"Are two Red Specters that scary?" Chen Ge continued eating without raising his head.
Hearing that, Doctor Chen was speechless. He had heard some rumors about Chen Ge before, and he shook his head with a bitter smile. "That is very scary for me already."
"Doctor Chen, I still have other things to do, but I'll come back later to ask you some questions. Hopefully, you'll answer them honestly since I've saved your life." Chen Ge put down the boxed lunch and took a sip of the water. His action and expression was different from what he was going to say next. "Down at the underground morgue, you once told me, your surname is not really Chen Ge. You only go by that name because someone asked you to use it to do something for him in Western Jiujiang."
"I told you that?" Doctor Chen hesitated but did not deny it. "That's right."
"Who is that person? Why the surname Chen? What is the favor that he asked of you to do in Western Jiujiang?" Chen Ge asked three questions at the same time.
Doctor Chen thought about it, and he gave Chen Ge the reply. "I knew the old director from the Third Sick Hall and once worked under him. When the door there first appeared, the old director approached me. I personally went to look around the door and even went behind it."
Doctor Chen lowered his head in thought. "I should be the first person to have entered the world behind the door other than Men Nan. I've seen many things there; it was like a nightmare. I've only told this secret to two other people—the old director and my best friend, Doctor Gao.
"The three of us decided to seal up the door with cement, but the effect was not so good. The door would still appear, and the blood would seep through the adjacent walls at midnight.
"Perhaps because I've been to the world behind the door, I felt like it was being possessed by something. Whenever midnight arrived, I could hear the scratching of nails underneath my bed. There was no one in the toilet from the half-open door, I could see a black shadow in the mirror. It was facing my bed like it was trying to crawl out from the mirror.
"I was a psychology student, so when these things first appeared, the first thing I did was diagnose myself to ensure that these were not part of a hallucination. There have been cases of psychologists ending up in the psychiatric ward before, so I thought something had happened to me. However, a series of things that happened later changed my mind.
"On the third night after coming out from the blood door, I saw a man standing outside the window, his head facing my bed. My house was on the third floor, and there was no security net on the second floor—that was not where the air-conditioning machine was placed. After taking away all the possibilities, the only conclusion was that the man was at least three meters tall. The man looked at me for a long time before crawling into a family's apartment on the second floor.
"I immediately called the police, but they couldn't find that suspicious man on the second floor. With the complaints from the downstairs neighbor, the police brought me away to be interrogated instead. The next morning, when I was at the station, I heard the news of my downstairs neighbor committing suicide. The victim's death was very strange. His shoulders were sunken, and his expression was filled with terror.
"I suspected that the man's death had something to do with that man I saw. I told the police everything, but the police officer suggested I go for a psychiatric consultation. I remember showing him my ID.
"The police still refused to believe me. Instead, a brother at the station who looked friendly got interested in my story. Initially, I thought he was also an officer, but after a long conversation, I realized the man was just released from lockup due to impersonating law enforcement, speeding, and so on."
Doctor Chen sighed. "I didn't dare go home and tried my best to figure out a way to stay at the station. It was not until rumors about my mental state started to do the rounds at my workplace that I had to leave the police station.
"After I went home, the man's shadow kept appearing at the window. I was afraid that I would be the next victim, so I directly moved to the most crowded and populated hotel in the city.
"That continued for a month. The man stopped appearing, and my life returned to normal.
"However, it was not a solution to stay at the hotel forever, so I planned to sell my old home and buy a new one in the city. Actually, I had planned that for a long time already. After paying the down payment, I contacted a moving company in Eastern Jiujiang and planned to move some important stuff during the day.
"The new place was fifteen floors tall, and I purposely chose the top floor. After all the furniture had been moved, it was already late afternoon. I treated the moving workers to dinner and had a few drinks myself. I was ready to move into a new place to start a new life."
Here, Doctor Chen paused. "Returning to the new home, I lay in the familiar bed and soon fell asleep. At around midnight, I woke up from the chill. I curled up in the mattress, and when I turned my head to the side, I suddenly realized that there was a man in the room. I was awakened by the shock instantly. Upon closer inspection, the man in the room was the monster I'd seen before!
