Chapter 0223 – He must be sick!
”What’s wrong with you?” Su LuLu looked at Du Chao near with a pale face and forehead full of cold sweat, she herself became nervous.
”I’ll tell you the truth you don’t be afraid.” Xiao Du came over to Su Lulu’s side: “I suspect that this haunted house is really haunted.”
”Don’t you intentionally scare me.” Su Lulu was a haunted house enthusiast and had visited many haunted houses, but she had never seen a haunted house like Boss Chen’s, which was like a labyrinth as soon as she entered, completely open and free to explore.
”Mr. Han’s previous deduction was all wrong, there wasn’t a single staff member in that large group of dolls! It’s not the haunted house’s people moving them at all, it’s them moving on their own!” Xiao Du clenched his hands so tightly that his finger bones made a crunching sound, “Teacher Han can’t be counted on, I’m going to report this to Boss and Brother Song.”
”They’re already far away, run slower!”
Xiao Du was anxious in his heart and ran towards the front, Su Lulu stood in the middle, not knowing if she should chase after them or wait for Mr. Han with Night Careful.
”The haunted house is haunted? Dolls moving by themselves?” Night Careful took out her note pad and jotted down these two items on it, “Even other haunted house practitioners would be fooled, this haunted house is quite unusual.”
She gave a high evaluation, “It’s been a while since I’ve encountered something so interesting, I’m going to take a good turn today.”
”Look at the way that boy is talking, he doesn’t seem to be lying.” Su Lulu reminded Night Careful out of kindness, “Let’s walk faster too, everyone feels safe when they gather together.”
”I’ve always felt that haunted houses and magic are the same thing, both are using illusions to gain the awe of the tourists, whoever makes the illusion more real will be more successful.” Night carefully took off her coat and tied it around her waist as she stretched out, the thrilling curves causing the only spectator in the room to be a little irritated, “In that respect, the Western Suburbs House of Horrors is undoubtedly successful.”
”You stay here then, I’ll go first.”
Several tourists had unconsciously dispersed, and no one noticed those red letters on the walls, the color was deepening, as if they were about to drip blood.
……
”Boss, don’t try to persuade me, this Han Qiuming person does have some skills, but that doesn’t mean we have to suffer from him!” Song An was upset for Guo Miao in his heart, “It’s true that he came up with the design program, but the content was produced by everyone together, the specific scene setup was all our busy work, what does it have to do with him?”
”Okay, okay, I know what you’re saying, bear with me for a while, he is after all the designer the boss hired.” Guo Miao is getting older, many things are also looking away, “The haunted house industry is getting more and more recessionary, everyone is just making a living, there is no need to make such a stalemate.”
”But look at his villainous face, he’s still ready to tell the boss? Seriously, if the boss removes you and puts him in charge as chief, I’ll resign immediately.” Song An had a straightforward personality and wasn’t that fancy.
”Don’t worry, the boss won’t agree.” Guo Miao also sighed after saying that, he didn’t have a bottom in his heart, since they were forced to move out of Xinhai, their haunted house had started to go downhill, “Let’s find the recorder first, there’s still fans from Tanto Sickbay watching outside the haunted house, we can’t let them down.”
”Good.”
The two walked at the front of the line, and after turning the second corner, they realized that the next scene was still a hallway.
”What’s the point of this haunted house? Just let us walk indefinitely?”
The light became dimmer, and the color of the corridor walls deepened, speckled with what seemed like sticky blood inside.
Stepping on the uneven bedding and smelling the strange odor of potion mixed with other things, it felt as if we had drilled into the esophagus of some monster.
”Boss Chen must have his intentions in designing it this way, probably to create a more realistic feeling.” Guo Miao snapped off a small piece of wall skin, and with a firm finger, easily crushed it, “On the way here, I found that the numbers on the outside of some of the rooms weren’t painted over, the number of all the rooms in the first corridor starts with 4, the second corridor starts with 3, and this corridor starts with 2.”
