Chapter 38 Underground Parking Lot



Uncle Xu was truly doing this for Chen Ge's own good. He did not hide anything and laid everything out in the open: "Do you still want to invest in the haunted house?"

"I think we can give it a try. After all, the park has not been built yet, and we still have a chance to turn things around." Chen Ge relies on the black phone, which he certainly won't tell anyone else.

"You usually look quite smart, but why do you make a fool of yourself at a critical moment? Do you understand the general trend? I have been in this park for ten years. I am not worse than you in terms of feelings, but we must also face the reality." Uncle Xu pointed to several entertainment facilities that were no longer in operation in the park: "Do you know why they are out of operation? It's not because they failed the inspection, but because the equipment is burning money once it is turned on. Occasionally one or two people go up to visit, and it can't make up for the cost at all. Let me tell you a more intuitive situation. When the new world-class park just opened, it was packed with people outside. There were not enough parking spaces, and people had to go to the tenants next door to reserve a spot. Later, an underground parking lot was built, which alleviated the problem. However, since three years ago, even during the peak holiday season, the parking spaces on the ground in the park have never been full. The number of tourists has decreased year by year, and this year has hit a new low."

"Uncle Xu, wait a minute. You just said that the ground parking spaces have never been full even during peak holiday seasons since three years ago? Doesn't that mean the underground garage hasn't been used for three years? It's like it's abandoned?" Chen Ge's eyes changed, making Uncle Xu feel a little uncomfortable.

"Yes, when the new world-class theme park first opened, it was full of cars and people. You had to queue for one or two hours to play each project. That was the most glorious time, but it's a pity that it has been forgotten by the city now." Uncle Xu thought of the past and couldn't help but sighed: "But there's nothing to be sad about. At least we were glorious once, right?"

"Uncle Xu, if I want to rent the park's underground parking garage, how much would it cost?"

"What?" Uncle Xu was confused by Chen Ge's jumping thoughts: "Why are you asking this suddenly?"

"I want to make use of the underground garage. It's in a semi-abandoned state anyway. Given the current situation of the park, it probably won't be used anymore." Chen Ge had already come up with a plan in his mind that would make the most of the opportunity to expand the haunted house that came with the black phone.

"Are you crazy? Why rent that place? To raise bats?" Uncle Xu didn't know how to communicate with Chen Ge.

"I want to expand the haunted house. With my current financial situation, the underground garage is the most suitable place. The rent is not expensive, and the environment will not have much impact on the haunted house." Sooner or later, the park will know what I am doing, so Chen Ge did not hide this.

"Are you crazy, kid? A three-story haunted house isn't enough for you? Do you know how big the underground garage is? Even if I rent it to you, by the time you finish building it, the park will have closed down." Uncle Xu waved his hand, "Don't be silly, get back to work."

"Uncle Xu, I'm serious."

"Do you think I'm kidding you?" Turning on the intercom again, Uncle Xu walked towards the crowd. After walking a few steps away, he turned around and said to Chen Ge, "I'll give you 5,000 yuan tomorrow morning. Work hard and don't come up with weird ideas all day long."

"Oh, I see." Chen Ge followed Uncle Xu and looked at the group of tourists gathered at the entrance of the haunted house. He curled his lips and said, "I don't feel that the number of tourists is decreasing year by year. Anyway, there have never been many people coming to my haunted house before."

Squeezing into the crowd, Chen Ge walked up to a few medical students and said, "That's enough, if someone doesn't know, they would think I did something to you."

"Let me slow down a bit, your haunted house is a bit cruel."

"What are you looking at? I'm not scared. I just sprained my ankle while touring inside, so I can't stand up."

"What should I do? Everyone I see looks like a killer now..."

"Don't be so stubborn. This haunted house is indeed extraordinary." Monkey climbed up from the stairs. He raised the five-star review on his phone and stood in front of Chen Ge: "But, let's be honest. Don't think that this will make us give in."

"What? You guys are coming tomorrow?"

"If I didn't have an exam tomorrow, do you think I wouldn't dare to come tomorrow?" Monkey spoke harshly with full force, but it was a pity that his pale lips and trembling calves spoiled the mood a bit.

"Of course you are always welcome to come." Chen Ge almost regarded the students of Jiujiang Forensic Medicine School as mascots.

"I will never come here again, even if I am beaten to death or jump off the roof of a haunted house, I will never come here again." Heshan looked at Chen Ge with resentment. He was really frightened by the eyes in the crack of the door.

"Don't flatter yourself, junior." Xiao Hui held Heshan's shoulder and stood up, glaring at Chen Ge fiercely: "You are the first man who made me cry so hard that my makeup was ruined. I will remember your face."

Looking at the big bump on the back of Xiaohui's head, Chen Ge didn't have the heart to provoke her any further. He just smiled and said nothing.

Several forensic students supported each other and walked towards the gate of the park. After they walked away, Brother Feng ran back alone. He had a complicated expression and said to Chen Ge: "After I calmed down just now, I thought about your question for a long time, but I still couldn't believe it. I think it may be related to brain nerves and some stress reactions of people."

Chen Ge knew what he meant: "Maybe. By the way, I never asked you what your full name is."

"My name is He Feng. I'm older than them. I'll be going to the site for internship in a few days."

"Okay, see you someday."

After the two exchanged phone numbers, Chen Ge returned to the horror house. He put up the guardrail and hung up a sign saying that the business was temporarily suspended due to equipment maintenance.

"Boss, there are still many tourists waiting outside. Why are you closing down?"

"There was a small problem. We'll stop here today. Go and explain the situation to the tourists." Chen Ge took off his skull-crushing doctor's coat, went into the tool room, cut some black cloth, and took it into the midnight escape scene.

He covered the mirrors one by one, but there were too many rooms and he ran out of cloth in the end: "This scene is too big. We can't risk letting tourists in before the surveillance is installed. Otherwise, if something happens in the blind spot of the surveillance, the consequences will be disastrous."

After locking the door of the midnight escape scene, Chen Ge came downstairs. Most of the tourists outside the haunted house had already left, with only one or two people still wandering around.

"Xiao Wan, take off your makeup and go home from get off work. That's all for today."

After giving Xu Wan a few words, Chen Ge went into the staff lounge. He hadn't had a good rest since yesterday, and as soon as he touched the bed, he felt sleepy.
