Chapter 34: A Journey to Hell on a Roller Coaster
At the entrance of the amusement park, Jiqi looked at the steel rails that circled and folded in the air, like a roller coaster of a flying dragon speeding on the tracks, and the screams from above spread one after another along the tracks.
This is on the edge of the small town of Heidelberg, with the Atlantic Ocean nearby. Take the giant Ferris wheel at the entrance of the amusement park here, slowly rise to the air, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the window through the glass window, the blue ocean, endless, endless, the summer sun shines directly, shining on the water surface through the reflection of the waves, and there are bursts of silver light on the sea surface, like the scales of the sea dragon, all over the ocean.
What Jiqi is not good at dealing with is this kind of thrilling sports and entertainment, and of course, this scary roller coaster. Because he doesn't have an adventurous personality in his bones, when he saw the person sitting on the roller coaster screaming in midair, Jiqi decisively chose to retreat, without waiting for Saratoga to speak, and directly chose the safest and most secure amusement ride in the name of the Admiral - the Ferris wheel. The 30-meter-high roulette wheel stands at the doorway supported by a steel frame, like a slow giant, holding visitors in his solid and broad arms, and leading them to climb slowly with strong hands to enjoy the scenery in the air.
Jiqi sat by the window, overlooking the whole town. Since the ship's girls didn't want to be separated from themselves, Jiqi deliberately chose a large multi-person cockpit, which was large enough to accommodate a group of five.
"Commander, Commander, how about we go on a roller coaster ride after we go down?" Saratoga pointed at the dragon speeding in front of her through the window, looking excited, "It feels so exciting!" ”
Jiqi covered his face helplessly, in the face of Saratoga's proposal, he didn't know what else to say, this is really a pot that doesn't mention which pot, don't you see the deep fear in Admiral's eyes? Jiqi muttered in his heart.
"Well, you can ask the other people's opinions." He didn't give a direct answer, but left the decision to the Lexington women. Jiqi knew that if he refused, according to Saratoga's character, he would definitely pester himself to ask the reason, and it would be impossible to say to her directly, you admonished me to be cowardly, and I would not dare to ride such a dangerous and exciting flying car. If you answer like this, the perfect admiral image that you have built up with great difficulty will be ruined and will no longer exist. Moreover, the most important thing is that men can't say no, especially in front of girls, and they must not admit it. It's a big deal to sacrifice your life to accompany the gentleman and experience the pleasure of weightlessness and overweight, too, it's not impossible...... OK. Jiqi broke the jar in his heart, and cried and let out a mournful cry.
"Sister, what do you think?" Saratoga turned to Lexington for help.
"I think?" Lexington pressed his chin in thought, and Jiqi, who was sitting across from her, kept winking at her, motioning not to agree. But she smiled slyly, like a football, and threw the problem again. "You ask Sister Wales if she agrees, and if she agrees, we'll go on a roller coaster ride."
"Sister Wales, what do you think of my proposal?" Saratoga continued to ask, there is a great tendency that the heart of the Yellow River will not die.
As if it had been discussed, as soon as he came out of the cinema, Lexington kept his distance from himself, regained his usual dignity and virtuousness, took the hands of his sister Saratoga and Noah's Ark, and walked in front without looking back, leaving Wales and himself alone space.
Along the way, Wales took her hand and didn't say a word, and there was no joy or sorrow in her delicate countenance. However, Jiqi could still feel the slightest hint of sadness, and although she didn't say it, the clenching of her little hand and the cold sweat in her palm proved that Wales's heart was not as calm as she seemed on the surface.
She should have seen it, everything that happened in the movie theater, she just didn't say it. Set prayers and ask yourself. He didn't know what to say or do about the situation, and although he was well-read, it didn't make the slightest difference when it came to the critical moment. No matter how rich the theoretical knowledge of some things is, when it comes to practice, it is still a soft-footed shrimp.
After sitting on the Ferris wheel, Lexington was surprisingly well-behaved, and instead of sticking to himself, he pulled Noah's Ark to sit on the opposite side, and made eye contact with Wales with a smile, as if he had reached some kind of consensus. Wales smiled and pulled his arm in contentment, exactly like what happened on the cinema screen. Jiqi once again felt the same soft touch, but he was not at all helpless in the face of the witch, his face was red and his heart was beating, and there was only a faint warmth and beauty, like the afternoon sun, lazily straight into his heart.
So when Saratoga put the choice in the hands of Wales, Jiqi breathed a sigh of relief, he tilted his head slightly, and whispered in Wales' ear, "Don't promise her, I'm afraid to sit on that thing." ”
But Wales, as if he had not heard, turned a deaf ear, and without a little consideration, said cheerfully: "Flying cars? Sounds like a lot of fun, so let's go sit down later. I don't think the Admiral would say no, right? After speaking, he looked at the admiral in his arms with soft and sharp eyes, and his tone was so numb that he had goosebumps.
Saratogamo, who received an affirmative answer, shook the arm of the Admiral beside him excitedly, motioning for him to give the final order.
