Chen Ge asked Old Wu to reveal his identity to the landlord, and the two entered the rental house to check.
Chiren walked in a hurry, the food on the table was not finished, all kinds of clothes were thrown on the sofa, the drawers were not closed, and the house was in a mess, like a thief.
"Did Chiren tell you where he's going?"
"No, but he's been on the phone with people recently. It seems that he wants others to take him in for a while, and he has had a lot of quarrels with the people on the phone." The landlord pointed to the wall: "The old house has poor sound insulation. , Although Chiren usually looks very honest, he is very scary when he gets angry."
"Then have you heard the names of more important people and places?" Chen Ge looked serious.
"They seem to have mentioned a deli called Shilixiang, and the owner also seems to be surnamed." The landlord can provide limited information, and Chen Ge has quietly released Men Nan during the conversation.
While they were chatting, Men Nan probably searched the entire room, but found nothing.
Leaving the apartment building, Old Wu drove Chen Ge to Shilixiang Deli again.
This store is located on the most prosperous Century Avenue in Xinhai. Coincidentally, Shangguan Qinghong's haunted house is also near Century Avenue. The two stores belong to the same business district.
"Century Avenue business district is brightly lit 24 hours a day and is very popular. It is indeed a good choice to hide here." In a popular place, it is very inconvenient for Specter to move, and even the red clothes will be affected.
"Angkor, you don't need to worry about me after you send me to the deli. I'm really bothering you today. When you're free, I'll definitely invite you to dinner."
"Can you do it alone? This is Xinhai. You are unfamiliar with your life, but you dare not do anything dangerous by yourself." Old Wu gave Chen Ge his mobile phone number: "Call me if you are in trouble, I'll try my best to help you find a way."
"Thank you."
Old Wu came with Teacher Wang. He still has a mission and cannot act with Chen Ge for a long time, but he can send Chen Ge to Xinhai, which has already made Chen Ge very grateful.
Carrying two large bags, Chen Ge directly found Shilixiang Deli.
The store is not big, but there are a lot of customers, and there is a long queue at the door.
"Business is booming."
It took fifteen minutes for Chen Ge to arrive in line. He looked at the various cooked foods in the window and smelled the fragrant aroma: "Boss, why does your cooked food feel better than other people's?"
"My family has a secret sauce handed down from my ancestors. This taste is the only one in the world!" The boss is a big fat man and looks very happy.
"Let's have a little of everything. I like meat very much." When Chen Ge was talking, he had been secretly observing the boss and staff and found no problems. This seemed to be a very normal deli.
After paying the money, Chen Ge left with a large bag of cooked food.
It was already dark, but the street was still full of traffic. Not only did it not become deserted, but it became more and more lively.
"Xinhai is a big city after all." Chen Ge carried two large bags and the bag of cooked food, and found Shangguan Qinghong's haunted house on the corner of the street. Compared with the main road, the crowd here was indeed much less.
"The last time I came, this was someone else's haunted house."
As soon as Chen Ge entered the haunted house, an employee greeted her enthusiastically, but when she saw Chen Ge's face, she instantly stepped back a few steps.
"Chen, Chen Ge..." The female employee was so impressed with Chen Ge that her boss was hospitalized twice because of this terrifying man in front of her.
"Call me boss in the future, New Century Paradise has bought you here." Chen Ge took out a certificate from his backpack: "Go and call all the free employees, I have something to tell you."
The nemesis became the new boss, and all the employees in the hall looked ugly. They looked at Chen Ge just like the villain in the TV series.
"Don't stand still, hurry up!" Chen Ge had no intention of bullying these employees. Although this haunted house provoked him first, he was a very generous person, and he didn't let go of the little things in the past. on the heart.
Ten minutes later, several employees wearing ghost makeup hurried out of the scene. Counting the cashier and the handyman in charge of water and electricity logistics, there were a total of five employees standing in the hall.
"Why are you the only ones here? What about the others? Do you want to give me a slap in the face?" Chen Ge had the impression that there were at least a dozen employees in this haunted house.
"There are fewer and fewer tourists, wages can't be paid, and there are rumors of haunted people, many people choose to leave." The female employee whispered: "Because there are not enough staff, now we will open the two most popular sub-scenes. ."
