Chen Ge was the last person to jump down from the second floor. When he stood on the windowsill, he was shocked by the rush of people downstairs.
"This seems to be getting out of hand."
To prevent himself from standing out, after some hesitation, Chen Ge also jumped down from the windowsill.
"Someone is jumping off the building!"
Waves of voices echoed down Xin Hai's Central Avenue as more and more people rushed toward them.
Ten minutes later, when the police arrived, the scene returned to order.
"Don't stay where you are, don't block the exit, let the ambulance in!"
The few officers chased away the crowd. It did not take them long to find the few who had 'jumped off the building'.
"The thing underneath the building has escaped! Officer! I know this is hard to understand, but that is the truth! "Xiao Zhao kept jumping to attract the police's attention." There are still visitors inside! Quick! Save them! "
The few haunted house workers were agitated and had not calmed down yet. After the police asked them about the situation, they all had strange expressions on their faces.
Initially, they thought that it was a murder, but then they thought that there was a fire inside the haunted house, and they were forced to jump off the building. However, after listening to the workers' description, the police felt like they were playing a joke on them.
"The thing underneath the building? Do you know the consequence of playing a prank on the police? " The leading officer's face was dark. After understanding the situation, he started to suspect that Nightmare Academy was purposely creating hype. This was all a farce that they had put on to gain popularity and attention.
"We are not playing a prank on you! It's real! The thing underneath the building appeared out of thin air! He was wearing a red shirt! "The few surviving haunted house workers described the scene to the police.
Fear in their eyes, urgency in their tone, and exaggerated body movements — it was like the haunted house workers were too deep in character to come out of it.
"Alright, alright, where is your boss? Get him out here. I have something to ask him. "The officer felt like he could not communicate with the haunted house workers.
"Boss?" The few haunted house workers looked at each other. They suddenly remembered that their boss was still inside the haunted house!
"Oh no! The boss is still inside! "
…
Waving the golf club in his hand, the owner of Nightmare Academy, Shang Guan Qing Hong, frowned slightly. "It's a bit too light. Oh well, I won't be able to find a better weapon in such a short amount of time.
He turned to look at the computer screen and checked the few clips that he had taken from the surveillance camera. The main character in these clips was Chen Ge, and all the clips were of Chen Ge running away from his own Haunted House.
"With such a cowardly boss, how can Jiujiang Haunted House compare to my Nightmare Academy in the future? Even when their boss came to my place, he was so scared that he peed his pants." Even though many accidents had happened that day, Boss Shangguan was still very happy. He felt like he had protected the reputation of his Haunted House and dealt a heavy blow to his opponent's arrogance.
"So what if the real ghost has escaped from downstairs? As long as it is a ghost that appears inside my Haunted House, it will be considered a part of my Haunted House's power. "Righteousness did not control wealth, and kindness did not command soldiers. Shang Guan Qing Hong felt like he had done the right thing.
"I have already obtained evidence that shows that Chen Ge has been scared witless. Now, I just need to get out of here safely." After all the clips from the surveillance were downloaded, Shang Guan Qing Hong put his phone away.
He put on the safety helmet and knee pads and held the golf club with one hand.
"It's time to go out. Even though the thing downstairs is scary and creepy, I have many employees under me. With everyone gathered together, even if it's a ghost, it won't be able to do anything."
Taking a deep breath, Shang Guan Qing Hong opened the door to the headmaster's office. "Everyone, do not panic! Listen to my command! "
The door was wide open, but there were no employees that Shang Guan Qing Hong expected. There was no one in the dark corridor, and only the cold wind from the air conditioner was blowing wildly.
"Where is everyone?"
Standing alone in the dark corridor, Shang Guan Qing Hong could not help but panic. He took out the walkie-talkie and shouted, "Where are you? Xiao Zhao? Ol 'Lee? Xiao Xu? "
He changed several channels in a row, but no one picked up. His voice was the only echo in the entire corridor.
"What's going on?"
No one answered the walkie-talkie, and no one answered the phone. It was as if he was the only person left in the world.
"Where have these people gone?"
Shang Guan Qing Hong held the golf club. After a short moment of panic, he quickly calmed down. "I notified them at the first moment the incident happened. The actors on the same floor as me gathered at the door of my office. Now that they have all disappeared, there are two possibilities.
