Chapter 50 The Meaning of Numbers



Adjusting the angle, Chen Ge took great effort to see the bloodstain on the bathroom mirror clearly. It was an Arabic numeral - "2".

The numbers themselves are not scary, but when they are written in blood, it makes people feel uncomfortable.

"What does this number mean? After the monster in the mirror left last night, I saw a number '3' on the remaining lens, and today it became '2'. Is there some kind of relationship between the two? Why is it gradually decreasing?" Chen Ge was a little confused: "Does this number represent the date? Is it a countdown?"

Looking at the bloodstains that had not yet completely dried, Chen Ge leaned against the door, lost in thought.

"The monster in the mirror has left and has taken residence in Zhang Peng's body. There is no need to leave this number here unless it is planning to come back and take revenge on me." Chen Ge was confused. He knew too little about the other world and could not guess the other party's intentions.

"If this number decreases every day, what will happen when it reaches zero?" Chen Ge had a bad feeling in his heart. He walked back and forth at the door of the bathroom: "Will the number be linked to my life? On the night when the number reaches zero, will something terrible come to me?"

Pausing, Chen Ge felt that he was too nervous: "Let's wait and see tomorrow night. If this number appears in the haunted house again, I will take action then."

He sighed, he just wanted to run the haunted house well, rent the underground parking lot, unlock more scenes, and let the haunted house continue to grow, but things did not go as he wished, and there were always accidents that disrupted his plans.

Back in the staff lounge, several more police cars arrived outside the haunted house. After the city branch criminal investigation team arrived, they asked Chen Ge some questions, took a few simple photos, and then plunged into the tense pursuit again.

Captain Li stayed with Chen Ge the whole time, but unfortunately, by dawn, there was no news of Zhang Peng's capture.

However, Captain Li assured Chen Ge again and again that in Zhang Peng's current condition, it was impossible for him to run too far and he would definitely be captured within 24 hours.

Chen Ge was not actually worried about this. He had been thinking about the numbers left by the monster in the mirror, so he was not in a good mood.

Captain Li thought he was frightened and didn't think anything else about it. He comforted him with a few words and left with the other team members after dawn.

Chen Ge sat alone in the haunted house. He opened the window and let the cold morning wind blow into his collar.

"I'm the owner of a haunted house, and you can say I'm the leader of all the ghosts, but why do I feel so miserable?" The morning light shone into the house, and the puppet on the bed sheet seemed to be blown by the wind and fell under the bed.

Chen Ge picked up the little guy and poked its belly. "She is the only obedient evil spirit. She can do nothing but act cute. If a fight really breaks out, I will probably have to protect her."

The puppet in his hand seemed very dissatisfied with Chen Ge's evaluation of her and wanted to break free, but couldn't.

"The rewards for two consecutive nightmare-level missions are of an auxiliary nature. They are useful for the development of the haunted house, but not very helpful to me." Chen Ge is not sure what will happen after the numbers are reset to zero. He is a very cautious person and will never put himself in danger.

Chen Ge took out his black cell phone and flipped through it for a long time. He found that the only person who could serve as his trump card was the powerful-looking ghost in red - Zhang Ya.

In the wooden house on the back hill of Ping An Apartment, Zhang Ya helped Chen Ge once, reminding him that Wang Qi was right behind him, which saved his life.

But later, when the monster in the mirror pressed down on Chen Ge's head and was about to drown him during the nightmare mission, Zhang Ya did not appear.

This shows that the one who does things is acting according to his own preferences.

"After completing the favorability mission, I can order her to do something that does not violate her will. Then, I can ask her to help me deal with possible dangers." Chen Ge clicked on Zhang Ya's name and looked at the blood-red exclusive page. Even though he had been training his courage since he was a child, he was still a little scared at this moment: "This sister likes me after I die. My favorability is rising too fast. What if she can't wait and kills me?"

Not everyone can bear the love of a fierce ghost. Chen Ge exited the exclusive page and felt that the air had become much fresher. "The favorability mission is my last trump card. If that number still appears tonight and changes again, I will use this trump card to complete the favorability mission."

After making the decision, Chen Ge felt relieved and slowly fell asleep.

After eight o'clock, when Xu Wan came to work, Chen Ge handed the haunted house to her and took the money to choose the surveillance cameras.

He was in such a hurry to buy it, on the one hand, because there were too many blind spots in the haunted house and it was very unsafe; on the other hand, one of the daily tasks updated in the black phone required him to install monitoring and voice control devices.

After the shopping was completed in the morning, Chen Ge led the installation workers back to the horror house at noon. Accompanied by him, several workers trembled and installed the surveillance cameras in every corner of the haunted house, forming a surveillance network with very few blind spots. As for the voice control device, because his funds were really limited, he only bought the cheapest one and installed it in the ghost marriage scene.

At around seven o'clock in the evening, after the last successful debugging, Chen Ge received a notification that the black phone mission was completed.

"Only by finding the right balance between tension and relaxation can we provide tourists with the best experience. Congratulations on completing the easy difficulty daily task and receiving the reward - the background music "Wedding Dress"!"

“Attention: The Wedding Dress perfectly matches the ghost marriage scene! The screaming index of the ghost marriage scene rises to one star!”

Chen Ge was stunned when he saw the notification on his phone. The original screaming index of the ghost marriage scene was only half a star, but now it has risen to one star because of a song. This shows that this song is probably more creepy than Black Friday.

With an attitude of responsibility towards tourists, Chen Ge tried listening to it and felt that it had two different styles from Black Friday. One was slow-paced, as if one was being dragged into the abyss little by little; the other was more bizarre and exciting, with a happy song turning into a sad song, which made people's scalp tingle from the first sound.

"It really fits the ghost marriage scene very well. However, listening to such music often can easily cause psychological trauma. In the future, unless someone comes to mess things up, it's better to use it as little as possible." Chen Ge saved "Wedding Dress" on his phone and went to the third floor of the haunted house alone to start cleaning.

He didn't have any extra money to hire workers, so he stuffed a few dolls in his pocket, took the tools, and cleaned out all the mirror fragments in the haunted house.

It was already late at night when he finished all these. Chen Ge held the phone and wandered between the bathroom and the staff lounge.

He looked at the mirror again and again, waiting until midnight.
