Chapter 1166 An Amusement Park Witho...
Crystal's POV:
Rufus' explanation made sense, as the enemies were lurking in the shadows and they still held plenty of hostages, including my son; so a forcible intrusion would only worsen the situation.
For now, we would have to be patient and wait for the freak show to start at three o'clock.
"We can wander around and survey the layout in this one hour, so that we know our escape routes when it is time to run," Rufus said as he pulled me into the bustling amusement park.
Various stalls had been erected on the broad square. I glanced at the clock tower in the distance and realized that the freak show was due to start in less than an hour.
Sounds of laughter and joy rang out all around us, and in no time, Rufus and I had encountered many young couples.
Every now and then, we spotted a few individuals who had come alone, but the amusement attractions nearby were still crowded with people, and the more popular ones had endless lines in front of them.
It seemed that this amusement park was very well-liked by young people.
As we walked along the path, tourists and staff walked by us, all wearing different masks. These masks were of different colors, but they had all been specially created to conceal people's scents.
"Do you want to go on that one?" Rufus pointed to a nearby amusement ride and asked me.
"No." I shook my head, feeling a little listless. The lively atmosphere around me did nothing to lift my spirits, and I just wanted the clock to strike three quickly.
Rufus and I strolled around the amusement park, thoroughly surveying our surroundings.
The ambiance was really very vibrant here, and this place seemed no different from other amusement parks, except for that special performance. Rufus led me to a bench near the carousel, where we rested our feet.
I curiously observed the passersby and asked Rufus, "Why aren't there any kids here? Don't the adults bring their kids to play?"
Although several people milled around, we had not spotted a single kid during our wanderings.
"No, kids are not allowed in here. They have promoted this park as being designed for adults to forget their pressures and relive their childhood," Rufus replied softly.
I showed an understanding expression, and then lowered my head and massaged my slightly sore legs.
When I raised my head again, I saw Rufus walking away. I thought
something had happened, so
panicked and went to chase after
him, but stumbled instead. Content

I winced in pain and heard Rufus sigh helplessly somewhere over my head. He returned.
Pressing down on my shoulders, he
made me sit back on the bench.
Then he examined my ankle and confirmed there was no serious issue before standing up again.
"Wait for me here for a little while. I'll be right back," he said.
I nodded and obediently sat on the bench.
Rufus chuckled and patted my head like I was his
puppy before walking away with long strides.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
I lowered my head again and fell into deep thought, my mind only occupied with Arron.
After a few minutes, I suddenly felt something cool touch my cheek. I turned my head, only to see Rufus holding an ice cream.
I blinked in confusion.
He smiled and handed the ice cream to me. "This is for you."
I accepted it in a daze. "Why did you buy this?"
As I said this, I couldn't stop the wave of anger that surged through me. I shot him a furious glare and shoved the ice cream back into his hand. "Eat it yourself. I'm in no mood for it right now.
We haven't found Arron yet!"
With a helpless shrug, Rufus said, "We came here to have fun, so of course, we should eat."
Before I could respond, he abruptly wrapped his hand around my shoulder, pulling me closer to him, and whispered, "Look around. They're watching us."
