Chapter 179 Making a Grand Debut

On the weekend, the capital city was bathed in sunshine, which dispelled the lingering chill that had persisted since the beginning of autumn.

The "Fantasy Kingdom" amusement park was bustling with activity, the air filled with the sweet aroma of cotton candy and popcorn, mingling with the cheerful laughter of children.

Cheng Sui held Erii's hand and strolled through the amusement park.

The girl wore a beige lace dress today, and her dark red long hair was carefully braided into a somewhat intricate hairstyle. Her silky smooth hair reflected a faint light in the autumn sunlight.

At this moment, I feel like a princess who has stepped out of a fairy tale picture book, full of curiosity about everything around me.

Her crimson eyes were wide open, constantly scanning the strangely shaped buildings, the carousel that was slowly spinning to music in the distance, and the roller coaster rushing overhead.

Erii's gaze was quickly drawn to a couple who were cuddling together not far away.

The girl in the couple was standing on tiptoe, feeding the boy a half-eaten ice cream. The boy smiled and lowered his head, the gesture intimate and natural.

Erii tilted her head, seemingly trying to understand the meaning behind this behavior.

She looked down at the large ball of pink cotton candy in her hand, then looked up at Cheng Sui beside her.

She imitated the girl, carefully pinching off a small piece of marshmallow, and then held it up to Cheng Sui's mouth.

Her movements were somewhat clumsy, her eyes filled with anticipation and nervousness, and in the sunlight, a faint blush unconsciously rose on her fair cheeks.

Cheng Sui was slightly taken aback, then smiled, lowered her head, and put the cotton candy in her mouth.

"Thank you, Erii," Cheng Sui said with a smile.

Erii's eyes curved into two beautiful crescent moons, and a gentle smile appeared on her face.

But just as she looked up and smiled, Cheng Sui's gaze darkened slightly.

He noticed that on the girl's fair neck, he could vaguely see several traces that looked like bluish-black blood vessels.

This is a sign of Erii's bloodline deteriorating. Although the traces of these bluish-black veins are much fainter than when she was in Japan, they are still there.

It seems that Erii's bloodline deterioration problem is more serious than she imagined.

Cheng Sui's expression remained unchanged, but he couldn't help feeling a little nervous. Resolving Erii's bloodline issue was now extremely urgent.

Not far from them, on the second-floor terrace of a cartoon-themed café, a handsome man was elegantly holding a cup of black coffee, his gaze piercing through the bustling crowd and landing precisely on Cheng Sui and Erii.

He had a head of brilliant short blond hair, a carefully groomed mustache, and a deep-set face. He bore at least a 70% resemblance to Caesar and Gattuso, but his demeanor was more composed and reserved. He was Pompeii Gattuso, the younger brother of Frost Gattuso and the current patriarch of the Gattuso family.

Pompeii gently put down his coffee cup, his left eye slightly narrowed.

Deep within the pupil of that eye, a blue light, representing wisdom, shimmered, as if it could penetrate appearances and see directly to the essence of things.

He had come here secretly out of curiosity as to why Jormungandr and Chu Zihang had met again in the capital. After all, Chu Zihang was a key figure in his plan, and he didn't want his pawn to have too much contact with Jormungandr.

But Pompeii himself never expected that he would make such an unexpected discovery here.

A more interesting objective than investigating Jormungandr.

Cheng Sui, a newly promoted ace specialist at Kassel College, is a mixed-race individual who shone brightly during his trip to Japan, and a genius with strange abilities.

Pompeii silently recalled the information about Cheng Sui in his mind.

According to information gathered by the family, this person possesses an unprecedented ability that appears to be spatial teleportation.

Just now, Pompeii witnessed Cheng Sui and the red-haired girl appear without warning in a corner of the amusement park, as if they had manipulated space to teleport.

This ability goes beyond the scope of "word magic." Even the great Nidhogg did not have the authority to manipulate space. How did this hybrid with extremely inferior bloodline manage to do it?

Pompeii smiled knowingly.

He did not act immediately.

On the enemy's home turf, facing a powerful opponent of unknown ability, it would be the most foolish thing to act rashly.

He prefers to have everything under his control, letting his prey unknowingly walk into his carefully laid traps.

Pompeii gracefully took out his phone from his pocket and dialed a number.

The call was connected almost instantly.

"It's me," Pompeii said calmly. "Let's begin."

The instructions are brief and clear.

A moment later, all the loudspeakers in the amusement park blared out at the same time, broadcasting a sweet female voice.

"Dear visitors, hello everyone! To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Fantasy Kingdom Amusement Park, the group has decided that, starting now, the park will be completely free of charge! All tickets and all rides are free! We welcome more friends to come and share this joy with us!"

At the same time, news about "Fantasy Kingdom Amusement Park Free Day" began to spread like wildfire on major social media, news websites, and short video platforms.

Countless citizens, attracted by the word "free", are flocking here like a tide.

Almost as soon as the broadcast started, Cheng Sui keenly sensed a subtle feeling of being watched.

The gaze wasn't hostile, but it made Cheng Sui feel extremely uncomfortable, as if someone could see right through him.

Immediately afterwards, he noticed the unusual changes in his surroundings.

The park, which was originally bustling but relatively orderly, is now experiencing an abnormal surge in visitor numbers.

More and more people poured in from all directions, each with the excitement of getting a good deal on their face, and the atmosphere of the entire park began to become crowded and noisy.

Cheng Sui calmly looked around, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding buildings and high places, but he did not find the source of the gaze.

He silently tightened his grip on Erii's hand, making sure that he and Erii wouldn't be separated in the crowd.

Meanwhile, at another entrance to the amusement park.

Xia Mi grabbed Chu Zihang's arm and practically dragged him from the subway station to here.

Thanks to the Dragon King's powerful regenerative abilities, her injuries have been almost completely healed, and she has now returned to her energetic and mischievous self.

"Senior brother, look, this is the amusement park, one of the three legendary holy places for couples to date!" Xia Mi pointed to the huge castle-like gate in front of her and introduced it with great interest, like a tour guide.

She brought Chu Zihang here specifically to make amends.

Of course, this was just her side of the story. Chu Zihang didn't really care about the amusement park; he only came to ride the carousel anyway.

Chu Zihang remained expressionless, seemingly oblivious to the bustling scene around him.

Xia Mi leaned closer to him, trying to find some emotion in that icy face.

"How's it going? Doesn't it feel like the air is thick with the saccharine scent of romance?"

Chu Zihang ignored her.

Undeterred, Xia Mi continued, "Generally speaking, on your first visit to an amusement park, you definitely have to go to the haunted house, roller coaster, and Ferris wheel—these are the three magic weapons for strengthening your bond!"

She counted on her fingers, with an expression that said, "I know a lot."

"How about we go ride the most thrilling roller coaster first? Let me tell you, it's super fun!" Xia Mi pointed to the towering roller coaster in the distance, its tracks as intricate as a twisted rope, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

However, Chu Zihang seemed not to hear her words.

His gaze passed over the crowd and landed on the huge, slowly rotating wheel in the distance.

Ferris wheel.

In the sunlight, the glass of each cabin reflects a dazzling light, like diamonds hanging in the sky.

"Can I sit on that one?"

He suddenly spoke, his voice as always, devoid of any emotion.

Xia Mi's smile froze.

She followed Chu Zihang's gaze and saw the huge, slowly moving Ferris wheel. Then, as if she understood something, she smiled mischievously and nudged Chu Zihang gently with her elbow.

"Senior, you're afraid of heights?"

Chu Zihang did not refute. He withdrew his gaze, silently turned around, and walked towards the Ferris wheel ticket office.
