Chapter 0193 – It’s Getting More and More Fun

　　Tape recorders were very popular in the 1980s and 1990s, but with the rapid development of the times and the internet, they had long been eliminated.

　　Tanto Hospital probably wanted to show that sense of age, so it placed a lot of old objects in this room, with the more conspicuous ones being the tape recorder and the old flashlight.

　　This scene reminded Chen Ge of a certain ghost movie he had watched a long time ago, and the plot seemed to be that at midnight, the tape recorder made a sound on its own, and the people who heard the sound ended up having accidents.

　　”Is it a prop?” Chen Ge completely ignored the “dead body” lying motionless on the table, passed by him and walked towards the bookcase.

　　When he was only a meter away from the bookcase, the button on the recorder suddenly pressed down on its own.

　　”Heat sensing? No, it should be the staff manipulating it remotely.” Chen Ge twisted his head to look at the corpse, which was lying on the table, burying its head deep among its arms.

　　More than the dead body, Chen Ge was more curious about the recorder in front of him, after the button was pressed down, the indicator light lit up, accompanied by the sound of electricity, a middle-aged man’s voice appeared.

　　”Let me go! Please, I beg you all! Please!”

　　The man was crying out, death had become a luxury for him.

　　Accompanying his pleas for mercy, the sound of cutting and tearing kept coming out of the recorder, very bloody and direct, and when Chen Ge heard it, he almost immediately fantasized images like that in his mind.

　　Bones being smashed and broken, skin being slashed open, it was simply the most brutal criminal law.

　　”When Tanto Hospital passed the trial, they must have hidden the contents of the recording.”

　　The dead body lying on the table moved gently when it heard Chen Ge’s words, the fact was similar to Chen Ge’s guess, the content of the tape had been replaced, this was the highest difficulty experience specially prepared for Chen Ge.

　　For fear and thrill Chen Ge was used to it, but the sheer gore and cruelty made him feel some discomfort, a reaction that a normal person would have.

　　”Why isn’t it over yet? Is this preparing to use the recording as background music?” Chen Ge listened down patiently because he guessed that there were clues to pass the level hidden in the recording, but after listening for almost a minute, it was still just sounds of masochism and begging for mercy.

　　”Heavy bleeding for a minute would have long since gone into shock, how can you still maintain such exuberance? The voice actor they hired is pretty good though, creating this atmosphere of desperation.”

　　Hearing the end, the man’s voice grew weaker and weaker as he began to make a confession at the behest of something.

　　It wasn’t until then that Chen Ge realized that the victim was the director of the Tanto Hospital, a guy who would do anything to make money.

　　”I didn’t expect it to be a story where good is rewarded and evil is punished.” Chen Ge patiently heard the end, where the dean confessed to all the sins he had committed, and before he died, he begged the monsters bitterly, hoping that those monsters would not go and hurt his daughter.

　　There was a twist in the story, just as the dean’s side had suggested not to hurt his daughter, the recording rang with the sound of a door opening, and then a woman’s scream, followed by the dean being heard shouting – Zhen Zhen run!

　　The recording ended here, and Chen Ge didn’t know how to evaluate this story.

　　The dean was guilty, the daughter might be innocent or an accomplice, but none of that mattered.

　　What mattered was that the daughter happened to see it all while the monster was torturing the dean, so she might end up being tortured to death as well.

　　”All the modeling dolls in the Tanto Hospital have the three words Xu Zhenzhen written on them, what exactly does that mean?” Tanto Hospital is very famous in the circle, and the haunted house scenes are all designed by a team of experienced professionals, so there must be a killer hidden in such a large mobile haunted house of the highest difficulty challenge.

　　”The actors in the haunted house play fake ghosts, is it possible that all they did was to fictionalize a real ghost?”

　　From the “female corpse” hanging in the corridor upon entering the haunted house to the model with missing organs in the autopsy room, Tanto Hospital had left the name Xu Zhenzhen in various places, and Chen Ge had already guessed some of the reasons why they had done so.

　　”As realistic as the actor’s make-up is, visitors can tell the real from the fake when they touch it, so they probably wanted to come up with a ‘real ghost’ that couldn’t be touched but felt like it was always following them, and the one who took on this role was Xu Zhenzhen.”

　　Tanto Hospital’s idea was good and brought Chen Ge a lot of inspiration, “It’s not easy to want a real ghost?”

　　Chen Ge looked at the tape that was about to finish playing, and reached out to press the button on the tape recorder, his back was to the “dead body”, no one in the room knew what he was going to do.

　　”There are no tape recorders for sale on the market at all, so I can only take my chances at yard sales, and now that I’ve easily come across a working one, it’s the perfect time to try out this tape of mine.”

　　He put the tape he drew from the turntable into the middle of the tape recorder and pressed the play button.

　　The tape began to spin and no sound came out of the recorder.

　　”A blank tape?” Chen Ge waited for a while without turning off the tape as he circled around the room, seemingly enjoying the process of solving the mystery.

　　Having just come out of a place like the Third Ward Building, entering Tanto Ward was practically a vacation, Chen Ge felt that his body and mind were greatly relaxed: “Haunted houses are indeed a good place for modern people to release their stress, when I go back, I’ll change the tagline on the official website.”

　　After circling around the house, Chen Ge picked up a few yellowed newspapers on the ground, he swept a glance and realized that the newspaper didn’t seem to be a forgery, it was labeled with the date, it was a newspaper from a few years ago.

　　”Xinhai Morning News?” Chen Ge became interested, what this newspaper was talking about seemed to be true.

　　Four years ago, a woman ran to the abandoned hospital and committed suicide, after investigation, the name of the deceased was Xu Zhenzhen, her father was the director of that hospital, and her father had committed suicide in his own office in fear of committing a crime more than ten years ago.

　　The same place, different people, this bizarre suicide case in Xinhai also caused a sensation.

　　The coroner determined that the woman had committed suicide, but shortly after her death, distinct red handprints began to appear on her body, which looked very strange.

　　In the end the case was closed and there wasn’t a follow up.

　　”The name of the deceased is Xu Zhenzhen, it seems that this is the hidden egg in the Tanto Hospital.” Chen Ge put down the newspaper, tourists who were timid and screamed all the way there were unlikely to find these things.

　　It was the bold ones who would search in detail, and when they knew that Xu Zhenzhen was a real person, there would be holes in their psyche, and they would start to self-doubt, constantly giving themselves psychological hints to aggravate their inner fears.

　　The design idea of the Tanto Sick House was very comprehensive, it was just a pity that those designers who had been practicing for more than ten years didn’t expect that they would meet a visitor like Chen Ge one day.

　　”This haunted house is getting more and more fun.” Chen Ge recalled the map he had seen in the security room, he had now traveled through two thirds of the scene and was getting closer to the exit.
