Why?

This was the common sentiment of everyone. Why was the controller ineffective? Why did this middle-aged man, deserving to be called a failed father, save this little girl?

Zhang Yuanqing couldn't understand it either, but his attention was now focused on the sound coming from the robot's chest speaker.

Demon Lord? It just said Demon Lord?!

Why would a robot's voice system say Demon Lord? Suddenly, he remembered the information that Brother Bing had left behind.

Could it be that the thing Brother Bing wanted him to find was this robot in front of him? He was stunned.

"Clang, clang..."

The red dancing shoes kicked the robot twice, sliding it half a meter to the side.

Zhang Yuanqing suddenly woke up and shouted, "Quick, hide back in the car."

Without his reminder, Xi Shi, the Fire Demon, and the Great Sage Equal to Heaven had already opened the car doors and were preparing to get back into the car for safety.

Zhang Yuanqing glanced at Xie Lingxi, who was still in a daze. He lifted her up, then tucked the upper half of the failed father's body under his arm, and hurried into another car.

"Bang!"

The car door closed, blocking the danger outside.

Zhang Yuanqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at his two companions. The failed father had strong vitality and hadn't died immediately, but it was only a matter of time.

Xie Lingxi woke up from her daze and looked at the middle-aged man with a complicated expression. She whispered,

"Why?"

Why did you risk your life to save me?

Faced with the girl's question, the failed father's face was pale and gray, but his tone was surprisingly calm as he asked:

"Do you need a reason to save someone?"

Xie Lingxi was stunned.

Uncle, this really doesn't sound like something you would say... Zhang Yuanqing thought with a complicated expression.

For a moment, this simple and honest answer touched his heart.

The failed father said faintly, "You don't need to be grateful to me, and you don't need to feel guilty. I saved you, and it doesn't have much to do with you. For someone like me, death may not be a relief. If you knew what I did before, you wouldn't have any pity for me. Of course, I don't need pity either."

His tone was weak, and his voice was intermittent, "Wang Tai..."

"Yes..."

"I want to ask you for a favor. If you can leave the amusement park alive, help me find someone and pass on a message to him. In return, I'll tell you something about the mission."

Why me? Zhang Yuanqing raised his eyes in confusion and glanced at Xie Lingxi beside him.

The failed father's face became even more pale, and his voice was weak, "She is an official..."

Xie Lingxi knows the strategy, so he suspects that the little girl is an official? His affairs cannot be known by the officials? Zhang Yuanqing's thoughts flashed, and he nodded:

"Okay, I promise you, provided that I can leave the amusement park alive."

"The person I want you to find is called 'Wu Hen' Master. Please pass on a message to him for me..." The failed father paused, his eyes flickering with confusion, disgust, and sorrow, "I'm sorry, I still don't know whether it's me or this world that is wrong."

Zhang Yuanqing was stunned for a moment and said, "I'll remember it."

The failed father nodded with satisfaction: "I will tell you an address, and the information as compensation, lean closer..."

Zhang Yuanqing leaned over and put his ear close. After ten seconds, he raised his head and said in a low voice:

"Okay, in exchange, I will take care of this matter for you."

The failed father revealed a look of relief and no longer struggled. The last bit of fire in his eyes was extinguished in an instant.

Xie Lingxi's eyes turned red, and tears fell patter.

Zhang Yuanqing couldn't tell whether she was really crying or pretending. After thinking for a moment, he said:

"He is an Enchanting Demon (gu huo zhi yao). He just told me that personally. I don' tknow he saved you but maybe really doesn't have anything to do with you. You don't need to feel guilty."

Evil professions, more or less, have their own stories.

Xie Lingxi sniffed and nodded obediently: "I know. He has a strong baleful aura. I knew he was an evil profession a long time ago... What do we do next?"

She knew that the failed father was an evil profession... Zhang Yuanqing's eyes darkened. He recalled Xie Lingxi's words and actions from beginning to end, then looked outside. Through the car window, the red dancing shoes were fiercely fighting the robot.

According to their observation, the robot would continue to chase the Spirit Realm (ling jing) walkers for five minutes each time it appeared.

But the time had long passed, and this steel monster still hadn't left.

Zhang Yuanqing's eyes swept across the fighting red dancing shoes and the robot and looked at the car diagonally behind them. He saw Xi Shi patting the window, looking at them urgently, as if calling for something.

And behind her, the Fire Demon and the Great Sage Equal to Heaven were arguing fiercely.

The rapidly changing situation had caused the two to have internal strife. Xi Shi probably wanted to ask him for help, but the distance was too far to communicate.

If this continues, we can only be trapped in the car. I guess they are not only afraid of the robot, but also afraid of the red dancing shoes, because an hour is almost up... Zhang Yuanqing stared at the beautiful little girl beside him and said:

"You've seen the situation outside. What do you think?"

Regardless of whether this girl is pretending to be weak or really is weak, she must not be stupid to be matched into the amusement park. A qualified captain must know how to ask for advice from the wise.

Xie Lingxi still looked weak and weeping, sniffling and said:

"To solve the crisis, we must first know where the problem lies. We have to understand the reason why the robots do not follow martial morality."

