"Welcome to the Lost Amusement Park."
Amid the cheerful announcement, Wen Rui stepped out of the shadows and blended into the crowd.
Unlike the other participants, who were thrilled and excited, he wore an expressionless face. He could not muster any interest in the killing mission he had repeated dozens of times.
But a participant named Chi Che shattered the killer's composure.
From the bone-strewn haunted house to the surging crimson rapids; from the pirate ship weaving through viscous gel to the roller coaster with no end, time and again, when danger struck, Chi Che would put himself in harm's way to shield Wen Rui, even if he got hurt himself.
No one had ever been so kind to him.
Such tenderness could move even a weapon without a heart. He even began to think of risking his life to defy his orders and help Chi Che escape the death that had been decreed for him.
Wen Rui thought: Better to give him a chance to live than let myself be controlled and wreak havoc on the world.
A year later, Chi Che, a rising star in the military, received a mission to plant a secret weapon deep in enemy territory and weaken their forces.
Standing before a bottomless pit, Chi Che watched coldly as the metal sphere slowly descended, eventually vanishing into the darkness.
"Those who kill will meet their just deserts," he said coolly. "Fill it in."
Inside the metal sphere, Wen Rui's hands and feet were bound. Tubes were inserted into his pale skin, constantly drawing his blood.
Eyes closed, his lashes trembling, he was buried by the very person he had once been willing to give his life to save, amid the muffled rustling of sand.
