Chapter 0464: Welcome to the Trembling Labyrinth!
”You didn’t see it?” Xiao Gu looked back at the road, the buildings on both sides felt a bit different than before than seemed to be the case, “It’s really strange, that bus was still there a while ago.”
……
In the dressing room of the House of Horrors, Chen Ge saw that after Xiao Gu and Xu Wan received their red envelopes, he threw his cell phone aside and began to concentrate on putting makeup on the mannequins.
He used mortuary makeup and living dolls to most realistically recreate the look of those mutilated corpses, with eyes bulging out and filled with resentment and jealousy towards the living.
”These ones can have their faces hollowed out and made removable, and when tourists come over, the faces will turn and fall off at the same time.”
Chen Ge did her best, working alone in the dressing room until after two in the morning, before she finished applying makeup to the twenty mannequins.
After working continuously at high intensity, Chen Ge was also a bit overwhelmed, so he set an alarm for himself and went back to the rest room to sleep.
Just lying down, Chen Ge felt that he hadn’t slept for long when the cell phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.
He took it out in a daze and realized that it was a prompt message from his black phone.
”Third expansion completed! House of Horrors upgraded to Shivering Maze! The maximum number of red coats that can be owned has increased! Maximum number of employees increased!”
”Shivering Maze Special Effect: Sense of Direction drastically reduced (the rest of the effects will be unlocked after the fourth expansion, which will be a process of disorientation from the flesh to the mind).”
”Lucky Knightly Favors, congratulations on upgrading the House of Horrors to the Shivering Labyrinth, and randomly obtaining the top-tier special kind of building, the Gate of Shrill Howls!”
”The Door of Shrieking Howls: after you’re ready to shriek, you can push open this door!”
”Third expansion complete! Three-star horror scene Underground Corpse Vault unlocked! All internal organs can be manipulated through the cell phone page!”
With several messages in a row, Chen Ge instantly came to his senses, “Expansion completed?”
He put on his jacket and ran out of the staff lounge, ready to enter the underground when he suddenly realized that the wooden board at the entrance of the Zombie Resurrection Night had disappeared.
In its place was a pure black, incomparably heavy-looking iron door carved with all sorts of stern ghosts!
”Is this the new reward for that spiky howling door?”
The solid iron door was stuck on the only entrance and exit, Chen Ge walked up to it and stroked the harsh ghosts on the door, cries and screams faintly ringing in his head.
Grabbing the door handle, Chen Ge opened the door with force and entered the underground scene.
After upgrading to the Trembling Labyrinth, the underground scene gave people a more eerie feeling, and when walking in it, one always felt that someone was calling out their name in a certain direction, and one couldn’t help but want to go in that direction.
”There should be other hidden effects.”
As soon as he entered the underground, on the left was Twilight Sun Middle School, on the right was the third sick building, directly opposite was the Living Coffin Village, and the newly unlocked Underground Corpse Vault scene was behind it.
Chen Ge went in and turned around, looking at all the scare points against the black cell phone to make sure there were no safety hazards before returning to the ground and transporting all the mannequins into the middle of the scene.
”A few stern ghosts can be hidden in the mannequins, so when the tourists get used to the rhythm, then come out and surprise them. By the way, where are these doctors going to be placed? Scaring people isn’t something they’re good at, it’s better to arrange a separate room just for them, just worry about them running around.”
According to his previous idea, Chen Ge set up the corpse vault scene, and by the time he came out again, it was almost dawn.
After grabbing some sleep, Chen Ge woke up on time at 8:15, and after washing up, he opened the door to the haunted house.
”Another sunny day, I hope the new scene will be enjoyed by visitors.”
He took out his phone and posted information about the new horror scene on the small program that Director Luo had created specifically for the haunted house.
When this new three-star scene introduction appeared in the haunted house exchange community, it instantly attracted the attention of all the online visitors.
Many people were surprised at Chen Ge’s haunted house scene development speed, and they were a bit desperate to realize that their own clearance speed was not as fast as the speed of other people’s scene layouts.
Many of them left messages to challenge the new scenes, and some people realized from this that Chen Ge probably did love this work, and it felt like the man spent his life on how to scare people.
”Luo Dong designed this thing, and it’s quite convenient to use.” Chen Ge smoothly posted the few photos he had taken in the scene, and after reading the comments for a while, he silently retreated.
”The new scene attracting hot debates is within my expectation, today I guess it can attract some of the haunted house loyalists to come and experience it again.”
Xu Wan came from the entrance of the paradise at eight twenty, Chen Ge went to put on her makeup first, but until Xu Wan entered the scene, Xiao Gu didn’t come.
”Traffic jam?”
After making a few phone calls that were not answered, it was only at almost nine o’clock that Chen Ge saw Xiao Gu running into the middle of the park in a hurry.
”Boss, sorry!” Xiao Gu was panting and his face was a bit pale.
”Did you run into something?” Chen Ge looked at Gu Feiyu and felt a little strange.
”I went home too late yesterday and didn’t rest well, so I got up late this morning.” Gu apologized several times, “Boss, I’m going to put on my makeup.”
”Go on, be careful, there’s no rush.” Chen Ge looked at Xiao Gu who ran into the haunted house and felt that there was something a little strange, he secretly kept his eyes peeled.
At nine o’clock, the park officially opened, tourists flocked to the park, Chen Ge clearly felt that the off-season was coming to an end, the number of tourists was increasing.
”When the peak season arrives, that’s when it’s time to get really tough with Virtual Future Paradise, as long as we don’t lose too many customers to them, there’s still a chance for everything to be salvaged.”
Chen Ge had seen Virtual Future Paradise’s internal data piece and was clear about the other party’s strength.
In just five minutes of opening, there was already a long line at the entrance of the House of Horrors, and some tourists even started lining up outside the park’s gates, and as soon as the park’s gates opened, they rushed directly to the House of Horrors.
”Everyone, don’t crowd!” Uncle Xu and the staff rushed to maintain order, while Chen Ge entered the lounge and entered the synopsis of the new scene he had written on his cell phone into the computer, scrolling it on the corresponding big screen.
”Strange noises emanating from the corpse vault, cars transporting corpses moving back and forth through the passageways, the smell of formalin filling the air everywhere, the only way to escape from here is to keep moving forward and make a choice between the two types of passageways, the red and the white.”
”The largest underground corpse vault in central and southern China is inhabited by a group of eternally living people who have opened their eyes in formalin, and this is the newest three-star horror scene in the House of Horrors – Underground Corpse Vault.”
The introduction on the screen managed to arouse the curiosity of many tourists, but now the tourists had learned to be smart and would rather die than be the first to eat crabs.
”Underground Corpse Vault is open on the first day, as per usual, the ticket price for the new scene is halved, welcome to come in and visit!”
