Bao Xu asked, "Boss Pei, you should have a design plan for the new haunted house project, right? I want to take a look. "
Pei Qian nodded immediately and found the design plan for the new haunted house project on the computer.
Chen Kangtuo, Ruan Guangjian, and Ma Yiqun might have designed the project together, but Boss Pei had to make the final decision since it was a plan for the Thriller Hostel.
Pei Qian looked at the plan briefly and felt that it was very promising. Thus, he did not raise any opinions and approved it directly.
It was completely understandable that Bao Xu wanted to take a look at the plan now. After all, he was going to enter the haunted house to be the chief tester. It was reasonable for him to understand the situation in advance.
However, Pei Qian did not expect Bao Xu to jump directly to the interactive content without looking carefully at the details after getting the plan.
The haunted house project this time was called 'Traveler in a Foreign Land'. The plot was not complicated. It was about one or a group of tourists from a foreign land coming to a strange version of Jingzhou in another dimension and staying in the Thriller Hostel.
However, the businesses that they could come into contact with, including Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Fish-Catching Take-Out, Deposit Fitness, and so on, had all become places occupied by terrifying ghosts. Their names had also changed to Fiendish Prison Internet Cafe, Fiendish Prison Take-Out, Coffin Dragging Fitness, and so on.
In addition, there were many more intuitive and terrifying border areas such as the Evil Ghost Abyss and the Netherworld Swim which were more thrilling and exciting!
There were only two ways to escape this terrifying world. One was to survive in it for a certain period of time, and the other was to find clues everywhere to solve the mystery and leave.
This project could be participated by a single person or many people. The difficulty would change.
The staff would act as all kinds of ghosts to scare the tourists. There were specialized ghosts in every area. Most of the time, they only patrolled their own territory. The tourists had to avoid these ghosts if they wanted to get clues.
However, under some special circumstances, these ghosts could also gather together, depending on some special mechanism in the game.
For example, if the tourists found a key clue, the ghosts would gather together to clean it up. The tourists had to hide patiently and not be discovered.
There were actually many things that the tourists could do under such a mechanism. They could choose to act separately. Each person would be in charge of an area to quickly collect clues and then summarize and decrypt them. They could also choose to grab the key clue first. After a few warriors lured all the ghosts away, the others would go to the corresponding location to search for other clues.
The staff who played the role of the ghosts would not maintain a fixed route like the robots. They could make some adjustments and changes according to their preferences within certain rules, making the entire game more exciting and unpredictable.
Bao Xu only glanced at the first part of the puzzle. He focused all his attention on the ghost and monster role-playing part.
After memorizing all these, Bao Xu pondered for a moment before saying, "Boss Pei, I hope that you can appoint two people from the list of staff to act as ghosts."
"One is the ghost actor who appeared directly in the list. Qiao Liang will be the one. The other person who does not need to appear on the list but will still enter the Haunted House will be Ruan Guangjian. "
"I want to speak to the two of them privately, separately."
Pei Qian nodded. "Sure."
…
…
July 24, Wednesday.
Thriller Hostel's new haunted house project, "Traveler in a Foreign Land", had officially entered the trial operation phase of internal testing.
It was not open to the public this time because it was in the internal testing phase. Instead, Bao Xu was the chief experience officer of this project to experience the entire project.
According to Chen Kangtuo's plan, of course, he hoped that Bao Xu would stay in the "Traveler in a Foreign Land" project for a full month.
After all, he had suffered for two whole months during the Suffering Trip. That was already half of it.
However, considering the special nature of this project, Chen Kangtuo and the other people in charge also unanimously agreed that the internal testing would end early as long as Brother Bao could find clues as soon as possible and leave this place.
After all, they were not real demons. They still had a responsible brotherly relationship with Brother Bao.
Therefore, the internal testing activity might not be long. It might be a month or a week. It all depended on Brother Bao's speed.
Of course, the people in charge would also deliberately adjust this speed so that Brother Bao would not be able to pass so easily.
Especially considering that Brother Bao might have secretly seen the design plan of the entire project and had a good idea of where many clues might appear. That was all the more reason for this project to have the desired effect.
The people in charge considered that they could change the location of the clues slightly when they were acting as ghosts to make the entire game more intense and exciting. Otherwise, wouldn't it be very embarrassing for Brother Bao to clear it in two days?
Under Chen Kangtuo's call, many people in charge actively participated. Even Qiao Liang actively signed up.
Qiao Liang was famous for his timidity. He had also experienced a fierce ideological struggle in order to pass the Ultimate Horror project. Chen Kangtuo could feel Qiao Liang's anger like everyone else because of the enthusiasm for the registration this time. Thus, he readily agreed.
Chen Kangtuo customized special clothes for these people in charge so that they could pretend to be ghosts when they wore them.
These leather covers were very well-made. In the dark and terrifying environment of the haunted house, the degree of fright would be off the charts.
