"This diary was taken from behind the door?" Chen Ge knew that Lao Zhou would not lie to him, so he placed both diaries on the table.
"Boss, I suspect that the reason the Nightmare Academy's boss was able to build this Haunted House was because he used this diary as a reference. The content of the diary recorded the scenario behind the door, and the boss recreated the scenario in real life based on the diary. "Lao Zhou shared his speculation.
"Could the boss of Nightmare Academy have entered the world behind the door?" Those who could survive behind the door were not normal people.
"We've interacted with the boss of Nightmare Academy. He is just a normal person with a weak mentality. He probably hasn't entered the world behind the door. He probably found this diary somewhere else." After Lao Zhou finished his analysis, he flipped the diary to the end. "The handwriting on this diary is different, written by different people. Many pages have been torn out, but that is not important. The important thing is that Xu Yin and I found these four words in the diary …"
Lao Zhou pointed at the end of the last page, and it said — 'I, die, one, three, School of the Afterlife, escape.'
It was a few words, and it was impossible to understand what the man was trying to say. Lao Zhou's group only saw the words School of the Afterlife. They knew that Chen Ge had been looking for information related to this school.
"School of the Afterlife? Could this diary have been taken from behind the door of the School of the Afterlife? "
When he saw the words School of the Afterlife, the expression in Chen Ge's eyes changed.
"That's possible, but I think we'd better find the boss and ask him about the truth." Lao Zhou scratched his head. "The man is probably still at the hospital. When he was left alone at the Haunted House, Xu Yin and I played with him for a while."
"Don't worry, the police did not tell me anything about the haunted house's boss. This means that the man's life is not in danger. We should go to the hospital now." School of the Afterlife was the first four-star mission that had appeared on the black phone. The mission deadline was approaching, but Chen Ge did not have the confidence to complete it.
Xu Yin was injured and Zhang Ya was in a coma. Forcefully doing a Four Star Trial Mission under such circumstances was a very dangerous thing to do.
However, he was unwilling to let Chen Ge give up on this mission. The futuristic theme park was about to open for business. If his Haunted House stagnated, the visitors that he had worked so hard to attract would probably be 'snatched' away.
This was why he was trying so hard to collect information about the School of the Afterlife. Be it taking the risk or choosing to give up, he had to have enough information to support his decision.
"You've stayed inside this Haunted House for the whole afternoon, did you find anything else?" There was a reason why Chen Ge had asked Lao Zhou and Xu Yin to stay behind — he wanted them to inspect the place first.
Lao Zhou shook his head. "Even though the building is built at the most Yin location and does not see sunlight all year round, the place is filled with Yin energy. Perhaps because Xin Hai's Central Street is too crowded with people, there are no ghosts here."
"Built in the middle of a busy city, the lingering spirit can stay here for a long time. The location of this Haunted House is perfect." The more Chen Ge looked at the place, the more he liked it. "When I get back, I'll have a good talk with Director Luo."
Chen Ge shoved the two diaries into his backpack, summoned back Xu Yin and Lao Zhou, and silently left Nightmare Academy.
"I need to find a way to wake up the boss of Nightmare Academy as soon as possible. Unfortunately, Doctor Wei is in charge of the Haunted House, so I didn't bring him with me."
When he was at the police station, Chen Ge had heard the name of the hospital that the actors were staying at from the police officers' conversation.
After leaving the underground parking lot, he hailed a cab to head to the hospital.
The hospital in Xin Hai was very big, and there were many patients. Chen Ge wandered around for a long time before he found a police officer standing guard outside one of the sickrooms.
"All the actors from Nightmare Academy are inside that sickroom?" Chen Ge pretended to walk past the sickroom casually. When his eyes scanned the glass window on the sickroom door, his pupils narrowed, and he used Yin Yang Vision.
"Everyone else is there, but how come the boss is nowhere to be seen? Is he still being treated at the emergency room? That's impossible. Lao Zhou and Xu Yin are so kind; they wouldn't kill him. "
Chen Ge knew his employees very well, and he trusted them from the bottom of his heart.
Before the police became suspicious, Chen Ge went to find them. His face was filled with worry and anxiety. "Officer, is my brother alright?"
Seeing Chen Ge gasping for air and filled with worry, even though the police officer was confused, he did not chase him away. "Who is your brother?"
"He's the boss of Nightmare Academy! I heard something happened to him. Is he alright? "
"You're Shang Guan Qing Hong's younger brother?" The police officer signaled for Chen Ge to calm down. "Your brother's condition is not that good. He's still in a deep coma. Following the doctor's suggestion, we've already transferred him to Jiujiang for further treatment."