"He was more than three meters tall. His upper body was straight, and his lower body was still crawling out from underneath the bed. There was a strange smile on his face, and his lips said, 'You've finally returned.'
"I did not expect that the monster would be hiding under my bed, and I ran out like crazy. I did not stop to put on my shoes as I charged out the door. I did not dare turn back to look. I ran down the corridor and cried for help, but there was no response.
"My shoulders became heavier like the monster was standing on my shoulders. A laughter came from above me, and my sight turned blurrier. The corridor seemed to have twisted, and I knew that I was about to fall.
"Resisting the nausea, I reached the mouth of the stairs. When I felt like my five senses were about to be taken over, I heard the sound of a lighter.
"A dancing flame appeared in my sight, and I soon saw a man leaning against the wall of the stairs, lighting the cigarette on his lips. This man was familiar. It was the man whom I saw at the station, the one that had been brought in due to his many criminal activities.
"His cigarette burned slowly, and as the ash fell, I heard begging noises coming from above my shoulders. The cigarette burned to its end, and the monster on my shoulders completely disappeared.
"It was he who saved me. I had a long chat with him that night. He told me about the hidden world and taught me how to close the door in the Third Sick Hall. He was the one who asked me to use his surname to do something for him in Western Jiujiang."
Doctor Chen stopped to take a sip of the water. He looked at Chen Ge and said, "The man looked very similar to you, and the request he asked of me is related to you."

"Looks like me, the favor he asked is related to me, smokes cigarette, and is happy go lucky." Chen Ge did feel like Doctor Chen was describing his father, but then he thought about it and realized that was not right. "I am such a big helper and lawful citizen; how could my father impersonate the police and speed drive? There has to be some misunderstanding."
Doctor Chen looked at the bloodied tape that was turning in the recorder, and he did not comment but just nodded slightly. "That is what I thought as well. Whether that was your father or not, the favor he asked was definitely related to you."
"Tell me."
"For that, we have to go back to the Third Sick Hall. I followed the man's instructions, and with Men Nan's main persona's help, we successfully closed the door. However, about half a year later, I realized that the door was opened again."
"Was it the old director?" When Chen Ge completed the mission at the Third Sick Hall, he had found out that the old director was suffering from cancer. He did not want to die, so he had escaped into the world behind the door.
Doctor Chen shook his head. "The director was too old, and he did not have the guts. It was Doctor Gao who opened the door, and it was him who was talking into the old director's ears."
Sighing, the emotions in Doctor Chen's eyes became complicated. "I treated Doctor Gao as my dearest friend, so I understood why he did that. If I was in his shoes, I perhaps would have done the same thing because I know how much he loved his wife."
Finishing the water, Doctor Chen described what had happened over the past few years. "On how to deal with the door, there was a difference of opinion between me and Doctor Gao. I believe that the door is misfortune, an omen of tragedy, a problem that needs to be fixed immediately.
"However, Doctor Gao's opinion was different from mine. He believed that the door could be used. Emotions like despair, pain, and anger could be manipulated. At the time, I didn't know he had already opened a door of his own. Due to the difference of ideals, we eventually broke off.
"In the end, when I was forcing my way to close the door, I realized that he not only had a very good understanding of the door, he even owned a Red Specter. I was not his match, so I went to the man for help. From his perspective, we probably looked like two children arguing.
"He did not accost Doctor Gao. Instead, he went into the door at the Third Sick Hall. He seemed to make an important discovery inside that world, and that was related to his later disappearance."
Doctor Chen suddenly paused. He looked at Chen Ge as if wondering whether to tell the rest.
"Don't hesitate—just tell me everything you know." While Chen Ge was listening to Doctor Chen, he had already finished the boxed lunch.
"You should have been to the world behind the door at the Third Sick Hall already, but I wonder if Men Nan's main persona has told you that the window in one of the rooms can't be closed."
"Window?" Chen Ge thought about it. When Chen Ge recently visited the Third Sick Hall, Men Nan did appear like he had been busy fixing the windows. "Yes, I do know that."
"The man crossed swords with a monster behind the door, and they broke the window. I do not know what happened, but when the man left the door, there was a frown on his face. Then he asked me of this favor."
