    Chapter 53 Haunted House and Ferris Wheel

    The screams were overwhelming, and the giant snake-shaped roller coaster galloped recklessly on the track, rushing through ten rings in a row.

    Lu Yingjiu thought of the suspension bridge effect.

    The so-called suspension bridge effect is that if two people cross the suspension bridge in fear, their heartbeats will increase, and the heartbeat caused by external forces will be mistaken for liking each other.

    From this perspective, the amusement park is indeed a good place for a date. There are many thrilling and exciting projects, which can easily make people's heart beat faster.

    But here comes the problem.

    He's not afraid of roller coasters, and things like roller coasters jumping off the stairs won't make his heart beat faster.

    After getting off the roller coaster, Lu Yingjiu was still staring at the sky.

    He thought, this day is really blue.

    Jingxian can't wait to go to the next project.

    Yunxiao Amusement Park is very large and has everything you need.

    They bought raincoats before they played torrent and brave, but neither of them had fully fastened the raincoats. When they swooped down, water splashed all over their bodies along the gaps in their clothes. As soon as the project came out, Lu Yingjiu couldn't bear it any longer. He found a corner to pat the talisman paper on himself and Jingxian, and dried the clothes.

    Then, they went to play the spinning swing and the jumping machine, the windmill and the mine roller coaster... So the scary project, for both of them, is to blow the wind and see the scenery in the distance.

    But definitely not boring.

    In fact, Lu Yingjiu found it very interesting.

    He hardly played these things when he was a child, and later he didn't have much time. Now is the first time he strolled around the amusement park leisurely, and experienced every project according to Jing Xian's expectations.

    There are always many firsts in life.

    These novelties seem to make up for a little bit of his past.

    There are many people on weekends, and they play like this until the afternoon when they arrive at the project that Jingxian is most looking forward to.

    haunted house.

    Lu Yingjiu stood in front of the haunted house called "Halloween Night", looked at the various pumpkins, bats, and ghosts decorations at the door, and said, "Are you sure we want to play this?"

    "Otherwise?" Jing Xian said, and touched the furry head of the ghost at the door. "Look at how interesting this ghost looks. It's stupid, and there must be werewolves and vampires in it."

    "Oh," he said, Lu Yingjiu suddenly understood, "It's your favorite imported ghost, right?"

    Jingxian said that he likes to watch

    zombie

    Movies, or vampire-themed movies, because those species are all "imported ghosts" to him, and he has never seen them before and feels novel.

    If it was from this angle, he would understand where Jingxian's interests lie.

    They started to line up.

    This haunted house is quite famous. Compared with other projects, there are only a lot more people in line. They slowly followed the team forward, chatting one after another, and it took forty or fifty minutes before it was their turn.

    This haunted house is entered in groups of ten.

    The staff held a loudspeaker and shouted precautions to them: "Pregnant women and tourists with heart disease and high blood pressure are not allowed to enter the venue, it is forbidden to carry inflammable and explosive materials, controlled knives and lighters, it is forbidden to take pictures and videos, and it is forbidden to destroy ghosts. The props in the house, it is forbidden to beat the staff..."

    The first few sentences are nothing.

    As soon as he heard the last two, Lu Yingjiu poked Jingxian violently and said in a low voice, "Listen."

    "What?" Jing Xian's attention was completely on the werewolf model at the door, and he couldn't even look away.

    Lu Yingjiu said: "It is forbidden to destroy props, and it is forbidden to beat the staff."

    "Okay, there's definitely no problem." Jingxian assured, "I'm a ghost who can beat people."

    After the precautions were finished, ten of them stood in a row and began to enter the venue under the guidance of the staff.

    It was pitch black as soon as entered, only a little green light flickered in the distance.

    There was an arrow mark with green light on the ground, and everyone walked forward cautiously.

    Before taking a few steps, the music started, it was the shrill wind and the shrill whispers, it was extremely realistic, and it also had a surround sound. There was a cool breeze under his feet, scratching his ankles coldly, reminding people of misty hills and wild ghosts wandering in the deep forest in the distance.

    It's not without reason that this haunted house is famous.

    This opening sound effect alone is stronger than many other haunted houses.

    Immediately, several people became frightened and clenched each other's hands.

    This darkness is nothing to Jingxian at all.

