Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Haunted House of Horrors
Zhongli's second part-time job came a little faster than expected, and although the first part-time job ended up with a little bit of a problem, at least the process was interesting and an opportunity to gain experience.
On Saturday's part-time job, Jian Zhichun only mentioned it, and didn't say anything specific, probably to be a waiter or a tutor. Zhongli didn't bother to ask, it would seem too troublesome for him, so he didn't know until Saturday morning that their destination was Xinle World. And this day has only been a few days since the last time I went to Xinle World, and it can be regarded as a high frequency for him.
The part-time time is half past nine in the morning, Zhongli didn't sleep well last night, and he had a nasty dream, so he got up very early today, and after washing, he wrapped himself in thick cotton clothes and prepared breakfast in the kitchen.
He steamed a basket of steamed buns, boiled porridge, and made two sandwiches, which were not luxurious, but they were also rich, especially for Jian Zhichun, whose breakfast was just a random solution, there was nothing to be faulted with.
Jian Zhichun praised this porridge, soft and glutinous with a fragrance, Zhongli snorted proudly, and then his eyes fell on the fragrant xiaolongbao, and he stretched out his chopsticks to taste it. Jian Zhichun, who had been eating breakfast seriously, stopped his action, and the chopsticks were against Zhongli's chopsticks, not wanting Zhongli to eat.
"Don't eat it. ”
Zhongli's chopsticks made it good, and he opened it lightly, but fortunately the other party didn't make any effort, otherwise I was afraid that it would be another hard battle.
"Jian Zhichun, is it interesting, I did this anyway, you still won't let me eat it, right? ”
"Do you really want to eat?" Jian Zhichun asked rhetorically.
Zhongli was a little furious by this, and he was even worried that poison had been poisoned in this xiaolongbao, but Jian Zhichun had eaten it all, how could such an outrageous situation happen. As if he was angry, Zhongli, who didn't eat too much, actually finished the remaining xiaolongbao and sandwiches, which made his stomach rise a little, if he wasn't worried about Jian Zhichun's ridicule, he would have to eat two stomach diet tablets right now.
He got into the car with his stomach propped up, and the weather was particularly cold today, so he had to wrap in that big cotton coat if he wanted to save face. It's just that he walked faster, trying his best not to be seen by others, so he was recognized by Aunt Sun downstairs, praised a few words for being presentable, and asked him if he was wearing autumn pants.
Zhongli coped with it indiscriminately, and hurriedly got into the car, and only after about a minute, when the heating had already squeezed the entire space in the car, he breathed a sigh of relief and got the person out of the big cotton clothes.
"How can the president wear autumn pants. He muttered.
Although I have always known that the other party's stinky beauty still needs to save face, it is really biased to characterize all the presidents as not wearing autumn pants, "How can a man who doesn't wear autumn pants be trusted." ”
Zhongli rubbed his hands, "The president just doesn't wear autumn pants, if there is, then he is definitely not in his prime." ”
There was a red street light in front of him, Jian Zhichun stopped the car, hung up the P gear, and asked rhetorically: "You are in your prime, do you want to blow a fresh and comfortable breeze in the morning?"
Zhongli shrunk his neck, thinking that it was better not to refute at this time. It's important to understand your weaknesses and avoid using your weaknesses to match the strengths of others, and he's been working on a number of strategies lately and is planning to try them out.
The weekend amusement park was a little more scary than usual, at least by the time they arrived, there were quite a few people. With Jian Zhichun here, they didn't buy tickets, but walked in directly, and the next thing was to go to the place of work.
Zhongli thought about it and felt that it was okay to check the ticket, it was easy and effortless, but it was a little sunburned, which was easy to affect his appearance. But being a magician also has to have skills, and he is not like a master who lights up this skill, so what else is special about part-time jobs.
The only ones who really suit him are models, but this is an amusement park, not a fashion show, and there is no need to walk the catwalk, and if you don't mind, it's not impossible to wear those doll clothes and hand out flyers.
Zhongli followed Jian Zhichun and turned all the way to the third attraction in the west - the Horror Haunted House.
The outside of the haunted house is a wooden house painted in an old style, and the photos hanging are not as lively as those of the don't play spots, and the top is mainly black and red, which is sure to be startled at first glance. When they get here, it is very clear what their part-time job is, disguised as ghosts to scare tourists to their heart's content, so that they can experience what horror is and what is called a haunted house.
Xinle's haunted house has a good rating on the Internet, although it has only opened for a short time, but the comments below are full of news for everyone not to go, because the horror atmosphere of this house is the haunted house they have experienced that can be ranked at the top.
Zhongli was dizzy when he held his props and costumes, especially the shabby clothes with bone toys in his hands. It opens at half past nine, and there are still ten minutes left, which is also considered a preparation time.