Doctor Chen stood up from the bed, and his expression was serious. "He gave me three scenarios, and the favor would be different depending on these three scenarios. If you did not take up the Haunted House and chose to enter another field, then I was supposed to help you from the dark; if you took up the Haunted House but the results were not great, I was supposed to write you a letter every year with Mr. Chen's name to tell you to give up; if you took up the Haunted House and did a good job, I was supposed to find you and tell you something in person."
"What is it?" Chen Ge had a feeling that his parents had already predicted that he would take good care of the Haunted House.
Doctor Chen's expression turned the most serious that it had been so far. He looked into Chen Ge's eyes and said, "Do not go looking for them."
"Do not go looking for them?" Chen Ge narrowed his eyes, smiling, but did not add anything beyond that.
"It's such a shame because I failed to help you and even ended up needing your help." Doctor Chen did not know what to say. Chen Ge's parents probably would not have predicted this as well.
"What were they doing before they disappeared? Anything weird they have told you or done, tell me everything." Chen Ge's words sounded more like an order than a question.
Doctor Chen was afraid that Chen Ge might do something stupid, so he answered honestly. "They stopped contacting me after telling me this. I know that they had been going to Eastern Jiujiang before their disappearance like they were looking for something."
"If they stopped contacting you, how do you know they had been to Eastern Jiujiang?" Chen Ge placed his finger on the recorder, and the bloodied tape turned slowly.
"These things are easy to find out. Eastern Jiujiang was relatively quiet, but for a period before your parents' disappearance, mysterious cases of ghost arson, ghost highways, cursed hospitals, water ghosts, cursed babies, and many other things were revealed." Doctor Chen shivered just talking about them. "Whenever midnight arrived, something would happen in Eastern Jiujiang. After your parent's disappearance, Eastern Jiujiang became quiet again."
"You suspect that those things have something to do with my parents?"
"I'm ninety percent sure."
"Are you kidding?" Chen Ge held the recorder and frowned. "We've always been a family of lawful citizens—why would they be involved in those things? Were they perhaps dragged into a big conspiracy?"
"That shouldn't be the case. Eastern Jiujiang used to be quiet like it is now. There haven't been any big case or too many supernatural happenings." Doctor Chen subconsciously lowered his voice.
"Something is up. After I'm done here, we shall both go to Eastern Jiujiang to take a look. There has to be a storm under the calm surface," Chen Ge told Doctor Chen. "You can stay here for now; I'll bring you out when the night falls."
"Okay." Doctor Chen sneaked a look at the recorder. "I will not run away, so you can take that recorder with you."
"You're my guest; how can I leave you here alone?" Chen Ge exited the room and placed the recorder by the door. "If you have any demand, just tell the Red Specter. I'll come back at 7 pm."
"Then… thank you." Doctor Chen picked up the boxed lunch and started to eat. Watching Chen Ge disappear down the corridor, he shook his head with a bitter smile. "This feeling sure is familiar…"

After moving the trash out of the Third Sick Hall, Chen Ge went to the toilet to wash his face and threw himself back into work. At 6:30 pm, the Haunted House closed down for the day. Chen Ge had Xu Wan and Xiao Gu clean up the place while he went to look for Uncle Xu to borrow the park's van. He wanted to use it to transport the mannequins back from the workshop. When he was done with all that, he entered the underground scenario to find Doctor Chen.
They exchanged contact details. Then Chen Ge used the black cloth to close Doctor Chen's eyes and led him out of the Haunted House. He left the doctor in Western Jiujiang's countryside. It did not take that long because Chen Ge returned to New Century Park at almost 7 pm. Xu Wan and Gu Feiyu had already cleaned the Haunted House by then.
"Thank you for your hard work. Leave the rest to me." Chen Ge accepted the broom and took out his phone to call Qian Guigen.
"Boss Qian, please prepare the materials now. I might spend a whole night at the workshop to rush the first batch of mannequins."
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the workshop," Boss Qian answered easily. Just as his little shop was running out of business, it was Chen Ge who gave him hope.
After hanging up, Chen Ge turned around to see Xu Wan and Xiao Gu, who were still standing there. "Is there anything else?"