"You've sent him to Jiujiang?" The shock on Chen Ge's face could not be hidden at all, but his reaction was too fast. He blurted out, "You did not allow him to receive treatment at the big hospital in Xin Hai but sent him to a hospital at a small city. Based on my knowledge, the medical conditions there are far worse than Xin Hai's! You're treating my brother's life like a joke! "
"Don't panic. The overall medical standard in Jiujiang is indeed not as good as in Xin Hai, but when it comes to treating people who have fainted from shock, they are very professional."
"You're not lying to me, are you?"
"You can look it up online. The hospital is called Jiujiang Central Hospital, and there's a sickroom there that specializes in fainting patients."
After getting the information that he wanted, Chen Ge did not communicate with the police officer anymore. He prepared to leave with a worried expression.
"Wait a minute!" The police officer looked at Chen Ge's back, and he suddenly felt that the man looked rather familiar. He seemed to have seen him in the afternoon.
Without turning back, Chen Ge blended into the crowd and entered the stairwell when the police officer was not paying attention.
"This police officer has quite a good memory. I was almost recognized by him." To prevent himself from running into the man again, Chen Ge came to the second floor. He wanted to take a detour before leaving.
However, he only took a few steps when he was stunned. There was a man sitting on a chair outside the door of the luxurious sickroom, and the man was looking at him with a very strange gaze.
"Boss? Didn't you go to visit someone else's haunted house? Why are you at the hospital? "
The man sitting outside the luxurious sickroom was Zhang Jingjiu. That morning, he had asked for leave from Chen Ge, saying that his father was sick, and he wanted to come to Xin Hai to visit him. Coincidentally, Chen Ge was going to visit Nightmare Academy, so the two of them took the same train to Xin Hai.
Chen Ge did not waste too much time on this question. He could not tell Zhang Jingjiu that the hospital was actually his third stop, and he had even taken the police car to the police station in between.
"Has the old man's condition stabilized?" Chen Ge sat next to Zhang Jingjiu and glanced into the sickroom through the window.
"He's fine, I …" Zhang Jingjiu sighed. "Sometimes, I feel so useless. I should have come to visit him sooner. Today, we have had a long chat. Even though the knot in our hearts of more than ten years has not been completely unraveled, at least we have both taken a step forward. "
Staring at the sickroom door, Zhang Jingjiu looked at the old man who had fallen asleep in bed. "Before this, I thought he was an unreasonable b * stard. He had a violent temper, went to social events every day, and did not care about his family. But now that he is lying in bed and has collapsed, I suddenly realized that even someone as powerful as him will grow old. "
Silently turning his head away, Zhang Jingjiu took a moment to calm down before his tone returned to normal. "I'm sorry, I haven't seen him for so long, I'm a bit …"
"It's fine, I understand." Chen Ge patted Zhang Jingjiu's shoulder lightly. He did not say anything and stood quietly to the side.
After Zhang Jingjiu came of age, he had lived alone in Jiujiang. In the whole of Xin Hai, other than his father in the sickroom, he had no other friends. At that moment, the only person who could listen to him was Chen Ge.
When it was almost 6 pm, Zhang Jingjiu called the nurse over and gave her a handwritten letter. He had her pass it to his father, and then he left with Chen Ge.
"Boss, when we were going downstairs, why did the police keep looking at you?"
"Shouldn't you be concerned about why there are police officers at the hospital?"
"That's right, why would there be police officers at the hospital? Has there been some kind of case in Xin Hai? "
"Perhaps."
The two took the last train back to Jiujiang. Once they exited the train station, Chen Ge and Zhang Jingjiu went straight to Western Jiujiang's Haunted House.
Chen Ge had not been at the Haunted House for the whole day, so he was worried that something might have happened.
Zhang Jingjiu, on the other hand, just wanted to help. After all, he had not done anything for the whole day. When he was visiting his father, Chen Ge had even given him a big red packet, telling him to buy something for his father.
Honestly, Zhang Jingjiu was quite touched.
After entering New Century Park and arriving at the entrance of the Haunted House, Chen Ge realized that his worry was unfounded. There was no problem with the business during the day.
Xiao Gu and Xu Wan had already left work after cleaning the place. Scissors followed Xu Shu to help out at other parts of the park, and he got to know the other workers at the park.
Xu Shu was doing this for Scissors' own good. Scissors did not like to talk. Unlike Xiao Gu, if there was no one to guide him, he probably would not interact with the other workers at the park for the rest of his life.
