Chapter 759: The Last Four Hours (5000)
Chang Gu's life is a tragedy, but this tragedy will appear entirely because of the psychic ghost school, which took away his sister and indirectly killed his parents.
For Chen Ge, the psychic ghost school is just a task, but for Chang Gu, this school is a cage that traps him all his life.
He wanted to know the secret of the psychic ghost school more than Chen Ge, which was one of the reasons why Chen Ge would choose to cooperate with him.
After listening to Chang Gu's story, Chen Ge still had a trace of doubt in his heart: "But what does what you said have to do with those parents, and why do they target you?" ”
"I didn't know that Chang Wenyu's situation was an example at first, but I secretly investigated through various channels, visited many families who had accidents, asked them what happened to them, tried to find clues, help them, and save myself at the same time. It's a pity that I think of human nature too simply, human beings can abandon human nature for hate, or they can do anything for love, they gradually no longer passively cooperate with my investigation, but want to force everything out of me, they even want to gouge out my left eye. Chang Gu didn't elaborate, but he was sure that it was not a pleasant memory, otherwise he would not have hid in Tibet under the protection of the red-clothed ghost.
"If I still have the strength to find my sister, then I will definitely help them, but the reality is that I am almost completely blind, dragging this half-dead body, I can't protect myself, how can I still care about them?" Chang Gu's voice gradually became louder, and only in this old house in the deep mountains and dense forests did he dare to vent like this.
"You're doing a good job." Chen Ge leaned his back against the door, and he wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Chang Gu.
"Actually, I've been hesitating about one thing, I'm going to make a decision before I'm completely blind in both eyes." Chang Gu faced Chen Ge and opened his eyes, his right eye was full of whites, and his left eye was no different from a normal person's eyes at first glance, but if you look closely, you will find that the place where the eyeball and the eye socket are connected are all fine bloodshots: "I have been hesitating before, but your arrival has strengthened my confidence, and I can't delay it any longer." ”
"What does this have to do with me? Did I irritate you? Chen Ge didn't know where he didn't do a good job: "Don't be impulsive first, the two of us are companions now, if there is anything, you can discuss it." ”
"You can't help me with this."
"How do you know I can't do anything if you don't say it? Even if I can't, I still have a whole bunch of friends and brothers, and you've seen them that night. ”
Referring to what happened that night, Chang Gu's face turned blue, and he thought for a long time before he spoke: "After the eye replacement surgery, my vision in my right eye is getting worse and worse, and I can't see anything in my left eye, and all that comes to me every day is endless pain, and I have been suffering from it. Until one day, I was woken up in my sleep, half-asleep, half-asleep, I vaguely saw a door, in order to see more clearly, I subconsciously closed my left eye, only with my right eye to see. But to my surprise, when I closed my left eye, the hazy door was gone! ”
Chang Gu was a little emotional, and he shouted at Chen Ge, "Do you know what this means? ”
"That door you see with your left eye?"
"That's right! I saw a door with my sister's eyes! When Chang Gu said these words, bruises appeared on his face, and his eyes bulged outward, as if they would fall out at any time, which was very scary.
"What does that door look like? Is it blood-red all over, and there are surging bloodshots on it? When Chang Gu mentioned the word "door", Chen Ge's attention was already highly concentrated, and "door" had a very special meaning to him.
"Blood-red?" Chang Gu shook his head: "The door I saw was just a very ordinary door, but when I came to my senses, the door disappeared." ”
"A very ordinary door? Did you ever see that door again? Chen Ge also didn't know why the door Chang Gu saw was different from the Blood Gate.
"Yes, but every time I see it half-asleep, I've tried to approach it, but once I wake up, the door disappears immediately."
"According to you, even if you can see that door, it's useless."
"That's what I thought at first, but then I realized that the distance between the door and me was getting closer! It's like it's going to suck me in! Chang Gu's voice became very terrifying: "As early as a few months ago, that door had run to my bedside, as long as I woke up from my dream, my left eye would see that door standing next to my bed!" All I need to do is raise my hand to push that door open and get inside! ”
Chang Gu gasped, this should be the deepest secret in his heart: "I don't know where that door leads, let alone what's behind the door, I've been scared, but now I don't want to run away anymore." Since this door is seen with the left eye, it is likely that there is a psychic ghost school behind the door! ”
Chang Gu's words surprised Chen Ge very much, 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 one of them was blood-red.
