Chapter 1: The Haunted House of the Dead
My name is Lin Deshui and I am a haunted house worker.
In fact, many people have misconceptions about the work of haunted houses, thinking that the work of the staff of haunted houses is to pretend to be ghosts and scare guests who come to play, but in fact, they are not.
Many creative haunted houses have long since abandoned this rotten street method, such as the place where I work, in order to make the guests feel the real horror, we write the script first.
And I'm doing this script-writing job.
Although my family still thinks that this is not a serious job, and I may not be unemployed in a while, they have always advised me to find someone and arrange a more stable job.
However, I still think that my life is quite nourishing, I don't have a girlfriend, I don't have to think about getting married, and the whole family is not hungry when I have enough to eat.
Besides, no one is willing to do the work of a haunted house, so the salary is also quite considerable, especially in our haunted house, I heard that seven years ago, there were people who died.
Many people are unlucky and reluctant to come, so we employees and bosses also cherish it very much.
Originally, this little life was quite nourishing, but today, the boss's brain didn't know what the wind was pumping, and he suddenly announced one, breaking this plan for a peaceful life.
Early in the morning, as soon as I arrived at the office, I was stopped by my boss Lao Zhang.
"Deshui, you will notify you later, let all the employees come to a meeting, remember, it's everyone."
This old Zhang man is middle-aged, in his fifties, he is already ugly, and he still has a big bald scoop on his head, and at this time he has a straight face, and the flesh on his chin swayed a few times disobediently.
I couldn't help but smile and nodded, although this old Zhang is not bad to us, but he is too good-looking, a big fart office, I can hear it when I shout, and I have to let me know it as if it was something.
Despite my complaints, I spoke to them all and told them to sit together in what was barely a conference room.
"Ahem, it's all here, okay, then today, I want to announce a big event to you."
Lao Zhang's eyebrows fluttered, at first glance, there was a good thing, this old boy was very slammed, it is estimated that except for money, there is nothing to make him happy.
Seeing that the atmosphere was mobilized, and a few old guys had already cooperated with the expression of anticipation, Lao Zhang cleared his throat and announced something in a tone.
Our haunted house was included in the park's tourism plan.
The haunted house where I work is located in a park that was specially built to develop tourism.
When I came out to travel, most of them were young people, and our haunted house was more stylish and distinctive, so in this park, it was also an excellent performance.
Now, in order to further develop the park, our haunted house has also been included in the project.
After Lao Zhang announced this, all of us showed an indifferent expression, and there was really nothing that could make us interested.
Seeing our reaction, Lao Zhang was also anxious, and patted the table and told us.
"Look at your unenlightened appearance, do you think this has nothing to do with you? Let me tell you, we have been upgraded, so your salary has also risen, this park is ** built, we are zoned in, can we not give some benefits? ”
As soon as it was said that the salary would be raised, our dozen or so people immediately raised their spirits, and Lao Li, who loved money the most, applauded directly, and asked Lao Zhang Mr. Zhang, how much money would you give us?
Lao Zhang grinned and gestured one by one.
"Everyone, one person has more than one thousand, and I will pay you a gold, and in the future, you will also have five insurances and one gold, just steal the fun, one by one!"
Now no one cares about Lao Zhang's cynicism, and they are all happy with their unprovoked extra salary of 1,000 yuan.
The people who can work in this kind of place, except for me and a girl named Liu Ruyi in the same office, who rely on their skills to eat, are middle-aged people who can't do anything and can only come to pretend to be ghosts.
Now that they suddenly have a thousand dollars more in salary, these people must be happy.
I'm also very happy in my heart, after all, no one will think that he makes more money, but looking at Lao Zhang's expression, I always feel that he still has something to say.
Sure enough, Lao Zhang looked at everyone, and his expression suddenly changed.
"But...... Although the salary has risen, the park has added a requirement, and the staff in our park is indeed insufficient, so we also have to work an extra night shift. ”
Hearing the words night shift, these old fritters wilted.
The fat man yelled the most, saying that they had to put on makeup to scare tourists during the day, and they couldn't bear it at night when they were on night duty. Others also hurried to climb the pole.
Lao Zhang also understands this, so he can't stand up to the shelf now, and he is forced to arrange people on night duty.
The fat man saw that his rhythm was up, and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.
"Boss, if you want me to say, this night shift has to be someone who doesn't care about working hours and can't be there during the day."
As he spoke, he looked at me, and suddenly, everyone's eyes fell on me, not to mention, it doesn't matter if I write a script day or night.
