My House of Horrors

“I've never seen a haunted house like this before. ”

“The props were too fake to go around and not only were they not afraid, they even wanted to laugh a little bit. ”

“The materialists are fearless! ”

“I told you it would be boring to play games in the dormitory, I've already got level 80. ”

In front of the Horror House on the western outskirts of Jiujiang City, several students rode shared bicycles and left without a heart.

Seeing this scene, Chen Song with the haunted house leaflet is a little helpless.

Scarers are a skilled job, but modern people experience a variety of thriller baptisms, with great psychological qualities, entering a haunted house is like being in their own backyard.

“Boss! ”

Behind him came a bright female voice, Chen Song turned his head and saw only one “zombie” in a nurse's uniform, tiny body and arrogant upper circle. He rushed out of the haunted house with anger.

“What's the matter, Wan?” The girl is called Xu Wan and is one of the temporary actors in the haunted house.

“Those little bastards were trying to take advantage of me!” She bit her tiger teeth tightly and clasped her fists.

Turns out it's a confession...

“It's too much, they can't even let the zombies go.” As the boss, Chen Gong will naturally help Xiaowan say: “I'll go to the park administrator to react and adjust the surveillance. ”

“Don't bother. When I detected the other person's intention, I beat him up by preempting.” Xu Wan shook the blood on the corner of the nurse's suit: "This is not makeup. ”

“Well, if there's nothing wrong, girls should learn to protect themselves.” Chen Gong rubbed a cold sweat on his forehead and took a look at the sunset: “That's enough for today. I don't think there are many tourists left. Notify the others and get off work early. ”

When he finished, the girl with the zombie makeup on her face did not move her feet.

“Anything else? ”

“Boss...” Xu Wan stopped talking and swallowed a letter out of his pocket: "This is Tao Ming's letter of resignation and Wei's letter. You treat them well. They are embarrassed to tell you in person, so they asked me to hand it over to you. ”

“They're leaving?” Chen Quo stunned for a moment and accepted the envelope: “People want to leave work early. ”

“Um, I'm going to get rid of the makeup. ”

To see this adorable little “zombie” leave, Chen Gormer lit a cigarette.

Six months ago, his parents mysteriously disappeared, leaving only this horrible house behind.

In order to keep thinking about it, Chen Song quit his job and tried his best to run a haunted house. He wanted to do better.

Unfortunately, times have changed too quickly, and the industry of haunted houses is under a lot of competitive pressure, which itself is quite cold, and there are many limitations.

The same horrible scenario, once seen, becomes boring and requires a lot of money for continuous refurbishment.

Since a few weeks ago, haunted houses have been operating without enough money for a day's tickets or even a dime in utility bills.

“I don't know how long I'll last. ”

Smoke was extinguished, Chen Gong was about to go back to the haunted house, and a middle-aged man in a New Century Paradise work suit came.

When you see him, Chan Gong is like a mouse seeing a cat. Hurry up and step up.

“Pretend you can't see?” The middle-aged man grabbed Chen Gong's shoulder: “Let's get things straight today, you're two months behind on utilities and venue rentals. I'm under a lot of pressure right now. ”

“Uncle Xu, it's not that I'm not giving it away. It's been a bit difficult lately, you give me another month. ”

“That's what you said last month. ”

“I assure you, this is definitely the last month!” Chen Song patted his chest and looked sincere.

“The haunted house business is now depressing, and it doesn't attract tourists. I want you to stop persisting.” The middle-aged man called Uncle Xu looked at Chen Singer's envelope and slowly reduced his hand force: “Why are you so young? Why are you so tired of living? ”

“Uncle Xu, I know you're good for me, but this horror house means something different to me. It's kind of a thought my parents left me.” Chan Sing sounds low and doesn't seem to want more people to hear it.

Chen Quo's parents, the middle-aged man as a park administrator knew clearly, he didn't answer, after a few seconds, sighed and softened his heart: “I can understand how much you think, okay, I'll try to help you for a few more weeks. ”

“Uncle Xie Xu! ”

“Don't thank me, you better sell more tickets to the haunted house with snacks. ”

Send the park administrator away, Chen Gong went straight back to the haunted house, started repeating daily work, checking equipment wear, maintaining props, and cleaning.

