"There really are a lot of capable people in the Twelve Worlds Centrum."
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help sighing at Mrs. Manas as she watched the wall of the 4D Fantasy Arena open with a loud rumble.
Ever since she came out from the Haunted House of Dare Training on Swan Route, she followed the route that Aker had planned for her. She changed three routes in one go and completed the merry-go-round, the pirate ship, and the 4D Fantasy Arena on different routes. Just as Aker had predicted, she only spent a little over a day to complete the three attractions.
The reason why she was able to complete the three attractions so quickly was not because they were easy. Speaking of this, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help admiring Aker's meticulousness.
Other than Progressor Alliance, Puppeteer, and Santa Claus, there were also a few stragglers who had heard the news and entered the pocket dimension to train. Hei Zeji, for example, had entered the pocket dimension by accident and refused to leave. Aker had already instructed all the Growth-types to try their best to get information from them if they met such people. Furthermore, there were quite a number of members in Progressor Alliance. In other words, Aker had eyes and ears all over the amusement park.
With such a wealth of information as a backup, it was much easier for him to carry out his plan than Lin Sanjiu.
After asking Lin Sanjiu about the attractions that she had experienced before, Aker picked out three attractions that were similar to the ones she had experienced before. Furthermore, they were on routes with a large number of attractions. A large number of attractions usually meant that the difficulty of the attraction was relatively low.
Even though Aker didn't ask Lin Sanjiu directly, it was obvious that Aker had spent a lot of effort to analyze Lin Sanjiu. The attractions that he picked out were the ones that she could clear if she used her advantage. With all these conditions, it wasn't surprising that Lin Sanjiu could clear the attractions so quickly.
"This method is, after all, a cheap trick," Lin Sanjiu remembered Aker's stern warning before she left. "It's impossible to rely on this method to get to the finish line. At most, it can save you some time and help you catch up to Puppeteer a little faster. That's all. After all, none of us have reached the finish line. How are you going to proceed after you come out from the 4D Fantasy Arena? Even I don't know. "
But it was enough for him to make it this far.
Lin Sanjiu took a deep breath and walked out of the 4-D Fantasy Museum. Almost at the same time she stepped out of the museum, a figure the size of an insect appeared in the sky. That figure was moving at an incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, the flapping sound grew louder and louder, stopping on her outstretched arm and the two paper wings.
After the paper crane "confirmed" the receiver of the message, Aker's voice came from its body.
"… When you come out of the 4D illusion, you should be able to receive this message." Paper cranes could not enter the arena, so both of them would communicate with each other between each event. "Puppeteer's location hasn't changed. He's still on Pumpkin Route. He hasn't come out from the second last event yet. It seems like it's going to be difficult. Once you get there, you can wait for him."
After a simple "Okay", Lin Sanjiu released the paper crane. Even after the white origami bird disappeared from the blue sky, she did not move her feet.
She tilted her head and thought for a while. Then, she took out another paper crane from her card. Thanks to Santa Claus, she had gotten quite a number of these convenient origami birds so that she, the "bait", could report their coordinates.
"Um … Where are you now?"
Lin Sanjiu asked. She didn't know whether she should send the paper crane out or not. In the end, with some hesitation, Lin Sanjiu released the paper crane.
At first, she was a little worried that the paper crane wouldn't be able to receive it in the amusement park. Fortunately, she didn't have to wait long before the paper crane flew down from the blue sky and appeared in her field of vision.
It sounded like Hei Zeji was eating something.
"I'm on Velvet Cake Route. I think it's the fourth stage here." After he said that, Lin Sanjiu was certain that she heard the sound of a metal spoon hitting something from the paper crane. "What?"
Lin Sanjiu thought for a while. Then, she whispered something to the paper crane. When the paper crane disappeared into the sky for the second time, Lin Sanjiu let out a long sigh. At that moment, she couldn't help feeling a little envious of Aker's intelligence.
