"Is ghost fetus another name for the School of the Afterlife?" Shang Guan Qing Hong whispered to ask his teammate, and the man was confused as well.
"Perhaps. A scenario on the scale of the School of the Afterlife would take more than a year to complete. It's already not easy for their haunted house to have one."
"You have a point. Looks like they just changed the name."
"How come I don't think that's the case? We've been tricked. " Shang Guan Qing Hong had interacted with Chen Ge before, so he knew what kind of person Chen Ge was. With Chen Ge's personality, he would not back down. When Chen Ge's tone changed, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
"It's too late to say anything now. We've already agreed to it. We can't go back on our words. I can't afford to lose face like that." The man in the sunglasses also heard the conversation between Shang Guan Qing Hong and the other person. He opened his mouth to say, "Don't worry, even if the ghost fetus and the School of the Afterlife are two different scenarios, it won't affect us that much. We've all been in this business for half our lives, so we know how it works. It's easy for him to scare the visitors, but it's impossible for him to scare us."
The man in the sunglasses had that confidence. He appeared to be the top haunted house designer in the country. Even though Chen Ge did not know him, he had quite the reputation among the other haunted house designers.
When the man in the sunglasses spoke, the others nodded in agreement. The nine visitors all followed Chen Ge to stand beside Xu Shu.
"Uncle, give me nine tickets to the ghost fetus scenario." Chen Ge stumped Xu Shu. Even he, as the ticket seller, had not heard of this ghost fetus scenario before, but he did not dare embarrass Chen Ge in front of so many people, so he handed the nine tickets to Shang Guan Qing Hong's group.
This was the first time the visitors had heard about the ghost fetus scenario, and they were all more excited than the last. Many of the experienced visitors who were waiting at the resting hall came running out.
"The four-star ghost fetus scenario is open for the first time today! Fifty percent discount! Friends who want to get on the bus, don't miss this opportunity! The first time you try out a new scenario is the most interesting. It's like watching a live match. You never know what's going to happen in the next second. The feeling of the unknown is very exciting. " Once Chen Ge said that, the face of Shang Guan Qing Hong, who was holding the ticket, turned green. He believed that the ghost fetus and the School of the Afterlife were two different scenarios, and all the information that he had gathered earlier was useless.
Trying his best to control his expression, Shang Guan Qing Hong tried to make eye contact with the other visitor next to him, but the latter was completely dumbfounded as well.
"A brand new setting, an extreme experience, and all of this only costs 20 RMB. What are you waiting for?" The nine visitors all knew each other. It was not convenient for Chen Ge to shove his own employees into the group, so he needed more visitors to participate.
Whenever Chen Ge said that, the old visitors at the Haunted House would all take a step back, trying to stay as far away from him as possible.
When a new scenario was opened, a few visitors would be sacrificed to the gods. The regular visitors all retreated. They were very familiar with Chen Ge's routine. When other haunted houses suddenly gave a discount, it meant that there was a big event going on, but when Chen Ge's haunted house gave a discount, it meant that something big was about to happen.
Everyone had learned their lesson. No one came to Chen Ge's side. Just as he was about to give up, a voice came from the crowd.
"Haven't you all been skipping classes to come here? Why aren't you saying anything now? " A middle-aged man wearing glasses walked out. "Forensic students come here every day to play haunted houses, and it's been half a year, but you still haven't cleared the scenario. In many ways, you are the worst batch of students that I've ever taught."
"Mr Wang, shh! Now is not the time to talk. Don't let Mr Chen target you. " The students standing next to the middle-aged man quickly spoke. One of them looked honest, and he was an old friend of Chen Ge's.
"Heshan, I heard you were the first one to come to this haunted house. You've not only tricked all your seniors but also increased the truancy rate by three percent. We'll have to talk about this when we get back." The middle-aged man was very strict, and he did not dare raise his head.
"Heshan! Long time no see! " Chen Ge was worried that he would not be able to find anyone, but when he saw the students from Jiujiang University of Law and Medicine, he ran over happily like he had seen his family. "How should I refer to you, sir?"
"My surname is Wang. I'm a senior lecturer at Jiujiang University of Law and Medicine." The students on both sides kept signaling Mr Wang with their eyes, but Mr Wang did not care. "The students often skip class to come to your haunted house. Even after class, they're discussing how to clear the haunted house. Their parents pay their tuition, and the government provides them with such a good education environment. Do you think they'll be thinking about clearing the haunted house every day?"
