Chapter 55 – What's coming

Why?

This was the common voice of everyone. Why was the controller ineffective? Why did a father have to save this little girl?

Zhang Yuanqing couldn't understand either, but his attention was now fully focused on the sound coming from the chest of the car person.

Demon King? It just said Demon King?!

Why would a robot's voice system say Demon King? Suddenly, he remembered the information left by Brother Bing.

Could it be that what Brother Bing wanted him to find was this car person in front of him? He was shocked.

"Bang bang..."

Red Dance Shoes flew up and kicked the car person, sending it sliding half a meter to the side.

Zhang Yuanqing suddenly woke up and shouted, "Quick, hide back in the car."

Without his reminder, Xishi Fire Demon and Qitian Dasheng had already opened the car door, ready to climb into the car for shelter.

Zhang Yuanqing glanced at Xie Lingxi, who had a vacant look in her eyes, lifted her up, held the upper half of her father's body, and hurriedly got into another car.

"Bang!"

The car door closed, blocking the danger outside.

Zhang Yuanqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at his two companions. Although the father who felt guilty for his daughter's death had a strong vitality and did not die immediately, it was only a matter of time.

Xie Lingxi woke up from her dazed state and looked at the middle-aged man with a complicated expression, asking softly, "Why?"

Why did he risk his life to save her?

Facing the girl's question, the father who felt guilty for his daughter's death had a pale and defeated face, but his tone was surprisingly calm as he asked back, "Do you need a reason to save someone?"

Xie Lingxi was stunned.

Uncle, this doesn't sound like something you would say... Zhang Yuanqing thought with mixed feelings.

For a moment, this simple and plain answer touched his heart.

The father who felt guilty for his daughter's death said lightly, "You don't need to thank me, nor do you need to feel guilty. My saving you has nothing to do with you. For people like me, death is not necessarily a bad thing. If you knew what I did before, you wouldn't have any pity for me, and of course, I don't need pity either."

His voice was weak and intermittent, "Wang Tai..."

"You said..."

"I want to ask you to do something for me. If you can leave the amusement park alive, find someone for me and pass on a message. As a reward, I will tell you something related to the mission."

Why me? Zhang Yuanqing raised his eyes in confusion and glanced at Xie Lingxi beside him.

The father who felt guilty for his daughter's death became even more defeated, his voice weakly saying, "She is an official person..."

Xie Lingxi knew how to conquer the game, so he suspected that the little girl was an official person? He didn't want the officials to know about his affairs? The thought flashed through Zhang Yuanqing's mind, and he nodded, "Okay, I promise you, on the condition that I can leave the amusement park alive.""I asked you to find a person named 'Master Wuheng' and pass a message to him for me..." The father paused, his eyes filled with confusion, hatred, and sadness. "I'm sorry, even now I still don't know whether it's me or this world that's wrong."

Zhang Yuanqing was taken aback and said, "I remember."

The father nodded in satisfaction. "I will tell you an address and the information as compensation. Come closer and listen..."

Zhang Yuanqing leaned down and brought his ear closer. After a dozen seconds, he lifted his head and whispered, "Alright. As an exchange, I will help you with this matter."

The father looked relieved and no longer forced himself to hold on. The remaining fire in his eyes was extinguished in an instant.

Xie Lingxi's eyes turned red as tears streamed down her face.

Zhang Yuanqing couldn't tell if she was really crying or faking it. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "He's a devilish creature. He told me himself. I'm not sure why he saved you, but it may not have anything to do with you. You don't have to feel guilty."

Evil professions all have their own stories.

Xie Lingxi sniffled and obediently nodded. "I know he has a strong aura of evil. I knew he was an evil profession a long time ago... What do we do next?"

She knew that the father was an evil profession... Zhang Yuanqing's eyes darkened as he recalled Xie Lingxi's words and actions from beginning to end. He looked out the car window and saw Red Dancing Shoes fighting fiercely with the car person.

According to their observations, the car person would continue to chase after Lingjing travelers for five minutes each time they appeared.

But the time had long passed, and the steel monster still hadn't left.

Zhang Yuanqing's gaze swept over the battle between Red Dancing Shoes and the car person and then turned to the car behind them. He saw Xishi pounding on the window and looking urgently in their direction, as if calling out for something.

Behind her were the intense arguments between Fire Demon and Monkey King.

In this sudden turn of events, the two of them had become embroiled in a conflict. Xishi was probably trying to seek his help, but they were too far away to communicate.

If this went on, they would be trapped in the car and unable to move. He guessed that they were not only afraid of the car person, but also of Red Dancing Shoes, because it was almost an hour...

Zhang Yuanqing looked at the beautiful and delicate girl beside him and asked, "You've seen the situation outside. Do you have any ideas?"

Whether this girl was pretending to be weak or really was weak, she was able to enter the amusement park, so she wasn't stupid. A qualified leader must know how to seek advice from the wise.

