The reward for a four-star mission was much better than a three-star mission. It took Chen Ge a long time to finish reading. He memorized all the information in his mind.
The black phone is very vague. I'll need to go back and see for myself what the reward is.
His finger skimmed through the information. Chen Ge looked at the many new scenarios and sighed from the bottom of his heart. This is a treat for the visitors. The scary atmosphere created by a Demon God is only a few dozen RMB to experience it. That's a good deal.
Haunted House had been upgraded into Despair Theme Park. The overall sense of terror was increasing, and it was becoming more real. Sometimes, Chen Ge felt like he had returned to the world behind the door.
Perhaps when Haunted House reaches the final stage of its upgrade, it will blur the line between the inside and outside of the door and become a relay station between life and death.
Putting the black phone away, Chen Ge recovered some of his energy. He looked around.
The red high heels had returned to her previous appearance. Wrapped in bandages, she was staring at the giant spider hanging upside down on the ceiling.
The Tunnel Lady's son was wrapped in spider webs and blood vessels. The door inside his body did not appear to be able to be opened easily. Of all the Red Specters who had followed Chen Ge into the world of the black fog, the Tunnel Lady's son was the most injured.
"Leaving the world of the black fog requires such a high price?" Chen Ge tried to communicate with the Tunnel Lady's son, but the man ignored Chen Ge. He was trying his best to purge the curse and black fog from his body.
"Even though the ghost fetus has been killed, I've received another piece of bad news from the faceless doctor. The hospital is scarier than the ghost fetus. They can enter and leave Jiujiang at will. With your current condition, if they come to find you, you'll be dead for sure. How about …" Chen Ge was silent for a moment. "Come with me for now. You can come back after you've fully recovered."
The Tunnel Lady's son hung from the ceiling. He had a feeling that Chen Ge's words were rather familiar, like he had heard them somewhere before.
"The dreams that accumulated in the tunnel have mostly dissipated. Your place is too dangerous now. This is the time when you're at your weakest." Chen Ge looked at the large spider above his head. "You helped me kill the ghost fetus, and the injuries on your body were caused by me. I hope you can give me a chance to make up for it. I have a Red Specter who is very good at dispelling curses at my Haunted House. She will help you with the treatment. After your body has fully recovered, you can come back. When you come to my Haunted House, I will definitely give you the best treatment. Perhaps I will even leave you with some beautiful memories. "
Chen Ge's words were very sincere, and there was nothing wrong with them. This was a very simple story of how a drop of water should be repaid with a fountain.
As if to aid Chen Ge in persuading him, the red high heels reached out and pressed down on one of the spider's legs. In just ten seconds, a black fog seeped out from the spider's leg, and the condition of the Tunnel Lady's son improved noticeably.
After thinking for a long time, the Tunnel Woman's son decided to give Chen Ge a chance to repay his kindness. It was too slow for him to recover on his own.
"The child has placed so much trust in me, and I will not betray his trust." Chen Ge looked at the giant spider that had crawled back onto his back. "There is a door inside my body. This talent is a trump card. Without it, I might not have been able to escape from the world of the black fog this time."
Chen Ge wanted to keep the Tunnel Woman's son. Compared to the cold and creepy White Dragon Cave Tunnel, Chen Ge felt like his Haunted House was better. At least he did not need to harm others, and he could obtain endless negative emotions.
"Now, other than my employees, the people who know about the talent of the Tunnel Woman's son are either dead or trapped in the world of the black fog forever. In other words, this trump card has not been exposed. It might come in handy when dealing with the cursed hospital in the future."
Carrying the backpack, Chen Ge led the white cat out of White Dragon Cave Tunnel.
The sun fell on his body, and the warmth that he had not felt for a long time made his heart relax.
"Did you eat something else behind the door again? How come it feels like you've gotten fatter again? "
…
At 8: 50 am, Chen Ge returned to New Century Park. By then, the visitors had formed a long line outside the park, and most of them were there for Chen Ge's Haunted House.
Seeing the number of visitors increasing, but Chen Ge, the person who had the key to the Haunted House, did not show up, Xu Shu and Xu Wan were so anxious that they wanted to call the police to find Chen Ge.
"I'm sorry, my phone ran out of battery. I left in a hurry last night."
Chen Ge apologized as he hurried to open the Haunted House's security door.
When he left the night before, he had taken away all the Specters that he could. Now, there were only lingering spirits left in the Haunted House.
