"Boss, your Haunted House is not bad." The man noticed Chen Ge looking at him, and he smiled politely. "I was very timid when I was young, and I was often teased by the kids nearby. Then my big brother brought me into the Haunted House to train my courage, and I fell in love with this kind of thrill."
"Then, you'll enjoy the next scenario even more." Chen Ge thought the man was weird, but he did not ask him what he was going to say.
Is he too nervous?
Chen Ge did not expose the man. He always maintained a smile before the visitors to leave a warm and sunny impression.
"Alright, it's time for us to enter." Chen Ge led the way and pulled back the curtain of the Haunted House.
Entering the room, Chen Ge took out the disclaimer agreement and placed it before the seven visitors. "A two-star scenario is different from a one-star scenario. To enter a two-star scenario, you have to sign the disclaimer agreement first."
He placed the printed agreement on the table. Of the seven visitors, three signed it without hesitation, and the other two picked it up to read it.
"Do I have to sign it?" The normal-looking visitor hesitated when he found out that he had to sign it. His eyes snuck a glance at the other visitor.
There's an accomplice?
Chen Ge stood next to the visitors without batting an eyelid. "Of course, our Haunted House has to sign a disclaimer to enter a one-star scenario, but due to the large number of visitors, we had to adjust it at the last minute."
"Okay."
Chen Ge stared at the visitors closely, not missing any of their movements.
Today was the first day of the theme park's promotion, and it was a new beginning for Haunted House, so there could not be any mistakes.
The visitors slowly finished signing the agreement. The normal-looking man was called Wei Wu, and the visitor that he snuck a glance at was called Kong Xiangming.
Compared to the other visitors, these two were less excited and kept a low profile.
The remaining five visitors were relatively normal. Three of them were younger and looked like students, while the other two looked like a couple who were having an argument.
Chen Ge's attention was mainly on Wei Wu and Kong Xiangming. However, he did not expect that one of the female students would call out his name when he was collecting the disclaimer.
"You are the haunted house boss Chen Ge that Heshan mentioned on the forum, right?"
As soon as Chen Ge's name was uttered, a few visitors looked over.
"You know Heshan? The three of you are students from Western Jiujiang Medical University? " Chen Ge retracted his gaze without leaving a trace. The two people who seemed to be from the Society of Strange Tales had no idea that they had been discovered by Chen Ge.
"Now Heshan has become a celebrity at our school." The girl had a ponytail. She was slightly chubby, and her skin was fair. She could not be called pretty, but she gave off a very clean vibe. "Many people from our school have come to visit, and there is a bet on the forum about which faculty will be the first to clear your haunted house."
"It is not easy to clear my haunted house. You should ask Heshan for his experience first." Chen Ge had a smile on his face, and he looked as kind as he could.
"It is indeed not easy. There were six of us, and half of us have died." Next to the girl was a boy who looked thin. He seemed to like the girl. His face was pale, and his legs were weak, but he insisted on following the girl.
"Why are you talking so much? If the first time doesn't work, try a few more times. It won't be so scary if you play the same scenario several times." The last student who spoke was a hot-tempered one. He stood on the other side of the girl.
Chen Ge looked at the names on their disclaimers and memorized their names.
"You've all waited for a long time, so I'll cut to the chase. The rule of the game is to find the nametags. The seven of you only need to find seventeen nametags to clear the scenario." Chen Ge's eyes scanned the group of visitors. "Other than that, I've introduced a new service. You only need to spend twenty RMB, and you'll be able to change into a character. You can choose any identity you want, such as a police officer, a doctor, or a reporter."
"We can change into a character?" The girl was tempted, but she was stopped by the thin boy.
"There's no need for that. The three of us will pass."
"What about the rest of you?"
The couple was still angry, so they ignored Chen Ge. The other two were probably members of the Society of Strange Tales, so they were not interested in changing into a character.
Chen Ge sighed with regret. He had wanted to try it out.
