"I don't know. This is the first time I've heard of it." Bai Qiulin turned to Lao Zhou. "Lao Zhou, you know the most. Do you know what a script is?"
Lao Zhou shook his head and scratched his chin. "Perhaps it's a new genre. When there's a chance, I'll ask Mr. Chen about it."
"That's not a bad idea. If Mr. Chen knows that Danian's painting has been recognized by the master, he will be very happy." Duan Yue dragged Shinozaki out of the room. Lao Zhou and Bai Qiulin carried Xiao Xia and followed behind them. The group soon left the residential area.
Several minutes after they left, footsteps echoed down the corridor.
"Jinyuan? Wei Jinyuan? " A shrill voice came from the door. The door was pushed open, and Lee Changyin glanced into the living room. "The tape on the door has been torn off. They must have been here."
Lee Changyin had been exploring the building next door. After he entered the third floor, he realized that all the sub-scenarios were connected. It was like a large underground maze.
What they had seen earlier was just the tip of the iceberg; the real scary thing was buried deep underground.
A normal Haunted House exploration only allowed three to five people at a time, and the time limit was twenty minutes.
A Haunted House like Chen Ge's that allowed ten people at a time and had a time limit of forty minutes was very rare.
Lee Changyin did not understand it initially. It was not until he saw the underground scenario that he understood that this place could allow twenty visitors at a time without any problems.
When Wei Jinyuan screamed, Lee Changyin had already wandered far underground.
When he heard Wei Jinyuan's scream, he rushed toward the source of the scream, but he was still one step too late.
Walking through the corridors that looked similar, Lee Changyin was worried that he might get lost. In the end, he decided to retrace his steps and find out what had happened to Wei Jinyuan.
"This room is empty. I've been here for more than twenty minutes already, and I haven't run into anything. Is the setup of this scenario incomplete?"
Since the scenario was large, it would require many actors. Lee Changyin felt like he was very unlucky; he had not run into any actors.
"I can't even find someone to ask." Lee Changyin stood in the middle of the corridor with a dark expression on his face. "The visitation is already half over. Looks like I'll have to go find those actors."
He was not naturally sensitive to fear. When he was young, his parents had taken him to see a doctor. After a check-up, the doctor found that his brain was different from ordinary people.
The dorsal frontal lobe of the brain was well-developed, and the limbic cortex and prefrontal cortex were underdeveloped. Although he looked like a normal person, his cognition and style of doing things were completely different from normal people.
He tried his best to look like a normal person, but as long as he was not careful, he would be exposed.
Before this, he had tried many jobs, but he had been fired due to various reasons. In the end, he had joined Xin Hai's Nightmare Academy.
Hiding inside the dark and eerie Haunted House, he could finally tear off his disguise and return to his real self.
Scratching his neck, Lee Changyin walked out from the residential area. He looked around expressionlessly. "The man with the surname Chen gave us four clues. Now, I can't even contact the other visitors, much less the clues. What happened to them when I entered the underground building?"
"Wei Jinyuan is quite brave, and he has been working at a Haunted House for many years. It is not normal for him to be so scared. Could the rumors about this Haunted House be true?"
Lee Changyin frowned in deep thought. He did not notice the bushes beside the residential area moving slightly. A man in a trench coat was following him, holding a pair of scissors.
…
There was an ever-burning lantern hanging at the entrance of the hotel, shining on the nameless hotel sign.
A cold breeze blew through the silent street. The lantern flickered, and Zhang Jingjiu's shadow grew longer and longer.
"How should I play the role of a hotel owner?"
He was wearing the jacket that Chen Ge had taken out from the Specter's Changing Room. He sat beside the wooden table, holding his chin, and thought hard.
"Since I've decided to work here, I need to achieve something. Scissors is obviously talented, or rather, he is just a natural actor. If I want to reach his level, I need to keep learning."
Zhang Jingjiu looked around. After making sure there were no visitors, he silently took out his phone and went online to research how to become a qualified actor.
He was engrossed in his research when footsteps came from the street. A man and a woman ran toward them from the junction with panicked expressions.
"There's a light! Follow Mr. Chen's instructions! We'll go to the light! "The man was relatively calm. He dragged his female companion to the entrance of the hotel.
The two ran at the speed of a hundred-meter sprint. When they reached the entrance, they collapsed to the ground.
"I can't run anymore. I can't run anymore." The woman waved her hands frantically. The man had reached his limit as well. He gasped for air, and his heart was pounding.
"There's a visitor coming!" Zhang Jingjiu adjusted his jacket. This was the first time he had encountered a visitor at a Haunted House, so he was naturally nervous.
Pocketing his phone, he walked to the entrance. "Do you … need help?"
That was not what Zhang Jingjiu wanted to say, but seeing how pitiful the two visitors were, he could not help himself.
Hearing an unfamiliar voice coming from behind him, the man jumped up with a 'whoosh' and stumbled back several steps before he stopped.
Seeing the young man react like a mouse running into a cat, Zhang Jingjiu shook his head with a bitter smile. Just how much despair had the man been through to have such a huge reaction from him?
"Don't go over there! He's a Haunted House worker! "The young man looked like he was facing a great enemy. The woman beside him quickly stood up to stand beside the man.
"I'm indeed a worker here, but I'm different from the other workers." Zhang Jingjiu did not know how to put it. "Why don't you two come in and rest? There's water in the hotel."
"Do you think I'll believe your bullsh * t!"
The man took several more steps back until he was almost leaning against the wall of the 'kennel' across the street.
"You've heard too much bullsh * t that you don't understand human language anymore, right? I'm a new employee, and the boss did not give me any scary missions. This sub-scenario that I'm responsible for is a place for the visitors to rest. " Zhang Jingjiu waved at them. "The boss was worried that you might not be able to handle it, so he purposely built a place for you to rest."
Zhang Jingjiu was not lying. He had no idea what was inside the hotel that he was responsible for.
In reality, Li Wan Hotel was a very unique scenario. In the real Li Wan City, this scenario was both the safest and the most dangerous place.
It was the same inside Chen Ge's Haunted House. When Zhang Jingjiu was responsible for this, this was the safest place in the whole small town, but if it was Chen Ge, this hotel would change completely.
