Chapter 88 The Labyrinth

After putting down the supplements, Du Wang and Mu Mu went downstairs together.

He intended to call Cheng Huo, but found that Professor Zhuang had called him away, presumably to discuss his promotion.

The two stood in front of the parking lot.

"So—can you drive?" Du Wang turned to look at the girl's clean, fair profile and long eyelashes.

Mumu shook her head decisively: "I can't."

"I don't know either."

The two exchanged a glance.

"Then we'll have to ride an electric scooter."

Two minutes later, the electric scooter departed from the main entrance of the investigation department, a stark contrast to the shared police cars used by other team members.

"call!"

The wind whistled past.

Fortunately, the electric scooter he bought was a two-seater, so Mumu could sit in the back.

The two men, wearing round, gray helmets and earpieces, talked as they headed toward the Third Ring Road.

"Why did you look so nervous just now?" Du Wang asked curiously.

In his memory, Mu Mu didn't seem to be a very shy girl.

Mumu replied, "I'm not used to talking to strangers."

"Really?" Du Wang thought back to when he went to Shezhen. It seemed that she only talked to him and Luoshen, and basically did not communicate with Guimian.

Mumu suddenly said, "I rarely left home when I was little. My dad always found teachers to come to our house to teach me."

Du Wang asked in surprise, "Why?"

"Because I was often sick when I was a child, and I only gradually got better in high school."

"The two of us are the opposite; I was in good health until I was 17."

"Really?" Mumu shook her head.

"New user has joined the channel," a notification suddenly came through the headset.

"Hey, Chong Tong, are you there?" Wang Di's voice came through.

Du Wang asked, "What's wrong?"

Wang Di said, "A new forecast has appeared on the Third Ring Road, which is right near you."

Du Wang's heart skipped a beat: "You speak."

"At 11:22 AM today, a demon will appear at the Brilliant Sunshine Amusement Park in Shizhong District. The divination is ominous, so be careful of the rules being reversed."

"Beware of rule reversal? What does that mean?"

"I'm not sure, there haven't been any similar prompts yet."

"Okay, hold on tight, I'm going to speed up." Du Wang instructed, then accelerated to its maximum speed.

The electric scooter emitted a loud hum and then quickly passed several bicycles.

Feeling the refreshing wind, Mu Mu subconsciously reached out and grabbed Du Wang's clothes.

However, the electric scooter was soon left behind by the cars.

"Tsk." Du Wang thought he should probably learn to drive.

At the same time, in Chen Qingyao's office.

"Bang."

Vice President Miao Rui pushed the door open and entered without any ceremony.

"Stop the mission and bring Pei Zhaozhao back."

Team Leader Chen frowned: "Director Miao, you have no right to interfere with the investigation department's task assignments."

Miao Rui slammed his hands on the table: "Pei Zhaozhao's test results are in. Her potential is greater than we all imagined. I believe she should participate in the elite program and be directly trained to level 4 by headquarters!"

"so what?"

"So?" Miao Rui spat out his saliva. "So you should stop her mission and recall her immediately! We can't afford to lose a mythical host."

Team Leader Chen slammed his hand on the table: "Director Miao, first of all, every team member has the responsibility to carry out the mission and bear the risks. Secondly, this mission involves a fierce-level demon, and with Chong Tong as a teammate, the risks are manageable."

Miao Rui retorted sharply: "This demon has triggered an unprecedented rule alert; I think it's very dangerous! Moreover, Chong Tong is only a Tier 1 member; he lacks the strength to back him up. To Pei Zhaozhao, he's just a burden!"

Team Leader Chen said firmly, "A burden? The ability of double pupils is more useful than you think. Pei Zhaozhao is safer with him than with a Tier 2 transcendent! If you think my decision is wrong, then report it to headquarters!"

"Okay—" Miao Rui nodded when he saw that Captain Chen wouldn't listen to him, and left the office somewhat angrily.

