Tomorrow, the theme park would start a large-scale promotion for his Haunted House, and this was a rare opportunity for Chen Ge.
Director Luo had placed all his hope on him, and he naturally did not want to disappoint him.
After the expansion of the Haunted House is completed tonight, Western Jiujiang's Private Academy should be unlocked. A new two-star scenario will be helpful for my plan tomorrow.
After the second expansion, Chen Ge had the possibility of obtaining a special building, and that was something he looked forward to.
The Midnight Ticket Office can help me attract special visitors, I wonder what kind of function the new building will have.
After lunch, he returned to business. At 3 pm, the recorder that Chen Ge had ordered online finally arrived. This way, he could summon Xu Yin to help him at any time.
It feels weird to carry a recorder on a mission, but at least it's better than carrying a tape recorder.
The Haunted House closed at 6: 30 pm. There were too many visitors, and Chen Ge's closing time was getting later and later.
Seeing the sky darkening, Chen Ge gave up on the idea of going to Linjiang New Schistosomiasis Control Station. That place was far from Western Jiujiang's Haunted House, and since he could not confirm No. 10's identity, he did not want to act rashly.
After cleaning up, Chen Ge entered the underground scenario.
Tian Teng Medical School's Haunted House is very interactive, and that is something that my Haunted House can improve. If I add some mystery solving elements, the visitors will like it even more.
Chen Ge busied himself inside the Haunted House. He checked all the scare points and only left at 10 pm.
Xu Wan will be responsible for the Minghun scenario, and I'll be responsible for Mu Yang High School and the Third Sick Hall. I still need someone to act as the murderer for Murder by Midnight. There were not many people that Chen Ge could trust completely. Xu Shu was too old, and his personality was not that of a murderer, so in comparison, Gu Feiyu was more suitable.
The kid doesn't have much experience, but with the help of Xiaoxiao's family in Murder by Midnight, it shouldn't be that bad. Chen Ge was worried that Gu Feiyu might be scared by Xiaoxiao's family as well.
"There are too few outstanding employees. I'm more comfortable using ghosts."
Returning to the staff breakroom, he looked through the information on his phone. The pictures that Captain Yan had sent him made him feel uneasy.
The Society of Strange Tales has their eyes on me. If they sneak into the crowd of visitors and cause trouble at the most crucial moment, Director Luo and my plan will be ruined. I should deal with them as soon as possible.
The mental patients at the Third Sick Hall could do anything. There were so many visitors, and it was impossible for Chen Ge to identify them one by one.
The only way to prevent this from happening was to bring those lunatics to justice in advance.
"Number 12 is a podcast host for the Nonsense segment, and Number 5 is the program director for Midnight Radio. Should we start with the two of them?" Chen Ge used his phone to search for the Ghost Talk Radio Station. There was a message on the homepage that caught his attention.
Usually, Ghost Story would be broadcasted at midnight, but today, it was broadcasted an hour earlier. The reason given by the program team was that Lychee had taken leave the previous day, so they wanted to give the listeners an extra hour.
"That's a good reason."
Initially, Chen Ge did not think much of it, but when he saw the trailer, he realized that something was wrong. The first five stories that Lychee was going to tell that night were all related to taxis.
"Today's the taxi special?" Chen Ge calculated the time. The taxi-related stories were all set before midnight, and it felt like it was purposely arranged.
Turning on the radio, Chen Ge lay in bed to rest.
At 10: 55 am, the woman's beautiful voice came from the radio.
"We met at night and parted before dawn. We parted at this moment and reunited the next."
"Hello, everyone, I'm Midnight's podcast host, Lychee."
The woman's voice was beautiful. She did not try to show off; just the way she spoke made the listeners feel comfortable.
"Born with a beautiful voice, such a shame." Chen Ge leaned on his arm and continued to listen.
"Jiujiang has a long history, and the old city still has many old buildings. One of them is called Huai Hua Alley, but it's famous not because of its history but because of a few strange things that have happened there.
"It's called Huai Hua Alley, but there isn't a single Huai Hua tree in the alley. The older generation of Jiujiang can't explain why they gave it such a name."
The woman's story continued. Her style was hard to imitate.
The beginning was simple like she was weaving a net, and the listeners would be dragged into it without knowing it. Then, the net would tighten and all the scare points would explode.
Lychee's first story happened at Huai Hua Alley. A driver picked up a customer near Huai Hua Alley in the middle of the night. The customer said that she had left something somewhere and wanted the driver to take her back.
After giving a rough location, the driver drove the customer into the car, but the customer was very weird. She changed the location several times and said that the thing was not there.
Just as the driver's patience was about to run out, the customer gave the last location — the bus stop next to the crematorium.
The story had a weird ending. The customer finally found the thing that she had lost there. It crawled into the driver's body and drove away, and the driver took her place and was locked inside the missing urn.
"The story is not bad. The main thing is that Lychee told it like it was real." After listening to that, Chen Ge suddenly realized a problem. Could Lychee's story be real?
The taxi driver's story happened in Jiujiang, and Huai Hua Alley did exist.
Could she have heard her story from other members of the Society of Strange Tales?
Lychee started her second story. It also happened at Huai Hua Alley, and the main character was also the driver.
Something's not right.
Chen Ge had talked to Captain Yan on the phone before, and the latter had given him a piece of information. Most of the cases related to the Society of Strange Tales happened on Wednesdays. That day seemed to have a special meaning for them.
Today's ghost story started one hour earlier. Before midnight, it's still considered a Wednesday. Are they planning to make their move today?
After listening to Lychee's second story, Chen Ge felt even more suspicious. In her stories, the ghosts were reborn, and the innocent people were sacrificed.
Huai Hua Alley, taxi driver …
Chen Ge thought about it and put on his jacket. A human life is at stake. I should go take a look. Perhaps I'll find something unexpected.
He placed the recorder, tape, and ballpoint pen into his backpack and rushed out of the staff breakroom.
