Chapter 431: Nine People
Everyone hesitantly emerged from their hiding places, staring at the sun outside, revealing expressions of relief as if they had survived a catastrophe.
However, this relief couldn’t last too long.
Because they only had 6 hours.
In 6 hours, Mary and the cat would awaken again, and they must come up with a self-rescue plan during the day.
Everyone gathered again under the carousel.
Shen Mo, Bai Youwei, Shen Fei, Yan Qingwen, Lu Ang, Yu Yaqing, Robin, Jiang Hao, Tan Xiao.
Nine people in total.
Everyone had varying degrees of fatigue in their eyes.
Yan Qingwen looked around and said, “Let’s discuss everyone’s experiences from last night or any discoveries.”
“The cat is controlled by Mary.” Shen Mo started, “When Mary does not give specific instructions, the puppet cat seems to lack an attack consciousness, so our next attack should still be targeted at Mary, we must separate Mary from the cat.”
Yu Yaqing nodded, “If the puppet cat is controlled by Mary, it makes sense. No wonder no matter how we attack it, it has no effect.”
“It’s more than just not being effective, we can’t move it at all.” Lu Ang said worriedly, “It’s too big, and the cotton inside is hard, like some sort of steel frame. With the weapons we have, it’s like using matchsticks…”
“Matches…” Yan Qingwen pondered, “We could consider using fire, the outer cotton cloth and cotton of the puppet cat are all flammable, and once it catches fire, Mary will leave the cat. Fantasy Street was on fire last night, we should be able to get a fire source if we go there now.”
“What if it jumps into the lake?” Tan Xiao couldn’t help asking, “There’s a large lake at Treasure Bay, and a big fountain at the entrance of the amusement park, there’s plenty of water in these places.”
Shen Fei explained to him, “The purpose of using fire is not to burn the cat, but to force Mary to leave the cat, so that everyone can focus their efforts on Mary.”
Shen Mo asked Tan Xiao, “Where did you and Jiang Hao hide last night? Why didn’t we see you guys?”
Tan Xiao was stunned, and answered with wide eyes, “I was at Treasure Bay, in a trash can by the road. I’m puzzled, nothing happened all night long, I almost fell asleep.”
Everyone was speechless after hearing this.
Treasure Bay is on the other side of the lake, mirroring Adventure Island, it’s far from the other parks, so it’s no wonder that Tan Xiao had no idea about what happened last night.
Robin asked the always silent Jiang Hao, “What about you? Where did you hide?”
Jiang Hao looked up at everyone, explaining with a smile, “I hid under the ferris wheel, in the control room, you know that small house with a red roof.”
Several people listened, their expressions somewhat odd.
Last night when they were attacking Mary and the cat, they had passed by there, but Jiang Hao didn’t appear.
Either, Jiang Hao was lying;
Or, Jiang Hao actually saw them but chose not to help.
Thinking about their desperate fight, and the indifferent observer in the dark, even knowing that the observer wasn’t close to them, there was still a sense of discomfort.
Yan Qingwen didn’t dwell on this, she simply said in a light voice:
“The trash cans at Treasure Bay, the control room of the ferris wheel, neither of these places had any toys, the fact that they safely stayed there all night reaffirms this, so what we need to do next, is destroy all the toys we can see! Especially their eyes, if we can’t destroy them, we still need to find a way to cover them all”
“But…” Yu Yaqing looked up at the carousel, hesitatingly asked, “What about during the day?”
