It’s not a game, it’s a real amusement park!
The first release was from the official account of "Mr. Rabbit".
The Oshima Group created a 1:1 real theme park based on the work of the creator who won the first place in the "Dreamland" game vote.
Named Gancheng Brilliant Theme Park by its creators, it is expected to open this winter.
"really?"
This was the first thing Shibata thought of. It was already summer, how could a theme park be built in half a year?
Do you think you are Ultraman?
“But this is official news.”
"It's impossible anyway."
Unless the park has already been built, and this event is just a cover to advertise the amusement park.
It's not impossible, but does it make sense?
"Yi-chan, I don't want clothes anymore. Can you take me to the amusement park in winter?"
Shibata's lips moved slightly, and after a while, he nodded.
In the past, he owed his children too much, and so did he and his wife, who only cared about their own affairs.
Thrush had little enjoyment of childhood.
"That's great. That park is so beautiful. It's even better than Disney."
Because of this park, she and many other people participated in the design. Although other people's works were finally chosen, everyone had a sense of participation.
I really hope winter comes sooner.
As he was talking, his phone dinged. It was the notification sound of a message from Qiuqiu.
"A message from Junko."
"You should call Aunt Junko." Shibata said, picking up his phone, "Are there any photos of Ultraman and Ultra Beast again?"
He was somewhat expectant, but what was sent was not a photo, but a video.
Like Mr. White Rabbit, Qiuqiu updated the video transmission function not long ago.
It was much more convenient for Shibata.
Then, when he clicked on the video, he found that it was not what he thought it was. His expression gradually became serious.
After a moment, he called Junko's cell phone.
"Junko-senpai, regarding the video you just sent me... What, you didn't send it?"
"Okay, I understand. Sorry for bothering you."
After hanging up the phone, Shibata couldn't help but open the ball again.
That was indeed Junko's account. After thinking for a while, he sent a message.
【Who are you? 】
Almost instantly, in less than a second, he received a reply.
【Ten o'clock tonight, at the pavilion by the lake in Yoyogi Park. 】
A time, a place, and no other information. The other party is completely unknown, and it is not even clear whether it is human.
He had absolutely no reason to accept the invitation.
"What's wrong, Ichi-chan?"
"Nothing, I just have work to do. I'm going to go out for a while. Be careful at home alone and don't touch any electrical appliances."
"Okay—" Thrush deliberately dragged out her voice.
Although she was somewhat dissatisfied, she had long been accustomed to it. This was not the first time that she had to work unexpectedly, and it would definitely not be the last time.
Shibata had a private car, but after some consideration, he did not choose to drive, but took a taxi to Yoyogi Park.
Yoyogi Park is located near Meiji Jingu Shrine. Originally, this park was also a royal garden, but it was opened to the public for free six years ago. It belongs to Shibuya District and is considered the commercial center of Tokyo.
Yoyogi Park closes at 10pm, and when Shibata arrived at the park gate it was already 9:50pm, when the administrators would normally have started preparing to close the park. But the park gate was empty, with no visitors or administrators.
Shibata hesitated, holding his phone ready to call the police, and then walked into the park. He really wanted to know about the video, so much so that he knew such a meeting was dangerous.
Although he considered whether it was a prank, Shibata still walked towards the agreed place.
As soon as he reached the river, Shibata met someone, but it was not what he expected. It was a park manager in uniform.
"Sorry, I'm..." He was about to explain why he entered the park during closing time, but he realized something was wrong.
"You came."
"Is that the video you sent me?"
The 'Admin' nodded.
"You can call me Simon. I have observed you for a long time, Mr. Shibata."
The administrator was an old man in his sixties, but there was something indescribable about the tone of his voice.
"Simon, who are you?"
"Spaceman."
Although he had guessed it a long time ago, Shibata didn't expect the other party to admit it so straightforwardly.
"I won't lie to you, Mr. Shibata, because I think it's okay to hide something when being interviewed by a reporter, but it's better not to lie."