"You're the boss, but how come I feel like you have it worse than the employees? It feels like you're always working through the night right now." Without the dead people's make-up, Xu Wan was cute, but compared to when she first arrived at the Haunted House, she had a maturity about her now.
"Brother Chen, is there anything the two of us can help with?" Xiao Gu also walked over. "After all, there's nothing important waiting for me at home anyway."
The employees volunteered to work extra time, and that was quite touching for Chen Ge. He thought about it and realized that carrying twenty mannequins alone was quite tiring, so he did not reject their help. "Okay, you two come with me then. We'll try to finish everything by midnight."
Closing the door, Chen Ge hopped into the park's van and drove Xu Wan and Gu Feiyu to the workshop. Chen Ge had already done the base that morning, so he gave his employees a brief lesson and handed them work like transportation and filling, which did not require much skill. At 11 pm, the twenty mannequins were all done.
The mannequins used the best material and were human-size. However, to save time, Chen Ge did not put make-up or clothes on the mannequins yet. The group worked together to move the mannequins into the van and back to the Haunted House. "I'll work on the rest myself. You can go home now."
Chen Ge looked at the time. The Haunted House would welcome its third expansion at midnight, and it would upgrade to a Maze of Terror. He was afraid that the sudden change might arouse Xu Wan and Xiao Gu's suspicion.
"Boss, there are so many mannequins here. How long will it take you to carry them yourself?" Xiao Gu looked at the mannequins lined up in the corridor, and it did look quite scary in the dark.
"I'll need to put some make-up on them so that we can put them into use tomorrow." Chen Ge thanked the two and closed the Haunted House's door.
"Do you plan to do that alone?" Gu Feiyu still wanted to say something, but Chen Ge had already started working. "So hardworking. Success in this world really only comes to those who work hard for it."
"Well, that's a life lesson for you. Anyway, I'll see you tomorrow morning." Xu Wan shrugged and left. Gu Feiyu was left alone in the park.
Compared to the rowdiness in the morning, the park at night was dark and silent. The image of the mannequins collapsing over one another appeared in his mind, and he shivered. "The boss is ultimately the boss. If it was me, I would have run out after the first night."
Xiao Gu walked out from New Century Park. It was already 11:30 pm, and the bus had stopped running. His rental was quite far from the park.
"Should I call the cab?" Gu Feiyu reached into his pocket and felt sorry for himself. He had lived in the city for months already, but Chen Ge was the only boss who had paid him his salary. The rent and hospital had taken up quite a large amount of money. Normally, he would not even call for take-out; he had been cooking for himself to save money.
"Since I have nothing better to do, I could try walking home. I should cover as much distance as I can before I need to call the cab—that's the best way to save money." Gu Feiyu plugged his earphones in and started to walk down the road. The chilly night breeze crawled through his sleeves. There was no one else on the road, and the lights on the sidewalk were getting dark.
He walked for around forty minutes, and at around midnight, Gu Feiyu suddenly heard someone ask him for his destination and whether he would like to hop into his car.
He pulled his earphones out and looked around, but there was no one there.
"That's weird. Did the sound came from the earphones?" He put the earphones back in and repeated the previous song, but he did not hear anything unusual. "That was weird."
Gu Feiyu did not understand it. The lights by the street dimmed, and he walked ahead on his own. The buildings became smaller and the road quieter. He used this road when he returned home every day, but that day, something was different. He walked for another ten minutes when he reached a junction. One was the normal road that he used to head home, and the other looked so unfamiliar like he had not seen it before.
"Where are you going?" That voice appeared in his ears again. Gu Feiyu removed the earphones and looked to the side. He realized that a bus was stopping behind him. The bus itself looked old, and it did not even have the headlights on. There were a few passengers on it—they had their faces lowered, probably looking on their phone.
"There are still buses running at 1 am?" Gu Feiyu was weirdly worried. He walked back to the wall, and right then, his phone suddenly vibrated. Opening it, Gu Feiyu realized that it was a bonus from Chen Ge. It was attached with a voice message. "Thank you for your help earlier, Xiao Gu. This is your bonus for the overtime."
