Chen Ge didn't expect everything to go so smoothly. He had been eyeing the haunted house in Xinhai before. However, even though Shangguan Qinghong was scared to the point of being hospitalized, he still didn't plan to sell his haunted house. He seemed to know that the land was special.
But happiness came so suddenly, and Chen Ge didn't know why Shangguan Qinghong suddenly came to his senses.
"Maybe he has realized the gap between him and my haunted house. I will go to the hospital to see him if I have a chance."
Holding the contract, Chen Ge walked out of Director Luo's house. At this time, the park was about to stop operating.
There are still many tourists queuing in front of the horror house. Many people come from far away just for the horror house, so they keep queuing up to experience as many scenes as possible.
Many of them are internet celebrities and self-media workers. Chen Ge’s haunted house provides them with a large amount of material, and of course they also contribute to the popularity of the horror house.
Other haunted houses do not allow entry into the haunted house for filming, so Chen Ge’s haunted house is special.
Returning to the staff lounge, Chen Ge put away the contract.
Mr. Luo asked him to go to Xinhai as soon as possible and tell him directly if he needed anything, but Chen Ge was not ready to go to Xinhai yet.
Hanjiang is where he grew up, and he has a very special feeling for this land. Although there are countless ghost stories in this city, he feels inexplicably at ease when he steps on this land, as if there is a mysterious force protecting him.
Xinhai is a relatively unfamiliar city to Chen Ge. The cursed hospital might have already set up a tight net, waiting for him to fall into it.
"Before going to Xinhai City, you must make full preparations. Not only must you bring the red-shirted employees with you, but you must also say hello to Captain Yan and ask his colleagues in Xinhai to pay attention." Chen Ge had met with the Xinhai police. When he first went to Xinhai, he was taken away by the police because he jumped out of the window on the second floor of the haunted house. He experienced the Xinhai police car.
"The police and the public are like one family. I went to Xinhai to do my part to maintain the local law and order. I believe the Xinhai police will understand me."
Lying on the bed, Chen Ge took out the comic book and the black mobile phone, and carefully read the information of all the employees again, memorizing the abilities of each of them in his mind.
"There is still a lot to do. Besides, I am not the one who should be anxious now. The Cursed Hospital has inexplicably lost a fierce god. They will definitely continue to send people to Hanjiang to investigate. As long as I deal with the people they send to Hanjiang, I can continue to weaken their strength."
After the ghost fetus' soul was destroyed, Chen Ge's pressure was much less. It can even be said that he is gradually taking the initiative.
Xiao Sun was taken to the underground morgue by Lao Zhou for special training. In addition to honing his acting skills, Xiao Sun also had to learn knowledge in psychology, basic medicine, neurology and other aspects.
Other employees were also busy with their own tasks, preparing for the final task.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, Chen Ge walked out of the horror house carrying a backpack. He brought a few people in red clothes with him, ready to help Zhang Wenyu fulfill the deceased's last wish and see if he could make new friends.
After running around for a whole night, Chen Ge helped Zhang Wenyu complete a few more tasks. Now Zhang Wenyu has great trust in him and feels that Chen Ge is a rare person in the world.
In fact, apart from Chen Ge himself who has not yet realized it, many employees around him have already discovered that Chen Ge is actually a very charming person. He can bring courage and strength to the desperate. He also has excellent empathy and can understand the pain of others and listen to other people's past.
"Am I too conspicuous with so many red clothes? Why didn't I even encounter an obsession in one night?" After reflecting for a moment, Chen Ge felt that he should change his mindset: "This city is too big. My blind search for evil spirits is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I must find a more effective method."
As he spoke, Chen Ge took out his black mobile phone and clicked on a certain page. A strange black turntable appeared on the screen.
"I am now the Red Patron. If I draw out ten more evil spirits, my title will be upgraded again."
As his title is upgraded, Chen Ge will gain more favor from ghosts and monsters, and it will be easier for him to gain their favor, but he will also suffer more disasters and misfortunes accordingly.
"If the title is upgraded again, I wonder if I can bear it. Are there only evil spirits in this turntable? Shit! There are so many good things written on it, but I can only draw evil spirits with extremely low probability. Am I Sun Xiaojun's long-lost brother?"
