After communicating with the female tourist, Chen Ge became more interested in the children in the corridor.

"A guy who dares to wander around in the daytime is definitely not an ordinary ghost, but at least a fierce ghost. But why does he stay here? Is it because he has unfulfilled wishes? Or is the item he entrusted to be buried deep inside the building?"

Chen Ge felt uncomfortable when he thought about the soul of a child who could not rest in peace day and night, so he decided to help the child fulfill his last obsession.

Chen Ge walked downstairs quickly. He didn't know what to do to increase the probability of meeting the boy, so he found a blind spot in the surveillance camera and called Lao Zhou out.

"A woman just said that there is a little boy wandering around in this corridor. Can you sense his location?" Chen Ge asked Lao Zhou with the idea of ​​giving it a try.

"I don't feel anything. Maybe he is hiding." Old Zhou looked up and around: "But this place is really strange."

"What's strange? Did you find anything?"

"Ordinary residual souls cannot appear during the day, and evil spirits can only appear for a short time. If they leave the object of entrustment for too long, they will cause irreparable damage. Normally, this is the case, but our Western Suburbs Haunted House is an exception. I don't know the specific reason. Anyway, even in the daytime, we can appear in the Haunted House at will. Not only is there no time limit, but it is also very comfortable to stay in it." After talking about the Haunted House, Lao Zhou looked at the corridor of the Nightmare Academy: "Although this place is not as good as our haunted house, I can stay in it for a long time. This building seems to be completely isolated from the direct sunlight, and the yin energy is very heavy."

"Can you stay in Nightmare Academy for a long time?" At one point, Chen Ge even had the idea of ​​keeping Lao Zhou as an insider.

"Not only me, but ordinary souls, such as the students of Muyang Middle School, should be able to bear it. Such places are too rare." Old Zhou said meaningfully.

"The Nightmare Academy has been open for many years. It is probably because of the special geographical environment and the special industry here that caused the abnormalities." Chen Ge stood in the corner against the wall.

"The negative emotions vented by tourists have been accumulated here for many years, and the building is full of negative energy. If this continues, this place may attract more and more ghosts." Old Zhou frowned and looked very serious: "Just like our haunted house occasionally has special tourists come to visit. If we can't control the place, very dangerous things may happen. The consequences are unimaginable."

Chen Ge pondered silently: "That makes sense. What do you think we can do for them?"

"It's better for us to take over such a dangerous place. After all, we are used to danger." Lao Zhou sighed and persuaded helplessly.

After a moment's silence, Chen Ge finally spoke: "With great power comes great responsibility. Although I don't live in Xinhai, I can't just stand by and watch problems arise in Xinhai. Once I finish dealing with our business, I will immediately contact Director Luo and work together to take over this building and nip the danger in the bud."

"To establish something, you must first establish people. It's such a blessing to meet a boss like you." Lao Zhou's frown relaxed instantly and he sighed sincerely.

The fantastic cooperation between Chen Ge and Lao Zhou formed a sharp contrast with the boss of Nightmare Academy and his employees. The reason for this situation may be due to Chen Ge's potential personal charm.

Taking Lao Zhou with him, Chen Ge ran directly to the first floor. There was no exit at the end of the corridor, only a door painted on the wall.

"The gate is painted on it. If the last tourist to pass through the game according to the rules finds that the gate is just a painting on the wall, he will definitely be panicked."

After visiting for a long time, Chen Ge has figured out the terrain of the entire Nightmare Academy. There is an unsafe "safe" passage on each side of the building. These two roads are dead ends. The real way out is the elevator in the middle, which is the elevator that tourists come in and take.

This arrangement has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it can stimulate the fear in the hearts of tourists. The disadvantage is that when encountering special tourists, the employees themselves have nowhere to escape.

"Old Zhou, after we find the child, you stay at the elevator and make sure it stops at your floor."

"clear."

With Lao Zhou around, Chen Ge felt very relieved. It was just a pity for the staff in the monitoring room. They might see something very scary in the near future.

After Chen Ge and Lao Zhou arrived on the first floor, they quickly discovered that the building had more than just a few floors, there was also a staircase leading underground.

Looking at the underground floor specially marked with red paint on the wall, Chen Ge stopped. The atmosphere here was completely different from the scenes upstairs.

The steps were covered with dust and littered with yellowed newspapers, some of which had large black and brown stains on them.

Chen Ge picked up a picture and glanced at it: "The father was careless, the builder violated the rules, whose fault is it that the child is missing?"

It was not known whether these newspapers were created by the haunted house itself or whether they really did happen, but they printed a lot of reports about the missing boy, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

"Experts ultimately concluded that the boy was hiding in an unfinished basement."

Chen Ge put the newspaper aside and bent down to look at the corridor on the basement floor.

Without any lighting, the haunted house retains its original appearance as the underground part of the building.

"If this isn't a haunted house scene, there should be a sign prohibiting entry at the passage. The haunted house didn't give any hints, which means that although this place has nothing to do with the theme of the haunted school, it is also one of the haunted house scenes and should be considered a hidden scene."

In order to avoid being caught by surveillance cameras, Chen Ge and Lao Zhou kept a distance.

He walked underground alone, his shoes making a rustling sound on the newspapers.

Halfway through the walk, Chen Ge suddenly stopped. He looked back, then looked forward, his eyes falling on the last step.

"There are thirteen steps to this floor?"

Chen Ge was sure that he had counted correctly. There were indeed thirteen steps in the corridor leading to the basement.

"Did the staff make a mistake due to carelessness when the building was being constructed? Or did the Nightmare Academy tamper with it? Why is there an extra step?"

He continued walking down with his bag, and his left foot landed on the thirteenth step.

Looking around, Chen Ge didn't see anything special.

But just as he used his left leg as a fulcrum with his right leg hanging in the air, the ground in front of him was suddenly "lifted open"!

A man who was only as tall as a six or seven-year-old child jumped out screaming, his face smeared with bright red paint, and he grabbed Chen Ge with both hands.

Chen Ge focused all his attention on the thirteenth step, but he didn't expect that there was a secret compartment hidden in the ground in front of the step.

The other party caught him off guard, but Chen Ge's reaction to the sudden situation was different from all the tourists that Nightmare Academy had received since its opening.

Without knowing whether the other party was a human or a ghost, Chen Ge swung his backpack towards the other party and subconsciously called out a name: "Xu Yin!"
