Chapter 303: Under the Red Clothes (2)
Chen Ge was very engaged, but when he turned to the next page, all that came into his eyes was blank.
"None?" He looked at the date written by the cartoonist on the last page, and then took the notebook next to him.
Taking out the yellowed newspaper, Chen Ge compared the date of the newspaper.
The day after the drawing, the cartoonist had an accident, and the newspaper was supposed to be stuffed into it by the old lady or a few other tenants.
"His dream was stuck on that day."
Sitting on the edge of the bed with a handmade comic booklet, Chen Ge had a new understanding of the few ghosts he encountered tonight.
Each of the five stories tells the past of the five people in room 304, none of whom were bad people during their lifetimes.
Chen Ge's initial guess was that the ghosts in the album affected reality, but after reading the cartoonist's own story, he figured out that the truth was that the ghosts in reality were hiding in his comics.
"I was taken care of by a few ghosts in the rental house, and this uncle is also very powerful." Chen Ge flipped the comics to the fifth story, and he said to the depressed middle-aged uncle: "I know you are unwilling, you want your comics to be seen by more people, so that more people like them, I can help you do all this." ”
The uncle in the album who picked up his legs and shrunk in the corner of the wall, after hearing Chen Ge's words, his ears moved, as if he wanted to turn his head around.
"There's really something wrong with this comic, it should be able to let ghosts pin on it."
The ghosts and remnants under the red clothes can only be preserved for a long time if they are pinned on a certain item, and the back thirty or so pages of the cartoonist's album are all blank, if this thing can make the ghosts and ghosts sustenance, then Chen Ge will no longer have to carry a big bag to run around in the future, and he can even take the twenty-four students of Duyang Middle School out for a walk.
Thinking of this, Chen Ge was a little moved: "Uncle, you and your characters have unfulfilled wishes, it's better to say it, I can help you make up for the regrets in life." ”
In order to increase the persuasiveness, Chen Ge gave many examples, such as publishing all the cartoonists' comics, helping the salesman kill the ghost that brought him bad luck, finding the gambler's lost left hand, visiting the English teacher's family who he hadn't seen for many years, and so on.
Chen Ge moved with affection and reason, and the middle-aged man in the album finally turned his body.
His standard middle-aged frustrated face, with a loveless smile, looked at Chen Ge with a suspicious attitude.
After a few minutes, a few Chinese characters appeared under the comic.
"Please take care of me."
At the same time, the black mobile phone vibrated slightly, and Chen Ge did not shy away from the middle-aged man, and clicked on the prompt message in front of him.
"Lucky Devil Patron! Congratulations on getting the Strongest Ghost Under the Red Coat! ”
"Yan Danian: Rare and special kinds of ghosts."
"Ability 1: Ghost affinity (he looks dejected, it's really unbearable to bully)."
"Ability 2: Painting the soul (after witnessing a ghost, there is a certain probability of dragging it into the painting, except for the red clothes)."
"Capability 3: ???"
After seeing the prompt message on the black phone, Chen Ge's eyes widened.
He really couldn't imagine that the uncle in the comics, who was wearing a white vest, sitting alone in the corner, and was about to overflow from his face when he was unhappy, turned out to be the most powerful ghost under the red clothes!
"It's hidden!"
It was the first time Chen Ge had seen a powerful ghost with three abilities, but the appearance of this powerful ghost was simply a shame for all the powerful ghosts.
Yin Xiaoxiao is also trying to make a very fierce appearance every day, and this uncle has completely given up treatment, and he has no dignity at all, he is very sad, weak, entangled and decadent, and his face is full of unhappiness.
"The third ability hasn't been unlocked yet, and that ability should be the key to the uncle's ability to dominate all the powerful ghosts under the red clothes."
Everyone is an adult, and Chen Ge also understands what the cartoonist means, the other party has not fully trusted him, and it is estimated that the uncle will not officially become an employee of the haunted house until his wish is over.
"Uncle is good at drawing, and his style is a perfect match for haunted houses."
"In addition to him, there are other powerful ghosts in the comic book, buy one get four free, and you can usually let them help clean up and organize props. can be pulled out to be actors at critical moments, and this group of drama spirits is really suitable for being placed in a haunted house. ”
Chen Ge finally showed a smile on his face, and he said from the bottom of his heart: "Brother, I have understood your wishes, and I will help you realize your dreams!" ”
After putting away all the paintings in the house, Chen Ge stuffed the painting tools on the table into his backpack, and then walked out of the cramped bedroom.
"It's time to say goodbye."
He closed the door of room 304 and walked out of the hallway, and as he passed by the trees next to him, a shallow black shadow entered the album, as if it was the old lady who had just escaped.
Taking a taxi back to New Century Paradise, Chen Ge entered the scene of the haunted house Twilight Middle School, he took the picture album and explained the situation to all the dolls, and then left regardless of whether they understood it or not.
"The ghosts in the comic book have no intention of harming people, which can greatly enrich the haunted house and solve the problem of lack of manpower. Yan Danian himself has three abilities, and after he completes his wish and unlocks the strongest ability, maybe he can still bring me a surprise. ”
Back in the staff lounge, Chen Ge logged in to his account on the short video platform again after a few days, and the live broadcast room was still closed, but the attention soared all the way to 510,000.
There are even more private messages in the background, and someone is asking Chen Ge every hour.
"Looks like people still care about me."
The first wave of exposure of the horror house was channelled through short videos, and Chen Ge was not prepared to waste this great publicity channel.
He opened the album, carefully selected, and took a few of the weirdest pictures: "Brother, I am about to show your paintings in front of half a million people, and this is only the first step I will promote for you." Times are different, a few years ago you personally went to the publisher to beg them to publish, and now I will ask them to come to you on their own initiative. ”
Chen Ge is not worried that Yan Danian's paintings will not be liked by anyone, only if he has really seen his paintings can he understand the strange feeling.
It's a style that can't be changed, and the characters in the paintings seem to be what they were when they died.
Chen Ge first filmed a few short videos in the haunted house, strongly announcing his return, and at the same time began to serialize the horror comic - Linglou Ghost Guest in the name of Yan Danian in the platform community.
Soon, Chen Ge's comment area exploded, offline and online publicity linkage, and in just ten minutes, the name of the horror house in the western suburbs of Jiujiang appeared on the platform's popularity list, and began to climb at a terrifying speed.
