Chapter 1: The horror house on the verge of collapse

"This is the first time I saw such a scary haunted house."
"The props are too fake. I strolled around, not only not afraid, but I even wanted to laugh."
"The materialists are fearless!"
"I told you it was boring long ago. It's better to play games in the dormitory. My kun is already 80."
In front of the horror house in the western suburbs of Jiujiang City, several students rode on a shared bicycle and left without any attachment.
Seeing this scene, Chen Ge holding a haunted house flyer was quite helpless.
Scary is a technical job, but modern people have experienced various baptisms in thrillers, and their psychological quality is very strong. Entering a haunted house is just like being in their own backyard.
"Boss!"
Came from behind a clear female voice, Chen Ge turned his head to look and saw a petite, zombie
zombie
wearing a nurse's uniform, angry, and ran out of the haunted house.
"What's the matter, Xiaowan." The girl is called Xu Wan and is one of the extras in the haunted house.
"The few small just now, want to take advantage of me!" She gritted her tiger teeth and clenched her fist.
Turned out to sue ...
"Too much, they didn't even let the zombies pass." As the boss, Chen Ge will naturally help Xiao Wan to speak: "I go to the park administrator to react to the situation and adjust the monitoring."
"Don't be so troublesome. When I noticed the other party's attempt, I preemptively and beat him up." Xu Wan shook the blood stains on the corner of the nurse's uniform: "This is not makeup."
"Oh, no problem, girls should learn to protect themselves." Chen Ge wiped his forehead cold sweat and glanced at the sunset: "Then come here today, it is estimated that there are no tourists, notify others, and get off work early."
After he finished speaking, the girl with zombie makeup in front of him did not move.
"Any thing else?"
"Boss ..." Xu Wan stopped talking, and slowly a letter emerged from his pocket: "This is the resignation letter of Tao Ming and Xiao Wei. You treat them well, they are embarrassed to tell you in person, so Just ask me to pass it on to you. "
"They are going?" Chen Ge froze for a moment, and accepted the envelope: "Everyone has their own ambitions, so you should get off work early."
"En, let me remove makeup."
Watched this cute little zombie leave, Chen Ge silently lit a cigarette.
Six months ago, his parents disappeared strangely, leaving only this horror house.
In order to keep thinking, Chen Ge quit his job and went all out to run the haunted house, wanting to do better.
Unfortunately, the times have changed too fast, the pressure of the competition in the haunted house industry is huge, and it is relatively unpopular, and there are still many limitations.
The same horror scene, after watching it again, it will become boring, and continuous renovation will require a lot of money.
Since a few weeks ago, the haunted house operation has been unable to make ends meet, and the cost of a day ’s tickets is not enough even for the fraction of the utility bill.
"I don't know when I can last."
The smoke was extinguished, Chen Ge was about to go back to the haunted house, and a middle-aged man wearing a New Century Paradise overalls came over.
Saw him, Chen Ge was like a mouse seeing a cat, and quickly speeded up.
"Is it pretending to be invisible?" The middle-aged man grabbed Chen Ge by the shoulder: "Today we have made it clear that your utility bills and venue rent have been owed for two months. The above has been urging, which makes me stressed Very big! "
"Uncle Xu, it's not that I don't give it. It's really a bit difficult to fund recently. You give me another month."
"You said the same thing last month."
"I assure you, this is definitely the last month!" Chen Ge patted her chest and looked sincere.
"The haunted house is in a sluggish state, and it can't attract tourists. If you want me to say that you don't want to persevere anymore." The middle-aged man named Xu Shu looked at the envelope in Chen Singer's envelope and slowly reduced his strength: "You At such a young age, it ’s not good to do something, why do you live so tired? "
"Uncle Xu, I know you are good for me, but this horror house has a different meaning to me. It is a thought left to me by my parents." Chen Ge's voice was low, and he didn't seem to want more people to hear it.
The matter of Chen Ge ’s parents, the middle-aged man as a paradise administrator is very clear. He did n’t reply. After a few seconds, he sighed and calmed down: "I can understand your idea a little bit, okay, I will try my best I'll drag you for a few more weeks. "
"Xie Xu Uncle!"
"Don't thank me, you still use dim sum and sell more tickets to the haunted house."
