Chen Ge asked Lao Wu to reveal his identity to the landlord, and the two of them entered the rental house and checked it out.
Chiren left in a hurry. He didn't even finish the takeaways on the table. There were all kinds of clothes thrown on the sofa and the drawers were not closed. The room was in a mess, as if it had been robbed.
"Did Chiren tell you where he is going?"
"No, but he has been talking to people on the phone recently. It seems that he wants others to take him in for a while. In the meantime, he has had a few big arguments with the people on the phone." The landlord pointed to the wall: "The sound insulation of the old house is relatively poor.
"Although Chiren looks very honest at ordinary times, he is very scary when he is angry."
"Then have you heard the more important names of people and places?" Chen Ge looked serious.
"They seem to have mentioned a delicatessen called Shilixiang, and the owner seems to have a surname of Chi." The information the landlord could provide was limited, and Chen Ge had quietly let Men Nan out during the conversation.
While they were chatting, Men Nan roughly searched the entire room, but found nothing.
After leaving the apartment building, Lao Wu drove Chen Ge to Shilixiang Delicatessen.
This store is located on Century Avenue, the most prosperous area in Xinhai. Coincidentally, Shangguan Qinghong’s haunted house is also near Century Avenue. The two stores belong to the same business district.
"The Century Avenue business district is brightly lit 24 hours a day and is very popular. It is really a good choice to hide here." In a popular place, it is very inconvenient for ghosts to move, and even people in red will be affected.
"Brother Angkor, you don't have to worry about me after you send me to the delicatessen. I'm really troubling you today. I will treat you to dinner when you are free."
"Can you do it alone? This is Xinhai. You are unfamiliar with the place. You don't dare to do dangerous things by yourself." Old Wu gave Chen Ge his mobile phone number: "If you encounter trouble, just call me.
I will try my best to help you find a solution."
"Thank you."
Lao Wu came with Teacher Wang. He still had a mission and could not act with Chen Ge for a long time. However, he was able to send Chen Ge to Xinhai, which made Chen Ge very grateful.
Carrying two large bags, Chen Ge went straight to Shilixiang Delicatessen.
The store is not big, but there are many customers, and there is a long queue at the door.
"Business is booming."
It took a full fifteen minutes before Chen Ge arrived in line. He looked at the various cooked foods in the display window and smelled the tangy aroma: "Boss, why does your cooked food smell so much better than other people's?"
"My family has a secret sauce passed down from our ancestors. The taste is unique in the world!" The boss is a fat man, and he looks very happy.
"Have a little of everything. I like eating meat very much." While Chen Ge was speaking, he had been secretly observing the boss and staff and found no problems. This seemed to be a normal deli.
After paying, Chen Ge left with a large bag of cooked food.
It was already dark, but the streets were still busy with traffic. Not only did they not become deserted, but they became increasingly lively.
"Xinhai is a big city after all." Chen Ge carried two large bags and the bag of cooked food and found Shangguan Qinghong's haunted house at the corner of the street. Compared to the main road, the flow of people here was indeed much less.
"The last time I came here, this was someone else's haunted house."
As soon as Chen Ge entered the haunted house, an employee greeted him enthusiastically, but when she saw Chen Ge's face, she took a few steps back.
"Chen, Chen Ge..." The female employee was so impressed by Chen Ge that her boss was hospitalized twice because of this terrifying man in front of her.
"You have to call me boss from now on. New Century Park has bought your place." Chen Ge took out a certificate from his backpack: "Go and call all the idle employees over. I have something to tell you."
The sworn enemy has become the new boss, and all the employees in the lobby have ugly expressions. They look at Chen Ge as if they were watching the villain in a TV series, who would not give up even if he pushed the poor to the edge.
"Don't stand there stupidly, go quickly!" Chen Ge had no intention of bullying these employees. Although it was the haunted house that provoked him first, he was a very generous person, and he never let go of the little things in the past.
In the heart.
Ten minutes later, several employees wearing ghostly makeup hurriedly ran out of the scene. Counting the cashier and the handyman responsible for water and electricity logistics, there were a total of five employees standing in the hall.
"Why are you the only ones here? Where are the others? Do you want to give me a kick?" Chen Ge had the impression that there were at least a dozen employees in this haunted house.
"There are fewer and fewer tourists, wages cannot be paid, and there are rumors of hauntings, so many people choose to leave." The female employee whispered: "Because of the lack of manpower, we will now open the two most popular sub-scenarios.
."
