Both Michael and Zion jumped down, emerging from the vent clad in clothes that were disheveled and distorted.
The entire 15th floor was a vast amusement park. However, the atmosphere in the amusement park was rather eerie.
"This feeling is so familiar..." In an instant, a sharp headache shot through me. I instinctively raised my hand to grasp at my hair, seeking relief from the pain.
This amusement park was a replica of the one donated by Huma Charity to Double Stars Welfare Home.
All of the amusement facilities were donated. The amusement park, which had long been abandoned, was located in the backyard of the orphanage. Why did the murderer want to recreate this place?
"Welcome to Double Stars Amusement Park, a place for everyone to enjoy!" The eerie voice echoed once again.
I seemed to hear laughter in the air and the sound of children at the orphanage playing with toys. I faintly recalled that my parents applied for the amusement park several times and tirelessly negotiated with the charity to make it happen.
However, there was an accident at the amusement park. A child from the orphanage had his legs trapped in the roller coaster, resulting in amputation and paralysis. Consequently, the park was closed. Subsequently, the orphanage prohibited the children from visiting the amusement park.
"This..." I walked to the carousel and saw the old-fashioned ride from ten years ago. The wooden horses looked strange with their weird eyes. Even the music sounded odd.
"What in the world does that lunatic want to do?" Zion furrowed his brows and cursed.
"Who knows what he wants to do? He's a lunatic..." Howard's voice was trembling in his panic, and it was clear that he was trying to hide something.
I looked at him suspiciously. "What do you know?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Howard refused to admit it.
I walked forward along the carousel without asking any questions. There were slides, indoor roller coasters, and swing rides...
"They should all be on this floor. Let's go meet them first," Zion exclaimed, walking forward to locate Steven and the rest.
I stood there, gazing blankly at the rides. What was the message the killer sought to convey?
