The door to the Murder by Midnight scenario closed with a click, and the crisp sound was like a shackle that tightened itself around the group of medical students’ hearts.

“He San, based on your previous experience, what do you think our best course of action is?”

“Find the exit as soon as possible!”

…

After locking the door, Chen Ge immediately gave Xiao Wan a call to tell her to meet him in the props room.

“Boss, what’s the hurry? The visitors are already inside the building, aren’t they?” Xu Wan, with her dead person make-up and the ghost bride’s attire from the Minghun setting, was quite scary running about the building.

“I’ve built a new scenario on the third floor; it’s called Murder by Midnight. The group of medical students should be the perfect test subjects for the new scenario.” Chen Ge pushed open the door and used the black phone to search for the things that he needed.

“But shouldn’t the new scenario be inspected by the park management first before it can be used?” Xu Wan followed after him, holding the traditional skirt above her ankles lest she tripped on it. “Boss, what are you looking for anyway?”

“The uniform that I personally made for you.”

“Uniform?”

At the deepest corner of the room, Chen Ge spotted a familiar wooden box. He did not expect this box that had once housed the doll and the black phone would suddenly materialize in the room. Chen Ge walked to the box and peered in. Sitting at the bottom were a weird-looking hammer, a blood-soaked robe, and a yellowed missing person notice.

“Found it.” Chen Ge pulled the robe up. Surprisingly, the robe that looked like a normal doctor’s garb was incredibly heavy. That was probably due to the iron chains that were sewn into the fabric. The chains were carved with human faces in various degrees of torment.

“Boss, this is the uniform you made for me?” Xu Wan involuntarily took several steps back because she could smell the blood that seemed to radiate from the outfit. “Can I not wear it?”

“Extras at Haunted House are actors, Xiao Wan. Think of the lessons your teachers at drama school once taught you. An actor has to be able to familiarize themself with any and all roles.” Chen Ge spread the robe out, and a faux-human skin mask fell out from between the folds. Chen Ge also did not know such a thing came with the outfit. He bent over to pick it up, and with just a quick glance, he shivered with chills.

The mask was made from parts of male faces sewn together. It was rough-looking, but that only added to its scare factor.

“Boss, don’t tell me I have to wear that as well.” Xu Wan had already retreated to the door.

“Just try it on, please. I want to see how it looks as a whole. I’ll be the ghost next time, okay? Pretty please…” Chen Ge begged, but his tone sounded like the devil in fairy tales luring common man to sin.

“Fine… I’ll try it on.” Xu Wan finally relented. After accepting the skin mask and the garb, she took off the ghost bride attire in front of Chen Ge and changed into her new uniform. She did not seem to mind that Chen Ge was standing right there. “Boss, honestly, your definition of uniform might need to be updated.”

The moment Xu Wan curled the chains around her body and put on the blood-soaked garb and the skin mask, a subtle change seemed to occur to her entire personality. A sense of cruelty, madness, and wickedness seemed to come over her.