"Xu Shu, did anything happen during the day?" Chen Ge did not expect that there would still be so many workers at the park who had not left work so late at night. They were busy setting up the theme park to prepare for the upcoming holiday season.
"Without you around, everything is so peaceful today. It's much better than before." Xu Shu looked like he was in a good mood.
"Only running water can feed the big fish. We can't let everything be so peaceful forever." Chen Ge had Zhang Jingjiu help out as well while he returned to the Haunted House. He placed the various Red Specters in his backpack back where they were.
This experiment had a huge impact on him. In the future, he could use the day to do other things.
"My workers have already memorized the rules. In the future, they can go and scare people on their own."
After going through all the scenarios and realizing that nothing was wrong, Chen Ge used the comic to summon the few doctors back. He left New Century Park again and hailed a cab to hurry to Xin Hai Central Hospital.
…
Slowly opening his eyes, the hospital's white light shone on his face. The boss of Nightmare Academy, Shang Guan Qing Hong, pursed his pale and cracked lips. Several seconds later, his consciousness slowly returned to him.
His head was heavy, and he felt dizzy. He wanted to raise his hand, but he only managed to do so after several tries.
"Where am I?"
Turning his neck with great effort, Shang Guan Qing Hong saw that he was lying on a bed, and there were two doctors standing next to him.
"This is the intensive care ward of Jiujiang Central Hospital. You have been unconscious for a whole afternoon. We have used many methods to wake you up." The leading doctor signaled for Shang Guan Qing Hong to stop moving. "Rest well. We have already contacted the Xin Hai police. They will probably arrive tomorrow."
"Contact the police? Why would we need to contact the police? "Shang Guan Qing Hong held his head. He felt like he had just woken up from a very realistic nightmare.
"We do not know the exact details. We are just doctors, and we are only responsible for saving lives. You should rest well here. Based on our past experience, this kind of severe coma will come with some side effects. You will need time to recover. "
The doctor gave Shang Guan Qing Hong a few more words before leaving. Until now, Shang Guan Qing Hong still did not understand why he was lying inside a sickroom in Jiujiang.
"Boss, you also went to visit his haunted house?" A familiar voice came from the bed next to him. Shang Guan Qing Hong turned to look and saw a man with a feminine appearance looking at him with a bitter smile.
"Lee Changyin? Why are you here? "Shang Guan Qing Hong did not expect to see his own employee inside the sickroom.
"This sickroom is specifically used to treat the visitors from New Century Park. Not only me, they are all victims of that haunted house." Lee Changyin pointed at the other beds, and only then did Shang Guan Qing Hong realize that this sickroom was very large. It was made up of three sickrooms.
His unconscious state was seen by so many people, and Shang Guan Qing Hong felt quite embarrassed. However, he soon realized that the eyes of these patients did not look at him with mockery. Instead, their eyes were filled with sympathy and understanding.
What is this resonance that comes from the heart?
With a dry cough, Shang Guan Qing Hong forced himself to sit up. "You all fainted inside Western Jiujiang's Haunted House?"
As fellow sufferers sympathized with each other, the patients nodded.
"Changyin, you're here early. Can you introduce me to them?" Shang Guan Qing Hong winked at Lee Changyin.
"The patient in bed one by the window is called Fei Youliang. He is this sickroom's first patient. Now, he has almost fully recovered, but please do not hear anything related to marriage. Once you do, your illness will act up."
"The uncle in bed two is an engineer from the futuristic theme park. He has nightmares every night."
"And bed three …"
Lee Changyin introduced the patients one by one. His words were filled with sadness, and it made Shang Guan Qing Hong feel like crying. This room was filled with victims, and each of them was more pitiful than the last.
"Alright, that's enough." Shang Guan Qing Hong looked at all the patients in the sickroom, and his fists slowly tightened. After a long time, he said, "All of us have the same experience. We are all victims of that haunted house. We cannot let this go so easily!"
Shang Guan Qing Hong was a boss himself. He had been through a lot, and he was not someone who would give up so easily.
"What do you want to do?" The engineer from the futuristic theme park asked. He felt that Shang Guan Qing Hong was different from the other patients.
"I think we can work together. We are all victims. We can write down our experiences and then slowly find the flaws and loopholes." Shang Guan Qing Hong's eyes slowly sharpened. His words attracted the interest of all the patients there.
"Brother, what is your name?" Fei Youliang was the one who had recovered the fastest. Normally, he looked like a normal person.
"Shang Guan Qing Hong."
"Just from the name alone, I can tell that you're not a normal person." Fei Youliang wanted to say something else, but his eyes suddenly swept to the window on the sickroom door. His body shivered involuntarily. He could not believe his eyes.