"It's good that you're fine."
Compared to the business, everyone, including Xu Shu, was more worried about Chen Ge. They had all noticed that Chen Ge had not been in a good condition recently.
After entering the Haunted House, Chen Ge had Xu Wan and the rest go to the dressing room first while he summoned Yan Danian and Lao Zhou. He had them return all the employees to their posts with the comic.
Chen Ge was so busy that he did not even have the time to talk. He rushed to put on everyone's make-up and finally made it back to normal.
The Haunted House now had many scenarios, and it could accommodate more than one hundred visitors at the same time.
As the Haunted House opened for business, many visitors had successfully cleared the three-star scenario, and now everyone's focus was on the four-star scenario.
Online and offline, various forums and discussion groups were speculating on who would be the first to clear the four-star scenario.
The Haunted House app that Director Luo had designed for Chen Ge's Haunted House had mysteriously become popular. Not only were there many Haunted House fans who downloaded it, there were also many 'cloud' visitors who downloaded it.
These 'cloud' visitors did not dare enter the Haunted House themselves, but they liked to watch other visitors challenge the Haunted House.
There were many visitors' experiences on the app, and various scary experiences had become the source of joy for these 'cloud' visitors every day.
Other than the visitors' sharing, Chen Ge's Haunted House had also attracted many internet celebrities. Chen Ge did not reject any of them, and he tried his best to fulfill any request that was not too ridiculous.
The internet celebrities relied on the Haunted House to gain attention, and the Haunted House relied on these celebrities to increase its fame.
Of course, the most important thing was that Chen Ge was not worried about the secrets of the scenarios being leaked. The speed at which he unlocked new scenarios had far surpassed the speed at which the visitors could explore them. This was unprecedented in the Haunted House industry.
Furthermore, even if the visitors came to visit the Haunted House excitedly after reading the guides and videos, they would realize that everything was different from what they had imagined.
The atmosphere, the sense of terror, and the real ghosts — these were not things that could be captured through videos.
If the sense of terror from a video was ten, then the sense of terror from being inside the Haunted House would be one hundred or more. Therefore, some of the visitors were scammed.
Director Luo's Haunted House support app was so popular that the futuristic theme park followed suit. They spent a lot of effort to promote it, but the effect was not ideal.
There were many reasons, but the most important one was that the futuristic theme park's Haunted House ranking was never open to the public. They did not want people to know that their Haunted House had been pressed to the ground and rubbed twice. Yes, twice.
"Now that the ghost fetus has been dealt with, I can finally relax." Chen Ge had Lao Zhou and Duan Yue take care of the visitors' safety while he entered the staff breakroom.
Closing the curtain, Chen Ge took out the comic that Yan Danian had just returned and released Xiao Sun and the other survivors from behind the door.
Looking at the unfamiliar environment around him, Xiao Sun was much more obedient this time. He rubbed his eyes, and he seemed to notice something wrong.
"Xiao Sun, there is something that I have to tell you." Chen Ge sat on the edge of the bed and touched the white cat's head. "Actually, you're already dead."
Hearing what Chen Ge said, not only Xiao Sun, even the other original residents behind the door had strange expressions on their faces.
"Think back." Chen Ge took out several pieces of paper and pen from the drawer and placed them on the table. Then he summoned Zhang Yi from the comic to help these original residents recover their memory.
The memory of being killed was definitely the most painful memory. The original residents' faces were pale. They could not accept the fact that they were already dead.
"The dead cannot come back to life. The only thing I can do for you is to help you find the killer and bring him to justice." Chen Ge pointed at the white paper on the table. "Write down the killer who killed you and reconstruct the whole process. I know this is cruel, but this is the last justice that I can help you get."
After Chen Ge said that, the other 'people' started to write, but only Xiao Sun stood where he was.
"What's wrong? Are you not feeling well? "
"It's not that." Xiao Sun shook his head and hesitated for a long time before he said, "I ran away from home. At the time, my family did not support my music career …"
"You want to go back to see them?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I'll take you there in the afternoon. Write down the address on the paper as well." Chen Ge then turned to the other original residents. "I will try my best to help you fulfill your last wishes. Write them down."
Drowsiness washed over him. Chen Ge placed the white cat and Xiaoxiao on the bed and then fell asleep. He could not hold on any longer.
In his sleep, Chen Ge felt the black phone in his pocket vibrate a few times, but he did not take it out to check before so many 'ghosts'.
