Chapter 0128 – Wildcat

　　”The dean disappears, patients vanish, the media receives anonymous letters, and bodies are divided and hidden within the sickbay.”

　　”Ever-changing messages in blood, whispers coming from forbidden rooms, who unlocked the chains on the door at midnight?”

　　”What did they see? Why did they all go mad on the last night? Who was the patient, who was the doctor?”

　　”Screams, shrill howls, cuts, stitches, humanity dismembered, the sun never rises in the darkened sickroom.”

　　Liu Dagger just casually glanced at the message on his cell phone screen, and his heart started to beat faster, feeling like his breathing wasn’t so smooth anymore, “Do you need to reconsider?”

　　Before he came, he was worried that Chen Ge would refuse to cooperate because of salary, scene security, and other issues, so he had prepared a lot of backup plans.

　　Thinking that he could satisfy whatever request the other party made, but after actually talking about it, he realized that things were out of control as soon as they came up.

　　Not only did the haunted house owner not worry about his safety, but he also disliked the scene they provided as too fake, and in the end, he even went online and picked an abandoned hospital that was very scary and horrible to look at!

　　This person is a pervert, right?

　　Liu Dao muttered in his heart, his smile slightly stiffening, “Mr. Chen, I’m afraid that our staff wouldn’t dare to go in this place you picked out, if you think the script isn’t suitable, we can revise it again.”

　　”It’s fine.” Chen Ge waved his hand.

　　”Thank you for understanding, let’s discuss the script then?”

　　”There’s no need for a staff member to accompany me, I can just go in alone.”

　　”Did you misunderstand somewhere!” Liu Dagger’s cold sweat came down as he thought for half a day before organizing his language, “You really want to go live in that place alone in the middle of the night?”

　　”Is there a problem?”

　　Looking at Chen Ge’s flat and calm appearance, Liu Dagger felt that the proposal he had stayed up all night organizing over the past few days was all for nothing, “No problem, you can look at the contract again, and you can mention anything you need to me.”

　　He took out a temporary contract from the black box, Chen Ge scanned a few times, the contract was very loose, the two sides were working together for the first time and decided to try the effect first.

　　Chen Ge was going to push the advertisements provided by Liu Dagger in the live broadcast, and correspondingly, they would fight for platform recommendations and channels for Chen Ge.

　　”I’ve seen all your live broadcasts, everything else is fine, just the equipment is not too professional.” Liu Dagger opened the black case and placed it between the two of them while Chen Ge was looking at the contract: “This is the live broadcasting equipment we lent you, GoPro portable waterproof and shockproof camera, usually used by extreme sports groups for filming during parachute jumping, gliding, and scuba diving, next to it is the non-slip chest strap bracket and the wrist strap to fix the camera, and below that is the handheld fixer and the wireless headset. When you start broadcasting, we will have a special person to help you broadcast, you can also watch it on the short video platform through your own cell phone.”

　　Liu Dagger introduced the things in the black suitcase one by one, “You go back and familiarize yourself with the usage first, the time of Qin Guang’s next spirit visitation hasn’t been determined yet, but it’s definitely within three days. Our live broadcast is scheduled on the same day as him, whether we succeed or fail depends on this fight.”

　　After all, he was competing with a big anchor like Qin Guang for heat, Liu Dao didn’t have much certainty in his heart. So the contract he took out was just a temporary contract that would be voided after one live broadcast.

　　Risk avoidance was the nature of businessmen, which Chen Ge understood, and after signing the contract, Chen Ge took the black box from Liu Dagger.

　　”I’ll notify you when I finalize Qin Guang’s live broadcast time, I hope you’ll be ready.” Liu Dagger extended his hand towards Chen Ge, “Happy cooperation, and be sure to stay safe.”

　　”En.” Seeing Liu Dagger off, Chen Ge put the suitcase into the staff lounge and continued to sell tickets outside.

　　The sky suddenly turned dark at noon, and at around two in the afternoon, light rain drifted in the air.

　　Roads were wet, fewer and fewer tourists, Chen Ge looked at the gradually cold New Century Paradise, the heart of which is not good.

　　The number of people coming to the haunted house every day was increasing, but the overall number of visitors to the park was decreasing, and if the New Century Paradise was shut down, his haunted house would naturally be implicated as well.

　　”The number of horror scenes is far from enough, and it’s too difficult to support the entire park with the haunted houses.” The reason why New Century Paradise could still continue to operate now was because it had no rivals in Jiujiang, but if he waited for the future virtual paradise in the eastern suburbs to be completed, he was afraid that New Century Paradise would be completely abandoned by the tourists.

　　”Boss, what are you thinking about?” Xu Wan walked out of the haunted house with an umbrella and stood next to Chen Ge.