”The numbers are decreasing?”
”I suspect that the realistic prototype of the entire scene is a four-story building, and Boss Chen has completely restored it, with each corridor representing a floor in that building.” Guo Miao looked at the dilapidated and mottled walls, “Even the numbering was preserved, and purposely made old, not sparing any of the tiniest details, this is no longer simple OCD.”
”Right, I also have this feeling. We make haunted houses to bring fright to the tourists, everything this Boss Chen has done, it feels like he’s carving the scenes as if they were beliefs, the various details, and those bloody words on the walls, it’s practically reached a morbid level.” Song An’s anger gradually extinguished, and fear began to take root in his heart again, “After walking all the way, we saw countless bloody characters, we felt numb just looking at them, it’s hard to imagine how he wrote those sentences up bit by bit.”
”Those bloody words are old and new, some of them were written recently, while others look like they were written a few years ago.” Guo Miao’s heart also began to fizzle, and an image emerged in his mind – in the dead of night, the owner of the haunted house was alone with a bucket full of red paint, his face was hideous, and his whole body was in a state of hysteria as he began to write on the walls one “cruel” word after another. ” on the walls.
”Before entering the haunted house, I heard Mr. Chen say that this haunted house has been in operation for five or six years, is it possible that they have been building this scene since the time of his parents?”
”To spend five years to build such a scene, what do they figure?” Precisely because they were also in the haunted house business, Guo Miao was well aware of the time and effort it took to create such a scene, “When we were at the entrance of the third patient building, a few of us lifted the bed boards to take a look, and Boss Chen had even done special effects treatment on the places that the tourists wouldn’t notice at all, this kind of behavior is very abnormal.”
”Wait a minute, the name Third Sick Building always seems a bit familiar to me.” Song An took out his cell phone and searched the internet, and the results that came out made his face turn pale, “Boss, there really is a place called Third Sick Building in Jiujiang! Mental patients have committed crimes involving rape, murder, and imprisonment, and just a few days ago the police put out a wanted notice for patients who used to live there!”
”What Boss Chen said is true?” Guo Miao’s pupils jumped, “Such an important thing is out there, and he even lightly brought it up in one sentence?”
”The internet said that the third sick building was abandoned five years ago, and this haunted house of his started operating five or six years ago!” Song An compared the times and found that they just happened to match.
”Oh no!” As if he suddenly thought of something, Guo Miao chased after him, “Check carefully to see if there’s anything in the police’s wanted list that’s related to Boss Chen, similar heights, weights, styles of dress, etc.”
”Boss, do you suspect that Boss Chen is the patient who used to be in the third sick bay?”
”Is it possible for a normal person to spend five or six years to restore such a sick house? Every detail is portrayed so realistically, I’m afraid that only someone who lived in it for a long time could do all this!” The more Guo Miao thought about it, the more terrifying he felt, “This Boss Chen passes through the Tanto Sick Hospital, his heart rate was below one hundred the entire time, how could such a person be a normal human!!!”
”Why don’t we stop visiting and just go out?”
”If we leave now, we might be targeted later as well.”
”Why?”
”The third sick building scene wasn’t supposed to be open to the public, and Boss Chen also said it hadn’t been perfected yet, so now that I think about it this should all be an excuse.” Guo Miao had the heart to kill Han Qiuming, “There’s probably a big secret hidden here.”
Song An noticed Guo Miao’s gloomy expression and asked in a low voice, “What secret?”
”I asked the administrator of the New World Paradise before I came here, and the other party mentioned inadvertently that Boss Chen’s parents strangely disappeared half a year ago, leaving no clues behind.” Guo Miao looked at the corridor full of morbidly insane blood characters and felt a chill fill his heart.
”Disappeared?” Song An’s surprised expression slowly solidified, as if he suddenly thought of something, his eyes snapped open.
