Chen Ge removed his shirt, and the two nurses helped him apply the audio recorder and heartrate monitor. After testing, several fluctuating lines appeared on the screen in the middle of the hall. The man stood to the side of the stage and pointed at the lines. “HR/PR represents heartrate and pulse rate. SpO2 stands for peripheral capillary oxygen saturation, an estimate of the amount of oxygen in the blood. RESP is respiratory rate. TEMP is body temperature. Based on these few lines, we can clearly and objectively see the change in your emotions.”

After putting on his clothes, Chen Ge shrugged. “Can we start now?”

“The entrance is to the left of the hall; the exit is on the right. We’ll wait for you at the exit,” the man explained briefly to Chen Ge. “There is a guide inside the Haunted House, so he’ll tell you what to do.”

“Okay.” Chen Ge walked into Tian Teng Medical School. Looking at Chen Ge’s back, the man smiled. They had organized similar activities in Xing Hai before, and the lines on the screen seemed to go through a roller coaster. Combined with the screams would be that broadcasted through the speaker, even the visitors outside could experience the fear vicariously.

“Such an interesting fella.” The man locked the door silently and took out his phone to inform the workers inside the Haunted House that their prey was coming. He told them not to hold back.

…

As the door closed, the light in the room dimmed. Chen Ge waited until his eyes had familiarized themselves with the darkness before he moved forward. The first scene was a security stop. A person in a security outfit was sitting down, facing away from Chen Ge. There was a blood-splattered screen before him, and the images kept flitting about. They seemed to show scenes inside the hospital.

This was the preparation room, mainly used to inform the visitor of the Haunted House’s background and to bring the visitors into the story.

The key to moving forward should be the security guard. This set-up is quite interesting.

Chen Ge walked to the door of the security stop, leaned against the only window, and yelled into the small room, “Boss, what are you looking at?”

Hearing Chen Ge’s voice, the man slowly turned around. His face was covered with sweat, and with his finger pointing at the screen, his lips stuttered, “There, there…”

A stutterer’s character setting? Very professional.

Chen Ge walked into the room to have a closer look at the screen. The screen was repeating several headlines about the hospital: Patients mysteriously jumping from the building; immoral doctors selling organs on the black market; confirmed dead patients returning the next day. The team had put plenty of effort into these headlines because there was even a surveillance tape attached to them.

In the darkened hospital corridor, a woman in white was staggering forward with her head lowered, her black hair covering her entire face. The video was edited so that the woman appeared to be far one second but close to the camera the next. The woman’s face appeared at the camera on the third second, and a scary face filled up the screen.

“There’s a ghost!” the security guard who sat behind Chen Ge screamed.

He had probably practiced this many times because his timing was perfect. Chen Ge sighed as he shook his head. “Great set-up, but you might be able to scary me if she’s wearing red.”

A female Red Specter had a special meaning for Chen Ge. At the end of the video, there was a layout page for the Haunted House. Basically, Chen Ge had to follow the designated path, and that would be all.
