"This is the first time I've seen such an unscary haunted house."
"Props are too fake, stroll around, not only no harm."
"Even a little want to laugh."
"Materialists have nothing to fear!"
"I told you it was boring. I might as well play games in the dormitory. My Pokémon is already level 40."
At the gate of the Horror House in the western suburb of Jiujiang City, several students rode shared bicycles and left without any nostalgia.
See this scene, with a haunted house leaflet.
Chen Ge is quite helpless.
Scare is a technical work, but modern people experience all kinds of thrillers.
Courtesy, strong psychological quality, into the haunted house as in their own backyard.
"Boss!"
Behind him came a clear female voice, Chen Ge turned to look, only to see a nurse's uniform, petite, proud upper circumference of the "zombie", angry, ran out of the haunted house.
"What's the matter, Xiaowan?" The girl, Xu Wan, is one of the extras in the haunted house.
"Those little bastards just now tried to take advantage of me!" She clenched her teeth and clenched her fists.
It turned out to be a complaint.
"It's too much. They don't even spare zombies." As a boss, Chen Ge will naturally help Xiaowan speak: "I go to find the park administrator to respond to the situation and adjust the monitoring."
"You don't have to go to all that trouble. I beat him up preemptively when I realized that the other party had this intention." Xu Wan shook the corner of the nurse's uniform.
Bloodstain: "This is not makeup."
"Well, there's nothing wrong with it. Girls should learn to protect themselves." Chen Ge wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and took a look at the sunset: "That's all for today. It's estimated that there are no tourists. Inform others to get off work early."
When he finished, the girl in front of him did not move.
"Is there anything else?"
"Boss.." Xu Wan hesitated to speak and slowly took out a letter from her pocket: "This is the resignation letter of Tao Ming and Xiao Wei. You treated them well. They were embarrassed to tell you face to face, so they asked me to give it to you."
"They want to go?" Chen Ge is stupefied, receive next envelope: "Each person has an ambition, you also get off work early."
"Well, I'll take off my makeup."
Watching the cute little "zombie" leave, Chen Ge silently lit a cigarette. Six months ago, his parents mysteriously disappeared, leaving only this house of horrors.
In order to keep thinking about it, Chen Ge quit his job and went all out to run the haunted house, hoping to do better. Unfortunately, the times are too fast, the pressure of competition in the haunted house industry is great, and it is relatively unpopular, and there are still many limitations.
After watching the same horror scene once, it will become boring to watch it again, and the constant renovation will require a lot of money.
Since a few weeks ago, the haunted house has been unable to make ends meet, and one day's admission fee is not even a fraction of the water and electricity bills.
"I don't know how long I can hold out."
Putting out his cigarette, Chen Ge was about to go back to the haunted house when a middle-aged man in New Century Paradise overalls came over.
Seeing him, Chen Ge is like a mouse seeing a cat.
"Pretend not to see?" The middle-aged man grabbed Chen Ge's shoulder: "Today.
Let's make it clear that your utilities and venue rent have been in arrears for two months. The top has been urging me, which makes me under a lot of pressure now! "
"Uncle Xu, it's not that I don't give it."
"Recently, the funds are really a little difficult. You give me another month."
"That's what you said last month."
"I promise you, this is definitely the last month!" Chen Ge patted his chest with a sincere face.
"The haunted house business is in the doldrums and can't attract tourists. I say you don't stick to it any more." The middle-aged man, who was called Uncle Xu, looked at the envelope in the singer Chen and slowly reduced the strength of his hands: "You are so young. It's not good to do something. Why do you live so tired?"
"Uncle Xu, I know you're good for me, but this house of horrors means something different to me. It's a dream my parents left me." Chen Ge's voice was deep, as if he didn't want more people to hear it.
As the park administrator, the middle-aged man was very clear about Chen Ge's parents. He did not reply. After a few seconds, he sighed lightly and softened his heart: "I can understand your idea more or less. Ok, I'll try my best to help you again."
You put off for a few weeks. "Thank you, Uncle Xu!"
"Don't thank me. You'd better be careful and sell more tickets to the haunted house."
After seeing off the park administrator, Chen Ge went straight back to the haunted house and began to repeat his daily work, checking the wear and tear of equipment, maintaining props and cleaning.
