Translator: Lonelytree Editor: Millman97

“This is the first time I’ve visited such an un-scary Haunted House”

“The props are too fake; I didn’t feel scared If anything, it all felt like a joke to me”

“Materialists like ourselves naturally have nothing to be afraid of! Ghosts aren’t real!”

“I hate to say it, but I told you so We should have stayed at the hostel; I was so close to gaining another level on ru City’s House of Horrors before they left on their motorbikes Chen Ge, who held a stack of advertisement flyers for the Haunted House, shook his head despondently when he saw this

The art of scaring was a skill, but with the introduction of scary movies, many modern-day citizens’ threshold for scares had been increased A visit to the Haunted House was no different from a stroll in one’s own backyard

“Boss!”

A clear female voice erupted from behind him Chen Ge turned around and saw a slender ‘zo out of the Haunted House in a fit of anger

“What’s wrong, Xiao Wan?” The zombie’s name was Xu Wan; she was one of the temporary actors hired by the Haunted House

“Those few ruffians earlier, they tried to take advantage of ripped tight

So, it is merely to complain…

“That’s horrible; they wouldn’t even leave a zombie in peace” As the boss, naturally Chen Ge was on Xiao Wan’s side “Later, I’ll have the ae”

“There’s no need for that When I realized their intentions, ht at the boy’s face” Xu Wan pointed at the bloodstain at the edge of her outfit and exclaimed rather proudly, “See, this isn’t fake blood”

“Good, good, a girl should learn how to protect herself” Chen Ge wiped the cold sweat fro sun, he said, “I suppose it’s time to call it a day We probably won’t have any et off work early today”

However, he realized the girl in zombie make-up didn’telse?”

“Boss…” Xu Wan hesitated before pulling two letters out fronation letters froreat boss to theive these to you in person and had ?” Chen Ge asked the obvious question as he accepted the letters, then he added, “Everyone has their own dream to chase, so be it Xiao Wan, you can leave now if there’s nothing else”

“Okay, I’ll go remove the make-up first”

After the cute little zoo, when his parentsthey left him was this Haunted House To keep their ned fro this Haunted House

Alas, tie co Haunted Houses, and there were plenty of limitations as well A scary scenario would lose its scare factor after the initial experience, but a constant update would require plenty of resources and o, the Haunted House had been in the red; the income from the daily ticket sales barely covered the electricity and water expenses

“I wonder how long I can hold on”

After extinguishi+ng the cigarette, when Chen Ge was prepared to return to the Haunted House, athe uniform for New Century Park walked toward him When he saw hi a cat

“You think you can pretend to have not seen ed man clamped his hands on Chen Ge’s shoulders “Today, we definitely need to talk it out You’ve owed the rent and utilities for twodown my neck to pursue it, so pay up!”

“Uncle Xu, it’s not that I don’t want to pay you, but I really have nothing to pay you with Can you please give me another month?”

“That’s what you told me last month!”

“I promise, this is definitely the last time!” Chen Ge patted his chest as he promised with sincerity

“People have alreadythis stubborn” When the ed man named Uncle Xu saw the letters in Chen Ge’s hand, the force on Chen Ge’s shoulders gradually lightened “You’re so young; you can still begin aneith a different career, so why are you doing this to yourself?”

“Uncle Xu, I know you’re just looking out forforto let the last o,” Chen Ge uttered in a lowered voice as if he was afraid that other people er, the ed man knew about the disappearance of Chen Ge’s parents He didn’t answer ihed and said, “Fine, I can understand how you feel I’ll try ive you a few more weeks”

“Thank you, Uncle Xu!”

“Don’t thank me so soon, you’d betterwill just be the saer off, Chen Ge returned to the Haunted House and started his daily routine of checking the equip

“The fake blood in the maintenance room is almost empty; I have to buy a new batch

“If this corridor could be htly more slanted to the side, it’ll create a better blind spot to scare the visitors

“Oh no, this puppet is broken already; I’ll have to repair it later

“Fck! What happened to the lightbulb I installed here last week? Who has stolen it‽”
