"The director is missing, patients are disappearing, anonymous letters are being sent to the media, and bodies are being hidden in the hospital."

"The constantly changing bloody messages, the whispers coming from the locked room, who opened the chain on the door at midnight?"

"What did they see? Why did they all go crazy on the last night? Who is the patient and who is the doctor?"

"Screaming, howling, cutting, stitching, humanity being dismembered, the sun will never rise in the dark ward."

Liu Dao just glanced at the information on the phone screen and his heartbeat started to speed up. He even felt that his breathing became less smooth. "Do you want to reconsider it?"

Before he came, he was worried that Chen Ge would refuse to cooperate due to issues such as salary and scene safety, so he prepared many backup plans.

He thought that he could satisfy any request from the other party, but when the discussion actually started, he found that things got out of control right from the start.

Not only did the owner of the haunted house not worry about his own safety, he also thought the scene they provided was too fake. In the end, he actually went online and selected an abandoned hospital that looked extremely creepy and scary!

Is this person a pervert?

Liu Dao muttered to himself, his smile slightly stiff: "Mr. Chen, our staff may not dare to enter the place you chose. If you think the script is not suitable, we can revise it."

"It's okay." Chen Ge waved his hand.

"Thank you for your understanding. Shall we discuss the script?"

"No need for staff to accompany me, I can go in alone."

"Did you misunderstand something?" Liu Dao broke out in a cold sweat. He thought for a long time before organizing his words: "Do you really want to go there alone in the middle of the night to broadcast live?"

"Any questions?"

Seeing Chen Ge's calm and composed appearance, Liu Dao felt that all the plans he had worked on lately over the past few days were in vain: "No problem, take another look at the contract, and tell me if you need anything."

He took out a temporary contract from the black box. Chen Ge glanced at it and found that the contract was very loose. Since this was the first time for both parties to cooperate, they decided to give it a try first.

Chen Ge will push the advertisements provided by Liu Dao in the live broadcast room, and in return, they will strive for platform recommendations and channels for Chen Ge.

"I've watched all your live broadcasts. Everything else is fine, but the equipment isn't very professional." While Chen Ge was reading the contract, Liu Dao opened the black box and placed it between them. "This is the live broadcast equipment we're lending you. GoPro is a portable waterproof and shockproof camera, usually used by extreme sports groups for shooting when skydiving, gliding, and diving. Next to it is a non-slip chest strap bracket and a wrist strap to fix the camera. Below is a handheld holder and a wireless headset. After you start broadcasting, we'll have someone special to help you with the broadcast, and you can also watch it on your phone on the short video platform."

Liu Dao introduced the items in the black briefcase one by one: "Go back and familiarize yourself with how to use it. The time for Qin Guang's next spirit exploration has not been determined yet, but it will definitely be within three days. Our live broadcast is scheduled on the same day as his, so success or failure depends on this."

After all, Liu Dao was competing with a big anchor like Qin Guang for popularity, so he was not very sure. So the contract he took out was only a temporary contract, which would be invalid after one live broadcast.

It is the nature of businessmen to avoid risks, and Chen Ge also understood this. After signing the contract, Chen Ge took the black box from Liu Dao.

"I will let you know once I confirm the time for Qin Guang's live broadcast. I hope you can be prepared." Liu Dao extended his hand to Chen Ge. "It's a pleasure to work with you. And be sure to pay attention to safety."

"Yeah." After watching Liu Dao leave, Chen Ge put the suitcase into the staff lounge and continued selling tickets outside.

The sky suddenly darkened at noon, and around two o'clock in the afternoon, a light rain began to fall from the sky.

The roads were wet and there were fewer and fewer tourists. Chen Ge felt bad as he watched the gradually deserted New Century Park.

The number of people visiting the haunted house is increasing every day, but the overall number of visitors to the park is decreasing. If New Century Park is closed, its haunted house will naturally be affected.

"The number of horror scenes is far from enough. It is too difficult to support the entire park with only the haunted house." The reason why New Century Park can still continue to operate is because it has no rivals in Jiujiang. But if the future virtual park in Dongjiao is completed, New Century Park will probably be completely abandoned by tourists.

"Boss, what are you thinking about?" Xu Wan walked out of the haunted house with an umbrella and stood next to Chen Ge.

