"Boss Chen, one hundred mannequins is not a small number; do you mind if I ask why are you creating so many mannequins?"
"This is not our first cooperation, so I'm not going to hide certain things from you . " Chen Ge told Qian Guigen directly, "I'm making dead people mannequins . These one hundred mannequins will be made into cadavers and placed inside the Haunted House . "
Just hearing Chen Ge's voice on the phone made the skin crawl on Boss Qian's back . He shuddered . "Since it is for dead bodies, you can just use normal material, the material for one mannequin is about one hundred RMB . "
"The material needs to be of high quality, as least as good as the previous ones," Chen Ge said firmly .
"Boss, your Haunted House is so dark, and it's for dead bodies . Using good material is going to be a waste!" Qian Guigen did not quite get it .
"You might think I'm making mannequins but I'm actually creating a body that could replace blood and flesh . These mannequins are very important to the Haunted House . " Chen Ge had his own plan . To completely replicate the underground morgue, the real 'paradise' for the dead, he needed many mannequins, and each of them would be filled with lingering spirits of the dead .
"If it's similar to last time, then the material for each mannequin will be around nine hundred, but since you're asking for so much, I can try to help you get some discount . If one mannequin is 800, then it'll cost 80,000 . "
"No problem, please get it settled as fast as possible; I need them soon . "
"My workshop is currently vacated, and I will lend it to you for free as long as you let me stay and watch you work . I can pick up some skills from you . " Boss Qian was conflicted . "The biggest issue is I only have enough material to make twenty mannequins currently . I'll need to leave the city to procure the rest of the material—some of them even came from overseas . You'll need for wait for at least a week . "
"Just make it as fast as possible . By the way, do you have time now? I wish to go to your workshop to complete the base for the twenty mannequins . "
"Now‽ Sure, I'll meet you in half an hour . " After hanging up, Chen Ge took out a new set of clothes from his cupboard and went for a shower . He put on the new clothes and left the Haunted House .
"How come I still smell like formalin after a shower?" Chen Ge did not mind it too much . When he left Qian Guigen's workshop, it was already 9 am .
"The base for the mannequin is ready . Tonight, I can rush the rest . Tomorrow, the mannequins will be ready for use . "
Dropping 20,000 as down payment, Chen Ge left the workshop and returned to New Century Park .
He did not sleep for the whole night, and his body was at its limit . After greeting Uncle Xu, Xu Wan, and Gu Feiyu, he sat in the corridor and started to rest . The Haunted House's framework was starting to come into shape . Each scenario was manned by someone or something, and it saved Chen Ge plenty of trouble . Now, all he needed to do was make sure the visitors signed the disclaimers .
The holidays were coming, and it was obvious that the number of visitors was rising . Other than the younger visitors who were there for the adrenaline, there were also families who came with their children . Chen Ge's Haunted House pushed New Century Park back into the public eyes, and this park that had almost been forgotten by time started to revive .
Director Luo is right . For New Century Park to get back on track, it has to be the contribution of more than just the Haunted House . The other facilities need to be updated as well . Only then will we be able to get the visitors to come and stay .
For the expansion of the Haunted House, Chen Ge could depend on the black phone, but the updating of the old facilities needed a large amount of money . Director Luo would have to deal with that .
With Director Luo around, Chen Ge did not need to get himself concerned with these things; he only needed to be focused on managing his Haunted House . The line in front of the Haunted House was getting longer . The scores of the visitors in the resting hall were changing as well, and the speakers around the place broadcasted the visitors' live screams .
A one-star scenario was no biggie for most visitors, and most of them had started to challenge two-star scenarios . As that number increased, so did the people who wanted to challenge three-star scenarios . There were more pictures and information of the three-star scenario online, but so far, no one had been able to clear it .
Actually, this was not the visitors' fault . Chen Ge had drafted the difficulty based on his own experience . To clear Coffin Village, the term was to find that tattered wedding dress . A lingering spirit was attached to that dress, and leaving with the dress meant leaving with a ghost .
To clear the Third Sick Hall, the visitors had to find a tape dyed with blood . Chen Ge told the visitors that the tape held the biggest secret of the Third Sick Hall . Actually, he did not lie . The biggest secret at the Third Sick Hall was that there were not only Specters here but also a Red Specter .
The morning went by, and no accidents occurred . When it was time for lunch, Chen Ge went to the canteen to purchase two boxed lunch and went into the underground scenario . He entered the Third Sick Hall and walked to the deepest room . The sign on the wall had not been touched, and the recorder was where it had been .
Chen Ge picked the recorder up . The tape inside was slowly turning . Chen Ge glanced at it . After making sure that there was nothing wrong, he picked it up and opened the door .
There was a sick bed in the middle of the room . Doctor Chen was already awake . He looked at the water on the table as if gauging whether it was poisoned or not .
"You're awake? Do you still remember what happened yesterday?" Chen Ge gave the boxed lunch to Doctor Chen . He sat to the side and started eating .
"Chen Ge?" Doctor Chen was quite surprised to see him . "It was you who saved me?"
"What do you think?"
"I can't remember anything . " Doctor Chen rubbed his temples . He picked up the water and took a sip and his throat felt better .
"What is the last thing you can remember?" Chen Ge was more curious about that .
"I followed Jiang Ling and Fan Yu to Coffin Village and got into a fight with Doctor Gao at the village . I was too careless and lost . " Doctor Chen tried his best to think . "I remember being dragged through a door . The madman said that I was his only friend, so he wanted to keep me as a souvenir . That's all I can remember . "
"Hopefully, you're not lying to me . " Chen Ge swallowed the mouthful of rice and looked at Doctor Chen seriously . "Doctor Gao is dead, and the door at the Western Jiujiang Medical University is closed . It was me who saved you at the last moment . "
"I believe you, but…" Doctor Chen was uncertain . "That madman had at least two red specters on him . How did you manage to defeat him?"
