"You don't have to worry about interpersonal relationships. I will definitely get along well with my colleagues. However, you can pay me according to the standard of an intern. It won't be too late to become a permanent employee after I make some achievements." Wu Jinpeng's attitude was very sincere.
"I don't have interns at my place, or rather, the internship period is short. Normally, I can tell whether someone is suitable or not at first sight." Chen Ge's Haunted House had an induction ceremony for new employees. After gaining Chen Ge's trust, the new employee would follow the visitors to visit all the scenarios inside the Haunted House. If they could be saved, it meant that the new employee was good enough to stay and work for them.
"Okay, then I'll send Wu Sheng to school tomorrow and go through the resignation process. Since we're laying off people, the boss will probably approve it by noon. I'll go to our Haunted House in the afternoon. By the way, where is our Haunted House? "
"Western Jiujiang's New Century Park Haunted House." Chen Ge looked at Wu Jinpeng. This was the fifth living employee that he had personally recruited. Whether it was to open a branch in Xin Hai or to deal with other matters, Wu Jinpeng would be of great help.
The shadows would be taken care of by the Specters, and the sunlight would be taken care of by the living. A good Haunted House needed both hands.
After Wu Jinpeng's joining ceremony, he would be considered one of them, and Chen Ge always treated his employees like family.
"Brother Peng, I have one last question for you." Chen Ge stood up and walked to Wu Kun. "Has your brother been like this since he was young? When your parents were still alive, did they take him for treatment? "
"When he was young, my parents did, but the effect was very bad. Even though he couldn't live on his own, he knew how to do some chores. My brother is very kind, and he sometimes volunteered to help me." Wu Jinpeng sat down beside his brother. "There was a period of time when I went to work during the day and sang at the bar at night. It was my brother who accompanied Wu Sheng. Even though both of them were physically handicapped, they were good friends."
"Good friends? That's weird. " Chen Ge did not want to hide anything. "Wu Sheng's world behind the door is filled with many images, and they are all related to real life, but I did not see any image of your brother behind the door. It's like there is no such person in Wu Sheng's memory."
"That's impossible. They spend every day together."
"This is only the first thing that I find strange. The second thing that I find strange is the fan in Wu Kun's hand. Why does he keep saying it's a fan?" Chen Ge pointed at Wu Kun's scary hand. "Even though your brother's IQ is lower than normal, he is definitely not a lunatic. He doesn't look like the kind of person who would stick his hand into the fan. So, I think there might be someone else there that day!"
"You're saying that my brother's hand was pressed into the fan?" Wu Jinpeng clenched his teeth.
"Otherwise, why would he keep talking about the fan? He is most likely reminding you." Wu Jinpeng woke Wu Kun up the moment Chen Ge finished his words.
Wu Kun, who knew nothing, hugged the fan and leaned against the wall. He was scared and angry.
"Little Kun, I'm here. Is your hand being bullied? Don't be afraid. Have you forgotten how your brother fought for you when you were young? Whoever dares to bully you, Big Brother will beat them up. Can you tell Big Brother? "
Wu Jinpeng spoke quickly. He was so angry that he scared his little brother.
Wu Kun hugged the fan and covered himself with a thin blanket. He crawled on the ground and screamed.
"Can't you guys let me sleep!"
The soundproofing of the rental was bad, and the neighbors had their complaints. Chen Ge and Wu Jinpeng quickly worked together to restrain Wu Kun.
"Little Kun, don't be afraid. I'm here with you." Wu Jinpeng touched Wu Kun's head, but his eyes turned to Chen Ge. "Now that you mention it, I'm reminded of something. My brother's condition has been stable, but after his hand was injured by the fan, his condition worsened."
"After that incident, did your brother make any other unusual movements?"
Wu Jinpeng thought about it. "Yes, he did. Several times when I came back from work, I saw my brother hiding in the corner, staring at his own shadow. Sometimes, he would even hit his own shadow."
"It was the shadow from Li Wan City who injured Wu Kun? But based on the shadow's personality, if Wu Kun stood in his way, he would kill Wu Kun without mercy. Could it be that he was careless? " Chen Ge did not expect to find any clues from Wu Jinpeng's brother. "Other than the fan, did Wu Kun say anything else that was strange?"
"Let me think about it." Wu Jinpeng frowned. "By the way, at the time, we lived in the old city. Whenever Wu Kun left the house, he would run very fast like he did not want to stay on our floor. I once asked him why, and he pointed at our neighbor's door and kept screaming ghost, ghost, ghost, ghost!"
"The old city? Where did your family live in the old city? "
"Initially, we lived at Happy East Street in Jiujiang's old city. Then, we moved to Eastern Jiujiang. After a while, due to work, we moved to Western Jiujiang." Wu Jinpeng gave Chen Ge all the addresses that he had lived in.
"Your family lived in the old city, and so did Jiang Ming. Fan Yu lived there when he was young. Is the old city really that scary?" Chen Ge memorized Wu Jinpeng's address. He planned to go there to take a look.
"Wait a minute, I'm reminded of something else." Wu Jinpeng opened the wooden box that held the guitar and took out a mud statuette with Wu Sheng's name. The statuette was dark like it was made from mud mixed with blood. "When we lived in the old city, that strange neighbor gave us an altar. He said that if we kept it at home, Wu Sheng would be able to speak again in nine years."
"What about the altar?"
"The altar was very big, so it was not convenient to carry it around. When we moved the second time, we left it at the rental in Eastern Jiujiang. The new tenant thought the altar was unlucky, so they moved it to the basement." Wu Jinpeng handed the statuette in his palm to Chen Ge. "But we've been carrying the statuette that was placed inside the altar with us."
Everything matched up. Chen Ge accepted the statuette and placed it on his shadow. "Brother Peng, the altar is not worshiping a god. You've been harmed by the neighbor at the old city."
"Could it be that neighbor who pushed Wu Kun's hand into the fan?"
"I can't be sure for now, but I will investigate this. Rest early, I won't disturb you any longer." Chen Ge picked up the statuette that was placed on his shadow and returned it to Wu Jinpeng. "Remember to come to work tomorrow."
Strangely enough, not long after the statuette was placed on Chen Ge's shadow, the black and red blood on the statuette disappeared.
