It looks very desolate and cold, and is completely out of place with the city more than ten kilometers away.
Jiang Shian's voice was filled with a sinister and creepy tone. "Yes, it's just ahead. I heard there really is..."
"Oh, stop it! I'm getting goosebumps!" Xiao Qing rubbed his arm. "Old Jiang, don't scare me. Isn't it called 'operation'? They're all pretending, right? Just a prank like us, right?"
"That's right, Old Jiang, don't exaggerate." Sun Lingling agreed. "I've played the role so many times, and I'm always the only one who scares the shit out of others! I've never encountered a real puppet before! You know, this is a scientific society now. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, spirits are not allowed."
"That being said, as the old saying goes, it's better to believe it than not to believe it. Tsk tsk, if you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. You never know, you might actually encounter it one day."
Jiang Shian's voice had a natural chilling effect, which frightened Sun Lingling so much that she shivered.
"Lingling, don't mention Lao Jiang's nonsense! A man's mouth is a lie!" Shi Yansheng rolled his eyes. "Lao Jiang, stop exaggerating! If there really is a problem, why would the hotel owner spend that much money to hire us to do 'advertising'? We can't even debunk it yet!"
"You don't understand this. True and false, illusory and imaginary. Operations and publicity are all about this kind of effect, both true and false. If the hype of the puppet show is spread, won't more people come to explore, and won't the revenue go up?" Jiang Shi'an said, then lowered his voice and whispered, "But I'm not exaggerating. Fatty Sun in the hotel doesn't look like a good person to me. He looks like the kind of unscrupulous businessman who makes money with a black heart and a dishonest conscience. I've met him several times, and I always feel that he's hiding something. This hotel might really have a problem. Let me tell you, when I came to investigate before, I quietly asked the hotel staff, and they said that there really is a puppet show..."
"Ah?!" Sun Lingling and Xiao Qing exclaimed at the same time.
"Bullshit!" Shi Yansheng continued to roll his eyes.
"Really, I heard about it..." As Jiang Shian spoke, the car left the cement avenue and turned onto a small road. At the end of this hundred-meter-long road was the building that stood alone in the desolate area.
Without the cover of trees, the building came clearly into everyone's sight.
The style is a bit old-fashioned. It is a villa from the Republic of China era, with about four floors. The building covers an area of about 200 square meters. It has an iron railing gate and is surrounded by stone walls. The entire walled area should be more than 500 square meters, which is a very large area.
"Look, does it feel very old-fashioned? Do you know where this is?" Jiang Shian said mysteriously.
"It's just an old abandoned villa. Fatty Sun bought it because he thought it was cheap. He wanted to turn it into a special adventure hotel to attract customers!" Shi Yansheng muttered.
"Yes, I heard from Lao Wang that Fatty Sun is very rich. He has bought this piece of land. It is said that he wants to build a horror and suspense theme park." Xiao Qing interrupted.
"It's rare to find such a desolate place in Hai City." Sun Lingling sighed, "It's a credit to Fatty Sun that he found such a place."
"Do you know why this place is so deserted?" Jiang Shian said with a hint of 'I know the inside story'.
"Why?" All three of them looked curious.
"This is the former site of No. 37 LIN's house!" Jiang Shian dropped a bombshell, and as he finished speaking, he slapped the horn on the steering wheel with his hand.
Ding!
The sound of car horns is particularly loud.
Because of his words, they were extremely nervous, so the horn startled all three of them.
"Damn, Old Jiang, you old bastard, you think the road of life is too long and want to take a shortcut!" Shi Yansheng, who was so scared by the loudspeaker that his heart was about to jump out, immediately started cursing.
"People scare people, scare people to death! Do you know that?" Sun Lingling was still in shock.
"That's right, Old Chiang, you are not kind!" Xiao Qing also patted his chest and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Usually it's you guys who scare people. I'm just trying to see if I have the talent for it. Next time, I'll also apply to be a puppet." Jiang Shian chuckled.
Because of his horn, someone walked out of the walled yard, and the rusty iron gate slowly opened, as if welcoming their arrival.
The three ladies condemned Jiang Shian in unison, then the car stopped and the four of them got out together.
Outside the wall, it looked quite desolate. And inside the wall, the same was true. The plants in the yard were untended, overgrown with weeds, looking desolate. The most lush plant was undoubtedly the creeper.
After getting out of the car and taking a look around, I found that at least half of this villa built in the Republic of China period was hidden under the ivy.
The lush appearance seems to have put a green coat on the building.
"Hey, it's so desolate!" Sun Lingling leaned towards Shi Yansheng and grabbed her arms with both hands.
"Yeah, I'm a little panicked indeed." Shi Yansheng nodded in agreement, "No wonder Fatty Sun chose the 'suspense and horror' genre."
"Okay, stop staring and move your things!"
Jiang Shian had already walked to the trunk of the car, opened it and started to take things out, one box after another, as well as large and small bags.
"By the way, Lao Jiang, the old address of LIN's house at No. 37 that you mentioned is a lie, right?" Xiao Qing walked over and asked while moving his things.
"Why would I lie to you! Their employee said it. Well, if you ask him, he knows it too." Jiang Shian raised his chin in one direction.
Xiao Qing immediately looked over, and Shi Yansheng also looked over.
Another NPC appears.
Lin Xiaoman saw a staff member wearing hotel work clothes. He was a man with a rather burly build, the kind of face that you wouldn't find in a crowd. He looked to be in his early twenties or early thirties. There were three words on his head: Wu Wenming.
Lin Xiaoman: This name...
Staff member Wu Wenming was very enthusiastic, "Master Jiang, you are finally here, let me help you move."
"Thank you. These boxes contain equipment. Please move them to the monitoring room."
"OK."
"Brother, I heard that this building is the famous LIN family residence No. 37. Is it true?" Xiao Qing asked with a little fear.
"Uh..." A hint of embarrassment flashed across his face. Wu Wenming touched his nose in a flattering manner and explained with a smile, "I'll be honest with you. Nothing happened. It was just a gimmick the boss came up with. They told us to say it on purpose to create suspense and promote it. The more mysterious the story is, the more people will come. Who knows, it might become an instant hit when it officially opens. It's just a publicity stunt."
"I told you, it's just a scare tactic." Xiao Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Wu, that's not what you said last time." Jiang Shian asked unhappily, and then, without waiting for his answer, he said with a look of sudden enlightenment, "Oh, I see, explaining is covering up!"
"Old Jiang!!" Sun Lingling was unhappy. "We're going to stay here for several days. Can't we just have some peace?"
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything."
