Chapter 45 Someone wants to kill me!



One minute after the short video was released, Chen Ge’s comment section exploded again!

"The black shadow lying on the bathtub for fifty-six seconds is a special effect, right?! It looks like it came out from under the bathtub!"

"Is that the person waving the kitchen knife in the water the anchor himself? Wow! That expression is so real!"

"If the black shadow had held on a little longer, would we not have been able to see the host?"

"It's poisonous! I wanted to try how long I could hold my breath, but halfway through you jumped out at me with this thing!"

"Newbie, run! This video is full of ghosts! Don't look back! Run!"

"I stared at my phone screen for a full minute without blinking, and now I can't fall asleep..."

"After watching your last video, I don't dare to look in the mirror anymore. After watching this video, I don't dare to take a shower alone! Unscrupulous anchor, take this fairy's belly and waist hug and back throw!"

Chen Ge was very pleased that the comment section was still so lively at four o'clock in the morning. He felt that he had a group of loyal fans and all his efforts were worth it.

Before closing the short video page, Chen Ge did not forget to advertise his horror house in the comment section. Netizens were very enthusiastic and left messages, saying that they were going to bring some local specialties from their hometown to see him in the horror house.

"I bought a ticket to visit the haunted house, and they also gave me local specialties from my hometown. Today's tourists are really awesome." Chen Ge exited the page and felt much better. He stretched and left the midnight escape scene holding the five puppets.

The night passed and dawn came, and the sky outside the horror house was already dimly lit.

Chen Ge found a wooden board in the tool room and sealed the employee passage connected to the Midnight Escape theme. He was not going to open this scene until he dealt with the monster in the mirror.

"The ticket price is 20 yuan. Midnight Escape can accommodate seven visitors at the same time. If we calculate based on a 15-minute show, we can make a profit of 560 yuan per hour. For eight hours a day, that's more than 4,000 yuan." Chen Ge felt a little distressed when he thought of this, but he was not blinded by the money: "Safety first. We can unlock more scenes in the future. There is no end to the money."

After sealing off the midnight escape scene, Chen Ge returned to the employee lounge. He placed a few puppets beside the bed, changed into clean clothes, and went out for a run.

The Ping An Apartment Trial Mission kept Chen Ge on alert at all times. If he had not run fast enough that night, he would have been buried in the ground by now.

At 8:40 in the morning, Xu Wan came to the haunted house to work. She was a little surprised to see Chen Ge coming back from a run, sweating profusely. In her impression, her boss was not a person who liked to exercise.

A new day has arrived, and the protective fence outside the haunted house has been pulled open to both sides. The two men have each done their job and are ready to open for business.

At nine o'clock, tourists entered the park one after another. The entrance of the haunted house was still deserted. This was the time when there were the fewest people in the park.

"Boss, what did you do in the haunted house last night? Why is there water everywhere?"

"Cleaning." Chen Ge said perfunctorily, and then he reminded: "Be careful when you play the ghost in there, don't get too close to the mirror."

"Why?"

Chen Ge was about to explain to Xu Wan when he suddenly saw Uncle Xu, the park manager, running over.

"Uncle Xu, is there something wrong?" Chen Ge took off his headphones and found that Uncle Xu's face looked a little strange.

"You're getting weirder and weirder." Uncle Xu looked Chen Ge up and down. "Someone from the cafeteria came over and said a kitchen knife was stolen. I thought the thief was so poor that he stole a kitchen knife. But when I turned on the surveillance camera, I realized why you were up in the middle of the night to steal someone else's kitchen knife? Do you think it's impressive to carry two kitchen knives around?"

After Uncle Xu said this, Chen Ge remembered that the kitchen knife he took from the cafeteria was still thrown in the bathtub.

"I just helped the police solve a case. There is still a murderer who has not been caught. I took the kitchen knife for self-defense. I will sell new kitchen knives to the canteen tomorrow." He didn't know whether using the kitchen knife that had been used to kill ghosts would be harmful to the human body when used to cut vegetables, so he didn't dare to return the two knives to Uncle Xu.

"I am getting more and more confused about you. Are you doing something bad behind my back?"

"What bad things can you do with two kitchen knives? Don't worry."

Uncle Xu was skeptical. The park had just opened and he had a lot of things to do, so he didn't investigate further. He walked up to Chen Ge and took out a tightly wrapped plastic bag from his pocket: "Take this five thousand first. If you have any difficulties, be sure to tell me."

"Uncle, thank you very much. I should be able to return the money to you this weekend."

"No, just stop causing trouble for me."

Chen Ge waited until Uncle Xu left before he stuffed the money into his pocket. He leaned against the guardrail, thinking about how to use the money.

"Five thousand is just enough to install surveillance. The space inside the haunted house is already full, and new horror scenes can only be added after the expansion. Renting an underground parking lot is a good idea, but I don't know how much the park will charge for rent."

There were a lot of problems waiting for Chen Ge to solve, and he also felt a headache: "My biggest problem is that I'm short of money! I don't know when the bounty will come out, should I go and ask for it?"

He looked into the distance unconsciously, and when he scanned a certain place, his pupils shrank, and suddenly he saw a strange tourist.

The man was wearing a baseball cap, long sleeves, and his hands in his pockets. He was wandering among several entertainment facilities, seemingly struggling over which one to play.

"This person looks familiar." Because of the existence of Yin Pupil, Chen Ge's eyesight is better than most people. That person probably doesn't know that he has been discovered.

"Should we stop him?"

While Chen Ge was hesitating, some tourists came to visit the haunted house, so he started to get busy and gradually forgot about this matter.

At noon, when Chen Ge and Xu Wan were preparing to go to eat, he once again saw the suspicious tourist near the haunted house.

"This guy didn't go near the haunted house all morning. He waited for Xu Wan and I to go out for dinner. He came over when no one was in the haunted house. What does he want to do?" Chen Ge asked Xu Wan to go eat first, and he returned alone. When the tourist noticed someone coming, he turned around and left the park. He left very decisively.

"Have I seen him somewhere before?" Chen Ge's eyelids twitched slightly. He stopped eating and ran directly to the park's comprehensive management office. After obtaining the staff's consent, he checked the surveillance footage of this person.

This person deliberately avoided some obvious surveillance cameras. His hands were always in his pockets from the time he entered the park in the morning until he left. Even when he was smoking, he held the cigarette in his mouth and used one hand to light it.

What's even more bizarre is that after purchasing the park ticket, he only rode the Ferris wheel in the park, and he rode it three times in a row.

"Something's wrong, there's something wrong with this person!"