Besides, during the day, I only write scripts, and I can't help with other tasks. Looking at it this way, I fit the bill perfectly.
As soon as he saw that there was a solution, Lao Zhang's ugly face immediately smiled like a chrysanthemum, and he came over and patted me on the shoulder cordially.
"Xiaolin, young man, if you have difficulties, you naturally have to go up, besides, you work the same day and night, I look at this matter, it's up to you, in this way, I'm adding 800 yuan to your salary, so that you are also a small salary of 7,000 yuan a month."
Seeing that I didn't react, Lao Zhang then looked at Liu Ruyi, this girl is the same age as me, she is usually a soft girl in the company, as soon as I see Lao Zhang like this, I know that this girl can't hide.
"That, Xiaoyanagi, you can also be transferred to the night shift, you two young people, you can survive, we are all old bones, you are the same, give you an extra 800 yuan in overtime pay."
Liu Ruyi looked at me, then at Lao Zhang, nodded, and didn't say anything.
Actually, I don't care, it's the same day and night, and the salary has increased by 2,000 yuan, this Liu Ruyi also looks very good, accompanied by a girl at night, and overtime pay, why not.
"Okay, then I agreed, it's too cruel to let a girl in the family work the night shift by herself."
"Hey, look, look, look at Xiaolin's consciousness, okay, okay, that's without further ado, tonight, let's start, you two can get off work now."
After Lao Zhang finished speaking, he also gave me a look that he grasped himself, making him look like a matchmaker.
To put it bluntly, this meeting is just for such a thing, and after this matter is over, all that remains is to drink a lot of tea and talk about the mountains.
Liu Ruyi leaned over to me and tugged at my sleeve.
"Brother Lin, I've heard that we've died before, and we're on night shift, no, it's okay......"
Unexpectedly, Liu Ruyi had also heard about it, and now she must be a little scared.
But I didn't feel anything about these weird things, so I casually comforted Liu Ruyi and asked her not to be foolish, we who work in the haunted house, can we still not know this?
People are scary, and they are scared to death!
Liu Ruyi saw that I didn't care, opened her mouth to say something, was stunned for a while, and closed her mouth again.
I smiled at her and went out to smoke, Lao Zhang didn't bother to care about me, waved his hand, that means I just get off work.
lit a cigarette and thought about calling my mother to say that I had raised my salary, but before the phone was dialed, I saw the old Liu Tou who was in charge of cleaning.
The old man saw me, too, but his expression was not very good. The two of us are also forgetful friends, usually smoke a cigarette together, chat, and I am not too big or small with him.
Looking at his expression today, I wondered if he was in a bad mood, or if something happened at home?
"Yo, Uncle Liu, what's wrong with this today, this face is about to be twisted together."
I took the cigarette and went over, and the old Liu Tou glanced at me, grabbed the broom and rushed up to my buttocks.
"Stinky boy, death is dying, and you can still laugh, you, it's a big deal."
Yes? I caught Lao Liu Tou off guard by this sentence and asked him why he said that I was going to be unlucky.
Old Liu Tou sighed and took the cigarette I handed over.
"Boy, that Zhang Youcai, did you let you work the night shift?"
I nodded truthfully, and Old Liu's face immediately became worse.
"Boy, it's not your uncle who scared you, I know what happened back then!"
Old Liu Tou looked around and made sure that there was no one, so he leaned over to me again, and then told me one thing.
Seven years ago, this haunted house had a dead person, and the one who died was the one who was on the night shift.
Is this the thing again? I was stunned, when I first came to the interview, I heard that someone died here seven years ago, which does sound a little scary, but after all, it has been seven years. Besides, whether this is true or not, what does it have to do with me?
Old Liu Tou still looked at me with a look of ignorance, and stomped his feet angrily.
"This stinky boy, why can't he make sense of you! Seven years ago, on the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, seven people died, all of whom were staff of this haunted house, and later heard from the police that the time of death was seven o'clock. ”
All seven? Seven years ago, at seven o'clock on the seventh day of the seventh month, seven people died......
I was a little creepy, and when I wanted to ask something more, Lao Liu Tou had already turned his head and walked away.
I was about to catch up and ask clearly, but Liu Ruyi stopped me, saying that Lao Zhang asked us to go to the office in the park to bring back the reclining chairs, otherwise we would be sleepy at night and would not even have a place to take a nap.
Gotta get to work first. took Liu Ruyi to drive our car to pull goods and ran all the way to the park office.
Sitting in the car, Liu Ruyi looked out the window and suddenly said, tomorrow, it will be Qixi Festival......
