Old Domain Bizarre

Chapter 6 Children's Palace

With the help of the lollipop, the body, which was just covered in wounds, is gradually scabbing over and the swelling is subsiding. Although the process is slow, it is still a visible recovery.

At this moment, Zhang Wenda was extremely shocked. In this world, this thing actually had the effect of drinking red wine?

So that fatso wasn't surprised at all by his serious injuries, because he thought they were easily treatable?!

Zhang Wenda, with a lollipop in his mouth, thought for a moment, then called out to the fat man not far away, "Fatty! Thanks for the candy! When I'm rich in the future, I'll definitely take you as my godson!"

"You're so kind of me, I'm giving you candy, and you're still taking advantage of me."

He took out the lollipop and looked at it curiously, only to find that it was just ordinary candy, but the effect on his body was undeniable.

"It's alright. Although this world is very strange, it seems to have both bad and good aspects. As for how it is, we'll have to find out for ourselves."

At this moment, Zhang Wenda regained his spirits and was ready to face the world again. So many things in the past couldn't break him, so what was this little thing?

With a candy in his mouth, he pulled out his student handbook and started memorizing it. He refused to believe that such a simple thing could stump him.

Along the way, Zhang Wenda followed behind the other students, stopping and starting, which really felt like a kind of picnic. If it weren't for this strange place, it would have felt even more like one.

Just as he was about to memorize it completely, the chubby boy in front of him suddenly stopped, and he bumped into his back without noticing. "Why did you stop?"

"Mouse, we've arrived."

Upon hearing the other person's words, Zhang Wenda looked up and saw a large rainbow archway appear in front of them. The archway looked like it was made of cheap plastic, and there were white clouds with smiling faces hanging on it.

"Is this the Children's Palace?" Suddenly, the rainbow archway lit up with flashing lights, startling Zhang Wenda.

As he retreated swiftly like a frightened bird, he heard a catchy and cheerful children's song drifting slowly from the other side.

"It rained all night~ The weather is nice this morning~ I dreamt of you again last night~ We played happily together..."

"This... isn't this the theme song of Animation City?" Zhang Wenda thought to himself in surprise. The music brought back memories of his childhood, when he would sit in front of the TV at 6 pm every day, waiting for the cartoons to start.

However, under these circumstances, hearing that familiar children's song, slightly distorted, coming from the children's palace, he now felt a chill run down his spine.

"Fatty, is this the Youth Palace? It doesn't look quite right," Zhang Wenda asked his companion.

"Why doesn't it look like this? Aren't all youth centers like this?" the chubby boy asked.

As they spoke, the others, still arguing, passed through the rainbow archway and descended a concrete staircase littered with snack wrappers.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Wenda finally decided to listen to the locals and follow them inside.

As they began to descend, a damp feeling washed over them. "So the Youth Palace is underground?" Zhang Wenda wondered to himself as he walked.

After climbing one flight of stairs, the next step is the second floor in reverse, similar to the staircase in the tenement building but wider and older.

The flashlight that should have been in his schoolbag had somehow ended up in Zhang Wenda's hand.

They continued, and while Zhang Wenda was tense, the others showed no reaction and continued their heated debate. This time, however, their topic of debate was whether Jianlibao or Coca-Cola tasted better.

Zhang Wenda nervously and cautiously observed his surroundings. The cement staircase leading down seemed endless, and there was nothing overhead except for the dimly lit light bulbs connected to the grid and the damp wooden planks.

The familiar melody continued to play, growing louder as they drew closer, but this time it was a different song. "Every night I think of my mother's words, glistening tears like lupine flowers, the stars in the sky are silent, the children on the ground miss their mothers..."

"I have to say, Coca-Cola is definitely better than Jianlibao. Have you ever had Coca-Cola with ice? I have. It was my birthday once, and my mom specially brought me a bottle from the supply and marketing cooperative. It was ice cold! One sip, oh my!"

Zhang Wenda followed them down the path, and after about two minutes, a platform roughly the size of a classroom appeared before them.

The walls were covered with black cloth, and the platform was covered with a black and white checkered floor. Some odds and ends were piled up on it, including boxes, bottles, and even a bicycle. The platform was almost completely filled with them.

A person dressed as a plush toy was tidying up the clutter. When they heard footsteps, the plush toy turned around with its big head.

It was a purple-furred rabbit with red eyes. Its head was tilted to one side, and it had to adjust it every now and then, which made it look rather comical.

"Hello, teacher!" The sound of all the students shouting in unison at the rabbit in front of them startled Zhang Wenda.

"Is this a teacher?" Zhang Wenda secretly sized up the other person. This was a bit of a blind spot for him. He wasn't sure if there were any teachers dressed as rabbit dolls playing with them at the Children's Palace.

"Maybe so, otherwise why would Xiaoming go to the Children's Palace so many times every day?"

When he saw the plush rabbit walking towards him, Zhang Wenda's heart jumped again. He quickly lowered his head, not daring to look any further, for fear of triggering some new rule.

As the ceiling light bulb flickered intermittently, the plush toy began to speak. His voice was that of a normal man, but it also carried a faint sound of a cassette tape turning.

"Please be sure to follow the rules during the event. If anyone deliberately causes trouble or misbehaves, we will tell your teacher."

Just as Zhang Wenda was looking down and hadn't figured out where the Youth Palace discipline had come from, he suddenly saw a furry rabbit leg standing straight in front of him.

The atmosphere froze for a moment, and cold sweat began to seep from Zhang Wenda's forehead. The scene frightened him so much that he almost stopped breathing.

"What did I do wrong again? Is it wrong to bow my head?!"

After a long three seconds, a brightly colored notebook was handed to the rabbit's leg, with several large, crooked words written on it in colored crayons: "Old Ding Takes You on a Tour of the Children's Palace."

Below the character "宫" (gong), there's a simple sketch of an old man named Ding, the same old man who owes me two eggs, saying he'd pay me back in three days, but he said he'd pay me back in four.

When Zhang Wenda reached out and took it with a trembling hand, he saw the rabbit leg in front of him finally move towards the classmate next to him.

"Damn, that scared me to death! I thought something had gone wrong again." Zhang Wenda raised his head slightly and noticed that everyone had a copy of Old Man Ding's guide, which seemed to be the normal procedure.

After all the items were distributed, Rabbit lifted the curtain to reveal an old wooden door with the words "Serve the People" written in red.

With the clanging of keys, a long, narrow corridor appeared before Zhang Wenda.

"Students, the Children's Palace is open from 12:00 noon to 6:00 pm. Overnight stays are not allowed. If you encounter any situation, please refer to the guide immediately. If anything happens inside the Children's Palace that is not covered by the guide, please return to the entrance immediately."
