Feng Feng retracted his drifting thoughts and turned to look at Chito Isuzu who was busy arranging the amusement facilities. Her figure was elongated in the afterglow of the sun, making her look particularly lonely.

He walked up quickly and asked softly, “Isuzu, what did Matou Sakura whisper to you yesterday?”

Upon hearing this, Isuzu stopped what she was doing and looked at Feng Feng with a helpless look in her eyes: “What she said is like the lightest breeze in spring, erratic and unpredictable.”

“But what worries me more now is that if no new guests come to the amusement park, it will probably become a deserted park.”

As she spoke, she pointed to the empty amusement park. The setting sun dyed every corner a lonely golden color. The empty carousel seemed to still echo with yesterday’s laughter.

Sento Isuzu demanded, “If you want to know what Matou Sakura said, then find a way to provide 200,000 visitors to the amusement park.”

Hearing this, Feng Feng looked towards the gradually quiet amusement park in the distance with a firm gaze, and a sense of determination surged in his heart.

He knows that 200,000 tourists is not an easy task, but in order to solve the mystery and for this amusement park that carries countless laughter and dreams,

Feng Feng took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with determination: “Isuzu, I promise you that I will try my best to attract 200,000 tourists to the amusement park. But before that, you must tell me what Matou Sakura said to you yesterday.”

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the two of them, adding a touch of warmth to this tense conversation.

Qiandou Isuzu was slightly stunned, and then a complicated smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She slowly approached Feng Feng and whispered, as if she was revealing an ancient and mysterious secret:

“She just asked me gently, ‘If the amusement park can be revived again, are you willing to protect this laughter with me?'”

After saying that, she smiled gently, turned and walked towards the empty playground, her back lengthened in the setting sun, leaving Feng Feng standing there alone, with mixed feelings in his heart, his eyes flashing with a mixture of doubt and determination.

Feng Feng was shocked and asked quickly: “Isuzu, did Matou Sakura mention Eri? Did she say anything… bad?”

The last rays of light from the setting sun just happened to shine on Chito Isuzu’s face, reflecting her clear yet slightly meaningful eyes.

She shook her head gently, her hair fluttering in the wind, as if telling a secret unknown to others:

“No, she didn’t mention Eri at all. But her eyes seemed to contain a thousand words, especially about the future of the amusement park, full of expectations and determination.”

Having said that, Sento Isuzu’s gaze unconsciously drifted towards the empty amusement park in the distance. It used to be a sea of ​​laughter, but now it was so quiet that it made people feel desolate.

There was a subtle tenderness in her tone: “Feng Feng, perhaps, the appearance of Matou Sakura will be the beginning of a turning point for the amusement park.”

“But, the princess had a nightmare last night. In the dream, the Eri Miko sacrificed herself for you in the amusement park and then died!”

Feng Feng’s face turned pale in an instant. When he heard Sendou Isuzu mention Eri’s nightmare, his heart suddenly tightened, as if it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand.

He wanted to turn around and leave anxiously, his steps already moving unconsciously, he just wanted to return to Eri immediately and make sure she was safe.

However, Qiandou Isuzu held his sleeve tightly, her eyes full of determination and expectation. “Fengfeng, you can’t leave! You promised to attract 200,000 tourists to the amusement park, you can’t break your promise!”

Her voice was filled with unquestionable power, and her hands were clenched tightly, as if she wanted to convey this determination to Feng Feng.

The last rays of sunset shone on the entangled figures of the two people, freezing the scene into a tense and resolute picture.

Feng Feng stopped and looked back at Qiandou Isuzu, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes. Finally, he took a deep breath and nodded, as if he was making some important decision.

Feng Feng slowly took out his cell phone, the screen lit up, reflecting his serious face.

He slid the screen, showing Sento Isuzu pictures of Totsuki Academy and the Shokugeki Contest, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

“Isuzu, look, this is Totsuki Academy, where many culinary geniuses gather. The Shokugeki Contest is a stage for them to showcase their culinary skills, and every duel is thrilling.”

His finger flicked across the screen, and the scene switched to a fierce showdown, with flames dancing in the chefs’ hands and ingredients flying in the air.

“I think we can hold a small food competition in the amusement park and attract tourists with delicious food. What do you think?”