Team Leader Chen leaned back in his chair, pondered for a moment, then picked up the phone and dialed.

"Hey, Crescent Moon—"

At 11:15, Du Wang and his companion arrived at the Brilliant Sunshine Amusement Park.

This amusement park was built 12 years ago and was a well-known amusement park in the southern part of the city at that time, with long queues often forming when it was open.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. With the emergence of larger and more exciting amusement parks, Brilliant Sunshine Amusement Park soon fell into a state of decline and losses.

Because they weren't making any money, the amusement park didn't dare to renovate the machines.

Without refurbishing the machines, you won't make any money.

The amusement park, caught in a vicious cycle, deteriorated day by day and eventually had to announce free admission, turning itself into a budget park where children could come in and the park could make a little money from the rides and grilled sausages.

Du Wang had visited this amusement park when he was a child, but now that he sees it again, everything has changed.

All the facilities were covered in mottled green and yellow rust. Whether it was the carousel or the pirate ship, they all creaked and groaned when they ran, making it seem like there was a high risk of danger.

As soon as the two rode their electric scooters into the amusement park from the entrance, they saw security personnel driving a group of parents and children out.

"The amusement park is temporarily closed! Everyone, please leave immediately!" The security guard announced over a loudspeaker.

Seeing Du and Wang rush straight into the amusement park, security personnel immediately ran over to stop them.

"Hey, didn't you hear? The amusement park is closed today."

Du Wang stopped his electric scooter, took out his ID card, and flicked it in his face.

"police!"

The security personnel were startled and quickly moved aside.

After Du Wang and his companion left, he muttered, "Why are they riding electric scooters when they're on duty? Are they fake cops?"

On the bus, Du Wang asked, "Where do you think the demons will appear?"

Mumu rested her chin on her hand and guessed, "Since demons like to appear in crowded places, let's just see which facility has the most people."

The sound of keyboard clicks filled the air, and then Wang Di said, "Currently, only two rides at this amusement park are the most popular."

"One is a Ferris wheel, the other is a haunted house maze."

"maze?"

"Yes, this is a new project introduced to the amusement park last year. It's actually a modified version of a haunted house, with all sorts of scary scenes inside."

At the time, the amusement park even hired many influencers to promote the project, saying that anyone who could navigate the maze within 10 minutes would receive a million-dollar prize.

"Did anyone win the prize money?" Mumu asked curiously.

"No, because the blogger said the maze keeps changing and it's hard to find the exit."

"Hopefully, the demons aren't in the labyrinth."

Although that's what they said, when they arrived at the Ferris wheel on their electric scooter, they didn't hear any ringing in their ears or see anything unusual.

"Let's go to the haunted house maze."

Du Wang glanced at the time; it was 11:22. The demons should have already appeared.

at the same time.

A young man wearing a baseball cap and a mask stood outside the amusement park wall, glanced around, then quickly climbed up a nearby tree and jumped into the amusement park.

He glanced at the security personnel still chasing away guests in the distance and said in a low voice.

"The ghost carriage, where are the demons?"

In the sky, the nine-headed bird emitted a silent cry.

Upon receiving the message, the young man walked quickly along the path to the other end of the amusement park.

"Double pupils, didn't expect that, did you? I've come looking for you." The young man grinned and muttered to himself.

Since his defeat in Yuzhen, Chi Pao has never stopped searching for double pupils.

If it weren't for him, the attack wouldn't have failed.

If it weren't for him, my identity wouldn't have been exposed.

Red Cannon's resentment towards this troublemaker even surpassed his covetousness for the mythical host.

So after receiving the photos yesterday, he activated the chess intelligence network to gather clues about the double pupils incident.

Unexpectedly, I'm so lucky that someone spotted double pupils today.

Based on the direction the other party was heading, Chi Pao easily guessed that their destination was the Brilliant Sunshine Amusement Park.

"This time, I won't let you escape again."

He sneered as he approached the haunted house maze.
