, the fastest update I have an adventure house!
“This is the first time I have seen such a non-scary haunted house.”
“The props are too fake. After walking around, not only am I not scared, I even want to laugh.”
p>
"Materialists have nothing to fear!"
"I told you a long time ago that it's boring. It's better to play games in the dormitory. My Kun is already level 80."
At the entrance of the House of Horror in the western suburbs of Hanjiang City, several students rode shared bicycles and left without any regrets.
Seeing this scene, Chen Ge, who was holding a brochure about the haunted house, felt quite helpless.
Scare is a technical job, but modern people have experienced various thrillers and have extremely strong psychological quality. Entering a haunted house is like being in your own backyard.
"Boss!"
A clear female voice came from behind. Chen Ge turned around and saw a petite "zombie" wearing a nurse's uniform. Escape from the haunted house.
"What's wrong, Xiaowan." The girl's name is Xu Wan, and she is one of the extras in the haunted house.
"Those little bastards just wanted to take advantage of me!" She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.
It turned out that I came here to complain...
"It's too much. They didn't even spare the zombies." As the boss, Chen Ge would naturally speak for Xiaowan: "I Go to the park manager to report the situation and adjust the surveillance."
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome. When I noticed that the other party had this intention, I took a preemptive strike and beat him up." Xu Wan trembled. The blood stain on the edge of the nurse's uniform: "This is not makeup."
"Um, it's okay, girls should learn to protect themselves." Chen Ge wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and glanced at the sunset: "Then we'll be here today. I guess there won't be many tourists anymore. Let's notify others to get off work early."
After he finished speaking, the girl with zombie makeup in front of him did not move.
"Is there anything else?"
"Boss..." Xu Wan hesitated, and slowly a letter came out of her pocket: "This is Tao Minghe "Xiao Wei's resignation letter, you treated them well, but they were embarrassed to tell you in person, so they asked me to give it to you."
"They want to leave?" Chen Ge was stunned for a moment and accepted the envelope. : "Everyone has his own ambitions, so you should get off work early."
"Yes, I'm going to take off my makeup."
Seeing this cute little "zombie" leave, Chen Ge Silently lit a cigarette.
Six months ago, his parents disappeared mysteriously, leaving only this house of horror.
In order to keep thinking about it, Chen Ge quit his job and devoted himself to running the haunted house, hoping to do better.
Unfortunately, times are changing too fast. The haunted house industry is under great pressure of competition, is relatively unpopular, and still has many limitations.
After watching the same horror scene once, it will become boring to watch it again, and constant renovation requires a lot of money.
Starting a few weeks ago, the haunted houseThe operation is already making ends meet, and the day's admission fee is not even enough to cover the water and electricity bills.
“I don’t know how long I can last.”
After extinguishing his cigarette, Chen Ge was about to return to the haunted house when a middle-aged man wearing New Century Paradise overalls walked away. come over.
Seeing him, Chen Ge was like a mouse meeting a cat, he quickly quickened his pace.
"Are you pretending not to see it?" The middle-aged man grabbed Chen Ge's shoulders: "Let's make things clear today. You have been in arrears for water, electricity and venue rent for two months. The above has been Urgent, I'm under a lot of pressure now!"
"Uncle Xu, it's not that I won't give it, it's really difficult to have funds recently, please give me another month."
"You said the same thing last month."
"I assure you, this is definitely the last month!" Chen Ge patted his chest with a sincere expression.
"The haunted house business is in a slump right now and can't attract tourists. I tell you not to persist any longer." The middle-aged man named Uncle Xu looked at the envelope in Singer Chen's hand. His strength gradually decreased: "You are so young, why do you have to live so tiredly if you are so young?"
"Uncle Xu, I know you are doing it for my own good, but this house of horrors is not good for me. "It means different things, it's a thought left to me by my parents," Chen Ge said in a low voice, as if he didn't want more people to hear.
As a park manager, the middle-aged man knew everything about Chen Ge’s parents. He didn’t reply. After a few seconds, he sighed softly and softened his mind: “I can understand you to some extent. I think, okay, I’ll try to delay it for a few more weeks.”
“Thank you, Uncle Xu!”
“Don’t thank me, you’d better use snacks to sell more tickets to the haunted house. Go out."