"Your speculation is very reasonable, but I feel that there may not be a psychic ghost school behind that door, and we have to take a long-term view of this matter." Chen Ge had never been in contact with a four-star scene, and he didn't know what the difference between a four-star scene and a three-star scene was, so he wasn't sure that the door of the four-star scene must be blood-red.
"I'm running out of time." Chang Gu raised his hand and stretched out his left eyelid, he gently rolled his eyelids, and the place where the eye socket and the eyeball were connected had all been necrotic, only connected by black and red blood.
"Well, since you insist on trying, then I won't stop you, I just hope you can grant me a small request." Chen Ge didn't have much time for himself, and there were only more than twenty hours left before the four-star mission.
"What request?"
"When you push the door in tonight, I want to stay next to you to prevent accidents. Don't be too busy saying no, that's 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 he still agreed very happily: "No problem, just tonight!" ”
When Chang Gu agreed, the black mobile phone in Chen Ge's pocket suddenly vibrate, and he turned around and took out his mobile phone and clicked on the new message.
"Lucky Devil Patron! Congratulations on gaining Chang Gu's trust, the third part of the left eye quest is unlocked——??? ”
"Attention! The task is full of uncertainty! 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 not to mention the question mark, and the precautions are specially marked to be full of uncertainty. The most important thing is that it warns me to choose carefully, but it doesn't even list a single 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 stay next to you." Chen Ge called Xu Yin back to the reader, moved a chair and sat at the door.
"I'm sorry for you." Chang Gu lay on the bed and covered it with a towel quilt.
Time passed slowly, and after two hours, Chang Gu still did not fall asleep.
"Maybe I'm too nervous, I don't feel sleepy right now."
Being stared at like this, I can't sleep if anyone comes over.
"Why don't I go down the mountain and get you some sleeping pills?"
"Forget it, it's estimated that it will take more than three hours to go back and forth, and besides, the pharmacies are closed now." As soon as Chang Gu thought that he was going to open the door tonight, he felt no sleepy.
"Maybe it's because there's a stranger there, I'll go outside and keep guard, you relax." Chen Ge opened the door and walked out.
Mosquitoes were flying, Chang Gu tossed and turned, still couldn't sleep, he looked at 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."
Tossed until dawn, Chang Gu still couldn't sleep, he was embarrassed to walk out of the wooden house, and found that Chen Ge had been guarding the door for a night.
"I'm sorry, I don't know why I just can't sleep."
"It's fine." 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 I can only wait for tonight, Chang Gu, you try not to sleep during the day, I will come to you at night." ”
"Okay." Bai asked Chen Ge to 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 Qiumei.
It's not that he wants to take Qiu Mei as a hostage, it's just because he doesn't know the way back.
After walking for forty minutes, Chen Ge walked out of Yongling Mountain, he put Qiumei into a comic book and took a taxi to New Century Paradise.
At half past eight in the morning, Chen Ge returned to the park, and the employees had already arrived, and they were now very enthusiastic about their work.
"Let's go, let's get on makeup first."
Non-stop, after Chen Ge helped all the employees put on makeup, he began to check various scenes again, and was busy until the park opened.
But as soon as he entered the lounge, before he could touch the pillow, he was pulled away by Uncle Xu again.
The park is about to usher in the peak season, and Chen Ge's horror house is the most important publicity point, so Director Luo has a lot to talk to him about.
From the most basic park slogan, to the advertisements on major channels, to the layout of the haunted house in Xinhai City, the two discussed for a long morning.
Sensible 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 particularity of the task of the psychic ghost school, Chen Ge did not directly agree, but said that he would think about it again.
After dinner, the two finally settled on two plans, one best plan and one alternative.
Chen Ge spent a night in the mountains in high tension, and then discussed future planning and publicity plans with Director Luo all morning, and he was now very tired.
He couldn't take care of lunch, Chen Ge just wanted to go back to the staff lounge and get a good night's sleep, but before he could reach 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?" This puppet-making genius at the Nightmare Academy actually appeared at the door of his haunted house.
"After the last time we met, I asked my colleague about your information, and then checked your story on the Internet......" Qu Changlin's expression was very complicated, which made Chen Ge a little apprehensive, and the other party was not so easy to deceive.
"What did your colleague say?"
"In a few months, you have created a miracle to run a haunted house that is about to close down into the haunted house with the highest rating and the most tourists visiting in a single day on the market, you are the best haunted house operator I have ever seen, and I am really happy that my design can be praised by you."
"I'm telling the truth, all your abilities are above the average haunted house actor, and you have an almost natural talent in puppet making, you deserve a better stage to show yourself." Since the other party has come over, Chen Ge naturally will not let him go again.
