My House of Horrors - Chapter 708

Chapter 708






"Director is trapped inside the movie, huh? This has to be a ghost story . " Chen Ge felt like this fell within his job scope, so he could not just let it be . He raised his head to glance at the clock on the wall; it was already 2:30 am . "Even with a cab, going to Yong Ling Mountain will take half an hour . It's too late now, so I shall wait until tomorrow to pay it a visit .

"There is never enough time . The time limit for School of the Afterlife is almost up, but I don't have an available Red Specter with me at the moment . That can't be allowed to continue . I should visit the crew and, if possible, help the writer finish his wish as soon as possible . Hopefully, that'll persuade the hotline operator to join my Haunted House . "

After everything was prepared, Chen Ge switched his phone off and, for the first time in a long time, slept early that day . At 8:30 am the next morning, Chen Ge was woken up by someone knocking on the window . He peeled open his eyes blurrily and heard Xiao Gu's voice coming from outside the window .

"Boss probably went out last night again . Let's wait at the door . "

"Does boss go out late at night often?" It was Zhang Jingjiu who asked . He was quite curious about Chen Ge .

"I'll put it this way, the social app that we often use has a real-life pedometer, and whenever I arrive in the morning, boss will have logged around ten thousand steps already . " Xiao Gu's tone was calm . "But today it's rather weird . Since last night until now, boss only logged in three thousand plus steps . I wonder if anything happened to him . "

"If boss heard you say that, he would skin you alive . " Xu Wan's voice followed . All the workers seemed to have arrived already .





"I would never physically injure my employees . I'm hurt that you even consider that possibility . " Chen Ge crawled up in bed, pulled the thick curtains back, and opened the window . "At most I would only dock their pay . "

"Boss!" The four stood next to the window—they seemed to have been waiting for a long time already .


"Wait a minute, I'll open the door for you . " Chen Ge glanced at his phone; it was already 8:40 am . He had fallen to sleep so quickly that he forgot to set his alarm . Opening the Haunted House's gate, Chen Ge herded the four employees into the dressing room and helped them with their make-up one by one .

"Since you're all here, I wish to have a simple morning meeting while we do our make-up . " Chen Ge expertly placed the make-up on his employees faces . One would suspect that he was not straight given the ease with which he wielded the many make-up brushes . "Xu Wan and Xiao Gu, you are both senior workers and are looking after the two scenarios aboveground . Our Haunted House is split into different star difficulties, and many visitors won't attempt the more difficult scenarios, so in a way, you have the most important responsibility because you represent the face of the Haunted House and will influence the visitors' first impression of us . "

"Boss, don't worry, leave everything to me and Sister Xu Wan . " Xiao Gu patted his chest and promised . His sunny disposition meant that he could befriend everyone easily . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .

"Scissors and Zhang Jingjiu, you two are responsibility for the underground scenario . I need you to focus on your given task . If there are any accidents with the visitors, inform me immediately . " Chen Ge exchanged a look with Zhang Jingjiu and Scissors . "The underground scenarios are very big, so you two need to improve on your acting . "





"Understood . " Scissors and Zhang Jingjiu had entered Li Wan City with Chen Ge, so they knew what he left unsaid .

"One final thing, I will officially hand over the spare key for the Haunted House to Xu Wan . If there's a situation where I'm not around, just keep the place running with the responsibility that I've given you . " Chen Ge handed the spare key to Xu Wan and looked at the girl in the mirror . "If there's any issue with the scenario aboveground, come and ask Xu Wan . If Xu Wan cannot handle it, find theme park director, Director Luo . Do not go to anyone else, and do not trust anyone . "

Before Xu Wan answered, Chen Ge stood up . "I'll handle the underground scenarios . Now, Scissors and Zhang Jingjiu, come with me, I still have many things to teach you . "

After Chen Ge and the two walked away, Xiao Gu noticed that Xu Wan was still spacing out looking at the mirror . "Sis, it's time to go . The visitors will be arriving soon . "

"Hmm, okay . " Xu Wan held the key in her hand tightly like she was afraid that she might accidentally lose this very important object .

Chen Ge led Zhang Jingjiu and Scissors underground and stopped before one of the rooms at the underground morgue . He knocked on the door, and an old man wearing a white coat came out . He had a head full of white hair, but he had a straight back, like a pine growing on the cliff face .

"This old gentleman is Wei Jiuqin, he is our Haunted House's best doctor . If I'm not around in the Haunted House and you come across a problem that you can't resolve, come and find him, he will help you . " Doctor Wei was the oldest and had the most experience . There was no way to criticize his personality, and he was one of the few people in the Haunted House who could handle a crisis perfectly .





"Why are you suddenly bringing this up?" Doctor Wei felt like something was off .

"It's nothing, just in case . "

"You have to tell me if you have anything worrying you! I am living quite comfortably here, especially given the chance to see my old friends and lecture them as I used to . " Doctor Wei was not one for jokes, but he lightened the mood for Chen Ge's sake .

"Don't worry . " Chen Ge returned to the surface . After the visitors filed into the scenarios, he led Scissors and Zhang Jingjiu for a spin underground and introduced them to most of the ghosts .

Scissors and Zhang Jingjiu's lips were hanging open throughout their 'tour' . There were students, teachers, doctors, patients, and other types of 'people' at this place; it was truly an underground town .

"What you see is merely a part of the underground scenario . This whole place is very huge . My parents used a decade to build this place . " Chen Ge shared more secrets with Scissors and Zhang Jingjiu before sending them back to Li Wan City .

"Only those who I've experienced life and death with am I going to allow to be my employees . They are going to be hard to recruit . " Chen Ge tried his best to cultivate Scissors and Zhang Jingjiu . When they were able to run the place on their own, he would have more time to go and do more things .

Exiting the scenario, Chen Ge was summoned by Uncle Xu when he walked to the Haunted House entrance . "Chen Ge, Director Luo is looking for you . "

"Looking for me?"

"Yes, be careful, there are outsiders in his company," Uncle Xu reminded him in a whisper before turning to his duty . Chen Ge ran to the office building, and as he pushed the door open, the laughter hit him immediately . Director Luo was in the middle of a joyous conversation with a middle-aged man . One would think that they were old friends from the way they seemed to enjoy each other's company .

"Xiao Chen, come and take a seat . " Director Luo was friendly toward Chen Ge . He stood up and walked toward him . When he was facing away from the middle-aged man, he gestured with his hands, but he kept his voice upbeat . "This is CEO Bai . I've introduced you to him before . He has something that he wishes to ask you . "

"CEO Bai?" Chen Ge understood immediately that this was not a friendly visit .

"There's no need to stand on ceremony—we've met each other a few times already after all . This time, I'm here on someone else's behalf, so I shall not talk in circles," CEO Bai said with a smile . "Earlier, people from a Haunted House from Xin Hai came to visit, and all of their employees were scared until they needed medical attention . Their boss is my friend, so he had me come over to ask a question .

"How did you manage to do that, Boss Chen?

"Those are all professional Haunted House actors who have been in the business for at least five years . They are essentially the best that the market has to offer . "

"CEO Bai, are you here because of that?" Chen Ge thought about it before turning to CEO Bai . "Perhaps they are not as good as they say . I personally don't think my Haunted House is that scary . The threshold for horror differs between people . How about you enter my Haunted House and see for yourself, CEO Bai?"
