Unable to move.
No attacks had any effect.
The stick was utterly unremarkable, and the security guard was also very ordinary, but as the stick was about to strike his head, Wan Lei had a premonition:
His head would be smashed to pieces the next moment!
Fang Xiaoyu rushed over with a cry of alarm, but stopped three meters away from the security guard, unable to move any further.
This security guard looked like an ordinary person, yet there seemed to be an invisible force field around him.
Within this force field, Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu couldn't even move, nor could they launch any attacks.
Although he couldn't move, Wan Lei's mind could still function.
In this situation, he interpreted it as the rules of this amusement park being like this.
For example, catching a balloon meant death.
For example, one could not attack the people inside.
For example, only people inside could attack people inside.
The next scene validated his guess.
The mascot girl instantly rushed forward, throwing the flyer in her hand into the air, where it fluttered down.
She wore a comical mascot costume, but it was as if a hero had descended, arriving on a cloud of auspicious colors to save Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu from dire straits.
The mascot girl leaped up, her knee slamming into the security guard, sending him flying. She then kicked him in the head again.
Immediately after, she crouched down and rained blows upon him with her fists like a tempest. The security guard's chest caved in, his entire body distorted, yet not a drop of blood flowed out.
The security guard was like a puppet, lying on the ground for the girl to do as she pleased.
A moment later, the girl grabbed the security guard's head with both hands and pulled hard, directly wrenching his head off.
The break at the neck was very clean, with no blood, as if the head had merely been placed there.
Despite the girl's swift and decisive actions, she did not receive any cheers from the onlookers. Instead, they kept retreating, their fearful eyes regarding her as if she were a monster.
Yes, that strange humanoid monster, capable of easily subduing cultivators, had just been brutally killed by another humanoid monster. Who wouldn't be terrified?
After the security guard's head was ripped off, Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu could suddenly move. They immediately retreated, putting distance between themselves and the mascot girl.
"Don't be scared, I've killed this monster."
The mascot girl said to everyone with a smile.
"Who are you?"
Wan Lei's gaze was sharp and vigilant as he looked at the girl.
The girl's head was covered by a large mascot head, obscuring her expression and features, but her voice conveyed joy.
"I'm just like you, a trial participant sent to this world. It's just that I'm trapped here.
You are the new batch of trial participants, aren't you? Let's go, I've already found the entrance to the amusement park and can take you out."
The girl's tone was cheerful and friendly.
"You're a trial participant? What kind of trial participant? What is this cursed place?"
"Did you also stumble in here? I didn't, I was participating in an adventure mission and was teleported here."
"Why should we believe what you say? If you know where the exit is, why didn't you leave yourself? And why are you staying here to save us?
Do you really think we're that easy to fool? Hmph!"
Wan Lei's eyes were filled with suspicion as he glared at the girl.
"I was like you before, a cultivator. But after being trapped here, my body gradually changed, and I became one of the inhabitants here!
The people here are trapped for life, becoming a part of this amusement park.
That security guard just now was like that, except he had been submerged for too long and had forgotten he was human.
As for me, I've only been submerged for a few years and still retain my human consciousness.
I found the location of the exit long ago, but I've already been assimilated by the amusement park and can't leave.
But you haven't yet. I can help you leave. I don't want to see more people trapped in this cursed place and become slaves to it."
Wan Lei pondered for a moment, then shook his head.
"I'm sorry, but even though your story is good, I still can't believe you.
You're also one of the staff here, aren't you? Your clothes suggest it.
The child selling balloons told me not to trust the staff here."
"That child was assimilated long ago. He's already a member of this terrifying amusement park. His existence is to harm you. How can you still believe him?"
The girl's tone carried a hint of indignation.
"The most important thing is, the clothes you're wearing, they must be some kind of mascot costume. I haven't seen it before, but I can guess.
When the system issued the mission, it gave us a hint: 'Do not trust the mascot girl.'
This mascot girl, that's you, isn't it?
Trusting you will lead to great terror."
As soon as Wan Lei finished speaking, before the girl could reply, the surrounding cultivators looked at him in surprise and moved further away.
Wan Lei didn't know what was happening, when suddenly a cultivator cried out in distress,
"Who are you? How come you have a mission and a hint, and we don't? We were just thrown into this cursed place and told to fend for ourselves."
Wan Lei frowned.
Damn, he had let it slip.
Normally, everyone would have their own missions, but he hadn't expected the immortal to assign him a mission this time.
"I see, you're in cahoots with them, trying to deceive us.
You're deliberately pretending to be cultivators like us, when in reality you're putting on a show. Hahahaha, I won't fall for your trickery.
What kind of nonsense about finding an exit or monsters? Can't I just fly out?
No secret realm prohibits flying, and you still want to trick me? If I believe you again, I'm not surnamed Zhao!"
Having said that, the cultivator surnamed Zhao shot a fierce glare at Wan Lei and the others, then directly flew towards the outer perimeter.
"Don't fly, there will be great terror!"
The mascot girl screamed in alarm, but her warning was too late. As the cultivator flew halfway into the air, he was swept by a strange gust of wind and vanished.
Wan Lei sighed. He knew they couldn't just fly out. This place was so bizarre; if one could simply fly out, why would the immortal bother creating such an amusement park?
To get out, he still had to find the solution.
Immediately after, the cultivator's figure reappeared on a rocking horse ride.
His entire body had transformed into a ceramic-like statue, his hands gripping the handles of the rocking horse, his face frozen in an expression of joy.
"What is dad's dad called? Dad's dad is called Grandpa. What is dad's mom called? Dad's mom is called Grandma..."