Jiqi smiled helplessly, like a helpless king finally put pen to paper. "Good...... Well, since everyone likes it, then that's it...... That's right. As if he had found the last savior, Jiqi once again ignited the hope of struggle, and said righteously, "Noah's Ark, you haven't expressed your opinion yet, after all, it is now everyone's entertainment, and I, as the Admiral, will never ignore the opinions of the minority because of the majority." I don't think you like that kind of thrilling exercise, and you will definitely refuse our proposal! It must be so! ”
Jiqi was full of hope, but Noah's Ark was unmoved, did not buy it at all, stroked the short hair in his ears, smiled, and ruthlessly extinguished this last glimmer of hope. "I like exciting sports the most." The answer was simple and clear, but it went straight to the heart, causing the monarch who refused to give the edict to fall to the ground in an instant. At that moment, Jiqi felt that she was not an ark to save the suffering at all, but a fallen Lucifer, flapping her dark wings and showing a demonic smile.
Sighing helplessly, as if spitting out all his hope, Ji Qi smiled awkwardly, the corners of his mouth twitching. "Since everyone agrees with it...... So unified, let's go together. The last few words used up all his strength, and after saying that, Ji Qi was like a dog resigned to his fate, leaning on the soft leather cushion behind him, and collapsed on the seat.
Wales, who had succeeded in revenge, covered his mouth and chuckled, following Lexington's example, blowing in his ear along Jiqi's arm. "This is retribution, I can see every move you and her in the cinema clearly, I agreed with her, you belonged to him in the first two hours, and now you are the king's person, how can the king's decision be shaken because of you, the cook!" After speaking, he hummed and laughed, and his eyes were like crescents.
Feed! Did you ask my opinion by dividing me in half like this? Gather prayers and shout in your heart. However, he also guessed the intimate transaction between the two, after all, as soon as he walked out of the movie theater, Lexington showed a look of I didn't know you, like a ruthless husband afterwards, and pushed himself into her arms. If you don't give money, you won't believe it! Jiqi showed a slightly helpless expression, just now it was a plaything in the hands of the witch, and now he has become the royal chef at the feet of the prince. Is there still heavenly reason, and there is still a royal law!
Jiqi looked at the slowly sinking scenery outside the window, his eyes frightened. Eventually, the giant stopped spinning, ending his aerial tour. Saratoga took the lead, sprinting out of the cockpit and heading straight for the roller coaster in front of her. Ji Qi shrank behind, followed with numb legs and feet, and looked at the roller coaster that flashed in front of him like a galloping horse, revealing a look of despair.
——————————————————————————————————————————————————
Alton Towers Amusement Park Ride Entertainment Area
Jiqi uneasiduously steps on the train to hell. This is a more exciting presence of Bipu through the roller coaster, which is completely suspended underneath without any support, and several thick brackets hold the person to the chair.
Ji Qi grabbed the armrests on his shoulders tightly, and looked straight ahead with a pale face, he didn't dare to let go, for fear of being thrown out in mid-air and smashed to the ground. He turned his head to glance at Wales, and saw that she was fearless, like a brave Valkyrie standing at the front line with a sword in hand, her long golden hair fluttering in the wind, adding to her heroism. And he is just a pawn hiding behind her with the idea of running away and trembling on his legs, and he doesn't have the courage to take up arms to face the cruel reality.
He took a deep breath, knowing that he had no way back now, he had come up, sat down, and fastened the safety buckle, so he couldn't jump down and say I wasn't playing, and the only thing he could do now was to calm his thumping heart and relax as much as possible, so that his face screaming in mid-air would not be so ugly.
Anyway, just this time, Jiqi sighed and accepted his fate in his heart.
He let his right hand hold on to the handle, and across the negligible distance between the two men, he grabbed Wales' smooth, white wrist and extended it upwards to grasp her soft boneless palm. It was as if he had grasped a lifeline and completely surrendered himself to Wales.
There's no amusement park yet, and there's not a two-hour deadline, so I'm still a girl, and in that case you have to hold on to me, just like I did with you, and don't let go. Ji Qi turned his head and looked at Wales, whose face was slightly flushed, and felt that she was gradually holding her palm harder, and her face showed a reassuring expression.
After the staff checked, the entrance and exit were closed, and the roller coaster vibrated violently and slowly started into the acceleration phase. Slowly climbed up the steep slope in front of me. As the clock ticks by, the roller coaster climbs to the highest point in the park, and when you look back, you can see the Ferris wheel below. But Jiqi didn't dare to turn his head, he stared ahead with wide eyes, clutching Wales and waiting for hell to come.
In an instant, it was as if the world had collapsed. The strong gravitational acceleration pressed Jiqi hard against the back of the chair, unable to move. The wind whistling in my ears blew and hurt my face. The violent air currents in front of him hit the face, and it was suffocatingly thick. His feet soared into the air, dancing with the twist of the steel dragon, trembling like a broken metronome.
What kind of roller coaster is this, it's obviously an airplane without a cockpit, or a supersonic one. On such a high-speed flying car, Jiqi couldn't help but open his mouth wide and let out a painful wail. The strong wind pours down the esophagus into the lung cavity, sweeps it around and then discharges quickly, and the cycle repeats without stopping.
The clouds overhead, the blue sky, the sparkling silver ocean in the distance, and the ground that could crash into it at any moment, the different scenes intertwined wildly in the retina, like a spinning kaleidoscope, dazzling those who walk through it.
Jiqi helplessly grasped the only straw in his palm. In this crazy journey, he only felt that time had passed, the vicissitudes of time, as if everything had stopped in this extremely fast flying train. He tilted his head in fear, his golden hair trembling in the air like his jumbled heartstrings, rippling in the wind.