"Occupying such a good location, there are fewer and fewer tourists? It seems that Shangguan Qinghong really needs to reflect on it." Chen Ge looked at the five remaining employees: "Shangguan Qinghong has sold this place to
I welcome you if you are willing to continue working here. If you are not willing, I will make up for the wages Shangguan Qinghong owes you so that we can get together and have a good time."
Hearing Chen Ge said that he wanted to pay back wages, the remaining five employees were a little moved. In the end, four of them, including the female staff at the front desk, chose to resign.
Chen Ge paid their wages on the spot: "You won't come tomorrow. I hope you can find a better job."
After the handover, the four employees took off their makeup and left, leaving only Chen Ge and one female employee in the huge haunted house.
"Why don't you resign with them?" Chen Ge looked at the female employee and felt that she looked familiar.
"I usually live here. If I leave, I won't even have a place to live."
"You must have saved a lot of money after working so long, right? How come you don't even have a place to rent?" When Chen Ge said this, he forgot that he also lived in a haunted house every day.
"My brother is not in good health. He needs medical treatment and goes to school. It costs a lot. If I can save it, I will try to save as much as possible." The female employee said in a low voice. She seemed to be afraid of Chen Ge, but for the sake of salary and housing,
She stood there bravely.
"Is there any difficulty at home?" Chen Ge nodded: "You add me on WeChat first, and I will replenish the salary Shangguan Qinghong owes you. You can stay and work here from now on."
"thank you boss."
"Have we met before? I always feel that your appearance is very familiar."
"My name is Hu Die, everyone calls me Xiaodie. When you visited here last time, I played the Pen Fairy Game with you." The female employee whispered back.
"It's you! I almost didn't recognize it after taking off my makeup." Chen Ge thought of this girl. At that time, he and Xiaodie played the Brush Game. In the second game, he took out the ballpoint pen with the real Brush hidden inside.
When I took it out, Xiaodie was immediately frightened and fainted.
In order to avoid embarrassment, Chen Ge changed the subject: "People outside say that our haunted house is really haunted. You have experienced it yourself. Why do you still insist on working here? Aren't you scared?"
"There is nothing in the world that scares me more than poverty." Xiaodie clasped her hands together. Her family environment seemed to be very bad.
"Don't think about those unhappy things and work hard. I can't guarantee that you will be rich in the future, but at least doubling your salary will be no problem." Chen Ge doesn't like to talk empty words and clichés. He usually talks about himself.
It can be done.
"The employee benefits here are much better than yours before. You'd better find a place to live first. I'm not driving you away. After I was here last time, I found that there is indeed something wrong with your haunted house." Chen
Ge stared into Xiaodie's eyes: "There seems to be something unclean at night. For your safety, you'd better move out."
Xiaodie nodded, looking a little pitiful.
"Come on, take me around the haunted house. I was in a hurry last time and I haven't seen many scenes yet."
Chen Ge and Xiaodie entered the haunted house. Before watching a few scenes, Xiaodie's cell phone suddenly rang.
Seeing the caller ID, Xiaodie walked to the side embarrassedly and answered the call.
"Sister, where are you? Can I stay with you tonight?" A boy's voice came from the phone, with a cry in his words.
Xiaodie was very embarrassed. Chen Ge had just told her that she couldn't live here, and she didn't know how to answer her brother: "Don't you live on campus? Why did you sneak out?"
"I really can't live there anymore."
"Are they bullying you again?" Xiaodie was a little angry.
"Sister, don't ask. I'm at the door of your haunted house now. Just let me stay here all night." The boy begged desperately. Xiaodie looked at Chen Ge helplessly. She opened her mouth and didn't speak, but Chen Ge nodded.
agreed.
"No problem, you can let him stay here for one night today, but this is not a long-term solution. You'd better find out why he doesn't want to live on campus."
"Thank you, boss." Xiaodie hung up the phone and ran out of the scene with Chen Ge.
Standing in the lobby of the haunted house was a thin high school student with very fair skin. He had a narrow frame, wounds on his face, and a pair of broken glasses in his hand.
"Why did you come here by yourself?" Xiaodie saw the high school student and walked over quickly. She took out wet wipes from under the counter and helped the high school student wipe the dust on his clothes and arms: "I'm going to find a band-aid. Are you there?"
Don’t run around here.”
After Xiaodie left, Chen Ge and the high school student were the only two people left in the hall.
"Can your school allow boarding students to leave school at will at night?" Chen Ge put the two large bags in his hands on the seat and took two glasses of water. He took one cup himself and placed the other cup in front of the high school students.
The male student didn't take the water Chen Ge handed over. He didn't seem to like Chen Ge too much: "Are you a colleague of my sister? Why are you two here today?"
