Deep in the Living

Chapter 458 Hidden Fear

The red curtain that encloses the carousel is designed to form an airtight structure so that the temperature inside can continue to rise.

The temperature rise is extremely fast, it's just like an oven.

The passengers before them looked normal when the curtain was raised. The temperature rise will not last until the end, and it should cool down in the middle.

Judging from the current rate of temperature increase, 500℃ should be the limit.

Although I am not a hellish body, I have gained some projection effects to some extent."

Rody glanced at Li Beite beside him, thinking that the other party would feel a little uncomfortable. After all, there was no natural high temperature like hell in the corner.

However, what he saw was a young man who was completely immersed in playing.

It was as if I saw myself as a child being taken to the amusement park by my parents, a pure happiness without a trace of impurities.

"This guy doesn't need my concern at all... He is a natural born monster. The corner is his home. I am an outsider."

Rody shifted his gaze downwards.

Under the current 110℃ environment, the wax seal on the surface of the Trojan horse has basically melted away, revealing its true form inside, a "centaur".

The tourists who had once melted due to being unable to withstand the high temperature, all melted together to form this wooden horse.

As more and more passengers dissolve, the volume of the horse will grow.

A large number of eyeballs were stuck to the surface of the rotten meat, and the vaguely visible mouths were moving and making various human voices.
"kill me……"

"join us……"

"It's so hot...I want to die!"

"Don't sit on me~"

Resentment, hatred, pain...endless malice grows and multiplies in them.

Rody could feel that the consciousness of these individuals who had become Trojan horses had not dissipated, and their souls seemed to be trapped here permanently, becoming part of the amusement park.

It's a pity that Roddy can't help to free them now, otherwise points will be deducted due to the damage to the facilities.

The temperature is getting higher and higher.

When the temperature reaches 300℃, the flesh on the wooden horse begins to soften and melt into liquid.

The liquid did not drip down, but climbed up Rody's body, blocking the heat dissipation of his pores, as if wanting to melt him and become a part of it.

but,

Rody's reaction was to sweat slightly and start exhaling ash from his mouth to get rid of the excess heat.

He had been burned in the Hell Forge.

This temperature not only did not make Rody uncomfortable, but instead activated his old spine, allowing his hellish nature to gradually reveal itself.

The back is slightly protruding.

Something seemed to be coming out of my forehead.
The body seems to be expanding.

The form of [Devil of Hell] is about to be revealed.

But he was eventually suppressed by Rody. Now was not the time to show such an attitude. He adjusted his breathing, exhaled the ashes and slowly returned to normal.

Luo Di looked at Li Beite again.

The other party really had no means of withstanding high temperatures. All the hair on his body had been burned, and his skin was covered with blisters and began to fall off in pieces.

But Li Beite's expression remained the same as at the beginning. He was immersed in such entertainment time. He also felt Rody's gaze and raised his hand to greet him.

It seems that in Libet's view, this warming itself is one of the links in the merry-go-round.

Time passes quickly,

Just as Luo Di thought, the temperature stopped rising halfway. As the temperature dropped rapidly, the wooden horse slowly returned to its original state, with only a little wax oil remaining on the ground.

The wooden horse stopped and the curtain rose.

Rody wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand and got up from his horse.

Li Beite had already finished repairing himself and quickly came to Luo Di's side. "It's quite interesting! By the way, the temperature is so high, can ordinary humans withstand it?"

"The humans are just simply spinning in circles."

"Ah? This is more interesting. This temperature is just right for me to warm up. I can perform better later."

When leaving,
The person wearing the black horse mask took out a special stamp and stamped it on Roddy's ticket, which meant adding 10 points.

Li Beite was given three stamps and a beautiful gift box.

The latter is like a child who comes to an amusement park for the first time, his eyes light up and he opens the gift box without even checking for danger.

Inside was a Trojan horse figurine.

It looks like a white horse, but you can peel off the surface skin to reveal the molten human faces inside. By turning the spring of the tail, these human faces can also make similar painful groans, which is very interesting.

Li Beite cut open his abdomen and stuffed the figurine into his body to preserve it. "When I get home, I will put it by my bed to commemorate my first time riding a carousel."

Rody turned his head and looked at the "carousel".

Compared to before, he seemed to see more now, seeing the [evil] lingering in the entire device. Rather than being an entertainment device, it was more like a container for the Joker to collect evil.

The desire to kill became stronger and stronger.

When he turned around and tried to search for the squad leader, he found that he had disappeared and the coffin had disappeared with him.

"What about people?"

Just when Roddy thought that the clown had used some means to break up the team, a familiar voice came from not far away:

"You guys finished playing so quickly~ I bought you some ice cream to cool you down!"

Wu Wen was dragging the coffin towards the ice cream shop not far away, holding three ice cream cones in her hands.

