Chapter 0221 – Going to the Wrong Movie Set
”Finally about to come to the end, no wonder Boss Chen called this the third sick building, staying in this place for a long time, even if you don’t go crazy, you’re going to suffocate.”
”I really doubt how their employees here are holding up? Working in such a truly depressing environment every day, looking at those hysterical bloody words on the walls, would they develop psychological problems?”
”I forgot if you didn’t say it, it’s been ten minutes since we came in, and it seems like we haven’t seen a single haunted house actor.”
”All cut the crap, we’re about to reach the corner, be careful of what suddenly jumps out.”
Several tourists spent six or seven minutes to walk to the end of the long corridor, their bodies pressed against the wall, when they looked over towards the corner of the corridor, one of them was dumbfounded.
”Why is it still a corridor?”
Pretty much the same layout, mottled walls, cracked floors, ubiquitous blood writing, and a dummy wrapped in bedding on the floor.
The only difference was that the walls had deepened in color, and when you looked inward along the cracked gaps, you would find something like blood threads.
”Scene loop?” Standing at the corner, Han Qiuming frowned and said a term that outsiders to the circle didn’t quite understand.
”Isn’t this the same set?” Falling and Xiao Du both heard the term for the first time.
”It looks like the same scene, but in fact, something is changing with every repetition, only you don’t notice it, and when you drop the most, all the horrors will come together.” Han Qiu Ming’s tone was very sure: “I once saw a haunted house called the Nightmare of the Returning Soul in a foreign country, the whole scene consists of nine rooms, and the fear deepens layer by layer, and the most important thing is that these nine rooms can be moved freely, and you’ll never know what will be more in the room you open the door to.”
”The one you’re talking about is the room that’s easy to maneuver, he’s got this whole corridor laid out almost identically.” Guo Miao touched the wall and whispered, “Everything here is too real, it’s like moving a real mental hospital into a haunted house, I don’t know why I have this strange feeling.”
”You’re too sensitive, Lao Guo.” Han Qiuming laughed, “Ever since you came back from the hospital where Xu Zhenzhen committed suicide, your entire person has changed and cowered. As haunted house practitioners, we’re all about selling fear and thrills, so if you’re scared yourself, how can you harness fear to scare others?”
”Qiu Ming, there are some things that I didn’t believe in at first, but slowly coming into contact with more and more, more or less believing in them will always be a bit more down to earth.”
”I see that you’re living more and more back.” Han Qiu Ming and Guo Miao stood face to face: “Really, on the first day of business was smashed, such a thing you can actually endure? You know in your heart how long we’ve been preparing for the opening, and now it’s all been ruined by that Chen. In this situation, you still think he’s nice? You still want to reconcile with him? Aren’t you afraid of being eaten by him without even a bone left?”
”Qiu Ming, this is not on the boss.” Song An’s voice was dull: “To say the least, it’s also your fault, the haunted house advertisement was all designed before, but as a result, you had to add to it by purposely adding the scariest haunted house in the whole of Jiujiang, and making sneering remarks to others ……”
”So what you’re saying is that I didn’t do the right thing?” Han Qiu Ming’s face went cold: “Tian Teng Hospital is a new type of secret room haunted house that I improved and designed by combining my years of experience with two clues interspersed in the light and dark. I admit that this haunted house of his has some redeeming qualities, but it’s too crude compared to my design.”
”I’m not going to argue with you either, you weren’t at the scene that day and weren’t clear about the situation.”
”If I had been there, what happened that day would not have been possible. As haunted house actors who would be scared out of a haunted house by tourists, you’re all about to fall into the laughing stock of the circle.” Han Qiu Ming offended all the employees present with a few words, but he didn’t care at all, “It seems that when we go back, we’ll have to strengthen your training.”
”Qiu Ming, if you have something to say, let’s go back and talk, there are other visitors here.” Guo Miao didn’t care about Han Qiu Ming’s meanness.
”Yeah, when we go back, I’m going to discuss this with the boss. I think you can’t coordinate the whole situation and are no longer suitable to be in charge.”
”Han Qiuming! The boss has always brought you up well, usually we’re fine with tolerating you, so don’t give an inch!” Song An was on fire and yelled at Han Qiuming.
”I’m getting ahead of myself? Every decision I made was for the haunted house to be better. The Tanto Hospital has been designed four times before and after, and I was in charge of it three times, so you know yourselves how effective it is.” Han Qiuming laughed without any unnecessary expression.
”You melted a real case into a haunted house, used dead people’s names as props, and almost got us a lawsuit, and this is your design?”
”Sorry, I only look at the results. Statistically speaking, ticket sales quintupled after introducing Xu Zhenzhen, a dead person.” Han Qiuming stretched out his rootless finger, he had the capital to be proud of himself, “I’m the one who saved your lives, also please remember one thing, I’m the designer of the haunted house hired by your boss, and you’re just actors pretending to be ghosts.”
”Using a real case as material and borrowing the name of a dead person to gain attention, did you consider the feelings of the deceased’s family when designing it?”
”Counting me out now? Why didn’t you guys stop me at that time?”
”Stop it all!” Guo Miao pulled Han Qiuming and Song An away, “Go back and talk about the emotions in your heart, Boss Chen single-handedly passed our haunted house, if so many of us together failed to pass his haunted house today, that would be a shame.”
Han Qiuming and Song An both held a fire, which in turn diluted the fear in their hearts.
”I’m too lazy to get angry with this kind of person.” Song An wasn’t afraid anymore and walked towards the front alone.
”Old Song, don’t walk alone!” Guo Miao was afraid that something would happen to Song An and chased after him, distancing himself from the few people behind him.
”When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds.” Han Qiuming walked slowly behind, when he first entered the third sick building, he was also shocked by the scene inside, but now he had slowly adapted.
He glanced back, “You three stay close to me, there’s still ten minutes left, I’ll take you through. To be honest this haunted house is okay in China, but compared to those abroad that have no restrictions, it’s not even in the same league.”
”Teacher Han, I understand everything you’ve told me, but there’s one thing I want to make sure with you again.” Xiao Du walked at the end of the line, his face pale, he hadn’t even noticed Han Qiuming and Song An’s bickering and had been focusing on something else.
”What is it?”
”Didn’t you say that those dolls wouldn’t appear within five meters of us?”
Xiao Du pointed behind him, and all of those oddly shaped and extremely realistically made mannequins had unexpectedly entered the third sickbay!
The woman puppet with the school license plate at the head stood in the middle of the corridor with her head hanging low, and at this time, it was only three or four meters away from Xiao Du.
