The world of rules, ██ Amusement Park.

The Realm of Rules is not entirely a realm where humans cannot survive; it belongs to the realm of supernatural tales and also includes normal tourist areas similar to the ██ Amusement Park.

As its name suggests, it is an amusement park with a unique set of rules.

On the surface, it is no different from many other amusement parks. Crowds surge under the huge rainbow arch, cheerful music and screams of tourists intertwine, and the air is filled with the sweet aroma of candy and popcorn.

However, those bizarre and grotesque humanoid monsters that seem to have stepped out of a movie are not makeup or mascot costumes, but real ghost stories.

Its name ██ is also a unique feature of the rules.

In theory, you can call yourself anything, but the rules you write down are limited. Within the amusement park, anyone who tries to define the name of the amusement park will have ██ prefixed to their name.

The rules do not apply outside the amusement park area.

The ticket seller was a snow-white rabbit with scarlet eyes and long ears. Beef jerky was placed next to her, and she would grab a couple of pieces to eat every now and then.

There was a notice board on the side:

[Honest adoption of humans. Children under 12 who love animals are given priority. Temporary foster care is possible. There are currently four people in the household, and their health can be verified.]

[Note: A preference for meat is a prerequisite for adoption; vegetarians please do not apply.]

Many human tourists couldn't help but glance at the notice board when handing over their tickets, and their eyes changed when they looked at the rabbit.

"Welcome to ██ Amusement Park. Please show your tickets..." The rabbit took a bite of the corner of the ticket, not bothering to examine the writing, before calling out the two people's names: "Miss White Moonlight and Mr. Heartbreak, are you? Okay, this ticket is valid for all rides in the amusement park from now on."

The gate opened automatically, and the rabbit called for the next person, ignoring Ji Mo's strange expression.

"Miss White Moonlight and Mr. Heartbreak..." Ji Mo complained after entering the amusement park, "Although it's a fake identity, it's not too obvious."

More importantly, the ticket seller rabbit didn't care at all; one dared to take the money, and the other dared to trust it.

"Is it that outrageous? Then look at other people's."

As Jiu Chonglou spoke, he gestured for Ji Mo to look at the constantly updated visitor notice board at the entrance.

Some facilities in the amusement park have a competitive element, so there are corresponding leaderboards. On the occasionally updated leaderboards, most of the visitors' names don't look like their real names, but rather like their online nicknames.

Especially when Ji Mo saw "Li Ying Shang • Angelina • Ying Xue Yu Han Ling • Xue Li Chi • Mei • Antalya • Shang Meng Xun Mei • Hathaway • Rose Bai Rose Tears • Yu Ling • Xie Er • Phantomhive • Xia Ying...", the number of words was so many that they couldn't all be displayed on one line and had to be played in a scrolling format, he suddenly felt that their fake identities and names were actually quite normal.

"Everyone's so caught up in their own naming art that they've forgotten what the world is like," Ji Mo remarked sincerely, then changed the subject, "How are we supposed to find ghost stories that can provide information?"

Although Ji Mo knew very well that normal supernatural beings would not reveal information to them, and that it would be more appropriate to approach the supernatural tales, she was still somewhat surprised when the place they were looking for was not Hope City, but the ██ amusement park funded by the supernatural tales.

So-called ghost stories are essentially a kind of eeriness.

As mentioned earlier, humans can transform into ghost stories, but they cannot transform back into humans.

Not all humans become monsters in order to become stronger quickly. Some are driven by the urgency of the situation or are simply coerced into becoming monsters, and they are inherently disgusted by the idea that one can only become stronger by killing.

Furthermore, in order to ensure absolute dominance, the strange beings in the world of rules have cut off all normal channels for cultivation, forcing the few remaining locals to either take risks and try to sneak out to learn and return for revenge, or choose to be of the same origin as their enemies.

A very small number of these strange creatures develop intelligence, and once they have aspirations, they also abhor their uncontrollable murderous urges.

As mentioned above, these bizarre creatures gathered together, combining their own research with some knowledge obtained from the Void Eclipse, and through rules, they transformed themselves into a kind of supernatural phenomenon.

While one's own power still relies on the rules, one can gain a power boost through the spread of reputation.

The more people hear the strange tales and legends, the faster you level up.

The original uncontrollable urge to kill has been transformed into an extreme...love for humanity.

From the perspectives of both interest and becoming stronger, ghost stories must befriend humans and sever their ties with the supernatural.

The amusement park can be seen as an attempt to improve the reputation of ghost stories.

So far, the effect is indeed good. The number of tourists is so high that even the eerie creatures in the surrounding area are drooling with envy. However, they are afraid of the powerful ghosts guarding the amusement park and dare not sneak into the park to abduct humans.

When people are pushed to the limit, they can do anything except solve math problems.

The same applies to the supernatural. Any supernatural creature in the vicinity with a brain might think, "If you don't let me go in to capture and kill humans, then humans who were originally going to the ██ amusement park will take the wrong way, end up in my territory, and be killed by me. You can't really say anything about that, can you?"

As a result, the strange places in the surrounding area have all turned their territory into either amusement park-like areas or hotels that look like they are trying to attract customers to the amusement park, at least on the surface.

The debate between the real and fake ██ amusement parks was born in such an abstract way.

When Ji Mo found out this information, he couldn't help but sigh. Even if it's bizarre, people will still use their brains when faced with huge profits.

"It's not time for work yet, he's not here." Jiu Chonglou checked the time. "Since we're already here, let's hang out for a bit."

Seeing that Jiu Chonglou understood, Ji Mo didn't say anything more.

He was also somewhat interested in the amusement park.

"This must be your first time at an amusement park, right?"

"The second time was during a spring outing in third grade, organized by the school." Ji Mo gazed into the distance, unable to see the end of the amusement park, "but it was nowhere near as big as this."

"Hey, how much fun can you have on a school field trip? Each person only gets three tickets, and the rest of the time is spent picnicking and eating snacks." Jiu Chonglou said with the air of someone who'd been there. "This time we can have a blast."

"Hmm..." Ji Mo didn't expose the fact that Bai Yan was the one who really wanted to have a good time.

"There's a candy cart over there, let's go check it out."

The two walked to the candy cart, but there was no salesperson in sight. The cart was filled with unfamiliar brands of packaged candy and various kinds of cotton candy.

"Guest, would you like some amusement park special candies?" A tiny, lifelike sprite, about the size of a figurine, popped out of the car, sat on the edge, and wiggled its toothpick-thin legs. "Safe and harmless guaranteed, expires immediately upon leaving the amusement park~"

"If you want regular candy, we sell that too~" the little elf pointed to the fluffy marshmallow, "It's very sweet."

"Specialty candies? Tell me more about them," Jiu Chonglou asked curiously.

"These candies contain some scattered rules that will produce wonderful changes after consumption. For a more traditional approach, you can try the candies with the rule of growing bigger or smaller, and you can also participate in special miniature world facilities."
