"The midnight ticket counter is still in a broken state, and I don't know how to repair it. This black phone always makes some weird things." Chen Ge crawled out of the ticket counter. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this thing was not prepared for living people.

"boss!"

At the entrance of the park, Xu Wan came trotting over in casual clothes, holding a steaming bun in her hand.

Seeing the energetic Xu Wan, Chen Ge's mood suddenly brightened up. This girl was a little nervous and occasionally confused and made mistakes, but she was born with an infectious charm that could make people feel the sunshine and beauty of life.

Taking the bun from Xu Wan, Chen Ge didn't hesitate and started eating it: "Why did you come so early today?"

"Boss, look!" Xu Wan sat on the steps next to Chen Ge and took out her phone to flip through it. Inside were text reports and downloaded news videos about the Ping An Apartment murder case. "They're all about you. It feels like you're about to become a trending topic!"

"Let me take a look." Chen Ge looked at the reports. He did not expect that yesterday's interview, which was just a formality, would attract so much attention. "What a pity."

"What's a pity? I think it's great." Xu Wan was sitting next to him, her face flushed, probably because of the run she had just done.

"At that time, I was worried about the bounty, and forgot that this is also a good opportunity for publicity!" He flipped the screen with a painful look on his face: "If I had known that so many people would watch it, I would have interrupted Captain Yan's speech and advertised our haunted house! You see, these reports are not true at all, and they didn't even reveal the specific location of our haunted house! Xiaowan, I have a task for you today. Let's go to the comment section of all the reports to reveal our identities and leave the address of the horror house. Anyone who comes to read the reports will get a 20% discount."

"It's not very good." Xu Wan was a little embarrassed, but finally left a message as Chen Ge said.

The park opened at nine o'clock, and the two put away their phones and prepared to work.

After opening the guardrail, Xu Wan only then noticed the ticket counter in the middle.

"Is this what you did last night?"

"Yeah, it's a little ugly, but it's very practical."

"Yeah, I also think we should have a ticket counter."

Seeing Xu Wan nodding seriously, Chen Ge sighed in his heart, what a good employee she is, she never contradicts him.

After entering the haunted house, Xu Wan went to the dressing room to touch up her makeup. Chen Ge dragged out a few wooden boards from the prop room and covered the entrance to the underground passage. The new trial scene had not yet been opened, so this place would not be used for the time being.

After the two of them were ready, they started today's business. Although it was not yet the peak season, there was already a line at the entrance of the haunted house. Although it was not long, it was a qualitative leap compared to the past.

Xu Wan played a ghost in the ghost marriage scene, Chen Ge carried a makeup box, sold tickets and collected money, and played a murderer in the midnight escape scene.

It is very hard for two people to maintain such a large haunted house. It is worth mentioning that in the midnight escape scene, Xiao Xiao would occasionally interact with tourists by surprise. This super fierce puppet seemed to particularly like following living people, which made Chen Ge a little worried, fearing that she would be abducted by tourists one day.

They were busy until noon, when they finally had some free time. Chen Ge opened his black phone to check and saw that both the positive reviews and the number of tourists had increased significantly, and the second expansion was not far away.

"Two people are responsible for two scenes, which is already the limit. If we want to unlock new horror scenes, we must recruit new employees." Chen Ge looked at the black phone. Although the nightmare-level tasks it released every day were unreliable, the simple and normal difficulty tasks pointed out the shortcomings of the horror house. Completing the tasks was to improve the haunted house.

"Even the mobile phone has posted a task to recruit new employees. It seems that I really need to recruit some people." Ever since the old employee who had worked with his parents for several years left, Chen Ge was somewhat reluctant to recruit people: "If Xiaoxiao and Zhang Ya can be obedient and not mess around, they are my best choices now."

Of course, this idea was just something he thought about in his mind. If Xiaoxiao and Zhang Ya were really asked to go to a haunted house to scare people, Xiaoxiao would be fine, but Zhang Ya's place would probably be like a murder scene.

"My ghost team still has zero members, and I have a long way to go." Chen Ge sat on the stairs at the entrance of the haunted house. He had to continue working in the afternoon, and he was seizing every opportunity to rest.

The sun was rising overhead, and at noon when there were fewer and fewer tourists, Chen Ge's black cell phone vibrated for no reason.

He clicked on the information on the screen and was somewhat surprised by the content.

"The special effects at the midnight ticket counter are triggered, and the first special tourist appears! Please seize this opportunity, the results will be completely different depending on your choices!"

"The special effect was triggered? There's a one in a thousand chance of it happening. Based on my past experience, this time it must be something bad!" Chen Ge stood up straight as if facing a great enemy, and scanned the surroundings of the haunted house: "It's sunny, it shouldn't be possible for evil spirits to appear under such circumstances."

Now is the time of the day when the yang energy is at its strongest and it is also the hottest time, so there are fewer tourists coming and going.

"Is it the quarreling couple? The girl is so pretty and the boy is so ugly, there might be something wrong. Who is the person talking to Uncle Xu? Is he a new employee? Why haven't I seen him before?"

While Chen Ge was guessing, a thin, dark-skinned woman in her thirties walked over with light steps.

"Could it be her?"

Chen Ge quietly observed the woman's appearance. She had dark skin, was not tall, had a quiet smile, and was wearing a slightly faded coat.

"Hello, how much is a ticket to the haunted house?" The woman's voice was a little sharp, but not unpleasant.

"We now have two scenes. You can choose to experience either one with a ticket of 20 yuan." Chen Ge had a professional smile on his face.

"Okay, two then." The woman took out the money and handed it to Chen Ge.

"You want to experience two scenes alone?"

"There are two of us." The woman smiled embarrassedly and waved towards the distance. A child who looked only eight or nine years old ran over from the shade.

The child has a somewhat androgynous look and seems to be very shy.

He stopped beside the woman, but did not hold her hand. He just stood there with an expressionless face.

"I'm sorry, our haunted house has an age limit. Visitors under the age of fourteen are not allowed to visit." Chen Ge took a look at the little boy and always felt that he was different from ordinary children, but he couldn't tell exactly how.

"Can you please make some concessions? This child loves to visit haunted houses. There are not many people here right now, and no one will see us if we go in. It won't cause any trouble for you."

"Such a young child likes to visit a haunted house?" Chen Ge quietly put the black phone into his pocket and shook his head: "Sorry, this is the rule."