Yes, these robots don't follow martial morality. They come to deceive, to sneak attack... Zhang Yuanqing nodded: "Continue."

"Just now when I pressed the controller, it really didn't move, which means the controller is useful. It is impossible for the robot to have the intelligence to deceive us. That is to say, we have actually turned off the robot once." Xie Lingxi said:

"I noticed just now that after the power was restored, what it said was different. Is it possible that the robot's control system has changed? We need to turn it off again."

Turn it off again... Zhang Yuanqing silently chewed on this sentence. He didn't ask any more questions, because Xie Lingxi couldn't possibly know, but the other party's analysis gave him enough inspiration.

The robot should be related to the information that Brother Bing left me. If I want to understand Brother Bing's disappearance and the Demon Lord-related matters, I have to take control of the robot.

After entering Jinshui Amusement Park, he did not forget the clues left by Brother Bing, but he did not deliberately look for them, because the difficulty of level S, being able to clear the level is already a great blessing. Random exploration is just trying to die faster. Brother Bing's clues can only depend on fate.

The current situation is actually a good thing, because the task and the clues are solved together, of course, provided that he can solve the crisis.

In the information that Brother Bing left me, besides the Spirit Realm (ling jing) number, there is only one sentence: "yi shi ren liang xiong di" (one life, two brothers). Turn it off again... I seem to know how to use this sentence... Zhang Yuanqing decided to try, pushed open the car door.

"You..." Xie Lingxi was taken aback and let out a short cry.

In the car not far away, Xi Shi was stunned, and the Great Sage Equal to Heaven and the Fire Demon stopped arguing.

Why did Wang Tai come out? Is he going to take back the dancing shoes?

Zhang Yuanqing closed the car door and approached the robot. He stopped five or six meters away, took a deep breath, and shouted:

"yi shi ren liang xiong di!"

The sound echoed in the underground parking lot. Then, an unbelievable scene happened. The robot, which was still violent and fierce the previous moment, suddenly stopped as if the power was cut off.

Then, the speaker on its chest made a sound: "The password is correct!"

The steel armor covering the chest made a 'kaka' sound, separating to both sides, revealing the internal wires and a black, square box.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuanqing stepped forward. After thinking about it, in order to prevent the robot from launching another sneak attack, he summoned the red dancing shoes to cover his feet, ensuring that his evasion was maxed out, and then continued to approach.

Arriving in front of the robot, Zhang Yuanqing took off the square box.

Its shell was made of black metal composite material. There were speakers and two buttons on the front of the box. Judging from the appearance alone, it seemed to be a miniature version of a speaker.

About half the size of a palm.

At this time, a message appeared in Zhang Yuanqing's vision:

【Name: Mao Wang Speaker (Cat King Speaker)】

【Type: Audio-visual Equipment】

【Function: Play Audio】

【Introduction: A long, long time ago, a Cat King (Mao Wang) who loved music claimed to challenge the God of Light. The God of Light severely punished this arrogant cat, sealing its soul in an instrument. Over the years, the Cat King existed alone in the instrument until a musician from the East obtained this instrument and transformed it into a speaker.】

【Note 1: Drums - When the drums sound, you will gain unparalleled fighting spirit, and your enemies will be deterred.】

【Note 2: Suona - When the suona sounds, you will be invincible, but please end the battle within three minutes, otherwise, the suona sound will be used for another occasion.】

【Note 3: Meow, meow meow, meow meow meow! (Whoever dares to lock me up again, I will scratch their face!)】

【Note 4: I want to sing if I want to sing, and sing loudly.】

An item, a cost-based item. Is this what Brother Bing left me? According to the notes, there are two types of audio stored in the speaker, one is drums, and the other is suona. The effect of the drums is to amplify combat power and deter enemies at the same time.

The note for the suona is easy to understand. You must turn off the suona sound within three minutes, otherwise it will send me to my funeral... But what does this have to do with what Brother Bing said, "Leave everything there"? Also, what do notes 3 and 4 mean? I don't understand... Zhang Yuanqing curiously looked at the speaker in his palm.

In general, this item is not bad. It is a cost-based auxiliary item. The suona sound and the drums have not been tried, so it is difficult to judge, but it can make Brother Bing painstakingly hide it here, there must be something special about it.

As for what Brother Bing hid on it, it remains to be studied.

At this time, seeing that the robot was indeed resolved and did not recover, Xi Shi and the others finally got out of the car.

"We finally cleared the underground parking lot. Wang Tai, thanks to you." The Great Sage Equal to Heaven's face was full of smiles.

Xi Shi leaned over with a spring in her eyes and said coquettishly: "Brother Wang Tai, I knew you wouldn't let us down. People were shouting for help in the car just now. You must have heard it before you came out, right."

Brother? Zhang Yuanqing glanced at her. This aunt in her thirties, if she were a few years older, could be his mother.

"How did you know how to turn off the robot? What is this thing?" The Fire Demon stared at the speaker with fiery eyes.

"An item, an auxiliary item." Zhang Yuanqing smiled, not answering the first question, and said: "The harvest is not bad, everyone. I will accept this item with a smile. Do you have any objections?"

