Chapter 223 The Bronze Elephant That Pulls Backwards
Li Shuwen walked up to the stall, looked at the menu hanging on the wall, and said with a look of surprise, "Boss, give me a special big bowl of wide noodles."
The boss smiled slightly, "No problem, just wait a moment."
The owner is a handsome guy with a buzz cut, and his skills in making fried noodles are superb.
"Please have this, a large bowl of wide noodles."
Li Shuwen took a bite and immediately gave a thumbs up.
"tasty."
The boss smiled smugly, "This is my exclusive recipe."
"My name is Chris. You're welcome to come to Random Town anytime for a big bowl of wide noodles."
After finishing their fried noodles, Li Shuwen and Shirona bought tickets to enter the haunted house.
The ticket seller at the entrance was dressed as a witch.
"Little girl, don't be frightened. Young man, you must protect the girls around you."
Li Shuwen nodded firmly, "I will cherish her more than I cherish my own life."
The witch chuckled, "It seems you've met a nice boy, little girl."
"Go in."
The haunted house is made up of several tents, and there is almost no light inside.
They could only see their feet and surroundings through the occasional streak of green light passing through the air.
Cynthia grabbed Li Shuwen's arm, seemingly very frightened.
Cynthia was definitely faking it!
She's seen it all, how could she possibly be afraid of this tiny haunted house?
But Bai Cai is just a researcher, so it's normal for him to be afraid.
Girls should act a little weak so that boys will feel protective of them.
When the first mechanism appeared, Cynthia immediately clung tightly to Li Shuwen's arm in fear.
Li Shuwen coughed twice. Was Cynthia overacting?
It's just a small mechanism, is it really that scary?
They continued walking forward when they suddenly heard a scream from behind.
It was this scream that truly startled Li Shuwen and Cynthia.
Then they heard a sweet voice behind them, "Baby, I'm scared, can you protect me?"
A slightly silly laugh rang out, "Baby, don't be afraid, I'll protect you."
"Mmm... With you here, I feel the safest I can ever be!"
Li Shuwen got goosebumps from listening to this; the couple behind them completely ruined the atmosphere that Cynthia had worked so hard to create.
"Cabbage, let's quicken our pace."
Cynthia really wanted to go back and slap that pretentious guy.
But she still smiled slightly and said, "Okay."
Li Shuwen reached out and intertwined his fingers with Cynthia's. "I'll hold your hand as we go out. Don't worry, I absolutely won't let go."
After navigating several not-so-terrifying traps, the two finally saw the light of day again.
As expected, the haunted house wasn't equipped with any traps or mechanisms designed to scare people.
It's purely a dating spot for young couples to get closer.
If it weren't for the guys messing things up behind us, this experience would have been great.
Li Shuwen looked around and pointed to an iced drink shop.
"We've been walking for quite a while, let's go sit down at an iced drink shop."
They found an empty table and sat down. Li Shuwen ordered a super-sized bowl of watermelon shaved ice, while Shirona ordered a medium-sized bowl of strawberry shaved ice.
Li Shuwen was somewhat surprised to see the enormous portion of watermelon ice served in a bowl with a diameter of 30 centimeters.
This boss is so honest.
While enjoying an iced drink, the Great Bronze Elephant and its carriage carrying guests passed by.
At a table by the roadside, a tourist ordered a super-sized mango shaved ice.
The bronze elephant stretched out its trunk, gently inhaled, and sucked the entire bowl of mango shaved ice into its nose before eating it.
The tourists didn't blame the Great King Bronze Elephant; they just laughed and said, "Boss, I didn't expect that the Pokémon from the Galar region would like your shaved ice so much."
The boss laughed heartily, "Really? Then consider that the previous serving as my treat for this Pokémon. I'll make another one for the customer."
Cynthia frowned slightly. "Shuwen, why does this bronze elephant seem like it hasn't eaten enough? It's looking for something to eat everywhere."
A somewhat mischievous bronze elephant, carrying guests, wanted to leave the group.
The man in the turban lashed out with his whip, and the bronze elephant immediately followed the group obediently in fright.
Li Shuwen also frowned, "I do feel there's something wrong."
"Let's go find Officer Jenny and report the problem with this stall."
Cynthia nodded in agreement. "I can't finish my smoothie, you can have it."
Li Shuwen didn't stand on ceremony and quickly finished the strawberry smoothie.
For such a large-scale event as the fireworks display, Ms. Officer Jenny also led a team to maintain order on-site.
Finding Miss Officer Jenny is not difficult.
After listening to Li Shuwen's account, Miss Officer Jenny nodded. "The three-meter-tall, incredibly strong bronze elephant king wasn't getting enough to eat, and the caretakers even used whips to oppress them."
"There is indeed a safety hazard. I will send officers over and instruct them to feed the bronze elephants and the King's bronze elephant before picking up passengers again."
The matter was left to Miss Officer Jenny to handle, and the two of them continued strolling around the bonfire party from another direction.
"We have hamburgers, would you like some cabbage too?"
Cynthia shook her head. "You eat it."
Cynthia glanced at the sky; the sun was already beginning to set.
Once the moon rises, the bonfire party will officially begin.
Li Shuwen ordered two Big Macs, one in each hand, and took a bite, feeling completely satisfied.
A surge of people quickly came over, separating Li Shuwen and Shirona.
Li Shuwen was looking for Cynthia.
Suddenly, a scream rang out from ahead, "Run! The elephant is startled!"
Accompanied by the bellowing of elephants, the Great Bronze Elephant strode towards them.
Inside the palanquin on his back, two terrified children were embracing each other.
Li Shuwen gritted his teeth and rushed against the flow of people.
He leaped onto the palanquin on the back of the bronze elephant, picked up the two children, and jumped to an open space by the roadside.
"Don't be afraid, it's alright now. Just stay here and don't move around."
Li Shuwen went back and grabbed the tail of the bronze elephant.
The bronze elephant was kept in place.
"Don't move, I don't want to hurt you."
Li Shuwen released his waveguide power, trying to calm the Great Bronze Elephant.
As expected, the bronze elephant was still hungry and had stolen food from the tourists again.
This time, the tourists weren't so forgiving; they wouldn't make the headscarf-wearing man pay compensation.
The man in the headscarf chose to whip the bronze statue of the King of Kings to let the tourists vent their anger.
Could the proud bronze elephant of the king endure such humiliation?
He immediately used his nose to roll up the man's headscarf and threw him away.
Then he went on a rampage at the venue!
Actually, the bronze elephant was just walking and shouting, but it didn't hurt anyone.
Li Shuwen's attempts to appease the statue were unsuccessful; the bronze elephant was still struggling.
As expected of an elephant, it is incredibly strong; he almost couldn't hold on to it!
Li Shuwen, quick-witted, immediately said, "Don't move, I can make sure you're full!"
Upon hearing that it could eat its fill, the bronze elephant obediently stopped.
Miss Officer Jenny quickly arrived with her entourage, and Li Shuwen said, "Miss Officer Jenny, please prepare food for the Great Bronze Elephant."
They were not fed enough, yet they still had to work, and were even whipped in public.
The bronze elephant king only went berserk; its temper was already very good.
Officer Jenny said with a dark expression, "I'll go prepare right now."
Li Shuwen wiped his sweat and went to the shop next door to order a cup of sweet soup.
It took Li Shuwen too much energy to subdue the Great Bronze Elephant.
Li Shuwen released the remaining Aura power to search for Cynthia's location.
But not found.
Hmm, where's my Cynthia?
What's going on?