However, it would not be a big problem if they wore it themselves. As long as they did not look in the mirror, everything would be fine.
At that moment, Chen Kangtuo was communicating with the people in charge in the office of Thriller Hostel.
"Let me confirm one last time. Everyone is responsible for your own area and remember the traps inside. Don't scare yourself."
"Each of us will be given a small communicator. I will give real-time instructions through the earpiece. Everyone can move freely, but you must follow my instructions when you hear instructions."
"We must accompany Brother Bao well this time, understand?"
The people in charge said in unison, "Understood!"
Among these people in charge were Xiao Peng, Rui Yuchen, Huang Sibo, Guo Licheng, and so on. Some other people in charge, such as Min Jingchao, wanted to come as well, but they could not leave because of their busy work. Thus, they could only wish the closed beta activity a successful completion.
There were all kinds of traps in every area with a certain trigger mechanism.
The staff who acted as ghosts must remember all kinds of traps in advance to avoid triggering them. Or at least, they must be mentally prepared in advance so that they would not be scared even if they were triggered.
Otherwise, would it be appropriate for them to accidentally cause high blood pressure and neurasthenia before the tourists came?
Xiao Peng smiled slightly. "Don't worry, we've been looking forward to this day for a long time! We've also seen the detailed plan and went to the site two days ago. It's absolutely foolproof! "
Chen Kangtuo nodded.
The difference between these people in charge and Bao Xu was that Bao Xu might only be able to inquire about part of the design plan. It should be difficult for him to see the complete plan. Even if he saw the complete plan, there was no way for him to go to the site.
There was still a big difference between looking at the design plan and going to the site for a haunted house.
Many scary things were mainly visual. After seeing it once, the horror effect would be greatly reduced the next time they saw it.
The people in charge had explored the haunted house several times in the past two days and knew the locations of various key props and traps.
Compared to Bao Xu, who entered for the first time, they had an advantage.
Thinking of this, Chen Kangtuo ordered, "Okay, everyone split up and put on the props. Let's go inside and gather."
…
Half an hour later, the people in charge were in place.
Each of them was in charge of a small area, and the ghost leather they wore was very similar to the style of this area. A cat could blend in perfectly and be difficult to be discovered.
This allowed them to gain a great advantage in battle.
The ghost leather was very functional. Not only did these people in charge wear Bluetooth headphones to communicate with each other at any time, but they also had a micro sound device on them that could make very terrifying sounds.
In this way, there would not be a situation where tourists forcibly approached them and the people in charge who acted as ghosts could not scare them away.
"Everyone, get into position. Brother Bao is entering from the main door."
Chen Kangtuo's voice came through the headphones. Many people in charge immediately became alert. Some hid in the traps, and some found a corner to blend in with the environment, patiently waiting for Bao Xu's arrival.
…
At this time, Bao Xu walked into the entrance of the Traveler in a foreign land with his head held high.
He looked as calm as an old dog on the surface, but he was actually panicking.
Although Bao Xu had briefly seen the design plan of the entire project, there was still a big difference between remembering the design plan and being there.
Looking at the sinister layout around him, he felt as if he was stepping into a mysterious, unknown, and dangerous space step by step. The fear in the depths of his heart was naturally aroused, making it difficult for him to remain calm.
However, Bao Xu was also trying hard to tell himself that there must be cameras everywhere. Chen Kangtuo and his group must be monitoring his actions, ready to see him make a fool of himself. Therefore, he must not show his fear.
After walking in from the entrance, there was first a long passage.
The design of the 'Traveler in a foreign land' project was not the same as the previous projects.
The previous three haunted house projects had been directly modified from a single abandoned factory, of which the Ultimate Horror used the largest factory.
This time, the 'Traveler in a foreign land' project used several factories, but they were all connected by a special passage in the middle.
This way, there was no need to worry that tourists would feel like they were in a play when they went from one factory to another. At the same time, it created a dangerous and oppressive atmosphere, making people feel like they were completely trapped in a space-time that was isolated from the world.
After passing through the long passage, Bao Xu felt that his tense nerves could not take it anymore.
The central area of this project was the largest, and it could be seen as the so-called living area. There were more common industries such as Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Fish-Catching Take-Out, and so on.
There were some more dangerous places around it, such as the Netherworld Pool, the Evil Ghost Abyss, and so on. These were places where some difficult clues were located, and one needed to pass through some passages to reach them.
Tourists walked from the long passage at the entrance to the central area of the entire haunted house. After entering, the long passage would be temporarily closed.
Therefore, after walking through such a long and terrifying passage, a lot of mental pressure had accumulated even though no scary ghosts appeared.
When they walked to the end of the long passage, the gate behind them closed with a loud 'click'.
When it sounded, most tourists could not help but scream. This was the first scare of the new 'Traveler in a foreign land' project.