Chen Ge's voice was warm in the cold night. Xiao Gu was about to tell Chen Ge about the weird things that night, but before he could make the call, he turned around to look, and the bus had already driven away. It entered the road that he felt was very unfamiliar. Standing at the junction, Gu Feiyu saw the bus leave. The lights returned to normal, and he no longer felt as cold.
"That was strange." Gu Feiyu did not dare to wander about anymore. He waited at the junction and called a passing cab.
"Where are you going?"
"The apartment next to Ming Hwa Zhuang." Gu Feiyu was still thinking about the bus. He asked the driver with some uncertainty, "Boss, did you spot a bus when you were coming over?"
"No." The driver glanced at Gu Feiyu through the rearview mirror and grumbled, "What is wrong with you youngsters lately? A few days ago, I picked up a passenger in Eastern Jiujiang, almost the same age as you. The first thing he asked was whether I'd seen a moving company's truck when I was driving on the road. The road is big, can you tell whether a vehicle has passed or not for yourself?"

"You didn't see it?" Xiao Gu turned back to look, and the buildings on the side of the road seemed to change again. "That's weird; the bus was still there earlier."
…
Inside the dressing room of the Haunted House, after sending the bonuses to Xu Wan and Xiao Gu, he tossed the phone aside and focused on putting the make-up on the mannequins. With Mortician's Make-up, he reconstructed the cadavers' most realistic look. Their eyes were popping and filled with envy toward the living.
I should hollow out the faces for these few, maybe I can make them detachable. The face will turn and shatter when the visitors get close.
Chen Ge tried his best and worked until 2 am, when he finished the make-up on all twenty mannequins.
By then, Chen Ge was feeling tired. He set his alarm and went to sleep. He had just lain down when the phone in his pocket vibrated. In his blurred state, he sought out his phone and realized that it was a new message on the black phone.
"Congratulations for completing the third expansion! The Haunted house has been upgraded to a Maze of Terror! The maximum number of ownable Red Specters has increased! The limitation on the number of employees has increased!
"Maze of Terror's Special Effect: Lowering of sense of direction (The rest of the special effect will unlock after the fourth expansion; it will be a process of the body and the soul being lost).
"Specter's Favored, congratulations for upgrading the Haunted House to Maze of Terror. The random unique construct won is 'The Screaming Door'!
"The Screaming Door: When you're all prepared to scream, you'll be able to push open this door! Third expansion completed; three-star scenario underground morgue has been unlocked!"
Chen Ge woke up instantly from the successive messages. The expansion is already done‽
He put on his jacket and ran out the staff breakroom. When he prepared to go underground, he realized that the wooden boards next to the entrance to Night of the Living Dead had disappeared. In their place was a pure-black, steel door that was carved with the faces of various baleful Specters!
This is the new reward? The Screaming Door? The solid door blocked the only entrance and exit. Chen Ge walked to the door and touched the realistic carving, and the screams echoed in his mind. He held the door handle and pushed it open.
After the upgrade, the underground scenario looked creepier. Walking in it, it felt like someone was calling his name and he was almost convinced to follow it.
There should be other hidden effects. He walked down the stairs. The left path led to Mu Yang High School, the right led to the Third Sick Hall, the road forward led to Coffin Village, and the newly unlocked underground morgue was directly behind.
Chen Ge took a spin, and with the black phone's help, he checked all the scare points. After confirming that there were no security threats, he returned to the ground floor to move the mannequins into the scenario.
The mannequins can house several ghosts. After they get used to this tempo, this should come as quite a surprise to the visitors. Oh right, where should I put the doctors? Scaring people is not their specialty—maybe I should set up a special medic room for them to stop them from running about.
Chen Ge designed the scenario, and when he was done, it was already dawn. He slept for as long as he could, and he woke up punctually at 8:15 am. He opened the door. A new day has arrived. Hopefully, the visitors will love the new scenario.
He took out his phone and released the information on the new scenario on the app designed by Director Luo for the Haunted House. When this new introduction appeared in the app, it immediately attracted the attention of all the online users.
