Guys Read this guaranteed ga nyesel, cave dare guarantee, sipnosis: this story about supernatural adventure with a unique leveling system that is, there are ghosts and mysteries that are behind the door, in search of his parents, Chen Ge undertakes a life-threatening mission
"It's the first time I've visited a ghost house that's not scary."+
"The props are too fake, I don't feel scared. In fact, it all feels like a joke to me."
"Materialists like us naturally have nothing to fear! Ghosts aren't real!"
"I hate to say it, but I already said it. We should have stayed at the hostel, I've almost reached another level in my online game."
A group of students grumbled in disappointment in front of Jiujiang City's House of Horrors before they left on their motorbikes. Chen Ge, who was holding a stack of advertising flyers for the Ghost House, shook her head dejectedly when she saw this.
The art of scaring is a skill, but with the introduction of scary movies, the threshold of many modern citizens for fear has increased. A visit to the Ghost House is no different than a walk in the backyard by yourself.
"Boss!"
A clear female voice emerged from behind him. Chen Ge turned around and saw a slender 'zombie' in nurse clothes that ran out of the Haunted House with anger.
"What's up, Xiao Wan?" The name of the zombie was Xu Wan; he was one of the temporary actors hired by the Haunted House.
"Some of these bastards, they're trying to use me!" the girl hissed through gritted teeth, her fists clutching tightly.
So, it's just to complain ...
"That's terrible; they won't even leave the zombies quietly." As the boss, naturally Chen Ge was on Xiao Wan's side. "Later on, I'll ask the amusement park manager to pull the surveillance footage."
"No need for that. When I realized their intentions, my punch flew straight into the boy's face." Xu Wan pointed at the bloodstain on the end of his shirt and exclaimed proudly, "Look, this is not fake blood."
"Good, good, a girl has to learn how to protect herself."
Chen Ge wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. When he turned to look at the sunset, he said, "I guess it's time to call it a day. We probably won't have any more visitors, so help me get away and let everyone know that we can get home from work early today. "
However, she realizes that the girl with the zombie make-up is not trying to stay away.
"Is there anything else?"
"Boss ..." Xu Wan hesitated before pulling two letters out of his pocket slowly.
"This is the resignation letter from Tao Ming and Xiao Wei. You've been a great boss to them, so they don't have to face to face to give it to you directly and tell me to hand it over to you."
"They stopped?" Chen Ge asked a clear question when he received the letters, then he added, "Everyone has his own dream to pursue, so there you have it. Xiao Wan, you can leave now if there's nothing else."
"Okay, I'll go remove the make-up first."
After the cute little zombie left, Chen Ge lit a cigarette silently. Half a year ago, when his parents mysteriously disappeared, the only thing they left behind was this Ghost House. In order to keep their memories alive, Chen Ge had resigned from his day job to focus on managing this Haunted House.
Unfortunately, times have changed.
Regardless of the niche genre, there is great competition among Haunted Houses, and there are many limitations as well. Scary scenarios will miss the scare factor after the initial experience, but constant updates will require a lot of resources and money.
Starting from a few weeks ago, Haunted House was in the red zone; revenue from daily ticket sales barely covered electricity and water costs.
"I wonder how long I can last."
After putting out the cigarette, as Chen Ge prepared to return to the Ghost House, a middle-aged man wearing a uniform for New Century Park walked towards him. When he saw it, Chen Ge increased his steps like a mouse looking at a cat.
"You think you can pretend you don't see me?" The middle-aged man placed his hand on Chen Ge's shoulder. "Today, we really need to talk about it. You've been owed rent and utilities for two months. The higher-ups are moving my neck to chase after him, so pay up!"
"Uncle Xu, it's not that I don't want to pay you, but I really don't have anything to pay you. Can you give me one more month?"
"That's what you said last month!"
"I promise, this is definitely the last time!" Chen Ge patted his chest as he promised sincerely.
"People have moved out of the Haunted House. Listen to me, there's no point in being this stubborn." When the middle-aged man named Uncle Xu saw the letters in Chen Ge's hands, the strength on Chen Ge's shoulders gradually lightened. "You're still very young; you can still start with a different career, so why are you doing this for yourself?"