    Therefore, he clearly saw the hand held by the others, and immediately leaned over to pull Lu Yingjiu's hand.

    Although Lu Yingjiu couldn't see clearly, as soon as Jingxian came over, he knew what Jingxian wanted to do. He withdrew his hand and whispered, "What are you doing?"

    "Everyone else is holding hands. If we don't pull, there will be no atmosphere."

    Lu Yingjiu: "Your reasons are really strange. What reasons have you used along the way?"

    He recalled for a moment and added: "What 'Lu Yingjiu, I think that tree is so beautiful, so let's hold hands', what 'The dog in the front looks like hair balls, so let's hold hands'... It's just outrageous,Do you have a magnet on your hand, it must be attracted by me."

    Jingxian sneered a few times: "Isn't this a ghost that doesn't die?"

    "You are very precise about your positioning." Lu Yingjiu also smiled.

    Seeing that he was unwilling, Jingxian gave up holding hands.

    Lu Yingjiu took a few more steps, and suddenly felt that the back of his clothes was heavy, as if being pulled by someone.

    Lu Yingjiu: ?

    As soon as he turned his head, he was speechless: Jingxian actually grabbed the corner of his shirt.

    The two of them are now like elementary school students on a spring outing, pulling one another and sticking together firmly.

    Lu Yingjiu said in a low voice, "What are you doing? Don't pull the corner of my shirt. Only elementary school students can do this kind of thing."

    "Oh." Jing Xian listened to his words very much, and changed the position of his hand again, this time grabbing Lu Yingjiu's back collar.

    I didn't expect him to be so strong. With such a tug, he couldn't control his strength all of a sudden. Lu Yingjiu only felt that his neck was strangled by a sling!

    He was abruptly stopped by Jing's chatter, and the whole person leaned back half a step.

    Jing Xian was shocked and quickly supported him.

    Lu Yingjiu coughed twice: "Jingxian, you want to murder me."

    "Absolutely not." Jingxian said in a panic, "My love for you will last forever. It will last forever."

    Lu Yingjiu: "..."

    Lu Yingjiu was amused: "Your idiom has improved quite quickly."

    "Of course." Jing Xian patted his back lightly, "I have studied hard."

    After such a small talk, they had already walked out more than ten meters, and the crowd in front suddenly screamed!

    I saw a dark front, and suddenly there was a small amount of red light hitting the wall. The wall was made of red bricks stacked up, and as soon as they approached, blood suddenly began to ooze frantically from the cracks of the bricks!

    This aisle is very narrow, and they have to go past this wall to reach the next area.

    Blood dripped all over the ground, bright red and dazzling, the music became louder, and the gloomy wind gusted under the feet.

    The man in front stood still and didn't dare to move.

    Fortunately, there was a daring elder brother who took the lead.

    He leaned against the wall and moved slowly.

    There was nothing at first, and he quickly reached the halfway point, only to hear sharp laughter!

    A part of the red brick wall was broken in the middle, and a pale hand grabbed it out!

    It was writhing in the air, every inch of its bones bent at inhuman angles, its fingers deformed, its wrist bones twisted. The big brother screamed and rushed forward instantly.

    Jing Xian's eyes lit up and asked Lu Yingjiu, "Is that a witch? I think her bracelet looks very similar."

    "I don't know." Lu Yingjiu looked at it for a few seconds, "I can't tell, maybe it's just random, there's no variety."

    Jing Xian was a little disappointed.

    The props are very realistic and the atmosphere is very good, but Lu Yingjiu's heart is not fluctuating.

    When they walked past against the wall, Jingxian still started to use his hands, and lightly touched the back of Ghost Hand's hand - judging from his expression, it seemed like he was shaking hands with fans at some fan meeting.

    After passing this hurdle, they suddenly went to the front of the team.

    The first big brother in the past was really fierce, and soon disappeared.

    Then, in front of Lu Yingjiu, there was a huge pot of soup, the soup glowed green and made a gurgling sound of bubbles, and the skulls and broken bones were constantly being stirred. Lu Yingjiu only felt a chill in the back of his head, and a harsh cry broke out in his ears.

    As soon as he turned his head, he saw a witch's face hanging upside down!

    His face was covered in blood, and his eyeballs popped out, trembling.

    Lu Yingjiu: "..."

    Lu Yingjiu's first reaction was to greet Jingxian: "Jingxian, come and see your witch."

