One minute after the video was posted, Chen Ge’s comment section exploded again!

“The shadow leaning against the tub 56 seconds in is a special effect, right‽ It seems to crawl up from underneath the tub!”

“The person waving the cleavers in the video is the host himself? Someone get him an Oscar!”

“If the black shadow had held on any longer, host wouldn’t be with us anymore!”

“F*ck this sh*t! I was trying to hold my breath as I started the video, but this thing popped up halfway!”

“Run while you still can! The host only shares ghost videos! Run and don’t look back!”

“After staring at my phone for a full minute, I realized I am not going to sleep tonight.”

“After your last video, I didn’t dare look at the mirror anymore, and after this video, I won’t dare take a bath alone anymore! Heartless host, taste this piledriver from me!”

Chen Ge was glad that his video had such a good reception even though it was 4 am. Feeling the ‘love’ his fans had for him, he realized everything was worth it. Before closing the video app, Chen Ge did not forget to put up an advertisement for his Haunted House. The fans were quick to respond, leaving messages saying they would visit him with some local delicacies.

Buying tickets to visit the Haunted House and, on top of that, wanting to gift me local delicacies, the visitors today sure are nice.

After Chen Ge exited the app, he felt much better. He stretched lazily once more and left the Murder by Midnight scenario, hugging the five dolls to his chest.

The night soon passed, and dawn arrived. The sky outside the Haunted House started to brighten. Chen Ge found several wooden planks from the Props Room. He nailed them entrance and the trap door that was connected to the Murder by Midnight scenario. Before he dealt with the mirror monster, he did not plan to use that scenario.

Twenty a ticket, and Murder by Midnight can fit seven visitors at one time. If one run is counted as fifteen minutes, I’ll be able to gain a profit of 560 RMB per hour. One day’s work is eight hours, so that translates to more than 4,000 RMB.

The thought squeezed Chen Ge’s heart with pain, but he was not blinded by greed. Safety’s first. There’ll be more to earn after future scenarios are unlocked.

After sealing up the scenario, Chen Ge returned to the staff breakroom. He placed the dolls beside his bed and changed into his running attire. The Trial Mission reminded Chen Ge of the fact that if not for his occasional training, he would have been buried under the ground then.

Xu Wan arrived for work at around 8.40 am. She was surprised to see Chen Ge around the corner with his head full of sweat. In her mind, her boss was not someone who was into exercising.

The gate of the Haunted House swung open, signifying the arrival of a new work day. The two workers stood at their assigned posts, ready to start the operation. At 9 am, the visitors started to enter the park, but the entrance of the Haunted House was still quite empty; it was the most vacant spot of all the attractions inside New Century Park.

“Boss, what did you do inside the Haunted House last night? Why are there water puddles all over the place?”

“I was moping the floor.” Chen Ge gave a random excuse before adding, “When you are acting as a ghost, remember to stay far away from any mirrors.”

“Why?”

Chen Ge was about to explain it to her when he saw Uncle Xu, the park manager, walking toward them.

“Uncle Xu, is there a problem?” Chen Ge removed the ear-mic. He realized Uncle Xu did not have a very pleased expression.
