Oh Mr General!

97: Amusement Park 2

Everyone there was confused. Hayden who had bought the ticket waved his hands in denial. "Sorry I think you have gotten the wrong people. I have only bought the normal pass into the Theme Park."

"Oh? Well I apologise sir, but the tickets you purchased earlier, will be refunded by us in the office later on. We will be providing you with the Vip tickets for the Theme Park."

"Huh?" Everyone was confused by the manager's answer. Sato took a short while to process what had just happened before coming to a conclusion.

He looked at Gray who stood close by him. "Did you do this?"

"Yes." Gray replied Sato. "The creator of Grand Theme Parks is my granduncle."

That was all that was needed to be said for Sato to understand the whole situation. It seemed like the vast background of Gray's truly comes in handy.

Everyone found out about what Gray had done when they went into the Vip officer. They were extremely confused at how an officer In the army can have such great connections. Yet, they didn't ask around as it would be too rude of them.

After the processing of passes, everyone entered the park with happy spirits. In the end, everyone present was given a one year Express pass to go to the Grand Theme Park. Not only that, for today, all expenses within the Park will be paid for. At night, they would also be allowed to watch the fireworks from a private viewing deck. They were originally given a tour guide to bring them around, but they chose to not have one as it wasn't actually needed for the youngsters.

"Alright guys... Let's roll out!"

...

The group of gamers headed out to ride rides ranging from Roller-coasters to Theatric Shows to Bumper Cars and back to more roller-coasters. For lunch they went for the most expensive option, the Carribean Bay Restaurant.

The whole experience was out of this world. With the express pass, they never needed to queue for any rides and were able to go on it within 5 minutes. Not only that, whenever they were hungry, the usually overpriced foods on the street side was completely free for the hungry young boys.

It was 5pm and the group started to get nauseous from all the roller-coasters. They sat outside one of the rides, resting.

"Hmm... What should we do now?" Hobz placed his head on his hands as he stared into blank space. Ming and Hayden were looking at the map of the park. Usually, the boys would have only been able to ride three or four rides at best. Yet now, they rode finish almost everything that they wanted.

Hanz was enjoying a Pretzel while humming to a familiar song tune. He looked around and found something good that would probably intrigue everyone.

"Guys, how about that?" He pointed to a delapidated wooden building that had figures of ghosts, vampires and skeletons on the outside. As expected, most of the guys shouted out in eagerness.

"A haunted house!"

The only one that looked rather afraid was Hayden. He was reluctant to go into the place at all.

"Hayden, your in-game character is literally a necromancer... Why are you so scared of a haunted house?"

"Well, in game they can't physically come at you. However, what if they was an actual psychopath inside the haunted house and they wanted to kill me?" Hayden spoke paranoically. His hand was sweating and forehead was covered in sweet.

In the end, Laia had to step in and physically pull his brother into the haunted house. "Relax bro, big sis will protect you from anything that comes for you!"

"Noooo!"

Hobz and Hanz went in together as a pair too, leaving Sato, Ming and Gray. Sato turned around to ask Gray, seeing that Ming was alone by himself. "Gray, Ming is all alone for the haunted house. Can I go with him and you go with someone else?"

"Oh no, it's fine really. I can go by mys.." Ming wanted to refuse his offer, but was interrupted by Gray's okay. He felt like he was intruding on the two at times. There was something about their relationship that was off.

"Well, let's go then, Ming!" Sato walked through the gateway smilingly, with Ming following closely behind. Gray watched them leave from afar. His eyes never left sight of Sato.

As they headed inside, the atmosphere and surroundings got dark. Sato and Ming huddled closely while shuffling their feets slowly. To be very honest, Sato wasn't exactly a very brave person when it came to supernatural things. He would be less scared of fighting a gangster than seeing a zombie in a haunted house.

Suddenly out of no where, a female ghost that had blood all over her face, popped out of a corner of the room. Sato shouted out in fear as he hugged Ming tightly. Ming who wasn't afraid of this kinds of things, firmly stood there for Sato as he fended the ghost from the scared boy.

Throughout the remaining parts, Ming for grab hold of Sato's hand, guiding him forward. He would check for any jump scares to not let Sato get even more frightened.

"There's no need to be afraid of these people. They are all fake, Sato." Ming reassured Sato, who had closed his eyes for more than half of the haunted house.

After five grueling minutes, the pair finally made it outside, where they were welcomed by the setting sun. The other two pairs that went first were already waiting outside.

Hayden who was more scared than Sato, looked as if his soul had left his body. He was lying down on a bench all pale from the experience. Gray came out soon after looking like he had taken a stroll in the park. Clearly, the experience had no effect on him.

"Thank you for guiding me through, Ming." Sato gave his best friend a hug while sighing in relief. He didn't know his casual action had resulted in two different reactions from two different guys.