Mr Wang was a very strict and responsible teacher. This could be seen from the fact that he had bought his own ticket to come to the theme park to catch the students who had skipped class.
Furthermore, this teacher had probably been observing the haunted house for a long time. The moment he made his move, he caught many students in the act.
"Work and rest. Skipping class to visit a haunted house is definitely not right, but if you arrange your time reasonably, visiting a haunted house can help you release your stress. It's a very effective way to reduce stress." Chen Ge did not care about the expressions of the old visitors around him. He said seriously, "Mr Wang, do you want to give it a try? After you try it, perhaps you'll understand why the students are so passionate about visiting a haunted house. After all, my haunted house is different from other haunted houses. There are many mysteries and unsolved cases inside it. During the visit, the visitors can slowly improve their observation, analysis, and judgment. "
"Sir! Think twice! " Heshan quickly grabbed Mr Wang's arm. "The new four-star scenario is very scary. It's not a joke!"
"Are you trying to provoke me?" Mr Wang glared at Heshan. "I've been involved in many heavy crimes, and I just retired from the frontline two years ago. What kind of gory and scary scenario have I not seen before?"
The innocent Heshan looked like he had been wronged. "Sir …"
"A real crime scene is one hundred times scarier than a made-up haunted house because you'll be able to feel the life that has left this place. The smell, the marks, the wounds, all the clues are hiding the real fear." Mr Wang shook his head. "When you become a qualified forensic doctor in the future, you'll understand all this. Then you'll understand that the so-called haunted house can only bring you temporary shock, but it will never bring you true fear."
"Well said, I've experienced it myself." Chen Ge finally understood. This Mr Wang was not a normal person. He was a forensic doctor who had retired from the frontline two years ago, and he had real skills.
Unfortunately, because Mr Wang had retired from the frontline two years ago, he had no idea how many cases Chen Ge had helped the police solve in the past few months. The number of heavy crimes was uncountable, and there were already quite a few major ones.
Chen Ge admired people like Mr Wang who had real skills. Of course, he also hoped that he could dispel Mr Wang's prejudice against his haunted house. "Mr Wang, buy the ticket here."
"There has to be a reason why your haunted house is so popular. I'm not here to ruin your reputation. I just want to teach my students a lesson. The kids these days are used to laughing and joking, but the profession of forensic doctor is very serious." After saying that, Mr Wang grabbed the two students beside him. "Come, let's go and experience it together. Actually, I've been listening to your research every day, and I'm quite curious as well."
Mr Wang was very strong. Heshan only realized it when his body started to move forward. "Together? What the f * ck! "
"How can you curse in front of your teacher?" Chen Ge smiled. He was reminded of the first time he met Heshan. That day, Heshan had come with Gao Ru Xue.
"No! Teacher! Wait a minute! " Not only Heshan, even the other student from Jiujiang University of Law and Medicine who was closer to Mr Wang was dragged to the ticket counter.
"Three tickets for the ghost fetus scenario." Mr Wang was very straightforward. He bought the tickets and led the students into the haunted house.
"This teacher is very meticulous. He purposely brought along Heshan and another student who are familiar with the rules of the haunted house to prevent accidents." Chen Ge saw the students from Jiujiang University of Law and Medicine walk away, and then he led the other nine visitors into the haunted house. "Sign the disclaimer agreement here. I'll go outside to see if there are other visitors who are willing to come in. The cost of opening a four-star scenario is very high. We'll try to gather twenty people. "
Moments later, Chen Ge led another three visitors into the haunted house. One of them was Xiao Sun, and the other two were a couple from Xin Hai.
The couple seemed to have just gotten out of an argument. In the heat of the moment, the woman dragged the man to sign up. Chen Ge did not want them to come in, but he realized to his surprise that the man had a heavy Yin energy around him.
He suspected that he had run into a special visitor, so he did not stop them.
All fifteen visitors signed the disclaimer agreement. Chen Ge put all the agreements away and then started to explain the background of the ghost fetus scenario and the rules of the game to them.
"Most of you are in the haunted house industry, but there are some things that I need to tell you in advance." After signing the disclaimer agreement, Chen Ge's voice and expression had completely changed. He was like a completely different person compared to when he was outside the haunted house. He looked rather scary. "The ghost fetus' scenario is different from all the haunted houses that you've visited before. There will not be any life-threatening danger inside, but you will run into some very special things."