The employees in the haunted house began to allocate areas, so that the range of activities was too large so that some areas were densely packed with ghosts, and some areas were empty, which made people feel uncomfortable. Zhongli and Jian Zhichun were assigned together, responsible for the two areas of the operating room and the boiler room, these two areas are considered key areas, and the seniors who led them specially said that this was specially assigned to Jian Zhichun.
Zhongli was almost speechless, he really couldn't figure out what there was worth talking about this matter, he finally understood what Jian Zhichun meant by asking him not to eat that xiaolongbao in the morning, because he was already feeling uncomfortable in his throat, and his stomach was churning.
Zhongli retched, Jian Zhichun was next to him, and patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay, if it doesn't work, don't be reckless." ”
"You can't say it's okay, but I've never been afraid of this kind of thing. Even at this time, Zhongli couldn't stand someone talking about him like this, and he followed his seniors to walk the terrain once with his eyes half-squinted, lest some mechanisms would not be used, and then he would be embarrassed.
Jian Zhichun concentrated, and suddenly felt a breath of panic, and Jian Zhichun smiled silently.
In order not to be ridiculed by Jian Zhichun, of course Zhongli would not give up this part-time job. There were about five minutes left after walking through the activity area, and he looked for a corner to make a call, but the wind was blowing behind him, and the mask on the wall also followed forward, which startled him fiercely, and immediately his scalp was numb and he was about to scream.
After seeing clearly that it was just a small mechanism, and no one would come out of it, Zhongli patted his chest and kept telling himself that he was bolder and that he must not be embarrassed in front of Jian Zhichun. He made a call to Ji Changfeng, wanting to see if he could find some way to get himself out of this pitiful situation now.
Ji Changfeng had already arrived at the institute at this time, and was eating breakfast in a gazebo at the door, two buns and a bottle of milk, which was extremely bland, but this was also the easiest way, which could save a lot of time for research. He took a sip of milk and answered the phone.
People can burst out with unimaginable potential in dangerous situations, as if at this time, Zhongli only took a minute to explain this, and it was not confusing.
"You're so daring, you even go to a haunted house to work part-time?"
"Don't mention it, at this time, I want to make Jian Zhichun laugh to death, you hurry up and think of a way, so that I don't have to be so embarrassed. ”
Ji Changfeng rubbed his chin with his right hand, his stubble had grown a little, and it felt a little awkward to the touch, but it was not yet the date to shave, he didn't want to ruin the made arrangement because of this, so he could only hold back the discomfort.
This phone call just happened to make him forget about it, Zhongli was afraid of those strange and terrible things, and he would not agree to go to the haunted house at all, so you can imagine how rare this opportunity is. And fear is also an emotion, which will naturally be captured by the emotion sharer, Ji Changfeng was quite curious about the utility of this machine, and wanted to go to the field to see what kind of scene it was.
He didn't tell Zhongli what he was going to do, he simply replied that he would rush over immediately. On the phone, Zhongli thought that Ji Changfeng was worried about him, so he traveled thousands of miles to protect him, and he was excited for a while, and he couldn't help but sigh that the friendship between the two had lasted for a long time.
Zhongli snorted, who felt the warmth in his chest slightly, thinking that he would not be afraid anymore after Ji Changfeng came for a while, but a hand suddenly fell on his shoulder, and he suddenly shuddered, he clearly remembered that there was a wall behind him, and there was no one.
Zhongli silently recited a few words of the socialist scientific outlook on development, and wanted to take the opportunity to leave, but Jian Zhichun's ridicule had already appeared in his ears. He turned his back and could see a small window-like opening on the original wall, revealing a "female ghost" with terrible scars on her face and her clothes covered in scars and blood.
Zhongli was stunned and wanted to move his legs, but he couldn't control his actions, so he could only watch as this "female ghost" approached him with sound effects.
The female ghost said, "President Zhong is so scared that he can't walk?"
Zhongli smiled disdainfully, announcing his response to Jian Zhichun's words at this moment.
"Don't be afraid," Jian Zhichun didn't care, "I originally said that I would take you with me for a while, but it seems that I don't need it." ”
Zhongli suddenly changed color, and said with a smile: "You are too stingy, why can't you make jokes?"
There are also mechanisms on this wall, but Zhongli didn't pay attention to it just now, so he was frightened by Jian Zhichun's simplicity. He changed his clothes very quickly, but he was not satisfied with the decorations on his face, and did not want his handsome face to be stopped by such things.
However, without those outfits, the part of Zhongli's face revealed was really not intimidating, and in desperation, he could only accept a little change. But thinking that he was about to scare those tourists out of his stomach, he thought it was fun, and his mood finally improved.
The operating room and the boiler room are separated by a 20-meter-long corridor, and there are only a few small night vision lights illuminated in the corridor, and the visibility is extremely low.
Zhongli didn't remember these things very well, but they were all under the control of the central control room, and they just had to follow the instructions in the headset and go to the designated place to be intimidating.
His costume is a black ghost costume with bones, which is one of the few not too scary costumes among those props, Jian Zhichun has a lot of complaints about this, only Zhongli has always emphasized that the real scary is not by props, but by the horror that comes from the inside out.
Making up any truth is an area that Zhongli is good at, and even he himself has some belief that this is really the case.
This haunted house has a good rating on major apps, so much so that although tourists who have played it find it scary, many people still come to visit it. Only twenty people can come in at a time, so as to avoid the horror atmosphere caused by too crowding, and ensure that the tourists can have a relatively quiet atmosphere, and at half past nine, the first tourists officially entered today.
There were twenty people in total, all young people in their twenties and thirties on average, and couples accounted for the vast majority, and as soon as they entered the haunted house, a girl let out a scream, which made people frightened. The others hurriedly looked over, and a young man sighed, "I said beauty, but it's just a skull sign, you're afraid to just quit now, so that your little heart can't stand it for a while,"
The girl herself felt embarrassed, stopped her best friend from helping, apologized in a low voice, and said that she would pay attention.
The others didn't pay much attention and continued on their way.
The haunted house has different entrances that lead to different rooms, and if you want to walk through them all, you just have to keep walking to the right, among which the operating room and boiler room are the most popular, after all, the name alone is already very attractive.
The girl and her best friend followed the others to the operating room, and Zhongli, who was in the fast lane of the staff, took a deep breath and said, "You watch, I'll scare them now." ”
Jian Zhichun replied with a good luck sentence, and carefully watched through the electronic monitor where the tourists were now, so that he could go over and prepare in advance. Zhongli had the intention of saving face in front of Jian Zhichun, and he had a scene in his mind that he suddenly appeared from under the table in the operating room, which would definitely scare them half to death.
The operating room is not small, with only a few points of green light, just enough to keep visitors able to see the general direction clearly, so as not to bump or fall, but just right to add a layer of horror filter to the whole scene. There are three operating tables, two of which contain simulated corpses, two filing cabinets, and tables, all stained with red liquid on the walls and floor.
Zhongli had reached the back of the table through the fast lane, he was holding his breath, preparing for his scary work, when a few footsteps came by, and he waited a few seconds before suddenly standing up, settling his teeth and claws, and running towards the tourists.
At the same time, next to the tourists, the filing cabinet was suddenly opened, and a "corpse" covered with many scars all over the body rushed to deal with it, and the timid girl among the tourists was about to shout out. It's just that before her, another male voice suddenly appeared.
The tourists, who had been immersed in the atmosphere of horror, and the ghost who played the corpse looked at each other, and some could not understand what was going on.
Zhongli's posture was exactly the same as that of the "corpse", although this operating room was not small, it could not be separated from the scope of the room, but in a few seconds, they were already about to meet.
This male scream came from Zhongli's mouth, as a "ghost", he was startled by another ghost, so that the girl who wanted to scream was suddenly a little overwhelmed, and began to hesitate, whether she should shout it, but she is not afraid at all now, but if she doesn't shout out, will the staff be upset.
There are always more multiple-choice questions in the world than you can imagine, and even at this time, multiple-choice questions are being made.
The girl's best friend couldn't help laughing, "What should I do, I suddenly can't help but want to laugh, this skeleton man is too cute." ”
The skeleton man in their mouths was naturally Zhongli, and he also reacted in an instant that he was too embarrassed to be like this, obviously pretending to be a ghost, but he was praised for being cute, which was simply looking down on his work ethic. Another man's voice appeared, "What kind of shabby haunted house is this, and there are even staff members who are so scared that they shout out, it's really boring, and sure enough, those evaluations are brushed out." ”
The girl's best friend frowned and looked at the man in the blue down jacket with disgust, "This person came out with his mouth when he went out, and he kept muttering there, and he was annoyed when he listened." ”
"What do you mean by that, who are you talking about? The man began to fight back, and then the other tourists advised them to say less and how to play like this.
In the dark environment, a lonely and lonely "ghost" with a desolate back returned to the employee passage, standing in front of the electronic monitor, thinking about what stupid thing he had just done. However, the decision to come to the haunted house to do a part-time job is stupid in itself, why did he agree to this part-time job, he wants to give up immediately, and if he doesn't give up, he is worried that he will die happily, and then he will really become a "ghost".
I don't know when, Jian Zhichun has already left the employee passage and started a scary journey. She calculated her direction and silently walked towards the group of people who had just left the operating room and were entering the boiler room through the corridor.
Zhong Centrifugal jumped his head, because he now felt a particularly strong emotion suddenly enveloping him, washing away a series of negative emotions such as boredom and self-denial that he had just born.
Until only that emotion remains.