"Uncle Xu, I know you're just watching me, but this Ghost House carries a different meaning to me. I guess I still don't want to let my parents' last memories go," Chen Ge said in a low tone.voiced as if he was afraid others would hear him.3
As the manager of the amusement park, the middle-aged man knew about the disappearance of Chen Ge's parents. He did not answer immediately. After a few seconds, he sighed and said, "Well, I can understand your feelings. I'll try my best to talk to the management for you and see if they can give you a few more weeks."
"Thank you, Uncle Xu!"
"Don't thank me immediately, you better make sure that you can increase ticket sales or the ending will be the same."
After sending the amusement park manager away, Chen Ge returned to the Haunted House and began his daily routine of checking equipment, tending to items, and cleaning.
"False blood in the treatment room is almost empty; I have to buy a new batch."
"If this corridor could be made a little more inclined to the side, it would create a better blind spot to scare visitors."
"Oh no, this doll is broken; I have to fix it later."
"F* ck! What happened to the light bulb I installed here last week? Who has stolen it—"
In the eyes of outsiders, he was the owner of the Haunted House, a young businessman, but only Chen Ge could understand the difficulty behind maintaining the Haunted House.
Ghost House is a kind of entertainment. Stuck in a frightening environment, one's physical and mental situation will be maintained at a high level, but when stress is released, it will lead to a sense of relief and satisfaction; it is no different than the way of massage.
At the same time, most of the Haunted Houses were one-trick ponies. The most effective business method for Ghost House is to make it mobile so that it will constantly attract a lot of new visitors. The Ghost House that was stuck in a certain location like Chen Ge had to have immense popularity to lure the crowd, or they would not be able to last long. The fact that he has managed to survive for so long has been, in some way, a miracle.
"Still longing for fake blood. If I remember correctly, there's still supplies in the attic."
The Haunted House is separated into three floors; the first and second floors are for a haunted scenario while the third floor is a warehouse.
After pushing open the wooden door, behind the mist of wood chips and dust, there were various kinds of unwanted materials and materials left behind by Chen Ge's parents when they were managing the Haunted House.
Unwilling to face the past, Chen Ge rarely came to this place.
"Now that I think about it, almost half a year is already."
Looking at the various equipment, Chen Ge recalled his childhood. By then, her family had managed the mobile Ghost House, so she got the chance to travel to the country with her parents. When the two adults were busy, they would leave Chen Ge alone backstage to accompany the various ghosts, so Chen Ge's unnatural guts had been trained ever since he was young.
After all, when his friends of the same age were playing with blocks and puzzles, he was running around with fake human heads.
"These are all precious memories."
Chen Ge walked aimlessly before finding herself back in the wooden box that held some of the remaining items from her parents.
Inside sat a black cell phone and a rough-looking doll. The doll was the first toy that Chen Ge made when he was a child, but he did not remember the phone.
These two items had been found in an abandoned hospital in the countryside, and regarding why Chen Ge's parents went there in the middle of the night, even the police could not give him an answer.
"Where are you two?" Chen Ge took the doll and pinched her fat face.+
Then, sighing, he said to himself, "I'd better look for that fake blood. If I can't survive this season, I really have to say goodbye to this Ghost House."
Chen Ge spoke to herself, but when she said so, the black phone, which had been silent inside the box, suddenly lit up with a dim and cold light.
"What's going on? Dark technology or supernatural phenomena?" If this were to happen to someone else, that person would probably run screaming bloody murder, but in comparison, Chen Ge's reaction was much calmer. He picked up the phone and checked it closer.
"It's weird. I've tried to unlock this phone over a hundred times before, but it didn't work, so why did today open itself? This phone was found where my parents disappeared, so could it be that they knew I was in trouble and called me to help? "
Chen Ge opened the phone, and on the front page with a black background, there was only one application available. It had the shape of the Haunted House as an icon.
"Wait ... It looks very familiar, like the front entrance of my own Haunted House!"
Frowning, Chen Ge clicked on the app open, and a row of blood-written letters appeared on the screen — Are you sure there are ghosts in this world?
Objectively, this was a metaphysical philosophical question; for an engineering student like Chen Ge, it was practically unanswerable.
"There should be," Chen Ge murmured to himself, and a few seconds later, a new sentence appeared on the screen.
"What you believe is the answer. From now on, you will officially take over as the new owner of the Haunted House. Of course, this is not something worth celebrating. Before the end of the tutorial, please take note of my last advice: suicide is the most cowardly behavior, and try your best to survive! "
"What and what? But this arrogant way of speaking resembles my father."
Chen Ge clicked on the app again, and a new window appeared.
