The red dress was like blood, and it was embroidered with black godly patterns. Resentment and despair that had solidified morphed into decorations. Zhang Ya stepped on the wailing souls and walked out from Chen Ge's shadow.
The fear that surpassed the fear of a Red Specter shocked everyone. It turned out that beauty could be so soul-stirring.
Chen Xiao and Xu Meng stood blankly on the steps. The two of them were already dumbfounded.
"Demon God? The girl you mentioned is a Demon God? "
Due to his agitated emotions, Chen Ge's father's mouth was stuttering. He could guess that Chen Ge would hire a baleful Specter to work for him, and he could guess that the Haunted House was doing well, but he did not expect his son to bring a Demon God to see him.
"Yes, her name is Zhang Ya." Chen Ge very naturally held Zhang Ya's hand. Xu Meng and Chen Xiao's eyelids twitched. They were worried that Zhang Ya might kill Chen Ge out of anger.
The old couple had just woken up from their coma, and when they returned to the Haunted House, they were shocked. They even started to suspect that they had fallen into an illusion set up by the headmaster.
But thinking about it, even the cursed hospital would not dare set up such an illusion.
"Other than his good personality, does he have any other good points?" Xu Meng subconsciously asked Zhang Ya. She had watched her son grow up. She knew that her son was good, but that was only when compared to others.
Facing the question from Chen Ge's mother, Zhang Ya was as silent as usual. She even moved to stand behind Chen Ge.
Anyone with eyes could see that this Demon God was very reliant on Chen Ge.
"We have been through too many things. How about we visit the Haunted House first and then find some time to talk?"
"We can visit the Haunted House anytime, but let's talk about Zhang Ya first." Chen Xiao and Xu Meng said at the same time. Their son was about to start a relationship with a Demon God, so why would they visit a Haunted House?
"Aren't you tired? It's almost midnight. "Chen Ge had a bitter smile on his face. He did not expect his parents to react so strongly.
"After sleeping for a whole year, we are very energetic now."
"Alright, I'll go find a restaurant and have a good gathering." Chen Ge called up all of his employees and switched on his phone. He chose a high-class hotel in Jiujiang that even had a banquet hall.
Haunted house had so many employees that Yan Danian's comic could not fit in all of them. Many lingering spirits and baleful Specters had to disguise themselves as Chen Ge's shadows.
Carrying his backpack, Chen Ge stood in the middle of the road. The whole street seemed eerie and creepy. The phrase "a hundred ghosts walking at night" was not enough to describe the eeriness and horror.
Without taking a taxi, Chen Ge had Tang Jun drive the bus on Route 104. With countless employees following behind them, they arrived at the hotel that he had been lucky enough to choose.
It was already midnight, and the hotel was already closed.
Chen Ge first got Zhang Yi to alter the security guard's memory. Then, he got Qiumei and Tong Tong to enter the surveillance center to temporarily disable all the surveillance.
After doing all that, he flipped through the comic, and the employees walked out one by one.
The employees who were good at cooking volunteered to go into the kitchen, and the students were very excited. They loved going on "field trips."
Chen Xiao and Xu Meng found it unbelievable when they saw the employees working together and busying themselves in the hotel.
Baleful Specters existed because of their lingering spirits and were entangled by resentment and hatred. They did not expect that baleful Specters could get along with Chen Ge like this.
"We'll book the whole place tonight. When we leave in the morning, I'll pay." Chen Ge showed them the balance on his phone. "I'm not interested in money. These numbers are just free gifts for the expansion of the haunted house."
Before Chen Ge could finish, Father Chen knocked him on the head. "You can give it to me if you're not interested. I haven't seen so much money since I got married."
The family of three joked as they entered the hotel. They went to a private room on the top floor, where they could see the entire night view of Jiujiang.
The employees started to serve the dishes, and Chen Ge summoned Zhang Ya.
At first, Father Chen and Madam Chen were still worried about Chen Ge and Zhang Ya, and kept asking them about their plans for the future, wanting to know how they were going to live in the future.
But when Chen Ge told them about Zhang Ya's past experiences and all the things that had happened between them, Father Chen and Madam Chen's attitudes changed drastically.
Xu Meng, in particular, sat directly next to Zhang Ya, as if Zhang Ya was her own daughter. She grabbed Zhang Ya's hand with heartache and said something to Zhang Ya.
