"Great, as long as we call the police, we'll find her family soon." Seeing the night patrolman appear, the fat man immediately felt relieved. However, Chen Mo and Li Yan exchanged a glance but didn't respond.
Neither of them could forget that this was a world of horror stories. Every bit of warmth and beauty was nothing more than a mirage, or a sweet appetizer before a feast of terror.
The appearance of this night patrolman didn't bring Chen Mo or Li Yan any sense of relief. If you looked closely, you could see deep worry and a hint of hidden fear on both their faces.
In the illusion presented by the story, the night patrolman was still saying something to the little girl. Finally, she nodded obediently and let him take her small hand.
"Can you take me to find my mom?"
"My mom loves me a lot. She wouldn't abandon me."
The little girl repeated timidly, as if believing it herself would make her mom come back.
"Dammit!"
Watching this scene, Chen Mo's face grew darker and darker.
"That night patrolman won't take her to find her mom."
"What?" The fat man looked at him, then at the scene, confused.
"To help this little girl find her family, wouldn't a simple call to the police do? Or at least contact the park authorities immediately? Why take her away?"
The fat man's face changed instantly, and he blurted out, "Could it be that he..."
"Don't forget, we're in a world of horror stories. But the more horror stories you experience, the more you realize that human hearts can be even more terrifying than ghosts."
As he said this, Li Yan's pupils glinted with a cold light in the darkness.
This little girl, who repeatedly appeared in the hints, was undoubtedly the source of this supernatural mission—the curse of the entire amusement park. Even if she seemed innocent and harmless now, she would eventually become the most terrifying presence in the park.
Her resentment was the source of all the supernatural forces within the amusement park.
The deeper the resentment, the stronger the supernatural power. What kind of experience could make a little girl's resentment strong enough to drag an entire theme park into hell?
In the scene, a familiar building appeared before the three of them—the same management room they had searched earlier.
The little girl stood timidly at the door, looking a bit at a loss.
"Come on, come in and sit down. You must be hungry. Uncle has some food here."
The little girl shook her head and took a timid step back.
The night patrolman looked around. The amusement park was empty at night, so his courage grew. A large hand grabbed the little girl's arm.
The little girl screamed and struggled.
"Let go! Let go!"
"You're a bad guy! I don't want you to take me to find my mom!"
A grim expression appeared on the night patrolman's face. The little girl's resistance seemed to excite him.
"Your mom doesn't want you anymore, so stop pretending!"
"Be good and listen to Uncle. Uncle will buy you candy tomorrow!"
"Mmm... mmm..."
"Be good... listen to Uncle. Tomorrow, tomorrow Uncle will buy you candy..."
"Bastard! Bastard!"
Chen Mo's pupils were bloodshot, his hands trembling with rage, like a volcano about to erupt!
"Ah—!" Just then, a scream came from the man. The little girl broke free and stumbled out.
Her pretty face was filled with terror as she fled in panic. But she hadn't gotten far before a large hand grabbed her curly hair.
"Damn it, you bit me..."
"This unwanted little bitch dared to bite me..."
The staggering night patrolman caught up in a few quick steps, grabbing the girl's arm, but met unexpected resistance. The girl's small body erupted with astonishing energy at that moment, like a trapped beast, clawing and biting, using every ounce of strength to fight back.
Perhaps enraged by the little girl's defiance, the furious man shoved her down and clamped his hands around her throat...
"Dare to resist, dare to resist, I'll kill you..."
His iron-like hands tightened around her neck. The struggle gradually subsided, and her once-beautiful face twisted in unbearable pain.
Only when the body went completely still did the man stagger to his feet, reeking of alcohol, muttering curses at the corpse.
"Damn, you got off easy..."
"I didn't even get to have my fun..."
After cursing for a while, the night patrolman stood up and stumbled toward the tool shed.
In the silent darkness, only the small, ragdoll-like body remained, dark red blood slowly seeping from eyes that refused to close.
What did I do wrong?
Why did Dad not want me, and even Mom abandon me?
Why did I have to suffer such a tragic fate?
No, I'm already dead.
I'm a ghost. Why should a ghost be afraid?
In the darkness, a black aura suddenly began to swirl around. A white shadow gradually materialized in midair. As the shadow appeared, an intensely cold aura spread in all directions.
Brushed by this icy aura, the amusement park's rides, which had long lost power, eerily started operating. The carousel spun wildly, the drop tower went up and down, and the Ferris wheel rotated crazily, flinging cabins into the air.
The entire night amusement park was engulfed by a massive supernatural force!
Just then, Chen Mo felt a burning sensation from his pocket.
The missing person flyer spontaneously combusted. After the flickering flames died down, new text appeared on the yellowed paper.
It looked like a news report from a few years ago.
"The highly publicized amusement park girl disappearance case has finally been solved."
"Night patrolman brutally murders young girl, hides body in amusement park rides."
"Under the carousel's base, the missing girl's right hand and left leg were found. Under the Ferris wheel cabin seats, her left arm and right leg were discovered. In a sealed space within the mirror maze, her head was located. The remaining torso was hidden under the drop tower's control panel."
"Why did the perpetrator hide the victim's body in amusement park rides? Experts confirmed that the suspect had a long history of mental illness, which may be considered during sentencing..."
So that's how it was...
Reconstructing the whole event, this little girl might have once had a happy family. But after her parents divorced, she became a burden, abandoned by both sides and left at the amusement park.
However, the mother didn't seem completely heartless. After abandoning her daughter, perhaps driven by guilt or other reasons, she returned to the amusement park to search but couldn't find her.
Of course, the woman couldn't reveal that she had abandoned her child, so she falsely reported her daughter missing to the police. That was the source of the missing person flyer.
This was the sensational girl disappearance case from the news.
In the end, the case was solved, but the truth was horrifying. Even worse, the little girl might never have known that her mother came back to look for her. In her memory, all that remained was endless fear and despair!
Her intense resentment made her chosen by the story, returning to the world as a vengeful spirit!
"A little girl turning into a ghost—that's always the deadliest..."
