At that moment, Hu Fang took advantage of my turned back and reached for the book titled "Divine Anomalies Classic" on the Tea Table. Just as her fingers were about to touch the book, Li Zhisheng's voice suddenly came from behind, startling her and causing her to retract her hand.
"Everyone's up, huh? Where's Yao Long?" Li Zhisheng asked. I replied, "I got up and saw he wasn't sleeping, so I let him sleep in my room. He's really a loyal guy..."
"Yeah, if my boss passed away, I probably couldn't do what he did," Li Zhisheng agreed.
Hearing this, I sighed deeply. "Sigh... But no matter what, the Death Apostle has helped us before. Even if we can't do as much as Yao Long, we should at least do something for the Death Apostle. I'll go choose a good burial site for him later..."
"That's only right, but..." Li Zhisheng said, noticing the "Divine Anomalies Classic" on the table. He shifted the topic and continued, "Why do they have to put the Death Apostle to death? If it's just for this book, it doesn't make sense; after all, the Death Apostle's version is a fake. Doesn't Yang Master investigate thoroughly before acting?"
I understood that Li Zhisheng was deliberately speaking for Hu Fang's benefit, aiming to make her believe even more that this book was genuine.
"Sigh, it's really unfair for the Death Apostle to lose his life over a fake," I said, turning to Li Zhisheng and giving him a knowing look. "Since you're all up now, I'll go make something to eat. We still have to deal with the Death Apostle's funeral afterward. You should go wash up."
Upon hearing this, Li Zhisheng nodded in agreement and headed toward the bathroom while I walked alone toward the kitchen.
As I reached the stove and picked up a pan to prepare some oil for frying eggs, I heard Hu Fang shout from the living room, "I'm going out to buy something. I'll be back soon."
Hastily leaving the kitchen, I noticed that the "Divine Anomalies Classic" was already missing from the Tea Table, and Hu Fang was crossing her arms warily as she walked toward the front door.
"It seems that Li Zhisheng was right; this fake Hu Fang has indeed fallen into a trap," I thought to myself. "Hu Fang, where did that 'Divine Anomalies Classic' go?"
Upon hearing me mention the book, Hu Fang's expression changed drastically as if she panicked. She suddenly quickened her pace and rushed out without looking back. "Hey! Hu Fang! Stop! What are you trying to do?" I shouted but didn't immediately chase after her. Instead, I walked to the bathroom and pushed open the slightly ajar door. "Just as you said, Hu Fang has fallen into a trap; we can follow her now."
As soon as I finished, I saw Li Zhisheng brushing his teeth with a mouth full of foam. He mumbled, "Wait... I'll be done soon!"
"What are you waiting for? I just need you to pretend for a moment; who told you to actually wash up? Let's go, or we'll lose her!" I said, grabbing a towel and wiping his face haphazardly before tossing his toiletries into the sink. Then, we rushed down the stairs.
Once we burst out of the area, we spotted Hu Fang, who had slowed down since we hadn’t caught up. She was walking quickly across the street. "Over there!" I pointed at Hu Fang on the opposite side of the road and told Li Zhisheng.
"Don't follow too closely, or we'll get noticed. She doesn't seem to plan on using any transportation, so let's just keep our distance and follow her," I advised. With that, Li Zhisheng and I trailed behind Hu Fang.
However, Hu Fang didn’t take the main road; she quickly turned into an alley. "Looks like this fake Hu Fang isn’t too bright, but she’s still cautious..." I noted as Li Zhisheng and I followed her into the alley.
We trailed Hu Fang for nearly half an hour until she finally stopped in front of an amusement park. "Isn't this...?" I exclaimed in surprise at where Hu Fang had led us.
Li Zhisheng asked, "What? Did you come here before?" I nodded and replied, "This amusement park seems to be run by Yang Master’s people; it might even belong to the Sun Warrior Organization."
Upon hearing my mention of Yang Master, Li Zhisheng gasped in astonishment. "No wonder Death Apostle seemed so powerful; it turns out this so-called Sun Warrior Organization has such influence that they even own a large amusement park."
I ignored Li Zhisheng's exclamation and focused on Hu Fang, who was speaking with a staff member at the entrance. Whatever she said made the staff member bow deeply to her before opening a side door to let her in.
Since it was still early, the amusement park hadn’t opened yet. Aside from me and Li Zhisheng hiding in an alley peeking out, there was no one else around.
"Oh no, she went inside! What do we do now?" I asked anxiously.
To my surprise, Li Zhisheng replied casually, "What do you mean what do we do? We buy tickets and go in."
I thought to myself, "You have no idea that almost all the staff recognized me when I came out of the amusement park last time. If I go back in now, it would be like walking into a trap." So I said to Li Zhisheng, "The staff inside have seen me already; it’ll be hard for me to get in through the front. You can try buying a ticket; maybe you’ll get in while I think of another way."
Li Zhisheng nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go buy a ticket first and see if I can get in. If not, we'll think of another way." With that, Li Zhisheng walked out of the alley and headed towards the amusement park's main entrance.
However, before he could reach the ticket booth, he was stopped by a staff member. It seemed that Li Zhisheng was continuously explaining something to the staff member, but the staff only waved him off repeatedly, indicating that it wasn't going to work.
After a long negotiation, Li Zhisheng returned looking dejected. "No go. The staff said we have to wait until the park opens. It's not even six o'clock yet; they want me to come back after eight-thirty."
"Wait until eight-thirty? What kind of nonsense is that..." I thought to myself. Remembering my earlier encounter with Fan Wu, I recalled that the area was an unfinished construction site at the time, and there didn't seem to be any walls around it—just an iron gate separating the construction site from the Amusement Park. Perhaps we could enter through there.
With this thought in mind, I immediately shared my idea with Li Zhisheng. After listening, he replied, "If what you say is true, then this plan might work. But you walked through the amusement park from the inside back then; now we're outside. Can you still find that place?"
I pondered for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be a problem because I've seen the terrain map of the Amusement Park. It was on a promotional flyer I looked at before. Although I don't have the flyer with me now, I have this..." I pointed to my head with confidence.
