Chapter 1136: I Hope Each and Every One of You Gets Happiness
The temperature in the room didn’t drop any further, and along with the sound of his cell phone vibrating, Chen Ge received ten more messages.
”Lucky Red Favored One, congratulations on obtaining a Nightmare Quest Reward Count!”
”After using the reward times, nightmare level quests will definitely be refreshed in the House of Horrors daily quests at zero o’clock that day!”
”Lucky red-clad favorites! Congratulations on obtaining the Haunted House Staff Set – Clown of Doom!”
”Clown of Doom: They always laugh at the way I cry, they think my sadness is very funny.”
”Caution! The Clown of Doom suit consists of a clown mask, a blood-colored vanity case, and a human skin circus costume; changing into the full costume produces an unknown special effect.”
”Lucky red-clad favorites! Congratulations on obtaining the Haunted House Staff Set – The Gourmet!”
”Gourmet: I’m the world’s pickiest gourmet, and I’ve tasted the meat of almost every animal in this world. Then I became obsessed with one of the finest ingredients, would you like to join me in the kitchen to take a look?”
”Attention! The Gourmet suit consists of a night suit and a goodnight suitcase, the suit can increase personal charm, a friendly reminder please don’t open the Gourmet’s suitcase when there are a lot of people.”
”Lucky red-coated favorites! Congratulations on obtaining the Haunted House Staff Set – Stranger!”
”Stranger: Random murder is one of the most difficult cases to solve, no pattern, no motive, unrelated dead people and the simplest way to kill people who can’t make a mistake, please be careful of that stranger who passes by when you are walking alone at night.”
”Caution! The stranger’s suit has only one set of civilian clothes, the suit can minimize your presence, even if your face is seen, the memory about you will be quickly forgotten.”
”Lucky red-clothed favorites! Congratulations on obtaining the special kind of prop – the engraved wedding ring!”
”Engraved Wedding Ring: Soon after the marriage, the husband often stayed out at night, on a night with heavy rain, the husband left and never came back, the police searched for three weeks but did not find the husband’s body, the devastated wife washed her face with tears all day long. The case ended up as an unsolved one; no one knew where the husband had gone, and the woman became insane and would often talk to herself about the two wedding rings on her fingers.”
”Caution! Both parties wearing the wedding rings will be able to sense each other’s approximate location, no matter how far away they are! However, wearing them for a long time will have a bad effect on the body.”
……
It was another ten in a row, but Chen Ge seemed to have really drained the prize pool of Knights.
This time, he still hadn’t drawn any Lich Ghosts, and the prizes he drew were all props, and they weren’t the kind of items that were particularly rare.
”Could it be that all my luck was spent on bumping into ghosts? That’s not right either! This has been twenty-one consecutive times without drawing a Li Ghost, could it be that I’m building up my luck, and next time will I directly draw a Top Red Clothes, or perhaps a Fierce God directly?”
Shaking his head, Chen Ge himself felt that it was unrealistic, after all, the Fierce God and the Red Clothes were completely at two different levels.
After the thirty consecutive draws were completed, Chen Ge memorized all of the reward items he drew in his mind, and then slowly and leisurely passed through the haunted house of the Virtual Future Paradise.
”Hurry! He’s coming out!”
”Brother Jiang! Brother Jiang! That person is heading to the exit you’re in charge of!”
”Attention all departments! Buck up!”
Pushing open the last door, Chen Ge stepped out from the middle of the haunted house, and he saw Jiang Ming guarding the exit.
”Long time no see, how have you been?” Chen Ge had thought that Jiang Ming would hate him, but that wasn’t the case, and Jiang Ming greeted him naturally.
”Thanks to your blessing, I’ve been doing pretty well.”
”My blessing?”
”You sent that fool Ma Feng to the hospital, I feel like even breathing naturally now.” Jiang Ming said in a low voice.
The management of Virtual Future Paradise was different from New Century Paradise, it seemed that the infighting was more serious, after Jiang Jiu was hospitalized, Ma Feng was in sole control, as Jiang Jiu’s adopted righteous son, Jiang Ming’s days were obviously not too good.
”You can’t talk nonsense, I had nothing to do with him being hospitalized, we signed a waiver agreement.” Chen Ge walked past Jiang Ming, he actually looked like telling Jiang Ming that in fact, compared to Ma Feng, Jiang Jiu was the one he personally sent to the hospital.
