Chapter 38 Traps of Madman

Long Xi started analyzing to herself, "Assuming that the Sphinx on the right is telling the truth, the Sphinx on the left is the lying Sphinx and the lying Sphinx is guarding the door of death. But this is not consistent with the answer given by the Sphinx on the right. Therefore, this assumption is not correct! That means that the Sphinx on the right is lying and at the same time, guarding the door of life."

The Sphinx on the right said, "Very well, I like you more and more!"

With a "DuDuDu" sound, the base of the stone door on the right side sank slowly until the top of the stone door was level with the ground.

There were seven colorful neon lights shining brightly outside the doorways.

Long Xi ran out excitedly. Unfortunately, she had a right start, but did not think about the end.

She plopped into a pool of stinky liquid.

When she was a child, she had been saved by a friend, Yan Wangchuan, who was a good swimmer, from drowning. She was not injured, but it left a large psychological impact on her and she was afraid of water and thus did not learn how to swim.

Her survival instinct kicked in and she tried paddling with her hands and feet. She swallowed a few mouthfuls of stinky water and then found that the water was not very deep, just up to her chest.

The two Sphinxes burst into laughter.

The young man's voice said, "I knew she was smart and that's the proof!"

The mature male voice said, "It's a good horse that never stumbles. Don't ask for too much! Her IQ is high enough; there are others who are not even able to get out of the door."

Long Xi managed to find her balance and found herself in a small artificial pool.

Long Xi had been so excited that she rushed out without first checking the outside environment. It seemed that the creator was also aware of her thoughts and had deliberately set a trap here.

The pool was just in front of the two doors. No matter which door she exited from, she would have fallen into the trap.

She vomited twice. The water was stinky, yellow and very murky. Is this urine? How disgusting!

The mature male voice rang out, "Little daughter-in-law, is your father-in-law and husband's urine tasty? We saved it for you for a few days. Well, this betrothal present is very ingenious, right?"

"You two are crazy!" Long Xi scolded them.

"Oh, my wife's temper is so bad that I'm afraid!" the sound of a young man's voice floated in the air.

It sounded like it was coming from the merry-go-round in the northeast.

Long Xi had discovered that this was the paradise she had visited during the day: Cheng Gong Butterfly Paradise.

The huge LED lights signboard, the bronze statue of father and son in the entrance, the 70-meter-high roller coaster, the Ferris Wheel, the jumper, the merry-go-round, the puppet theatre... Weren't these the places she had so much fun in during the day?

A large group of brown butterflies that had eye markings on their wings gathered near the pool and seemed to be particularly drawn to the stinky odor.

It is said that butterflies are insects with a well-developed sense of smell that are particularly sensitive to odors.

Long Xi climbed out of the pool with great difficulty and her skirt was wet and smelly.

More than a dozen eye-shaped butterflies immediately flew to her dress, probably attracted by the odor on it.

She liked butterflies, so she did not chase them away.

When the late autumn evening wind blew, she couldn't help shivering and clasped her knees with her arms.

There were decorations and shining colorful lights all around, like a doomsday carnival!

Suddenly an inspiration crossed her mind, like a flash of lightning across the night sky.

"Are you -- Cheng Gong and Cheng Yilun?" Long Xi asked.

She had heard from her grandmother that the biggest investor in Cheng Gong Butterfly Paradise was Cheng Yilun's father Cheng Gong, the richest man in B City and the second richest man on the Z Country's rich list.

"Wow, I really want to applaud you. Your IQ is really something!" The mature male voice said in an exaggerated tone.

"Daddy, now that she has guessed who we are, we are left with two choices. One is to kill her and the other, for me to suffer after I marry her, but I will teach her a lesson first. Little pretty, which do you choose?" The young man asked in a very frivolous tone.

Long Xi said angrily, "Go and teach your own sister! I choose three. After I save my grandmother and friends, we'll leave together. Let's stop wasting time and get to the point. What on earth do you want me to do?"

Long Xi went to the merry-go-round and found a person dressed as a clown in one of the carriages.

Judging by the figure, this person who was in a clown dress and had thick clown makeup on her face should be a woman.

Tears were pouring down her face. She could only turn her eyes and her chest was heaving slightly, but the rest of her body seemed to be paralyzed, unable to move at all.

There were shackles around her neck, which was chained to the carriage.

Long Xi went over and scrutinized the woman's face. She could not help gasping in shock.

It turned out to be - it was - Wei Wei!

"Wei Wei! Why are you here?" Long Xi asked in a trembling voice.

Wei Wei's lips moved slightly. She whimpered deep in her throat, but she could not speak.

Long Xi guessed that she had been drugged and was not in a conscious state of mind.

The young man said, "Long Xi, if you really want to save her, just sit next to her. Honey, do you see the orange line on the ground? Oh no, there are two endpoints in this line. It should be called a segment. Forgive me, I'm a poor student!"

Long Xi immediately sat next to Wei Wei.

The mature male voice said, "Son, can you stop being so disgusting? My future daughter-in-law, after a few moments, your father-in-law will let the merry-go-round spin ten times and you can't vomit during the spins. If you vomit, it means you fail. After the ride, you have to go to the segment and within a minute, walk along the segment. Make sure each step is on the line, then you will be the victor."

Long Xi nodded to show that she understood.

She noticed that there was a camera facing them from the top of the carriage. She figured that Cheng Gong and his son were watching them through the monitor right now.

The young man immediately said, "You understand? Here we go!"

Sure enough, she was right. Although she did not answer, they could see her nodding through the camera.

The merry-go-round started. The first lap was slightly faster than the normal speed, but Long Xi knew it would not be so simple!

From the second lap, the speed became extremely fast!

Long Xi felt dizzy, even with her eyes closed. Her stomach churned and the sour vomit rushed up to her throat but was swallowed back desperately.