After sending the park administrator away, Chen Ge went directly back to the haunted house and began to repeat his daily work, checking equipment wear and tear, maintaining props, and cleaning.
"The artificial plasma in the repair room is almost used up, so I have to buy another batch; this passage is tilted inward, which may better block the blind spots of tourists' perspectives; the doll is scratched, I need to mend it; wipe it! Who stole my craft lamp?"
In the eyes of outsiders, he is a promising young man who started his own business. Only he himself knows the sadness behind this.
Haunted houses can be regarded as a kind of "horror" consumption. In a scary environment, people's muscles and spirits will be highly tense. Once they are released, it will be like a massage. This method can make people feel a sense of urgency in a short period of time. Satisfaction.
At the same time, haunted houses are also a one-time consumption. Many haunted houses on the market move around cities to continuously attract new tourists to visit. A haunted house like Chen Ge that is fixed in a certain place will not last long unless it is extremely famous and attracts people to come here.
It is not easy for him to be able to support himself for such a long time.
Dragling the smashed doll, Chen Ge entered the repair room. He studied it in college.He majors in toy design and manufacturing. He designed many of the dolls and mechanisms in the haunted house himself.
The repair process is complicated and monotonous. It requires sewing the doll's skin, re-coloring and distressing.
"It's almost plasma, I remember there is still stock in the attic." The haunted house has three floors, the first and second floors are used to decorate scary scenes, and the third floor is the utility room.
Pushing open the dusty wooden door, the attic was filled with all kinds of discarded equipment, most of which were left behind when his parents ran the haunted house.
I miss people when I see things, so Chen Ge rarely comes here.
“More than half a year has passed in a flash.”
Looking at the familiar equipment, Chen Ge thought of his childhood.
At that time, they were still running mobile haunted houses, and his parents took him around the city. Sometimes when the couple was busy, they would throw Chen Ge alone backstage and create a ghost house with various ghost props. He has been training since childhood, which also makes Chen Ge very courageous.
After all, when his peers were playing alphabet puzzles, he was already running around holding a model of a human head.
“It’s all memories.”
Unconsciously, Chen Ge walked to the wooden box where his parents’ belongings were stored. Inside, there was a rough puppet and a dark mobile phone. .
Puppets were the first toy Chen Ge made when he was a child, but he had no memory of cell phones.
The police found these two things in an abandoned hospital in the suburbs. As for why Chen Ge's parents went there late at night, no one knew the reason.
"It's been so long, where are you?" Chen Ge picked up the puppet, pinched its face, and sighed softly: "I'd better find artificial plasma quickly. If If we can't survive this off-season, the House of Horrors may really have to close down for transfer."
Chen Ge was just talking to himself, but when he mentioned the closure and transfer, the black mobile phone in the wooden box remained silent. Suddenly the screen flashed and emitted a faint cold light.
"What's going on? Black technology? Supernatural phenomena?"
If it were someone else, his heartbeat might speed up, he would look around, and his palms would sweat. In comparison, Chen Ge's reaction would be Very directly, he picked up the phone, put it in front of his eyes, and started to confirm it twice.
"I tried this phone a hundred times before but it didn't turn on. Why did it suddenly start on its own today? I found it from the place where my parents disappeared. Could it be that they knew that I was in trouble right now, so they turned it on. Contact me proactively?"
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Chen Ge swiped the screen. There was only one application on the dark phone desktop, and it used a haunted house as its icon.
“It’s not the same as expected, but this icon looks familiar. It seems to be the door of my own horror house!”
Chen Ge frowned and clicked on the app. A line of bloody words appeared on the screen - Do you believe there are ghosts in this world?
Is there any ghost in the world? This is a surreal philosophical question. It is difficult for a science and engineering man like Chen Ge.The coefficient is very high.
"There should be..."
Chen Ge made his choice, and after a few seconds, new handwriting appeared on the screen of his phone.
"What you think in your heart is the answer. From this moment on, you will officially succeed me as the new owner of the horror house. Of course, this is not something worth celebrating. At the end of the novice tutorial At this stage, I want to give you a piece of advice. Suicide is the most cowardly behavior. Please try to live!"
"The amount of information is a bit overwhelming! But his tone of voice is so silly, why should I tell you that? "Dad looks a bit like him?"
Chen Ge clicked on the Haunted House app again, and a new interface appeared:
