Chang Gu's life was a tragedy, but this tragedy happened entirely because of the psychic ghost school, which took away his sister and indirectly killed his parents.
For Chen Ge, the psychic ghost school was just a mission, but for Chang Gu, this school was a cage that trapped him for life.
He wants to know the secrets of the psychic ghost school more than Chen Ge, which is one of the reasons why Chen Ge would choose to cooperate with him.
After listening to Chang Gu's story, Chen Ge still had some doubts in his heart: "But what does what you said have to do with those parents, and why are they staring at you?"
"I didn't know that Chang Wenyu's situation was an example at first. I secretly investigated through various channels, visited many families in trouble, asked about their experiences, tried to find clues, helped them, and saved myself at the same time. Unfortunately, I It is too simple to think of human nature. Humans can abandon human nature for hate, and they can do anything by any means for love. They gradually stopped passively cooperating with my investigation, but wanted to force everything out of me. They even thought Goug out my left eye." Chang Gu didn't elaborate, but he was sure that it wasn't a pleasant memory, otherwise he wouldn't have been hiding under the protection of the red-clothed ghost.
"If I still have power after I find my sister, then I will definitely help them, but the reality is that I am almost completely blind, dragging this half-dead body, and I can't protect myself, how can I still manage them? "Chang Gu's voice gradually became louder, and it was only in this old house in the deep mountains and forests that he dared to vent like this.
"You did a good job." Chen Ge leaned back against the door, he wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Chang Gu.
"Actually, I have been hesitating about one thing. I have to make a decision before I completely lose my sight." Chang Gu faced Chen Ge and opened his eyes. His right eye was full of whites, and his left eye looked at him at first glance It is no different from the eyes of normal people, but if you look closely, you will find that there are fine bloodshots where the eyeballs and the eye sockets are connected: "I was hesitant before, but your arrival has strengthened my confidence, I can't drag it on any longer. already."
"What does this have to do with me? Did I stimulate you?" Chen Ge didn't know what he didn't do well: "Don't be impulsive, the two of us are now companions. If there is anything, we can discuss it."
"You can't help me with this."
"How do you know there's nothing I can do if you don't tell me? Even if I can't, I still have a lot of friends and brothers, and you saw them that night."
Referring to what happened that night, Chang Gu's face turned blue, he thought for a long time before speaking: "After the eye replacement surgery, my vision in the right eye is getting worse and worse, and I can't see anything in the left eye. There is only endless pain, I have been suffering. Until one day, I was woken up by pain in my sleep, half-dream and half-awake, I vaguely saw a door, in order to see more clearly, I closed it subconsciously I closed my left eye and only saw with my right eye. But to my surprise, when I closed my left eye, the hazy door disappeared!"
Chang Gu was a little excited, he shouted to Chen Ge: "Do you know what this means?"
"That door you saw with your left eye?"
"That's right! I saw a door with my sister's eyes!" When Chang Gu said these words, blue veins appeared on his face, and his eyes bulged outward, as if they would fall out at any time, which was very scary.
"What does the door you see look like? Is it blood red and bloodshot on it?" When Chang Gu mentioned the word "door", Chen Ge's attention was already highly concentrated. , "door" has a very special meaning to him.
"Blood red?" Chang Gu shook his head: "The door I saw was just an ordinary door, but when I was fully awake, that door disappeared."
"Very ordinary door? Have you seen that door later?" Chen Ge didn't know why the door Chang Gu saw was different from the blood door.
"I have seen it, but I only saw it every time I was half asleep. I tried to get close to it, but once I woke up, the door disappeared immediately."
"As you put it, it's useless to even see that door."
"I thought so too at first, but then I discovered something very strange. The distance between the door and me was getting closer and closer! It was like it was sucking me in!" Chang Gu's voice changed. It was very terrifying: "As early as a few months ago, that door ran to my bedside, as long as I woke up from a dream, my left eye would see that door standing beside my bed! I just need to lift a You can push open that door and enter it!"
Chang Gu gasped, this should be the deepest secret in his heart: "I don't know where that door leads to, let alone what's behind it, I've always been afraid, but now I don't want to run away. Since This door is seen by the left eye, and behind that door is probably the psychic ghost school!"
Chen Ge was very surprised by Chang Gu's remarks, but he quickly calmed down again.
He has entered the world behind the "door", and more than once. He also saw many doors, but every door was blood red.
"Your speculation is very reasonable, but I feel that there may not be a psychic ghost school behind that door. We have to take a long-term view on this matter." Chen Ge has never been in contact with the four-star scene, and he does not know the difference between the four-star scene and the three-star scene. What is the difference, so he is not sure that the door of the four-star scene must be blood red.
"I've run out of time." Chang Gu raised his hand and stretched out his left eye. He gently rolled his eyelid. The place where the eye socket and the eyeball were connected had all been necrotic, and was only hooked up by black and red blood threads.
"Well, since you insist on trying, then I won't stop it, I just hope you can agree to a small request." Chen Ge's own time is running out, and there are only twenty left until the four-star mission ends. multiple hours.