"Isn't it possible?" Chen Ge took a sip of water from the cup and smiled.
The auras of the two were not at the same level at all. Brother Xiaodie stood there, holding the broken glasses, silently without saying a word.
After a while, Xiaodie ran over with the medicine box from the haunted house and briefly treated her brother's wound.
In the middle, Xiaodie asked her brother many times what happened, but her brother refused to tell her. After the wound was treated, her brother walked towards the haunted house with his schoolbag. He seemed to know where the staff lounge of the haunted house was. This shouldn't be the case.
He took refuge in a haunted house for the first time.
"Hu Yuan! Wait!" Xiaodie shouted twice before the high school student stopped.
"I don't want to say anything, can you stop asking?" Hu Yuan's emotions fluctuated greatly, and he was obviously in great pain.
"This is Chen Ge, the new boss of Nightmare Academy. If you want to live in the haunted house, you must at least get his consent. This is the most basic courtesy." Xiaodie dragged Hu Yuan to Chen Ge.
"He can live here, but hiding here for one night will change anything?" Chen Ge walked up to Hu Yuan: "Fear will not dissipate just because you avoid it. You will have to face it sooner or later. Why don't you say it and let me
Your sister and you will help you think of a solution."
Since receiving the black mobile phone, Chen Ge has encountered countless problem children and accumulated extremely rich experience.
Under his constant guidance, Hu Yuan finally told the truth.
There are four people in their dormitory, and the other three always work together to bully him.
Usually he tolerated it, but this afternoon when school was over, those three little bastards thrust a letter into him.
Hu Yuan insisted not to do it, but the three people started to tease his sister, and finally Hu Yuan started fighting with the three people.
The thin Hu Yuan was certainly no match for those three people. After being beaten, he didn't want to go back to the dormitory, so he ran to his sister.
It was a typical case of school bullying. Xiaodie was very angry and wanted to go see the school teacher tomorrow.
"They want to give you a letter?" Chen Ge heard something strange: "Did you finally ask for that letter?"
"Cao Fei handed me the letter. I was ready to throw it away, but I hesitated after seeing the content on the letter." Hu Yuan took out a letter from his schoolbag: "You better not read it, I
Find a way to deal with it."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In fact, Chen Ge didn't care at first, but after he saw the envelope, his pupils slowly narrowed. There was a dark black mark remaining on the surface of the letter, which was
What’s left after the blood dries up: “Why is there blood on the envelope?”
Chen Ge took the letter in his hand and opened it regardless of Hu Yuan's obstruction. In addition to a few hairs of different lengths, there was also a medical case sheet inside.
The patient's name was not written on the list, but a few words were written on the back with a red ballpoint pen.
"Please cut off a piece of your hair and put it in the envelope, and then give this letter to someone else."
"If you don't pass this letter to someone else before dark, I will show up at your home at four forty-four in the morning."
"If you still haven't handed this letter to anyone else within three days, I will appear in front of you at 4:44 in the morning."
"Curse the envelope? How childish." Chen Ge looked at the hair in the envelope and knew that many people had touched this envelope.
"You'd better return the letter to me. I heard Cao Fei say that he seemed to have really seen something last night." Hu Yuan went to get the envelope, but Chen Ge got out of the way.
"The most important task for you at this age is to study hard, and don't worry about other things." Chen Ge patted Hu Yuan on the shoulder: "The person who gave you this letter is called Cao Fei, right?
"
"kindness."
"He lives on campus like you?"
"What do you want to do?" Hu Yuan was confused and looked at his sister. Xiaodie didn't know what Chen Ge wanted to do.
"I'm going to show up at his bedside at 4:44 in the morning tonight." Chen Ge put away the envelope with a smile: "Just kidding, you can go inside and rest first."
With a relaxed and natural expression, Chen Ge acted as if nothing had happened. He let Xiaodie take him to visit all the scenes, and then locked himself in the principal's office.
"The configuration of the Nightmare Academy is better than that of the Horror House. These props alone are worth a lot of money." Chen Ge opened the comic book and asked several men in red to carefully search every corner of the haunted house. After confirming that there was no danger,
He was completely relieved.
"There are two things we have to do tonight, investigate the deli, and find out the origin of the cursed envelope." Chen Ge has seen many medical records, but this is the first time he has seen a blank medical record without names or photos.
.
"I'll go find Cao Fei after early morning. I'll search up one by one. I'll definitely find the source of the curse." Chen Ge put his legs on the principal's desk and changed into a comfortable position: "School is a place for learning.
"Anyone who takes advantage of students is unworthy of forgiveness."
