The Days of a Player-Character in a Bizarre World - Chapter 5

Before long, the train finally pulled into the station. The broadcast announced, “The train has arrived at Yunlin Station.”

Fu You stood in the car, waiting for the train to stop like the three people who were hanging there. She couldn’t see what the weather was like outside, only that the light inside the car was getting dimmer and dimmer.

Click!

The train stopped at the platform. Wei Shengjun Yu said to Fu You, “Oh, my dearest Sister, the train has arrived. Let’s get off.”

Fu You looked at the three people behind her and replied calmly, “They’re coming with us.”

Wei Shengjun Yu obediently let the three of them down. He said in a threatening tone, “You will call her ‘Master.’ Remember, it was Master who gave you your lives. You must serve her, or else…” He didn’t finish his sentence. He just quietly extended his tentacles behind the three of them, pressing on their vitals.

Wen Lu knelt on the ground with a plop, startling Fu You, who quickly turned around to see what happened. She had planned to walk directly toward the car door after letting the three of them down. Her eyes were fixed on the car door, but it didn’t open. Then she heard the plop.

“Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master! I have elders and children to support… no, no, I have elders and children to support! Thank you, Master, for saving my life!”

He was incoherent, and his words stunned Ah Lin and Wu Qingsheng.

Of course, Fu You and Wei Shengjun Yu were also stunned. Fu You rubbed her forehead and said, “Let’s go. Get off the train.”

Wei Shengjun Yu naturally bent down and extended his left hand. He took Fu You’s right hand and placed it on his left wrist. He smiled and said, “Sister, let’s go~”

Fu You didn’t reply. She just walked forward.

There was no sign of the car door opening. When she reached the door, Fu You couldn’t see her own reflection. The door was pitch black. She was a little scared to walk through it, but she had to.

She put one foot out and froze. She hadn’t stepped on the floor.

Then she placed her foot down, feeling relieved, and walked forward. In two steps, she was outside the train. What greeted her was a pitch-black sky with stars and lights on the ground.

As a few of them stood on the ground, Fu You finally felt like she was living on Earth again.

Wei Shengjun Yu snapped his fingers, and everything in front of them lit up. Fu You was shocked by the sight. It was a huge amusement park.

There were carousels, roller coasters, pirate ships, and all kinds of rides. The lights were sparkling and looked no different from a modern amusement park.

Wu Qingsheng suddenly muttered under his breath, “I don’t know why she’s so obsessed with this ugly freak. He looks like a human, but in reality, he’s just a monster. Pfft! He thinks he’s the boss!”

“Hey, can you be quiet? Are you hoping he’ll hear you?”

“So what if he hears? It’s not like he can actually…”

The next second, they heard the sound of his bones tearing. An arm flew into the air and landed directly on Fu You’s shoulder.

Fu You shivered in disgust.

But as an excellent actress, she couldn’t show her fear. She just brushed the severed arm off her shoulder in a disgusted manner. Just then, Wei Shengjun Yu appeared beside her, holding a delicate box.

He carefully and submissively placed the box in Fu You’s hand. Then his pupils dilated, and his face twisted as he glared at Wu Qingsheng.

“You have a lot of guts, calling me ugly! And who gave you permission to touch my Sister’s arm?”

He pointed at the bloodstain on Fu You’s shoulder and the bloody arm that Fu You had thrown on the ground.

Wen Lu was about to open his mouth to beg for Wu Qingsheng’s life, but Wei Shengjun Yu didn’t want to hear his nonsense. He extended a tentacle and wrapped it around Wen Lu’s neck, preventing him from making a sound.

Just as Wen Lu was about to die, Fu You suddenly placed a hand on Wei Shengjun Yu’s shoulder, stopping his murderous actions.

“That’s enough, Jun Yu. It was just a severed arm that touched my clothes. It’s no big deal.”

“Oh, my dear Sister, you are such a kind-hearted person~”

Fu You felt like there was something wrong with that sentence, but she couldn’t pinpoint it. It felt as if he was mocking her.

Wei Shengjun Yu turned his head and looked at the other three. He used his tentacle to stop the bleeding from Wu Qingsheng’s arm. He retracted his tentacle and became the handsome young man in a suit again.

“Even though I was in the wrong, he called me ugly. I can’t accept that, Sister.”

Fu You: “…”

Seeing that Fu You wasn’t saying anything, Wei Shengjun Yu added, “To show my apology, I would like to invite all of you to watch my performance later. I promise this performance will not disappoint you.”

With that, he walked to Fu You’s side, grabbed her hand, and shook it coquettishly. “Sister, is that okay?”

Fu You smiled and nodded, which made Wei Shengjun Yu extremely happy. He turned to look at the three people behind him. Wu Qingsheng clearly looked unwilling. Wei Shengjun Yu seriously pointed at them, starting with Ah Lin.

