Chapter 0727 – He’s Here
”Chen Ge, are you sure you want to go to Xinhai?” Uncle Xu was still a bit uneasy.
”Luo Dong once told me that people need to have a big picture view before they can do anything, I’m going to Xinhai this time to give Nightmare Academy a heads up, and secondly, to understand the market.” Chen Ge said in a serious manner, “It’s fine, so don’t worry about it.”
Pulling open the security door of the haunted house, Chen Ge and Zhang Jingjiu entered the middle of the haunted house together.
”You wait here for a while, I’ll make a trip to the underground scene.” Chen Ge put most of the employees in his backpack back into the middle of the scene, leaving only a small portion that were not easily controllable to bring with him, such as the red high-heeled shoes, headless female ghosts, and Qiumei.
He didn’t do this to say that he wanted to take revenge on the Nightmare Academy, simply because he was worried that after he left, these red coats left in the haunted house might go haywire.
Of course, in order to balance the strength, Chen Ge also brought Yan Danian, them and Xu Yin with him.
”This thing, the Skull Crushing Hammer, definitely can’t pass the security check, so I won’t bring it over.”
Taking out the Skull Crushing Hammer, the backpack instantly became much lighter, and Chen Ge was still a bit uncomfortable.
Back on the ground, Chen Ge and Zhang Jingjiu waited until the other employees arrived and finished putting on their makeup before leaving.
At eleven o’clock in the morning, Chen Ge and Zhang Jingjiu took a car to Xinhai City, the two cities were not far apart, but there was a significant change in temperature.
The average temperature of Xinhai was a bit higher than that of Hanjiang, the reason for which Chen Ge wasn’t too clear.
”Toast, keep your father company, it’s all family.” Chen Ge transferred another red packet to Zhang Jingjiu: “Buy some things for the old man, I won’t accompany you there, call if anything happens.”
Without waiting for Zhang Jingjiu to refuse, Chen Ge walked out of the train station with his own backpack.
After finding the location of the Nightmare Academy on the internet, Chen Ge directly took a taxi and rushed over.
Unlike Chen Ge’s haunted house that was opened in a paradise, the Nightmare Academy was opened within the busiest commercial street in Xinhai City.
As the most famous and oldest haunted house in Xinhai, they had chartered an entire building with a back sunny side.
Coincidentally, there was a small oversight in the design of the shopping street that caused the shaded side of one of the buildings to be blocked by another, taller building, so that no matter if it was in the morning or in the afternoon, it could not be illuminated by the sunlight.
Many merchants were unwilling to move into this building, but the founder of Nightmare Academy finally saw the need and rented the shaded side of the building at a very low price, transforming it into the largest haunted house in Xinhai City.
The sunny side of the building, where the sunlight occasionally shines, is bustling with people, with all kinds of merchants and restaurants, while the other half of the building is completely isolated from the outside world with its doors and windows shut tightly.
With a clear distinction between one yin and one yang, this place had also become a famous attraction in Xinhai, with high ratings on the internet.
But all of this was a few years ago, and the physical haunted houses are becoming less and less popular, and fewer and fewer people are visiting Nightmare Academy.
They were also constantly introducing new scenes, but they couldn’t stop the decline in popularity.
After paying for the car, Chen Ge stopped at the entrance of the shopping street.
With the traffic and the tall buildings, even if it was a weekday, the place was still packed with people.
”Don’t they all have to go to work?”
Carrying his somewhat worn out backpack, the plainly dressed Chen Ge did not fit in with the busiest shopping street in this big city, but Chen Ge did not care about that.
Compared to his appearance, he paid more attention to his soul.
Following the map on his cell phone, Chen Ge quickly found the Nightmare Academy, and the building where the haunted house was located was at the corner of the shopping street, where the traffic was obviously much smaller.
”Real-life immersive haunted house! 4D ultimate experience! World-class haunted house – Nightmare Academy, screaming opening!”
Before he even got close, Chen Ge saw an actor in haunted house overalls at the entrance of the haunted house, holding a microphone and shouting vigorously.
”Nightmare Academy Horror Experience is a new type of indoor theme park that integrates haunted houses, escape rooms, mazes, quality development, and real-life interactive scene shows! It requires players to combine wisdom, courage and physical strength to break through and challenge the barrier!”
”Whether from the design, organs, props, scenes, makeup and other aspects of the haunted house on the market have killed!”
The staff shouted vigorously, but there were not many people on the commercial street who were interested in the haunted house, and occasionally people stopped only to be curious, and would leave after stopping for a few moments.
”Sir, would you like to visit us!” The staff member had long since spotted Chen Ge, he saw that Chen Ge had been standing at the door, only because the other party was dressed too earthy, so he had been too lazy to come over and ask.
”Is your place scary?” Chen Ge was a little curious in his heart, although the other party did not do things generously, they were still very strong, otherwise it would not be possible for them to become the largest haunted house in Xinhai City.
”Whether it’s scary or not, I can’t say, you have to experience it yourself.” That staff member bought up, but then probably for fear of Chen Ge leaving, he added: “I can only say that the world-class haunted house is not a joke, we have always maintained a one-third exit rate for this haunted house, and only one-tenth of the tourists who can complete the task and pass the gate, and there is even a record of queuing for three hours and giving up after three minutes of entering the venue. ”
”A one in ten clearance rate huh?”
”That’s right, it’s that real, the horror in our Nightmare Academy is not a simple scare, but an excavation of the unknown, of the human heart.” The staff was proud, “How about it? Want to come in and experience it? It’s a weekday now, there’s a discount, normally a ticket is two hundred, now it’s only one hundred and eighteen.”
”So expensive?” Chen Ge thought about it and thought it was fine, his own haunted house was in the park, if he wanted to visit it, he still needed to buy a pass for the park, while the Nightmare Academy was just a haunted house, “When I come to Xinhai in the future, the ticket price can go up again, when in Rome, do as the Romans do.”
Chen Ge was still thinking about it, and the staff gradually lost patience, “A penny for a penny, our haunted house can definitely bring you the top-notch experience.”
”Alright, give me one.” Chen Ge entered the interior of the haunted house, which was also decorated with a very atmospheric atmosphere, the ticket hall was transformed into a special place for admission procedures, the elevator to enter the scene was decorated as an admission gate, and the walls were plastered with all kinds of photographs and weird stories, as well as a lot of scary posters.
Before formally entering the scene, the atmosphere had already been created, this Nightmare Academy haunted house was indeed not simple.
When Chen Ge came in, there were two other visitors in the house, and they looked like they had been waiting for a long time.
”I’m sorry, the minimum number of people that can enter our scene at one time is five, I still hope that you can wait a little longer.” The female staff member in the ticket counter waved her hand towards Chen Ge, “You can come and check in first, and when there are all the people, you can go in immediately.”
”Okay.” Chen Ge took out his ID card and walked to the ticket counter.
The other staff member handling the tickets had been keeping her head down, but after seeing Chen Ge’s ID card, she suddenly raised her head up.
”Chen Ge?”