After playing repeatedly a few times, Chen Ge challenged the Virtual Future Land Haunted House points to over 10,000 points before he was ready to leave.
Looking at his back, the haunted house staff were shocked, what big data analysis, visitor simulation in Chen Ge here all lost their role, 10,000 points of this achievement they previously predicted is half a year before someone will be able to reach.
Taking a taxi back to New Century Paradise, Chen Ge went straight to the horror house props room, the room where a lot of props were originally piled up now looked even more crowded, there were a lot more things in the corners, but if you didn’t look carefully you wouldn’t notice them at all, as if those things were originally placed in the corners.
”It always feels as if they originally belonged to the House of Horrors.”
Chen Ge wasn’t sure when these things appeared, giving the impression as if someone had pushed open a certain door and transported the things to the prop room.
”It should be my illusion.” Chen Ge took his black cell phone and compared it to the item profiles, categorizing and arranging all the extracted items.
After 6:00 PM, the House of Horrors stopped shutting down, and when the living employees got off work, Chen Ge took the comic book and called most of the stern ghost employees to the first floor of the haunted house.
If any tourists came in at this time, they would probably be scared alive.
The corridors of the already defunct haunted house were floating with people, each with their makeup still on.
”Some of you have been coming to work for me for a long time, from being uncomfortable in the beginning to now being the mainstay, your changes have exceeded my expectations, and our haunted house has become better and better because of you.” Chen Ge opened the door to the props room, “I am very grateful to all of you, and I also want to do something for all of you.”
”Boss, you’re out of line, we’ve already treated this place as our home, if it wasn’t for the house of horrors, I’m afraid we would still be wandering in some corner of the city.” Old Zhou stood beside Duan Yue, his face full of happiness, “Anyway, I love this job, here I can feel a long lost emotion, I don’t know how to describe it.”
”I don’t really feel like I’m working, it’s more like I’m playing a game, it’s quite fun.” Men Nan said with a casual expression, he just didn’t want to admit that his hallowed Red Clothes would be working for Chen Ge anyway.
”In any other place in this city, no matter what I do, no matter what I see, everything around me seems to be a constant reminder that you’re dead, that this world doesn’t belong to you, and that you’re just an out-of-place, long overdue ghost. But I’ve never felt that way here, I don’t need to hide my true self, no one even goes back to suspect it.” After the “class president” of the psychic ghost school finished speaking, many of the student obsessions nodded their heads as well; they were a bunch of homeless kids.
”In the past I didn’t care about anything, until after I lost everything in gambling I started to regret it, I originally thought that scum like me no longer had the chance to change, but I didn’t expect to meet the boss.” Old White had one hand in his pocket, leaning against the door frame in his bloody clothes: “I didn’t have a choice before, now I just want to be a good haunted house employee.”
Hearing Old White’s voice, Chen Ge blinked, “I’ve always wanted to do as much as I can for you guys, I’ll be giving you some gifts next, don’t worry if you didn’t receive any, they’ll all come later.”
He waved his hand towards Bai Qiulin, “Old Bai, the first gift is for you, I inquired about the whereabouts of your broken hand, it was used by the casino owner as a tool to collect debts.”
Chen Ge handed Bai Qiulin a note with an address, “Originally I wanted to help you get it back, but I think it’s better for you to go over and get it in person, face your past, then start over without any regrets.”
Bai Qiulin was able to become a Red Coat because he swallowed Xiong Qing’s heart, he himself hadn’t found his own heart, so even after becoming a Red Coat, he was still relatively weak.
Receiving the note, Old Bai clutched it tightly with the only hand he had left, even after becoming a Red Clothes, he was still missing a hand.
Normally he could intertwine his fingers and severed hand with his blood, but that was all just self-deception, the crippling in his soul was because of his memories, when he cut off his hand, he also cut off his past.
”Thanks.”
”They are all family members, don’t say thank you in the future.”
Chen Ge patted Old Bai’s shoulder, probably because Old Bai was too excited, he didn’t collect his blood and fury, splattering Chen Ge with blood.
”Do you still have gifts to receive when you’re an employee?” Men Nan stood in the doorway, although his tone was disdainful, there was a hint of envy under his eyes, “Giving an employee a broken hand, this company benefit goes quite well with your temperament.”
Seeing that Men Nan had been muttering about not listening, Chen Ge walked to Men Nan again, “Although you are not an employee of mine here, but after all, you’ve helped me many times, and I’ve prepared a gift for you as well.”
