All the employees in the haunted house were busy. Some were tampering with memories, some were absorbing curses, and some were setting up the scene to prepare for today's business.
"These living people brought out from the cursed hospital are a big trouble. Whether we call the police or send them to the hospital, if we don't handle them properly, we might be targeted by the police." Chen Ge thought for a while, personally conceived the plot, and wove new memories for them one by one.
Of all the living people, only two were exceptions.
One is Zhang Jingjiu, an employee of the haunted house, and the other is Zuo Han.
Faced with a life-and-death crisis, Zhang Jingjiu resolutely chose to remind Chen Ge that this was a friendship worth sharing in life.
Zuo Han helped Chen Ge a lot in the Cursed Hospital. He and Chen Ge cooperated with each other and obtained important information.
Chen Ge did not make things difficult for the two of them and let them make their own decision.
In the end, Zuo Han and Zhang Jingjiu both chose to keep their memories, and Zuo Han even expressed his idea of joining the haunted house.
Practice is the best interview. Zuo Han is definitely a rare genius, but precisely because he is a genius, Chen Ge does not want to waste his talent.
The two agreed that Zuo Han would be a part-time employee of the horror house, and he would still focus on forensic work in the future.
Speak for the dead, defend the rights of the living, this special experience will make Zuo Han the best forensic doctor.
Chen Ge asked Zhang Jingjiu and Zuo Han to organize the other living people. He borrowed the bus used by New Century Park to pick up tourists and prepared to send them all back to Xinhai City.
People who have been missing for many years have returned to the world, not knowing whether their families are still there or whether they can continue their previous lives.
But these were not Chen Ge's concerns. He had already done a great job in rescuing those people from hell.
When the living people were being transported to the bus, Chen Ge took out a black cell phone from his pocket. Since returning to reality, the repaired phone has been vibrating non-stop.
Chen Ge swiped the screen and looked at the unread messages on the black phone: "This scene looks so familiar."
After knowing the truth, Chen Ge's mentality when reading the information was different. He reached out and clicked the screen.
"Lucky Red Patron! Congratulations on completing the four-star trial mission - The Cursed Hospital!"
"You have successfully survived until dawn and unlocked a new four-star scene - the Cursed Hospital!"
"The mission completion rate has reached 95%, and you will receive the hidden mission reward - the nineteenth underground floor of the Cursed Hospital."
"The nineteenth underground floor of the Cursed Hospital (special building): curses, evil spirits, nightmares. The further you go down, the more dangerous it becomes. When you look back, you will find that you can no longer go back."
Seeing the first mission reward, Chen Ge took a deep breath: "Will the 19th floor of this hospital lead directly to the depths of the Blood City? But no one should be able to walk all 19 floors, right?"
"Successfully found your parents, completed optional mission 1, and gained a chance to heal your soul (already used)."
"Successfully saved patient number one, completed optional mission two, obtained a complete body and soul (already used)."
"Successfully killed the dean, completed optional mission three, and obtained the cursed hospital scene behind the door (already used)."
"Lucky Red Patron! Congratulations on owning three four-star horror scenes at the same time! The Horror House will be officially upgraded to Nightmare City after the expansion of the Cursed Hospital is completed!"
“Nightmare City: This is a city built on the edge of nightmare, connecting human hearts and reality, hiding despair and redemption.”
After reading the mission rewards, Chen Ge did not close the black phone, but continued to flip through it.
Many names of evil spirits have been added to the column of haunted house employees. After experiencing the cursed hospital, most of the evil spirits regard the horror house as their home.
In addition, Chen Ge also looked at the task bar. All low-level tasks were cleared, and only one blood-red task remained in the entire task bar.
He reached out and touched it, and without any warning, the screen of the black phone turned completely blood red.
"The final five-star mission - Nightmare City has been forcibly triggered. This mission has no deadline and will continue to receive phased rewards until the black fog disappears."
Glancing across the screen, Chen Ge discovered that the last mission he triggered no longer had the word "Trial" as a prefix. This mission was the true purpose of Shannian.
Chen Ge no longer cared about the mission. He searched through his phone and finally found what he wanted in the address book.
The address book of the black phone could not be opened before. After being repaired by Shannian, there was an extra number in the address book. This should be the most special number for Shannian.
