Chen Ge's words hit the softest part of Qu Changlin's heart, and a seed took root and sprouted in his heart.
The stranger's encouragement was in sharp contrast to the text messages from his boss. The bitterness deep in his heart for many years finally burst out, and Qu Changlin had an idea: "It's time to change."
As soon as this thought appeared, it spread uncontrollably in his mind. He clenched his fists hard, but after a while, he slowly calmed down.
Life is not chicken soup. The prerequisite for realizing your dreams is to survive.
Qu Changlin was a marginal employee at Nightmare Academy. He was placed in a toilet with the strongest smell that no one wanted to go to. He had trouble with interpersonal relationships and had no confidence in himself.
Thinking of this, he sighed softly: "I also want to change, but changing requires courage and strength, which I don't have..."
"You are just too unconfident. In my opinion, you have countless shining points, but you have not yet met someone who can appreciate you. The scene you were responsible for was so terrifying, and the puppets in the scene were so scary.
You can endure the pungent smell and control everything in the toilet. In my opinion, you have all the excellent qualities of a haunted house employee." Chen Ge slowed down slightly: "I heard that there is a haunted house in the western suburbs of Jiujiang that has developed particularly well.
Yes, it has the highest praise rate online. If you really want to change, you can go there and give it a try. Since you have decided to change, luckily you will go to the best one. No matter what the final result is, at least you have tried your best."
Qu Changlin took note of Chen Ge's words and nodded slowly. In fact, he also had a hint of doubt, but he soon felt relieved.
After all, it was the first time for him to see such an inspiring and positive visitor visiting a haunted house, so he would inevitably be uncomfortable with it.
At Qu Changlin's prompt, Chen Ge carried him to the door of the dean's office: "The dean's office is here, what next?"
"Just leave me here." Qu Changlin covered his phone. He looked at the text messages sent by his boss and felt a little sorry for Chen Ge.
The other person enlightened me and helped me plan my life, but I wanted to scare him with malicious intentions. It was really too much.
"Be careful. By the way, leave a phone number. If you encounter any difficulties, you can call me." Chen Ge was very enthusiastic, and his words made Qu Changlin even more uncomfortable.
"Okay." Just outside the dean's office, standing under the surveillance camera, the two exchanged phone numbers.
"I've finished the plot. I'm going to explore other scenes. I'll see you later." With a smile, Chen Ge took out the diary from his backpack and faced the next scene.
Looking at Chen Ge's back, Qu Changlin didn't know what to say. He felt that that man had a special power that could bring people hope and make them always gentle and warm.
The phone in the palm of his hand kept vibrating. Qu Changlin lowered his head and saw that it was his boss calling.
The other party seemed to have seen Chen Ge leave on the surveillance camera, so he dared to call directly.
After pressing the answer button, Qu Changlin heard the roar of his boss before he could speak.
"What did you do? I repeatedly stressed that I must scare him! Don't make any mistakes! What about you? Look what you have done?"
Qu Changlin held the phone and leaned against the door without making any sound.
"Speak! What about the promise you gave me? Didn't you say that he must walk in and crawl out? What happened?" The boss was a little irritable. He was also very angry. The ace actor of his haunted house came to his house.
During the visit to the haunted house, all three people were frightened and fainted; now they went to their own haunted house, and four more actors in their own haunted house were frightened! Who can bear this?
"I said he must walk in, but I didn't say he must be the one crawling out. Now he walked in and I crawled out. Is this considered keeping my promise?" Qu Changlin turned over his cell phone.
Putting it aside, he didn't want to hear his boss's voice now, but hanging up someone else's phone was a very rude thing to do.
"Say it to me again?! Qu Changlin! Say it to me again!" On the other side of the phone, the boss's voice was trembling angrily. Seeing that Qu Changlin didn't answer, he didn't even bother to hang up the phone.
He took out his walkie-talkie and gave orders to the haunted house actors in other scenes: "No matter what methods you use today, you must scare that tourist named Chen Ge! The reputation of Nightmare Academy must not be ruined by his hands.
superior!"
"Boss, he seems to have successfully passed the previous scenes. I think it's a bit difficult to scare him."
"I don't want you to think, I want me to feel! Gather them all to me!"
After hanging up the phone, Qu Changlin couldn't hear his boss's voice anymore. He leaned against the door and was thinking about something alone.
…
"Classroom, sundries warehouse, toilet...let me see where to go next." Chen Ge opened the diary and started reading the fourth diary entry.
This diary is related to the corridor and records a very classic strange story called the Thirteenth Step.
There are twelve steps on each floor of Nightmare Academy, but at some special moments, the thirteenth step will appear, and everyone who steps on this step will see some strange things.
"When I first entered the haunted house, the staff kept reminding visitors to pay attention to the stairs. There must be many interesting mechanisms inside, which would be an eye-opener for me. Maybe I could find an outstanding employee like Qu Changlin.
"
The toilet was next to the corridor. Chen Ge returned the same way and came to the stairs.
There is no lighting equipment installed in the corridor. The weak light shines in from the floors. It becomes more and more gloomy as you go inside. The corner between the two floors is even darker and you can't see anything.
"The steps are made of cement. How can they add an extra step for no reason?" Chen Ge also wanted to master this "technology". He stuffed his diary into his backpack and entered the corridor without looking back.
The background music changed and cool air came from all directions. Chen Ge walked up while silently counting the steps.
"One, two... eleven, twelve, it's normal, there is no problem."
Chen Ge was a little disappointed. He went up two floors in one breath, but the number of steps did not change: "Is my visiting method wrong?"
He didn't care about the eyes of "people" on the side, so he took out his diary and read it directly in the corridor: "There is no prompt, so how to trigger this scene?"
While Chen Ge was thinking, footsteps suddenly came from downstairs. He looked downstairs along the gap in the middle of the stairs, but no one was going upstairs.
"Is it background music?"
Before Chen Ge found the location of the speaker, he suddenly heard another child's voice. The voice was erratic and kept repeating two words - dad.
"Where did this sound come from?" Chen Ge's five senses were far superior to ordinary people, but he could not determine the specific location of the sound. The other party seemed to use several different speakers to play it in different locations: "Stop pretending to be a ghost.
, I saw you!"
Chen Ge put a ballpoint pen in his jacket pocket and walked downstairs with his backpack in one hand.
