Chen Ge asked Lao Wu to reveal his identity to the landlord, and the two entered the rental house to check it.

He was in a hurry, he didn't finish the takeaway on the table, all kinds of clothes were thrown on the sofa, the drawers were not closed, and the room was in a mess, as if he had been a thief.

"Did he tell you where he was going?"

"No, but he's been talking to people on the phone lately, and it seems that he wants someone to take him in for a while, and he's had a few arguments with the people on the phone in the middle." The landlord pointed to the wall: "The old house, the sound insulation is relatively poor, although Shiren usually looks very honest, but he is very scary when he gets angry." ”

"Have you heard the names of important people and places?" Chen Ge's expression was serious.

"They seem to have mentioned a delicatessen called Ten Miles, and the owner seems to have the same surname as Eat." The landlord can provide limited information, and Chen Ge has quietly released Mennan in the process of talking.

While they were chatting, Mennan probably searched the entire room, but found nothing.

Leaving the apartment building, Lao Wu drove Chen Ge to Shilixiang Deli again.

This store is located on Century Avenue, the most prosperous area in Xinhai, and coincidentally, Shangguan Qinghong's haunted house is also near Century Avenue, and the two stores belong to the same business district.

"The Century Avenue business district is brightly lit and popular 24 hours a day, so it's really a good choice to hide here." In a popular place, it is very inconvenient for the ghost to move, even if it is red, it will be affected.

"Angkor, you don't have to worry about me after you send me to the delicatessen, I'm really bothering you today, I'll definitely invite you to dinner when I'm free."

"Are you doing it alone? This is Xinhai, you are not familiar with life, but you don't dare to do anything dangerous by yourself. Lao Wu gave his mobile phone number to Chen Ge: "Call me if you are in trouble, I will try my best to help you find a way." ”

"Thank you."

Lao Wu came with Teacher Wang, he still had a task to do so that he couldn't act with Chen Ge for a long time, but he was able to send Chen Ge to Xinhai, which 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 to get to Chen Ge, he looked at the cooked food in the window, and smelled the fragrant fragrance: "Boss, how does your cooked food feel much more fragrant than other people's?" ”

"My family has a secret sauce handed down from my ancestors, and this taste is unique in the world!" The boss is a big fat man and looks very happy.

"Let's have a little bit of everything, I'm a man who likes meat." When Chen Ge spoke, he had been secretly observing the boss and staff, and he didn't find any problems, this seemed to be a very normal delicatessen.

After paying, Chen Ge left with a large bag of cooked food.

It was already dark, but the streets were still full of traffic, not only did not become deserted, but became more and more lively.

"Shinkai is a big city after all." Chen Ge carried two big bags and the bag of cooked food, and found Shangguan Qinghong's haunted house on the corner of the street, compared to the main road, the flow of people here is indeed much less.

"The last time I came, it was someone else's haunted house."

As soon as Chen Ge entered the haunted house, an employee greeted her warmly, but when she saw Chen Ge's face, she instantly took a few steps back.

"Chen, Chen Ge ......" The female employee was too impressed with Chen Ge, and her boss was hospitalized twice because of this terrifying man in front of her.

"Call me boss in the future, New Century Paradise has already bought you here." Chen Ge took out a certificate from his backpack: "You go and call all the idle employees, I have something to tell you." ”

The rival has become the new boss, and the employees in the hall have ugly faces, and they look at Chen Ge like they are watching the villain in a TV series, forcing the poor people to the end of the mountain and refusing to give up.

"Don't stand stupid, hurry up!" Chen Ge didn't have the idea of bullying these employees, although he was provoked by this haunted house at the beginning, he was a very generous person, and he didn't pay attention to the little things in the past at all.

Ten minutes later, several employees dressed in ghost makeup hurriedly ran 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 here? What about the others? Are you trying to give me a dismount? Chen Ge had the impression that there were at least a dozen employees in this haunted house.

"There are fewer and fewer tourists, salaries are not paid, and rumors of hauntings have made many people choose to leave on their own." The female employee whispered, "Because of the lack of manpower, we are now opening two of the most popular sub-scenes." ”

"With such a good location, there will be fewer and fewer tourists? It seems that Shangguan Qinghong really has to reflect on it. Chen Ge looked at the five remaining employees: "Shangguan Qinghong has sold this place to me, if you are willing to continue to work here, I welcome it, if you are unwilling, I will make up for the salary owed to you by Shangguan Qinghong, let's get together and disperse." ”

Hearing Chen Ge say that he wanted to pay back wages, the remaining five employees were a little moved, and in the end, including the female employees at the front desk, four of them chose to leave.