The sky outside the window was already getting light. Chen Ge put away his black phone and said, "I'll take a nap. After I finish putting makeup on the employees, I'll go to the Virtual Future Park. The environment of their park is pretty good, and it's very suitable for the lottery."
New Century Park opened at nine in the morning. After more than a dozen tourists were pushed out by carts yesterday, there was no one looking for trouble today. Even the number of internet trolls on the haunted house app decreased a lot.
"Uncle Xu, I have something to go out for, so I'll leave this place to you."
Chen Ge carried his backpack and took a taxi to the Virtual Future Park.
He bought the ticket online, and when he swiped his ID card to pick up the ticket, all the machines in the self-service ticket collection area lit up red lights.
A moment later, three staff members from the Virtual Future Park ran over and followed the whole process. If you didn’t know, you might have thought that some important person had come for a “secret visit”.
"I feel very uncomfortable with you guys like this." Chen Ge was holding his bag and was protected by three staff members. "I am just an ordinary tourist now, please relax."
Originally, Chen Ge just wanted to come here to draw a prize and try his luck, but he felt a little embarrassed when being watched by so many people.
"Boss Chen, we don't want this to happen either, but..." One of the younger employees was about to speak when he was interrupted by another older employee.
The three of them didn't say anything, just followed Chen Ge.
"You can follow me if you want." Chen Ge wandered to the haunted house of the virtual future park and found that the second place in the haunted house ranking list was about to catch up with him with another 5,000 points. He felt a sense of crisis in his heart: "Since we are here, let's go in and play. The ticket is so expensive that we can't waste it."
Chen Ge came to the operating table and started clicking randomly on the machine. He didn't choose carefully. He selected all the scenes one by one and then checked the hell mode.
The Virtual Future Park seemed to be designed specifically to prevent Chen Ge. Now the machine could no longer directly mix more than fifty scenes. The computer would automatically select ten scenes from all the scenes for tourists to visit.
Under the wary eyes of the staff, Chen Ge entered the haunted house of the virtual future park. It was a solo show. This was Chen Ge's card.
Listening to the eerie music, Chen Ge felt as if he was back in his own backyard. He looked relaxed and walked out of the haunted house with the feeling of an artistic young man.
After easily passing two scenes, Chen Ge found a blind spot that was invisible to the surveillance camera. He quietly took out his black mobile phone, slid the screen, and clicked on a certain page.
"I've accumulated so many scare points without realizing it. How about a 10-point combo? I haven't had this experience since I got the black phone."
"Zhang Ya shouldn't be asleep, and I'm in someone else's haunted house. Most importantly, their boss just came to my haunted house to mess things up. It's only right for me to go to his haunted house and draw a ten-drawn game, right?"
Chen Ge gradually convinced himself. In fact, he knew in his heart that the lottery process was safe. At least there had been no accidents in the previous lotteries.
Looking at the dial on his phone, Chen Ge took a deep breath and said, "I just don't believe that ten evil spirits will appear in ten companies."
Gritting his teeth, Chen Ge chose to rotate ten times.
Looking at the rapidly spinning turntable, Chen Ge's heart rose into his throat.
The black turntable was gradually stained red with blood, which had never happened before.
With Chen Ge as the center, the temperature in the room suddenly began to drop, and blood-red patterns slowly began to appear on the black phone's casing, but those patterns were fleeting.
A ghost face flashed faintly on the screen, and all these signs gave Chen Ge a bad feeling.
The rotating pointer slowly stopped, and the black phone kept vibrating, receiving ten messages in a row!
"Lucky red-robed patron! Congratulations on obtaining a special kind of evil spirit - Time Passing!"
"Time Passes (a rare special evil spirit with a probability of 1%): a lonely soul wandering on Subway Line 4, passing through time, walking through yesterday, wandering between minutes and seconds. It is a ghost forgotten by time."
"Lucky red-clad patron! Congratulations on obtaining the evil ghost - the toilet ghost."
"Toilet ghost (5% chance of being selected): He seems to be useless. He has no merits or characteristics. He always likes to stay alone and quietly in the bathroom. He is like an old man who has lost interest in marriage and life."
"Lucky red patron! Congratulations on winning a special item - a butterfly hairpin!"
