"There was no other way. When I controlled Xiao Bu to pass the bus, I saw a woman standing at the bus stop, a woman in a red raincoat.
"The whole game interface was gray, so the woman in the red raincoat was very eye-catching.
"I used the mouse to click on the woman, and a message popped up at the bottom of the screen — 'Have you seen my child?'
"That should have been the woman in the raincoat. No matter how I clicked, that was the only thing that came out.
"The style of the game had changed drastically, and I was quite afraid. I continued to play purely out of curiosity. I ignored the woman in the red raincoat and wanted to move forward, but the girl, Xiao Bu, refused to listen to my command, and her body suddenly stopped moving.
"I moved closer to the screen and saw that the woman in the raincoat was holding Xiao Bu's arm. The scariest thing was that the woman in the raincoat was shaking. There seemed to be a bug in the game, and the message kept popping up — 'Have you seen my child?'
"I clicked madly until I clicked on the bus. Only then did the girl break free from the woman's grasp and enter the bus.
"The bus started to move, and it moved down the road.
"After who knows how long, Xiao Bu, who was wearing her mother's pajamas, suddenly paced back and forth inside the bus. She heard the child crying."
Fan Cong did not continue. His emotions were unstable, and his fat hands clutched his chest. "It was then that I started to hallucinate. When I reached this place that day, it was already 3 am. I was afraid, so I turned off the computer, but after I crawled into bed, I could still hear the child crying. The sound seemed to come from the computer, but soon, the crying came from other parts of the room. It felt like the child had walked out from the computer. "
"When did this start?" Chen Ge took out his phone and exchanged messages with Fan Cong. "About one or two weeks ago, no, I can't remember." Fan Cong sounded pained. "Next time, you can come to Eastern Jiujiang to find me, and we can talk."
"Okay, where is your home?"
"The first residential building at Eastern Jiujiang's Li Wan City."
Chen Ge wrote down the address and left after chatting with Fan Cong for a while.
"The strange things that have happened recently have all happened in Eastern Jiujiang. Looks like that place is quite chaotic and not as peaceful as it looks." Chen Ge returned to the Haunted House to continue his business. Even though the few visitors were scared out of their wits, none of them complained or expressed any dissatisfaction.
For people who were really looking for excitement, they would never be dissatisfied because it was too exciting, they would only complain because it was not exciting enough.
However, there were not many visitors like that. Most of the visitors would become rational after trying the one-star and two-star scenarios. In their eyes, anyone who dared to challenge a three-star scenario was a ruthless person.
At 6: 50 pm, Chen Ge's Haunted house closed for the day. After sending off the last batch of visitors, the employees could finally leave the scenarios that they were responsible for.
"Thank you for your hard work. Tonight's forecast is for rain, and the weather is not good. You guys should get off work early and go home."
After cleaning the Haunted House, Chen Ge followed Xiao Gu and Xu Wan out of the Haunted House.
"Boss, where are you going?"
"There are still some inferior materials at the mannequin workshop. I plan to make some body parts. The new scenario still needs to be perfected." Chen Ge locked the Haunted House door.
"It still needs to be perfected?" Xiao Gu's eyes widened. "Boss, I heard you scared nine visitors until they fainted today. Theoretically speaking, that should be on the news. Are you sure you want to perfect the new scenario? How about we give the visitors a chance to live? "
"That won't do." Chen Ge rejected him without hesitation. "You don't understand people's hearts. The more they can't get, the more they'll chase after it. We have to ensure that our Haunted House has a legendary scenario that will never be cleared. As long as this scenario exists, the visitors will keep coming to challenge it. Once all the scenarios are cleared, our Haunted House will be no different from other Haunted Houses. "
"Yes, creating a Haunted House that the visitors will never be able to clear is the foundation of our business." No matter what Chen Ge said, Xu Wan would support him unconditionally. She walked on the other side of Chen Ge with her head lowered, occasionally cooperating with Chen Ge.
"I think I get it now." Xiao Gu nodded, not really understanding it.
"Don't tell anyone else after you leave this. This is the core secret of our Haunted House," Chen Ge said with a light smile.
"Okay, of course."
The three walked down the road and eventually reached the mannequin workshop. Xu Wan and Xiao Gu did not show any intention of leaving. They wanted to help Chen Ge.
Chen Ge had already informed Boss Qian, so the three went to the workshop to start their new work.
At around 8 pm, considering the two employees' health and the fact that they still had work the next day, Chen Ge had Xu Wan and Xiao Gu go home first.
"The number of employees is still too small. Xu Wan and Xiao Gu are working too hard every day. After the impact of the futuristic theme park is over, I can take all the employees on a vacation."
Boss Qian had already returned home, and Chen Ge closed the door. He planned to work there through the night. After all, the inferior materials were a waste in the warehouse, so he might as well give them a new 'life'.
Xu Wan and Xiao Gu walked out from the workshop. They were not going the same way, so after saying goodbye, Xiao Gu headed to the countryside alone.
"It's only 8 pm now, I should be able to catch the last bus." Walking to the nearest bus stop, Xiao Gu looked at the map. "The place I'm staying at is too isolated. After this month's salary is paid, I'll move to an apartment closer to New Century Park. But if I return in less than three months, I might not get my deposit back. It feels like I'll need to save money again. "
Taking a taxi home was too extravagant. Xiao Gu looked at the map and waited for the last bus. As he looked, he suddenly noticed the reflection of a woman on the bus stop sign.
At the bus stop across the road, a woman seemed to be sneaking glances at him.
"Such a strange outfit. Even though the forecast said there will be rain tonight, the rain hasn't even started yet. Why is she wearing a raincoat already?" Xiao Gu's hair stood on end from the woman's stare. He took out his phone to take a picture of the woman, but when he turned around, the woman had disappeared.
"It was reflected in the glass. It was there. Why did it disappear so quickly?"
Xiao Gu held the phone and looked around. It was like the woman had never appeared before.
Thunder rumbled in the night sky, and the thick clouds started to press down. There might be a heavy rain that night.
Just as Xiao Gu was spacing out, a bus came his way. The bus was not moving fast, and there were very few passengers.