Chen Ge settled their wages on the spot: "You won't use it tomorrow, I wish you can find a better job." ”

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 don't you leave with them?" Chen Ge looked at the female employee and felt a little familiar.

"I usually live here, and if I leave, I don't even have a place to live."

"You must have saved a lot of money by working 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 younger brother is not in good health, he has to be treated, he has to go to school, and it costs a lot, so I will try to save as much as I can." The female employee whispered, she seemed to be afraid of Chen Ge, but for the sake of salary and where to live, she stood still.

"Having trouble at home?" Chen Ge nodded: "You add me to WeChat first, and I will make up the salary owed by Shangguan Qinghong to you, and you will still work here in the future." ”

"Thank you...... Boss. ”

"Have we met before? I always felt that your appearance was familiar. ”

"My name is Hu Die, everyone calls me Fluttershy, and the last time you visited here, I played a game of pen fairies with you." The female employee whispered back.

"That's you! I almost didn't recognize it when I took off my makeup. Chen Ge remembered the girl when he and Fluttershy played a game of pen fairy, and in the second game, he took out the ballpoint pen with the real pen hidden, and Fluttershy was directly stunned.

In order to prevent embarrassment, Chen Ge changed the topic: "Everyone outside says that our haunted house is really haunted, and you can be regarded as having experienced it yourself, why do you still insist on working here?" Aren't you afraid? ”

"There's nothing in the world that scares me more than being poor." Fluttershy clasps her hands together, and her family situation seems to be bad.

"Don't think about those unhappy things, do it well, I don't dare to guarantee that you will be rich and expensive in the future, but at least there is no problem with doubling your salary." Chen Ge doesn't like to talk empty words and clichés, what he says is generally what he can do.

"The benefits of my employees are much better than your previous ones, you'd better find a place to live first, I'm not driving you away, I found out that there is indeed a problem with your haunted house after the last time I came." Chen Ge stared into Fluttershy's eyes, "It seems that there is something unclean at night, so for your safety, you might as well move out." ”

Fluttershy nods, looking a little pitiful.

"Let's go, take me around the haunted house, I came in a hurry last time, and I haven't seen many scenes yet."

Chen Ge and Fluttershy enter the haunted house, and before they can watch a few scenes, Fluttershy's phone suddenly rings.

Seeing the caller ID, Fluttershy is embarrassed to walk to the side and connect the phone.

"Sister, where are you? Can I stay with you for one night tonight? A boy's voice came from the other side of the phone, with a crying tone in his words.

Fluttershy is embarrassed that Chen Ge has just told her that she can't live here, and she doesn't know how to answer her brother, "Aren't you living on campus?" How did you sneak out? ”

"I really can't live there anymore."

"They're bullying you again?" Fluttershy gets angry.

"Sister, don't ask, I'm at the door of your haunted house now, you can let me stay overnight." The boy pleaded desperately, but Fluttershy looked helplessly at Chen Ge, who nodded in agreement before she could open her mouth.

"No problem, you can let him stay here for one night today, but it's not a long-term solution, you'd better figure out why he doesn't want to live on campus."

"Thank you, boss." Fluttershy hangs up the phone and runs out of the scene with Chen Ge.

Standing in the hall of the haunted house at this time was a thin high school student with very white skin, a narrow skeleton, a wounded face, and a broken glasses in his hand.

"Why did you come here on your own?" Fluttershy sees the high school student and walks over to it, she pulls out a wipe from under the counter and wipes the high school student's clothes and dust on his arm, "I'm going to find a band-aid, don't run around here." ”

After Fluttershy leaves, Chen Ge and the high school students are left in the hall.

"Can you allow boarding students to leave the school at will?" Chen Ge put the two big bags in his hand on the seat and took two glasses of water, he held one for himself, and the other cup was placed in front of the high school student.

The male student didn't pick up the water handed by Chen Ge, he didn't seem to like Chen Ge too much: "Are you colleagues with my sister?" Why are there just the two of you here today? ”

"Can't you?" Chen Ge took a sip of the water in the cup and smiled.

