The sudden exclamations from the carousel drew the attention of many people. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Donovan Jennings rushed over immediately.
Since today was primarily a birthday party, only gentler amusement projects like the carousel and Ferris wheel were open in the park.
It was purely to let the guests attending pass the time.
For example, right now, several young scions were sitting on the carousel, while girls in pretty dresses, inconvenient for horseback riding, sat inside pumpkin carriages.
The carousel wasn’t spinning fast, and the bubbles floating around created a romantic atmosphere that even drew some ladies to join in.
However, unexpectedly, the carousel, which had been slowly rotating, inexplicably sped up and showed no intention of stopping.
Some of the riders sensed something was wrong and immediately signaled for the staff nearby to stop it.
"What’s wrong with this carousel? Stop it now!"
Hearing this, the staff quickly attempted to shut down the machine.
However, for some reason, the control panel seemed to malfunction, and no matter how they tried, they couldn’t stop the carousel.
Not only did it not stop, but it even spun faster!
The faces of the staff members turned pale with fear.
Everyone sitting on it was from prominent families or were their wives. Although the current speed wasn’t enough to throw people off, not stopping was still dangerous.
Leaving the carousel while it was still running would inevitably cause injuries due to inertia.
Donovan Jennings immediately arrived to calm everyone on the carousel,
"Please don’t panic, and don’t move. Stay seated and hold onto the handles. The staff will handle this as soon as possible."
Although Donovan said this, he found the situation quite strange.
He had all the amusement park facilities inspected and repaired in advance; a sudden malfunction was impossible.
He would never allow such an incident to ruin Scarlett’s birthday party.
But it happened nonetheless.
Just as Donovan was pondering, he heard a sudden, excited cheer amid the startled cries from the carousel,
"Wow... This is fun! It’s going faster, faster!"
Upon closer inspection, Donovan recognized a familiar face on the second floor of the carousel.
It was Dashiell.
Since it was Scarlett’s birthday party and with such a theme, Dashiell had naturally been invited.
Donovan knew Dashiell’s true identity. Though he never felt intimidated by him, seeing him now, Donovan couldn’t help but suspect if the machine’s sudden loss of control had anything to do with him.
They say demons unconsciously release their demonic power when they’re happy...
Not only did Donovan think this, but Scarlett Jennings had the same suspicion when she first saw Dashiell.
However, it wasn’t him.
Dashiell’s demonic power was stable, without an ounce of leakage.
The machine’s malfunction wasn’t due to him.
Then what caused the abnormal speed?
"What’s going on? If nothing else works, just cut the power!"
Someone suggested while looking at the carousel in front of them.
"No!"
Adam Jennings, who had just arrived, said, "Cutting the power at this speed will cause the machine to stop abruptly, and the people on it will be thrown off due to inertia."
"Then what should we do?!"
"Ah, I want to get off! Let me off now!"
The two girls, initially frightened and whimpering, saw Dashiell standing boldly on the rotating platform and forgot their crying, hurriedly reaching out to grab him,
"You, don’t stand outside, come inside quickly!"
If he fell, it would be disastrous!
Seeing that Dashiell was unwilling to come inside, the two girls anxiously urged him,
"Hold onto the pillar beside you! Hold on tight!"
"Got it."
Dashiell thought they were making a fuss over nothing, but not wanting to hear them keep shouting, he casually held onto the carousel beside him.
At the same time, he used his other hand to set up a small barrier around their carriage.
Although his demonic power couldn’t stop this big contraption, enclosing a small section was doable.
This way, even if their small carriage was flung out entirely, the people inside wouldn’t get hurt.
Dashiell thought he was a genius.
Scarlett Jennings must get him the biggest piece of cake later!
Dashiell also pulled several people who were still clinging to the horses on the second floor into the carriage with a door and used the same method to seal them inside.
While hesitating whether to go downstairs to "stabilize" those shouting below, he heard Scarlett Jennings’ clear voice chanting from downstairs,
"...Command of the City Deity, Five Ghosts Assistance, come swiftly."
With Scarlett’s command, five strands of unfamiliar Ghost Energy simultaneously fell at five positions on the carousel.
The people present couldn’t see the so-called Ghost Energy, but from Dashiell’s perspective, he could clearly see the five strands of Ghost Energy manifesting as five strange ghosts.
The moment they appeared, they swiftly clung to the edge of the carousel, then expressionlessly activated their Ghost Power,
Pulling! In the opposite direction of the carousel’s rotation!
