Indie Games 30330

A few seconds later, a cluster of fireworks burst into the sky from a distance.At the moment of blooming, it seems that thousands of switches are turned on at the same time, and the deafening music rushes into the eardrums.The world in front of him was lit up, and a brilliant spot of light was reflected in Cheng Mo's pupils.

It was a bustling playground, with dolls in animal headgear weaving through the crowds, and grimacing clowns bouncing around and distributing colorful balloons.A group of floats came from a distance, and a snow-white girl in a gorgeous princess dress sat on the top of the float and waved to the crowd.

"This...wrong door?" Xu Qing murmured in disbelief.They encountered too many weird scenes along the way, and they suddenly encountered a place so similar to the real world, but they were not used to it.

"Welcome to Norvid!" A girl in a uniform with rabbit ears and a crimson badge on her chest appeared in front of them.She seemed to be of mixed race, with deep eye sockets and a high nose bridge, and her curly hair and blue eyes made her look like a beautiful doll in a shop window.

The girl introduced herself with a warm smile: "Hello! I am your guide for this trip to Noved. My name is Agnes. You can also call me Iger. Today I will take you to visit Noveded. , I hope everyone can spend this day happily.”

Iger led the party through the high gates of Novid.While gesturing for Cheng Mo and his group to follow her closely to prevent being scattered by the crowd, she introduced:

"Novid is the name of this playground, and also the name of this small town. This playground has existed for a long time, and the appearance of the playground has driven the tourism industry in this area, and then the city is in between the playground. It was built on the city, and it also took the same name as the playground. It can be said that there was a playground first, and this city came later.”

"What you see now is not just an amusement park. Residential areas and shops are actually hidden between the roads of these large-scale projects." She pointed to the shops on both sides of the jumping machine road not far away, and several children played and walked through the shops , ran into a few low two-story buildings next to the back door, "We rely on Novid for survival, and some people set up shops here to sell tourists some Novid souvenirs, or snacks, or even meals. Others, like me, work in this playground, playing clowns, princesses, or whatever."

"Novid is the heart, and we are like blood vessels and organs that depend on this heart to live. This playground feeds us." Iger narrated sternly, suddenly seemed to see something, suddenly opened his eyes wide, and put Xu Qing, who was being staggered by the crowd, was pulled back, "Be careful!"

A young man carrying a burning fire barrel hurried past them, and a group of other youths carrying the same fire barrel chased after him yelling.The oil drum was burning behind the young man. While running, the young man still whistled to provoke the pursuers behind him, and the crowd applauded and applauded.If Aigla hadn't been in time, the young man would have bumped into Xu Qing.

"Tar barrels, today happens to be the night of the bonfire." Iger shrugged and explained, "They want to carry these burning objects to the open space in the suburbs."

She is already very familiar with the environment here, and she is proficient in moving through groups of people like a nimble rabbit. Cheng Mo has not been in such a noisy environment with people coming and going for a long time. It was very hard to follow for a while.He looked at these people who were busy running around in the lively night, and asked without words:

"As you said before, if there is a playground first and then a city, who built this playground?"

"No one." Iger raised his eyebrows, as if he heard some funny question.Seeing Cheng Mo's puzzled face, he explained with a smile, "Novid was built by God."

"We are all God's people, and we rely on God's help to live here."

"God's help?" Cheng Mo somehow felt that this sentence was a bit familiar, but he couldn't tell where he had heard it before. When he was about to ask again, he saw Iger stopped in front of him.

"Did you see the doll at the exit? There will be a similar doll at the exit of every large-scale project. After successfully experiencing this project, this doll will give everyone a badge for the corresponding project." Iger pointed not far away There is a Stitch who is distributing badges to children, "Some projects limit at least two people, so please allocate your personnel reasonably."

"The giant pendulum in the central square will tell the time every hour, as long as the bell strikes twelve times - that is, before twelve midnight, collect twelve badges and wait for me at the exit of the amusement park, I will open the door to the next place for you."

"This is the map of the playground, don't go to the wrong place." Iger finished distributing the map and looked at the crowd with a smile. He clearly had a warm smile, but there was a hint of a predator smelling the prey in his sapphire-like pupils. As dim light, "Are the rules clear?"

The group nodded.

"Okay, then we'll meet at the exit." Seeing that no one raised any doubts, the girl smiled, bowed to them, turned around and disappeared into the crowd, "Good luck."

"Let me see... According to the instructions on this map, the difficulty of the two-person event seems to be a little higher." Xu Qing studied the map before saying.

