"Xu Lang, I warn you! Debt repayment. Tomorrow before noon, if I can't get any more money, you will obediently sign this land transfer contract!" ”

Qiu Peiren put down this sentence and left with the gang of thugs scolding.

Xu Lang got up from the ground, spat a mouthful of bloody saliva, and sat back in his chair.

Qiu Peiren is right, it is natural to repay debts.

But do you really want to give up the playground to others?

"No! This is the only thought my parents left me, and no one can take it away! ”

Xu Lang clenched his fists and slammed them on the armrest of the chair.

At this time, it is sunset, the sunset hangs on the horizon, and the pale yellow sunlight falls on the amusement park, leaving a little dappled shadow.

The cool breeze blew, and Qianqiu not far away moved with the wind, swaying gently, like a lonely and confused little girl. From time to time, a few dog barks can be heard, which seems to tell about the glory of the past.

Once upon a time, it was the largest, most well-equipped, and most attractive amusement park within a radius of 100 miles, and it was also on the Donghai City TV station. However, with the industrial development of the surrounding land, coupled with poor management and aging equipment, the business of the amusement park is not getting worse day by day.

Xu Lang also persuaded his parents to end it. But since his parents disappeared for no reason five years ago, Xu Lang has changed his mind. No matter how hard it is, he has to keep this playground running.

For this reason, he eats and lives in the playground every day.

However, due to the dilapidated and outdated amusement facilities and remote location, there are no tourists who come here anymore.

In order to save expenses, Xu Lang went from reducing staff to laying off employees to finally shouldering it himself, but the monthly maintenance expenses of this playground are like a black hole that can never be filled, swallowing up all his savings over the years.

At this time, Uncle Qiu Peiren, my father's old friend, appeared in time! In this era when private equity frequently runs away and P2P explodes every three or five thunderstorms, Uncle Qiu lends himself money again and again, so that his family's playground continues to survive, Xu Lang thanked his father's friend from the bottom of his heart at first.

But soon, Qiu Peiren's true purpose was exposed, from the beginning of the low-interest borrowing. The more he borrowed, the more he borrowed, the higher the interest rate rolled over, forcing Xu Lang to sign an agreement with him. Once Xu Lang can't repay the monthly interest, according to the loan agreement, he will transfer the playground to Qiu Peiren to pay off the debt.

This month, he has to repay Qiu Peiren with 10,000 yuan in interest.

But at this moment, let alone 10,000 yuan, even 3,000 yuan, he can't take it out! Otherwise, how could he be humiliated by Qiu Peiren's group beating just now!

……

It was getting dark.

Xu Lang, who had been sitting in the chair for an unknown amount of time, stood up and stiffly rearranged the things that had been turned over all over the ground by the thugs.

"Squeaky ......"

The door to the utility room moved.

Xu Lang turned around and was about to close the door, but as soon as he walked to the door, he was attracted by a dark box in the middle of the utility room.

The utility room is separated from the office, has no windows, and is very dark.

Xu Lang raised his hand to turn on the light to see clearly, and after pressing it twice, he found that he hadn't entered this room for too long, and he didn't know when the light was broken.

In desperation, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and walked towards the pile of things by the dim light of the mobile phone.

"Is this the computer that my dad used back then?"

Xu Lang found that the box contained an old-fashioned computer, and the plastic casing was tinged with an aged waxy yellow.

"Squeaky ......"

A faint cold wind blew, and the door to the utility room rang again.

A piece of paper stuck to the back of the monitor was also blown up a corner by the wind. Xu Lang subconsciously stretched out his hand and lifted it, and when he got it in front of him, he looked at the faint light of the mobile phone screen, and then he was so frightened that his scalp was numb.

It turned out that what he removed from the back of the monitor was a yellow talisman paper, which was full of blood characters like ghost drawings.

So wicked?

Xu Lang suddenly felt a little cold on his back, and seemed to have a pair of eyes looking at him.

He jerked around! Nothing!

Scare yourself.

Xu Lang let out a breath, and simply moved the computer to the desk outside with the box, he wanted to turn on the computer and take a look, but he couldn't find the power cord.

Hiss......

At this moment, a turquoise flame suddenly burst out on the rune paper that he had casually placed on the table!

By the time he could react, the paper had completely burned to ashes. The ashes, still with a little bit of spark, were blown by the wind and landed on the back of his hand, burning his arm. He quickly slapped the ashes away, only to see a strange and indescribable scar on his arm.

"Gurgling ......"

He grabbed the cup on the table, poured a glass of cold water, and tried to calm himself.

"Huh?"

Before the water was drunk, Xu Lang's whole person seemed to be frozen.

His eyes were fixed on the monitor, goosebumps popped up instantly, and the monitor lit up!

It was quiet all around, so quiet that you could hear the heartbeat of "dong dong".

"Who, who's pretending to be a ghost."

Xu Lang stared at the inexplicably lit display screen tightly, always feeling that there was something strange and was paying close attention to him.

