Chen Ge was the last person to jump down from the second floor. When he stood on the window sill, he was also surprised by the surging flow of people downstairs.
"It seems like I'm playing a little too big this time."
In order not to look special, Chen Ge hesitated for a moment and then jumped down from the window.
"Someone jumped off the building!"
Waves of sound echoed on Xinhai Central Avenue, and more and more people crowded in this direction.
It took a full ten minutes for the police to arrive and order was restored to the scene.
"Don't stay where you are, don't block the passage, let the ambulance come in!"
Several policemen dispersed the crowd of people who were watching melon-eating, and it didn't take them long to find the people who had just "jumped off the building."
"Things are running out from under the building! Comrade police! I know this is hard to understand, but it is the truth!" Xiao Zhao kept jumping up, trying to attract the attention of the police: "There are tourists inside! Hurry! Save them
!”
Several haunted house actors were agitated and had not completely calmed down. After the police briefly asked about the situation, they all looked strange.
At first they thought it was a vicious homicide, and later they thought there might be a fire in the haunted house and they were forced to jump off the building. However, after listening to the employees' descriptions, the police felt that these people were playing a joke on them.
"Things downstairs? Do you know the consequences of teasing the police?" The leading police captain had a dark face. After understanding the situation, he began to suspect that this was a malicious hype by the Nightmare Academy, and that they were doing all this to win.
Popularity and attention, a self-directed and self-acted farce.
"We're not playing tricks on you! It's true! That thing downstairs appeared out of thin air! He was dressed in red!" Several surviving haunted house actors vividly described to the police.
With their frightened eyes, urgent tone, and exaggerated body movements, the actors in the haunted house seemed to be too deep into the scene and unable to get out.
"Okay, okay, where is your person in charge? Let him come out. I have something to ask him." The police captain felt that he really couldn't communicate with the actors in the haunted house.
"Responsible person?" Several haunted house actors looked at each other, and they suddenly remembered that their boss was still in the haunted house!
"Oops! The boss is still inside!"
…
Waving the golf club in his hand, Nightmare Academy owner Shangguan Qinghong frowned slightly: "It's a bit light, forget it, I can't find a more convenient weapon in a short time, so let's leave it at that."
He looked at the computer screen and checked the several videos he had just intercepted from the surveillance camera. The protagonists of these videos were Chen Ge, and the screenshots he captured were all clips of Chen Ge escaping from his haunted house.
"With such a cowardly boss, how can Hanjiang House of Horror compare to my Nightmare Academy in the future? Even their bosses are scared to death when they come to my place." Although many unexpected things happened today, Boss Shangguan is still very happy.
, he felt that he had kept the signature of his haunted house and severely attacked his opponent's arrogance.
"So what if the real ghost downstairs escapes? As long as it is a ghost that appears in my haunted house, it is considered part of the strength of my haunted house." Righteousness does not control wealth, and kindness does not control soldiers. Shangguan Qinghong feels that he has done it
That's right.
"I already have the evidence that Chen Ge was frightened and collapsed. Now I just need to get out safely." After all the videos captured from the surveillance were downloaded, Shangguan Qinghong put away his phone.
He put on a helmet and knee pads and held a golf club in one hand.
"It's time to go out. Although the thing downstairs is weird and scary, I have a lot of employees. If we all get together, even dirty things can't cause trouble."
Taking a deep breath, Shangguan Qinghong opened the door to the principal's office: "Don't panic, everyone! Listen to my command!"
The door panel was open, but there were no employees outside as Shangguan Qinghong imagined. There was no one in the dark corridor, only the cold air from the air conditioner was blowing randomly.
"Where are the people?"
Standing alone on the long corridor where he could not see his fingers, Shangguan Qinghong couldn't help but panic. He took out his walkie-talkie and shouted loudly: "Where are you? Xiao Zhao? Old Li? Xiaoxu?"
I changed the channel several times but no one answered. He was the only echo in the entire corridor.
"what happened?"
No one spoke on the walkie-talkie, and no one answered the phone, as if he was the only one left in the world.
"Where have all these guys gone?"
Shangguan Qinghong held a golf club. After a brief panic, he immediately calmed down: "I informed them as soon as the accident happened. The actors on the same floor as me gathered directly at the door of my office. Now there are two possibilities for them all to disappear.
"
"First, the dirty things pressed downstairs are chasing them. They attracted the attention of the dirty things and helped me lure away the ghosts. Now is a good opportunity for me to leave."
"Second, they have been killed. If this is the case, then it is useless for me to worry and be afraid. What is coming will always come. Blind panic will only make me lose my sense of proportion."
Shangguan Qinghong's ability to run Nightmare Academy into the largest haunted house in Xinhai shows that he is very capable, but it may be that his career has been smooth sailing, which has left him with some personality problems.
"My goal has been achieved. Now I just need to ensure my own safety." Shangguan Qinghong decided to leave directly. As for the safety of his employees, he would only consider it after ensuring his own safety first.
Shangguan Qinghong walked carefully to the elevator door. It took Shangguan Qinghong a full two minutes.
Scenes that are usually familiar are now filled with a special sense of terror.
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Shangguan Qinghong pressed the elevator button, but the elevator seemed to have malfunctioned and stopped at the first floor below.
"What's going on?" After pressing it several times, the numbers on the elevator's external display changed and began to rise slowly.
"It's so slow!" Qian stood at the door of the elevator. Shangguan Qinghong became more and more frightened. He looked at the dark corridor and always felt that something would suddenly appear in the darkness. Fear was like a poisonous weed taking root in his heart.
germination.
When the elevator reached the second floor, Shangguan Qinghong suddenly heard footsteps coming from the corridor. The background music also changed at this moment, and he could clearly hear the voice of a strange man.
"That thing is coming."
The footsteps in the corridor were getting closer and closer. Shangguan Qinghong stared at the numbers on the elevator screen and held the golf club tightly with both hands.
"Quick!"
When footsteps appeared on the fourth floor, the elevator finally rose to the fourth floor.
The elevator doors painted with various paints opened on both sides, and Shangguan Qinghong squeezed in. As soon as he stepped in, his body froze.
There is a person in the elevator!
The man stood in the corner of the elevator with a pale face. He was shocked when he saw the owner of the haunted house rushing in with golf clubs.
"Who are you?"
The two said in unison, as if they had discussed it.
After looking at each other for about three seconds, the owner of the haunted house spoke first: "Are you a tourist?"
He focused all his attention on Chen Ge today and didn't pay that much attention to other tourists.
The pale middle-aged man nodded and looked at Shangguan Qinghong warily: "What about you?"
"I am the owner of the haunted house. There is a little accident here. Don't ask so many questions. I will send you out first." Shangguan Qinghong acted very calmly in front of the tourists.
After hearing Shangguan Qinghong talk about his haunted house owner, the other person in the elevator breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay."
"The big tree attracts the wind. There will be accidents today. The main reason is that colleagues come over to cause trouble. Our haunted house is not like this in normal times." Shangguan Qinghong forced a smile and put all the blame on Chen Ge: "What do you call a friend?"
"My surname is Zhou, you can just call me Lao Zhou."
The footsteps in the corridor were approaching quickly and had already appeared at the corner of the fourth floor. Shangguan Qinghong quickly pressed the elevator door switch.
The blood-stained elevator door slowly closed, and the strange footsteps were getting closer and closer!
The owner of the haunted house was unable to do anything in the elevator at this time. His heart was hanging high and he slowly clenched his hands.
"Close it quickly! Close it quickly!"
Perhaps God heard the prayer of the owner of Nightmare Academy. When the elevator door was about to close, the footsteps were still a few meters away.
"It's stable." He breathed a long sigh of relief, but then something happened that made him think of everything.
A hand stretched out from the elevator and got stuck in the middle of the elevator door that was about to close!
Shangguan Qinghong swore that he was absolutely right, that pale hand was stretching out from inside the elevator!
The elevator door touched the hand and opened to both sides again.
Shangguan Qinghong looked at Lao Zhou who was standing at the door at some point and almost lost his breath.
His lips were bloodless, and before he could say anything, a strong smell of blood hit the elevator like a huge wave!
When he raised his head again, Shangguan Qinghong saw Lao Zhou retreating to the side and a strange figure standing at the elevator door.
The red clothes are like blood, riddled with resentment, and black curses run through the flesh.