Feng Feng’s eyes were full of anticipation, as if he had already foreseen the scene of the amusement park coming back to life because of this game.

After Feng Feng and Qian Dou Isuzu quickly agreed on the specific details of the amusement park food competition, Feng Feng was anxious and hurriedly said goodbye to Isuzu and ran to the cabin where Eri was.

The setting sun has completely sunk into the horizon, night has quietly fallen, and the lights in the amusement park are sparse, adding a sense of loneliness to the hurried footsteps.

Eri’s little house emitted a warm yellow light, like a beacon in the darkness, guiding Fengfeng.

He pushed open the half-open door and saw Eri sitting by the window, gently stroking a string of prayer beads in her hands, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

The moonlight shines through the window and falls on her peaceful face, adding a soft silver glow to the tranquility.

Feng Feng stopped suddenly, and the anxiety in his heart turned into endless tenderness and determination the moment he saw Huili.

Feng Feng walked slowly into the hut. Under the moonlight, his figure seemed particularly resolute. He walked to Eri’s side and sat down gently, his eyes gentle but resolute.

He held Eri’s slightly cold hand and confessed everything about the nightmare that Chito Isuzu had told him.

After hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Eri’s eyes, but it was quickly replaced by tenderness.

Feng Feng held her hand tightly and spoke like a vow: “Eri, whether the prophecy is true or not, I will do everything I can to protect you. Just like this rosary gives you strength, I will be your shield and your light.”

As he spoke, he gently held Eri in his arms. The night outside the window was gentle, as if even the moonlight was witnessing this immortal oath.

Chapter 976: Shangri-La Opens Up a Different World

Tuesday, March 1

In the early morning, Feng Feng traveled through the city’s streets with a megaphone in hand, followed by a team of volunteers holding up colorful amusement park billboards.

On the bustling streets, Feng Feng used his passionate voice to tell the miracles and stories of Gancheng Brilliant Amusement Park. In the picture, his sweat was shining in the sun, and every word he said was like magic, attracting the attention of passers-by and awakening their inner yearning for joy.

Feng Feng did some publicity for a while, arranged the work of the amusement park staff, and returned to school.

Feng Feng stepped into the familiar and peaceful campus. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, dappled on the bluestone road, as if coating every step with golden light.

He walked through the tree-lined avenue. Students were walking in groups of three or four on both sides, some were whispering with their heads down, some were laughing loudly.

Feng Feng smiled and nodded to them. The energy and enthusiasm he brought back from the amusement park seemed to infect the people around him, and even the air was filled with a relaxed and joyful atmosphere.

Feng Feng vaguely heard the words “Shangri-La explores a strange world” and a hint of curiosity surged in his heart.

He slowed down his pace and listened attentively. Several students gathered in a circle, their eyes sparkling with excitement, discussing the game enthusiastically.

Feng Feng couldn’t help but ask, “Is this game interesting?” His voice was gentle and full of curiosity.

At this time, a gentle voice sounded: “It’s very interesting. It constructs a vast alien world that makes people feel as if they are there.”

Feng Feng looked in the direction of the voice and saw a girl with long flowing hair and gentle eyes answering with a smile. It was Sakura Matou.

There seemed to be an endless sea of ​​stars hidden in her eyes. At that moment, everything around her seemed to dim, leaving only her words echoing softly in the air.

“But this game is a disaster for our world.”

Feng Feng was gently pulled by Matou Sakura, through several corridors, and came to the infirmary in a corner of the campus.

When I opened the door, a faint smell of disinfectant mixed with an inexplicable sense of tension hit me in the face.

Inside the room, under the soft light, more than a dozen students were lying on the beds. Their faces were pale, some had their eyes closed, as if immersed in a deep dream; others were moaning softly, with their brows furrowed, revealing unbearable pain.

Medical staff were moving around, conducting examinations and treatments in a busy and orderly manner.

Feng Feng was stunned. The scene before him was completely different from the peaceful and beautiful campus he had imagined in his mind. An inexplicable feeling of heaviness quietly crept into his heart.

Feng Feng listened to Matou Sakura’s whispered explanation, and his face gradually became solemn. Although her voice was soft, it struck his heart like a heavy hammer.