"The artificial blood plasma in the repair room is running out, so we have to buy another batch." "If this passage is tilted inward, it may be better to block the blind area of tourists' visual angle. " "If the doll is scratched, it needs to be repaired." "Where is my craft lamp? Who stole it?"
In the eyes of outsiders, he is the owner of a house of horrors, and he is also a promising young man who started his own business. In fact, only he knows the sadness behind it.
Haunted house is a kind of "horror" consumption, in the horror environment, people's muscles and spirit will be highly tense, once released, like massage, this way can make people feel satisfied in a short time.
At the same time, haunted houses are also a kind of one-time consumption, and many haunted houses on the market are adopted.
It constantly attracts new tourists to visit by means of mobility in various cities. Haunted houses like Chen Ge, which are fixed in a certain place, will not last long unless they have a particularly big reputation and can attract people to come.
It's not easy for him to support himself for such a long time.
Dragging the scratched doll, Chen Ge entered the repair room. He majored in toy design and manufacturing at university. Many of the dolls and mechanisms in the haunted house were designed by himself.
The repair process is complex and monotonous, requiring the skin of the doll to be sewn, re-colored and old.
"There's something missing. I remember there was stock in the attic." The haunted house is divided into three floors, the first and second floors are used to set up horror scenes, and the third floor is a utility room.
Pushing open the dusty wooden door, the attic was filled with all kinds of obsolete equipment, most of which were left by his parents when they ran haunted house.
Chen Ge miss people when I see things, so he seldom comes here.
"More than half a year has passed in a flash."
Looking at the familiar equipment, Chen Ge remembered his childhood.
At that time, they were still running a mobile haunted house. His parents took him everywhere in the city. Sometimes when the young couple were busy, they threw Chen Ge backstage alone, accompanied by various ghost props, and began to cultivate him from an early age, which also led to Chen Ge's great courage.
After all, when his peers were playing alphabet puzzles, he had already started running around with a human head model.
"It's all memories."
Unconsciously, Chen Ge went to the wooden box where his parents'belongings were stored, which contained a rough puppet and a dark mobile phone.
Puppet was the first toy Chen Ge made when he was a child, and he had no impression of the mobile phone. The two items were found by police in an abandoned hospital in the suburbs, and no one knows why Chen's parents went there late at night.
"It's been so long, where are you?" Chen Ge picked up the cloth.
Chen Ge pinched its face and sighed softly: "I'd better hurry to find artificial plasma. If I can't get through this off-season, the horror house may really be closed for transfer."
Chen Ge was just talking to himself, but when he talked about the transfer of business, the black mobile phone in the wooden box, which had not been moving, suddenly flashed on the screen and emitted a faint cold light.
"What's going on? Black technology? Paranormal activity?"
If another person comes, his heart may beat faster.
Looking around, palms sweating, in contrast, Chen Ge's reaction is very direct, he picked up the phone, put it in front of his eyes, and began to make a second confirmation.
"I tried this phone a hundred times before, but I didn't turn it on. Why did it suddenly start today? It was found in the place where my parents disappeared. Did they know I was in trouble, so they contacted me on their own initiative?"
Holding back the excitement in his heart, Chen Ge slid the screen and the dark mobile phone table.
There is only one application on the surface, and the haunted house is used as the icon.
It's not quite the same as I imagined, but this icon looks familiar, as if it's the door of my own horror house!
Chen Ge frowned and clicked on the app, and a line of blood appeared on the screen-do you believe there are ghosts in the world?
Whether there are ghosts in the world is a philosophical question of surrealism. For a man of science and engineering like Chen Ge, the degree of difficulty is very high.
"There should be."
Chen Ge made his choice, and a few seconds later, new handwriting appeared on the screen of his mobile phone.
What you have in mind is the answer. From this moment on, you will officially succeed me as the new owner of the House of Horrors. Of course, this is not a thing to celebrate, in the final stage of the novice tutorial, I would like to give you a piece of advice, suicide is the most cowardly act, please try to live!
"The amount of information is a little big!"! But what's wrong with his tone of voice in Form Two?
Kind of like my dad?
