Adjusting his angle, Chen Ge used a lot of effort to get a good look at the blood stain on the mirror. It was an Arabic number — '2'.
The number itself was not scary, but the fact that it was written in blood made Chen Ge feel uncomfortable.
What is the meaning of this number? Last night, after the mirror monster left, I saw the number '3' on the broken mirror, and today, it has changed to '2'. Is there some kind of relationship between the two? Why would it slowly decrease? "Chen Ge was confused." Could it be that this number represents the date? Is it a countdown?
Looking at the blood stain that had not dried yet, Chen Ge leaned against the door and fell into deep thought.
The mirror monster has already left. It has taken over Zhang Peng's body, so there is no reason for it to leave this number behind unless it plans to come back for revenge. Chen Ge was confused. He knew too little about the other world, so he could not guess the thing's intention.
"If this number decreases every day, what will happen when it reaches zero?" A bad feeling rose in Chen Ge's heart. He paced back and forth at the door. Will this number be linked to my life? On the night the numbers turn to zero, something terrifying will come for me? "
Stopping, Chen Ge felt like he was being too nervous. I'll wait and see tomorrow night. If this number appears again, then I'll make my move.
He sighed. He just wanted to run the Haunted House, rent the underground parking lot, unlock more scenarios, and grow the Haunted House. However, things did not always go according to his wishes. Accidents always happened, messing up his plan.
When he returned to the staff breakroom, a few more police cars arrived outside the Haunted House. After the investigation team arrived, they asked Chen Ge some questions and snapped a few pictures before returning to the intense chase.
Inspector Lee accompanied Chen Ge, but when the sun rose, there was still no news of Zhang Peng's capture.
However, Inspector Lee promised Chen Ge that with Zhang Peng's current condition, he would not have run too far away, and they would capture him within twenty-four hours.
That was not what Chen Ge was worried about. He had been thinking about the number left behind by the mirror monster, so he was not in a good mood.
Inspector Lee thought he was in shock and didn't think much of it. He comforted him and left with the rest of the team when the sun rose.
Chen Ge sat alone inside the Haunted House. He opened the window and allowed the morning breeze to caress his collar.
"I'm the boss of a Haunted House, technically speaking, I can be considered the leader of the ghosts, but how come it feels like I'm living such a miserable life?" The morning light filtered into the room, and the doll that was placed on the bed seemed to be blown away by the wind and fell off the bed.
Chen Ge picked up the little guy and poked its stomach. "The only obedient baleful Specter. Other than acting cute, she doesn't know anything. If a fight really breaks out, I'll probably have to protect her."
The doll in his hand seemed to be very dissatisfied with Chen Ge's evaluation of her. She tried to struggle free, but she was unable to do so.
"The rewards from completing two consecutive Nightmare Missions are all supportive. They're useful for the development of the Haunted House, but they won't be of much help to me." Chen Ge had no idea what would happen after the number cleared. He was a very careful person, so he would not place himself in danger.
Taking out the black phone, Chen Ge searched for a long time and realized that the only thing that could be used as a trump card was the seemingly powerful Red Specter — Zhang Ya.
In the wooden hut at the back of Ping An Apartments, Zhang Ya had helped Chen Ge once, reminding him that Wang Qi was behind him. In a way, she had saved his life.
However, during the Nightmare Mission, when the mirror monster had pressed its hand against Chen Ge's head and was about to drown him, Zhang Ya had not appeared.
From this, one could see that she acted on her own whims.
"After completing the Bloody Heart Mission, I can order her to do something that is not against her will. Then, I can ask her to help me deal with any possible danger." Chen Ge clicked on Zhang Ya's name. Looking at the blood red page, even though he had been training his courage since he was young, he was still quite afraid at that moment. "This big sister likes me after I'm dead. The Bloody Heart Mission is rising too fast. What if she can't wait any longer and decides to kill me?"
The love of a baleful Specter was not something that anyone could withstand. Chen Ge exited the page and felt like the air had become fresher. "The Bloody Heart Mission can be considered my last trump card. If that number appears again tonight and changes again, then I'll use this trump card to complete the Bloody Heart Mission."
After making the decision, Chen Ge felt much better, and he slowly fell asleep.
At 8 am, Xu Wan arrived at work. Chen Ge handed the Haunted House over to her while he went to buy the cameras.
He was in such a hurry because there were too many blind spots in the Haunted House, and it was very unsafe. The other reason was because one of the Daily Missions updated by the black phone required him to install surveillance and voice-activated devices.
After buying the cameras that morning, Chen Ge led the workers back to the Haunted House. With his personal accompaniment, the workers carefully installed the cameras at every corner of the Haunted House, forming a surveillance network that had very few blind spots. With regards to the voice-activated devices, due to his limited funds, he only bought the cheapest one and installed it in the Minghun scenario.
At 7 pm, after the final adjustment, Chen Ge received the notification from the black phone that he had completed the mission.
"Only with enough tension and relaxation will you be able to give your visitors the best experience. Congratulations for completing the Easy Daily Mission. Reward obtained — Background Track, Wedding Dress!
"Warning: Wedding Dress perfectly matches the Minghun scenario! The Minghun scenario's scream rating has risen to one star! "
Seeing the notification, Chen Ge was stunned. The Minghun scenario's scream rating was originally only half a star, but it had risen to one star because of this song. This proved that this song was scarier than Black Friday.
Being responsible for his visitors, Chen Ge gave it a listen. It felt like it was a completely different style from Black Friday. One was slow, like one was slowly being dragged into an abyss; the other was creepier and more exciting, turning from a happy song to a mourning song. From the first note, it made one's scalp go numb.
It does match the Minghun scenario, but listening to this kind of song too often will cause psychological trauma. If there's no one coming to ruin the Haunted House in the future, I'd better not use it too often. Chen Ge saved Wedding Dress into his phone and went to the third floor to clean up.
He did not have the extra money to hire workers. With several dolls stuffed in his pocket, he used the tools to clean up all the broken mirrors in the Haunted House.
When he was done, it was already late at night. Chen Ge hugged the phone and wandered between the staff breakroom and bathroom.