The pale light of the infirmary was reflected in Matou Sakura’s eyes. She bit her lip and continued:

“After playing that game, these students’ souls were partially devoured and they fell into a long coma. Their bodies are still alive, but their consciousness is lost in that other world.”

Feng Feng glanced at the hospital beds, and every student’s face was filled with pain and helplessness.

A boy’s fingers trembled slightly, as if he was still fighting an invisible enemy in his dream; the girl next to him had tears in her eyes, and her lips curled up in an arc that seemed like a smile but also revealed despair.

The air was no longer filled with just the smell of disinfectant, but also an indescribable sadness and fear.

Feng Feng frowned, his eyes flashing with determination. He grabbed Matou Sakura’s hand and said anxiously: “We can’t just sit there and watch. We have to enter the game immediately and rescue them!”

Matou Sakura shook her head slightly, with a hint of complex emotions in her eyes: “Feng Feng, I understand your intentions, but acting impulsively will only backfire. We must first understand how this game devours the souls of players.”

As she spoke, she opened the drawer and took out a thick game guide. The words “Shangri-La explores a different world” were printed on the cover, which looked particularly strange under the dim light.

She opened the guide, her fingertips lightly running across pages of complex maps and strange monster illustrations, as if she was exploring an unknown dark world.

Feng Feng stood beside her, following her movements closely with his eyes, feeling anxious and helpless. He could only pray silently that they could find a way to rescue those students as soon as possible.

Feng Feng looked determined and said to Matou Sakura: “Sakura, you should first study how this game devours the souls of players. I must enter the game myself to see it.”

After saying that, he turned to the side and took out a gaming device from his backpack. It was a virtual reality helmet that flashed with cold light.

He gently put on the helmet, and in an instant, the surrounding scene began to distort, and Feng Feng seemed to be sucked into a vortex.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already in a strange world – Shangri-La.

The sky here is high and the land is vast, but the air is filled with a sense of oppression and danger.

Feng Feng looked around and saw mountains in the distance, bushes and trees nearby, and occasionally the roar of wild animals broke the silence. He took a deep breath, gripped the weapon in his hand, and set out on the journey to save the unconscious students.

Feng Feng stepped into the Novice Village. The sunlight shone dappled on the stone road. The NPCs in the village were busy and harmonious.

He accepted his first mission and went to the forest outside the village to kill the wild beasts that harassed the villagers. As he entered the forest, the sound of birdsong and the rustling of leaves intertwined into a natural symphony.

Feng Feng, holding a long sword, carefully walked through the forest path and soon encountered a group of low-level wolf monsters.

The sword flashed like lightning, and every swing was accompanied by the wolf demon’s wailing and falling down, and the blood dyed the grass red, but Feng Feng’s heart was not disturbed at all.

The mission was successfully completed, and he returned to the village to report. The NPCs smiled with gratitude, and the rewarded gold coins shone with an alluring light in the sun.

However, amid all this calm, Feng Feng did not notice any clues about soul devouring, and the doubts in his heart lingered like a fog.

Feng Feng stood at the entrance of the village, looking at the novice village gradually becoming quiet under the setting sun, his heart filled with confusion and anxiety.

He has completed more than a dozen quests, fought his way from the Novice Village to more distant maps, and killed countless monsters, but he has never been able to touch the secret of devouring souls.

He sighed softly and decided to quit the game first and find Sakura Matou to discuss countermeasures.

The moment he took off his helmet, the scene around him began to blur. Feng Feng felt his body lighten. When he opened his eyes again, he was back in the corridor next to the infirmary.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window onto him, casting a long shadow.

He took off his helmet, his furrowed brows never relaxed, everything in the game echoed in his mind, and he secretly vowed in his heart that he would uncover the secrets of this alien world and save those lost souls.

“Tomorrow, we’re going to play the game in some unconventional ways.”

Chapter 977 This World is Full of Loopholes

Wednesday, March 2

In the game world of Shangri-La’s exploration of a different land, Feng Feng started a series of tasks in a simulation business game.

The morning light in the strange land of Shangri-La is still a bit cool.

Feng Feng stepped into this fantasy world woven by data. Before his eyes was an abandoned amusement facility forgotten by time. The paint on the carousel was peeling off and rust covered the brackets, like scars of time.