He slept until noon. Chen Ge arranged the white paper on the table and asked the original residents some questions before he summoned them all back into the comic.
"It's really sinful. Some people achieve unimaginable success because of their obsession, and some people become ghosts in human skin because of their obsession." After he finished reading the information left behind by the original residents, he took out the black phone. There were a few more unread messages on it.
"Congratulations, Red Specter's Favored! Congratulations on obtaining a new employee — Sun Xiaojun (Cursed Seed): Cursed with bad luck. He is a very unique baleful Specter. The ghost fetus once wanted to raise him, but due to various accidents, the ghost fetus finally chose to give up. In a way, this is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to him.
"Congratulations on obtaining a new employee — Huang Mei (Baleful Specter): A vengeful spirit brought into the ghost fetus. She looks a lot like Wen Qing, so the ghost fetus never gave her any trouble.
"Congratulations on obtaining a new employee …"
Chen Ge gained seven new employees in a row, but these employees were not that loyal. They had not been trained by the company, so Chen Ge temporarily did not plan to have them 'receive' the visitors.
"After I help all the original residents complete their dying wishes, I believe there will be more people who are willing to become my employees."
After a whole morning of rest, Chen Ge still felt very tired. He went to the bathroom to wash his face. When he came back, he placed all the information inside his backpack.
"I'll go and report the case first and hand the information over to the police. Then, I'll bring the new employees to meet their families." Chen Ge had already planned everything out.
"Finally, I can live a peaceful life." Just as he said that, the phone that was charging rang.
Seeing the caller ID, Chen Ge's expression turned strange. "Lee Zheng? I haven't gone to find him, and he's already calling me? "
Answering the call, Lee Zheng's voice came from the other end. "Chen Ge, where are you now? Why did you keep your phone off last night? "
"Last night, I was … Can we meet up and talk?"
"I'm afraid you have no choice," Lee Zheng said in a serious tone. "The blind man who stayed with you at the mental hospital passed away last night. He died a horrible death. You need to come to Jiujiang People's Hospital immediately!"
"Chang Gu is dead?" Chen Ge had been so busy with the ghost fetus that he had almost forgotten about Chang Gu. Now that he suddenly heard this news, he was quite confused. He was still hoping that Chang Gu would help him make a movie.
"Okay, I'll be there in a minute!"
After giving a few words to Xu Shu, Chen Ge grabbed his backpack and hailed a taxi to the People's Hospital.
One of the sickrooms on the second floor of the hospital had been locked down. Chen Ge gave Lee Zheng's name before he was brought in.
Pushing open the sickroom door, Chen Ge felt an extremely chilling presence. His pupils narrowed, and he saw Chang Gu standing behind the curtain.
Expressionless, one of Chang Gu's eyes had been gouged out, and the other was completely white.
At that moment, Lee Zheng, two police officers, and two nurses were all inside the sickroom. When they saw Chen Ge walk in, they surrounded Chen Ge.
"Brother Zheng, what time did Chang Gu pass away last night? Do you suspect this is a homicide? "Chen Ge's eyes swept toward the curtain. Chang Gu did not seem to notice that Chen Ge was looking at him.
"The patient woke up at around midnight last night. His eyes started to bleed, and he kept calling out a name. Then there was no more sound. We tried our best, but we were unable to save him." The doctor sighed. "To be honest, this is the first time I've seen a patient like this. His body temperature is much lower than normal, and his organs are more active than normal, but he is unable to wake up. It was not until last night that his organs suddenly started to fail, and we could not find the reason. "
"The doctor is right. The patient's body has been sent for autopsy, and the coroner said that it was multiple organ failure that led to his death." After saying that, Lee Zheng turned to Chen Ge, and it caused Chen Ge's heart to shiver.
"The way he died is indeed strange, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, right?" When Chen Ge spoke, his eyes kept staring at the curtain.
"Before the patient died, he kept calling out a name, and that name was Chen Ge." Lee Zheng pulled over a chair. "I don't know why, but it feels like everything is related to you. How did you meet the patient?"
"He can be considered as my client. His sister went missing, and he wanted me to help investigate." Chen Ge stared at the curtain. His mind was not thinking about how to deal with Lee Zheng but the cause of Chang Gu's death.
Body temperature was much lower than normal, and his body was stronger than normal. These 'symptoms' were similar to his, and he was afraid that one day, he would end up like Chang Gu.