"Don't come over!" The owner of the haunted house huddled in the corner of the elevator, watching the blood shadow enter the elevator, and then saw Lao Zhou press the button to close the door.
The elevator door slowly closed, and no one stopped it this time.
…
"Your boss is still in the haunted house?" The leading captain looked at the screaming haunted house actors and didn't understand why they were so excited.
"Comrade police! Save our boss! He is still on the fourth floor! There are other tourists in the haunted house!"
The police heard that the haunted house actor didn't think it was a joke, so he nodded in agreement and gathered the team to the main entrance of the haunted house.
"The elevator is the only exit from our haunted house, but now the elevator is occupied by the dirty things downstairs! It has been parked on the first floor below..." Xiao Zhao jumped as he spoke. He led the way and pointed at the display screen on the outside of the elevator.
.
But when he saw the numbers on the display screen, he was stunned for a moment.
The number on the display is two, which means the elevator is passing the second floor at this time.
"The elevator moved? The dirty things downstairs must have taken the elevator upstairs!" Xiao Zhao screamed.
At this time, the number on the display screen was still changing, and soon became one again.
After about a few seconds, the elevator door slowly opened in front of the police and the haunted house actors.
The owner of the Nightmare Academy, holding a golf club, was lying on the ground, his body twitching continuously, and he had completely lost consciousness.
"boss!"
Employees swarmed over and said, "Call the emergency number quickly!"
People were frightened and fainted. If this is a haunted house directed and performed by themselves, then they are playing too big.
The leading police officer realized that something was wrong and asked several people to take the elevator upstairs.
They searched the entire building repeatedly and found none of the dirty things the haunted house actors said. Instead, they saw more haunted house actors who were unconscious on the ground, and two couple tourists who looked confused.
When they first saw the police coming in, the tourist couple thought they were police officers disguised as haunted house actors, and they started talking wildly in an attempt to trigger the plot of the haunted house.
About thirty minutes later, a space was cleared at the entrance of the haunted house. The unconscious haunted house actors and haunted house owners were taken away by ambulances. The remaining conscious tourists and actors stayed for questioning by the police. Finally, everyone was taken away
Go to the nearest police station.
Sitting in the police car, Chen Ge skillfully put on his seat belt. He did not expect that it would be his first time in Xinhai that he would have the opportunity to ride in a Xinhai City police car.
"Comrade police, please believe me. I am really innocent. My hometown is in Hanjiang. I came all the way to visit the haunted house. In fact, I am also a victim..."
…
"Make way! Emergency! Make way!" Medical carts passed through the corridors one after another, taking unconscious patients to the emergency room.
"There is no room! The patients behind will be sent to other wards first! Xiao Zhang, call Dr. Liu and Dr. Xu who are resting immediately! A large number of employees at a haunted house on Xinhai Central Avenue are unconscious and fainting! Now it is suspected to be food poisoning! They are likely to
Don’t eat some kind of hallucinogenic substance!”
"No abnormalities were found in the physical examination! They seemed to have been stimulated by something. Fainting is the body's own protective mechanism."
"When will they wake up?" The police officer leading the team had a headache. Xinhai's security was very good, and such a thing had never happened in the area he was responsible for.
"I don't know! It can be as short as one or two hours or as long as a few days. We can't tell." The doctor in charge couldn't tell either: "If you are in a hurry, I suggest you transfer them to Hanjiang Central Hospital.
Go, I heard that the doctors there are very good at treating syncope, and they also have a separate ward there specifically to receive such patients!"
"Is there a hospital that specializes in treating syncope?" The leading policeman hesitated, as the current situation was no longer within his control.
"Forget about other patients, but the patient named Shangguan Qinghong is in very serious condition. He has fallen into a deep coma and has no response to external stimuli. I suggest that he be sent to Hanjiang and receive relevant treatment immediately."
"Okay, I'll report it to my superiors." The leading police officer nodded: "The hospital in Hanjiang is called Hanjiang Central Hospital, right?"
"Yes, Hanjiang Central Hospital, No. 514 Paradise Exclusive Ward! I don't know why they gave the ward such a name, but I know that their ability to treat syncope is the best in the industry." The doctor said seriously.
