Bai Ye continued on his way.
Crossing the Red Soil Swamp was not an easy task, but for Bai Ye, it was not a problem.
In his previous life, the Red Soil Swamp was an area Bai Ye had frequented for a considerable time, and he had eventually obtained a spiritual body here. Therefore, Bai Ye was very familiar with the Red Soil Swamp, understanding the distribution of spiritual monsters and even knowing the habits of many of them like the back of his hand.
After about an hour, Bai Ye had traversed the Red Soil Swamp area, and buildings began to appear before him.
These buildings had a strong Gothic style, exuding a gloomy aura.
As he moved forward, the buildings gradually became more numerous.
In fact, the Red Soil Swamp was originally a small town, peaceful and idyllic. Until twenty-four years ago, an incident occurred at the amusement park outside the town. A group of children from the town were murdered in the haunted house of the amusement park. Following this, angry townsfolk, disregarding the town police's warnings, stormed into the amusement park, killed the staff, and set the park ablaze.
This led to the complete collapse of the once peaceful and idyllic town. Some residents were arrested and sent to prison, while others moved away from the town that brought painful memories. Eventually, the town was completely abandoned.
And the forbidden zone of the Red Soil Swamp might be one of the easiest to find, which was that…
Amusement Park!
However, Bai Ye felt that this had a certain connection to the Red Soil Swamp. If one were to visit the Red Soil Swamp for the first time, it would actually be quite dangerous, as evidenced by the giant spiritual monster that swallowed Dr. Hard whole. Therefore, whether the forbidden zone was hidden or not was not of great significance. The difficulty of reaching the forbidden zone lay in safely traversing the Red Soil Swamp.
Of course, the forbidden zone was now within Bai Ye's reach.
Upon entering the town, everything became eerie.
The sky was perpetually overcast, a dull gray, with no sun or moon, making it impossible to distinguish day from night.
After passing through the abandoned town, continuing forward for about half an hour, Bai Ye looked up and saw a giant Ferris wheel. As he got closer, he also saw the broken tracks of a roller coaster in multiple places.
Soon, Bai Ye arrived at the main entrance of the amusement park.
A massive iron gate, and as Bai Ye stepped through it…
"As a participant has discovered and entered the Death Amusement Park, all participants currently located in the Red Soil Swamp area will be teleported to different locations within the Death Amusement Park in three minutes."
"In three minutes, the rules of the Death Amusement Park will be announced."
"Forbidden Zone Mission 1: Successfully escape the Death Amusement Park. Reward: Tarot Card of the Evil Spirit x1."
"Forbidden Zone Mission 2: Find the murderer of the haunted house killing incident from that year. Reward: Polluted Cross x1."
"Forbidden Zone Mission 3: Kill the evil spirit and burn down the Death Amusement Park. Reward: Spiritual Body x1, Shard of God's Stone x10."
"Gentlemen, for the sake of survival, please dance gracefully."
…
As the discoverer, Bai Ye had the advantage of not having to accept a random teleportation like others. In other words, Bai Ye had a three-minute priority action.
However, within the Death Amusement Park, a three-minute priority action was not very important, because the Death Amusement Park was not an exploration-type forbidden zone like the Umbrella Corporation's underground base, nor was it a challenge-type forbidden zone like the Tomb of King Huainan.
It could be noted that the Death Amusement Park had a significant difference from those two forbidden zones: the rules of the Death Amusement Park would be announced to everyone who entered after three minutes, something that neither the Umbrella Corporation's underground base nor the Tomb of King Huainan had.
Therefore, Bai Ye did not run too far. He found a building that looked like a tent, walked in, and then lowered the curtain, waiting silently. He needed to first confirm if the rules of the Death Amusement Park were the same as in his previous life.
Three minutes later, everyone in the Red Soil Swamp area was sent into the Death Amusement Park, and a light screen automatically appeared before everyone. Soon, lines of small text continuously appeared.
Death Amusement Park Rule One: After the Death Amusement Park opens, supervisors will appear in non-architectural areas to hunt down all humans.
Death Amusement Park Rule Two: After the Death Amusement Park opens, each person will receive a card, divided into human cards and ghost cards. Every hour, the cards held by survivors will be randomly replaced.
Death Amusement Park Rule Three: Holders of human cards cannot kill humans who also hold human cards. If they do, they will be punished by being chased by a vengeful spirit for three minutes. Holders of ghost cards can kill humans holding human cards at will, and can also kill ghosts holding ghost cards. They can act freely and will not be hunted by supervisors. Three ghost cards will be generated each round.
Death Amusement Park Rule Four: Holders of ghost cards who accumulate killing seven humans will receive a Shard of God's Stone. Holders of human cards who kill one ghost will receive a Shard of God's Stone.
Death Amusement Park Rule Five: The Death Amusement Park will be open for twelve hours. After twelve hours, the Death Amusement Park will close. The next opening will not be until 44 days later.
Death Amusement Park Rule Six: Under normal circumstances, once the Death Amusement Park opens, no one can leave within twelve hours. Forcible departure will result in punishment, being afflicted by vengeful spirits and dying directly.
Death Amusement Park Rule Seven: When the Death Amusement Park closes, the Ghost Town will open. If you wish to participate in the next Death Amusement Park, you can rest in the Ghost Town. All participants who have attended the first Death Amusement Park will receive a permanent 20% discount on all consumption in the Ghost Town.
…
Bai Ye only skimmed through the rules, because Bai Ye knew from the beginning that reading them would only confirm whether his memories from his previous life were correct. And Bai Ye received good news: the rules of the Death Amusement Park were exactly the same as in his previous life.
The rules were not difficult to understand. On the surface, it was a hunt between humans and ghosts. This time, rather than acting alone, humans would need to cooperate, and ghosts would need to cooperate. However, it was not that simple.
The reason was very simple: although they cooperated in terms of factions, the rewards were personal. Therefore, it was hard to guarantee that there wouldn't be ulterior motives during cooperation, and the rewards for hunting were Shards of God's Stone…
This was a huge temptation!
However, Bai Ye knew that it was not as simple as it appeared on the surface. Within the rules regarding human cards and ghost cards, there was a very important point: ghost cards allowed free movement in non-architectural areas without being attacked by supervisors.
And what was the core of this rule?
It was very simple!
Those who obtained ghost cards had a greater chance of completing the forbidden zone missions.
Shards of God's Stone were very tempting, but don't forget that the rewards for the forbidden zone missions were even more enticing, and they also included ten Shards of God's Stone.