Opening the wooden boards, Chen Ge sent the visitors into the scenario. "The one on the left is the Mu Yang High School scenario, so make sure you don't get lost. The one on the right is called the Third Sick Hall. It's the only three-star scenario, and it's very dangerous. Last time, someone visited it and was sent to the hospital."
Chen Ge purposely mentioned the Third Sick Hall not because he wanted to warn the visitors but to test the reaction of the two suspicious visitors.
If they were mental patients who had escaped from the Third Sick Hall, they would have reacted when they heard the name.
The few visitors nodded and promised to stay put. The expressions of the two suspicious visitors did not change. They did not seem to know about the existence of the Third Sick Hall.
"Am I wrong?"
After giving a few more orders, Chen Ge closed the wooden boards and rushed to the surveillance room.
"Those two shouldn't be the mental patients from the Third Sick Hall, but there's a high chance they're members of the Society of Strange Tales." Chen Ge's eyes were calm, and the smile on his face had disappeared. "Captain Yan found the picture of me entering New Century Park on Xu Tong's phone, so this means that the members of the Society of Strange Tales should know what I look like."
Last night, the ghost on No. 5 had been consumed by Xu Yin, and No. 12, Lychee, had been captured by the police. Most importantly, Chen Ge had heard the voice of the person behind the scenes on the phone.
Even though it was only three short words, it was the biggest reward that Chen Ge had gotten that night.
"I've heard the voice of the chairperson of the Society of Strange Tales somewhere before. He's probably someone I know!"
Every member of the Society of Strange Tales should have a ghost on them, and they could only use their full power at night, but they had chosen to enter the Haunted House during the day.
From their strange actions, Chen Ge managed to glean two pieces of information.
One, the chairperson's voice had been exposed. He was worried that Chen Ge would remember his real identity, so he wanted to shut Chen Ge up as soon as possible.
Two, perhaps they were afraid of Zhang Ya. Ghosts were at their strongest after midnight, and they would be affected even during the day. Zhang Ya was no exception.
"You didn't come early or late. You came just in time for my opening ceremony. Looks like they've planned this well. They've mixed in with the visitors to make me lower my guard. "
The Society of Strange Tales's plan was perfect, but they did not expect that Chen Ge had seen Wei Wu in the screenshot of No. 5's surveillance.
This caused Chen Ge to discover their plan before it even started.
"I'll have to cooperate with them. There are too many visitors, and I can't let it affect the normal business."
When the Society of Strange Tales surrounded the thin shadow at Hai Ming Apartments, they had sent out at least two people. With how much importance they placed on Chen Ge, the number of people they sent this time would not be less than that.
"Not including me, there are twelve people in total in the Society of Strange Tales. Zhu Xiu, No. 5, and No. 12 have been eliminated, so there are nine left."
Chen Ge entered the control room and looked at the monitor before him. "In a while, there should be only seven left."
Calling Xiao Gu's number, Chen Ge had him remove Doctor Skull-cracker's uniform and enter the staff passageway.
"Have the visitors been sent out?"
"They've found the exit, and it feels like they're not that afraid of me." Xiao Gu was depressed. "I tried my best, but I'm just not talented enough."
"Don't give up so quickly." Chen Ge changed into the uniform. His lips twitched, and a scary smile appeared on the human skin mask. "Are you interested in seeing how I play this role?"
"No." Gu Feiyu shook his head decisively. After putting on the Doctor Skull-cracker's uniform, Chen Ge's presence changed completely like the uniform was made for him.
"If you're not interested, then you need to cultivate your interest. Come with me." Chen Ge grabbed Gu Feiyu's arm and dragged him underground.
…
After the wooden boards closed, the last ray of light disappeared. The underground scenario was very dark, and the few visitors were not used to it.
"Everyone, don't panic. Even though this scenario is very difficult, it's not impossible to clear it."
The medical student who appeared weak before Chen Ge seemed to have changed into a different person after entering the scenario. His voice was calm and collected.
He took out a notebook from his pocket. "I'll take thirty seconds of your time. I'll give you some notes."