"What request?"
"When you push the door in tonight, I want to stay by your side to prevent accidents. Don't be too busy to refuse, this is the last thing I can do for you." Chen Ge's attitude is sincere and his eyes are sincere.
"Tonight?" Chang Gu was stunned for a moment, but still agreed readily: "No problem, just tonight!"
When Chang Gu agreed, the black phone in Chen Ge's pocket suddenly vibrated, and he turned around and took out his phone to click on a new message.
"Lucky Specter Patron! Congratulations on gaining Chang Gu's trust, the third part of the Left Eye quest is unlocked—???"
"Attention! This task is full of uncertainties! It is very likely to cause serious consequences, please choose carefully!"
Looking at the information on the black phone, Chen Ge's heart beat faster, and he read it several times: "This task is so strange? The content of the task is full of question marks, and the precautions are specially marked with uncertainty. The most critical It was the warning that made me choose carefully, but it didn't even list an option!"
Putting away the black phone, Chen Ge had an indescribable worry in his heart.
"You don't look very good." Chang Gu poured Chen Ge a glass of water.
"I'm fine, go to sleep, I'll be by your side." Chen Ge called Xu Yin back to the reader, moved a chair and sat at the door.
"Excuse me." Chang Gu lay on the bed and covered with a towel.
Time passed slowly, and after two hours, Chang Gu still didn't fall asleep.
"Probably too nervous, I don't have any sleepiness right now."
Being stared at like this, no one else can fall asleep.
"Why don't I go down the mountain and get you some sleeping pills?"
"Forget it, it is estimated that it will take more than three hours to go back and forth. Besides, the pharmacy is closed now." When Chang Gu thought that he was going to open the door tonight, he was not sleepy.
"Maybe it's because there are strangers, I'm going to guard outside, you can relax." Chen Ge opened the door and walked out.
Mosquitoes were flying, and Chang Gu was tossing and turning, but he still couldn't sleep. He checked his watch several times, and it was already more than two o'clock in the morning.
"I'm very tired, but I can't sleep. It's weird."
After tossing until dawn, Chang Gu still couldn't fall asleep. He walked out of the wooden house very embarrassed, and found that Chen Ge had just been guarding the door all night.
"I'm sorry, I don't know why I just can't sleep."
"It's okay." Chen Ge's mental state is not very good, because he is worried about missing the moment when Chang Gu pushes the 'door', he has been in a state of high tension: "It seems that we can only wait for tonight, Chang Gu, try your best during the day. Don't sleep, I'll come to see you at night."
"Okay." Bai let Chen Ge stay outside his door all night, and Chang Gu felt a trace of guilt in his heart.
The two agreed on a time to meet tonight, and then Chen Ge left with Qiu Mei.
He didn't want to take Qiu Mei as a hostage, but simply because he didn't know the way back.
After walking for forty minutes, Chen Ge walked out of Yongling Mountain. He put Qiu Mei into the comic book and took a taxi to New Century Paradise.
At 8:30 in the morning, Chen Ge returned to the park. The employees had already arrived, and they were very enthusiastic about their work.
"Let's go, let's do makeup first."
Non-stop, after Chen Ge helped all the employees do their makeup, he started to check the various scenes, and was ready to rest until the park opened.
But as soon as he entered the lounge, before he touched the pillow, he was pulled away by Uncle Xu again.
The park is about to usher in the peak season, and Chen Ge's House of Horrors is the most important publicity point, so Director Luo has a lot to talk to him about.
From the most basic park slogans, to advertisements on major channels, to the layout of the Haunted House in Xinhai City, the two discussed it all morning.
Mr. Luo hopes that Chen Ge's haunted house can cooperate with the promotion of the park and launch a new scene.
This coincides with Chen Ge, but because of the special nature of the psychic ghost school's mission, Chen Ge did not agree directly, but said that he would think about it again.
After dinner, the two finally decided on two sets of plans, a set of optimal plans and a set of alternative plans.
Chen Ge was very nervous in the mountains all night, and then discussed future plans and publicity plans with Director Luo for the morning. He is very tired now.
He didn't even bother to eat lunch, Chen Ge just wanted to hurry back to the staff lounge to have a good sleep, but before he got to the haunted house, he was entangled in something.
"Boss Chen!"
A somewhat familiar voice sounded behind him, and when Chen Ge looked back, his expression was very surprised.
"Qu Changlin?" The genius who made puppets from the Nightmare Academy actually appeared at the door of his haunted house.
"After the last meeting, I asked my colleague about your information, and then I checked your story online..." Qu Changlin's expression was very complicated, which made Chen Ge feel a little uneasy, and the other party was not that easy to cheat. .
"What did your colleagues say?"
"In a few months, you have managed a haunted house that is about to be shut down into the haunted house with the highest praise and the most tourists in a single day on the market. You have created a miracle. You are the most powerful haunted house operator I have ever seen. I am really happy that my design can be praised by you."
