Chapter 0259 – Three Taboos in a Haunted House
”Boss, your haunted house is very nice.” The man noticed Chen Ge looking at him and smiled politely, “I was very timid when I was little and was often teased by the neighborhood kids, then my brother led me into the haunted house to exercise my guts, and as a result, who knew that I would actually like this thrilling and exciting feeling.”
”Then you should like the next scene even more.” Chen Ge felt that this person was inexplicable, and it wasn’t like he was asked what he was saying about the visit testimonials.
Was he too nervous?
Chen Ge didn’t reveal this person, he always kept a smile in front of the tourists, leaving a good impression of sunshine and warmth.
”Alright, it’s our turn to enter.” Chen Ge led the way in front and lifted the curtain of the opaque haunted house.
Entering the house, Chen Ge took out the waiver agreement and placed it in front of the seven tourists, “The two-star scene is different from the one-star horror scene, so if you want to enter the two-star horror scene for a visit, you have to sign the waiver agreement first.”
He placed the printed agreement on the table, three of the seven tourists signed without much hesitation, and two others picked up the agreement and read it.
”Do I have to sign it?” The average-looking tourist looked a little hesitant after learning that he had to sign it, his gaze stealing a glance at the other one.
There were still accomplices?
Chen Ge did not move and stood at the side of a few tourists, “Of course, originally, our haunted house’s one-star horror scene was also required to sign an agreement, but because the number of tourists was too high, that’s why it was temporarily adjusted.”
”Okay.”
Chen Ge stared closely at the several people, not sparing any of these people’s subtle movements.
Today was the first day of the park’s all-out publicity, and it was also a new beginning for the House of Horrors, so absolutely nothing could go wrong.
The tourists finished signing one after another, the man with ordinary and featureless looks was called Wei Wu, and the tourist he stole a glance at was called Kong Xiangming.
Compared to the other tourists, these two were less excited and thrilled, and were very low-key.
The remaining five tourists were relatively much more normal, three of them were younger and looked like school students, and the other two seemed to be a couple that was having a disagreement.
Chen Ge’s main focus was on Wei Wu and Kong Xiangming, but what he didn’t expect was that one of the female students called out his name when he was collecting the waiver.
”You’re the haunted house owner Chen Ge that Heshan said in the posting, right?”
As soon as the word Chen Ge was uttered, several tourists looked over.
”You still know Heshan? The three of you are students from the Jiujiang Academy of Forensic Sciences?” Chen Ge retracted his gaze without a trace, and the two suspected Weird Tales Association people did not realize that they had been discovered by Chen Ge.
”Now Heshan has become a celebrity in our school.” The girl wore a ponytail, her body was slightly chubby, her skin was very white, her looks couldn’t be said to be good-looking, but she gave people a very clean feeling: “Many people from our school have come here to visit, and the posting bars are all betting on guessing which faculty can be the first one to pass through your haunted house.”
”Passing my haunted house isn’t easy, you guys should ask Heshan for experience first.” Chen Ge wore a smile on his face, looking as kind as he could be.
”Indeed it’s not easy, a total of six of us came to visit, and now half of us have already died in battle.” Next to the girl was a somewhat skinny looking boy who seemed to like the girl a little bit, he was scared to the point that his face was white and his feet were weak, but he still insisted on following the girl in to visit.
”What’s the point of talking so much, if you can’t do it once, try it a few more times, play the same scene a few times and it won’t be scary anymore.” The last student to speak up was a hot-tempered person, standing on the other side of the girl.
Chen Ge looked at the names on their waivers and wrote down the names.
”Everyone has been waiting for a long time, so I’ll cut the crap, the rule of the game is to look for school tags, the seven of you will be considered cleared if you find seventeen school tags.” Chen Ge’s gaze swept over the several tourists, “In addition, I’ve launched a new service here, for only twenty dollars you can have a character dressing experience, police, doctors, journalists all kinds of identities of your choice.”
”And dress up?” The girl was a bit moved, but was stopped hard by the skinny boy.
”No need, the three of us won’t experience it.”
”What about you guys?”
The couple was in a rage and didn’t pay attention to Chen Ge, and the other two were possibly members of the Weird Tales Association and weren’t interested in role substitution.
Chen Ge was rather sorry, he had wanted to try the effect.
Opening the wooden board, Chen Ge sent a few visitors into the middle of the scene, “The left side is the scene of Twilight Sun Middle School that you are going to visit, don’t go wrong, the scene on the right side is called the Third Sick Building, it’s the only three-star horror scene that we have here, it’s very dangerous, and the last time someone went in to visit it, they directly got scared and went into the hospital.”