"But two-person events can directly get two badges at a time. We don't know how long a project will take, so we need to improve efficiency as much as possible, and we also have to consider the situation of not getting badges if the project fails." Qin Chuhe is very excited Simply, "We have six people left, and we need a total of twelve badges. It is recommended to average the number of people. Considering the possibility that some people may fail in the mission, after completing two projects, no matter whether they fail or not, please use them as quickly as possible. Rush to the central plaza to assemble, so that the remaining people have time to formulate follow-up remedial measures."

"According to the project configuration shown on the map, the efficiency of two two-person teams plus two one-person teams is theoretically the highest." Xu Qing simply calculated, looked up at Cheng Mo, Liu Hui and Guoguo, and suggested He said, "Why don't we just group according to the cabins, you guys should keep the previous grouping unchanged, Miss Zou and I are in a solo group."

The rest of the people had no objection to this, and the matter of grouping was settled in this way.To be fair, several people decided on the project by lottery, and then rushed to their respective areas with the map.

Cheng Mo took the map and walked with Qin Chuhe to their first project area - the memory Trojan horse.There are a lot of tourists shuttled by his side, their happy expressions don't seem to be fake, but they feel empty for no reason.

"This amusement park always makes me feel that something is not right." Cheng Mo stared at it for a while before discovering the reason for his discomfort—the happiness on the faces of these tourists was real, but their eyes were empty, like a bunch of soulless animals. An empty shell that makes a lifelike expression.

"Because of these NPCs?" Qin Chuhe asked.

"Not all." Cheng Mo shook his head, "This place always gives me a very familiar feeling, the names of Novid, Iger, the bonfire party, and the phrase 'God's aid', I always feel like I met them somewhere have, or have heard."

"Don't worry, the memory is always your own. Sometimes you can't remember it because of a lack of an opportunity." Qin Chuhe seemed to want to pat Cheng Mo's shoulder, but he stopped like an electric shock when he was about to touch it. Then he quickly retracted his hand.

"En?" Cheng Mo didn't notice Qin Chuhe's small movements, only felt that the young boy next to him seemed to have moved a little bit.He didn't have time to ask Qin Chuhe what he wanted to do just now—two Bunny bunnies, one pink and one white, appeared bouncing in front of them, and surrounded them to the entrance of the carousel.

"The Trojan Horse of Memory! Let you see the most important memories in your heart!" Like singing, Bonnie Rabbit held hands and sent Cheng Mo and Qin Chuhe to the Trojan Horse.Qin Chuhe sat next to Cheng Mo, and for the first time, Cheng Mo felt Qin Chuhe's thin but powerful chest.

"The customs clearance trick is only four words——"

Bonnie Rabbit's soft paws expanded into horns, and the sound was drawn out in the background sound of the slow merry-go-round.

"Don't-do-cry-oh-"

<<

The merry-go-round rotates from slow to fast with the music played, and the flow of people around, lights, and clowns twisting balloons into small animals are all retreating rapidly in the increasingly blurred light and shadow.

Gradually, these scenes disappeared from Cheng Mo's sight.The noisy background sound mixed with piano music and human voice moved away from him, and the world seemed to be slowly turned into silence by a big hand.The world outside the carousel turned into a rolling white circle of light, like a revolving lantern, showing Cheng Mo's most important memories.

It was long paragraphs, blank spaces with noise.

<<

Don't I have... the most important memory?

Cheng Mo stared blankly at the blank clip that was flying past in front of him.With some difficulty, he recalled the people who played an important role in his passing time - those former classmates, close friends, mentors, and even parents who lived abroad all the year round, their faces were blurred like fog at this moment.

He was fascinated to recall those very important moments in his life - the rare time to reunite with his parents, the first time he got the first grade, the college entrance examination, and the notification letter from the school he wanted... At that time The joy now seems so out of reach.

……

"It's time! Congratulations on successfully passing this project!" The sound of a rabbit blasting in his ears brought Cheng Mo back to reality, and he realized that the carousel had stopped at some point.

Qin Chuhe had already got off the wooden horse and received a badge at the exit.When Cheng Mo climbed off the wooden horse and walked towards the tall and thin figure not far away, he couldn't help thinking—who would be in the memories Qin Chuhe saw?

Are there his parents?teacher?classmate?Former best friend?Or a lover?

Is there anyone who likes someone like him who is as cold as ice?

What kind of memory would that be?Happy, angry, lost, or in pain?

The rabbit said not to cry, this should be the easiest task for him, right?Such a cold person, no matter what, he can't imagine him crying.

Cheng Mo walked towards him, just as Qin Chuhe turned around at this moment.In the background of crowds of people and orange lights flowing like a long river, Cheng Mo saw Qin Chuhe beckoning and gave him a vague smile.

Cheng Mo stopped.

In his increasingly clear sight, he saw a tear drop from Qin Chuhe's eye socket to the corner of his tense mouth.
