Are you afraid?

Nie Xi was startled, jumped away, and looked behind him warily.

The boy who asked the question, with a tender face, looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a tight yellow-green striped sweater with a round belly, and brown pants that were also tight.

The fat on his cheeks occupied the positions of many facial features, and Nie Xi couldn't tell whether he was pouting in displeasure or just his mouth was always like this.

Behind him, there are a dozen or so children, surrounded by stars like the moon.

"It's right to follow our 'Dark Night Batian Gang'. This area is our territory."

Standing next to Xiaopangdun, a young man with many freckles on his face and a voice that had changed his voice said proudly.

……

what help?

Nie Xi thought he heard it wrong, or his brain could not accept such phrases for the time being.

"Hey, talking to you, I got something on my face, and I don't know how to wipe it off. Are you stupid? What's your name, say it yourself." The freckled boy shouted.

As the boy's voice rose, many children came running from all around.It seems that they are all supporting the scene for their boss.

Nie Xi's previous injuries are still not healed, and he has strange asphalt on his body. It would be unwise to start a conflict with these children again.

"...Call me Nie Xi. I just want to ask, what is going on with this gang? It's my first time visiting this amusement park, so I don't know much about it."

"Nie Xi, right? A rookie like you must maintain respect when speaking in front of the boss of our 'Dark Night Bastard Gang'." The freckled boy said airily.

...Nie Xi felt that he had to use a lot of skill to hold back his temper.

"...Excuse me, what does gang mean? Will there be any changes after joining?" Nie Xi finally swallowed his anger.

"This amusement park is a secret base that only belongs to our children. You can play anything here, and you can find all kinds of delicious food. The people here listen to us. There will never be any teachers and parents who come to talk about it. However, more and more people know about such a good place recently. If you don’t queue for a long time for many facilities, you can’t enjoy them at all. Then our Dark Night Bastard Gang occupied the Ferris wheel and pirate ship in this amusement area. You can only use it if you are a member of our gang!" The freckled boy pointed to the Ferris wheel and pirate ship that Nie Xi was very familiar with.

Is it that powerful?Then how come he himself, a newcomer, has the big brother of the gang to personally recruit members?

Of course, that's not what Nie Xi said.

"Then I would like to ask again, your gang is so good, can I join directly if I want?"

"Hmph, that's a good idea. If you want to join a gang, you have to start as a reserve member first!" The freckled boy pointed to a dozen or so children standing under the ferris wheel who seemed to have nothing to do. "Have you seen them? They are all reserve members. Those who can win a ride in a challenge match are official gang members."

"When can I grab it? If you have to wait for a long time, and you can't move around at will, wouldn't it be a disadvantage?" Nie Xi asked pretending to be stupid.

"It doesn't take long. Although there is no clock here, all the mechanical facilities will create a robot every time. At that time, we can initiate a challenge. It will be the referee for us." The freckled boy said.

Is it the gear man?However, in the future, he didn't realize that the Gearman had the function of being a referee, and thought that the other party was just a hidden NPC who managed the carousel.

"The circus and haunted house facilities can be challenged here, let the robot judge?" Nie Xi asked.

"You still know the circus area and the haunted house area, are you really a newcomer?"

The 'boss', who has never spoken again, spoke.The tiny eyes squeezed by the flesh on his cheeks stared straight at Nie Xi.

"...Well, I just walked along the main road, but it felt weird looking there, so I still didn't go in, and finally came here." Nie Xi made up a lie.

"You are smart, you are the most suitable rookie to come to us!" The freckled boy sneered.

"Well, no matter what you said is true or not, anyway, you don't have a logo on your body, as long as you join us and win the challenge, you can officially become a member of us." The 'boss' tugged on the sweater that was shrinking up . "Have you decided yet?"

Nie Xi originally wanted to see the situation more before talking, but these children are still too tender after all, and their emotions are written on their faces.Like this little fat man, although his tone was asking, he clearly expressed his intention to do something if he disagreed.After all, if you think about it, if the competition is so frequent and fierce, it is also expected that they don't want to leave a possible new force for other gangs.

"I decided to join." Nie Xi could only say so.

"Well, prepare the weapon yourself. I think the claws on your hand are a bit too short. I advise you to find a longer weapon."

The boss pouted, as if reminding him kindly.

After the fat boy finished speaking, he took out something from his pocket and handed it to the freckled boy. After the boy took it, he wanted to press it on Nie Xi's chest.

"What is this?" Nie Xi avoided.

"Prove that you are a fighter of our gang!" The freckled boy said displeased. "If you're not on the challenge stage, do you want to be beaten by your own people?"

"Then let me do it myself. I can't get in touch with other people." Nie Xi was careful not to get attached to others.

