Chen Ge did not expect everything to go so smoothly. Before this, he had been eyeing the haunted house in Xin Hai, but even though Shang Guan Qing Hong was scared to the point of being hospitalized, he still did not plan to sell his haunted house. He seemed to know that the plot of land was rather unique.
But happiness came so suddenly. Chen Ge had no idea why Shang Guan Qing Hong had suddenly accepted it.
"Perhaps he has realized the gap between him and my haunted house. If there's a chance, I should go visit him at the hospital."
Holding the contract, Chen Ge walked out from Director Luo's office. By then, the theme park was about to close for the day.
There were still many visitors lining up in front of the Haunted House. Many people had come from afar to visit the Haunted House, so they kept lining up to experience as many scenarios as possible.
There were many internet celebrities and self-media workers. Chen Ge's Haunted House had provided them with a lot of material, and of course, they had contributed to the popularity of the haunted house.
Other haunted houses would not allow people to enter the haunted house to film, but Chen Ge's haunted house was a bit more unique.
Returning to the staff breakroom, Chen Ge put the contract away.
Director Luo told him to go to Xin Hai as soon as possible and to let him know if there was anything he needed, but Chen Ge was not ready to go to Xin Hai yet.
Jiujiang was the place where he grew up. He had a very special feeling toward this piece of land. Even though there were many ghost stories in this city, whenever he stepped on this piece of land, he would feel strangely at ease. It was as if there was a mysterious force that was protecting him.
Xin Hai was a relatively unfamiliar city for Chen Ge. The cursed hospital might have already set up a trap, and they were just waiting for him to come knocking on their door.
"Before I go to Xin Hai, I have to be fully prepared. Not only do I have to bring my Red Specter employees, I have to inform Captain Yan to have his colleagues in Xin Hai pay attention." Chen Ge had met with the police in Xin Hai before. When he first went to Xin Hai, he had been taken away by the police because he had jumped out the window from the second floor of the haunted house, and that had given him a taste of the police cars in Xin Hai.
"The police and the citizens are one family. The reason I am going to Xin Hai is because I want to do my part to maintain the security of Xin Hai. I believe the Xin Hai police will be able to understand me."
Lying on the bed, Chen Ge took out the comic and the black phone. He looked through all his employees' information and memorized their abilities.
"There are still many things that I need to do. Furthermore, I am not the one who should be panicking now. The cursed hospital has mysteriously lost a Demon God, so they will definitely continue to send people to Jiujiang to investigate. I only need to deal with the people that they have sent to Jiujiang, and that will continuously weaken their power."
After the ghost fetus' soul was destroyed, the pressure on Chen Ge was greatly reduced. In fact, one could even say that he was slowly gaining control of the situation.
Xiao Sun was brought to the underground morgue by Lao Zhou for special training. Other than honing his acting skills, Xiao Sun also had to study psychology, basic medicine, and neurology.
The other employees were also busy with their own things, preparing for the final mission.
At around 9 pm, Chen Ge carried his backpack and walked out of the Haunted House. He brought a few Red Specters with him. He planned to help Zhang Wenyu complete the dead man's dying wish and see if he could make any new friends.
After running around for a whole night, Chen Ge had helped Zhang Wenyu with a few more tasks. Now Zhang Wenyu had a lot of trust in him. He believed that Chen Ge was one of those rare people in the world.
Actually, other than Chen Ge himself, many of his employees had already realized that Chen Ge was actually a very charismatic person. He could bring courage and strength to those who were in despair, and he had an outstanding ability of empathy. He could understand other people's pain and listen to other people's past.
"Is it because I have attracted too much attention by bringing so many Red Specters with me? How come I haven't run into any lingering spirits in one night? " After giving it some thought, Chen Ge felt like he should change his way of thinking. "This city is too big. Blindly searching for baleful Specters is like searching for a needle in a haystack. I need to find a more effective method."
Then, Chen Ge took out the black phone and clicked open a page. A strange black wheel appeared on the screen.
"I am now a Red Specter's Favored. If I draw ten more baleful Specters, my title will level up again."
When the title leveled up, Chen Ge would gain more Specters' Favor and their affection, but correspondingly, he would suffer more tragedy and misfortune.
