"Chen Ge, are you sure you want to go to Xin Hai?" Xu Shu was still worried.
"Director Luo once told me that one has to look at the big picture. This time, I'm going to Xin Hai to give Nightmare Academy a warning and to understand the market," Chen Ge said seriously. "It'll be fine, don't worry."
Pulling open the door, Chen Ge and Zhang Jingjiu entered the Haunted House together.
"Wait here for a while, I need to go down to the underground scenario." Chen Ge placed most of the employees in his backpack back into the scenario, but he kept a small number that he could not control with him, like the red high heels, the headless woman, and Qiu Mei.
He did this not to take revenge on Nightmare Academy but because he was worried that after he left, these Red Specters might cause trouble at the Haunted House.
Of course, to balance out the power, Chen Ge also brought along Yan Danian's group and Xu Yin.
"The hammer definitely won't pass the security check, so I won't bring it."
After taking out the hammer, the backpack instantly felt lighter. Chen Ge was still not used to it.
Returning to the surface, Chen Ge and Zhang Jingjiu waited for the other employees to arrive and helped them with their make-up before leaving.
At 11 am, Chen Ge and Zhang Jingjiu took the bus to Xin Hai. The two cities were not far from each other, but there was an obvious difference in temperature.
Xin Hai's average temperature was higher than Jiujiang, but Chen Ge had no idea why.
"Jingjiu, you should spend some time with your father. We're family after all." Chen Ge transferred another red packet to Zhang Jingjiu. "Buy some stuff for your father. I won't be accompanying you anymore. Call me if you need anything."
Before Zhang Jingjiu could reject, Chen Ge carried his backpack and left the train station.
After finding the location of Nightmare Academy online, Chen Ge hailed a cab and rushed there.
Different from Chen Ge's Haunted House, which was opened at the theme park, Nightmare Academy was located at the busiest commercial street in Xin Hai.
As the most famous haunted house in Xin Hai, they had booked the entire back of the building.
Coincidentally, there was a small oversight in the design of the commercial street, causing the dark side of one of the buildings to be blocked by another taller building. Regardless of whether it was morning or afternoon, the sun could not shine on it.
Many merchants were unwilling to move into this building that was always' facing away from the sun '. In the end, it was spotted by the founder of Nightmare Academy. He rented the side of the building that was facing away from the sun at a very low price and transformed it into the largest haunted house in Xin Hai.
The sunny side of the building that was occasionally illuminated by sunlight was bustling with all kinds of businesses and restaurants. The other half of the building was tightly shut, completely isolated from the outside world.
One yin and one yang, the two were clearly separated. This place also became a famous attraction in Xin Hai, and it had a very high rating on the internet.
But that was something that had happened several years ago. The popularity of physical Haunted Houses was declining, and the number of visitors to Nightmare Academy had dwindled.
They were also constantly releasing new scenes, but they couldn't stop the decline in popularity.
After paying the taxi fare, Chen Ge stopped at the entrance of the commercial street.
There was an endless stream of traffic and high-rise buildings. Even though it was a working day, it was still packed with people.
"Don't they need to go to work?"
Carrying his old backpack, Chen Ge, who was dressed normally, stood out like a sore thumb on the busiest commercial street in this big city, but Chen Ge did not mind that.
Compared to appearance, he paid more attention to the soul.
Following the map on his phone, Chen Ge soon found Nightmare Academy. The building that housed the haunted house was located at the corner of the commercial street, and the human traffic there was significantly smaller.
"An immersive haunted house! An extreme 4D experience! The world-class haunted house — Nightmare Academy, Screaming School Reopens! "
Before he got close, Chen Ge saw an actor in a haunted house uniform standing at the entrance of the haunted house. He was holding a microphone and shouting at the top of his lungs.
"Nightmare Academy's Museum of Horrors is a new indoor theme park that combines Haunted House, Escape Room, Maze, Character Development, and Interactive Scenario Show! It requires the players to combine intelligence, courage, and stamina to surpass their limits and overcome the obstacles!
"Be it the design, traps, props, scenarios, or make-up, it beats all the existing haunted houses on the market!"
The worker shouted at the top of his lungs, but there were not many people who were interested in the haunted house on the commercial street. Occasionally, some people stopped, but it was only out of curiosity, and they would leave after a while.
"Sir, do you want to come visit our haunted house?" The worker had noticed Chen Ge long ago. He saw Chen Ge standing at the entrance, but due to the man's uncouth appearance, he was too lazy to approach him.
"Is your haunted house scary?" Chen Ge was curious. Even though the man was not kind, he was quite powerful, or else he would not have become the biggest haunted house in Xin Hai.
"Whether it's scary or not, it's not up to me. You have to experience it for yourself." The worker started to keep Chen Ge guessing, but then, perhaps afraid that Chen Ge would leave, he added, "I can only say that a world-class haunted house is not a joke. Our haunted house has maintained a one third exit rate, and the number of visitors who can complete the mission and clear it is only one tenth. In fact, there are records of people queuing for three hours and giving up after three minutes."
"The clearance rate is one tenth, huh?"
"Yes, it's that realistic. The terror inside our Nightmare Academy is not a simple scare but a kind of exploration of the unknown, of the human heart." The worker was very proud. "How about it? Do you want to come in and experience it? It's a working day, so there's a discount. Normally, one ticket costs two hundred, but now it's only one hundred and eighty. "
"So expensive?" Chen Ge thought about it and felt that it was not a problem. His haunted house was inside the theme park, and if he wanted to visit it, he would need to buy a pass to the theme park, but Nightmare Academy was just a haunted house. "When I come to Xin Hai in the future, I can increase the ticket price. When in Xin Hai, do as the Romans do."
Chen Ge was still thinking when the worker lost his patience. "You get what you pay for. Our haunted house will definitely give you the best experience."
"Fine, give me a ticket." Chen Ge entered the haunted house. The interior was decorated very well. The ticketing hall had been modified into a place for the admission process. The elevator that led into the scenario had been decorated to look like the entrance to the school. Various pictures and ghost stories were pasted on the walls, and there were many scary posters.
Before he even entered the scenario, the atmosphere had already been created. This Nightmare Academy was not as simple as it seemed.
When Chen Ge entered, there were two other visitors in the room. They looked like they had been waiting for a long time.
"I'm sorry, but the minimum number of people who can enter the scenario at one time is five. I hope you can wait a little longer." The female worker at the ticket counter waved at Chen Ge. "Why don't you do the admission process first? When everyone is here, we'll go in immediately."
"Okay." Chen Ge took out his ID and walked to the ticket counter.
The other worker who handled the ticket had his head lowered, but when he saw Chen Ge's ID, he suddenly raised his head.
"Chen Ge?"