Send away the park administrator, Chen Ge went directly to the haunted house and began to repeat the daily work, check the equipment loss, maintain props, and clean the house.
"The artificial plasma in the repair room is almost used up, you have to buy another batch; this channel tilts inwards, which may better block the blind spot of the tourists' perspective; the puppet is scratched, you need to make up; wipe! Where is my craft lamp? Who stole it! "
In the eyes of outsiders, he is the owner of the horror house, and he is also a promising young man who can start his own business. In fact, the sadness behind this is only known by him.
Haunted house is a kind of "terror" consumption. In the horror environment, people's muscles and spirits will be highly tense. Once released, it is like a massage. This method can give people a sense of satisfaction in a short time.
At the same time, the haunted house is also a one-time consumption. Many haunted houses on the market adopt the method of flowing in various cities, constantly attracting new tourists to visit. Haunted houses like Chen Ge fixed in a certain place, unless they have a particularly great reputation, can attract people to come here, otherwise they will not last long.
It's not easy for him to stand alone for so long.
Dragged the puppets, Chen Ge entered the repair room. He studied toy design and manufacturing in college. Many of the puppets and institutions in the haunted house were designed by him.
The repairing process is complicated and monotonous, and the puppet's skin needs to be stitched, repainted and worn out.
"Almost blood plasma, I remember there is inventory in the attic." The haunted house is divided into three floors, the first and second floors are used to decorate the horror scene, and the third floor is the utility room.
Pushed open the dusty wooden door, and the attic was filled with all sorts of outdated equipment, most of which were left when his parents operated the haunted house.
See Wu Siren, so Chen Ge rarely comes here.
"Half a year passed."
Looking at the familiar equipment, Chen Ge remembered his childhood.
At that time, they operated a mobile haunted house. Parents took him around the city. Sometimes the couple was busy, so they threw Chen Ge backstage alone, accompanied by various ghost props, and cultivated from an early age. It also led to Chen Ge's courage.
After all, when his peers were playing with alphabet puzzles, he had already carried the head model and ran everywhere.
"It's all memories."
Unconsciously, Chen Ge went to the wooden box where his parents' relics were stored. Inside was a rough puppet and a dark cell phone.
Puppet is the first toy Chen Ge made when he was a kid, but he has no impression on his mobile phone.
These two things were found by the police in an abandoned hospital in the suburbs. As for why Chen Ge's parents would go there late at night, no one knows why.
"It's been so long, where the are you?" Chen Ge picked up the puppet, squeezed its face, and sighed softly: "I'm still looking for artificial plasma, if I can't survive this off-season, horror house Maybe it ’s going to be closed for transfer. "
Chen Ge was just talking to himself, but when he talked about the suspension and transfer, there was no moving black mobile phone in the wooden box. Suddenly the screen flickered and gave out a faint cold light.
"What's the situation? Black technology? A supernatural phenomenon?"
If you change your heart, you may have a faster heartbeat. Look around and sweat in your palms. Chen Ge ’s reaction is relatively straightforward. He picked up his phone and put it in front of his eyes to start a second confirmation.
"I tried this phone a hundred times before and didn't turn it on. Why did I start it myself today? It was found from where my parents were missing. Is it because they know that I am now very difficult, so they are actively contacting me?"
Controlled the excitement in his heart, Chen Ge swipes the screen, there is only one application on the dark mobile desktop, and the haunted house is used as the icon.
"Not quite the same as you think, but this icon is a bit familiar, it seems to be the door of my own horror house!"
Chen Ge frowned and opened the app, a line of blood appeared on the screen-do you believe that there are ghosts in this world?
Is there a ghost in the world? This is a surrealistic philosophical question. For a science man like Chen Ge, the difficulty factor is very high.
"There should be ..."
Chen Ge made his choice, and after a few seconds, new handwriting appeared on the phone screen.
"What you think is the answer. From this moment on, you will officially replace me as the new owner of the horror house. Of course, this is not a thing to celebrate. In the final stage of the novice tutorial, I want to give it to you. A word of advice, UU reading www.uukanshu.com suicide is the most cowardly behavior, please live hard! "
"The amount of information is a bit big! But how does his middle school second class talk like my dad?"
Chen Ge once again opened the haunted house application, a new interface appeared:
