Chapter 0463 – Where are you going?
Bringing the garbage out of the third sick building, Chen Ge went to the bathroom and washed his face, and was soon back in the middle of his intense work.
At 6:30 pm, the haunted house stopped receiving visitors, Chen Ge asked Xu Wan and Xiao Gu to clean up, and he himself found Uncle Xu and asked for the keys to the paradise van in preparation for pulling the mannequins back at night.
After taking care of these things, he went back into the underground to find Dr. Chen.
The two left each other’s contact information, then Chen Ge used a black cloth to blindfold Dr. Chen, took him out of the haunted house, and took a taxi to the edge of the western suburbs.
There wasn’t much delay on the road, and when Chen Ge returned to New Century Paradise at almost seven o’clock, Xu Wan and Gu Feiyu had already cleaned the entrance of the haunted house.
”Thanks for your hard work, leave the rest to me.” Chen Ge took the broom, took out his cell phone and called Qian Guigen again, “Boss Qian, get the materials ready on your side, I might have to stay up all night in the workshop tonight to make the first batch of dolls first.”
”Okay, I’ll be waiting for you at the workshop.” Boss Qian was very quick, when his small store was about to close down, Chen Ge’s appearance gave him hope.
Hanging up the phone, Chen Ge looked back and realized that the two of them, Xu Wan and Xiao Gu, hadn’t left, “Is there anything else you two want?”
”You’re the boss, I always think you’re more tired than the employees, every day you either stay up all night, or all night.” Xu Wan, who had unloaded her mortuary face, looked a little cute, but compared to when she first came to work at the haunted house, she had matured a lot.
”Brother Chen, do you think the two of us can help you with anything?” Xiao Gu also walked over, “There’s nothing for me to do when I go home this early anyway.”
The employees took the initiative to ask for overtime work, and Chen Ge was still a little touched by what he said, he thought about it, twenty dolls carrying them was indeed a big problem, so he didn’t refuse.
”Alright, you guys come with me, let’s try to get it done before twelve.”
After closing the door of the haunted house, Chen Ge drove the van of the paradise and brought Xu Wan and Gu Feiyu together to the workshop.
The molded embryo Chen Ge had already done a part of it in the morning, and he briefly taught Gu Feiyu and Xu Wan what to do behind the scenes, leaving the filling of flushes, carrying, and other not-so-skilled tasks to the two.
At eleven o’clock in the evening, the first batch of twenty figures were all ready.
This batch of models used the best materials and had the same proportions as real people, but in order to save time, Chen Ge didn’t put makeup and matching clothes on the models.
Several people worked together to move the mannequin models onto the van and pulled them all back to the House of Horrors.
”I’ll take my own time with the back process, so you guys hurry home.”
Chen Ge glanced at the time, the haunted house would have its third expansion after twelve o’clock tonight, and the house of horrors would be officially upgraded to a trembling labyrinth, and he was worried about making any noise and arousing the suspicion of Xu Wan and Xiao Gu.
”Boss, this huge pile of dolls, how long will you move them by yourself?” Xiao Gu looked at the mannequins strewn across the corridor of the haunted house, looking at them in the middle of the night was a bit scary.
”I’ll have to make them up one by one later, so they can be put into use tomorrow.” Chen Ge thanked the two men and closed the haunted house door.
”How long are you going to get it done alone?” Gu Feiyu wanted to say something else, but unfortunately Chen Ge had already started working, “It’s too much of a struggle, it’s true that no one in this world can succeed casually.”
”Less sighing, see you in the morning.” Xu Wan waved her hand and left directly.
Only Gu Feiyu was left alone in the paradise, and compared to the hustle and bustle of the daytime, the paradise at night seemed empty and eerie.
The image of mannequins stacked on top of each other horizontally flashed in his mind, and he couldn’t help but shiver, “The boss is the boss in the end, if I were to do it, I guess I wouldn’t be able to stand it if I stayed in this place for a night.”
Xiao Gu walked out of the New Century Paradise, it is now eleven thirty at night, the buses have long stopped running, the place he rented is in the suburbs, a little far from the New Century Paradise.
”Take a taxi back?” Gu Feiyu touched his pockets, a little heartbroken, he came to the city to work for a few months time, but also received a salary from Chen Ge here once, renting a room, hospitalization and spent a lot of money, usually he did not even bother to order takeout, has always been their own cooking and eating.
”Anyway, there’s nothing to do, slowly walk towards home, as far as I can, and then take a taxi when I’m tired, so I can at least save a little.” Gu Feiyu put on his headphones and walked along the road towards the suburbs.
The night wind blew in along the cuffs, a little cold, pedestrians were scarce, and the streetlights on both sides were getting darker and darker.
After walking for about forty minutes, at about twelve in the morning, Gu Feiyu suddenly heard someone ask him where he was going. Do you want to get in the car?
He took off his headphones and looked around, realizing that there wasn’t a single person around.
”Strange? Did that voice come from the headphones?” He put on the headphones and listened to the song just now again, and there was no one else’s voice: “What’s going on?”
Gu Feiyu couldn’t figure it out, the lights on both sides of the road seemed to become dimmer, there was no one around, he walked forward alone.
The buildings slowly became lower and more desolate, this was clearly the same road he usually went home on, but it gave him a somewhat different feeling.
After walking for another ten minutes, Gu Feiyu came to a fork in the road, on one side was the road he was familiar with to go home, on the other side that road looked a bit strange, it seemed like he had never seen that road before.
”Where are you going?” Ear heard that voice again, Gu Feiyu a headset off, he looked toward his side when he realized that he did not know when behind him drove over a bus.
The body of the bus was shabby and looked a bit old, the headlights were not lit, and there were a few passengers sitting sporadically inside, most of them with their heads down, seemingly playing with their cell phones.
”It’s almost one in the morning, how come there’s still a bus?” Gu Feiyu inexplicably felt panicked as he retreated towards the curb, and before he could take a few steps out, his cell phone suddenly vibrated.
Clicking it open, Gu Feiyu realized that Chen Ge had sent himself a red packet, and there was a voice message underneath.
”Xiao Gu, hard work, this is overtime pay.”
Chen Ge’s voice was exceptionally warm in the cold, dark night, Xiao Gu collected the red packet and was ready to tell Chen Ge about the strange things he had encountered, but before he could get through to Chen Ge, he turned around and realized that the bus had already driven away.
The car entered the adjacent highway that looked strange to him.
Standing at the intersection, Gu Feiyu witnessed the bus leave, the streetlights on both sides returned to normal, and his body wasn’t as cold anymore.
”How strange.” Gu Feiyu didn’t dare to continue running around alone, he waited at the intersection for half a day and stopped a cab.
”Where are you going?”
”The apartment building next to Ming Hua Zhuang.” Gu Feiyu was still thinking about the bus in his mind, he wasn’t too sure and asked the driver, “Big brother, did you see a bus drive past when your car came by?”
”No.” The driver swept Gu Feiyu in the rearview mirror, and he too muttered, “I say what’s wrong with you youngsters lately? A few days ago, I pulled a tourist in the eastern suburb, similar to you, got on the bus and asked me if I had seen a moving company’s truck go by, the road was just this wide, did a car go by, you guys wouldn’t look for yourselves?”