The aura of the two is not at the same level at all, and Fluttershy's brother stands in place, holding his broken glasses, silently not saying a word.

Moments later, Fluttershy runs over with the haunted house's medicine box and gives her brother a brief treatment of his wounds.

Fluttershy asks her brother several times about what happened, but he doesn't say anything until he takes care of his wounds, and then he walks towards the haunted house with his school bag in his handbag, and he seems to know where the haunted house staff break room is, which is not the first time he's taken refuge in a haunted house.

"Hu Yuan! Wait a minute! Fluttershy shouts twice, and the high school student stops.

"I don't want to say anything, can you stop asking!" Hu Yuan's emotions fluctuated greatly, and he was obviously very painful in his heart.

"This is Chen Ge, the new owner of the Nightmare Academy, if you want to live in a haunted house, you must at least get his consent, this is the most basic courtesy." Fluttershy drags Hu Yuan to Chen Ge's side.

"He can live here, but what does hiding here for one night change?" Chen Ge walked up to Hu Yuan: "Fear will not dissipate just because you dodge, you will have to face it sooner or later, it is better to say it, and let me and your sister help you think of a way." ”

Since getting the black phone, Chen Ge has met countless problem children and accumulated extremely rich experience.

Under his continuous guidance, Hu Yuan finally told the truth.

There were four people in their dormitory, and the other three were always in a group to bully him.

Normally he put up with it, but when school was out this afternoon, the three little bastards stuffed him with a letter.

Hu Yuan insisted that he not want to, but the three began to ridicule his sister, and finally Hu Yuan fought with the three people.

Of course, the thin Hu Yuan was no match for the three of them, and after being beaten, he didn't want to go back to the dormitory, so he ran to his sister.

Typical school bullying, Fluttershy is very angry and wants to go to the school teacher tomorrow.

"They want a letter to you?" Chen Ge heard something strange: "Did you ask for that letter at the end?" ”

"Cao Fei gave me the letter, I was going to throw it away, but I hesitated after seeing the content of the letter." Hu Yuan took out a letter from his schoolbag: "Don't read it, I'll find a way to dispose of it." ”

In fact, Chen Ge didn't care about it, but after he saw the envelope, his pupils slowly narrowed, and there was a dark black mark left on the surface of the letter, which was left after the blood dried up: "Why is there human blood on the envelope?" ”

Chen Ge took the letter in his hand, and opened the letter despite Hu Yuan's obstruction, in addition to a few hairs of different lengths, there was also a case list.

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 off one of your hair and put it in an envelope and give this letter to someone else."

"If you hadn't forwarded this letter to anyone else before dark, I would have been at your house at 4:44 a.m."

"If you haven't delivered this letter to anyone else within three days, I'll be in front of you at 4:44 a.m."

"Cursed envelope? So naïve. Chen Ge looked at the hair in the envelope and knew that many people had already touched this envelope.

"You better give me back the letter, I heard Cao Fei say that he really saw something last night." Hu Yuan went to get the envelope, but Chen Ge dodged it.

"The most important task at your age is to study hard, and you don't care about anything else." Chen Ge patted Hu Yuan's shoulder: "The person who handed you this letter is called Cao Fei, right?" ”

"Yes."

"He's living on campus like you?"

"What do you want to do?" Hu Yuan was stunned and looked at his sister, who didn't know what Chen Ge wanted to do.

"I'm going to be at his bedside at 4:44 a.m. tonight." Chen Ge put away the envelope with a smile: "Just kidding, you go inside to rest first." ”

With a relaxed and natural expression, Chen Ge acts as if nothing has happened, and he lets Fluttershy show him around all the scenes before locking himself up in the principal's office.

"The Nightmare Academy is better equipped than the Horror House, and these props alone are worth a lot of money." Chen Ge opened the comic book and asked a few red-clothed boys to carefully search every corner of the haunted house, and only after making sure that there was no danger did he completely put his mind at ease.

"There are two things to do tonight, investigate the deli and figure out the source of the cursed envelope." Chen Ge has seen many case lists, but it is the first time he has seen a blank case list without a name or a photo.

"I'll go to Cao Fei after the early hours of the morning, and I'll definitely find the source of the curse one by one." Chen Ge put his legs on the principal's desk and changed into a comfortable position: "School is a place of learning, and all those who beat students' ideas are not worthy of forgiveness. ”