The monitor was still glowing, and at this moment, a dialog box appeared on the screen that flashed with snowflakes -

"System Name: Late Night Park."

"System Attributes: Terror."

"How it works: By performing quests, getting rewards, and completing quest scenes, it will become a part of your paradise."

"System Upgrade: Any intimidation related to the Midnight Park can generate Terror Points, and getting enough Terror Points can upgrade the Midnight Park and get unexpected real-world rewards."

"Special note: the amusement park you run has no possibility of resurrection, and only by promising me can it be possible to save the park."

"Answer me, would you like to be involved in the construction of the Late Night Park?"

Xu Lang looked at these words and didn't react for most of the day.

Is this the game? A game of horror attributes?

But the game seems to understand his current situation. By magic, he used his old keyboard, which was missing a few keys, to type words into the input box.

"I do."

After a pause of a second, text reappeared in the dialog.

"Congratulations on becoming a gamer of this system, in this game, you will experience the most wonderful experience in the world - horror."

Wow......

A prompt sound came from the system, and Xu Lang found that there were two more options on the dialog box, namely terror value and map.

He clicked on Terror first, and when he entered, he found that the current Terror value was 1 point.

Next to it, there is also the source of this horror value: "Late Night Paradise gets 1 horror point by intimidating the owner Xu Lang." ”

"This ......" Xu Lang's heart trembled violently, remembering the scene of being intimidated by that rune paper just now.

Below, there is another line of special instructions: "Late Night Park obtains terror points by directly or indirectly intimidating others, and when the owner is frightened, the terror points obtained are only one-tenth of the standard value." ”

To make it clear, when he receives intimidation, he can also gain terror points, but in very small amounts, probably to prevent cheating.

"Maps?" Xu Lang exited the horror value option, entered the map option, and saw a top view of the Late Night Park.

From the top view, you can see that only two places are lit, one is his office building, which is labeled 'Ghost King's Palace', and the other is the gate of the paradise, which is marked 'Ghost Gate', and other places are dark.

At this moment, the glass of the window "snapped". Xu Lang frowned, walked to the window, and opened the curtains. It is a location with excellent height and angle to have an unobstructed view of the amusement park.

The lights outside were still there, but the facilities inside the amusement park were gone, leaving only an empty area, and at a glance, there was only a fog and nothing.

"It can't ......"

Xu Lang rushed out of the office building, and it was still an endless night, as if he was in a different dimension. He suddenly felt that there seemed to be something more around him, and turned to look.

A pitch-black stone tablet more than three meters tall stands at the entrance of the amusement park, with the words 'Midnight Paradise' written in blood-red letters, and in addition, there is a huge skull, which looks particularly terrifying.

He touched it, it was cold and real! Xu Lang's scalp couldn't help but tingle, he immediately returned to the office and typed text in the input box: "What's going on?" What about my amusement park? ”

"What you see is what 'Midnight Paradise' will look like in the future, because you haven't performed a mission yet, you can't get system rewards, so it's a dark and unknown territory. At present, except for this office building, the rest of the projects have not been opened. It takes your efforts to build a late-night park, and as for the stone tablet placed at the door, it is an unconditional gift from the system to newbies, and it is the façade of your opening. ”

After Xu Lang finished reading it, he touched his chin, which seemed a bit like the "Red Alert" he played when he was a child, constantly mining and building a base.

It turns out that the principle of this game is similar to that of Red Alert, except that the tasks that need to be performed must be realistic.

"Then I'll carry out the mission now." Xu Lang has a hunch that this game can save the current amusement park from the predicament.

"Don't worry, you first register the relevant information, among them, the online banking account number and mobile phone number must be real, which involves your tasks and rewards."

Immediately afterwards, a page for filling in the information appeared, and Xu Lang immediately filled in the information and pressed the save button.

"Congratulations to player Xu Lang, who has officially entered the horror game of Late Night Park. The late-night park system is open from 8 p.m. to 3 a.m., and the same is true for the real-life late-night park business hours. The rest of the time, the system will contact you on your phone if necessary, but you won't be able to talk to the system. ”

"I know it all, I'm on a mission now."

Xu Lang is not interested in these, just like many players, when he starts to play the same APP, he directly skips the links that users need to know.

"Starter Mission: A Journey to the River Styx."

"Mission requirements: From eight o'clock tonight to three o'clock in the morning, go to the artificial lake of the park in the middle of the night, and use the pedal boat to go around the artificial lake to complete the task."

"Task reward: 10,000 yuan."

"Special note: you will encounter a lot of unpredictable things during this time, please keep a huge heart."

"Excuse me, do you want to accept the assignment?"

Xu Lang didn't think about it, accepted the task, looked at the time, there was less than half an hour before the start of the task, he turned out the contents of the refrigerator, made a bowl of egg noodles, and after eating, took a shower and changed clothes. This is the first task he started, and he must pay attention to it, if the task fails, there will be no money to return to Qiu Peiren tomorrow.

To be on the safe side, he brought a cell phone, a lighter, a folding knife, a baseball bat, and a searchlight.
