Night’s Nomenclature

Chapter 935: The End

A voice spoke out of nowhere in the maze, sounding particularly jarring in the empty haunted house labyrinth.

“Look, this person died so miserably.”

“Eh?”

The voice abruptly stopped.

Qing Chen frowned, looking towards the source of the sound. It was too far away, and he couldn’t make out what they were saying.

If it weren’t for his Dragon Fish-enhanced hearing, he wouldn’t have heard these sounds at all.

But who would suddenly come to the haunted house maze at this time? Logically, everyone who arrived with him should be dead by now.

Moreover, these people didn’t seem to have come from outside; instead, they were more like ghosts who had always been in the amusement park!

Qing Chen immediately took Chen Yu back, searching for the source of the previous voices, but found nothing.

Was it auditory hallucinations caused by mental pollution? Could it be that he had violated the rules again when he passed through the roller coaster turnstile, causing him to be mentally polluted again? But when he found his kayak, he suddenly discovered that its position had been moved.

The other party had picked up the kayak, realizing something was wrong and carefully putting it back. But for Qing Chen, moving it was moving it; no one could put it back perfectly in its original place.

Furthermore, all the corpses embedded in the walls of this maze had disappeared, as if some unknown presence had dragged them into the dark abyss.

Qing Chen looked around. He remembered the green eyeballs he had seen in the turnstile earlier, and the low laughter coming from the mountain walls in the canyon when he first entered the Ginkgo Amusement Park. Could it be that there really were ghosts living in this amusement park?

The next moment, Qing Chen sat sideways on the back of Qing Niu and flew up, overlooking the entire maze. Still nothing.

At this moment, Qing Chen was sitting on Qing Niu’s back, Chen Yu was clutching the bull’s hoof, and he was still carrying a kayak. It looked as comical as it could be.

He shouted into the empty maze: “Don’t run! Come out and talk! How do you get out of this haunted house!”

But no ghost came to answer him. “The sudden appearance and disappearance of these ghosts suggests that there’s an entrance and exit within the haunted house maze itself,” Qing Chen judged. “Could it be an employee passage?”

The next moment, Qing Chen began to wander back and forth through the maze with Chen Yu. He was going to use the method of comparing memories to see if anything was different after those ghosts had been there. The first day passed without any discovery. Qing Chen sighed as he sat in the maze: “Chen Yu, brother, we’re trapped here!”

Chen Yu: “…”

Qing Chen: “Are you hungry? If you don’t speak, it means you’re not hungry. Then I’ll just eat some of the things in your bag.”

Chen Yu: “…”

Qing Chen took out a piece of beef jerky from his bag, tearing it apart as he ate and pondering clues.

He had to find a way out as soon as possible. He didn’t know if Dayu had escaped yet. If Puppeteer Zong Cheng was well-prepared, then Dayu and Zard would be in danger. If Dayu woke up again and turned into Xiaoyu, the situation would be even more dangerous.

Qing Chen looked at Chen Yu and complained: “You don’t even manage the Chen Family carefully; you didn’t even know that it was infiltrated by the Puppeteer! Now, look, we’re fighting for our lives here, and others are getting the benefit!”

Chen Yu: “…”

Qing Chen found himself getting verbose again. He knew this was the prelude to mental pollution.

This time, he carefully reviewed the clues about the roller coaster again. “If you mistakenly enter the roller coaster area, please close your eyes tightly, hold your companion’s hand, and walk backward. If you don’t have a companion, open your eyes and take the roller coaster to the exit quickly. Remember, don’t blink. The amusement park doesn’t have a haunted house area. If you see a haunted house, don’t enter it. Immediately go to the roller coaster area on the left and take the roller coaster to the exit.”

This sentence was the key.

He had just held Chen Yu’s hand and walked backward once, and it was still useless.

The biggest rule point in the entire roller coaster and haunted house area was the use of light and shadow.

Qing Chen and Chen Yu sat dryly on the roller coaster.

During this time, his heart ghosts began to appear gradually. Shendai Yunhe and the others were gone, leaving only some insignificant followers.

Qing Chen didn’t take them seriously.

At 12 noon, the roller coaster’s shadow was still projected on the ground, and it was still chaotic and didn’t show any logic.

He and Chen Yu basked in the sun, both of their lips cracked.

At 6 p.m., as the sun was about to set, the roller coaster track that was circling in the air actually cast circles of shadows on the ground, forming a huge gecko silhouette.