Many were surprised at how fast Chen Ge's Haunted House was expanding. Their clearing speed was slower than the boss' expansion. Many people left messages that they were going to challenge the new scenario, and some pointed out that Chen Ge really did love his job or else he would not have worked so fast to make such great quality content for them to enjoy.
"This system designed by Director Luo sure has its uses." Chen Ge snapped a few pictures of the new scenario and uploaded them. Seeing the reception, he logged off. "The warm reception is to be expected. Today will probably mark the return of the fervent aficionado."
Xu Wan entered the park at 8:20 am. Chen Ge helped her with the make-up, but even after Xu Wan got into the scenario, Xiao Gu was still not there. "Stuck in traffic?"
He tried to call, but no one answered. At around 9 am, Chen Ge saw Xiao Gu run into the park.
"Boss, I'm so sorry!" Xiao Gu gasped for air, and his face was rather pale.
"Did something happen to you?" Chen Ge looked at Xiao Gu and felt that something was wrong.
"I returned too late last night and did not have a good night sleep, so I woke up late this morning." Xiao Gu apologized multiple times. "Boss, I'll go do my make-up now."
"Okay, no need to rush." Chen Ge looked at Xiao Gu, who ran into the Haunted House, and could not shake the feeling that something was off. He reminded himself to pay him extra attention.
The park opened at 9 am. The visitors rushed in, and Chen Ge could clearly tell that the holiday was coming—the number of visitors had increased so much. When the holiday arrives, the real battle between us and the futuristic park will begin. As long as we do not lose too many visitors, there's a chance we can win this.
Chen Ge had seen the inside information of the park, so he was familiar with their strength.
In just five minutes after the park opened, there was already a long queue at the Haunted House. Some had even started lining up before the park even opened. They rushed toward the Haunted House when the gate opened.
"Please don't push!" Uncle Xu and the workers came to help maintain the order. Chen Ge entered the resting hall to use his phone to enter the intro that he had written for the new scenario into the screen.
"Weird noises came from the morgue, and the trolley that transported the dead bodies moved up and down the corridor. Formalin was thick in the air. To leave this place, you need to make a choice—a choice between red or white corridor.
"There is a group of immortals living under the biggest underground morgue in Jiujiang. Their eyes open when they smelled the formalin. This is the latest three-star scenario at the Haunted House—The Underground Morgue."
The intro managed to grab the attention of many visitors, but they were clever now. No one was willing to be the first test subject.
"Like usual, since today is the first day for the new scenario, the ticket price for the new scenario will be halved!"

A new scenario was open, but no one was willing to come visit. From the interaction of the visitors on the app, they were curious about the new scenarios, but only experienced visitors who had survived a two-star scenario could withstand the terror of a three-star scenario. Every one of them was more cautious than the last; they waited for others to scout the road ahead for them and bring back firsthand information. Some who were familiar with Chen Ge's Haunted House had even found seats at the resting hall to wait for the show to begin.
This batch of visitors sure is lacking; they are too cowardly. None of them are willing to come forward. Chen Ge took his phone and walked back to the Haunted House. After he left, the situation became excited. The visitors whispered to one another, talking about the new scenario.
Every scenario in Chen Ge's Haunted House felt very realistic; they were the boss' labor of love. Three three-star scenarios, each offering a different experience. This made the visitors' hearts all conflicted. They were curious and wanted to try them out, but they were afraid of the possible scares.
"Mr. Mu, it was this Haunted House that sent Brother Wong to the hospital. Even now, he's still recovering." There was a young man in jeans in the crowd, whispering to the middle-aged man standing next to him. "He opened a new scenario in just a few days. I believe they have already prepared everything beforehand and are just waiting for the holidays to unveil everything to fight with us. This latest scenario is quite possibly not the last scenario that he has prepared."
"Of course, people will keep the best for last. However, it is still too difficult for New Century Park to fight with us with just a Haunted House. They're walking on the edge of the knife; it is very problematic for them to position their theme park thusly. The focus is too singular," the middle-aged man explained.
"Then, should we just ignore them? Let them die out on their own?" The young man thought that the middle-aged man had a point.
"We cannot do that either." The middle-aged man looked at the excited visitors around them and lowered his voice. "One theme park is more than enough in Jiujiang. We only need to incorporate New Century Park's uniqueness into our own. Then, this place will have no reason to exist."