"Butterfly hairpin (the object of the special evil ghost Qiudie, with a 3% chance of being drawn): The first gift you gave me, I always wear it on my head. I hope that one day you will be able to see me in the crowd and see the butterfly hairpin you gave me."
…
"Lucky red-robed patron! Congratulations on obtaining a special type of red robe - Blood Face!"
"Blood Face (special type of red clothing, the probability of being drawn is 0.7 in 1,000): I have created hundreds of beautiful and stunning faces, until one day, I realized that I could no longer see beauty."
"Attention! The red-clothed ghost's blood is extremely dangerous and sensitive! Please rush to the Yiren Pavilion Beauty Salon in the new district after midnight!"
"Lucky Red Patron! Congratulations on obtaining a special item - Bai Qiulin's severed hand."
"Bai Qiulin's Broken Hand (Grudge Condensation): The lost broken hand was secretly taken away by a gambler and became a prop for the casino owner to collect debts."
The temperature in the room was close to zero degrees. Every message on the black phone was related to evil spirits, and the resentment almost escaped from the phone.
"Ten consecutive draws, nine evil spirits in one breath." Chen Ge wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, he was shocked.
Except for Bai Qiulin's severed hand, the remaining nine were all evil spirits, and one of them was a ghost in red.
The black phone recorded in detail the abilities and precautions of those evil spirits. These ghosts were scattered in various places in Hanjiang, and Chen Ge needed to personally "take them home".
"I only got one red-dressed girl out of ten consecutive draws. It seems the probability of getting one is still very low. I was really lucky to get Zhang Ya."
Chen Ge didn't know whether his luck was good or bad.
The temperature in the haunted house slowly rose, and Chen Ge, just like he wanted to relax after the college entrance examination, went through a few more scenes to ease his tense mood.
"As long as I draw one more evil spirit, the title of Red Patron will be upgraded. The problem is that I have enough scare points to draw many times." Chen Ge is very conflicted now. Reason tells him that he should stop, but he feels itchy when he looks at the turntable on his phone.
"My parents' disappearance is very likely related to the cursed hospital, which means they are the creators of all the disasters. Facing such a strong opponent, I must go all out."
Chen Ge found another blind spot in the surveillance camera: "It's a rare opportunity to visit the Virtual Future Park, so why not just go all in and use up all the scares in their haunted house."
If he draws another evil ghost title, he will be upgraded. Chen Ge has also thought it through. The danger is coming anyway. Since it cannot be avoided, he might as well let the storm come even more violently.
Sliding the screen, Chen Ge did another ten-hit combo!
"Lucky Red Patron! Congratulations on obtaining a special item - Xu Yin's music score."
"Xu Yin's music score: He was once pure and happy, he once believed in beauty and sunshine, he wrote all his love into a song and sang it to the girl who killed him."
"Lucky Red Patron! Congratulations on receiving a special item - a torn birth certificate."
"Incomplete birth certificate: Men Nan was born in a mental hospital. The distorted and absurd world in the eyes of ordinary people is the world he has lived in since he was a child. This birth certificate has his mother's signature and is his last memory."
"Lucky Red Patron! Congratulations on winning a special item - White Day Candy."
"White Valentine's Day candy: She made the candy for you with her own hands, and you must eat all of it."
"Lucky Red Patron! Congratulations on receiving a special item - the Blue Raincoat."
"Blue raincoat: She bought a cartoon blue raincoat for her child. The child in the raincoat looked like a cute little penguin. That evening, a heavy rain fell in Liwan Town. She held her child's hand and waited for the bus at the platform. However, when the No. 104 bus arrived at the station, her child disappeared."
"No one knows where her child has gone. Maybe this blue raincoat will hold some clues."
…
After the second ten consecutive draws, Chen Ge was stunned: "I didn't even draw a single evil spirit? This is unscientific? Did I drain all the evil spirits from the prize pool?"
From a probability perspective, evil spirits are indeed rare items. Let alone the red-robed ones, even ordinary evil spirits are difficult to draw.
"Isn't this torture? I'm ready for the title upgrade, but the missing evil spirit just won't show up?"
Chen Ge thought rationally for half a minute, and then made a very irrational decision: "How about another ten-shot combo?"
His fingers slid across the screen habitually, and the strange turntable on the black phone began to spin rapidly.