“The artificial plasma in the repair room is running out and we need to buy another batch; this tunnel leans inward and may better jam the tourist's viewpoint blind spot; the doll makes it snap and make it up to you; wipe! Where are my craft lights? Stolen by who? ”

In the eyes of outsiders, he is the owner of a horrible house. He is also a self-starter. In fact, he is the only one who knows the pain behind this.

Haunted houses are a kind of "horrible” consumption, where people are highly muscular and spiritual strained in a horrible environment, and once released, like a massage, this way creates a sense of satisfaction in a short period of time.

At the same time, haunted houses are a one-off consumption, and many haunted houses on the market are constantly attracting new visitors by moving around the cities. Fixing a haunted house somewhere like Chan Gong won't last long unless it has a special reputation and attraction.

It's not easy for him to stand alone for so long.

Dragging the captured figure, Chen Song entered the repair room. He studied toy design and manufacturing at university. Many of the figures and institutions in the haunted house were designed by himself.

The patching process is complex and monotonous, requiring the doll's skin to be stitched, repainted and worn out.

“Nearly plasma, I remember there was stock in the attic.” The haunted house is divided into three floors, one or two for terror scenes, and the third floor for groceries.

Pushing through dusty wooden doors, the attic was filled with all kinds of obsolete equipment, most of which his parents left behind when they ran the haunted house.

Chen Song rarely comes here because he sees things.

“It's been half a year. ”

Looking at familiar equipment, Chen Gong remembered his childhood.

At that time, they also operated mobile haunted houses. Parents ran around with his cities. Sometimes two small couples were busy, and threw Chen Song alone behind the scenes, accompanied by all kinds of ghost props, and cultivated them since childhood. This also led to Chen Song's boldness.

After all, he had started running around with the head model when he was playing with letters puzzles for his peers.

“It's all memories. ”

Unconsciously, Chen Song walked up to the crate where his parents' relics were stored, with a rough puppet and a dark phone.

The puppet was Chen Gong's first toy when he was a kid, and he had no impression of the phone.

These two things were found by the police in an abandoned hospital in the suburbs, and nobody knows why Chen Gong's parents went there late at night.

“It's been so long. Where the hell are you?” Chen Song picked up the puppet, pinched its face and sighed softly: “I'd better find artificial plasma. If I can't survive this off-season, the Horror House may really be shutting down and transferring. ”

Chen Gong was just talking to himself, but when he spoke of a shutdown transfer, there was no moving black phone in the crate, and suddenly the screen flashed and a faint cold light appeared.

“What's going on? Black technology, psychic phenomenon? ”

If someone else changes his heart beats faster, he looks around, his palms sweat, the response to Chan Song is relatively straightforward, he picks up his phone, puts it in front of him, and starts making a second confirmation.

“I haven't tried this phone a hundred times before. Why did it suddenly start itself today? I found this from where my parents disappeared. Do they know I'm having a hard time right now, so they're actively contacting me? ”

Press and hold the excitement in your heart, Chen Gong slides the screen, there is only one app on the desktop of your dark phone, and it is using the haunted house as an icon.

“Not quite what I imagined, but this icon is a bit familiar, as if it were my own horrible house door! ”

Chen Gong frowned and opened the app, and a line of blood appeared on the screen —— do you believe in ghosts in this world?

With or without ghosts in the world, this is a surrealist philosophy problem, and for an engineer like Chen Gong, the difficulty coefficient is high.

“I suppose so...”

Chen Song made his choice, and after a few seconds, a new handwriting appeared on the phone screen.

“What you think is the answer. From this moment on, you will officially succeed me as the new owner of the House of Terror. Of course, this is not something to celebrate. At the end of the beginner's tutorial, I would like to give you a word of advice. Suicide is the most cowardly behavior. Please try to survive! ”

“It's a bit informative! But how does he sound like my father? ”

Chen Gong clicked on the Haunted House app again, and a new interface emerged:
