Chapter 46.2 (2/2)

As he hesitated whether or not to take out his nuclear-powered flashlight, there was a sound of a machine starting up not far in front of them.

“Whirr, whirr…“

The crowd immediately jumped in fright and looked up. It turned out that the carousel in front of them suddenly started up. The carousel was decorated with colorful lights and when it started up, it shone in all sorts of colors, becoming the only visible light source in the night. As the carousel started turning, a children’s song noisily broke through the silence of the night.

This was an unknown children’s song, the tune unfamiliar and the sound effect poor. The young and tender child’s voice had a strange eeriness to it. Just as all their attention was focused on the carousel, a clown appeared on the carousel.

This was a typical clown, with funny colors painted on his face and a fake, red nose. He was dressed in a pompous and comical manner. When he opened his mouth to speak, his tone was artificially exaggerated to the extreme, “Welcome to the Death Playground, I’m your friend, Uncle Clown~”

No one answered and they looked at each other, feeling very uneasy.

Xiao Tangqiu calmly looked at the clown and then at the playground through the colorful lights from the carousel.

There wasn’t a doubt that this was an amusement park that had been abandoned for many years. The facilities were old and backward, and everything was broken, the entire place filled with a bleak atmosphere. Even the carousel on which the clown was sitting was mottled and the paint was peeling.

“From now on, we will play a game, the name of which is called…” The clown continued to use grandiose tone, “Whoever is lucky will live to the end!”

“Whoever is lucky will live to the end?” Xiao Tangqiu frowned slightly. What did this mean? Would they have to draw lots to decide whether they lived or died?

“Hee-hee hee-hee,” the clown laughed. “There are four attractions in this amusement park. Not everyone has to take part in these four games. Only half of you are needed for each game…

“Half of us?” They all looked at each other. Tang Mianmian couldn’t help asking, “How do you decide who plays and who doesn’t?”

At this moment, anyone with a normal IQ would know that these games were definitely not the regular attractions in a regular amusement park. Naturally, they prayed that it wasn’t them. If they were allowed to make their own decision, then surely no one was willing to play these games.

“Ding, ding, ding! The answer is-” The clown smiled and took out a colorful box from behind him,” Of course, a lottery! In this colorful box, half of these are red balls and the other half are black balls, and the person who draws the red ball is the lucky player!”

Xiao Tangqiu suddenly gasped. It really was a lottery!

This kind of instance, which didn’t rely on strength or experience but purely on luck was too unreasonable, wasn’t it?!

Everyone had a different look on their faces. Most of them looked serious, which obviously meant that they usually didn’t have good luck. Only the geek quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Obviously his luck was usually pretty decent.

“It’s twelve o’clock! Game on! Will the 14 players please go to the first event – Spooky House!”

“Finally, I’d like to give you a warning… Don’t believe a word the clown says!”

……Don’t believe a word the clown says?

Did the clown mean himself?

Just when Xiao Tangqiu was still puzzling over the matter, he was suddenly shocked. Wait, 14 players?!

Where did the 14 players come from?

Before he could react, the loud chime of a clock came from a distance.

“Dong-“

“It’s a clock!” Tang Mianmian was the first to react.

Xiao Tangqiu immediately looked up. As expected, an old-fashioned clock tower appeared in the distance. No, perhaps the clock tower had always existed, but it was shrouded in darkness earlier, so they didn’t notice it.

At the top of the clock tower was a huge glowing clock. It was a huge, four-sided clock. No matter which corner of the amusement park they were at, as long as they looked up, they could see it. The time was clearly shown on it and it was exactly 12 midnight now. However, it was strange that this clock only had the numbers from 12 to 6 on it. The numbers after that had disappeared.

Xiao Tangqiu soon understood, “Our game time is only from 12 midnight to 6 am… We must leave here before 6 am.”

“The game has started? It seems very exciting!” Just then, a burst of excited discussion suddenly rang out.

“The clown can really act! It’s just like the real thing!”

“Very good! Very good!”

Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian looked at each other and found something wrong in an instant. What they were facing now was a life and death crisis. Who would be in the mood to laugh and joke?

When they looked back, they were immediately surprised. Apart from the seven of them, there were seven more people who had unexpectedly appeared God knows when… With the sudden appearance of these seven people, didn’t that add up to 14 people?

The other newbies also looked in horror at the seven people who had suddenly appeared. They hadn’t heard any footsteps just now. It was as if they had appeared out of thin air.
