"The director is trapped in the movie? This should be considered a weird story, right?"
Chen Ge felt that this was within the scope of his business and he couldn't just sit back and watch.
He looked up at the clock on the wall. It was already 2:30 in the morning. "It takes half an hour to get to Yongling Mountain by taxi from here. It's too late. Let's go and have a look tomorrow."
"Time is always running out. The deadline for the Psychic School mission is coming up soon, but I don't even have a single available Redcoat by my side. This won't work. Let's go check out the crew first. It would be best if we can help the writer complete his obsession and get that suicide operator to join the House of Horrors as soon as possible."
After making full preparations, Chen Ge closed his phone and went to bed early for once.
At around eight o'clock the next day, Chen Ge was awakened by the sound of knocking on the window. He opened his eyes in a daze and heard Xiao Gu's voice coming from outside the window.
"The boss might have run out again in the middle of the night. Let's wait at the door."
"Does the boss often leave at night?" It was Zhang Jingjiu who spoke. He was very curious about Chen Ge.
"Let me tell you this. The social software we often use has a real-time step counting function. When I get up every morning, my boss has already walked 10,000 or even tens of thousands of steps." Xiao Gu's tone was very calm. "But today was a bit abnormal. From last night to now, my boss has only walked more than 3,000 steps. Could something have happened to him?"
"If the boss hears you saying this, he will definitely fire you." Xu Wan's voice also came into the room, and it seemed that all the employees had arrived.
"How could I possibly do something like beating up an employee?" Chen Ge got up from the bed, pulled open the thick curtains, and pushed open the window of the employee lounge. "The most I'll do is deduct their salary."
"boss!"
Four employees were standing by the window and they seemed to have been there for a long time.
"Wait a moment, I'll go open the door for you." Chen Ge looked down at his phone. It was already eight forty in the morning. He was too sleepy last night and went to sleep without setting an alarm.
After opening the security door of the haunted house, Chen Ge called four employees into the dressing room and put makeup on them one by one.
"You are all here, let's have a simple morning meeting while putting on makeup." Chen Ge was skilled in putting on makeup for the employees, his movements were smooth and flowing, and there was no trace of a straight man. "Xu Wan and Xiao Gu, you two are the seniors, and you are responsible for the two scenes on the ground. Our haunted house has a horror rating system, and many tourists cannot play the high-star scenes, so your task is the most important. You represent the face of our haunted house and affect the tourists' first impression of our haunted house."
"Don't worry, leave it to me and Sister Xu Wan, everything will be fine." Xiao Gu patted his chest and assured. His enthusiastic and optimistic personality made it easy for him to get along well with newcomers.
"Scissors and Zhang Jingjiu, you two are responsible for the underground scenes. Just do your job well. If any tourist encounters an accident, remember to call me as soon as possible to tell me." Chen Ge exchanged glances with Zhang Jingjiu and Scissors. "The underground scenes are difficult. You two need to keep honing your acting skills."
"Understood." Jiandao and Zhang Jingjiu followed Chen Ge into Liwan Town. They knew the meaning of Chen Ge's words.
"One last thing. I will now officially hand over the spare key of the haunted house to Xu Wan. If you encounter a situation where I am not in the haunted house again in the future, you must follow my instructions to maintain the operation of the haunted house." Chen Ge handed the spare key to Xu Wan and looked at the girl in the mirror. "If there is a problem with the scene on the ground, go and ask Xu Wan. If Xu Wan still can't solve it, go and find Director Luo of New Century Park. Don't ask anyone else, and don't trust anyone else."
Without waiting for Xu Wan to answer, Chen Ge stood up and said, "I will be in charge of the underground scene. Now, Scissors and Zhang Jingjiu, you two come over here. I still have a lot to teach you."
After Chen Ge and the others walked away, Xiao Gu found Xu Wan still staring at the mirror in a daze. "Sister, it's time to go. Let's go into the scene. The tourists will be here soon."
"Yeah, I know." Xu Wan held the key in her hand and slowly exerted force, as if she was afraid of losing this most important thing.
Chen Ge brought Zhang Jingjiu and Scissors into the underground scene and stopped outside a room in the underground morgue.
He knocked on the door and an old man in a white coat walked out. He had white hair but a straight figure, like a green pine growing on a rock wall.
"This old gentleman is called Wei Jiuqing. He is the best doctor in our haunted house. If one day I am not in the haunted house and you encounter problems that you cannot solve, you can come find him and he will help you." Doctor Wei is the oldest, has the most experience, and has impeccable character. He is one of the most suitable people to take charge of the overall situation among all the ghost employees.
"Why are you saying this suddenly?" Doctor Wei asked, feeling something was wrong.
"It's okay, I'm just keeping a backup plan."
"Whatever is on your mind, you must tell me! I am very comfortable living in your place, especially I can see my former students and educate them as before." Doctor Wei rarely jokes, this time it seems that he deliberately wants to make Chen Ge happy.
"Don't worry." Chen Ge returned to the ground and waited for tourists to enter the various scenes of the haunted house. He then took Jian Dao and Zhang Jingjiu to tour the underground scenes and introduced most of the ghosts to them.
Scissors and Zhang Jingjiu were so amazed during the "visit" that they could not close their mouths. In this underground scene, there were students, teachers, doctors, patients, and even some special workers. It was like an underground town.
"What you are seeing now is only a part of the underground scene. The entire underground scene is very, very large. It took my parents ten years to build it." Chen Ge explained a lot of taboos to Jiandao and Zhang Jingjiu, and finally sent them into the Liwan Town scene.
"Only friends of ours can become my employees. It will be very difficult to recruit new people in the future." Chen Ge is working hard to train Jiandao and Zhang Jingjiu. When they are able to stand on their own, he will be able to free up his hands to do more things.
Coming out of the underground scene, Chen Ge just walked to the door of the haunted house when Uncle Xu called him, "Chen Ge, Mr. Luo is looking for you."
"Looking for me?"
"Well, be more careful, there are outsiders here." After Uncle Xu reminded quietly, he went back to selling tickets.
Chen Ge ran to the office building and heard laughter coming out as soon as he opened the door.
Mr. Luo was having a very pleasant conversation with a middle-aged man. You would have thought they had been good friends for many years if you hadn’t known them.
"Xiao Chen, come and sit down." Director Luo was very enthusiastic towards Chen Ge. He took the initiative to stand up and gestured with his back to the middle-aged man. However, his voice was still cheerful. "That's Mr. Bai. I introduced him to you before. He has something to ask you."
"Mr. Bai?" Chen Ge immediately understood that the visitor had bad intentions.
"Don't be so distant. We've met several times. I came here because someone asked me to. I can't refuse." Mr. Bai also had a smile on his face. "Before, a haunted house in Xinhai came to visit us, and all their employees were scared into the hospital. Their boss is my friend, so they wanted me to come and help ask, how did Boss Chen do it? Those are all professional haunted house actors who have been in this industry for five or six years. They are considered the best in the market."
"You came here just for this?" Chen Ge was silent for a while, then looked at Mr. Bai, "Maybe it's because they are too weak. I don't think my haunted house is too scary. This varies from person to person. How about you also go into my haunted house and experience it?"