    Jingxian turned his head to look at it, studied it carefully, and commented, "This model is quite cute."

    Lu Yingjiu said, "What kind of underworld aesthetic are you doing?"

    Then he thought about it, the aesthetics of ghosts should really be called "the aesthetics of the underworld".

    The two of them walked all the way like this, just like wandering the mountains and rivers.

    Lu Yingjiu's natural physique to attract ghosts seems to be vividly reflected in the haunted house. All the ghost models, all trigger mechanisms and sound effects are all greeted on his face, and Jingxian has not encountered one.

    Every time he encounters a new breed, he begins to greet Jingxian.

    "Come here, here is the werewolf you want."

    "Three more witches came."

    "These are alchemists' potions, they are making immortality potions."

    "There are still many zombies ahead, don't stand here and admire, there are still many new varieties..."

    Jingxian was deeply attracted by a small bat zombie. The little zombie roared hoarsely, trying to beat its wings to intimidate passers-by, and he looked at it with emotion in his eyes.

    No matter how Lu Yingjiu pulled him, he couldn't move.

    Seeing that the other trembling tourists were about to overtake them, Lu Yingjiu was helpless, and this time he went straight to pull Jingxian.

    Unexpectedly, with such a gentle pull, it seemed to trigger some magical mechanism, and Jing Xian was suddenly willing to take a step.

    His eyes were still glued to the bat zombie, and he tried to twist his neck to look back, but he followed Lu Yingjiu very obediently, letting him lead him forward.

    In this way, Lu Yingjiu held Jing Xian in that area.

    Jingxian still couldn't forget it, and said, "Let's put this thing in our house in the future."

    "No." Lu Yingjiu vetoed, "What do you want?"

    "Anyway, you're not afraid of it, isn't it cute to put it at the door as a decoration..."

    "No." Lu Yingjiu said, "Absolutely not. This kind of thing is not allowed in my house."

    Jingxian just gave up.

    ——He gave up so quickly, a large part of the reason was that Lu Yingjiu was still holding his hand.

    He was afraid that if he said a few more words, Lu Yingjiu would react and stop pulling him.

    Walking all the way, Jing Xian saw the imported ghosts in one breath and was satisfied. He even said that if there was a chance, he would definitely introduce some imported ghosts into the ghost world to increase the diversity of species.

    Lu Yingjiu raised his forehead and said, not to mention whether it can be successful or not, have you never heard the word "species invasion"?

    Jingxian said that it doesn't exist, but the language barrier may indeed be a big problem.

    They also admired the Chainsaw Maniac and the Scissor Maniac, as well as countless human legs spinning in the air.

    There are real NPCs in the haunted house, carrying a big chainsaw and making a humming sound, suddenly rushed out in a corner, chasing them.

    The tourists screamed and rushed forward.

    Lu Yingjiu was too lazy to move, and wanted to walk slowly, but the other tourists were running fast, and the two of them were left to stay here, and there was always a feeling of not giving the staff face.

    So he trotted a few times symbolically, pulled Jingxian, and turned several turns in a row with the piercing roar of the chainsaw, around the blood-stained wall, around the ghost hands that were scratching, and around the witches and witches of all shapes and sizes. werewolf...

    After a certain moment, the eyes suddenly opened up.

    The bright sun shines on the body, the cold atmosphere disappears, and the surrounding is full of boiling voices.

    The gloom and horror of the haunted house was swept away, and the tourists who escaped were all relieved, and then joked with each other, laughing at the reaction of their companions just now.

    The light was dazzling, Lu Yingjiu half-squinted his eyes, and it took a while to get used to it.

    After seeing so many people, he realized that he was still pulling Jingxian.

    He didn't even notice it in the haunted house just now.

    However, fortunately he was holding him all the way, otherwise Jingxian would definitely be seduced by some zombie or werewolf.

    Jingxian must be satisfied with this haunted house trip.

    Lu Yingjiu let go of his hand and asked Jingxian, "Where is the next project?"

    Jingxian spread out the map and looked around, then pointed, "Ferris wheel."

    ...

    Looking down at the Ferris wheel, there are black people's heads.

    Fortunately, now that it is close to dinner time, the number of people has been much smaller.

    The two of them came under the Ferris wheel.