"You... buy the ice cream here?" "Yes~ Since we have decided to go on the trip, let's put it into context. Don't worry, I have checked the ingredients of the ice cream. It is not made of human fat, but low-quality hydrogenated vegetable oil.

Take it now!"

Luo Di took the ice cream on his own initiative, and grabbed Wu Wen's palm. His tentacles penetrated into the other's body to verify her identity. Only after confirming that it was correct did he put the ice cream into his mouth.

It really is the taste of childhood.

Do not know why,

When the ice cream entered my mouth, it completely dissipated the heat brought by the carousel.

Luo Di also noticed that many tourists who had played the wooden horse also spent one point to buy ice cream, and Wu Wen probably went with the previous group of tourists.

Judging from this setting, the amusement park seems to really serve tourists.

As long as you can avoid project risks, you can get corresponding rewards, and even complete immersion like Li Beite.

"The purpose of this playground... is it to collect malice? Is there anything else?"

At this moment, while licking her ice cream, Wu Wen asked softly, "How difficult is the carousel?"

"Generally, it's equivalent to a high temperature resistance test, and Li Beite also won a special prize."

"really……"

"Sure enough?"

“I guessed that it wouldn’t be very difficult, and the Joker didn’t specifically target you during the project… He seemed to have a deeper purpose in building this amusement park, and it even felt like he was hiding something.

In this case, we should improve our efficiency, quickly participate in other projects, and earn [points] as soon as possible."

"What can I do if I earn more points?"

Wu Wen unfolded the map and pointed to the center.
“Five hundred points will buy you a special ticket to the Central Circus… I’m guessing the clown will probably be in there.

The real secret of this amusement park and the exit should also be hidden inside.

Of course, it could also be a trap set for us."

"You really did a lot in these ten minutes."

"Efficiency is the most important thing. Otherwise, how could I have managed our class to be the best in the grade? Let's go. There's a roller coaster ahead. I really want to try it. How about Luo Di, you take care of Hua Yuan and I'll go up and play?"

"Row."

Just as Wu Wen guessed.

There is still no interference from the clown or other evil eight people during the roller coaster, and the overall difficulty is not high, similar to the wooden horse. Individuals who cannot bear it during the journey will be combined into part of the roller coaster, and the malice they emit will be absorbed by this amusement park.

Time passes.

Night falls.

After a whole day of sightseeing, apart from some minor scratches on my body, I was fine.

Li Beite was able to immerse himself in almost every project. Not only did he score over a thousand points, he also received various exquisite souvenirs.

Luo Di and Wu Wen also accumulated more than 500 points and were eligible to go to the center of the amusement park.

What is certain is that the entire playground should belong to the Joker's personal malicious collector. As one of the Eight Evils, he can collect maliciousness to water the plants and make them grow.

However, there are many ways to collect bad intentions.

In Wu Wen's opinion, there is no need to spend so much money to build such an amusement park.

Moreover, the activities here are more like checking the physical qualities of the participants, including heat tolerance, mental reaction, physical strength, etc., rather than entertainment.

With doubts,

Everyone finally arrived at the center of the amusement park at night.

This place is separated from the park itself by a wall over 30 meters high. Various colorful balloons with different forms of smiling faces painted on them are hung on the top of the wall.

Beyond the wall, one could vaguely see a huge, dark circus tent standing alone.

The only ticket window is embedded inside the city wall.

Only Luo Di and others had enough points to buy tickets.

Since almost no one came to buy tickets, the ticket seller inside had fallen asleep on the table. She had long black hair and seemed to be a woman.

When Rody knocked on the glass,

The conductor twisted his body for a while, then slowly stood up and stretched.

The other person's face made Rody's eyes widen instantly, and he almost took action.

It was not a woman at all, but the clown himself wearing a black wig. After stretching and sniffing, he immediately switched to a familiar smiling face.

The clown who had never appeared before actually showed up here.

Moreover, there was no use of colors or balloons to influence the public, it was just a normal ticket sales service.

The hand covered in white paint stretched out from the window and motioned for them to send the tickets in for inspection to confirm whether they had enough points.

Rody suppressed his murderous intent and handed in his tickets with his companions.

Li Beite’s points exceeded a thousand, and he bought a circus ticket for Hua Yuan in the coffin.

The heavy black iron door opened inwards.
Everyone walked along the bright red carpet step by step into the huge circus tent.

There were neither spectators nor performers inside, it was completely empty... There was only a cellar door sealed with eighteen locks in the center of the ground.

Even if the door is not open,
Rody and the others also smelled a strong breath of fear, and a huge rotten ghost face almost formed on the surface of the door.

Wu Wen was the first to react. "So that's it. This is the real purpose of the clown spending so much money to build the amusement park..."
