After the woman said that, Chen Ge could see goosebumps rise on the back of the actor's neck.
He had merely imitated the handwriting on the paper and filled in a few random words, but he did not expect the actor to react so violently.
Narrowing his eyes, Chen Ge stood between the recorder and the Haunted House actors. He had a feeling that there was indeed something wrong with this Haunted House. There was a high chance that this place was really haunted.
Xin Hai was a first-tier city. Tian Teng Medical School had spent a lot of effort to build the scenario there, but they had left in a hurry after opening for a while. When they reopened, they had gone to Jiujiang City, which was very far away from Xin Hai.
"If the name Xu Zhenzhen can really summon ghosts, why would they still insist on using the name at the Haunted House?" Chen Ge did not understand what the person in charge of Tian Teng Medical School was thinking. Does he think he can escape from the Specters by moving to a different location? Or does this Xu Zhenzhen mean something to the proprietor?
The lighting in the Haunted House was dim, and the actor took the paper to study it. "The handwriting is still wet."
He turned to look at Chen Ge, but he soon moved his gaze away and started to talk to himself. "Today, there is only one visitor. Even if he brought a pen into the Haunted House to write this sentence, how do we explain the voice in the recorder? This scenario is new, and other than the design team, no one knows about the recorder. No matter how weird a visitor is, they wouldn't carry a tape around with them! "
While the actor was thinking, another scream came from the recorder.
The pain was completely different from the one recorded by the voice actor. Standing several meters away, one's hair stood on end, and one's teeth chattered like a murder was happening right beside them.
"Brother Lin …" The actress nudged toward the door. "How come the voice in the recorder sounds so real?"
"I'm not too sure myself." The dead actor turned back to look and realized that Chen Ge was still standing next to the recorder.
He hesitated and ignored Chen Ge. Instead, he rushed to the woman's side and whispered, "Other than this piece of paper, did anything else appear in your scenario?"
"No."
"What about the people in the earlier scenarios?"
"It should be here soon." The woman's eyes twitched nervously. "That thing won't appear again, right? It's only the first day of business. Didn't the boss say that everything was settled? "
"What are you guys talking about? What has happened here in the past? "Chen Ge picked up the recorder. He planned to convince the workers to bring the recorder out with them.
Seeing Chen Ge walk over with the tape recorder, the expressions of the two workers froze.
"Put that thing down!" The female actor's voice was shrill. "The voice in the recorder was not recorded by us!"
Of course, Chen Ge knew that the voice was not recorded by them, but he could not show that. "This is your Haunted House. If the voice in the recorder is not recorded by you, could it be recorded by a ghost?"
The worker was rendered speechless. Moments later, it was the woman who stepped forward. Ignoring the male actor who tried to stop her, she said in one breath, "When we were in Xin Hai, there was once a visitor who was scared to tears. After he came out, he told us that one of the actors was very good at acting, but in reality, our Haunted House does not even have that actor! We asked the visitor about the actor's appearance and realized that the person described by the visitor was the same as the Xu Zhenzhen in the newspaper! "
Chen Ge's expression was weird. "Is that visitor trying to prank you? He's just joking. "
"It was not just one case. Starting from one day, more and more visitors saw Xu Zhenzhen." The male actor pulled out the jade Buddha around his neck. "All of us have something to ward off evil spirits, but strangely enough, none of us have seen Xu Zhenzhen."
"Since there is a possibility of this being haunted, why would you write Xu Zhenzhen's name all over the Haunted House after you moved to Jiujiang? Aren't you afraid of bringing the ghost to Jiujiang? "Chen Ge felt like there was something wrong with this group of people." You're not acting, are you? The note, the recording, they're all your doing to scare me. "
"Of course not." The two actors felt so wronged that they wanted to cry. "First, you have to understand one thing. Since our first stop is Xin Hai, to attract more visitors, we tried to combine real events to increase the sense of horror. Xu Zhenzhen's mysterious suicide is very famous in Xin Hai. Whenever the name is mentioned, it will evoke the memory buried deep in the local visitors' hearts. "
The male actor's face was pale. "We were forced to do this. Over the past two years, the number of visitors has decreased, and the scenarios have changed many times. We've tried everything that we could think of and do. Seeing the number of visitors dwindling, we have to find a way to maintain the popularity. "
"So, you moved a real death incident into the Haunted House without any qualms and turned it into a dark thread?" Chen Ge felt like this group of people was braver than he was. At least he had a trump card to deal with them.
"Reality has proven that after combining the real death with the real death, the good reviews kept increasing. Many visitors came with their friends to solve the mystery of Xu Zhenzhen's death."
"If you're so popular, why did you come to Jiujiang? Why didn't you just stay in Xin Hai and earn money? " The recorder in Chen Ge's hands kept making heart-wrenching noises, but the man did not seem to hear it.
The two actors looked at Chen Ge and did not know what to say. With every step Chen Ge took, the two of them took a step back.
"Many visitors saw Xu Zhenzhen inside the Haunted House, and this accident made our Haunted House the most popular Haunted House in the circle. However, the good times did not last. Due to our fame, we attracted the dissatisfaction of Xu Zhenzhen's family, and her sister came to find us. "
The female actor revealed the secret of Tian Teng Medical School. When Chen Ge was listening, he turned off the recorder.
"The two parties came to an agreement. Xu Zhenzhen's sister felt that we had violated her sister's and father's reputation. She demanded a high compensation and a change to the design of the Haunted House.
"Our boss only agreed to remove Xu Zhenzhen's name. Compensation and changing the design were impossible.
"In her anger, Xu Zhenzhen's sister wanted to solve the problem through legal means. I don't know what happened next, but the Haunted House closed not long after that."
The woman was probably not lying. A large moving Haunted House was very troublesome to get approval. If there was an accident, the Haunted House could easily be shut down. Chen Ge knew that because his parents had been a moving Haunted House when they were young. It was not until they had accumulated enough fame that they moved to New Century Park and started to cooperate with the park.
"We packed up the props, changed the layout, and changed the name to another city, but the effect was not good. We only lasted for two weeks before the visitors stopped.
"After the boss discussed with us, we decided that the problem was still Xu Zhenzhen, so we moved to Jiujiang, which was very far from Xin Hai, and reconstructed the Haunted House at its peak.