Chen Ge specifically said the third sick building out, not because he was kind-hearted and wanted to remind the tourists, but in order to test the reaction of the two suspicious people.
If they were psychopaths who ran away from the third sick building, they would definitely react when they heard the name third sick building.
Several tourists nodded their heads and promised that they wouldn’t run amok, and the expressions of the two suspicious tourists didn’t change, they didn’t seem to be aware of the existence of the third sick building.
”Was my guess wrong?”
After giving a few more explanations, Chen Ge closed the wooden board back up and rushed to the monitoring room.
”Those two people shouldn’t be the lunatics in the third sickbay, but there’s a high probability that they’re members of the Weird Talk Association.” Chen Ge’s eyes were calm, and the smile on his face had long since disappeared, “Team Yan found a photo of me entering New Century Paradise in Xu Tong’s cell phone, which means that the members of the Weird Talk Association should be clear about what I look like.”
Last night, the ghosts and monsters on number five were swallowed by Xu Yin, and number twelve newcomer Lychee was also arrested by the police, and the most crucial thing was that Chen Ge heard the voice of the person behind the scenes on the phone.
Although it was only three short words, it was Chen Ge’s biggest gain that night.
”I’ve heard the voice of the president of the Weird Talk Association somewhere, he’s probably an acquaintance close to me!”
Every member of the Weird Talk Association should have ghosts and monsters in them, and they could only maximize their strength at night, yet they chose to enter the middle of a haunted house during the day.
From their perverse behavior, Chen Ge saw two messages.
First, the Association President’s voice was exposed, and he was worried that Chen Ge would remember his true identity, so he wanted to grab Chen Ge to shut him up for good.
Second, they were probably in fear of Zhang Ya, ghosts and monsters were strongest after twelve midnight, and all would be affected during the day, and Zhang Ya was no exception.
”Not coming early, not coming late, just in time to come over when I’m opening my business. It seems like they also planned well, mixing amongst the tourists, trying to make me fall off the wagon.”
The Weird Talk Association’s plan was perfect, but man’s plans were not as good as heaven’s plans, and they did not expect that Chen Ge happened to have seen Wei Wu on the surveillance screenshot of number five.
This caused their plan to be discovered by Chen Ge before it even started.
”I still have to cooperate with them in this play, there are too many tourists to affect normal business.”
The Weird Tales Association had deployed at least two people when they rounded up the long, skinny ghostly figure from Heming’s apartment, and with the importance they placed on Chen Ge, the number of people they sent this time would never be less than that time.
”Not counting me, there are a total of twelve people in the Weird Talk Association, Zhu Xiu, number five, and number twelve have already been gotten rid of, and now there are nine left.”
Chen Ge entered the monitoring room and looked at the computer screen in front of him, “In a little while, there should only be seven left.”
Dialing Xiao Gu’s number, Chen Ge asked him to take off his skull crushing doctor uniform and enter the staff passageway.
”Have the tourists been sent out?”
”They’ve already found the exit, it feels like those people aren’t too afraid of me.” Xiao Gu was a little frustrated, “I tried hard to do it too, maybe I don’t have the talent.”
”Don’t give up so quickly.” Chen Ge changed into his full uniform, tugging at the corners of his mouth, the human skin mask revealed a terrifying smile, “Are you interested in seeing how I play this role?”
”No.” Gu Feiyu shook his head decisively, after Chen Ge put on the Cranium Shattering Doctor’s uniform, his entire aura completely changed, as if the homicidal maniac uniform was tailor-made for him.
”There’s no interest all the more reason to cultivate interest, come with me.” Chen Ge grabbed Gu Feiyu’s arm and dragged it towards the ground.
……
After the wooden boards closed, the last ray of light disappeared, the underground scene was very dark, and several tourists were a bit uncomfortable.
”Don’t panic everyone, this scene is extremely difficult, but it’s not impossible to pass.”
The medical student who had acted weakly in front of Chen Ge seemed like a different person after entering the scene, his voice calm and collected.
He took out a notebook from his pocket, “Taking up thirty seconds of everyone’s time, I’ll first give you some precautions.”
”Playing a haunted house and you still need to write notes? What era is this? Can’t you use a cell phone?” The woman in the couple said impatiently, she was a bit grumpy.
