Chapter 0747 Is it too much to play with!
After interacting with the female tourist, Chen Ge became even more interested in the child in the hallway.
”The guy who dares to come out and hang around in the daytime is definitely not an ordinary residual spirit, at least at the level of a stern ghost. But why does he keep staying here and not leaving? Is it because of an unfulfilled wish? Or is the item he’s pinned his hopes on buried deep in the building?”
The thought of a child’s soul not being allowed to rest in peace day and night made Chen Ge’s heart uncomfortable, and he decided to help the other party to fulfill his last obsession.
Chen Ge walked quickly towards the downstairs, he didn’t know what he could do to increase the probability of encountering the boy, and looked for a dead corner of the surveillance to summon Old Zhou out.
”A woman just said that there’s a little boy wandering in this hallway, can you sense his location?” Chen Ge asked Old Zhou with the idea of trying.
”No sense, maybe he’s hiding.” Old Zhou tilted his head and looked around, “But this place is indeed quite strange.”
”Where is it strange? Have you discovered anything?”
”Ordinary residual souls can’t show up in the daytime, and stern ghosts can only appear for a short period of time, and if they leave their hosts for too long, they will cause irreparable damage. Normally this is the case, but our Western Suburbs House of Horrors is an exception, I don’t know the exact reason for this, anyway, even during the daytime, we can all casually appear in the House of Horrors, not only is there no time limit, it’s also very comfortable to stay inside.” After finishing the House of Horrors, Old Zhou looked towards the building of the Academy of Nightmares and said, “Although this place is not as good as our haunted house, I can stay inside for a long period of time, this building seems to be completely cut off from the sunlight positively irradiated, and the yin qi is very heavy.”
”You can stay in the Nightmare Academy for a long time?” At a certain moment, Chen Ge even had the idea of leaving Old Zhou behind as an insider.
”It’s not just me, ordinary residual souls, such as the students of Twilight Sun High School should be able to withstand it as well, such a place is too rare.” Old Zhou said if he had a point.
”The Nightmare Academy has been open for many years, and it’s probably because of the special geography of this place, coupled with the special industry, which has led to mutations.” Chen Ge stood against the wall in the corner.
”The negative emotions vented by the tourists have been settling here for years and years, and the building is heavy with yin qi, so in the long run, it’s possible that this place will attract more and more ghosts and monsters.” Old Zhou’s brows furrowed, looking very serious: “Just like our haunted house occasionally has special tourists coming in to visit, if we can’t suppress the scene, something very dangerous is likely to happen, and the consequences are simply unimaginable.”
Chen Ge silently pondered, “That makes sense, so what do you think we can do for them?”
”It’s better to let us take over such a dangerous place, after all, we are already used to danger.” Old Zhou sighed, somewhat helplessly persuading.
After a moment of silence, Chen Ge finally spoke, “The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Although I don’t live in Xinhai, I can’t just stand by and watch problems arise in Xinhai, when I finish dealing with our side of things, I’ll immediately contact Director Luo and join hands to take down this building and nip the danger in the bud.”
”To establish things, first establish people, it is truly a blessing to meet a boss like you.” Old Zhou’s tightly furrowed brow instantly loosened, sighing with heartfelt emotion.
Chen Ge and Old Zhou’s fantastic cooperation was a stark contrast to the Nightmare Academy boss and the employees under him, and the reason why this was the case was probably because of Chen Ge’s potential charisma.
Taking Old Zhou with him, Chen Ge ran straight to the first floor, the end of the building was not an exit, there was only a door painted on the wall.
”The door is painted on it, if according to the rules of the game, the visitor who passes at the end will definitely panic when they realize that the door is just a painting on the wall.”
After visiting for a long time, Chen Ge had already figured out the terrain of the entire Nightmare Academy, there was an unsafe “safe” passageway on the left and right side of the building, both of which were dead ends, and the real way to life was the elevator in the middle, the elevator that the tourists came in to take.
This arrangement has both good and bad, the good is to be able to stimulate the fear of the tourists, the bad is when encountering special tourists, the staff themselves have no place to escape.
”Old Zhou, after we find that child, you stay at the elevator and keep it stopped at your floor.”
”Understood.”
With Old Zhou there, Chen Ge was very relieved, it was only the employee in the monitoring room that suffered, after a while he would probably see something very frightening.
After Chen Ge and Old Zhou arrived on the first floor, they soon realized that the building had more than just a few floors upstairs, there was also a staircase leading down to the ground floor.
Looking at the negative floor, which was specially labeled with red paint on the wall, Chen Ge stopped in his tracks, the atmosphere here was completely different from those scenes upstairs.
The steps were covered in dust, and there were some yellowed newspapers thrown around haphazardly, some of which were still stained with large dark brown stains.
Casually picking up one, Chen Ge roughly scanned it, “The father was careless, the builder violated the rules, whose fault is it that the child is missing?”
These newspapers did not know if the haunted house did it itself or if it was indeed true, printing many reports about the missing boy, which made people feel uncomfortable reading them.
”Experts ultimately speculated that the boy should be hiding in the unbuilt basement.”
Chen Ge casually put the newspaper aside and bent down to look towards the corridor on the first floor.
Without any lighting, the haunted house retained the original appearance of the building’s underground.
”If this isn’t a haunted house scene, there should be a no-passing sign hanging at the passageway. The haunted house side didn’t give any hints, that means that although this place has nothing to do with the haunted school theme, it’s also one of the haunted house scenes and should be considered a hidden scene.”
In order to prevent being captured by the surveillance cameras, Chen Ge and Old Zhou kept a distance.
He walked alone towards the ground floor, his shoes stepping on the newspaper and making a rustling sound.
When he was halfway there, Chen Ge suddenly stopped, he looked back and then looked in front of him, his eyes landing on the last step.
”This floor has thirteen steps?”
Chen Ge was certain that he hadn’t counted incorrectly; there were indeed thirteen steps in the hallway leading to the underground floor.
”Did the staff make a careless mistake when the building was constructed? Or did the Nightmare Academy tamper with it? Why is there an extra step?”
He carried his bag and continued walking down, his left foot landing on the thirteenth step.
Scanning around, Chen Ge did not see anything special appear.
But just as he was using his left leg as a fulcrum and his right leg hanging in the air, the ground in front of him was suddenly “lifted”!
A man the height of a six or seven year old screamed and jumped out, his face painted with a large red color and his hands violently grabbed at Chen Ge.
Chen Ge’s entire attention was focused on the thirteenth step, not realizing that there was a hidden compartment on the ground in front of the step.
The other party had caught him off guard, only Chen Ge’s behavior when he encountered an unexpected situation was different from all the visitors that the Nightmare Academy had received since its opening.
Without being sure whether the other party was a person or a ghost, Chen Ge swung the backpack in his hand directly at the other party, and subconsciously shouted a name out of his mouth, “Xu Yin!”