"One, the ghost underneath the building is chasing after them. They have attracted the ghost's attention and helped me lure it away. Now is the perfect chance for me to leave.
"Two, they have already been killed. If that is the case, then it is pointless for me to be afraid. What will come will come. Blindly panicking will only cause me to lose control."
The fact that Shang Guan Qing Hong was able to turn Nightmare Academy into the biggest haunted house in Xin Hai proved that he was a very capable person. However, perhaps due to the smooth sailing of his career, there was a slight problem with his personality.
"My goal has been achieved. Now, I only need to ensure my own safety." Shang Guan Qing Hong decided to leave. With regards to the safety of his employees, he would only consider that after ensuring his own safety.
He carefully walked to the elevator door. It was a short walk, but Shang Guan Qing Hong took a whole two minutes.
The familiar scene was now filled with a unique sense of fear.
Wiping away the cold sweat on his forehead, Shang Guan Qing Hong pressed the elevator button, but the elevator appeared to be malfunctioning. It kept stopping at the basement.
"What's going on?" After pressing the button several times, the number on the elevator's external display finally changed, and it started to rise.
"This is so slow!" Standing at the elevator door, Shang Guan Qing Hong became more and more afraid. He looked down the dark corridor, and he had a feeling that something would suddenly appear in the darkness. Fear was like a poisonous weed that had taken root in his heart.
When the elevator reached the second floor, Shang Guan Qing Hong suddenly heard footsteps coming from the corridor. The background music also changed at that moment, and he could clearly hear the voice of an unfamiliar man.
"The thing is coming."
The footsteps in the corridor got closer. Shang Guan Qing Hong stared at the number on the elevator's external display, and his hands gripped the golf club tightly.
"Quick!"
When the footsteps appeared on the fourth floor, the elevator finally reached the fourth floor.
The elevator doors that were painted with various colors opened. Shang Guan Qing Hong squeezed his way into the elevator, but he had just taken the first step when his body froze.
There was someone inside the elevator!
The man stood at the corner of the elevator with a pale face. When he saw the haunted house boss rush in with the golf club, he was given a fright as well.
"Who are you?"
The two asked in unison like they had discussed this beforehand.
After staring at each other for about three seconds, the haunted house boss spoke first. "Are you a visitor?"
He had placed all his attention on Chen Ge that day, so he did not pay much attention to the other visitors.
The middle-aged man with the pale face nodded and looked at Shang Guan Qing Hong cautiously. "What about you?"
"I am the haunted house's boss. There has been a small accident here. Don't ask so many questions. I'll send you out first." Before the visitors, Shang Guan Qing Hong was very calm.
After hearing Shang Guan Qing Hong say that he was the haunted house's boss, the other man in the elevator sighed in relief. "Okay."
"A tall tree attracts the wind. The accident happened today mainly because my colleague came to cause trouble. Normally, our haunted house doesn't operate like this." Shang Guan Qing Hong forced a smile and pushed all the blame onto Chen Ge. "Friend, what is your name?"
"My surname is Zhou. You can call me Lao Zhou."
The footsteps in the corridor approached quickly. They were already at the corner of the fourth floor. Shang Guan Qing Hong quickly pressed the button for the elevator door.
The blood-stained elevator door slowly closed, and the strange footsteps came closer and closer!
The haunted house boss could not do anything inside the elevator. His heart was hanging in his throat, and his fists slowly tightened.
"Close it! Close it now! "
Perhaps God had heard the Nightmare Academy's boss' prayer, because when the elevator door was about to close, the footsteps were still several meters away.
"It's done." He sighed in relief, but then something that he did not expect happened.
A hand reached out from inside the elevator and stuck in the middle of the elevator door that was about to close!
Shang Guan Qing Hong swore that he was not mistaken. The pale hand was reaching out from inside the elevator!
The elevator door touched the hand, and it opened to both sides again.
Shang Guan Qing Hong looked at Lao Zhou, who was standing at the door, and he almost fainted.
His lips were pale, and before he could say anything, a thick stench of blood crashed into the elevator like a tidal wave!