"Crazy." The freckled boy threw the sticker on the ground and rolled his eyes. "When the robot appears, you must come here immediately. Don't run away, or our gang will not let you go!"

Nie Xi picked up the stickers on the ground and found that there were two. On the white stickers, there were small stick figures of a Ferris wheel and a pirate ship.

At first he thought it would say the Dark Night Batian Gang!

He looked up at the freckled boy and the fat boy again, and found that the two red and gold stickers on their chests were the same.

Do you use colors to distinguish levels...

Nie Xi didn't say anything, and stuck the white sticker on his chest.

Seeing the newcomer press the stickers, the freckled boy and his chubby boss seemed to have finally completed the task, and walked away without saying a word.

Although Nie Xi still had a lot of questions, there was nothing the other party could do if he ignored him, so he had to take a closer look at the amusement park at this time.

Unlike the empty amusement parks in the future, there are many, many children in the amusement parks of this period, and there are more or less stickers on their chests.

Nie Xi paid special attention to a child whose chest was not a Ferris wheel or a pirate ship. When he walked under the Ferris wheel, he gave a big cotton candy to a person with a red sticker from the Dark Ye Batian Gang, and the other person took off the sticker on his chest. He came down and pressed a ferris wheel mark on the back of the opponent's hand.

Nie Xi didn't understand what was going on, so he tentatively stopped a child who was also a reserve member like him, and asked what the two were doing.

"Ah, did you just come in?" The child who was stopped by Nie Xi was very thin, with withered hair and holes in his clothes, giving the impression that life was very difficult in the past.

"Yeah, can you tell me what's going on?" Nie Xi was very kind to the child.

"No one told me when I came here. Don't bother me. I'm very hungry and tired." After the other party said this, he ignored Nie Xi and lay down on the ground.

"..." Nie Xi looked around and found that many people's eyes were as numb and indifferent as this child's. He probably would give the same answer to anyone who asked.

After thinking for a while, Nie Xi took out the ice cream from the item bar.

"Is it okay to use this to satisfy your hunger?"

When the ice cream was taken out of the item bar, it looked like it had just been taken out of the refrigerator. It hadn't melted at all, and the pink ice cream was covered with jam, with a lot of nuts covered with hoarfrost.

The boy immediately raised his head when he smelled the sweet scent. After seeing the tempting ice cream, he looked around vigilantly, then quickly grabbed it in his hand, and bit off half of it in one bite.

Nie Xi told the other party to slow down, it's not good to eat ice so fast, the other party has already finished eating and is licking his fingers.

"Ah, I've never eaten this before, it's really delicious." The boy smacked his mouth reluctantly. "For the sake of giving me such delicious food, let me tell you what I know."

"It's like what the white hat told us when we came to the amusement park. This amusement park has everything, but it has been divided up by the people who came before." The thin child buttoned the hole in the knee of his trousers, carrying Said in a dejected tone. "At the beginning, you can't play anything, and later you will find that you can't eat anything when you are hungry. In the end, like us, you can only choose a gang to join and strive to become an official member, and then you have the 'permission'. You can exchange food and play with other gang members, otherwise you have to wait to die..."

"Can't you just leave the amusement park?" Nie Xi asked in surprise.

The thin child looked at Nie Xi like a monster. "Didn't you realize that from the moment you entered the amusement park, you couldn't see the exit?"

Nie Xi's heart tightened, thinking carefully that after he entered the amusement park with Chidi Qianli and the others, he really didn't notice whether the gate behind him was still there.

Seeing Nie Xi's face change, the child seemed to have some fun, and added another sentence.

"But not long ago, I saw a person leave."

Having said that, he deliberately paused, showing a mocking smile.

"A child who just happened to be an adult, and a gang leader, was directly pulled up to the sky by an invisible thing around his neck, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. No one dared to say a word."

Nie Xi was speechless for a moment.

The boy glanced up and down at Nie Xi.

"Although I don't know what the event is yet, it's safer to find some weapons that you can get your hands on. The referee is about to appear. You should work harder and try to let us win this time. I'm almost out of strength."

Isn't it the first time this kid has joined the war?

"Then what will happen if you lose in the game? What will happen if you can't win?" Nie Xi asked repeatedly.

"I can't tell you, otherwise you might be too scared to play. What you have to do now is to relax and cultivate your energy like me." The boy sat cross-legged on the ground and waved to Nie Xi.

Nie Xi was full of doubts and couldn't solve it. He also knew that he might have to participate in a challenge to get more information, and if he was lucky enough to win, he would become an official gang member and have a higher degree of freedom to explore the amusement park.

Of course, his main purpose is to get the current heart of the gear man, and if he has the chance to succeed, he doesn't need to worry about other issues.

"You rest first, I'll do something else."

The boy glanced at Nie Xi, sighed, and closed his eyes to rest.