Xie Lingxi still had a soft and weak appearance, but she said with sobs, "To solve the crisis, we must first understand where the problem lies. We need to figure out why the car person is not abiding by the rules of combat."

Yes, this car person was not abiding by the rules of combat. It came to deceive and ambush... Zhang Yuanqing nodded and said, "Go on.""Just now, when I pressed the controller, the car did stop, which means the controller works and the Autobots cannot deceive us with their intelligence. In other words, we have already shut down the Autobot once," Xie Lingxi said.

"I noticed that after restoring energy, it said something different. Is it possible that the Autobot's control system has changed? Do we need to shut it down again?"

Shutting it down again... Zhang Yuanqing silently chewed on these words. He didn't ask any further because Xie Lingxi couldn't possibly know, but her analysis gave him enough inspiration.

The Autobot should be related to the information Brother Bing left for me. If I want to find out about Brother Bing's disappearance and the Demon Lord's related matters, I have to have control over the Autobot.

After entering the Jinshui amusement park, he didn't forget the clues left by Brother Bing, but he didn't actively search for them either. Because of the S-level difficulty, it was lucky to pass through, and reckless exploration was just asking to die faster. Brother Bing's clues could only be left to fate.

In fact, this situation was a good thing because the task and the clues were solved together. Of course, the premise was that he could solve the crisis.

In the information Brother Bing left for me, besides the Lingjing number, there was only one sentence: "Two brothers in one lifetime." Shutting it down again... I seem to know how to use this sentence... Zhang Yuanqing decided to try it and opened the car door.

"You..." Xie Lingxi was surprised and called out shortly.

In the car not far away, Xishi was stunned, and Qitian Dasheng and Fire Demon stopped arguing.

Why did Wang Tai come out? Was he here to retrieve the dance shoes?

Zhang Yuanqing closed the car door, approached the Autobot, and stopped about five or six meters away, his breath sinking to his dantian as he loudly said, "Two brothers in one lifetime!"

The sound echoed in the underground parking lot, and then an unbelievable scene happened. The Autobot, who was raging and fierce just a moment ago, suddenly stopped like a power outage.

Then, the sound system on its chest made a sound: "Password correct!"

The steel armor covering its chest 'clacked' and separated to both sides, revealing the internal wires and a black, square box.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuanqing took a step forward and thought for a moment. In order to prevent the Autobot from making another surprise attack, he summoned the Red Dancing Shoes to cover his feet, ensuring that he had full evasion points before continuing to approach.

Standing in front of the Autobot, Zhang Yuanqing took down the square box.

Its shell was made of black metal composite material, and the front of the box had a speaker and two buttons. Judging from its appearance alone, it seemed to be a pocket-sized speaker.

About half a palm in size.

At this moment, a piece of information floated into Zhang Yuanqing's line of sight:

【Name: Cat King Speaker】

【Type: Audiovisual equipment】

【Function: Play audio】[Introduction: A long time ago, a cat king who loved music challenged the god of light, but was punished by having its soul sealed in an instrument. For years, the cat king existed alone in the instrument until an Eastern musician obtained it and transformed it into a speaker.]

[Note 1: Drum sound - When the drum sound is heard, you will gain unparalleled fighting spirit, and your enemies will be intimidated.]

[Note 2: Suona - When the suona is heard, you will be invincible, but please end the battle within three minutes, otherwise, the suona sound will be used for another purpose.]

[Note 3: Meow, meow meow, meow meow meow! (If anyone dares to lock me up again, I will scratch their face.)]

[Note 4: If I want to sing, I will sing loudly.]

A prop, a cost-type prop, is this what Brother Bing left for me? According to the notes, there are two types of audio stored in the speaker, one is the drum sound, which amplifies combat power and intimidates enemies.

The note for the suona is easy to understand. I must turn off the suona sound within three minutes, otherwise it will bury me... But what is the relationship between this and what Brother Bing said, "Leave everything there"? And I didn't understand notes 3 and 4... Zhang Yuanqing curiously examined the speaker in his palm.

Overall, this prop is not bad, it belongs to the cost-type auxiliary prop. I haven't tried the suona sound and drum sound, so it's hard to judge, but since Brother Bing went to great lengths to hide it here, it must have some special features.

As for what Brother Bing hid in it, it still needs to be studied.

At this time, when they saw the Autobot was indeed defeated and did not revive, Xishi and others finally crawled out of the car.

"We finally cleared the underground parking lot, thanks to you, Wang Tai." Sun Wukong's face was full of smiles.

Xishi came over with a charming look and said in a sweet voice, "Big Brother Wang Tai, I knew you wouldn't let us down. I shouted for help in the car just now, and you must have heard it before coming out, right?"

Big Brother? Zhang Yuanqing glanced at her. This woman in her thirties could be his mother if she was a few years older.

"How did you know how to shut down the Autobot? What is this thing?" Fire Demon stared at the speaker.

"A prop, an auxiliary prop." Zhang Yuanqing smiled and didn't answer the first question, saying, "The harvest is not bad. Everyone, I'll take this prop, any objections?"

