Chapter 0213 – Boss Chen is quick-witted
”Boss Chen, just tell me the truth, what exactly happened to my brother? Will his disease recur in the future?”
The more Chen Ge spoke ambiguously, the more uncertain Wang Hailong’s heart became.
”It won’t relapse because that thing isn’t a disease.” Chen Ge signaled Wang Hailong to calm down, “Don’t think so much, the priority now is to help Wang Shenglong live a normal life.”
Wang Hailong still wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Chen Ge, “Your brother hasn’t been in contact with the outside world for a long time, he seems to have gotten used to closing himself off, which is not good for him to return to a normal life, if you can, you’d better take him out more often.”
Chen Ge deeply sympathized with Wang Shenglong’s encounter, a good kid, but as a result, he has now become like this, afraid that others will be intimidated by his appearance, hiding in the corner of the van and not daring to come out.
”I discussed this with my dad yesterday, but how can Shenglong go out and meet people with this appearance now? Taking him out and being pointed at, wouldn’t that stab his heart even more?” Wang Hailong was also quite worried, although the long and thin ghostly shadow left, the damage it caused to the boy needed time to heal.
”Didn’t I recommend a psychiatrist to you guys last time? You guys can find him to help you with these problems.”
Chen Ge looked at Wang Shenglong who didn’t say a word in the corner, and was quite upset: “It takes a process to communicate with the outside world, so if there’s anything you need my help with at that time, just ask.”
Turning to leave, about how to help Wang Shenglong return to normal life, Chen Ge had an immature idea in his heart: “This kid is scary on the outside, but soft on the inside, if he doesn’t have a place to go in the future, he can come to my haunted house to be an actor, Xu Wan is petite, and she doesn’t have enough momentum when she plays the role of a homicidal maniac, while Wang Shenglong’s appearance is more in line with the tourists’ perception of a ‘homicidal maniac’. ‘homicidal maniac’ imagination.”
Back at the House of Horrors, the resting shed had already been built for a third of the way, the seats were all set out, and many tourists preferred to sit in line outside rather than visit other programs in order to get into the haunted house experience earlier.
”Little Chen, this haunted house of yours is completely on fire.” Uncle Xu sighed heartily, “I even heard a few people with foreign accents who saw some video on the internet and took the train for a few hours to specially run here to visit.”
”The fame has been made, now it’s just a matter of getting down to business, bringing a frightening experience to all the tourists, letting the word of mouth ferment, and in the future, every tourist will become a free advertisement for the House of Horrors.”
Chen Ge has his own plans in his heart, fear is the most impressive of all emotions, after a person encounters something scary, ninety percent of them will share it with those around them and tell them about the scary thing, so that unconsciously it will attract more interested people to try it.
There are times when a simple sentence of too scary is actually the highest evaluation of a haunted house.
Chen Ge entered the Midnight Escape scene as a homicidal maniac, and Xu Wan played the bride in the Underworld Wedding. Two or three hours later, there were already a lot of people who had cleared the two scenes, and some of them were too scared out of their wits to continue their visit, while others regrouped after they had slowed down and started to challenge the Twilight Sun Middle School.
Chen Ge was worried about visitors having accidents in Twilight Sun Middle School, and every time, he would thoughtfully follow behind in his Dr. Cranium Shatterer uniform, secretly protecting them.
A morning passed, and so far, the highest record set by the tourists was six people going in together and finding fourteen school signs in twenty-five minutes.
Many people entered Twilight Sun High School and ran back out when they realized that the atmosphere of the scene was completely different from the rest of the scene. The underground scene didn’t have an iron gate set up, so you could exit at any time, but if you wanted to go back in, you’d have to queue up again to buy a ticket to do so.
”Isn’t the twenty school license passes I set a little too difficult?” Chen Ge was also reflecting on the fact that everything he did was to serve the tourists, “The mannequins ate away the screams and fears of the tourists, and they seem to have become more animated in only a few days, and at this rate, I don’t know if anyone will be able to get into the third sick building to visit for a week.”
After careful consideration, Chen Ge reduced the clearance conditions to sixteen, but as of the noon break, there were still no tourists clearing the pass.
”This batch of tourists are too timid, I miss those students from the medical school a bit.” Chen Ge pulled up the guardrail and was helping Xu Wan remove her makeup.
”You miss people, but they don’t necessarily miss you.” Uncle Xu stood outside the door, counting the tickets, “These last few days have been pretty good, just keep it up like this, don’t keep scaring tourists into fainting and vomiting over nothing, making me wary too.”
”Don’t worry, I’ll try to control it in the future.” Chen Ge had just finished speaking when his cell phone rang, he looked down and found it was from Heshan: “It happened to be at this time that he came to call, is this a hint to me?”
Sitting on the steps, Chen Ge casually answered it.
”Boss! The person in charge of that haunted house last time, wants your phone number, can you give it to him?”
”Want my number?”
”Yes. After you left after smashing the scene that day, there was chaos outside Tanto Hospital for a long time. The visitors split into two groups. One part felt that Tanto Sick House was blown out of proportion and yelled for refunds, wanting to go to your haunted house. Another part of the people were loyal fans of Tanto Hospital, saying something like it’s normal for those who run haunted houses to soak in them every day and not be scared ……”
”Wait, what does this have to do with the head of Tanto Hospital wanting my phone number?”
”Of course it’s related! In order not to let his own fans down, the head of Tanto Sickness Hospital promised through gritted teeth that he would come to visit your haunted house, proving that people who stay in haunted houses all year round really won’t be too scared when they enter someone else’s house.” Heshan’s voice came out from the other side of the phone, Chen Ge felt that this kid had learned the hard way and spoke in an excited tone.
”They’re already ready to visit your haunted house tomorrow morning, and Tanto Sick House’s own fans will come along as well, wanting to videotape the whole thing to slap those ticket refunding tourists in the face.”
Hearing this Chen Ge was somewhat speechless, “Is that a group of black fans?”
”I don’t know, I’m just passing a message to you.”
”Okay, give him my phone number, we are both opening haunted houses, it’s good to communicate more.”
Not long after hanging up Heshan’s phone, Chen Ge’s cell phone rang again, this time it was an unfamiliar number.
”Hello?”
”Boss Chen, I’m the person in charge of the Tanto Hospital, we’ve met before.”
”En, what’s the matter?”
”Tomorrow we want to visit your haunted house, there will be fans with us at that time, I still hope that Boss Chen will be merciful.”
”Good to say, you know me, I’m not the kind of person with a narrow mind, you guys come to play, all the scenes are randomly chosen by yourselves.”
”Boss Chen is quick!” The head of the Tanto Sickness Hospital followed closely, “Then let’s pick a moderately difficult scene when the time comes, not too scary and not too easy.”