"Why is this scenario called ghost fetus?" The haunted house was dim, but the man in the sunglasses did not plan to remove his sunglasses.
"There was once a shadow. He wanted to be a human and desired happiness, but in the process of pursuing happiness, he ran into many twisted monsters, and in the end, he became the ghost fetus that everyone was afraid of. You will experience the process of the ghost fetus falling step by step into the abyss. I hope you will be able to face every choice seriously. Any choice will have a great impact on the plot. " Seeing the impatient expression, Chen Ge did not waste any more time. "The time limit is one hour. You need to find a rag doll inside the ghost fetus scenario."
Chen Ge took out the two pictures that he had taken earlier and handed them to Mr Wang and Shang Guan Qing Hong respectively. "This rag doll has been cut into many parts by the doctor. You only need to find all the broken parts within one hour and piece them back together to clear the scenario!"
"That's it?" The fashionably dressed man was confused.
"If you wish to give up, you only need to beg loudly for mercy. Other than that, I will give you another warning. Do not have any physical contact with anyone inside the haunted house, including your own teammates." Chen Ge led the fifteen visitors down the underground corridor. "Hold the pictures in your hands and keep an eye on the people around you. Do not wander off alone."
Chen Ge kept reminding the visitors. The ghost fetus scenario contained the memory of a Demon God, and he was reminding them from the bottom of his heart.
Opening the steel door that led underground, the temperature dropped instantly. A chilling wind rushed out from underground, and three of the visitors' expressions changed.
One was the man from Xin Hai. He already had a heavy Yin energy around him.
The other was a woman with a black skull tattoo on her arm. She touched her earring and opened her lips like she wanted to say something, but in the end, she did not speak.
The hot-tempered woman suddenly became much quieter.
The last person whose expression changed was Mr Wang. His brows were tightly furrowed, and his nostrils twitched like he smelled something special.
"Follow me closely."
Chen Ge led them underground. After passing the first floor, he led them to the second floor.
A black steel door appeared before them. This door was embedded deep underground, and it gave off a faded smell of disinfectant.
"Everything about the ghost fetus is behind this door." Chen Ge pushed the black steel door open. His eyes narrowed, and he looked at all the visitors coldly. "Go in. The timer starts from the moment this door closes."
Standing outside the steel door, all the visitors stopped where they were. No one took a step forward.
After a while, the man with the sunglasses removed his sunglasses. After a few dry coughs, he dragged another person through the steel door.
The other visitors also started to move in. When they all entered, Chen Ge's eyes appeared to be staring at a group of dead people. The corner of his lips curled up. "Welcome to the four-star scenario, ghost fetus. I hope you have a good time."
"Bang!"
The heavy black steel door was slammed shut. The chains scraped against the rusted railing, and the steel door was locked shut.
"I'd better go in and follow them. After all, no matter what, I am one of the nine children."
Chen Ge returned to the dressing room to touch up his make-up. Then he went to the changing room to pick out a set of clothes.
After all the preparation was done, Chen Ge wandered around the other scenarios and called over some of the employees who were free.
"There shouldn't be any problems now."
…
The black steel door slammed shut, and no one moved around. The surface of the Haunted House and the underground were two completely different worlds. Before they could recover from the shock, they were kicked from heaven straight into hell.
"This is a completely unfamiliar building. There is no information related to this scenario in the videos." Shang Guan Qing Hong's scalp was numb. He leaned against the steel door, and even the air that entered his lungs felt cold. "We've worked together to plan this for a month and spent a lot of money to hire people to collect information, but we've entered a completely unknown scenario."
Shang Guan Qing Hong did not know why, but a quote from the Apprenticeship Manual suddenly appeared in his mind — 'The previous emperor collapsed halfway through his career.'
"Cheer up. As the initiator, you cannot retreat." The man who had been making eye contact with Shang Guan Qing Hong before they entered the Haunted House whispered.
"Director Ma, you have no idea how scary the boss of this Haunted House is. That man is very evil!" Shang Guan Qing Hong lowered his voice. He did not want to affect the morale.
"I've never believed in evil; I only believe in myself." The man patted Shang Guan Qing Hong on his shoulder. His eyes were sharp like knives.