When he lifted his head again, Shang Guan Qing Hong saw Lao Zhou retreat to the side, and there was a strange figure standing at the elevator door.
The red dress was like blood, and resentment swirled around the body. Black curses crawled through the flesh and blood.
"Don't come any closer!" The haunted house boss curled up in the corner of the elevator and watched as the blood shadow entered the elevator. Then he saw Lao Zhou press the button to close the elevator door.
The elevator door slowly closed, and this time, there was no one to stop it.
…
"Your boss is still inside the haunted house?" The leader looked at the screaming workers and did not understand why they were so agitated.
"Officer! Please save our boss! He's still on the fourth floor! There are other visitors inside the haunted house! "
Hearing that the workers did not sound like they were joking, the police nodded and gathered the team to the front door.
"The elevator is the only exit for our haunted house, but now the elevator has been taken over by the things downstairs! It has been stopping at basement one … "Xiao Zhao said as he jumped. He led the way, and his finger pointed at the display outside the elevator.
However, when he saw the number on the display, he was stunned.
The number on the display was two, which meant that the elevator was passing through the second floor.
"The elevator is moving? The things downstairs must have taken the elevator to get up! "Xiao Zhao screamed.
The number on the display was still changing, and it soon turned into one.
Several seconds later, the elevator door slowly opened before the police and the workers.
The boss of Nightmare Academy, who was holding the golf club, was lying on the ground. His body was twitching, and he had lost consciousness.
"Boss!"
The workers rushed forward. "Call the ambulance!"
They were scared out of their wits. If this was a self-directed act, then they had gone too far.
The leading officer realized that something was not right, so he called a few people to take the elevator together.
They searched the whole building again and again, but they did not run into any of the dirty things that the haunted house workers had mentioned. Instead, they found more fainted workers and two visitors who were a couple with a confused look on their faces.
When they saw the police, the couple thought they were workers pretending to be the police. They tried to trigger the Haunted House's plot by talking to each other.
About thirty minutes later, the entrance to the haunted house was cleared. The fainted workers and the boss were sent away by the ambulance. The rest of the workers and visitors who were still conscious were left behind to be questioned by the police. In the end, all of them were led to the nearest police station.
Sitting inside the police car, Chen Ge very familiarly put on the seatbelt. He did not expect that he would have the chance to ride on a police car from Xin Hai on his first visit to Xin Hai.
"Officer, please believe me. I am really innocent. My hometown is in Jiujiang, and I came all the way here to visit this haunted house. Actually, I am also a victim …"
…
"Excuse me! Excuse me! " Make way! "Medical trolleys passed through the corridors, sending unconscious patients into the emergency room.
"There are no more seats! Send the patients at the back to the other sickrooms! Xiao Zhang, call Doctor Liu and Doctor Xu, who are resting, to come over now! A large number of workers at a haunted house on Xin Hai's Central Avenue have fainted! We suspect it to be food poisoning! They have probably ingested some kind of hallucinogenic substance! "
"The physical examination shows no abnormalities! They seem to have been stimulated by something. Fainting is the human body's natural defense mechanism. "
"When will they wake up?" The leading officer had a headache. Xin Hai was very safe, and something like this had never happened in the area that he was in charge of.
"I have no idea! If it's short, one or two will disappear; if it's long, it'll be several days. We can't really tell. " The doctor in charge also lost count. "If you are in a hurry, I suggest you transfer them to Jiujiang Central Hospital. I hear the doctors there are very good at treating fainting patients. They even set up a separate sickroom to receive these kinds of patients!"
"There's a hospital that specializes in treating fainting patients?" The leading officer was hesitant. The current situation was beyond his control.
"Forget about the other patients, but the patient by the name of Shang Guan Qing Hong is in very serious condition. He is already in a deep coma, and he is not responding to external stimuli. I suggest that we send him to Jiujiang to receive the relevant treatment immediately. "
"Okay, I will report this to my superior." The leading officer nodded. "The hospital in Jiujiang is called Jiujiang Central Hospital, right?"
"Yes, Jiujiang Central Hospital, the exclusive sickroom for theme park 514! I have no idea why they would give the sickroom such a name, but I know that their ability to treat fainting patients is the best in the industry, "the doctor said seriously.