"If the title level up again, I wonder if I can handle it. Speaking of which, are there only baleful Specters in this wheel? F * ck! There are so many good things written on it, but the probability of me drawing a baleful Specter is so low. Am I Sun Xiaojun's long-lost big brother? "
The sky outside the window was starting to brighten. Chen Ge put the black phone away. "I'll take a nap. After helping the employees with their make-up, I'll go to the futuristic theme park. Their theme park is quite nice; it'll be perfect for the lucky draw."
New Century Park opened for business at 9 am. After using the trolleys to push more than ten visitors out the previous day, there was no one who came looking for trouble today. Even the number of paid posters on the Haunted House app had decreased.
"Xu Shu, I have something to do. I'll leave this place to you."
Chen Ge carried his backpack and hailed a taxi to the futuristic theme park.
He bought the ticket online. When he swiped his ID, all the machines at the self-service counter lit up with red lights.
Moments later, three workers from the futuristic theme park ran over. They followed him the whole time. Those who did not know might have thought that they were some important person who had come to 'visit'.
"I'll feel very uncomfortable if you guys act like this." Chen Ge carried his backpack and was guarded by the three workers. "I'm just a normal visitor now. Relax."
Originally, Chen Ge just wanted to try his luck at the lucky draw, but he felt quite embarrassed to be surrounded by so many people.
"Mr. Chen, we don't want to do this, but …" One of the younger workers was about to say something when he was interrupted by an older worker.
The three of them did not say anything and just followed behind Chen Ge.
"If you want to follow me, then follow me." Chen Ge wandered to the futuristic theme park's Haunted House. He realized that on the haunted house ranking, the second place would catch up to him in another five thousand points. A sense of danger rose in his heart. "Since I'm already here, I might as well go in and play. The ticket is so expensive. I shouldn't waste it."
Chen Ge walked to the control panel and randomly clicked on the machine. He was not picky. He selected all the scenarios one by one and then selected a hellish mode.
The futuristic theme park seemed to be doing this to prevent Chen Ge. Now, the machine could no longer mix fifty scenarios at once. The computer would automatically select ten scenarios from all the scenarios for the visitors to visit.
With the workers looking at him warily, Chen Ge entered the futuristic theme park's Haunted House. A solo tour, that was Chen Ge's trump card.
Listening to the strange music, Chen Ge felt like he had returned to his own backyard. His expression was relaxed, and he had the vibe of a young, artistic man inside the Haunted House.
After easily clearing two scenarios, Chen Ge found a blind spot that the cameras could not see. He silently took out the black phone, swiped the screen, and clicked open a page.
"Without realizing it, I've already accumulated so many Scare Points. Should I go for ten straight? Ever since I obtained the black phone, I haven't experienced something like this.
"Zhang Ya shouldn't be asleep, and I'm inside someone else's Haunted House. Most importantly, their boss just came to my Haunted House to wreak havoc, so it's not too much for me to go to his Haunted House and draw ten straight, right?"
Chen Ge slowly convinced himself. Actually, he knew in his heart that the lucky draw process was safe. At least, there had been no accidents during his previous lucky draws.
Looking at the wheel on the phone, Chen Ge took a deep breath. "I refuse to believe that ten Specters will appear in one go."
Gritting his teeth, Chen Ge chose to spin the wheel ten times.
Looking at the spinning wheel, Chen Ge's heart rose to his throat.
The black wheel was slowly dyed red, and this was something that had not happened before.
With Chen Ge as the center, the temperature in the room started to drop. Blood red patterns started to appear on the black phone's casing, but they disappeared as quickly as they appeared.
There were ghost faces flashing on the screen, and the various signs gave Chen Ge a very bad feeling.
The spinning wheel slowly stopped, and the black phone kept vibrating. It had received ten messages!
"Congratulations, Red Specter's Favored! Congratulations for obtaining a special type of Specter — Shi Guo!
"Shi Guo (Rare Special Specter, Draw Rate 1%): A lonely soul that wanders the subway's fourth line. It has traveled through time, gone through yesterday, lingering between minutes and seconds. It is a ghost that has been forgotten by time.
"Congratulations, Red Specter's Favored! Congratulations for obtaining a baleful Specter — Toilet Ghost.
"Toilet Ghost (Draw Rate 5%): Looks like a good-for-nothing. He has nothing special or unique about him. He likes to stay alone in the bathroom. He looks like an old man who has lost interest in marriage and life.
"Congratulations, Red Specter's Favored! Congratulations for obtaining a special item — Butterfly Hairpin!
