Chapter 10: The Curse of the Endless Cycle
Beep beep!
The evil spirit plan in Ding Cheng's hand continued to scream loudly.
"What does that mean?"
Ding Cheng looked at the hands on the dial in confusion, and the direction of the pointers was ...... Ellie?
"Honey, the Ferris wheel is about to turn around, let's get ready to go down." Ellie said as she shook Ding Cheng's hand.
"Uh-huh." Ding Cheng decided not to care about the evil spirit plan anymore, and waited for the Ferris wheel to get off, and everything would be fine.
The Ferris wheel slowly slowed down, descended to the landing point, paused for a second, and then suddenly accelerated up.
?
Ding Cheng looked out at the guardrail, watching the cockpit get farther and farther away from the ground, and the Ferris wheel did not stop.
"What's going on. I remember that the table below said that it would turn every ten minutes. ”
"Maybe it's a mechanical breakdown?" Ellie was also a little panicked, maintaining her composure: "Or else we have to wait for the next round?" ”
"That's all there is to it now." Ding Cheng said gloomily.
"Let's remember the time this time and give me my phone."
"Oh, good." Ding Cheng took out his mobile phone and handed it to Ellie.
Ellie smiled secretly, skillfully turned on the timing software, and put the screen up to face Ding Cheng:
"Then I'll start the timer."
……
Ten minutes passed.
……
Twenty minutes passed.
The Ferris wheel shows no signs of stopping, it always slices across the landing site at the end of the ten minutes, and then rises with an eerie acceleration into the next cycle.
"This Ferris wheel won't stop, will it?" Ding Cheng thought in a broken heart.
At this time, something happened that allowed him to expand the area of collapse. Ellie nudged his shoulder and pointed to the back of the cockpit, "Honey, there seems to be someone else on this Ferris wheel." ”
The little girl who was holding the bear doll on the other side of the river just now appeared in the cockpit behind Ding Cheng in the same posture, she sat obediently and tilted her head to look at Ding Cheng.
"When did she come up?" Ellie frowned curiously, stood up and waved at her: "Little sister......"
"Don't move!" Ding Cheng shouted Ellie:
"She's not a little girl at all."
"Not a little girl?" Ellie lowered her hand in surprise
The girl looked at Ding Cheng and raised the corners of her mouth mockingly.
Then it disappeared with a bang.
A piece of paper, along the gap in the window glass, swayed and fell onto the floor next to Ding Cheng.
What is it?
Ding Cheng picked up the piece of paper left by the girl, it was a map, a map about Moon River Park.
It's just that her version is not the same as the version in Ding Cheng's hand, and the difference is mainly in the name of the attraction.
The 'Dream Town' where Ding Cheng is now is called the 'Buried Town' on that map
The Ferris wheel that Ding Cheng sat on was affectionately described as the 'Cursed Ferris Wheel'
【Cursed Ferris Wheel】Once it spins, it cannot be stopped. The only people who can get off the Ferris wheel are the dead.
Ding Cheng's hand loosened.
The map circled in the air and floated slowly back to the floor.
The song that had drifted away suddenly returned, and this time the child's tone became more evil.
Goose, goose."
"Where do we go now?"
……
"Ellie, give me your phone! I'm calling! Ding Cheng said loudly.
"Calling? Oh good! Who are you calling for? ”
"Call the Eastern Side Trainers Association, 07074675!"
"Okay, okay." Ellie trembled and pressed the screen, suddenly screamed, and handed the phone to Ding Cheng.
"What's wrong?" Ding Cheng glanced at the phone screen.
The battery that had just been 80 percent of the battery was actually only 1 percent left.
A huge red lightning bolt flashed across the screen.
Then there was a 'pop' and the screen went black.
How so?
Ding Cheng stood up and shook his mobile phone, and suddenly the cockpit shook violently, and a big lightning bolt struck him back in his seat.
The sky was stormy without warning, and dense raindrops smashed on the cockpit glass, quickly forming a layer of moisture.
Ding Cheng looked up at the sky, and a small area above Moon River Park didn't know when it turned an eerie burgundy red, but the sky around him was still dark.
The rain intensified rapidly, and the raindrops gathered into a rain curtain and poured down from the gap in the cockpit, and in an instant, Ding Cheng's left half of his shoulder was immediately soaked.
Next to Ellie, the situation was not much better, a piece of glass above her head was directly smashed open by the water column, and the water column and broken glass were poured on her head together, pouring her heart cold.
In the torrential rain, the street lights on both sides of the Moon River went out, and the park was dead silent, and Wei'er's light came from the roaring lightning and the eerie burgundy sky above them.
"How so?" Ellie crouched down from her seat, holding her head and shedding tears of shock.
"Don't panic just yet." Ding Cheng comforted her that the dark and confined environment can arouse the fear in people's hearts the most, and on this Ferris wheel, all the uneasiness will be magnified.
The Ferris wheel has slipped from its highest point, gradually slowing down closer to the river. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the water droplets that hit the cockpit caused huge ripples on the surface of the sea, and the floor was already covered with a thick layer of water due to the broken glass above the cockpit.
"Let's jump into the river!" Ding Cheng said to Ellie.
"Jumping into the river?" Ellie glanced at the rough river below and subconsciously shook her head.
"Here, grab my hand." Ding Cheng didn't give Ellie much time to think, the Ferris wheel would accelerate into the next cycle after the landing site, and if you missed this opportunity, you would have to wait another ten minutes.
With the Ferris wheel seeping through the wind and rain and already crumbling, any minute of delay could make things even worse.
Ding Cheng had already opened the hatch, and before jumping the cabin, he did the final psychological construction for Ellie: "This Ferris wheel will not stop, we can only leave by jumping, instead of being forced to jump, it is better to take the initiative to jump now, and now after jumping down, you may not necessarily die." ”
Ellie hesitated and shifted her steps, and the wind swept through the fishy smell of the waves, and she shrank back in a trembling voice.
"Got it? It's okay if you don't figure it out. Ding Cheng grabbed Ellie's hand without saying anything: "I'll count one, two, three, and then we'll jump down together." ”
The cockpit was slowly lowered, and the Ferris wheel had reached its lowest point.
"One, two...... Three. ”
"Hey...... Ahh
……
Call~
Ding Cheng poked his head out of the sea, and the jump just now was quite smooth, but Ellie almost let go of his hand.
"Are you okay?" Ding Cheng turned around and asked Ellie.
Ellie's condition was not good, and she exhaled and breathed in rapidly, as if she was having a difficult birth. There are faint signs of makeup peeling on her face, in short, she is not as white as before, huh? She also wore makeup.
Ding Cheng looked at Ellie in the moonlight, and once again had a subtle sense of strangeness.
"Hold on a little longer, and you'll be swimming to the shore in no time."
……
Ding Cheng dragged Ellie to the shore, and then collapsed, feeling that his strength and energy had been exhausted.
They came to an unfamiliar river bank with no lights and no iconic spots.
"Where is this?" Ding Cheng raised his head and asked Ellie.
Ellie sat on the shore and brushed her hair, and after a while, she pointed ahead, "I don't know where this is, but I see what looks like there's an auditorium ahead." ”
Auditorium?
Ding Cheng a carp and sat up straight.
The bell of the bell tower struck twice hard, and it was now two o'clock in the night.
Ding Cheng looked at the direction of Ellie's finger, and his heart was mixed.
Ellie was right, not far ahead of them, there was a magnificent auditorium, surrounded by festive wedding supplies.
This means that Ding Cheng has finally come to the real danger area of Moon River Park - the only 'wedding hall' where an accident has happened.