"It's okay." Chen Ge turned his head and looked at Xu Wan: "You've worked hard today, let's go home early. I also need to make the doll's body."

After cleaning up, Chen Ge locked the door of the horror house and rushed to the puppet-making workshop with an umbrella.

Before reaching the place, Chen Ge saw from afar that Boss Qian was squatting on the roadside, chatting with a man selling fried yogurt.

"Why did you come outside?"

Boss Qian looked up and saw that it was Chen Ge. He stood up with great effort and said, "Brother, how are you thinking about the high-end customization? I have a feeling that you will lead an unprecedented change."

"Not interested." Chen Ge came to the underground workshop and immersed himself in making the doll's body.

"Think about it again, you will become the godfather of a new industry!"

…

At 9:30 in the evening, the bodies of all the dolls were completed. Twenty-four headless bodies wrapped in newspapers stood in the studio. The scene was extremely spectacular.

“It’s so real, it’s almost like art.”

"Put the dolls here first. I'll come and take them away tomorrow morning." Chen Ge grabbed Boss Qian's shoulders and said, "You can admire them from a distance, but don't touch them."

After giving a few instructions, Chen Ge left with his umbrella.

He walked out of the underground passage and the rain was getting heavier.

"Twenty-four real dolls, how are we going to pull them back? I'll ask Uncle Xu for help tomorrow." He opened his umbrella and walked out along the street. The shops on both sides were packing up their things, and several shop owners were calling their children's names, as if they were preparing to close the shop and go home.

Chen Ge didn't pay much attention at first, until he passed an alley behind the street and suddenly heard a child crying.

Turning around, I saw a few young boys standing in the alley, throwing stones and bottles at somewhere.

One of the children seemed to have cut his finger. He cried and picked up broken bricks from the ground and threw them at the corner of the wall.

"Jiabao, Jiaming, stop playing and get ready to go home." A lottery shop owner nearby walked to the entrance of the alley and shouted.

"Dad, my brother was scratched by a cat!" one of the tall boys shouted.

"Was you scratched by a cat? Let me see!" The man hurried into the alley. Chen Ge hesitated for a moment and followed him.

When the man saw that his child’s finger was scratched, he picked up the crying child with heartache and kept comforting him.

Seeing his father coming, the boy cried even louder.

"It's okay, Dad will help you get revenge. Was it this cat that scratched you?" He picked up a brick on the ground and threw it at the cat without holding back at all.

The brick hit the flesh with a dull sound.

Chen Ge blocked the brick with his calf. He stood in the middle of the alley, looking at a rotten cardboard box in the corner.

In the cardboard box was a white cat with stains all over its body and scratches from the corners of its eyes to its mouth.

The cat was very ferocious, with its teeth bared and covered in wounds. Even with blood flowing into its eyes, it still clung to the cardboard box.

"Why doesn't it run away?" Chen Ge took a step forward and saw that there were four kittens in the rotten cardboard box, but all of them were dead.

The child next to him was holding a sharp branch, and broken bottles and bricks were scattered all over the floor, but even so, the cardboard box was still clean.

"Are you sick?" The man found a broom from the alley entrance and pushed it towards Chen Ge: "Get out of the way!"

His calf still hurt a little. When the man pushed him, Chen Ge didn't know why, but he grabbed the man's arm hard and knocked him down. Then he grabbed his hair with one hand and pressed his head into the mud.

The pupils shrank, and Chen Ge's eyes became extremely scary, like the eyes of a dead person opening.

Yin pupil!

The man originally wanted to resist, but when he saw Chen Ge's face, he felt cold all over and his teeth were chattering.

"We can talk about it if you have something to say." The man threw away the broom and collapsed on the muddy ground, his voice trembling: "There are surveillance cameras all around here. It's not worth it for a stray cat. I'll leave right away."

His eyes slowly returned to normal and Chen Ge let go of his hand.

"Jiabao, Jiaming." The man trotted away, and the other children quickly followed him out.

The back alley returned to calm. Chen Ge glanced at the rotten cardboard box in the corner. Just as he was about to approach, the injured white cat arched its body, lowered its ears, and its pupils turned into a narrow vertical slit, ready to attack at any time.

It was very scared and refused to let any living person get close to it.

Squatting down slowly, Chen Ge did not do anything that would make the white cat feel threatened. He just opened the umbrella and placed it on the rotten cardboard box.