    The sky was dark and twilight, and most of the light of the sky had been swallowed up by the distant mountains. The Ferris wheel was spinning slowly, and every glass window was a touch of crimson, a falling sunset.

    Lu Yingjiu thought about things while eating the small snacks given by Jing Xian.

    He is not used to relaxing, and when he is free, he can't help but let himself devote himself to careful thinking.

    At first, he was still thinking about the messages left by Zhang Nianyun and Chen Minlan.

    In such a cheerful atmosphere, it was very inappropriate to think about these things, and soon his thoughts diverged, thinking of the mango smoothie he drank today, the blue sky he saw at the top of the roller coaster, and when he was playing the torrent, Drops of icy cold water splashed on the face.

    A fresh feeling swept up, crushing those heavy thoughts.

    After that, Lu Yingjiu just stared at the huge Ferris wheel.

    Don't think about anything, just watch how it turns.

    After ten minutes of waiting, it was their turn to go up.

    Sit firmly in the seat, the cockpit slowly rises, and the door is closed. Lu Yingjiu looked out the window and saw the crowd, the earth and the little lanterns lit up at night moving away from them. A gust of wind came out, and several old trees rattled.

    The Ferris wheel is huge and very slow.

    Idle is also idle, Lu Yingjiu continued to eat the snacks in his hand, and chatted with Jing chatting for a while.

    It's not important, just talk about the past.

    For example, the section of the road before his elementary school was Kapok.

    For example, when he had nothing to do before, he would go all over the street to catch monsters and ghosts to play with him.

    For example, how did he meet Ye Feng, and how did the two become good friends later.

    As an exorcist, more often, Lu Yingjiu is acting as a listener.

    Listen to the client's story, listen to the ghost's wishes, listen to the truth of the matter...

    And he himself is not a person who has a strong desire to talk, and he will not pull the people he knows, so he starts to talk. Even in his handful of drunken experiences, he fell asleep peacefully and never talked nonsense.

    Therefore, at this moment, on this slow-moving Ferris wheel that seems to be able to spin around the world, he rarely has the opportunity and interest to tell his story to others like this.

    Jingxian listened intently, memorizing every word he said.

    It was as if he wanted to participate in Lu Yingjiu's life in this way.

    After Lu Yingjiu talked for a while, he felt tired and stopped to look out the window.

    They were almost at the highest point, and the crowd at their feet became very small. From a distance, the colorful lights of the amusement park spread out brightly, converging into a sea of ​​joy.

    And farther on the horizon, there is a residual red afterglow on the mountains, gorgeous and gorgeous.

    From this angle, the track of the roller coaster is just before the setting sun, it becomes a silhouette in the dim light, the lines are still hideous, and the screams are far away and inaudible.

    A few seconds later, the car body passed the junction of light and darkness quietly and quickly, it was sometimes illuminated by residual red, the whole body metal shone brightly, and sometimes it plunged into the shadows, and the whole body was engulfed by darkness, as if in the sun. Traveling through the night, even time can't catch up with it.

    The two watched silently for a while.

    Quiet enough to hear each other's breathing.

    Lu Yingjiu said, "Jingxian, there is something I want to ask you..."

    "Um?"

    "It's about Zhang Nianyun," Lu Yingjiu said. "Although it's not a good topic to talk about now, I've been thinking about why she committed suicide in front of her own stone tablet to worship the Tao of Heaven."

    He continued: "Could this be related to the way of heaven or cause and effect?"

    "You once said that you can solve this matter. But if these huge and complex laws are involved, not even the priest can escape."

    He looked at Jingxian and asked, "So I want to ask you, do these laws really not hurt you? I don't want you to pay any price for me, no matter what kind of price it is, it is unacceptable to me. "

    "...Oh, you're talking about this." Jing Xian leaned back and stretched out his long legs, and said lightly, "That's easy, of course it won't trouble me. Don't worry about it so much, think about it. It's more practical to think about how to grow your bar."

    "...Really?" Lu Yingjiu asked.

    Almost intuitively, he felt that Jingxian was lying.

    He was disturbed.

    The unease was like a thick shadow, capturing him at this moment and drowning him.

    "Really." Jingxian vowed, "your husband is very good. But I'm very touched that you care about me so much."

    After he finished speaking, he was going to hug Lu Yingjiu's waist, but Lu Yingjiu avoided him and said with a smile, "Why are you here again."