"I'm telling the truth. All of your abilities are above that of ordinary haunted house actors, and you still have talent in puppet making. You should have a better stage to show yourself." Since the other party They all ran over, and Chen Ge naturally wouldn't let him go.
"Compared with the information searched on the Internet, you are a real person who is more kind and considerate. I remember everything you said to me that day. You made me regain my confidence and I can do better. Well, you can also live a better life." Qu Changlin did not regard Chen Ge as an enemy, no matter from which aspect, Chen Ge was helping him, and every word he said was for his consideration.
"Aren't you here just to say thank you to me?" The sun shone on Chen Ge's face, and his smile was bright and full of power.
"Boss Chen, I want to interview your haunted house and learn more things here." Qu Changlin hesitated for a long time, and finally said it.
"Man will make countless choices in his life. You made a correct choice today that can change your life." Chen Ge took Qu Changlin into the House of Horrors and handed him the employee manual.
"Do you need to take it all down?"
"Just keep it in mind. You have many years of work experience and talent. What you lack is just a stage." Chen Ge led Qu Changlin to the door of the zombie resurrection night scene. This scene is located on the first floor of the haunted house and has been idle all the time. Because there are enough underground scenes, Chen Ge didn't care about it.
"From now on, this scene will be designed by you, and you will be in charge. I want to see the limit of your abilities." Chen Ge and Qu Changlin stood at the door of Zombie Resurrection Night. This scene is better than Qu Changlin's original. The toilet is too big and the environment is better than the toilet.
"Don't! I just arrived here and I don't know anything, so how dare you hand me such a big scene? Boss Chen, I have never been in charge of such a big scene, and this scene is on the first floor! Tourists come in first. What I see is this scene, if you don’t get it right, it will leave a bad impression on tourists, and may even smash the signboard of your haunted house!” Qu Changlin was really panicked, he thought when he came. There have been countless possibilities, but I have never thought about this situation.
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe in your ability, I believe that it is enough for you to have this ability." Chen Ge patted Qu Changlin on the shoulder: "Let go and do it, this is also a test for you."
Chen Ge actually thought very clearly that there were too many secrets in his haunted house, and Qu Changlin didn't know many things yet, so he simply asked him to transform this abandoned scene first.
"What you are best at is making puppets. I have a phone number for the owner of the model studio. If you need it, you can contact him directly and report my name." The scene expanded by the black phone was empty. In the future, he will definitely need a lot of puppets and props. He can't make it by himself, so he needs an employee to help him, and Qu Changlin happens to have this talent: "By the way, do you think it will take a lot of time to transform this scene by yourself? How much?"
"How much?" The transformation must cost money. Qu Changlin was very cautious. He walked around the scene for almost an hour before he hesitated to walk to Chen Ge's side and said, "This scene itself It's a zombie theme, and the internal props and models are very old. I want to replace them all and design them according to my own ideas... "
When he said this, he secretly raised his head and glanced at Chen Ge. Seeing that Chen Ge was not impatient, he continued, "I just figured it out, and the most economical option would cost 3,000 yuan."
After saying this number, Qu Changlin was worried that Chen Ge would refuse, and peeked at him again. After all, he wanted to spend an extra 100 yuan to transform the doll at Nightmare Academy, but his boss did not agree.
"I've prepared 13,000 for you, not enough for me to have here." Chen Ge said casually: "I only have one request for you, do your best to make this scene well."
"Thirteen thousand?!" Qu Changlin nodded again and again.
In fact, Chen Ge also wanted to see what the limits of "ordinary people" are, and what is the difference compared to the scene of black mobile phones.
Qu Changlin quickly got busy in the scene he was in charge of. He devoted himself to work, and his mental state was very different from that of Nightmare Academy.
"He is talented, and he is also the most professional haunted house actor in my haunted house except Xu Wan, but I can't fully trust him yet. If you want to become a member of the haunted house, you have to go through many tests."
Chen Ge didn't go to other places in the afternoon. He listened to Qu Changlin's ideas and designs in the zombie resurrection night scene. At the same time, he also told him some things that were not in the employee code to help him integrate into the haunted house as soon as possible.
After six o'clock in the afternoon, the House of Horrors was closed. After sending the last batch of tourists, Chen Ge did not introduce Qu Changlin to other employees, but asked him to leave work first.
After he left, Chen Ge held a brief meeting and explained some things before letting everyone leave.
He was the only living person left in the House of Horrors. He took the broom to clean the house by himself, turned all the scenes, and finally sat on the steps at the entrance of the haunted house.
It was already dark, and the park was quiet. Chen Ge took out his black mobile phone and looked at the countdown above and fell into contemplation.
"There are still four and a half hours until the end of the mission."
Chen Ge was unwilling to give up like this, but if he did it forcibly, there was little chance of him coming back alive.
He hesitated until after eight o'clock in the evening, when he received a call from Chang Gu.
"Chen Ge, I'm at the Hanjiang Mental Illness Center, come here!"