Qing Chen ran over and threw the Wishing Cards into the lizard’s mouth. The lizard actually opened its mouth and stuck out its tongue, wanting to swallow all his heart ghosts at once.

Qing Chen was furious and directly drew out his black knife and slashed at the lizard’s tongue, cutting its tongue off.

“You bastards,” Qing Chen looked around, “Can this broken amusement park trap have any more tricks?”

Now it seemed that to leave here, he had to try sitting on the roller coaster.

But how to choose between the two forks?

Wait, Qing Chen recalled the previous information: If you see a haunted house, don’t enter it. Immediately go to the roller coaster area on the left and take the roller coaster to the exit.

The most important information here is the left side.

When the sun shone from the left side of the maze, the shadows of the maze walls would appear on the left, and the roller coaster would be on the left of the haunted house.

And this definition of left and right wasn’t based on the visitors; the reference object was the huge gecko in the haunted house maze!

Only during this time period would the roller coaster choose the correct one of the two exits. Qing Chen glanced at the sky. Now was the time!

He bet!

He dragged the kayak and urged Chen Yu to sit on the roller coaster with him, while the shadow dragged the kayak and sat in the back.

The entire roller coaster area suddenly rang with cheerful music, and the roller coaster slowly started. Qing Chen and Chen Yu raised their hands at the same time to hold open their eyelids.

It looked like two fools.

The roller coaster whizzed along the track, and Qing Chen screamed as if he were really playing a roller coaster in an amusement park.

But the roller coaster turned through one big turntable after another and plunged into a hole on the left. There were totems in the hole, and when Qing Chen opened his eyes and stared intently at the totems, he suddenly entered the strange dream he had been in on the carousel.

It turned out that the reason not to blink was to not miss this totem!

In the dream.

Qing Chen was still standing under the huge ginkgo tree, watching Qing Zhen, Qing Shen, Luo Lan, and Zhou Qi sitting aside, leisurely roasting fish.

At this time, three more people came from a distance. Qing Chen had seen them all in historical materials: Ren Xiaosu, the principal of Ember Military Academy P5092, and Li Shentan.

Qing Zhen said, “Li Shentan, this is an amusement park. Why are you always thinking about killing people?” Li Shentan replied with a smile, “This is a divine dojo. In the future, countless people with malicious intentions will come here. What if they use this place to do bad things? Don’t worry, those who die deserve to die. People who don’t kill, even if they have mental pollution, it won’t be too serious. They’ll be fine after leaving the amusement park for a while. You called me here; I have to do something. I only know how to do magic tricks and hypnotic killing.”

Ren Xiaosu asked, “Are the rules all set?”

Qing Zhen nodded, “The information that should be told to him has already been told to him. Whether he can pass the level depends entirely on himself.”

Ren Xiaosu asked, “We built this amusement park. We have to give some rewards for clearing the level, so what’s the reward for clearing the level?”

Qing Zhen thought for a moment and looked up, “Before you go to travel the world, leave your spirit temple behind. Whoever clears the level will have the right to receive them.”

“Why are you always trying to get my attention?” Ren Xiaosu laughed and cried, “Besides, the spirit temple is very important. It houses 200,000 soldiers from the Northwest Army, including Zhang Xiaoman, Dahuyu, and T5 Sequence Warriors. If someone very smart but unscrupulous clears the level, wouldn’t the world be in chaos?”

Qing Zhen said seriously, “Then let Zhang Xiaoman and the others vote to decide whether this person can receive the spirit temple. In that case, we need to add an extra reward for clearing the level.”

Qing Shen smiled, “Take my Forbidden Artifact. If someone clears the level, the amusement park will belong to him.”

Ren Xiaosu pondered for a moment and said, “The mystery of becoming a god can also be given.”

Luo Lan was dissatisfied, “Only Knights can become gods. This is partial; isn’t this a reward specially reserved for Knights?”

At this time, Li Shentan suddenly turned to look at Qing Chen, “Then let’s also give you the Forbidden Artifact extracted from my grandfather.”

Qing Chen woke up.

Ren Xiaosu’s spirit temple.

The secret to becoming a god.

Li Shentan’s grandfather’s Forbidden Artifact.

These three rewards were substantial enough.

After all, Hu Shuo was the founder of the Hu Family Intelligence Agency. Boss He’s heart sword had nineteen blades, but the historical record of Hu Shuo was twenty-four!

What kind of Forbidden Artifact would be extracted from such a Demi-God ceiling!

Moreover, there were 200,000 immortal and invincible Northwest Army soldiers in Ren Xiaosu’s spirit temple!

