"Well, thank you so much!" Shinjo glared at his younger sister, then asked, somewhat annoyed.

"By the way, how is he?"

"Who is it?" Mayumi didn't react for a moment.

"Who else could it be? Of course, it's your boyfriend. He should have called you, right? Race car drivers travel all over the world," Shinjo said.

"Huh?! Mayumi-chan has a boyfriend? You've never mentioned it to me." Karen was a little surprised.

"Didn't I mention it? But it's not too late to bring it up now." Mayumi looked up at the sky, a happy smile on her face, and said with a grin, "His name is Aoki Takuma, he's a very good racer, he's already won three world championships this year alone."

"A world-class champion? That's impressive!"

"By the way, Karen-chan, how's your progress?" Mayumi asked, clinging to Karen's arm, her eyes gleaming with gossip.

"My progress?" Karen asked, looking puzzled.

"Oh, it's about your progress with Dr. Shen," Mayumi whispered in Karen's ear, then asked with a grin, "How far have things progressed between you two?"

I don't know what Mayumi said, but Karen's cute face turned bright red in an instant, and she quickly shook her head and said:

"Shen Jun and I are just good friends."

"Oh? Well then you'd better do your best. If someone else takes her away, you'll be crying." Mayumi pinched Karen's cheek and encouraged her with a smile.

She only brought her older brother over so he could be her protector; she had no intention of setting Karen up with him.

Karen is so cute, my brother is no match for her at all.

She treated Karen like a younger sister.

As the two were chatting, a commotion nearby caught their attention.

"Why are you crying? That's just a fake ghost, what's there to cry about?"

"coward!"

"It's embarrassing to be with Haruki, shouting so loudly!"

"Yes, it's incredibly embarrassing."

"coward."

The two children kept pushing and shoving the boy named Chunshu.

"Don't hit them!" The little girl beside the three stopped them from continuing.

"Let's go ride the roller coaster," one of them said.

"Walk."

After saying that, the two boys abandoned Chunshu and turned to leave.

But the girl who was protecting Haruki called out to them.

"Wait, I want to go too!"

"Forget it, your brother is too scared to ride the roller coaster," the chubby boy said impatiently as he turned around.

"He starts wetting his pants whenever we go to high places!" another boy in a gray-white shirt chimed in.

Akiko ran up to Haruki:

"elder brother……"

The two guys who had been mocking Haruki ran back, grabbed his shoulders, and shook him back and forth, urging him on:

"Come on! Let's ride the roller coaster!"

"Let's go!"

Faced with their mockery, Chunshu lowered her head and let them bully her.

"Don't bully my brother! Don't do this!" Akiko said angrily.

"These two kids are really going too far! How can they bully people like this?" Karen, biting her straw, wanted to go over and do something about it.

"Leave this to me," Shinjo said, raising his hand to stop him.

Xincheng has experienced something like this before.

He knew very well that if such a thing was not handled properly, it could easily cause psychological trauma and affect a person's personality.

"Okay." Karen sat back down.

Xincheng stopped Karen, then stood up from his chair, strode towards the two of them, and scolded them:

"Stop! How can you bully people like this?"

"Oh no! Let's go!"

When the two children saw the adults coming, they turned around and ran away.

Akiko took out a handkerchief and wiped away Haruki's tears, saying with concern:

"Brother, are you alright?"

Chunshu looked at Xincheng and turned away somewhat embarrassed.

"Are you alright?" Akiko asked worriedly.

Seeing this heartwarming scene, Shinjo smiled, walked over to Chunshu, and comforted her.

Once Haruki had calmed down a bit, Shinjo brought the two children back and asked him what had happened.

Chunshu could sense Xincheng's goodwill, so she confided in him:

"They knew perfectly well that I was afraid of heights."

"So, they deliberately embarrassed me in front of my sister!"

As Chunshu spoke, she burst into tears again, feeling wronged.

"Mayumi, Karen, why don't you two take Akiko to ride the Ferris wheel?" Shinjo turned around and said.

"Hmm?" Mayumi looked at Shinjo with some confusion.

"We boys have things to say, right?" Shinjo walked up to Haruki, patted him on the shoulder, and smiled.

"I understand." Mayumi crouched down and said to Akiko, "Akiko, shall we go ride the Ferris wheel?"

"But..." Akiko looked at her brother with some concern.

"It's okay, go ahead!"

"Mm." Akiko nodded.

"Okay, let's go!" Mayumi took Akiko's hand and walked with Karen toward the Ferris wheel.

As Mayumi, Karen, and Akiko walked away, Shinjo began to tell his story.

"I was born in Okinawa."

"You won't believe it, but I was a terrible swimmer when I was little because I was afraid of water."

"Every time I go to the beach with kids, they make fun of me."

"However, there was one time when my younger sister Mayumi..."

Chunshu looked up in confusion.

Seeing Haruki's puzzled look, Shinjo smiled and explained:

"That woman in the white dress from earlier almost drowned in the sea!"

"Really?" Haruki was surprised.

"Yes." Shinjo nodded and continued, "I jumped into the sea without hesitation to save her. At that time, I didn't even realize I was afraid of water, and that's how I gradually learned to swim. After that, no one dared to make fun of me anymore."

After saying that, Xincheng suddenly put his arm around Chunshu's shoulder, looked him into the eyes, and said solemnly:

"As a boy, one day you will have to face what you are afraid of, and you can't back down!"

"Besides, you're the older brother, so you have a duty to protect your younger sister at all times, right?"

"Yes!" Haruki nodded heavily.

"That's more like it!" Shinjo smiled and ruffled Haruki's hair.

A slight smile appeared on Chunshu's face.

At that moment, a pale yellow beam of light suddenly appeared, attracting their attention.

After reaching a certain distance, the pale yellow beam of light exploded like fireworks, scattering countless fragments in all directions before disappearing into the air.

Xincheng looked up at the strange phenomenon that had suddenly appeared and muttered to himself:

"What's going on?!"

"what!"

Not far away, a mechanic riding a bicycle suddenly fell down and let out a scream.

Shinjo quickly rushed forward and helped him up, asking, "Hey, are you alright?"

"My bicycle looks like it hit something!"

"What did you bump into?" Shinjo looked ahead twice.

There's absolutely nothing around here.

But recalling the strange phenomenon that had just occurred, Shinjo also felt that something was amiss.

So he stood up and walked straight ahead, intending to see for himself.

After taking only a few steps, Xincheng's head seemed to hit something, and he fell to the ground with a 'thud'.

"Ouch!" Xincheng clutched his forehead, wincing in pain.

"What's wrong with you?" Haruki asked Shinjo, puzzled.

There's clearly nothing in front of him, but this older brother doesn't seem to be lying.

Haruki took two steps forward, then carefully placed his hand in the air in front of him.

To his surprise, his hand actually touched a real object, just like a wall.

"It's a wall!" Haruki turned around and shouted to Shinjo, "There's a wall here!"

"Huh?" Shinjo looked surprised. He quickly got up from the ground, came to Haruki's side, reached out and touched it. Sure enough, he touched the "invisible wall".

Shinjo touched around and said incredulously, "It really is! An invisible wall."

Xincheng looked around and realized that not only they, but all the visitors in the amusement park seemed to be trapped by this invisible wall.

"What is this?"

"I don't know, how could this happen!"

"It seems we can't get out!"

Some short-tempered tourists even tried to smash things with tools, but they couldn't break through the transparent wall at all.

Seeing this, Xincheng knew that this matter was probably going to be troublesome.

Without hesitation, he immediately took out the PDI from his pocket and contacted headquarters.

"Headquarters, this is Xincheng. There's something unusual happening."