　　”Nothing.” Chen Ge twisted his head to look at Xu Wan, “It’s been a hard day, get off work early, I’m going to get the doll body made too.”

　　After cleaning up, Chen Ge locked the door of the House of Horrors and rushed to the workshop where the dolls were made with his umbrella.

　　Before he reached the place, Chen Ge saw from afar that Boss Qian was squatting on the side of the road, chatting with the big brother selling fried yogurt.

　　”Why did you run outside?”

　　Boss Qian looked up and found that it was Chen Ge, and stood up with great effort, “Brother, how is the high-end customization matter being considered? I have a hunch that you will lead an unprecedented change.”

　　”Not interested.” Chen Ge arrived at the underground workshop and buried his head in making the doll body.

　　”Think about it again, you’re going to be the godfather of an emerging industry!”

　　……

　　At 9:30 pm, the production of all the mannequin bodies was completed, twenty-four headless bodies wrapped in newspaper stood in the workshop, the scene was extremely spectacular.

　　”It’s so real, it’s like art.”

　　”The dolls will be placed here first, I’ll come over tomorrow morning to pull them away.” Chen Ge grabbed Boss Qian’s shoulder, “It’s fine to admire them from a distance, don’t touch them.”

　　After explaining a few things, Chen Ge took his umbrella and left.

　　He walked out from the underground passage, and the rain got heavier and heavier.

　　”Twenty-four solid figures, how is this going to be pulled back? Just ask Uncle Xu to help tomorrow.” He opened his umbrella and walked out along the street, the stores on both sides were packing up, and a few store owners were shouting their children’s names, seemingly preparing to close up and go home.

　　Chen Ge didn’t care at first, until he passed an alley behind the street when he suddenly heard a child crying.

　　Turning his head to look, there were a few boys of a young age standing in the alley, and they were throwing rocks and bottles at a certain place.

　　One of the children seemed to have cut his fingers and was crying while picking up broken bricks from the ground and smashing them into the corner.

　　”Jia Bao, Jia Ming, stop playing and get ready to go home.” A nearby lottery store owner walked to the entrance of the alley and shouted.

　　”Dad, my brother got caught by a cat!” One of the taller boys shouted.

　　”Got caught by a cat? Quickly let me see!” The man hurriedly ran into the alley, Chen Ge hesitated and followed.

　　The man saw that his child’s fingers were scratched, and was heartbroken as he picked up the crying child and kept comforting him.

　　Seeing his father come over, the boy cried louder.

　　”It’s okay, dad will help you take revenge, is it this cat that scratched you?” He picked up the brick on the ground and smashed it, not holding back at all.

　　The brick smashed on the flesh, making a dull sound.

　　Chen Ge blocked the brick with his calf as he stood in the middle of the alley and looked at a rotten cardboard box in the corner.

　　Inside the cardboard box was a white cat with a stained body and scratched from the corner of its eye to its mouth.

　　The cat was fierce, teeth open, scaly, and still clinging to the cardboard box even after blood had flowed into its eyes.

　　”Why isn’t it running?” Chen Ge took a step forward, and only then did he see that in the rotten cardboard box, there were still four kittens, only that all of them were already dead.

　　The kid next to him was holding a sharp branch in his hand, and broken wine bottles and bricks were thrown all over the place, but even so, the cardboard box was still clean.

　　”What’s wrong with you?” The man specialized in getting a broom from the entrance of the alley, and he pushed one hand toward Chen Ge, “Get out of the way!”

　　The calf still hurt a little, and when the man pushed over, Chen Ge didn’t know why, but he forcefully clasped the man’s arm and knocked him down hard, then grabbed his hair with one hand and pressed his head into the mud.

　　The pupils narrowed and Chen Ge’s eyes became extremely frightening, the gaze was like a dead man opening his eyes.

　　Yin pupils!

　　The man originally wanted to resist, but when he saw Chen Ge’s face, he felt cold and his teeth chattered.

　　”There’s something to talk about, good to talk about.” The man threw the broom and paralyzed on the muddy ground, his voice shaking, “There’s surveillance all around here, it’s not worth it for a stray cat, I’ll leave right away.”

　　Eyes slowly returned to normal, Chen Ge loosened his grip.

　　”Jia Bao, Jia Ming.” The man trotted away, and several other children hurriedly followed.

　　The back alley returned to calm, Chen Ge glanced at the rotten cardboard box in the corner, he just wanted to approach. The injured white cat then arched its body, its ears pressed down and its pupils turned into a vertical narrow slit, ready to attack.

　　It was terrified and refused to allow any living person to approach.

　　Slowly squatting down his body, Chen Ge didn’t bother doing things that would make the white cat feel threatened, he just opened the umbrella and placed it on the rotten cardboard box.