If only she had enough information to plan a shortcut, then it would be so much more convenient … But this time, she didn't have enough information. But this time, she couldn't ask Aker.
After all, she didn't know Aker very well, so she had to be cautious.
After sending out the paper crane, she did not receive a reply from Hei Zeji even after a long time. Perhaps she had taken too long and he had already entered one of the attractions. Or perhaps Hei Zeji's old habit was acting up again. "No one can make him say things that he doesn't think are necessary."
Lin Sanjiu knew that she couldn't wait any longer. Lin Sanjiu adjusted her breathing and walked forward.
According to Aker's calculations, Puppeteer should be in the next attraction.
The style of Pumpkin Route was different from the other routes she had seen before. It seemed to be in the style of Halloween. Fake spider webs and skulls were hung all over Pumpkin Route. The street lights on both sides of the route were also replaced by pumpkin lanterns with carved faces and candles. Occasionally, an automaton would jump out from the back of the shops or from a corner. If it wasn't for the fact that it was still bright outside, Lin Sanjiu would have already smashed them into pieces.
After Lin Sanjiu had made some preparations, Mrs. Manas muttered to herself in fear, "I wonder if your plan will be able to hold him off."
Rather than calling it a plan, it was more like a plan that Lin Sanjiu came up with on the spur of the moment. In any case, she had a plan to deal with Puppeteer. She also had a way out. All she needed now was Puppeteer...
After taking a few more steps, Lin Sanjiu's gaze fell on the attraction at the end of the route. Her heart thumped violently.
Compared to the other attractions, this attraction looked pitifully small. In fact, if it wasn't for the signboard that read "Cartoon World Experience", Lin Sanjiu would have thought that this was a washroom. There were two small rooms on the left and right that looked like a men's and women's washroom. They were connected by a short corridor. A guy who seemed to be the ticket seller was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the corridor. He looked as lifeless as the others.
"Is Puppeteer really in this small room?"
Lin Sanjiu walked slowly to the entrance of "Cartoon World Experience". Lin Sanjiu still felt a little surreal. She scanned her surroundings, feeling a little lost. However, the experience hall looked just like the other attractions in the amusement park. There was nothing special about it because of Puppeteer.
"Do you want to buy a ticket to enter?" The man sitting in the middle of the corridor raised his head. His chiseled face peeked out from under a red cap. He looked at Lin Sanjiu and said, "5 Stamina Points."
Even though Lin Sanjiu had agreed to hold Puppeteer back, she wasn't willing to try the Pumpkin Route on Puppeteer's difficulty.
"No, I won't buy a ticket for now." I won't buy a ticket for now. "She quickly waved her hand. Once this matter was over, she could go back and find another way to go." Excuse me, is there anyone inside now? "
"Yes," the ticket seller answered immediately, "Our attraction is very popular, especially among parents and children. They like to come and see Cartoon World."
This wasn't the first time Lin Sanjiu had heard this kind of advertisement. The Starry Carnival Amusement Park always liked to act like a normal amusement park. Lin Sanjiu looked the ticket seller up and down. She wasn't sure if he would be like the female ticket seller in the haunted house and refuse to tell her the truth. "Do you have a rule in this amusement park? You can't reveal your identity to others? "
"Well, no," the ticket seller shook his head.
Lin Sanjiu heaved a sigh of relief. She finally smiled. "Then, can you tell me who are the people inside that are trying to clear the level?"
The ticket seller stared at her for a while as if this was the first time he had heard such a question. Lin Sanjiu quickly added, "I went in recklessly. The difficulty is too high, and I can't take it." Only then did the red hat speak.
"There was a girl who went in this morning. She is the only person who went in for the past few days. The last person who went in was a guy five days ago. He hasn't come out since then … I guess he was too engrossed in the game. "
"A girl? Five days ago?
This doesn't fit Aker's information at all. Puppeteer from five days ago. " Lin Sanjiu was afraid that Puppeteer hadn't even reached this place yet.