Xu Meng and Chen Xiao were both very good people. They had taken in Luo Ruoyu's soul a long time ago, and at that time, Chen Ge had felt that they treated Luo Ruoyu better than they had treated themselves.
This scene seemed to be happening again. Xu Meng stopped asking about Zhang Ya's past, and instead started to ask Chen Ge about it. She hoped that Chen Ge would understand that dating was different from being together for the rest of his life.
She wanted Chen Ge to think clearly and be truly prepared. She didn't want to see either of them get hurt.
The banquet went on for a long time. The employees couldn't drink, but they all seemed a little drunk.
They talked and laughed freely, and a simple sense of beauty was planted in their hearts.
In the past, they had been tortured and imprisoned by their past memories, but because they had met Chen Ge, they could now talk about the future freely.
The night would eventually pass, and when dawn was about to break, the employees would return to normal.
Chen Ge compared the things that he had used. He withdrew money from the bank and placed it on the counter. He also left behind a note. Of course, the words were written by his employees.
Walking out of the restaurant, Chen Ge's parents grabbed their backpacks and left early. They wanted to give Zhang Ya and Chen Ge some time.
The elderly couple were experienced people. They knew that after meeting their parents, Chen Ge and Zhang Ya might have something to say, so they did not disturb them.
Their black hair fluttered in the night wind. Chen Ge and Zhang Ya walked down the empty road.
This scene felt familiar, like they had experienced it in their dreams.
The memories of the past rushed into their hearts. The two leaned against each other and walked through the night to welcome the morning.
"Tomorrow, we'll go to the civil hall to ask. It's time to let go of the past and start a new life."
The sun rose as usual, and the sunlight chased away the night.
New Century Park opened at 9 am, and there was a long queue before the Haunted House.
"Senior, you're still injured. How about we skip the tour today?" Heshan was trying to think of a way to escape, but Zuo Han had his eyes on him.
"Today is the opening of the new scenario. Even if we don't visit it, we should at least enjoy the show." Zuo Han glanced at the group behind him and frowned. "Where's Gao Ru Xue? Is she still not here? "
"Yes, senior said that she's not feeling well."
"We'll go visit her together someday." Zuo Han wanted to say something else, but the crowd suddenly became noisy.
"F * ck! The new scenario is open! It's a four-star scenario! "
"The cursed hospital! The nineteenth layer of hell! "
"Quick! Who has Brother Gang as a friend? Hurry up and challenge him! "
"Brother Gang is still in the hospital. Please do not consume the deceased streamer."
When the sign at the entrance of the Haunted House changed, the visitors were instantly excited, but no one dared to challenge the Haunted House.
"A bunch of cowards." Moments later, a balding man walked out from the crowd. He walked directly to stand beside Xu Shu. "Are the tickets for the four-star scenario different from the tickets for other scenarios?"
"Yes, the tickets for the four-star scenario are black and red." Xu Shu was about the same age as the balding man. "But I don't recommend you visit the four-star scenario."
"That's fine. Just give me a ticket to the cursed hospital." The balding man was determined, and the surrounding visitors all turned to look at him.
"Are you sure?" Xu Shu double-checked. After he felt that the balding man was not mentally ill, he gave him a ticket.
After getting the ticket to the cursed hospital, the balding man took out his phone and stood at the entrance of the Haunted House. He took a selfie with the ticket and then posted it on his WeChat Moments.
"Spring is the best time of the year, and it's the perfect time to go out and play. I strongly recommend Haunted House to promote the four-star scenario. After my visit today, I was covered in cold sweat …"
After taking the selfie, he looked at the comments on his WeChat Moments with a smile and walked away.
"Has this uncle been here before? He looks familiar to me."
"I remember now. When the Haunted House was first opened, he came to take a picture."
The visitors did not dare enter the cursed hospital, but many of them bought the ticket and posted it on their WeChat Moments.
Now that Chen Ge's Haunted House was famous, the number of 'warriors' who dared challenge the new scenario had decreased. No one was stupid.
After all, other Haunted Houses usually had a souvenir shop, but of the two huts at the entrance of the Haunted House, one was equipped with a full set of medical equipment and a doctor on call twenty-four hours a day; the other hut sold underwear. According to rumors, due to the high demand, the park had no choice but to open a small underwear shop next to the Haunted House.
With that kind of setup, who would dare explore a new scenario?
