Holding the heavy Doctor Skull Cracker's Hammer, Gu Feiyu stared blankly at the blood stain on the hammer's head. He could smell the thick scent of blood.
"Are all the props at your Haunted House so realistic?"
"This is our Haunted House. Stop wasting time and put it on." The theme park opened at 9 pm, so there was not much time left for Chen Ge.
After putting on the Doctor Skull-cracker outfit, Gu Feiyu looked at the monster in the mirror, and he could not believe it was himself.
"Not bad, I can feel it now." Chen Ge nodded with satisfaction. Gu Feiyu was about the same size as him, but he was not used to many of his movements, so he appeared sluggish. "The mask is stuck to your face. If you want to change the expression on the mask, you can do it by adjusting the muscles on your face."
Gu Feiyu tried to force a smile. It not only did not look scary, it looked like it was asking for a beating.
"The character you're playing is a murderer, a madman. Let me see that kind of madness!" Chen Ge made many different expressions. He had met many madmen in his life, and in just a few seconds, he had changed into many different styles. "You need to find your own niche first. There are many types of murderers."
"The most difficult type is the cold and silent type. If you play this type of murderer well, you have to be absolutely calm. No matter what, you can't panic, just like a killing machine that only knows how to kill."
"The beastly type is one level higher than the silent and cold type. You need to make the visitors feel like they're in danger, like they're your prey. They can only struggle, but they can't escape.
"Even more difficult would be the crazy and sick type. This type of murderer is the best at bringing fear and screaming to the tourists, but the requirements for performance are very high. From the expression to the gaze, it has to be soaked in madness, like an uncontrollable fire, burning wantonly to destroy everything."
Chen Ge had seen all kinds of murderers, and he had practical experience that other Haunted House workers did not have.
Gu Feiyu was confused, and all he could do was nod.
"You've just started, so I can't ask too much of you." Chen Ge found Xiaoxiao and led the dressed Gu Feiyu to the Murder by Midnight scenario on the third floor. "I've familiarized you with the whole scenario yesterday. Have you memorized the paths?"
Thinking about how he had been thrown into the scenario again and again yesterday, Gu Feiyu's eyes were filled with tears. "Not yet, I was so scared yesterday that I couldn't remember the way."
"A qualified worker has to memorize all the paths in the scenario. You have to create a feeling that you're not human. You're not a human. You're a haunting ghost, a murderous demon that can appear at any time!
Chen Ge strode into the scenario, and Gu Feiyu followed behind him, holding the hammer with both hands.
"I'll bring you to see all the hidden tunnels in the scenario. You have to memorize them." "Actually, there's another important reason to be familiar with the corridors. If an accident happens to the visitors, you have to rush over to help them. Here, we are both demons and angels."
"I'm afraid I can't do it." Gu Feiyu was wearing the scary human skin mask, but he sounded like he was about to cry. "I still don't think I can do this job." Gu Feiyu was wearing the scary human skin mask, but he sounded like he was about to cry. "I still don't think I'm qualified for this job."
"Cheer up! How can a man admit that he can't do it so easily? " Chen Ge looked into Gu Feiyu's eyes. "Everything has a process. It's normal for you to be afraid now, but after you overcome the fear in your heart, you'll get used to it."
Then, Chen Ge handed Xiaoxiao to Gu Feiyu. "No matter what happens in the scenario, don't panic. This little girl will bring you good luck."
Gu Feiyu held Yin Xiaoxiao with one hand. At that moment, no matter what Chen Ge said, he could only believe it.
Chen Ge led Gu Feiyu to familiarize himself with all the hidden paths and traps in the scenario and taught him some basic scaring techniques.
For example, how far to keep a distance to give the visitors the most pressure, how to block the visitors' vision to surprise them, and so on.
There were still twenty minutes until 9 am. Chen Ge had Gu Feiyu wait for him inside the Murder by Midnight scenario while he left.
Gu Feiyu, who was left alone inside the scenario, hugged the hammer and Xiaoxiao. He curled up helplessly in the corner. He looked down the dark corridor and slowly squatted down.
Several months ago, I was still transplanting rice seedlings in the endless paddy fields. The big city sure is complicated. I'm starting to miss grandma's braised pork with preserved vegetables …
After closing the door to the scenario, Chen Ge heard movement outside the Haunted House. He walked out to take a look and saw a few workers installing banners.
"Chen Ge!" Xu Shu was conversing with an unfamiliar middle-aged man in the resting hall. When he saw Chen Ge walk out of the Haunted House, Xu Shu waved for Chen Ge to come over.
"Uncle, you're early today."
"Today is the important day for our theme park to regroup, so of course I came early." Xu Shu had a smile on his face like he was in a good mood. "This is Worker Yang, he's responsible for the construction of the resting hall. You can ask him if you have any requests."
"Just call me Ol 'Yang." The middle-aged man looked friendly.
"Construction team?" Seeing Worker Yang, Chen Ge was reminded of something. "I do have a favor to ask of you."
"Director Luo has given me the order. Just tell me."
"I need you to seal the two exits of the park's underground parking lot as soon as possible. There's no need to seal them completely, but make sure no one enters or exits." Earlier, the park had only used a barrier to block the entrance, and one could easily climb through the gap.
"Okay, no problem."
Director Luo had rented the underground parking lot to Chen Ge for free. Xu Shu knew about that, so he did not stop him.
"Then, you guys continue with your work. I'll go back to the Haunted House to inspect the traps." Chen Ge returned to the Haunted House and took out the black phone. "One night has passed. The expansion should be complete."
He clicked on the screen, and there were indeed two unread messages.
"The second expansion is successful! Obtained a special construction reward — Specter's Changing Room.
"After another expansion, the Haunted House will be upgraded to a Maze of Terror!
"Specter's Changing Room: Police officers who accidentally wander into the Haunted House, students trapped at an abandoned school, reporters who visit a sick hall at night, patients who have lost their memory — visitors can experience different characters here. Specter's Changing Room will provide costumes for the visitors, and changing into the costumes will greatly increase the sense of immersion!
