After taking the garbage out of the third ward, Chen Ge went to the bathroom to wash his face, and soon got back into intense work.
At 6:30 p.m., the haunted house stopped accepting tourists. Chen Ge asked Xu Wan and Xiao Gu to clean up. He found Uncle Xu himself and asked for the key to the park's truck, preparing to bring the doll back at night.
After taking care of these things, he went underground again and found Dr. Chen.
The two left each other's contact information, and then Chen Ge covered Dr. Chen's eyes with a black cloth, took him out of the haunted house, and took a taxi to the edge of the western suburbs.
Not much time was wasted on the way. Chen Ge returned to New Century Paradise at almost seven o'clock. Xu Wan and Gu Feiyu had already cleaned the entrance of the haunted house.
"Thank you for your hard work, leave the rest to me." Chen Ge took the broom, took out his mobile phone and called Qian Guigan again: "Boss Qian, prepare the materials over there. I may have to work tonight
I stayed up all night in the workshop and made the first batch of dolls."
"Okay, I'll wait for you in the workshop." Boss Qian was very happy. When his shop was about to close down, Chen Ge's appearance gave him hope.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Ge looked back and found that Xu Wan and Xiao Gu had not left: "Do you two have anything else to do?"
"You are the boss. I always feel that you are more tired than the employees. You stay up late or stay up all night every day." Xu Wan, who had unloaded her face, looked a little cute, but she was much more mature than when she first came to work in the haunted house.
"Brother Chen, do you think we can help you in any way?" Xiao Gu also came over: "Anyway, I have nothing to do if I go home so early."
The employee took the initiative to ask for overtime work. Chen Ge was a little touched when he said this. He thought about it and realized that transporting twenty dolls was indeed a big problem, so he did not refuse.
"Okay, come with me. Let's try to get it done before twelve o'clock."
After closing the door of the haunted house, Chen Ge drove into the park's truck and brought Xu Wan and Gu Feiyu to the workshop.
Chen Ge had already completed part of the mold base in the morning. He briefly taught Gu Feiyu and Xu Wan what to do next, and handed over the less technical tasks such as filling and handling to the two of them.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, the first batch of 20 dolls were all ready.
This batch of models uses the best materials and has the same proportions as real people. However, in order to save time, Chen Ge did not put makeup or matching clothes on the models.
Several people worked together to load the doll models into the truck and took them all back to the horror house.
"I will take care of the rest of the process myself. You guys should go home quickly."
Chen Ge looked at the time. After twelve o'clock tonight, the haunted house will undergo its third expansion, and the horror house will be officially upgraded to a trembling maze. He was worried that something might happen and arouse the suspicion of Xu Wan and Xiao Gu.
"Boss, when are you going to move this lot of dolls by yourself?" Xiao Gu looked at the scattered dolls in the corridor of the haunted house. It was really scary to see them at night.
"I'll have to put makeup on them one by one later so they can be put into use tomorrow." Chen Ge thanked the two of them and closed the door to the haunted house.
"How long will it take you to do it alone?" Gu Feiyu wanted to say something else, but unfortunately Chen Ge had already started working: "You worked so hard. Sure enough, no one in this world can succeed casually."
"Stop sighing, see you tomorrow morning." Xu Wan waved her hand and left directly.
Gu Feiyu was the only one left in the paradise. Compared with the hustle and bustle during the day, the paradise at night seemed empty and gloomy.
The image of dolls stacked up and down flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but shudder: "The boss is the boss after all. If it were me, I probably wouldn't be able to stand staying here for one night."
Xiao Gu walked out of New Century Park. It was now 11:30 in the evening, and the buses had already stopped running. The place he rented was in the suburbs, a bit far from New Century Park.
"Do you want to take a taxi back?" Gu Feiyu touched his pocket, feeling a little distressed. He had only received a salary from Chen Ge once in the few months he had been working in the city. He also spent a lot of money on renting a house and being hospitalized. Usually, he spent a lot of money on renting a house and being hospitalized.
I don’t even want to order takeout, I always cook for myself.
"Anyway, there's nothing to do. Let's walk home slowly. It's as far as we can go. If we're tired, we can take a taxi. At least we can save some money." Gu Feiyu put on his headphones and walked along the road towards the suburbs.
The night wind blew in along the sleeves, it was a bit cold, there were few pedestrians, and the street lights on both sides were getting darker and darker.
After walking for about forty minutes, at around 12 o'clock in the morning, Gu Feiyu suddenly heard someone asking him where he was going? Would he like to get in the car?
He took off his headphones, looked around and found no one around.
"Strange? Could it be that the sound came from the headphones?" He put on the headphones and listened to the song again, but there was no other person's voice: "What's going on?"
Gu Feiyu couldn't understand. The lights on both sides of the road seemed to have become darker. There was no one around. He walked forward alone.
The buildings gradually became lower and more desolate. This was obviously the road he usually took home, but it gave him a slightly different feeling.
After walking for another ten minutes, Gu Feiyu came to a fork in the road. On one side was the road he was familiar with going home, but on the other side the road looked a little unfamiliar. He seemed to have never seen that road before.
"Where are you going?" Hearing the voice again, Gu Feiyu took off his earphones. When he looked around, he realized that a bus had driven up behind him.
The body of the car was dilapidated and looked old, and the headlights were not on. There were a few passengers scattered inside, most of whom had their heads lowered and seemed to be playing with their mobile phones.
"It's almost one o'clock in the morning, why are there still buses?" Gu Feiyu felt inexplicably flustered. He retreated to the side of the road. Before he had taken a few steps, his phone suddenly vibrated.
When he clicked on it, Gu Feiyu found that Chen Ge had sent him a red envelope and there was a voice message underneath.
"Xiao Gu, thank you for your hard work. This is overtime pay."
Chen Ge's voice seemed particularly warm in the cold dark night. Xiao Gu received the red envelope and was about to tell Chen Ge about the strange things he had encountered. But before he could get through Chen Ge's phone number, he looked back and found the bus.
The car has already driven far away.
The car entered the road next to him that looked unfamiliar to him.
Standing at the intersection, Gu Feiyu watched the bus leave, the street lights on both sides returned to normal, and his body was no longer so cold.
"That's weird." Gu Feiyu didn't dare to run around alone anymore. He waited at the intersection for a long time and stopped a taxi.
"Where are you going?"
"The apartment building next to Minghua Village." Gu Feiyu was still thinking about the bus. He asked the driver uncertainly: "Brother, did you see a bus passing by when you drove over?"
"No." The driver glanced at Gu Feiyu in the rearview mirror, and he was also muttering: "What's wrong with you young people recently? I picked up a tourist in the eastern suburbs a few days ago, and he was similar to you.
When I got in the car, I asked if I had seen a moving company's truck passing by. The road is so wide, so you couldn't see for yourself if there was any vehicle passing by?"
