction, "The noise is coming from over there, and it sounds like it’s heading this way."

It’s getting closer!

The sound drew nearer and nearer!

"Let’s go out and see!"

Yang Kai thought it might be some kind of park festival and said with a laugh.

"Hold on, don’t move!"

You quickly reached out and grabbed Yang Kai’s hand while also looking up, and then the four of you noticed that the moon, which had been clear before, now turned into a blood red moon!

"What’s going on?" Yin Guihua too noticed the unusual atmosphere.

"Old Shu, if the moon has turned this color, shouldn’t it be visible all over the country?"

As he spoke, Yang Kai took out his phone and tried to take a picture of the sky, but captured nothing. The photo was pitch black.

"My latest Apple 9S here, usually it takes very clear pictures even of the moon’s surface. Why can’t it capture anything today?"

"Alright, no more talking, they’re here!"