"Compared with the information searched on the Internet, you are more kind and considerate of people. I remember everything you said to me that day, and you made me regain my self-confidence, I can do better, and I can live better. Qu Changlin didn't regard Chen Ge as an enemy, no matter what aspect he was, Chen Ge was helping him, and anything he said was thinking about him.
"You're not here just to say thank you, are you?" 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 want to learn more things here." Qu Changlin hesitated for a long time, and finally said it.
"There are countless choices that people make in their lives, and you make the right one today that is enough to change your life." Chen Ge took Qu Changlin into the horror room and handed him the employee handbook.
"Do you need to memorize it all?"
"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 it has been idle, because there are enough underground scenes, so Chen Ge didn't care about it.
"From now on, it's up to you to design this scene, you're in charge, and I want to see the limits of your abilities." Chen Ge and Qu Changlin stood at the door of the zombie resurrection night, this scene was much bigger than Qu Changlin's original toilet, and the environment was better than the toilet.
"Don't! I just got here, I don't understand anything, and you dare to give me such a big scene? Boss Chen, I've never been in charge of such a big scene, and this scene is on the first floor! This is the first thing tourists see when they come in, and if you get it badly, it will leave a bad impression on tourists, and it may even smash the sign of your haunted house! Qu Changlin was really panicked, he had thought of countless possibilities when he came, but he never thought of this situation.
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe in your own ability, it's enough for me to believe that you have this ability." Chen Ge patted Qu Changlin's shoulder: "Let it go, this is also a test for you." ”
Chen Ge actually thought very clearly, there were too many secrets in his haunted house, and there were many things that Qu Changlin didn't know yet, so he simply asked him to transform this abandoned scene first.
"What you're best at is making dolls, I have a model studio owner's phone number here, you can contact him directly if you need to, just put my name on it." The scene expanded by the black phone is empty, and he will definitely need a lot of puppet props in the future, and he can't make it alone, so he needs an employee to help him, and Qu Changlin happens to have this talent: "By the way, how much do you think it will cost you to transform this scene?" ”
"How much?" The transformation must cost money, Qu Changlin was very cautious, he turned around the scene for a full hour, and then hesitantly walked to Chen Ge's side, and said: "This scene itself is a zombie theme, and the internal props and models are old and serious, I want to replace them all and ......design them according to my own ideas."
When he said this, he secretly glanced up at Chen Ge, and saw that Chen Ge did not have any impatience before continuing: "I calculated just now, and the most economical one will be three thousand yuan." ”
After saying this number, Qu Changlin was worried that Chen Ge would refuse, so he peeked at the other party again, after all, he wanted to spend an extra hundred yuan to transform the puppet in the Nightmare Academy, and his boss didn't agree.
"I'll prepare 13,000 for you, not enough for me to have here." Chen Ge said casually: "I have only one request for you, do your best to make this scene a good one." ”
"Thirteen thousand?!" Qu Changlin nodded again and again.
In fact, Chen Ge also wants to see what the limits of "ordinary people" are, and what is the difference between them and the scene of black phones.
Qu Changlin quickly got busy in the scene he was responsible for, he devoted himself to his work, and his mental state was very different from that in the Nightmare Academy.
"He is talented, and he is also the most professional haunted house actor in my haunted house except for Xu Wan, but I can't fully believe him yet, if you want to become a member of the horror house completely, you have to go through a lot of tests."
Chen Ge didn't go anywhere else in the afternoon, he listened to Qu Changlin's ideas and design plans in the zombie resurrection night scene, and also told the other party some things that were not in the employee code to help him integrate into the haunted house as soon as possible.
At around six o'clock in the afternoon, the horror house was closed, and after sending the last group of tourists out, Chen Ge did not introduce Qu Changlin to the other employees, but asked him to get off work first.
After he left, Chen Ge simply held a meeting and explained some things, and then let everyone leave.
He was the only living man left in the horror house, and he cleaned up alone with a broom, turning all the scenes, and finally sat down on the steps at the door of the haunted house.
It was already dark, and the paradise was quiet, Chen Ge took out his black mobile phone, looked at the countdown on it and fell into deep thought.
"There are still four and a half hours left until the mission deadline."
Giving up like this, Chen Ge was unwilling, but if he did it forcibly, the probability of coming back alive was not great.
He hesitated until about eight o'clock in the evening, when he received a call from Chang Gu.
"Chen Ge, I'm at Hanjiang Mental Illness Center, come here!"