"Butterfly Hairpin (Special Baleful Specter Autumn Butterfly's possession, Draw Rate 3%): The first present that you gave me. I have always worn it on my head. Hopefully, one day, you will be able to see me in the crowd and the butterfly hairpin that you gave me."
…
"Congratulations, Red Specter's Favored! Congratulations for obtaining a special type of Red Specter — Xue Rong!
"Xue Rong (Special Red Specter, Draw Rate 7%): I once created hundreds of beautiful faces, but one day, I realized I could no longer see beauty.
"Warning! Red Specter Xue Rong is extremely dangerous and sensitive! Please head to the new district's Yi Ren Pavilion beauty salon after midnight!
"Congratulations, Red Specter's Favored! Congratulations for obtaining a special item — Bai Qiulin's broken arm.
"Bai Qiulin's broken arm (Condensation of Resentment): The lost broken arm was secretly taken away by a gambler to be used by the casino owner to collect debts."
The temperature in the room was close to zero. Every message on the black phone was related to a baleful Specter, and the resentment was almost leaking out from the phone.
"Ten draws, nine baleful Specters in one go." Chen Ge wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead. Even he was shocked.
Other than Bai Qiulin's broken arm, the other nine were all baleful Specters, and one of them was a Red Specter.
The black phone recorded the Specters' abilities and the key points to pay attention to. These Specters were scattered all over Jiujiang, and Chen Ge needed to personally 'bring them home'.
"Ten draws and only one Red Specter. Looks like the chance of drawing a Red Specter is still very low. I was really lucky to have drawn Zhang Ya back then."
Chen Ge had no idea whether his luck was good or bad.
The temperature inside the haunted house slowly rose. Chen Ge cleared a few more scenarios like he had just finished his high school exam to ease his nervous heart.
"I only need to draw one more baleful Specter, and the title of Red Specter's Favored will level up. The problem is, I still have enough Terror Points to draw many more times." Chen Ge was very conflicted. His rationality told him to stop, but his heart itched as he looked at the wheel on the phone.
"My parents' disappearance is probably related to the cursed hospital. In other words, they are the creator of all the tragedies. Facing such a powerful opponent, I have to give it my all. "
Chen Ge found another blind spot. "It's rare that I come to visit the futuristic theme park. Why don't I use up all the Terror Points I have inside their haunted house?"
If he drew one more baleful Specter, his title would level up. Chen Ge had thought things through. After all, danger was coming. Since it was unavoidable, he might as well make the storm come harder.
Sliding the screen, Chen Ge drew ten more times!
"Congratulations, Red Specter's Favored! Congratulations for obtaining a special item — Xu Yin's Music Score.
"Xu Yin's Music Score: He was once innocent and happy. He once believed in beauty and sunshine. He turned all his love into a song and sang it to the girl who killed him.
"Congratulations, Red Specter's Favored! Congratulations for obtaining a special item — Incomplete Birth Certificate.
"Incomplete Birth Certificate: Men Nan was born in a mental hospital. The world that is twisted in the eyes of normal people is the world that he grew up in. This birth certificate has his mother's signature, and it is the last memory that he has."
"Congratulations, Red Specter's Favored! Congratulations for obtaining a special item — White Valentine's Candy.
"White Valentine's Candy: She personally made these candies for you. You have to eat every single one of them.
"Congratulations, Red Specter's Favored! Congratulations for obtaining a special item — Blue Raincoat.
"Blue Raincoat: She bought a blue raincoat with cartoon characters for her child. The child in the raincoat looked like a cute little penguin. That night, there was a storm in Li Wan City. She held her child's hand as they waited for the bus at the bus stop, but when the bus for Route 104 arrived, her child disappeared.
"No one knows where her child has gone. Perhaps this blue raincoat will provide some clues."
…
After the second ten, Chen Ge was stunned. "I didn't get a baleful Specter? This is illogical. Could it be that I've sucked all the Specters out of the prize pool? "
In terms of probability, a baleful Specter was indeed a rare item. Even a normal Specter was hard to come by, much less a Red Specter.
"Isn't this torture? I've already prepared for the title upgrade, but the last baleful Specter still hasn't appeared? "
Chen Ge thought about it rationally for half a minute before making a very irrational decision. "Should I try another ten?"
His finger slid across the screen out of habit, and the strange wheel on the black phone started to spin.