"Incorporate their uniqueness into our own?" The young man nodded like he understood somewhat. "Meaning we should open a Haunted House of our own? I seem to remember Brother Wong saying something like that when he came last time."
"Our technical ability is at least five years ahead of New Century Park's. We have stuff that they don't, and we can easily copy what they have. Therefore, they have technically zero chance of winning." The middle-aged man had already come up with a plan. "However, before that, we have to solve a problem, which is to figure out why this place is so popular. Based on my understanding, New Century Park's House of Horrors managed to create unprecedented popularity on the internet. The good reviews are so high that it is something that has not been achieved by other Haunted Houses before."
"Understood, shall we visit the scenario that Brother Wong experienced before?" The young man glanced at the screen in the hall. "But it feels like his new scenario is quite interesting as well."
The middle-aged man considered it seriously. "Xiao Lee, you are the most courageous person our team has. Today's mission will be very important. I will cooperate with you from the outside. Remember to send me all the important details."
"You're not coming with us?" The young man was startled.
"There has to be someone who stays outside. I heard that Brother Wong recorded important footage last time, but unfortunately, it was deleted. We cannot allow that to happen again. After you finish the recording, send it to me immediately, and I will upload it to the company's server."
Mr. Mu's words were very convincing, but Xiao Lee was not feeling comfortable. Only when a person fainted could others delete the stuff on their phone without being discovered. Listening to Mr. Mu's plan, the company sounded like they were prepared to sacrifice him. "Then, let me start with a one-star scenario."
Many visitors were curious with the arrival of a new scenario, but they were lacking a leader. Chen Ge stood inside the Haunted House, observing the situation outside. He wished that he could summon some ghost to take the lead for them. It was not until 11 am that someone in the lines finally lost their patience.
"We have already visited the Third Sick Hall and Coffin Village—the requirement to pass is to find a specific item. To find something in such a large area is too difficult. Wait for me while I go ask the boss. If the clearing requirement for the new scenario is not a treasure hunt, I think perhaps we still have some hope of clearing it." The person who spoke was Yang Chen from Western Jiujiang Medical University. He had seen the introduction to the Haunted House's new scenario that morning. He had skipped school and come with two of his friends to come visit.
"Are you sure you want to try that new scenario? Boss, did forget how the three of us were sent out of the Haunted House before?" The one speaking was Wang Dan. He was still running that mouth of his.
"We should think this through." The last to speak was Lee Xue, the girl who looked so studious. The three of them had visited the place before. When they visited, they happened to be with the same group as the members of the ghost stories society. After Chen Ge dealt with the members, he had given the three free tickets for their next visit.
"We came because this is a new scenario. If you surrender now, what's the point of us skipping class?" Yang Chen looked at the line that was approaching the Haunted House. "How about this? We'll buy the ticket first but not go in yet. When there are more than enough visitors to go with us, we can go in together. The bigger the group, the harder it'll be for us to get scared."
The two friends agreed. Under Uncle Xu's pity-filled gaze, they bought the ticket to the new scenario and moved into the Haunted House.
"Sign the disclaimer first. The pen and paper are on the table." Chen Ge lifted his head, and when he saw it was his old customers, he immediately turned friendly.
"Boss, we're here to try out the new scenario."
Hearing the words 'new scenario', the smile exploded on Chen Ge's face. "The new scenario has a half-price promotion today; you came at the right time."
Seeing the smile on Chen Ge's face, Yang Chen's hair stood on end. He quickly explained, "We want to wait for more people before we go in."
"No problem. Go and rest over there for now. I'll go get some drinks for you."
"There's no need, boss. We're not that thirsty…" Yang Chen still wanted to say something but was interrupted by Chen Ge.
"There's no need to be so polite around me. We're family, right? I feel so close to you students from the university." Chen Ge passed water to the three. "Wait here, I'll go look around outside."
Chen Ge walked out and yelled at the visitors, "Does anyone else want to experience the new scenario? Now, we already have six visitors registered for this session. Since this is the first time, to give everyone a chance to get used to things, I will allow ten people to go in together!"