    - That intuition disappeared.

    It disappeared as quickly as it came, almost giving Lu Yingjiu an illusion.

    After a few more seconds, the cockpit finally reached the top.

    Jing Xian sat beside him while making a fuss, and suddenly said, "Let's take a picture."

    "Why so suddenly?" Lu Yingjiu was stunned.

    Jingxian said: "Look, how long have I been here, and we don't even have a photo!"

    Lu Yingjiu thought about it for a while, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

    He is not a person who likes to take pictures.

    Most of the friends around me are pure straight men, so the camera technology is simple.

    Every time Lu Yingjiu clicks into the circle of friends, most of the photos he sees are life photos with novel angles. There is a little more for those who have girlfriends, at least they will have a beautiful face... and those who are more straight will upload Weird travel photos, such as the one with a "yeah" in front of a waterfall, with a backlit face.

    When first joined the Green Lantern Festival, seemed to have engaged in some kind of activity and asked the newcomers to provide photos of their lives.

    Lu Yingjiu didn't have many photos. Ninety percent of his photos were distributed on the girls' mobile phones in the class when he was studying, and the remaining 0.50% were on his own mobile phones, and 0.50% on the boys' mobile phones.

    At that time, after thinking for two seconds, he found one of his... ID photos with a blue background began to be uploaded.

    Fortunately, his appearance can be played, and a photo of his ID is also very good-looking, not obtrusive.

    Now Jingxian suddenly said that he wanted to take a picture, he was a little surprised.

    Jing Xian did what he said, and took out his mobile phone on the spot.

    Facing the camera, Lu Yingjiu wasn't quite used to it, his face was sullen, and the coldness in his bones became a little heavier.

    "You laugh." Jing Xian said with a smile.

    Lu Yingjiu said, "I'm not very comfortable with taking pictures, so that's it."

    "Oh no, another one." Jingxian raised his phone again.

    Lu Yingjiu's face was still sullen, and after a few seconds, the corners of his mouth were barely raised.

    He tried his best, but he was really uncomfortable in front of the camera. In the end, his smile seemed vague, but his expression was indeed much softer.

    "Crack!"

    Jing Xian took another picture.

    ——The original lens of this phone is very dead, the face is fat two circles, the slightest flaw can be magnified a hundred times, and there is no double chin to make one. , still looks good.

    The picture freezes, and outside the window is a bustling and cheerful scene. The roller coaster whizzes past with vigour and the people screaming from the jumping machine.

    And they sat side by side in the brilliance of the setting sun, sitting in the highest sky of the entire amusement park, with smiles in their eyes.

    Jingxian put down his mobile phone, looked at it carefully, and was very satisfied: "You can see this picture, it's like a wedding photo."

    Lu Yingjiu smiled and said, "Where was the wedding photo taken like this."

    "I said I can shoot like this." Jing Xian continued to appreciate it, "How beautiful."

    "You just said which werewolf looks good," Lu Yingjiu said lazily, "I don't believe in your aesthetics anymore."

    After getting off the Ferris wheel, it happened that the last light from the sky disappeared, and the world fell into darkness.

    The street lamps came on one by one, illuminating the road.

    The two are going to eat at the restaurant.

    As he walked, he turned into a small road.

    Jingxian followed behind him and asked, "There's no one here, can I hold your hand?"

    Under the light, the skin on the back of Lu Yingjiu's neck was smooth and fair. From the shoulders and neck to the waist, there were lines as beautiful as works of art. He was so itchy when he looked at it.

    "No." Lu Yingjiu walked forward.

    "There's really no one, and no one will see it. We just pull it secretly and let go when we reach the restaurant door."

    "Can't."

    "Don't you think about it? I still have a pack of your favorite macadamia nuts."

    Lu Yingjiu stopped.

    Jingxian thought he was angry and said, "Okay, don't pull it, I'll ask you in a few minutes..." After speaking, he shoved the macadamia nuts into his hand.

    Lu Yingjiu looked back at him: "Do you really let go when you reach the restaurant door?"

    Jingxian was stunned for a moment: "Yes."

    Then Lu Yingjiu raised the corners of his mouth, with a pair of good-looking brown eyes with ridicule and a smile, and stretched out his hand to him: "Okay, let's pull it for a while."
