Chapter 0034 – Good Intentions

　　Chen Ge sat alone in the dark single room, talking to himself to the four dolls in front of him, the picture was a little weird, fortunately this scene was not seen by outsiders.

　　”I don’t know why you all appeared in my house of horrors, and I’m not sure how to address you, but one thing I can assure you is that I have no ill intentions.”

　　With only Chen Ge’s own voice echoing in the room, he looked at the four muppets in front of him and had a very conflicting thought.

　　At the same time, he hoped that they would react and agree with what he had said, but at the same time, he was afraid that the dolls would suddenly move on their own and do something dangerous.

　　After a few seconds passed, Chen Ge felt that he was overthinking things, and he decided to take a different approach, “The Midnight Escape scenario simulates the Ping An Apartment from five years ago, and the four of you should be the victims in the extermination case ……”

　　Possibly mentioning a sore spot, Chen Ge obviously felt the temperature in the room drop by a few points, the lock on the room door closed automatically at some point, and all the furniture around him shook gently.

　　”Now that case has been solved! That crazy person who hurt you and ruined your good life is being severely punished by the law!” Chen Ge was slightly flustered as he took out his cell phone and clicked on that news video online, “You guys, the murderer has been caught, and the person who caught him is me!”

　　Chen Ge was clear that the obsession of the four muppets was related to Wang Qi, so he tried to prove that he was the one who caught the murderer through the video, but the effect was weak.

　　The atmosphere in the room became more and more tense, the air was heavy, Chen Ge was dry and anxious with no way out, the inability of both sides to communicate was the biggest problem.

　　The situation was not right, but Chen Ge was not prepared to back off, this house of horrors was all he had, if he allowed the four muppets to mess around in it, there were too many unknowns, it might cause a serious accident one day.

　　”Calm down! I’m here to help you guys!” The muppets couldn’t listen to Chen Ge at all, and it was useless for him to say anything more.

　　”Looks like we can only try this thing.” Chen Ge took out Wang Qi’s missing person notice from his pocket, this yellowed thin paper was stained with some blood, other than that, there was nothing else special about it.

　　But strangely enough, after Chen Ge took out this missing person notice, the movement in the room suddenly became much smaller, and the atmosphere was no longer heavy, like the hand on the neck was slowly loosening a bit.

　　”What you guys want is this?” The efficacy of the search notice was even better than Chen Ge had imagined, he placed the piece of paper in his hand in the middle of the four muppets, and after the bodies of the muppets touched the yellowed paper, the search notice seemed to be blown by the winds, and began to desperately “struggle”.

　　The situation in front of us was very strange, a piece of paper was surrounded by four muppets, and there was obviously no wind in the room, but they were all trembling.

　　Chen Ge watched closely, a few minutes later, the search notice vaguely emerged on the outline of a human face, as if and Wang Qi looks somewhat similar.

　　Without waiting for Chen Ge to take a closer look, the face was torn apart and drilled into the bodies of each of the four dolls, and then calmness was completely restored in the room.

　　”It’s gone?”

　　The black cell phone in his pocket vibrated, Chen Ge took it out and a brand new message appeared on the screen.

　　”Midnight Escape Scene Unique Hidden Mission completed! Knight Ghost goodwill plus one, gained the goodwill of the remnants of the victims of the Peaceful Apartment, they will clean up all the garbage for you every day and keep the Midnight Escape Scene in its original form.”

　　Looking at the message on his cell phone screen, Chen Ge stood in place for a long time without speaking, “This completes the Uniqueness Hidden Quest?”

　　His mind was a bit messed up, “Trial missions with more than ninety percent completion will only reward hidden props, and hidden props are the key to completing the scene’s hidden mission! That means if I want to completely control the newly unlocked horror scenes in the haunted house, I have to complete the corresponding trial quests to more than ninety percent before I can do so.”

　　Now that he thought about what happened to him in the Peaceful Apartment, if he hadn’t gone after the truth, he might have been able to survive the night safely as well, but in that case the mission completion would be extremely low, and it would be impossible to get the hidden props at all.

　　”Insidious, this setting is clearly encouraging players to die.” Chen Ge flipped through his black cell phone, wanting to check more information, he first tapped on the column of the Ghosts and Monsters team, to his disappointment the team members still showed zero.

　　”The quest suggests that I have gained the goodwill of the victim remnants of the Peaceful Apartment, but nothing shows up in the Ghosts and Monsters team column, is this because they haven’t fully surrendered yet? Or is it that the Victim Remnants aren’t even considered to be ghosts and monsters at all, so they’re not eligible to be included among the black phones?”

　　Chen Ge couldn’t figure it out, and he clicked on the props library again, realizing that Wang Qi’s missing person notice was still there, only that the grudge value on it had already cleared to zero.

　　”What exactly is a grievance value? Why would the victim’s residual thoughts tear it apart and eat it away?”

　　The door to the unknown world was slowly opening, and Chen Ge didn’t care if these things were useful or not, keeping them firmly in his mind.

　　He wiped the sweat from his forehead and stood up from the ground, “The victim remnants can’t be communicated with, but they can help me maintain the scene in its original state, and overall the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.”

　　Maintaining the haunted house scene props was a tedious task, and the appearance of the victim remnants saved Chen Ge a great deal of time.

　　Looking at the four muppets on the ground, the last trace of fear in Chen Ge’s heart slowly dissipated, “Hiring ghosts and monsters to come and work in my house of horrors might actually be realized in the future.”

　　He walked to the door and glanced back uneasily, the dolls representing his parents and sister were all lying where they were, only the smallest muppet was lying alone on the side, sneaking around, seemingly ready to sneak out again.

　　Seeing this scene, Chen Ge guffawed, not all ghosts and monsters in the world were evil and brutal, just like this smallest ragdoll in front of him, it was like a cat that was curious about everything, naughty and timid.

　　”Little guy, don’t run around, be careful of being stepped on.” Chen Ge walked out after saying that, after helping the victims of the Peaceful Apartment fulfill their wishes, he had a deeper understanding of the black cell phone, “The unlocked horror scenes in the cell phone shouldn’t just be used to scare people, each scene has its own backstory involving karmic entanglements, and at the same time, it is sort of a place for the homeless ones to live, isn’t it? ”

　　Turning off his flashlight, Chen Ge walked down the darkened hallway, running out a long way to make sure that no one could hear him, the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose, revealing a fox-like smile, “Not needing a salary or subsidy, not crying out to be tired or getting upset, and being a natural expert in scaring people, these guys are simply the perfect employees!”

　　People were happy, Chen Ge felt more energized to scare people.

　　”After dragging it out for so long, it’s time to end it, there are now three people left in the haunted house, let me think about who to start with?”
