Chapter 292: Uncovering the Truth, Rescue by Two Friends
After Xiao Peng left, Xiao Q and Ke Bei wandered around the water park and eventually ended up at the water slide attraction.
At that moment, the two of them were standing on the ground below the water slides.
Looking at the entire massive structure.
The winding, twisting enclosed water slides.
Xiao Q commented that this must be really thrilling.
Then, following his gaze, his attention focused entirely on the endings of the five water slide channels.
The endings were, essentially, a large pool.
Except this large pool was completely sealed shut.
Xiao Q walked around the perimeter of this sealed rectangular large pool.
He discovered a problem: "Ke Bei, haven't you noticed this thing has no exit? If there's no exit, after the slide ends and everyone slides into this place, how do they get out?" Hearing Xiao Q's words, Ke Bei also realized it, so he carefully walked around it too.
There really were no doors or other exits visible.
The two looked at each other, both feeling that this water slide exuded an extremely eerie vibe.
Yes, under normal circumstances, after a slide ends, players are washed down into open areas.
It's rare to have endings that are still sealed shut.
Especially ones sealed so completely that there aren't even doors.
Could the exit be at the top?
But this thing was several meters high, and there were no ladders to climb up.
"This water slide... could there be something wrong with it?"
Xiao Q rubbed his chin, the premonition in his heart growing increasingly ominous.
He turned to Ke Bei and said, "Ke Bei, have you seen that foreign movie where blades were inserted inside water slides?"
Ke Bei nodded: "I haven't seen the full movie, but I've watched explanations about it on TikTok."
At this point, both knew what the other was thinking.
The next second, they exerted all their strength in anxiety and ran toward the high platform where the water slides began.
The two had already suspected on the plane whether Macedonia Island had problems.
Now, had they finally encountered the problem?
"Please don't be like that movie!"
Xiao Q prayed inwardly.
When the two reached the high platform via the metal stairs.
They discovered two Cherry Blossom Country girls in swimsuits entering Slide Number 1.
And what seemed to be the boss, a middle-aged white man, sat on a stool watching this scene expressionlessly.
The white boss noticed Xiao Q and Ke Bei panting as they came up.
He thought they had also come to play.
So, he pointed at the signboard.
The two looked at the signboard and found it contained the usual warnings found on other thrilling attractions - prohibiting people with heart conditions or poor health from riding.
Immediately after, the two saw the boss take two pieces of paper from a cabinet.
He handed them to them along with pens.
Xiao Q wasn't here to play.
He refused what the white boss James was handing him.
Pulling out his phone and opening the translation app, he asked James if he had seen a quite handsome Chinese male, in his twenties, come to play?
James pretended to be confused, scratching his head and explaining that several Chinese males matched that description.
"Xiao Q! No need to ask! Xiao Peng's phone is here!!!"
At that moment, Ke Bei discovered Xiao Peng's phone in a nearby basket.
Xiao Peng's phone was quite easy to recognize.
The seven-thousand-plus Fruit Phone was originally bought for him by Xiao Nuo.
Of course, too many people use Fruit Phones abroad, but Ke Bei could recognize it because Xiao Peng's phone case was quite distinctive.
His phone case had a pattern of a white woman in a swimsuit.
Seeing Xiao Peng's phone here, Xiao Q really didn't need to ask anymore - Xiao Peng had already gone down.
Xiao Q felt somewhat dazed, unavoidably irritated inside.
Afterward, he continued using his phone translation to talk with James.
"Boss, why is that exit below sealed shut?"
"Oh, that thing! Isn't it normal to be sealed? (English)"
"Fine, then let me ask you, if the exit is sealed, why aren't there even doors? How are players supposed to get out after finishing the slide?"
This question seemed to directly hit James's weak spot.
James sat in place, expressionless.
"You motherfucker!"
At this point, Xiao Q seemed to have realized why the large pool at the exit had no doors.
Because there was no need - everyone who finished the water slide was already dead anyway!!!
Xiao Q angrily cursed profanity at this moment, veins bulging on his forehead.
Grabbing James who was still sitting on the plastic stool, he roared: "You bastard! I'll make you go down and play your slide right now!!!"
Xiao Q felt in his heart that Xiao Peng was already dead.
Although he didn't know how Xiao Peng died, he was definitely dead.
Blinded by rage, he wanted to make this damn boss go down and play too.
But he clearly misjudged one thing.
That was, he couldn't defeat this boss.
Some cartoons are very unreasonable.
A weak person gets caught by a strong person.
Then because of some reason, the weak person gets stirred up by anger or something.
Enraged to the extreme, they use this to defeat the strong person.
Actually, in extreme emotional states like anger, there is indeed a combat power boost effect.
But if the power gap between both sides is too large, you'd better pray for luck!
Xiao Q and James were currently at this stage.
Although they say youth prevails in fighting, and Xiao Q was much younger than James.
But don't forget James was a serial killer, not someone Xiao Q could compare to.
Soon, Xiao Q who originally wanted to push boss James down to play, almost got pushed down himself.
If Ke Bei hadn't seen the situation turning bad and joined the fight to make it two against one, Xiao Q probably would have really gone down too.
Even with two against one, the two could only barely hold their own.
Of course, after being discovered, James didn't seem to want to stay here either. He broke free from the two, and before going down the stairs, said to Xiao Q and the other: "Among the 5 slide entrances, numbers 4 and 5 have handles. Your friend is in Slide 4. If he's lucky, he might not be dead yet. (English)"
With all the gibberish, neither of them understood what James said.
Xiao Q got up wanting to chase after him, but Ke Bei stopped him.
Meaning that saving Xiao Peng was urgent now, and even if we caught that person, we couldn't beat him!!!!
Yes, saving Xiao Peng was urgent now, but how should they save him?
Could it be that they should go in too?
"Call the hotel! Have them come!"
Xiao Q felt this was the only way to save people now, completely trying every possible desperate measure!!!!
Unbeknownst to these two anxious people, this entire scene was clearly seen by the live stream room audience.
Many people from other countries in the live stream room definitely didn't recognize Xiao Q and Ke Bei, but through their actions, they all praised them highly.
Big Bear Country - Zero: [Actually, this kind of person is more interesting than lab rats. I remember two months ago, when our Big Bear Country lab rats participated in the European-level special live stream, there was a very smart ordinary person who knew nothing, just like these two, who was terrifyingly strong and actually managed to take out three serial killers.]
China - Middle-aged Uncle: [Huh? European-level special live stream? Wait, why can your Big Bear Country participate in Asian ones? And also European ones?]
Because of the one-hour speaking restriction, another person from Big Bear Country answered.
[Although much of our territory is in Asia, strictly speaking, we're considered a European country.]
[So initially we could only participate in European ones.]
[But later, the forces behind the apartment, for some reason, allowed our Big Bear Country to participate in both European and Asian ones...]