"Do we need notes to visit a Haunted House? What era are we in? Don't you know how to use a phone? "the woman from the couple said impatiently. She was rather hot-tempered.
"That is the first point I wanted to make." The thin man pointed at the first point. "Do not use a phone inside Mr. Chen's Haunted House! Do not even touch it! "
He waved the notebook in his hand. "You might not believe me, but every point in this notebook is the experience of our seniors who have exchanged their blood and tears for it. It is one of the legacies of Western Jiujiang's Medical University."
"I think you've lost your mind from school," the woman mocked.
The woman sneered. The man behind her pulled her. "Nana, don't cause trouble."
"Mind your own business!" The woman seemed to be in a bad mood. She flung the man's hand away. "Chen Zimin, we met at this Haunted House two years ago. Now, we'll part ways here. In the future, you'll walk your own path, and I'll walk mine."
"Can you stop messing around? I'm not accompanying you because my career has reached a crucial point, and I can't afford to be distracted! "
"Am I being unreasonable? Do you think I care about your money? " The woman wore a pair of high heels and light make-up. Her clothes were not expensive, but they matched well. "Chen Zimin, when you were at your lowest, I didn't leave you. I stayed by your side for two whole years!"
"I know, Na Na …"
"That's enough. Things have changed, just like this Haunted House. Two years have changed too much. "After saying that, the woman headed into Mu Yang High School. The man chased after her.
"Please wait a moment, you two!" The thin man gripped the notebook in his hand and said anxiously, "The second point I want to make is, do not split up!"
He shouted loudly, but unfortunately, the couple was still angry, so no one paid attention to him.
"Yang Cheng, ignore them. We can clear this scenario on our own." The other two students from Western Jiujiang's Medical University joined them.
"This scenario requires the cooperation of many people to have a chance of clearing it, and we're already outnumbered." The thin man called Yang Cheng sighed. "There are only five of us left, and we can't split up."
He turned to Wei Wu and Kong Xiangming. "Are you two interested in cooperating? We need to find seventeen nametags to clear this scenario. "
"Cooperation?" Wei Wu and Kong Xiangming shared a look, but neither of them said anything.
"You don't know how crazy this Haunted House's boss is. If we don't work together, we won't have a chance of clearing this scenario." Yang Cheng took out a hand-drawn map from his notebook. There were forty-one red crosses on it.
"This is a sign of our sincerity. Since Mu Yang High School's scenario opened, many seniors have come to experience it, and we've found nametags at forty-one places." Yang Cheng showed them the map. "The locations of the nametags keep changing, but some of them repeat. First, we need to search these forty-one places as fast as we can."
Wei Wu and Kong Xiangming were interested in the map in Yang Cheng's hands, but they did not care about clearing the scenario.
"There's no problem with working together; it's beneficial for everyone." The two who appeared to be members of the ghost stories society agreed to work with Yang Chen after a short conversation.
"Time is limited, so I'll assign the tasks."
"Brothers, you'll be responsible for the ones on the left. Wang Yan, Lee Xue, the three of us will go to the right.
"Everyone, be careful! Make sure you're in the sight of your partner at all times, preferably in pairs. "
After saying that, Yang Cheng put the map away and turned to look at the others seriously. "There are a few taboos at Mr. Chen's Haunted House. Don't play with your phone, don't wander around alone, and don't ask about marriage. These taboos were summarized by our seniors. I don't know the reason behind them, but there has to be a reason for them. I hope you'll remember them and don't try them. "
Yang Chen's expression was extremely solemn. Wei Wu and Kong Xiangming couldn't understand what he was trying to say.
The two teams started to search the classrooms on the left and right. After they moved away from each other, Wei Wu silently sidled up to Kong Xiangming. "This Haunted House makes me feel uncomfortable. Each of the taboos is creepier than the last."
"Stay away from me. Pretend we don't know each other. There are cameras installed in the Haunted House, be careful not to be seen." Kong Xiangming was very careful. He pretended to look for the nametags.
"For some reason, I feel uneasy." Wei Wu looked for the nametags with his mind wandering.