But the most important thing was that Qing Zhen said that the rules for clearing the level were already included in the previous information. Those who could reach this point already had the qualifications to clear the level.

At this moment, the roller coaster rumbled out of the tunnel, and with a click, the seat belts of Qing Chen and Chen Yu came undone.

“Congratulations on clearing the level! The water in the single-plank bridge area can be used for more than just drinking!”

Qing Chen suddenly heard the sound of rushing water.

He suddenly looked up, and there was a steel cable several kilometers long in front of him, suspended above a rushing river. Countless crocodile backs were floating in the river. This wasn’t a single-plank bridge; it was clearly a tightrope walk.

But Qing Chen didn’t continue to move forward; instead, he seriously thought about what Qing Zhen had said: The rules for clearing the level have all been told to you.

He suddenly said, “It seems we don’t need to go any further.”

Qing Chen asked Chen Yu to use the kayak to scoop up a whole boatload of water from the river, and then they started to return!

Chen Yu was slowly following behind him, holding up the kayak with both hands.

At this time, Chen Yu had been angered to the point of losing his mind. He felt that Qing Chen was deliberately torturing him; otherwise, why would this kid bother to get so much water?

At the same time, more than 600 Chen Chuanzhi were following behind him, constantly cursing him.

One Chen Chuanzhi shouted, “Useless! Where is your demeanor as a Chen Family Demi-God now? You’re nothing but this kid’s slave!”

“Why don’t you talk back!”

The Chen Chuanzhi even expected to interact with Chen Yu, but Chen Yu couldn’t do anything…

It was so miserable.

Qing Chen quickly retreated with him. When they arrived at the turnstile in the single-plank bridge area, he asked Chen Yu to pour some water from the kayak and quickly fill the 4000-milliliter stone jar.

With a ding, the turnstile opened.

Only then did Chen Yu understand that Qing Chen had asked him to hold the kayak filled with river water to fill the stone jar!

Previously, Chen Yu’s impression of Qing Chen was that this kid was very cunning and very fierce, but only after truly fighting with Qing Chen once could one truly appreciate the opponent’s ability to lay out strategies during battle.

The magic trick in the haunted house maze still made Chen Yu feel suffocated. The opponent had only acted, and he actually believed that the opponent had found a way out.

Qing Chen quickly retreated level by level with Chen Yu. At this time, he already understood the function of the kayak. This thing was used by those tourists who suddenly realized how to clear the level to retreat from various levels!

It was because the exit to clear the level wasn’t at the end of the amusement park, but at the beginning of the amusement park!

Single-plank bridge, Ferris wheel, bumper cars, rafting area.

Qing Chen looked at the words on the stone tablet in the rafting area and suddenly burst into laughter: “Ginkgo Rafting Park, giving you surprises every time you come!”

At that time, Doggy had complained, “I’d rather be dead than come again,” but Qing Chen realized at this time that the stone tablet had already hinted that they would be back again.

Because the exit to clear the level was here.

Therefore, each level would set up a mechanism that could retreat by filling a 4000-milliliter liquid container.

Therefore, the clearance prompt for the carousel area is to use the kayak with confidence. As one of the only three props in the entire amusement park, the kayak is indeed very crucial.

Killing a companion and letting blood is the stupidest way. Using a kayak is the king!

Qing Chen put the kayak in the water and paddled one each with Chen Yu, heading upstream.

Chen Yu was a little confused. Was this kid going to paddle directly to the carousel area and directly retreat?

However, when the two of them had retreated for a long time, Chen Yu suddenly saw the first lighthouse in the rafting area.

Qing Chen laughed and looked at Chen Yu, “The clearance prompt for the big swing area is that when you see the light, you are about to reach the end.”

At that time, Qing Chen thought that this sentence was hinting at how to reach the exit of the dark slide, but now he understood that it wasn’t hinting at the clearance information of the next level, but the clearance information of the entire amusement park!

When did they see the first ray of light? It was on the rafting river when they saw the first lighthouse.

And on this first lighthouse, there were several large characters written: End, 50 kilometers ahead.

At first glance at this lighthouse, Qing Chen thought it was Ren Xiaosu who deliberately set up such a thing to disgust people.

But in this amusement park, where are there useless facilities or useless prompts?

Therefore, the end written on the lighthouse, 50 kilometers ahead, didn’t refer to the end of the rafting area, but the end of the amusement park!

Chen Yu stared blankly. He didn’t expect that Qing Chen had actually found a way to clear the level!