”That’s exactly the first point I wanted to make.” The skinny boy pointed to the first of his notes, “Never bother using your cell phone in Boss Chen’s haunted house! Better yet, don’t even touch it!”
He raised the notes in his hand, “You may not believe me when I say it, every single item on this notebook is the experience of seniors who have exchanged their blood and tears for their experience, one of the legacies of our Jiujiang Medical College.”
”I think you guys are stupid for going to school.”
The woman mocked with cold words, and the man behind her tugged at her, “Nana, don’t cause trouble.”
”You leave me alone!” The woman seemed to be in a bad mood, she shrugged off the man’s hand, “Chen Zimin, we met in this haunted house two years ago, now we’ll break up here, in the future, you walk your one-wooden bridge, I’ll cross my yangguan road.”
”Will you stop messing around? I’m not accompanying you only because my current career has reached a very critical point, I dare not be distracted!”
”Am I being unreasonable? Does old lady care about your money!” The woman wore short high heels, drew a light makeup, the clothes on her body weren’t expensive, but they matched well, “Chen Zimin, I didn’t leave you when you were at your worst, Lao Ao accompanied you for two whole years!”
”I know, Nana ……”
”Don’t say it, things have changed, just like this haunted house. Two years has changed too much.” The woman finished speaking and headed out into Twilight Sun High School, the man following closely after her.
”Stay back, you two!” The skinny boy grabbed the notes in his hands, a little anxious, “The second thing I’m going to say is never disperse!”
He shouted loudly, but unfortunately the couple was in a rage and no one paid him any attention.
”Yang Chen, leave them alone, we can pass the level ourselves.” Two other students from the Jiujiang Medical College came over.
”This scene requires multiple people to collaborate in order to have a slight chance of completing it, and there are already few of us.” The skinny boy called Yang Chen was a bit regretful, “There are five of us left, we definitely can’t be separated anymore.”
He looked towards Wei Wu and Kong Xiangming, “Both of you, are you interested in cooperating? We only have to find seventeen school tags to pass the level.”
”Cooperation?” Wei Wu and Kong Xiangming looked at each other, neither of them taking a stance.
”You guys don’t know clearly how perverted this haunted house boss is, if you don’t cooperate, there’s no chance of clearing the level.” Yang Chen took out a hand-drawn drawing from his notes, which was labeled with forty-one red crosses.
”This is our sincerity, since the opening of the Twilight Sun Middle School scene, there have been a constant stream of seniors and siblings coming here to experience it, and people had found the school license plate in forty-one places.” Yang Chen showed the hand-drawn map to those two, “The locations of the school license plates are constantly changing, but there are duplicates among them, first of all, we have to search these forty-one places as fast as we can.”
Wei Wu and Kong Xiangming were interested in the map in Yang Chen’s hands, as for the passes and whatnot they didn’t care.
”Cooperation is no problem, it’s good for everyone.” The two suspected members of the Weird Talk Association agreed to cooperate with Yang Chen after exchanging a few brief words.
”Time is limited, let me allocate it.”
”Two old brothers, you are in charge of these ones on the left, Wang Yan, Li Xue, the three of us will go to the right.”
”Everyone must pay attention! Be sure to always make sure that you are in the line of sight of your companions, it’s best to pair up in pairs.”
Yang Chen put the map away after he finished speaking, and then looked at the other people solemnly, “There are still a few taboos in Boss Chen’s haunted house, no playing with cell phones, no acting alone, as well as don’t ask for in-laws indiscriminately. These taboos are summarized by the seniors and sisters, some of them I’m not sure why, but there must be a reason for their existence, so I hope you will keep them in mind and not try them.”
Yang Chen’s expression was very serious, and the words he said made Wei Wu and Kong Xiangming a bit confused as well.
The two teams started searching the classrooms on both sides left and right, after the distance had been distanced, Wei Wu quietly walked to Kong Xiangming’s side: “This haunted house makes me feel very uncomfortable, those taboos are more evil than one another.”
”Stay away from me, just pretend that the two of us don’t know anyone, there is surveillance installed in the haunted house, be careful of being seen.” Kong Xiangming was very cautious, he pretended to be rummaging through the school license plate.
”I don’t know why, I always feel a little uneasy.” Wei Wu absentmindedly searched for the school license plate.
”Less talking, more work, don’t forget what we came in for.” Kong Xiangming lowered his head, blood flashed vaguely under his eyes as he looked towards the scene exit from time to time, “That Boss Chen should be coming soon.”