Fire Demon was about to speak but saw Red Dancing Shoes walking over with a clatter and said immediately, "You solved the problem, the thing belongs to you, it's fair."

"Fair, fair." Xishi and Sun Wukong looked at Red Dancing Shoes and nodded repeatedly.Zhang Yuanqing was about to put the Cat King speaker into his inventory when he received an unexpected prompt:

【Cannot store this item.】

Unable to store it? Zhang Yuanqing was taken aback, then understood the meaning of Remark 3.

What a rip-off, this item cannot be stored in the inventory, does that mean he has to carry it around with him?

At this time, everyone received a prompt from the Lingjing:

【You have completed the underground parking lot task and are now undertaking the "Heart-pounding" task series. The entertainment facilities for this series are: roller coaster - underground parking lot - haunted house (dark wedding) - detective reasoning hall. Please go to the third location within half an hour.】

In addition to the above information, Zhang Yuanqing also received another prompt:

Search "pawread.com" for the original.

【Ding, you have successfully led your team to complete a task. You have a chance to exercise your captain's power. Please specify the evil person hidden among your team members. The designated person will be eliminated!】

【If no choice is made within thirty seconds, it will be considered as giving up this opportunity.】

This time, Zhang Yuanqing did not hesitate and silently thought to himself: "Give up."

...

Leaving the parking lot, a gentle evening breeze blew.

The lights of the amusement park were as dreamy and blurred as ever, and the sound of gentle music came from afar.

Zhang Yuanqing was followed by Red Dancing Shoes. He looked around and said to his companions:

"Wait here for a moment, I'll be back soon."

Facing the scrutiny of his companions, he explained with a smile, "Taking back the dancing shoes requires a certain cost, and this cost is not suitable for you to see."

The others nodded half-believingly.

Zhang Yuanqing went to a secluded place where there was no one around, put the speaker aside, and agreed to Red Dancing Shoes' invitation to dance.

Suddenly, the music from the speaker began to play without warning:

"Instead of chatting, it's better to dance, make yourself feel comfortable... Continue to dance, it's better than falling in love, use this way to get along..."

What's going on? How did this guy suddenly start playing music... Zhang Yuanqing was already feeling a bit embarrassed while dancing, and the sudden sound of the song almost made him lose his balance.

So this is what Remark 4 means? This thing is so annoying, not only did it force him to dance awkwardly, but also played such embarrassing music. How can he face people if he is seen like this?

Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself with mixed feelings.

The loud singing drowned out the sound of the tap dancing.

Red Dancing Shoes seemed unhappy, and the sound of tap dancing became even more intense and loud.

A few minutes later, Zhang Yuanqing finished dancing, and Red Dancing Shoes automatically returned to the inventory.

When he returned, he couldn't tell if it was an illusion, but he felt that everyone was looking at him strangely...

The five of them followed the signs and walked towards the depths of the amusement park.The further they went, the darker the lights became, and the more solemn the five of them felt.

The third level was a haunted house, the only one in the amusement park with supernatural elements. According to the introduction of the Ling Realm, the reason why the amusement park was transformed into an S-level instance was largely due to the change in the spirits.

After walking for four or five minutes, they arrived at a quiet alley. The architectural style here was reminiscent of the Republic of China era, with white walls and black tiles. Two-person-high walls surrounded each house, and white lanterns hung under the eaves of every household.

The ground beneath their feet had changed from concrete to cobblestone paving, and the music behind them disappeared without a trace as soon as they entered the alley.

Under the dark night, white lanterns hung under the eaves, and there was silence all around, with no sound at all.

Xishi hugged Zhang Yuanqing's arm tightly, looking around nervously and said, "I'm not afraid of killing, but I can't stand this atmosphere..."

Although Xie Lingxi did not hug Zhang Yuanqing's arm, her face turned slightly pale and her expression was tense.

Qi Tian Da Sheng and Huo Mo were braver, with somewhat uneasy expressions, occasionally looking back, feeling like something was following them.

Only Zhang Yuanqing remained calm. The heavy Yin energy here made him extremely comfortable, as if he had returned home.

Perhaps it was this calm appearance that made Xishi and Xie Lingxi unable to help but want to get closer to him and feel safe.

Unconsciously, they arrived at the front of a large courtyard. Unlike the other houses, the lanterns hanging here were red, and the candlelight was like blood, reflecting a blood-red color in front of the gate.

A "happiness" character was posted on the door, and the couplets were also red. It seemed that the host family was having a happy event.

They had arrived at their destination.

The five of them looked at each other, and finally looked at Zhang Yuanqing at the same time.

Zhang Yuanqing took a few steps forward, knocked on the door, and shouted loudly, "Is anyone there? I'm here to marry your Miss."

As soon as his voice fell, the door creaked open, and a cold, eerie wind blew out from inside.

As a night tour god, Zhang Yuanqing's back was covered in cold sweat, and he whispered, "A ghost is coming..."