”Me too?!” Men Nan’s eyes lit up, but they quickly returned to normal, “Che, I guess it’s something weird again?”
Chen Ge shook his head as he took out a very carefully and meticulously packaged letter from his pocket, “This is for you, don’t open it yet, read it when you’re alone.”
”What is it? Making it mysterious.” Men Nan took the envelope and didn’t listen to Chen Ge’s words, very curious, he directly opened the envelope, “It’s just a piece of broken paper ……”
His eyes swept over the signature on the piece of paper, as well as the mother’s blessing on the child behind the paper, and Men Nan, who had been very rowdy, fell silent.
Dressed in red, he stood in the doorway, holding the piece of paper in both hands.
Mennan’s mother loved him very much, and there were many things she had not had time to say to Mennan.
”Your mother’s last wish will come true, because you will become happier and happier.” Chen Ge squatted in front of Men Nan and said quietly.
This time, Chen Ge drew a very large number of items, most of which were related to the haunted house employees, and these items were able to help the employees repair flaws in their souls, making them stronger and more perfect.
After distributing gifts to a few more employees, Chen Ge called over Xiao Sun who was looking at him with bated breath.
”Brother, do I get a gift too? To be honest, I have very few friends, and I haven’t received a gift from anyone other than my parents since I grew up.” Little Sun was very much looking forward to it.
”Then I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you, what I’m going to give you isn’t a gift, it’s a life preserving prop.” Chen Ge took out a pair of wedding rings from the props room, which seemed to be made from ashes, with two hearts strung together by chains engraved on them.
”Wedding rings?” Xiao Sun was confused, he suddenly thought of a certain ferocious god in Chen Ge’s shadow, and instantly his soul almost flew away in fear as he waved his hands repeatedly, “Brother, please, please!”
”This wedding ring was made by a woman with his cheating husband’s body, it’s called the engraved wedding ring, the two people who put on the ring will be able to roughly sense each other’s location no matter how far away they are.” Chen Ge handed one of the rings to Xiao Sun, “You’re going to the Cursed Hospital, I’ll keep an eye on your movements at all times in Xinhai, this is not a gift for you, but for you to use to save your life.”
Although he did not receive a gift, Chen Ge’s words still touched Xiao Sun a little.
Chen Ge wasn’t asking Little Sun to send him to his death, but was doing his best to try to help Little Sun.
”Thanks, brother.” Xiao Sun looked at the wedding ring in his palm, his heart was quite warm, but reason told him that it was better to ask more questions, “Brother Chen, are you sure that I can walk to the Cursed Hospital alive with this ring on?”
”What are you trying to say?”
”I was trying to say ……,” Xiao Sun scowled toward Chen Ge’s shadow, desperately hinting.
”Don’t worry, she’s not as careful as you are.” Chen Ge no longer cared about Xiao Sun after he finished speaking, he took out another blue raincoat worn by children from the props room and walked through the employees to the corner.
The red raincoat stood alone in the corner of the crowd, she silently watched everything but did not take a step forward.
At this moment, she was slightly surprised to see Chen Ge come over, and when her eyes swept over the blue raincoat on Chen Ge, it was as if her body had been struck by lightning.
”I found your child’s raincoat for you, and I will definitely fulfill my promise to you.” Chen Ge handed the blue raincoat to the poor mother, “There are curses left on the blue raincoat, I had Red Heels look at it, those curses are not quite the same as the ones left on the Underworld Fetus, and they seem to be related to that hospital in Xinhai.”
As soon as Chen Ge spoke, the red raincoat grabbed his arm, “Take me!”
Looking into Red Raincoat’s eyes, Chen Ge gently nodded, “Definitely.”
Red Raincoat slowly let go of his hand, and at the same time, the black cell phone gently vibrated.
Chen Ge took out his cell phone and glanced at it, Red Raincoat’s message had already appeared in the cell phone’s employee message bar.
The gifts were almost finished being distributed, and the employees all returned to the middle of the underground scene.
Chen Ge sat alone in the prop room, he took out the repeater from his backpack and pressed a certain button.
Rustling electric current sounds rang in his ears, and a blood-red figure silently surfaced beside Chen Ge.
It didn’t pursue any reason, didn’t make any requests, and never even cared if it would be in danger.
As long as Chen Ge pressed the switch on the repeater, he would appear.
”Xu Yin ……”
Chen Ge looked at the older boy standing beside him, and looking at the melancholic and pained face, he took out a sheet of music from the drawer.