"You have redeemed so many desperate souls in the Blood City. I am not as great as you, so I can only redeem you." Chen Ge wrote down the number: "I will remember your obsession with home. As long as I am alive, your obsession will not dissipate."
Putting away his phone, Chen Ge went to check on his parents. They still hadn't woken up, but their condition had improved a lot.
After letting Luo Ruoyu take care of his parents temporarily, Chen Ge gave his employees some instructions and got on the bus carrying his backpack.
On the surface, it was Zhang Jingjiu who was driving, but in fact it was Tang Jun who had rich driving experience.
Unable to get on the highway with a car full of missing persons, Chen Ge and his team arrived in Xinhai in the afternoon.
He summoned Zhang Yi again to modify some of the passengers' memories, and then asked his employees to escort them away.
"I will help you if I can. I have done my best." Chen Ge patted Zhang Jingjiu on the shoulder and said, "Jingjiu, you have suffered this time. From now on, you will be the manager of Xinhai Horror House. You have the final say here."
Chen Ge drove the bus directly to the Nightmare Academy and left a few ghosts as Zhang Jingjiu's helpers. Then he hurried to the Xinhai City Branch and gave the police some clues about the cursed hospital. He also inquired about the progress of the police investigation.
After learning that the police's investigation had nothing to do with him, Chen Ge still wanted to help the Xinhai police. However, when he charged his mobile phone, which had been automatically turned off, at the police station, he discovered that he had received countless messages during the time he was away.
Among them are those from Director Luo, Li Zheng, and haunted house employees such as Xu Wan.
After clicking on the message, Chen Ge's heart suddenly tightened.
In the morning, Xu Wan and her friends came to the haunted house and saw Chen Ge's parents unconscious in the staff lounge. The employees immediately contacted Director Luo and sent Chen Ge's parents directly to the best hospital in Hanjiang.
Upon learning that someone who had been missing for so long had suddenly returned, Li Sanbao, who was in charge of the missing case, and Captain Yan from the Municipal Branch were also alarmed.
Several police cars blocked the entrance of the park early in the morning, scaring the tourists.
In fact, this matter itself is nothing, the key point is that this couple is Chen Ge's parents.
When the Hanjiang police thought about how Chen Ge had single-handedly set up two murder file storage rooms in order to find his parents, they panicked instantly, subconsciously believing that something big was going to happen. This stress response was called the Chen Ge effect by a criminal psychologist in the police station.
The police car led the way and the criminal police were guarding. If you didn't know, you would probably think that there was a Class A wanted criminal lying in the ambulance.
After treatment from morning to night, Chen Ge's parents finally woke up from their coma. Everyone was calling Chen Ge, but Chen Ge's own phone had been automatically turned off due to lack of battery, and he only learned this information now.
After saying hello to the Xinhai City Branch, Chen Ge rushed back to Hanjiang overnight. He asked the taxi driver to drive directly to the hospital.
It was already past ten o'clock in the evening, but the second floor of Hanjiang People's Hospital was crowded with people.
Some were police officers, and some were employees of the park and the haunted house. Both sides stood on both sides of the corridor, all wearing uniforms. The scene was quite grand.
“The boss is here!”
"Boss! Here!"
"Chen Ge! Why are you here just now!"
After walking through the crowd, Chen Ge stopped at the door of the ward. He grabbed the door handle but was a little afraid to push the door.
He didn't hesitate like this when he was fighting for his life with the man in red in the world behind the door.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Ge slowly opened the door.
His eyes were fixed on the bed. When Chen Ge saw the couple in hospital gowns, his eyes instantly turned red, and an indescribable joy and grievance surged into his heart.
His lips moved, but he couldn't utter a word. It seemed that as soon as he opened his mouth, tears would fall.
"Chen Ge, what's going on? We haven't seen each other for just one night, and you're making such a big fuss." Chen Xiao sat up from the sickbed, and walked to Chen Ge's side as casually as usual, hooked his arm around Chen Ge's neck, and then closed the ward door with his other hand.
"I haven't seen you for one night?" Chen Ge looked at his father beside him: "Don't you remember?"
"We only remember that we had an argument yesterday about the haunted house. You said you didn't want to inherit the haunted house and wanted to work in a big city like Xinhai." Chen Xiao said it lightly. He tried his best to act nonchalant, but his red eyes had already revealed a lot of things.
