Meeting A Demonic Cultivator, Even God Cries

rt.

They found a third essay, and Gu Xizhou looked over the contents carefully.

《What are you going to do this weekend?》 

This weekend I am going to go to an amusement park.
I want to play on the merry-go-round, bumper cars, haunted house, big pendulum, drop tower, flume ride, roller coaster, and ferris wheel.
I want to go on all of the rides!

I want to have so much fun, but I don’t want to go to the amusement park just to play.  I also want my mom and dad to spend more time with me.

Surely the amusement park can help me with my goal!

A-Ke only glanced at the contents before her face turned slightly pale, and her footsteps became uncertain.
With great difficulty, she had just managed to exit the haunted house only to see all of the rides written out by the child.
Her thoughts went blank. 

Still playing, isn’t this just tempting fate?

There were several other people like her.
They looked at the very tall rides.
These weren’t rides, they were essentially large scale meat grinders.

“Fuck, why are there so many… We only have three spots left.
Seventeen of the thirty-six people remain, if we go on all of these rides… I’m afraid none of us will leave this damn place alive!”

“Exactly, ah! It doesn’t give us a way to live!” 

Gu Xizhou turned to look at Si Yu who was lost in thought, gently nudging Si Yu’s shoulder with his.
“President Si, what do you think?” he said quietly.

“What? What did you say?” Si Yu looked a little lost, his face blank and helpless.

Gu Xizhou replied naturally, “The contents of the third essay of course.
Did your mind wander?”

“En,” Si Yu didn’t deny it.
He pressed his lips into a thin line and looked at Gu Xizhou absentmindedly.
He stretched out a bony hand to the teammate holding the essay and said, “Let me see.” 

Si Yu closed his eyes slightly, looking at the contents of the essay carefully.
He handed the essay back and said, “There really are a lot, but the mission world won’t make us take all of these.”

Lu An listened to the certainty in his voice and asked strangely, “How can you be so sure?”

 

Si Yu put his hands in the air, “Although I only saw the child briefly, he is definitely no more than one point two meters tall.
A child less than one point two meters tall will not be able to go on most of the rides.
For example the roller coaster etc.”

Gu Xizhou glanced at him, then they all waited for a moment, but the next ride didn’t appear on the ticket.
After discussing it, they decided to act separately to look for traces of the child. 

After ten minutes, still no new ride appeared on the ticket.
Gu Xizhou and the four of them looked at each other in dismay.

Gu Xizhou furrowed his brows.
“What does this mean? Are the clues we have already enough?”

Gu Xizhou raised an eyebrow, “He wrote three elementary school essays, told us he doesn’t like his dad, likes his mom, and that his parents don’t spend a lot of time with him… But, it has nothing to do with his death.
I think his death should have something to do with the amusement park and it’s employees.”

Si Yu glanced at him and waited for him to continue. 

Having received President Si’s approval, Gu Xizhou felt a little happy and immediately brought forward his own theory: “For these ghosts, death is liberation.
Ghost visitors can line up to die, but the employees can’t die; they have to stick to their posts.
This is a kind of punishment in disguise.”

Si Yu furrowed his brows slightly.
He didn’t recall having this impression, so he couldn’t help but ask, “Do the ghosts working in the amusement park also want to die?”

Gu Xizhou nodded without hesitation, “Yes, I asked them when I went to jump the queue.”

Si Yu furrowed his brows, revealing a pensive look, “It should be that he had an accident the day he went to the park which led to his death.” 

Gu Xizhou looked around.
They still hadn’t found any traces of that child.

He furrowed his brows, staring at the ticket for a long time.

Kuang dang—

A ghost from the big pendulum was thrown off.
He died at Si Yu and Gu Xizhou’s feet, head squished on the ground and legs still slightly twitching.
He couldn’t be anymore dead.
It appeared that he was already dead and could not die anymore. 

Gu Xizhou and Si Yu looked at each other at the same time and Gu Xizhou said, “The child died on the fourth ride of the amusement park!”

“Correct.” Si Yu nodded.

As soon as the two said this, blood red lines began to form characters on everyone’s tickets.

—Gege/jiejie, can you guess whether I like my mom or my dad? (Note: if you can answer Tong Tong’s question correctly in five seconds you will get a hint from Tong Tong, if you are wrong, you will die.
0/17) 

The second essay they got was《My Dad》, from how many times it was revised, it wasn’t hard to guess the child’s attitude towards his father.
Gu Xizhou wanted to answer, but he felt that something was wrong and couldn’t answer.

Si Yu was faster than him and raised his hand to cover Gu Xizhou’s mouth, apparently afraid that he would try give a random answer.

 

To like dad, but still like mom? To amend the essay… to amend the essay.

Si Yu replied to the question on the ticket in a low voice, “You like both of them.” 

The second person to reply was Ye Shu, her soft female voice only a little slower than Si Yu’s, but her and Si Yu’s answers were exactly the same.

—Congratulations on your answer.

Hint: Ferris Wheel

Gu Xizhou and Ma Qi immediately copied their answers on the back of their tickets. 

After answering the question, the same hint appeared on the back of Gu Xizhou’s ticket.
However, with no idea why the answer was right, Gu Xizhou asked in a low voice, “Why is the answer both? The second essay was clearly written over and over again!”

Si Yu, “Have you ever wondered why he rewrote it?”

Gu Xizhou: “……”

Si Yu, “The child didn’t want others to know his father’s bad side.
He hid it out of love.” 

Gu Xizhou’s head hurt, so it was rewritten out of love… Those word left behind are harmful!

Gu Xizhou began to think about how many people this question would kill… Soon Gu Xizhou’s misgivings were confirmed, because only eight people came to the ferris wheel.