The Fire Demon was about to speak when he saw the red dancing shoes walking over patter. He immediately said, "You solved the matter, the thing belongs to you, reasonable."

"Reasonable, reasonable." Xi Shi and the Great Sage Equal to Heaven looked at the red dancing shoes and nodded repeatedly.

Zhang Yuanqing was about to put the Mao Wang speaker into the item bar, but he received an unexpected prompt:

【Unable to store this item.】

Unable to store it? Zhang Yuanqing was stunned, and then he understood the meaning of Note 3.

What a pit, this item cannot be stored in the item bar, doesn't that mean it has to be carried with you?

At this time, everyone received a Spirit Realm (ling jing) prompt:

【You have completed the underground parking lot mission. You are currently conducting the "Heart-Pounding" mission series. The entertainment facilities in this series are: Roller Coaster - Underground Parking Lot - Haunted House (Ghost Marriage) - Detective Reasoning Museum. Please go to the third location within half an hour.】

In addition to the above information, Zhang Yuanqing also received another prompt:

【Ding, you have successfully led your team to complete a task. You have one chance to exercise the power of the captain. Please designate the evil person hidden among the team members. The designated person will be obliterated!

【Failure to make a choice within thirty seconds will be considered a waiver of this opportunity.】

This time Zhang Yuanqing didn't hesitate and silently said in his heart: "Give up."

.........

Leaving the parking lot, a gentle evening breeze blew.

The lights of the amusement park were as dreamy and blurred as always, and gentle, melodious music came from a distance.

Zhang Yuanqing was followed by red dancing shoes. He looked around and said to the companions beside him:

"Wait a moment, I'll be back in a while."

Faced with the scrutiny of his companions, he explained with a smile: "Recalling the dancing shoes requires a certain price, and this price is not suitable for you to see."

Everyone nodded half-believingly.

Zhang Yuanqing came to a secluded place. There was no one around, so he didn't pretend anymore. He put the speaker aside and agreed to the red dancing shoes' dance invitation.

Suddenly, clear tap sounds echoed in the night.

At this moment, the speaker on the side played music without warning:

"Better to dance, better to dance than chat, make yourself feel comfortable... keep dancing, better to dance than date, use this way to get along..."

? What's going on? Why did this guy suddenly play music... Zhang Yuanqing, who was displaying his dynamic dance, was already a little ashamed. He was startled by the singing and almost couldn't maintain his dance steps.

So that's what note 4 means? This thing is such a pit. Dancing awkwardly is one thing, but it also plays such embarrassing music. If people see it, how can I live?

Zhang Yuanqing thought with a complicated expression.

The loud singing covered the tap sounds.

The red dancing shoes seemed unhappy, and the tap sounds became more dense and louder.

A few minutes later, Zhang Yuanqing ended the dance, and the red dancing shoes automatically returned to the item bar.

When he returned, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he found that everyone's eyes were strange when they looked at him...

The five of them followed the signs and walked towards the depths of the amusement park.

The further they went, the darker the lights became, and the mood of the five became more solemn.

The third level is the haunted house, the only place in the amusement park with supernatural elements. According to the Spirit Realm (ling jing) introduction, the reason why the amusement park was changed to a level S dungeon was largely due to the change of spirit.

After walking for four or five minutes, they came to a quiet dark alley. The architectural style here was biased towards the Republic of China era, with white walls and black tiles. Two-person-high courtyard walls surrounded a building, and white lanterns hung under the eaves of every household.

The ground under their feet had unknowingly changed from a cement floor to a pebble-paved road.

The vague music behind them disappeared without a trace after everyone entered this dark alley.

The night was gloomy, and white lanterns hung under the eaves. The surroundings were silent, without any sound.

Xi Shi hugged Zhang Yuanqing's arm tightly, looking around, and said in fear:

"I'm not afraid of killing people, but I can't stand this atmosphere..."

Although Xie Lingxi didn't hug Zhang Yuanqing's arm, her little face was slightly pale, and her expression was tense.

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven and the Fire Demon were bolder, but their expressions were a little uneasy. They looked back from time to time, always feeling that something was following them.

Only Zhang Yuanqing looked calm. The yin energy here was very heavy, but it made him feel extremely comfortable, as if he had returned home.

Perhaps it was this calm appearance that made Xi Shi and Xie Lingxi unable to resist getting closer to him and gaining a sense of security.

Unknowingly, everyone came to a large courtyard. Unlike other houses, the lanterns hanging here were red, and the candlelight was like blood, reflecting the area in front of the door in a bloody color.

A "happiness" character was pasted on the door, and the couplets were also red. The owner seemed to be celebrating a happy event.

The destination had arrived.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally looked at Zhang Yuanqing at the same time.

Zhang Yuanqing took a few steps forward, knocked on the door, and said loudly:

"Is anyone there? I'm here to marry your young lady."

As soon as the words fell, the door opened with a "creak", and a cold yin wind poured out from inside.

As a Night Wanderer (ye you shen), the hairs on Zhang Yuanqing's back stood on end. He said in a low voice: "A ghost is coming..."