"So you'll keep it secret?"
"It's only natural, Mr. Reporter, I will only answer what I am willing to answer. I think this is the right of the person being interviewed."
This is a fact.
"Also, you don't have to hide your phone in your pocket to record secretly. You can take it out and record me openly. I don't mind that."
"So," Shibata took out his phone and said, "What do you mean by sending me that video and asking me to come here?"
"Everything in the video is real and it really happened."
"But that's not complete!"
"Of course, I admit that the video is incomplete. Like I said, I will hide something, but I won't lie. They did say so and thought so. That's the problem, isn't it?"
Shibata's phone was clearly in his hand, but it seemed as if an invisible hand was controlling it, switching to the Qiuqiu interface. The video opened automatically.
[“Collect human emotions such as happiness and fear, and amplify them to the point where they are enough to attract super beasts.”]
That was the surveillance footage from the TAC base, and the researcher in the white coat, Dr. Kikaji Yoichi, said so. Then the person who took over the conversation was Team Member Konno, who Shibata was already familiar with.
[“Happiness and fear? Isn’t that an amusement park?”
"Using the amusement park as bait, there are too many emotions there. And using a device that amplifies emotions, there is indeed a great chance that we can catch all the remaining super beasts on Earth."】
Using the amusement park as bait, Shibata felt cold all over. He didn't want to believe that this was really something the TAC team would consider.
TAC is the light of mankind, he has always felt so.
Being betrayed by his wife and abandoned by life, that was Shibata's last belief in humanity. How could such a thing be possible? TAC must never say such a thing.
"You don't believe it? Then you must have heard of 'Dreamland'?"
Shibata was stunned, his whole body was like an ice sculpture. After a while, he lowered his head and stared at the phone in his hand. Because the game was on the phone interface.
The Oshima Group announced that the Dreamland Park would be completed within half a year. It was strange for a group that was a real estate and financial group a year ago to suddenly build an amusement park.
Yes, if it is the TAC team, the power of the human military top brass, then it is indeed possible to complete it within half a year.
"So you see, TAC not only has such a plan, but has also started to implement it."
So that plan, that dreamland, the dreamland that his daughter Tugumi also helped design...
He also promised Thrush that he would take her to Dreamland when it opened in winter.
TAC is going to use all the children as bait?
How could... How could... This kind of thing be allowed?
"Let's go, I'll take you to see it."
"Look, what?"
"That 'Dreamland', do you think that it is TAC using the most advanced technology in the construction site? I will take you to see it now."
Shibata found himself unable to think.
“Isn’t it TAC that’s doing the construction?”
The business of 'administrator' is like the final death knell.
"The ones doing the construction are aliens. Yes, just like me, aliens from outer space. So you see, TAC was able to join forces with aliens and use the children on Earth as bait."
"This is really interesting, isn't it?"
"To destroy the super beasts. It's a very sacred purpose, so anything is allowed. A group of little devils can save millions of people on the earth. TAC will not have any sins, they will only receive praises."
Chapter 326 Urgent News
Early in the morning, all members of the TAC team were urgently assembled.
This is the first time without super beasts or aliens.
"What's the news?"
It wasn't news at first, but a video on mobile phones that went viral on the 'Mr. White Rabbit' forum.
In the TAC team, Noriko also registered an account on the forum. At present, 'Mr. White Rabbit' is not on the hot list, but there is overwhelming hype about it. She saw it early this morning.
Although I knew it was not good, I didn't expect it to be this bad.
If it was just the mobile phone side, it wouldn't be a big problem, because from the release to now, the company has sold only tens of thousands of mobile phones on the market. Discussions are always limited to this total number.
But the problem is the involvement of the media.
Screenshots of the video were circulated in various media, whether official media or various tabloids. Although the government can control large media such as NHK and order them to stop reporting, it is impossible to ban those small media.
So the entire Tokyo, no, the entire island country was blown up.