"Occupying such a good location, there are actually fewer and fewer tourists? It seems that Shangguan Qinghong really needs to reflect on it." Chen Ge looked at the five remaining employees: "Shangguan Qinghong has already sold this place to Me, if you are willing to continue working here, I welcome you, if you are not willing, I will make up for the wages Shangguan Qinghong owes you, so we can get together."
Hearing that Chen Ge said that he would pay back wages, the remaining five employees were a little moved. In the end, including the female front desk employee, four of them chose to leave.
Chen Ge settled their wages on the spot: "You will not use it tomorrow, I wish you can find better jobs."
After the handover, the four employees removed their makeup and left, leaving only Chen Ge and a female employee in the huge haunted house.
"Why didn't you leave with them?" Chen Ge looked at the female employee and felt a little familiar.
"I usually live here. If I leave, I don't even have a place to live."
"You must have saved a lot of money after working for so long, right? Why don't you even have a place to rent?" When Chen Ge said this, he forgot that he also lived in a haunted house every day.
"My brother's health is not very good. He has to go to school for medical treatment. It costs a lot. If I can save it, I will try to save it as much as possible." The female employee whispered. She seemed to be afraid of Chen Ge, but for the sake of salary and housing place, she stood still.
"Is there a problem at home?" Chen Ge nodded: "You add me on WeChat first, and I will make up for the salary owed by Shangguan Qinghong. You can stay here and work in the future."
"thank you boss."
"Have we met before? I always feel that you look familiar."
"My name is Hu Die, and everyone calls me Xiaodie. When you visited here last time, I played the pen fairy game with you." The female employee whispered back.
"It's you! I almost didn't recognize it after I took off my makeup." Chen Ge thought of this girl. At that time, he and Xiaodie were playing the pen fairy game together. In the second game, he put the ballpoint pen with the real pen fairy hidden in it. When she took it out, Xiaodie was directly stunned.
In order to prevent embarrassment, Chen Ge changed the subject: "It is said that our haunted house is really haunted. You have experienced it yourself. Why do you still insist on working here? Are you not afraid?"
"There is nothing in this world that scares me more than being poor." Xiaodie held her hands together, her family environment seemed to be very bad.
"Don't think about those unhappy things, work hard. I can't guarantee that you will be rich in the future, but at least it's no problem to double your salary." Chen Ge doesn't like to talk empty words and clichés, he usually talks about him can do.
"The employee benefits here are much better than yours before. You'd better find a place to live first. I'm not driving you away. After I came here last time, I found that there is indeed a problem with your haunted house." Chen Ge stared at Xiaodie's eyes: "There seems to be something unclean at night. For your safety, let's move out."
Xiaodie nodded, looking a little pitiful.
"Come on, take me around the haunted house. I was in a hurry last time. I haven't seen many scenes yet."
Chen Ge and Xiaodie entered the haunted house, and before they watched a few scenes, Xiaodie's phone suddenly rang.
Seeing the caller ID, Xiaodie embarrassedly walked to the side and connected the call.
"Sister, where are you? Can I stay with you for one night tonight?" A boy's voice came from the phone, with a cry in his voice.
Xiaodie was very embarrassed. Chen Ge just told her that she couldn't live here, and she didn't know how to answer her brother: "Aren't you living on campus? Why did you sneak out?"
"I really can't live there anymore."
"They bullied you again?" Xiaodie was a little angry.
"Sister, don't ask, I'm at the door of your haunted house now, you can just let me stay for one night." The boy begged desperately, Xiaodie looked at Chen Ge helplessly, she opened her mouth before she spoke, Chen Ge nodded agreed.
"No problem. You can let him live here for one night today, but it's not a long-term solution. You'd better find out why he doesn't want to live on campus."
"Thank you boss." Xiaodie hung up the phone and ran out of the scene with Chen Ge.
In the hall of the haunted house at this moment, a thin and thin high school student with very white skin was standing.
"Why did you come here by yourself?" Xiaodie saw the high school student and hurried over. She took out the wet wipes from under the counter and helped the high school student wipe his clothes and dust on his arm: "I'm going to find a Band-Aid, you are there Don't run around."
After Xiaodie left, Chen Ge and the high school students were left in the hall.
"Can your school allow resident students to leave the school at will at night?" Chen Ge put the two large bags in his hand on the seat, and took two glasses of water. He took one and put the other in front of the high school students.
The male student didn't pick up the water that Chen Ge handed over. He didn't seem to like Chen Ge too much: "Are you and my sister a colleague? Why are you two here today?"