Chen Ge's mother also came over. She didn't say anything, but just hugged Chen Ge, unwilling to let go.
They were just pretending to have amnesia. The pain they had endured in the past year was unimaginable to ordinary people, but they did not want to bring any more pressure to their children, let alone let their children share their pain.
They hadn't done anything wrong, but the look in their eyes when they looked at Chen Ge was full of heartache and guilt.
Knowing all the truth, they knew very well how much despair and pain Chen Ge had to go through in order to save them.
It is almost impossible for an ordinary person to save people from a cursed hospital with several evil spirits, but Chen Ge did it!
Chen Xiao could still speak normally, but Chen Ge's mother could not control her emotions.
"The painful days are over. By the way, you haven't visited the current haunted house yet, right? During the time you were asleep, I renovated the haunted house inside and out. Now our haunted house is the best in the country, and I have also opened a branch in Xinhai." Chen Ge changed the subject. He had a gentle smile on his face and showed off like a child.
"Can our haunted house become the top haunted house in the country?" Chen Xiao was enjoying the happiness of reunion, and he didn't care what Chen Ge said specifically.
"Well, let's go home now. You will be surprised when you enter the horror house."
The doctor had checked and found that Chen Ge's parents were in good health, so they left the hospital that night.
After thanking everyone who came, the family of three got into a taxi.
They talked a lot along the way, and Chen Ge finally figured out the root cause of his parents' disappearance.
In addition to using Shanyi's flesh and blood to influence the Blood City, the dean also began to secretly curse Chen Ge through the connection between Shadow and Chen Ge. The situation was already precarious.
Both the Blood City and Chen Ge in reality were affected.
If this continues, Chen Ge's good thoughts and evil thoughts will be in big trouble. They were forced into a corner and had no choice but to join forces with Chen Xiao in the Blood City to fight back.
When we returned to the horror house, it was already past eleven o'clock at night.
There was no one in the park, it was dark and very deserted.
After seeing that the haunted house had not changed much, Chen Ge's father lowered his expectations, but he did not say it out loud.
But who is Chen Ge? He didn't learn anything else from Dr. Gao, but he did master a lot of tricks to guess people's minds. He guessed Chen Xiao's thoughts just by looking at his micro-expressions.
"Dad, the haunted house has changed a lot mainly inside." Chen Ge pulled open the guardrail and lifted the blackout curtain.
After hearing what Chen Ge said, Chen Ge's mother pinched Chen Ge's father from behind and glared at him.
Chen Ge's father was quite innocent. He followed Chen Ge into the haunted house.
"Most of the employees and new scenes of the haunted house are underground." Chen Ge took off the chain on the Howling Door, and used both hands to pull open the door leading to the underground.
A chilly wind blew out from underground, and the temperature in the haunted house dropped suddenly.
"underground?"
The three of them walked down the stairs, and as soon as they appeared, they heard a uniform voice.
“Hello, Boss!”
At first glance, the huge underground building complex is filled with all kinds of obsessions, evil spirits and people in red!
There were too many! Chen Ge's parents, who were used to big scenes, froze on the steps.
Is this outside the door?
The evil spirits in front of him include students, doctors, teachers, gamblers, cartoonists, and even a director.
"Hello, uncle and aunt!"
Before Chen Ge's parents could react, the employees greeted them again. Chang Gu was still controlling the lights and giving instructions.
Picking up the head that the headless female ghost had dropped due to excitement, Chen Ge naturally put the head back into the ghost's hands. He was very satisfied with the performance of his employees and that his corporate management was doing very well.
The scene in front of them was too shocking. When Chen Ge's parents were still digesting the information, Chen Ge came over again: "Dad, Mom, there is actually something I want to tell you. I met a very good girl. Maybe we can go out for dinner together tomorrow."
With a gentle smile on his face, Chen Ge looked back at his own shadow and said, "She is a very good girl, but you'd better be mentally prepared before you meet her."
"We've seen scenes like this before, what else can surprise us?" Chen Xiao and Chen Ge's mother Xu Meng had been standing on the steps, hesitating whether to go downstairs.
"Then I'll ask her to come out?" Chen Ge whispered to his own shadow, "Zhang Ya, come and meet my parents too."
The pitch-black shadow created ripples, and then the entire New Century Paradise began to shake. An aura of terror that could not be concealed at all quietly emerged.
