Chapter 24: Even more terrifying than Chen Ge!
"How come all four of them fainted?"
Zhang Ze was seen pushing Lin Xiaomei, Zhao Haiyang, Hu Xin, and Dong Xing in a stroller that was the same model as Chen Ge's. He placed the four of them next to the unconscious student from Hanjiang Forensic Medical College.
The medical staff quickly checked the condition of these people and found that they had just fainted, which relieved them slightly.
Looking at the "victims" all over the ground, Uncle Xu was completely numb.
You two run a haunted house and you manage to make people dizzy right away? That's way too much!
Let's leave Chen Ge aside, after all, it's a well-known, long-established haunted house. The haunted house has been running since Chen Ge's parents' generation, so it can at least be explained by its rich history.
Zhang Zecai scared the person to death when he started the first scene.
Look at Lin Xiaomei and the others, foaming at the mouth and twitching in their limbs, they're in even worse shape than the forensic students.
Uncle Xu was completely baffled.
The onlookers were all talking at once.
"That's terrifying! This is a mystery investigation studio! They've personally reported on many dismemberment cases and family annihilation cases, and even interviewed the murderers themselves. How could they be this scared?"
"That's right. Forensic students are still students, no matter how brave they are. Mystery Tracking Studio is a studio that specializes in criminal investigation cases and horror stories, yet they can be scared to death."
"Those two haunted house owners are like a pair of smiling tigers, two black sharks!"
After handing Lin Xiaomei over to Uncle Xu, Zhang Ze looked up at Chen Ge, just as Chen Ge noticed Zhang Ze, and their eyes met.
Zhang Ze clearly noticed that Chen Ge's brows furrowed slightly.
In fact, Chen Ge did sense a vague sense of crisis.
He thought that unlocking the midnight escape scene, moving the Peace Apartment into the haunted house, and personally playing the skull-crushing doctor would be enough to make the haunted house famous.
Why did Cheng Yaojin suddenly appear out of nowhere?
If a haunted house can scare tourists to the point of fainting, then that haunted house is scary enough.
However, if there are two haunted houses that can scare people to death, and one of them has a higher ticket price than the other, many tourists would actually prefer to visit the haunted house with the higher ticket price.
This has an economic basis. When it comes to entertainment and cultural consumption like haunted houses, tourists tend to choose the more expensive ones, subconsciously believing that the services offered are more satisfactory.
"Midnight Escape is a 1-star scream factor scenario, how did this guy manage to make it even scarier than Midnight Escape?"
My gaze fell on the promotional board posted at the entrance of Zhang Ze's haunted house.
Crow's nest.
"A gifted artist had her hands chopped off by her own parents. She completed her last painting with her own blood, which her parents then used to speculate and sell at exorbitant prices. Strangely, every buyer died shortly afterward. Some say that this painting connects to another world..."
This introduction...
Chen Ge's furrowed brows relaxed.
He understood why Zhang Ze's first scene was even scarier than his haunted house.
Although Ping An Apartment is the site of a real family annihilation case and has a scream factor of 1 star, it is ultimately just a fear on a real level and lacks some kind of supernatural intervention.
Zhang Ze's first scene involved elements of ghost stories, introducing the concept of "ghosts," which naturally made it easier to create a terrifying atmosphere.
but……
Having gone through the nightmare mission and the doll he saw at the Peace Apartment, Chen Ge knew that ghosts really existed in the world.
Does this haunted house owner named Zhang Ze really know what he's facing?
You should know that dealing with ghosts, using real and vengeful spirits to build a haunted house, is likely like asking a tiger for its skin, attracting something even more dangerous.
"Hey, Boss Chen, looks like you've opened for business too!"
"Scaring the students is a bit too much of a bullying thing. Come and experience my haunted house. We can learn from each other and improve together by exchanging ideas."
Zhang Ze gave a somewhat provocative smile.
Xu Wan clenched her small fists immediately. "Damn it! The boss is too arrogant, he actually looks down on our haunted house!"
Chen Ge pulled Xu Wan back, his tone still calm, "Don't worry, we've only just started the first scene. On one hand, our ticket prices are lower, and on the other hand, we can accommodate more visitors at the same time than him."
"I will open up more scenes in the future, so that tourists will not have the illusion that he is a high-end tour and we are a budget tour."
"During this period, as long as we operate our haunted house steadily and win over the competition with quality!"
Xu Wan nodded seriously.
Chen Ge and Xu Wan appear to be talking.
Zhang Ze couldn't hide the upward curve of his lips.
In a sense, the opponent the system chose for him was actually quite suitable. After all, Boss Chen was a very ethical haunted house owner who wouldn't resort to underhanded tricks.
As long as Zhang Ze is even more reckless and suicidal than Chen Ge.
His haunted house will be even more terrifying than Chen Ge's.
"Let's take them to the hospital first. So many people have fainted at once. If something happens to them, it will be bad if word gets out!" Uncle Xu continued to call for help.
Zhang Ze returned to the haunted house.
He received a system notification that his second daily task was completed, and his haunted house scream index had surpassed Chen Ge's haunted house.
But this is only temporary. Chen Ge will look for even more terrifying scenes later, such as Muyang Middle School, the Third Ward, the underground morgue... Zhang Ze must be prepared with countermeasures.
There is no time to rest.
"Hehe, boss, how was my acting?"
"I almost died once for the sake of the show, it hurt so much, you'd better pay me more."
Li Yang leaned closer and said with a smug look on his face.
Zhang Ze rolled his eyes at the guy. "Say what you want, and I'll buy it for you."
"Give me two packs of Yuxi cigarettes, a serving of braised pork trotters with rice, and some toothpaste, toothbrush, towel, and stuff. This place is filthy all day long, you have no idea how uncomfortable it is."
"Okay, I'll buy it for you tonight."
……
the next day.
News of the haunted house at New Century Amusement Park was published in various publications and quickly became a hot topic of discussion among the residents of Hanjiang City. People talked about the haunted house with great interest on the streets and in their leisure time.
Did it scare a forensic medicine student to the point of fainting?
Did the mystery tracking team of reporters faint from fright?
Any one of them could be a huge news story.
In particular, Zhang Ze and Chen Ge's previous online live streams had garnered them a large following, coupled with police reports that the murder case at Ping An Apartment had been solved.
A series of heated discussions ensued.
That night.
The forensic students who had fainted from fright gradually regained consciousness.
Online, people vividly described how terrifying the haunted house was.
As for Lin Xiaomei, Zhao Haiyang, and others from the Mystery Tracking Studio...
The first thing I did upon waking up was to say...
"The haunted house is haunted!!"
Upon hearing this, countless news outlets, like Hakimi smelling fish, rushed to report it.
Zhang Ze's haunted house has become even more popular than Chen Ge's haunted house.
Overall, the two super-terrifying haunted houses at New Century Park have gained notoriety, attracting many horror enthusiasts and haunted house reviewers to join the discussion, making it a minor online hot topic.