"What kind of girl is she?" Lin Sanjiu suddenly recalled the secret about Puppeteer that she had unintentionally discovered. She asked suspiciously.
After all, [When the Spring Flowers Bloom, Your Laughter Melts the World] had reminded her that Puppeteer was only half a man … That was the reason why Puppeteer wanted to kill her.
"I can't stare at that girl all the time," the red hat said matter-of-factly. The Red Hat said matter-of-factly. "But he's really not good-looking. He has big bags under his eyes and his face is especially long. I don't know if he's good or not."
"That doesn't sound like Puppeteer's appearance."
Lin Sanjiu was immediately filled with suspicion. "Could that girl be a puppet?"
But that didn't make sense.
Puppeteer controlled a puppet, even if it had a consciousness like Bai Xiaoqiang, it couldn't change the fact that it was no longer an independent life form. Not to mention, it was still a part of Puppeteer's ability. Just like Lin Sanjiu's [Planar World] and Mrs. Manas in her mind, no matter how intelligent she was, she would not be recognized as an individual player by the amusement park. She would not be given a player number when she walked on the streets, and she could only be regarded as a vassal of the owner of the ability when she entered the attraction.
"If that's the case, there's only one explanation left." Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat. Without replying to the ticket seller, she turned and ran in the direction she came from. Even though it didn't make any sense, Aker must be lying!
She didn't know why he tricked her into coming to Pumpkin Route. She didn't know what was so special about her that he would spend so much effort on her. However, since Puppeteer wasn't here, she didn't know what kind of situation awaited her. She had to return to the previous venue and ask for a change of route!
However, after taking a few steps, Lin Sanjiu stopped abruptly.
Just like the other roads, Pumpkin Route had all sorts of shops. Lin Sanjiu scanned through the shops quickly before she dove into a barbeque shop. She kicked the glass door shut behind her so that she could block some of the passersby from entering the street.
"Name your price," Lin Sanjiu slammed the table filled with plates of meat the moment she barged in. As expected, the owner of the barbeque shop came out from behind the cashier counter. "I want the coordinates of a player!"
The owner of the barbeque shop was a petite woman with a charming face. She spoke unhurriedly. After scrutinizing Lin Sanjiu with a frown, the woman wiped her hands and walked out from behind the counter, "It seems like you've asked our colleagues about a player before."
"Yes," Lin Sanjiu didn't expect to run into a slow-witted woman. She suppressed her anxiety and spoke quickly, "Do you know the coordinates of a player? How much Stamina Points do you want? "
"You're lucky. I happen to know." After the owner said that, she found a chair and sat down gracefully, "It's not good for me to take your Stamina Points for free. Why don't you choose a plate of meat and grill a few of them? Then, we can talk."
It seemed that all the employees here prioritized "business" as their top priority. Even though Lin Sanjiu knew that she didn't have much time left, there was nothing she could do about the pocket dimension creatures in the amusement park. Suppressing her anger, she roasted a plate of pork neck that cost 15 Stamina Points and asked the lady boss, "Is this okay? I want to know about a person called Aker. Where is he now? "
"This player, he's on the Grizzly's Path, and he seems to be on his fifth project." The Lady Boss looked at her roasted meat, and finally spoke slowly.
Lin Sanjiu was stunned.
The last time she communicated with Aker, he said the same thing. Due to the planned route, it would be easier for him to gather the people from Progressor Alliance to pick Lin Sanjiu up after he came out of Grizzly Trail. In other words, his current location was part of the plan.
If Aker was still going according to plan …
Lin Sanjiu shuddered. She was a little afraid of the second thought that popped into her mind.
"Then … I have another person that I want to ask you about." She subconsciously lowered her voice. "Do you know a player called Puppeteer? Where is he now? "
The lady boss, who was still charming, didn't answer. She just tilted her head and looked behind her.
Lin Sanjiu's heart sank.
"Turn around." The shop owner's rosy lips spat out this sentence. "He's outside the door." (To be continued.)
