Chapter 0050 The Meaning of Numbers
Adjusting the angle, Chen Ge took a lot of effort to see the blood on the bathroom mirror clearly, it was an Arabic numeral – “2”.
The number itself wasn’t scary, but writing it in blood made people feel uncomfortable.
”What does this number mean? After the monster in the mirror left last night, I saw a number ‘3’ on the remaining lens, and today it became ‘2’, is there some kind of relationship between the two? Why is it gradually decreasing?” Chen Ge was a bit puzzled, “Could this number represent the date? Is it counting down?”
Looking at the bloodstains that hadn’t completely dried up, Chen Ge leaned against the door of the room and fell into deep thought.
”The monster in the mirror has already left, and it hosted Zhang Peng’s body, there’s absolutely no need to purposely leave this number behind again, unless it’s still prepared to run back to take revenge on me.” Chen Ge was a little puzzled, he knew too little about things in the other world to speculate on the other party’s intentions.
”If this number decreases every day, what will happen if I wait for it to clear?” A bad premonition appeared in Chen Ge’s heart, and he walked around the bathroom door, “Will the number be linked to my life? The night the number clears to zero, something horrible will come after me?”
Stopping in his tracks, Chen Ge felt that he was the one who was overly nervous, “Let’s wait and see tomorrow night, if the number appears again in the haunted house, I’ll take action then.”
Sighing, he just wanted to run the haunted house well, lease the underground parking lot, unlock more scenes, and keep the haunted house growing, but heaven forbid, there were always accidents that happened and disrupted his plans.
Back to the staff lounge, outside the haunted house came a few more police cars, the city precinct criminal investigation team arrived and asked Chen Ge some questions, simply took a few pictures, and then put into the intense pursuit.
Li team has been accompanied by Chen Ge, but unfortunately, until the dawn, there is no news of Zhang Peng fell into the net.
However, Team Li repeatedly assured Chen Ge that with Zhang Peng’s current state, it is impossible for him to run too far, and that he will definitely be captured within twenty-four hours.
This was not really what Chen Ge was worried about, he had been pondering over the numbers left behind by the monster in the mirror, so he was not very excited.
Team Li thought that he was frightened and didn’t think otherwise, comforting him with a few words and leaving with the rest of the team at dawn.
Chen Ge sat alone in the haunted house, he opened the window and let the cold morning wind blow into his collar.
”I’m the haunted house owner, and I’m considered the head of the ghosts and monsters when all is said and done, but why do I feel like I’m mixed up in a bad way.” The morning light shone into the house, and the muppet that was placed on the bed sheet seemed to have been blown by the wind and fell under the bed.
Chen Ge picked up this little guy and poked its stomach, “The only obedient Lich Demon, can’t do anything but act cute, if we really fight, I guess I’ll have to protect her.”
The muppet in her hand seemed to be very dissatisfied with Chen Ge’s evaluation of her, wanting to break free but unable to do so.
”The rewards from two consecutive nightmare level quests are both auxiliary in nature, useful for the development of the haunted house, but not very helpful to myself.” Chen Ge was now unsure of what would happen after the numbers cleared, he was a very cautious person and would never put himself in danger.
Taking out his black cell phone, Chen Ge flipped through it for half a day and realized that the only thing that could act as a base card was that powerful-looking red-robed stern ghost, Zhang Ya.
In the wooden hut at the back of Ping An Apartment, Zhang Ya had helped Chen Ge once, prompting him that Wang Qi was right behind him, and had sort of saved his life.
However, when he was doing the nightmare quest, the monster in the mirror pressed his hand on Chen Ge’s head and was about to drown him, but he didn’t see Zhang Ya appear.
From this, it could be seen that that one acted solely on her own preferences.
”By completing the goodwill quest, I can order her to do something that doesn’t go against my own wishes, and at that time, I’ll be able to ask her to step in and help me deal with any dangers that may arise.” Chen Ge clicked on Zhang Ya’s name and looked at the blood-red exclusive page, even though he had been exercising his guts since he was a child, he was also a bit terrified at this moment, “This sister likes me after death, and the favoritism rises too quickly, what if she can’t wait and kills me in turn?”
The love of a stern ghost is not something that anyone can withstand, Chen Ge exited the exclusive page and felt that the air had become much fresher, “The favorability mission is considered my last card, if that number still appears tonight and changes again, then I’ll use this card to complete the favorability mission.”
After making the decision, Chen Ge had a bottom in his heart and slowly fell asleep.
After Xu Wan came to work at eight o’clock or so, Chen Ge left the haunted house to her to take care of, and took the money to pick out the surveillance himself.
He was in such a hurry to buy it, partly because there were too many blind spots in the haunted house now, which was very unsafe; on the other hand, it was because among the daily tasks that the black cell phone had updated out, there was one that happened to require him to install monitoring and voice-activated devices.
After the purchase was completed in the morning, Chen Ge led the installation workers back to the house of horrors at noon, accompanied by him personally, several workers fearfully installed the monitoring in all corners of the haunted house, forming a set of monitoring network with very few dead corners. As for the voice-activated device, because his funds were really limited, he just purchased the cheapest one and installed it in the middle of the wedding scene.
At more than seven o’clock in the evening, after the last debugging was successful, Chen Ge received a black cell phone mission completion tip.
”Tension and relaxation is the only way to bring the best experience to visitors, congratulations on completing the simple difficulty daily task and obtaining the reward – the background track ‘Wedding Dress’!”
”Note: ‘The Wedding Dress’ and the Underworld Wedding Scene fit perfectly! The Underworld Wedding Scene Scream Index has risen to one star!”
Seeing the cell phone prompt, Chen Ge froze for a moment, the original Scream Index of the Underworld Wedding Scene was only half a star, but now it had risen to one star because of a song, thus showing that this song was probably going to be even more} crowd-pleasing than Black Friday.
In the attitude of responsible for the tourists, Chen Ge tried to listen to it, feeling and Black Friday are two styles, a slow heat, as if facing the abyss was dragged into it a little bit; the other is more bizarre and stimulating, the happy song turned into a funeral song, from the first sound let people’s scalp numb.
”It really goes well with the underworld wedding scene, but listening to such a tune often will easily traumatize the psyche, in the future, if someone doesn’t come to smash the scene, it’s better to use it as little as possible.” Chen Ge deposited the Wedding Dress into his cell phone, and came alone to the third floor of the haunted house to start cleaning.
He didn’t have any extra money to hire workers, and with a few rag dolls stuffed in his pockets, he took his tools and cleaned out all the pieces of mirrors in the haunted house.
After finishing all this it was already late at night, Chen Ge held the phone and wandered between the bathroom and the employee lounge.
He looked at the mirror over and over again and waited until twelve midnight.