"Can't you?" Chen Ge took a sip of the water from the cup and smiled.
The auras of the two were not at the same level at all. Little brother Xiaodie stood on the spot, holding the glasses that had been trampled on, silently not saying a word.
After a while, Xiaodie ran over with the medicine box of the haunted house and gave her brother a simple treatment of the wound.
In the middle, Xiaodie asked her brother many times what happened, but her brother just didn't say anything. After the wound was treated, her brother walked into the haunted house with a schoolbag. He seemed to know where the staff lounge of the haunted house was. For the first time, he took refuge in a haunted house.
"Hu Yuan! Wait!" Xiaodie shouted twice before the high school student stopped.
"I don't want to say anything, can you please stop asking!" Hu Yuan's mood fluctuated greatly, and his heart was obviously very painful.
"This is Chen Ge, the new boss of Nightmare Academy. You have to live in a haunted house, at least with his approval. This is the most basic courtesy." Xiaodie dragged Hu Yuan to Chen Ge's side.
"He can live here, but what can he change by hiding here for a night?" Chen Ge walked up to Hu Yuan: "Fear will not dissipate just because you avoid it. Your sister and I will help you find a solution."
Since getting the black phone, Chen Ge has encountered countless problem children and has accumulated a wealth of experience.
Under his constant guidance, Hu Yuan finally told the truth.
There are four people in their dormitory, and the other three always form a group to bully him.
He usually endured it, but when school was over this afternoon, the three little bastards shoved him a letter.
Hu Yuan insisted not to, but the three started to make fun of his sister, and finally Hu Yuan fought with the three.
The skinny Hu Yuan was of course not the opponent of the three. After being beaten, he didn't want to go back to the dormitory, so he ran to his sister.
Very typical school bullying, Xiaodie is very angry and wants to go to the school teacher tomorrow.
"They want to send you a letter?" Chen Ge heard something strange: "Did you want that letter in the end?"
"Cao Fei stuffed the letter with me. I was going to throw it away, but I hesitated after seeing the contents of the letter." Hu Yuan took out a letter from his schoolbag: "Don't read it, I Find a way to get rid of it."
In fact, Chen Ge didn't care, but after seeing the envelope, his pupils gradually shrank. The surface of the letter had a dark black mark left behind after the blood dried up: "Why is there human blood on the envelope?"
Chen Ge took the letter in his hand, and disregarded Hu Yuan's obstruction to open the letter. In addition to a few hairs of different lengths, there was also a case sheet.
The patient's name was not written on the list, but a few words were written on the back with a red ballpoint pen.
"Please cut one of your hair and put it in an envelope, and then give this letter to someone else."
"If you don't pass this letter on to anyone else before dark, I'll be at your house at four forty-four in the morning."
"If you still haven't handed this letter to others within three days, I will appear in front of your eyes at 4:44 in the morning."
"Curse the envelope? So naive." Chen Ge looked at the hair in the envelope and knew that many people had already touched the envelope.
"You better return the letter to me. I heard Cao Fei say that he really seemed to see something last night." Hu Yuan went to get the envelope, but Chen Ge avoided it.
"The most important task at your age is to study hard, and you don't care about other things." Chen Ge patted Hu Yuan's shoulder: "The person who gave you this letter is called Cao Fei, right? "
"kindness."
"He lives on campus like you?"
"What do you want to do?" Hu Yuan was stunned, looking at her sister, Xiaodie didn't know what Chen Ge wanted to do.
"I'm going to appear by his bed at 4:44 in the morning tonight." Chen Ge put away the envelope with a smile: "Just kidding, you go inside and rest first."
With a relaxed and natural expression, Chen Ge was as if nothing had happened. He asked Xiaodie to show him all the scenes, and then locked himself in the principal's office.
"The configuration of the Nightmare Academy is better than that of the House of Horrors. These props alone are worth a lot of money." Chen Ge opened the comic book and asked the red-clothed people to carefully search every corner of the Haunted House. After confirming that there was no danger, He was completely relieved.
"There are two things to do tonight, to investigate the deli, and to find out the source of the cursed envelope." Chen Ge has seen many case sheets, but it was the first time he saw a blank case sheet without a name or photo. .
"I'll go to Cao Fei after the early morning, and look up one by one, I will definitely find the source of the curse." Chen Ge put his legs on the principal's desk and changed a comfortable posture: "School is a place to study. , all those who attack students are not worthy of forgiveness."
