I set you up on a blind date, and you've managed to overcome all the weirdness?

Lin Yan led the couple into the dark passage on the left.

As soon as Lin Yan stepped into the passage, he sensed something was wrong.

The ceiling was too low, the walls on both sides were too close together, and the floor felt slightly soft underfoot.

It feels somewhat similar to the "walking on clouds" style slippers that were popular for a while.

The size of the entire passageway doesn't seem to be designed for adults; it's more like it was designed for children.

In this passageway built to children's dimensions, he, an adult, felt completely out of place.

Lin Yan's gaze swept across both sides of the passage.

The walls were covered with what should have been cute children's protective padding, printed with cartoon frogs in various poses.

But now the frogs' smiles seem extremely deliberate, as if someone forcibly pulled up the corners of their mouths.

Sizzle... sizzle...

As the three were walking forward, they suddenly heard the sound of electricity ringing out again.

"Looking and looking for a friend, I found one..."

"Found one...found one...found one..."

Lin Yan frowned. Was the tape stuck?

The lyrics were played on an endless loop, the volume fluctuating, echoing through the passageway.

The couple following behind Lin Yan had long lost the ease they had when they first entered.

The boy had one arm around the girl and the other hand tightly holding her hand, protecting her in his arms, but his own shoulders were trembling.

Lin Yan had no interest in comforting this couple who liked to court death.

He had a strange feeling about coming from the ticket booth to here.

Happiness seems to be very important here.

One of his hands was always in his pocket, gripping the handle of the exorcising revolver.

With his other hand, he took out his phone and turned on the screen.

The signal bar in the upper left corner is displayed as a glaring red cross.

He opened the matchmaking group and tried to send a message to Chu Chu to ask if she still had any information about this family water park.

But a gray circle appeared next to the message.

Can't send it out.

This place has become an information silo.

Lin Yan glanced at the interface of the matchmaking group.

The only saving grace is that the red "Offline Meeting" button is still lit up.

This is the source of his confidence to come here alone.

As long as he presses the button, Saya will appear beside him.

But he can't press it now.

This is your last resort to save your life.

Before figuring out the monstrous and bizarre killing patterns of this demon, rashly calling for help might lead to Saya being restricted by some unknown rule.

After walking through the passage for about two hundred meters, the view suddenly opened up ahead.

They arrived at a rather spacious indoor space.

A sign hangs above the doorway:

[Children's Water Play Area]

No wonder the interior design along the way was geared towards children.

Once inside, the lights were much brighter than in the passageway, but also much more glaring.

There is a circular pool in the middle, filled with water.

Dozens of frog-shaped balls of various sizes floated densely on the water's surface.

It's the kind of frog that you sell baby frogs for.

Water was flowing out of the inlet next to the ball, but the ball in the pool remained motionless.

"Buzz".

Just then, Lin Yan's phone, which had been without signal, suddenly vibrated.

He quickly lowered his head.

【Cyber ​​Wraith Chu Chu】: Brother... the walls over there are too thick, I can only squeeze in a little bit of data.

【Cyber ​​Wraith - Chu Chu】: 【Image】

Another picture?

Lin Yan clicked on it.

It was a screenshot of an old webpage that was not fully loaded.

Judging from the title and layout, Lin Yan guessed that this was an internal commendation document from when the Big Frog Family Water World was still in operation.

Most of the text inside was blurred into a mosaic, and it was difficult to recognize no matter how much you zoomed in.

Lin Yan squinted, only able to barely make out a small section of text in the middle:

"Comrade Chen Shu has been on duty for three years without being late or leaving early, and the parent-child games he proposed have significantly increased visitor traffic to the water play area."

According to the union's investigation, Comrade Chen Shu had been using his personal time to study parent-child interaction, and his family members had also participated in the testing...

Lin Yan frowned slightly.

Is this supposed to be a personal commendation notice?

Who is Chen Shu?

Just as he was pondering the usefulness of this intelligence.

"What...what is that?!"

The girl in the couple behind them suddenly gasped, covered her mouth, and pointed her trembling finger at the center of the pool.

Lin Yan looked in the direction she was pointing.

His attention was on his phone, so he didn't notice.

In the very center of the wading pool, surrounded by a bunch of plastic balls.

Suddenly, a figure appeared with its back to them.

It was wearing a frog mascot costume.

The pool water just reached its waist.

It raised its hands and hugged a frog ball in front of it.

Then, forcefully press the ball into the water.

Let go.

The ball bounced up, splashing water.

It hugged me again and pressed me down.

"Splash... splash..."

The movements are mechanical and monotonous, repeating endlessly, like a broken, low-quality robot that has stopped working.

The background nursery rhyme was still stuck on the line "Found one... found one..."

The frog doll's silhouette suddenly tilted its head slightly during a break in the lyrics, as if trying to identify some sound.

The boy immediately felt a sense of impending doom. He grabbed the girl's hand and tugged at it, unconsciously backing away.

"Don't move."

Hearing the sound behind him, Lin Yan gave a cold warning.

It's fine if they like to court disaster, but don't drag yourselves into it.

The boy froze, one foot dangling in mid-air, unsure whether to step down or pull it back.

Lin Yan stared at the back of the frog doll, his brain working at a rapid pace.

Is this the work of that photography blogger who was transformed into something bizarre?

Or is it a bizarre phenomenon that has always existed in this area?

What is it waiting for?

Just then.

Suddenly, a sharp electric current swept through.

It completely overshadowed the nursery rhymes playing on the cassette tape in the background.

The sweet, childlike voice rang out again.

"Game time is up."

"Parents, please play a passing game with your children."

"Those who fail are disqualified from happiness."

The voice just fell.

The frog doll in the center of the pool suddenly stopped moving.

The ball bounced out of the water and floated to one side.

"Click-clack...click-clack-clack..."

Its body didn't turn, but the huge frog headgear twisted backward 180 degrees at an angle that a human cervical spine could never achieve!

The eyes on the hood looked exactly like those of a real frog, and were currently looking at the three people on the shore.

It slowly raised the frog ball in its hand.

Lin Yan then noticed that there was a big smiley face drawn on the frog ball.

The edges of the smiling face were seeping with a thick, blackened layer of blood.

"Whoosh!"

No one was given time to react.

The frog suddenly swung its arm.

The ball whistled through the air and hurtled directly towards the boy and girl behind Lin Yan.

"what?"

The boy let out a scream and instinctively stretched out his hands.

Bang!

The ball slammed into his chest, and he staggered back two steps.

He suddenly remembered the broadcast, and after a flurry of frantic thrashing, he finally managed to catch the ball.

"then."

The frog in the pond opened its mouth, its horizontal pupils glancing at the boy.
