Chapter 449: Chapter 300: Wanting Us to Die (8000-word goal achieved!)_2

Beichuan Si shook his head, "No, it’s not about the money."

He thought for a while and still explained a bit to Gongben Naoki, "Firstly, Miss Gongben, you need to calmly think. It’s been over a year today since your sister disappeared. Can a normal person survive without food or water in Jishi Park up until now? Conversely, if Miss Other Shore Flower were still alive in this world, wouldn’t she call you or seek help?"

Gongben Naoki’s arms trembled. She covered her lovely and cute face and said in an extremely painful tone, "Actually, Mr. Beichuan, I have thought about everything you said. But unless I see it with my own eyes, I will absolutely not believe it."

Mom and Dad were both crying.

Buried in the grave were her sister’s favorite trinkets... Not even her body was found.

Why didn’t she stop her sister back then?

Gongben Naoki was full of guilt. Living to this day, she had always been investigating Jishi Park.

She kept chasing her sister’s shadow... wanting to uncover what exactly had happened back then.

Once, inadvertently, Gongben Naoki found Beichuan Si’s urban legend ghost stories homepage, and the realism convinced her in an instant.

This blogger encountered things that were real.

Could this blogger find something in Jishi Park?

She had also left messages on Beichuan Si’s homepage and even privately messaged him.

But she had never received a reply.

Time passed quickly, and this matter faded, until today when Beichuan Si appeared before her...

Looking at her half-kneeling on the ground, covering her face with her hands, sobbing repeatedly, Beichuan Si also shook his head.

No matter what Gongben Naoki said, his goal would not change.

It might seem unkind, but everything relied on the precondition of surviving.

That was the most crucial thing.

For Beichuan Si to exert the extra energy to search for Gongben Naoki’s sister, whose chances of survival were zero—to be frank, that would be taking other people’s lives too lightly.

"No matter what... it’s not possible?"

Gongben Naoki moved her palms away, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at Beichuan Si.

"Sorry, I am powerless to help at the moment."

Beichuan Si’s attitude remained as firm as ever.

"...I understand. I’m really sorry for troubling you so suddenly," Gongben Naoki said with a heartbroken shake of her head.

She actually understood Beichuan Si’s considerations, but just now, the emotions surged and she simply couldn’t control herself.

"It’s best if you can understand, but I can also make you a promise. If there is any trace that your sister survived, I will do my utmost to help you find her, how does that sound?"

"Thank you so much!" Gongben Naoki nodded desperately, speaking with a sob in her voice, "Thank you! I really appreciate it, Mr. Beichuan!"

The fact that Beichuan Si could say these words was already doing his utmost, Gongben Naoki knew this. So she did not continue to pressure him or make any requests that would make Beichuan Si uncomfortable.

She adjusted her mood a bit outside, cleaned her face slightly, and re-entered the café.

"Ah, the matter we were discussing has concluded—uh...?" Yamakou Hideyasu, who was still greeting her, looked at Gongben Naoki’s swollen eyes and asked in puzzlement, "Miss Gongben, what happened to your eyes?"

Gongben Naoki forced a smile, "I was just discussing some matters with Mr. Beichuan and couldn’t help crying when we got carried away. Please don’t mind it."

Her frail appearance, combined with the look of a beauty in distress, was something no man could refuse.

But—

The three young men looked toward the stone-faced youth standing beside Gongben Naoki.

They all fell silent.

Beichuan Si.

This was a high authority.

Especially at such a critical juncture, who would want to offend Beichuan Si for a girl?

Once Beichuan Si and Gongben Naoki sat down again, the conversation continued to unfold.

It’s worth mentioning that Gongben Naoki actually made some discoveries as well.

"I’ve actually been investigating the issues related to Jishi Park and have visited the site several times, but basically, I’ve come back empty-handed every time... As for the reason I’m investigating Jishi Park... please allow me to keep some things confidential."

She still didn’t intend to reveal everything about her sister’s situation.

"I specifically asked employees who had worked at Jishi Park, and they also told me about the reasons behind the suicide of the person in charge at the time."

Miss Gongben’s expression turned solemn as she slowly narrated everything she had personally investigated.

Jishi Park had been ordered to close down and has been shut down for about two years now.

"The reason the haunted house manager hanged himself... actually occurred during this same period of time back then."

Miss Gongben’s voice lowered:

"May Day Golden Week."

"Is that so? This is the first time I’ve heard about it." Yamakou Hideyasu and Tanaka Takashi exchanged glances.

Miss Gongben nodded and briskly took out her phone: "This is a promotional video for Jishi Park from two years ago, you can have a look."

"... How did you find it? I remember that the official website of Jishi Park has been down for a year or two, right? Videos related to it on the internet have also pretty much been taken down..."

Yamakou Hideyasu’s face showed disbelief.

"I found an employee who used to work in Jishi Park, and his USB drive still had this file saved on it," Miss Gongben answered calmly.

Found an employee who worked there? This really is something... When exactly did Miss Gongben start investigating Jishi Park?

Just as they were curious and wanted to ask, Beichuan Si took the phone without a word, and opened the video.

Blue sky, white clouds, confetti cannons.

As a melodious music sound played, the scene changed and the accompanying sound also emerged.

This was Jishi Park during the time it was open to visitors, and it looked pretty good.

Happy Valley, U-shaped skateboard, Adventure Sea, haunted house...

"At that time, Jishi Park was developing very well and was in a rising phase... but good times didn’t last long, after that, there was a serious safety accident."

Miss Gongben slid the video to focus on an amusement ride.

People were secured in their seats, which were connected to the other end high above, swinging through the air like toys.

"Space Claw... I think that’s what this ride was called. Apparently, there was an issue with the safety seats, and several visitors were directly thrown from the air. Fortunately, there was a pool below the Space Claw, so the visitors only suffered minor injuries... But even so, for an amusement park, this was a very serious safety accident."

"After that incident, Jishi Park underwent a long period of safety certification and reorganization, finally reopening during the May Golden Week."

Miss Gongben tapped her fingers on the table: "But having had an accident once already, it was difficult to erase from people’s minds, and at that time, the park’s manager thought of something—the celebrity effect. He invited some live streamers and forum leaders to come and play, to review each facility and thus attract visitors."

"Yet who could have imagined that during this time, another safety accident would occur, resulting in a live streamer’s poor handling causing him to fall from a great height while on the U-shaped skateboard..."

At this point, Miss Gongben took a deep breath: "Strictly speaking, it was the broadcaster’s fault, but no matter what, Jishi Park’s reputation plummeted yet again, and the park’s general manager... the same person in charge of the haunted house, ultimately hanged himself inside the haunted house."

"After that, many strange things began to happen in the park."

"Weird noises in the haunted house, increasingly serious safety accidents... Jishi Park finally closed down among a chorus of curses."

"This may be why they invited us for a review during the May Golden Week."

Yes, the general manager who committed suicide by hanging did so during the May Golden Week.

And the last time Other Shore Flower, the baseball cap, and the others received the email was also during the May Golden Week.

Perhaps that was the reason.

Miss Gongben was about to continue speaking but suddenly found her voice becoming eerily elongated, forming a very terrifying echo:

"He wants us dead."

"Wants us dead..."

"Dead...!"