“If you refuse me, I can’t guarantee what will happen next~”

Wasn’t this a blatant threat?

Wen Lu and Ah Lin lowered their heads timidly, not daring to speak. They were just ordinary people. They had no power to deal with this ugly monster who could kill at any moment.

To this day, no one knows what the monster really looked like.

Ah Lin and Wen Lu looked at each other. Then they held Wu Qingsheng and started nodding furiously.

Their mission here was different from Fu You’s. They didn’t have their own bodies. To be precise, their souls had entered a corpse here. Their mission was to kill the Boss or find an exit to escape the amusement park.

Before they met this ugly monster, they admitted they had underestimated him.

Ah Lin only had a dull dagger. Wu Qingsheng only had his brute strength. Only Wen Lu had a gun, but it was a gun that shot marbles. In other words, it was useless.

Now they had given up on the idea of killing the Boss. They had a deep understanding of their own overconfidence. In comparison, their chances of survival were much higher if they just escaped this cursed place.

Fu You stood there for a long time, unable to figure out what these people were trying to convey. She just stood there silently, deep in thought.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind. She had a feeling that Wei Shengjun Yu’s “performance” wasn’t a normal one.

Could there be some kind of killing game rule hidden here?

Wei Shengjun Yu didn’t stay there. He secretly kissed Fu You on the face before she could react and disappeared the next second.

The night gradually enveloped the amusement park. All the stars in the sky were gone, and the amusement park’s lights became even brighter.

Ding-dong~ Ding-dong~

The carousel in front of them began to turn slowly. The horses moving up and down gave off a sluggish melody, like a broken music box playing a slowed-down tune.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh~”

“Heeheeheeheehee~”

“Hehehehehe~”Strange noises came from a small house next to the carousel. The air was filled with an unpleasant smell. The lights went from bright to dim, flickering on and off.

Fu You looked up. A pair of crimson eyes was flying toward them. She couldn’t tell what it was. She could only see that it had fangs and crimson eyes.

“Ah!”

Wu Qingsheng quickly pushed Ah Lin down. Then he turned and pushed Wen Lu to the ground before squatting down himself. Fu You was about to squat down with her head in her hands when she saw the dark thing fly past her, heading straight for the three people behind her.

Fu You immediately stood up straight and looked back. Thankfully, the people behind her had ducked and were not hurt.

Wu Qingsheng growled, “Get closer to her.”

The other two, hearing him, held up Wu Qingsheng and moved closer to Fu You. As expected, the red-eyed monster didn’t fly toward them.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

A dull thud came from a distance. Fu You looked in the direction of the sound. It was a tall Ferris wheel, swaying and turning. Every time it reached the top, a thud was heard.

It was like a clock that chimed at twelve, or maybe it was set to a specific time. When that time came, it would chime.

“Where are you going?”

Ah Lin, seeing Fu You walk away, hurriedly asked.

“We might as well look for where his performance is. Or are we just going to stand here and wait for the next monster to fly at us?”

Fu You said, shrugging her shoulders. “I don’t care, but it’s up to you guys~”

You could say they were her kind. Even though she couldn’t figure out why they had disappeared before, they were at least normal people now. In this situation, it was best to not create any bad bl00d. It wasn’t good for anyone.

They were all in the same boat. Fu You shook her head. She was still different from them.

Wu Qingsheng was a little reluctant.

Ah Lin and Wen Lu quickly held Wu Qingsheng and followed her. Without an arm, Wu Qingsheng was too weak to resist. Plus, he had used all his energy to dodge that damn monster, so he couldn’t resist at all.

The amusement park was huge.

Along the way, they saw all kinds of bizarre little wooden houses. Each house had a different-colored roof—red, blue, green, yellow, brown, and so on. There were too many to count.

They had been walking for a long time, but they hadn’t seen a performance area or a big stage.

Ah Lin, holding Wu Qingsheng’s only arm, asked nervously, “Did we go the wrong way? This place doesn’t look like it has a big stage. Or maybe he’s not performing on a stage at all? Maybe it’s not his performance?”

Wen Lu followed up, “The monster said so. There must be one. He probably wouldn’t lie to her, would he?” He glanced at Fu You in front of them.

Ah Lin nodded in agreement.

“I haven’t seen any signs along the way. Why don’t they have any fliers?” Fu You muttered in front, looking left and right.

Wu Qingsheng finally spoke. “How about we split up and look? Whether we find it or not, we’ll meet back here in an hour.”

Fu You had no objections. These little monsters wouldn’t hurt her. She turned to look at the three people behind her and saw that they all agreed. So, they happily made the decision.

“Then… the three of us together?” Ah Lin asked.
