"Xiao Chen, where have you been? Why are you so late?" Uncle Xu pulled Chen Ge's arm, afraid that he would suffer a loss, and pulled him behind him.
"I just came back from the city police station. I helped the police solve a hidden corpse case."
"What?"
Not only Uncle Xu, but also several people who had gathered around him stopped in their tracks. Wouldn't the average person's answer be something like "traffic jam" or "going to the toilet"? This conversation jumped too much, it wasn't a normal way to start the conversation!
"Corpse case?" Uncle Xu stared at Chen Ge in a daze, and suddenly forgot what he should say.
"Well, unlike the last family murder case, this case will probably not be made public."
And the last time? The murder of a whole family? The people who were originally gathered outside aggressively suddenly became intimidated.
"Okay, let me handle it." Chen Ge stood in front of those people: "What do you want to talk to me about?"
He stood there alone, and his aura was much stronger than the other person. The people blocking the door of the haunted house looked at each other, and finally the shortest middle-aged man was pushed out awkwardly.
"We are from Qin Guang Studio. Last night you used unfair competition tactics and hired trolls to spread rumors, causing damage to Qin Guang's reputation..."
"I used unfair competition? You guys are really good at accusing me. Don't you know who is plagiarizing?" Chen Ge interrupted the other party directly: "If you have nothing to do, you can leave. Don't disturb the tourists' normal visit."
“Qin Guang’s live broadcast just happened in the same place as yours. You can’t say that the latecomer copied your idea just because you did it there first.” The middle-aged man did not leave but tried to defend himself.
"Compare the live broadcast videos of me and Qin Guang. The reasoning in the room at the beginning is exactly the same. The whole process is imitation. Isn't this called plagiarism?"
"He just imitated you at the beginning, but he had his own innovations in the later part of the story. This is not plagiarism at all, it is just following the trend at best."
Chen Ge had never seen such a shameless person. He was too lazy to pay attention to him and opened the guardrail of the haunted house to prepare for business.
"You are a new anchor, we understand your idea, but you have to know that it is not so easy to take advantage of the popularity of big anchors." The middle-aged man took out a document from his bag. At first, Chen Ge thought it was a lawyer's letter or something, but he obviously overestimated the other party's determination.
"You are not from this circle, so you don't understand some things. Many big anchors are built up by funds and traffic. It seems that you have gained popularity now and your momentum is very strong, but the platform will not offend Qin Guang for a newcomer, because Qin Guang was promoted by the platform, and his interests are tied to the platform." The middle-aged man raised the document in his hand: "Again, cooperation is beneficial to both sides. If you agree to stop maliciously attacking Qin Guang and publicly apologize on your personal homepage, we will give you certain compensation. But if you insist on your own way and continue to invite water army to Qin Guang's live broadcast room to lead the rhythm and attract popularity for your own live broadcast room, then we will contact the platform to block all your recommendation channels."
“Don’t blame the Internet security guards for everything that’s disadvantageous to you. The Internet security guards are not to blame. It’s just that passers-by can’t stand it anymore.” Chen Ge didn’t care about the threat from the other party at all, because the platform had never arranged any recommendations for him, and even he himself didn’t know how he got so much attention.
"Acting on impulse will not benefit anyone. Please reconsider." The middle-aged man softened his attitude, and there was no trace of the toughness he had shown when he blocked the door before. Originally, five or six of them came together to question him, but before they even got close, Chen Ge's words disrupted all their plans.
In fact, it is not their fault. No normal person would have thought that Chen Ge would start talking about corpse hiding cases and family murders. It sounded too scary.
"Don't think about it. I already know the selling points of my short videos and live broadcasts. Even if I am forced to leave this platform, I can quickly gather fans again." Chen Ge pushed the people from Qin Guang's studio aside and informed Xu Wan to prepare for business.
He had been running around all night and was indeed a little tired, so he sat outside to buy tickets.
After the first few waves of tourists had their experience, several people from Qin Guang’s studio came over.
"Why are you guys like dog-skin plasters? Can you please stop blocking the road if you don't want to visit?" Even a clay man can get angry. Chen Ge felt that he had been very polite before, but this group of people were still making trouble.
"Who said we don't want to visit? We also want to go into your haunted house and experience it, and see how scary your so-called most terrifying haunted house in Jiujiang is." Two young men in Qin Guang's studio were standing at the guardrail door with their bags on their backs.
"You guys want to come in and visit too?" Chen Ge couldn't figure out what these people were planning and always felt they had other purposes.
"If you're afraid that we'll expose your false propaganda, then we won't go in." Among the two young men, one had a sturdy build and was obviously a guy who worked out regularly. He wore a vest and deliberately exposed his muscles.
Chen Ge was amused by this young man: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, the last person who said that walked in and came out lying down."
"Now that you've said that, I want to try it even more." Next to the sturdy young man was a man wearing glasses and looking very quiet: "I have liked horror movies since I was a child. Before being recruited into Brother Qin's studio, I followed horror movie crews to some locations. It's a pity that the scenes set up by those crews are too fake, and they don't feel like anything at all."
"I just admire people like you who like to seek excitement." Chen Ge lifted the opaque black curtain and said, "Come in and sign the waiver first."
How could Chen Ge refuse the test product that was delivered to his door? The smile on his face became more sincere.
Uncle Xu who was standing next to him shuddered when he saw the smile on Chen Ge's face. He thought of the forensic medical student who had collapsed on the ground.
With a dry cough, Uncle Xu stopped Chen Ge and said, "Xiao Chen, don't go too far. They are just tourists now."
"You're acting pretty convincingly. Are you guys starting the foreplay now?" Before Chen Ge could say anything, the young man with glasses thought he had seen through the truth and said with disdain: "Before I came here, I read the reviews about the haunted house on Dianping.com. Some people said that the owner of the haunted house knows a little about psychology. Today I see that his reputation is well-deserved."
Uncle Xu looked at him speechlessly. What the hell! If I wasn't afraid of getting someone killed, I wouldn't bother with you guys!
"I know my limits, don't worry." Chen Ge led the two young men into the haunted house and watched them sign the waiver agreement with his own eyes.
The one wearing a vest and with a sturdy build is called Zhu Jianing, and the one wearing glasses and with a thin build is called Fei Youliang.