After waiting for a long time, there were still no visitors who wanted to challenge the new scenario. In the end, Chen Ge left the Haunted House. Accompanying him was a middle-aged woman. She was Gao Ru Xue's mother.
Chen Ge personally sent the woman to Gao Ru Xue's home. He did not choose to lie or hide the truth but told Gao Ru Xue the truth.
Seeing the mother and daughter reunited, he silently walked out of the room.
It was drizzling outside, but Chen Ge did not mind it. He ran to Jiujiang's Children's Home to complete the adoption procedures for Fan Yu and Ying Tong.
Initially, he wanted to adopt the other children as well, but the procedure did not allow him to do so. The reason he was able to adopt Fan Yu and Ying Tong was because the Children's Home had considered the two children's unique circumstances.
Bringing Fan Yu and Ying Tong back to the Haunted House was something that Chen Ge had planned for a long time. In the future, Chen Ge wanted them to inherit his Haunted House and become the new owners of the City of Nightmares.
After dealing with all that, Chen Ge took some documents and ran to the civil hall.
The rain outside was getting heavier. When Chen Ge arrived, there was only one worker in the room.
The worker said that she could not help Chen Ge, but she did not reject him completely. Instead, she decided to help Chen Ge think of a solution.
After knowing the result, Chen Ge was quite disappointed, even though he had already expected this.
Humans and ghosts were separated by life and death. It was very difficult for them to touch each other.
At 6 pm, the theme park closed for the day. Chen Ge locked himself in the staff breakroom. He was writing down his future plans.
After who knew how long, a big white cat carrying a doll jumped onto the table.
There was a knock on the door. Chen Ge's parents stood at the door. "Chen Ge, the workers have prepared something for you. Come out and take a look."
"The workers prepared something for me?" Chen Ge put down the pen that he was holding and walked out from the breakroom. The Haunted House was unusually quiet that day, like there was not a single ghost in sight.
"Is it outside?" Pulling back the thick curtain, colorful lights weaved together like a dream, lighting up the night sky.
New Century Park, which was normally quiet at night, was ablaze with lights that day. The workers had found many things to turn this place into a fairytale world.
"What are they doing …"
Before Chen Ge finished, Lao Zhou walked over. He handed Chen Ge an exquisite box. "Everyone pooled their money to buy this. This is as far as we can help you."
Exiting the Haunted House, Chen Ge was led to the Ferris wheel by the workers. This was the center of the theme park.
Holding the beautiful box, Chen Ge did not know what to do. He looked around. His parents and the workers were all looking at him with anticipation and encouragement.
The Ferris wheel behind him turned slowly, and the light chased away the darkness and chill. Chen Ge took a deep breath. He picked up the box with one hand and said softly, "Zhang Ya."
The beautiful shadow appeared behind Chen Ge. Just like normal, she stayed by Chen Ge's side.
Turning around, Chen Ge looked at Zhang Ya.
With everyone watching, he opened the box. "For the rest of our lives, we will be inseparable. This is my promise to you."
Putting the ring on Zhang Ya's finger, Chen Ge used the softest voice to ask, "Will you marry me?"
Zhang Ya did not expect Chen Ge to say something like that. The blood in her eyes disappeared, and the murderous heart beat heavily.
After a long time, Zhang Ya leaned against Chen Ge. She looked into Chen Ge's eyes, and her lips moved.
"I will."
Raising his arms, Chen Ge hugged Zhang Ya lightly. "In the future, I will always be by your side. I will not let you be lonely or sad anymore."
Inside the brightly lit theme park, under the slowly turning Ferris wheel, Chen Ge and Zhang Ya hugged each other. It was as if they were embracing all the beauty in the world.
The employees, who did not even dare breathe, saw this and erupted in cheers. They were overjoyed from the bottom of their hearts.
That night, New Century Park was brightly lit. The employees were partying through the night. Many residents who lived near the park and the cars that passed by saw this scene.
From that day onward, another very scary ghost story started to spread in Jiujiang.
After midnight, at a theme park in Western Jiujiang, the various entertainment equipment would move on their own, and the cheers of many visitors could be heard.
According to insiders, the cause of this ghost story might be related to a Haunted house at the theme park.
Some said it was heaven on earth, others said it was the nineteenth level of hell, and some said it was the connection between nightmare and reality. It symbolized the deepest despair but also the eternal salvation.
