Chapter 189 - Rivalry (2/2)

This kind of design was the most effective, but it was not as entertaining as Chen Ge’s Haunted House, which was open for you to wander about. After memorizing the map, Chen Ge prepared to leave. When he turned around and saw the security guard, his eyes narrowed, and his heartrate rose slightly.

The security had put on a thin ghost mask, and it looked rather similar to ghost face that had appeared on screen earlier. He looked at Chen Ge silently, and Chen Ge looked at him silently. “If you have nothing to say, then move on. Don’t waste time.”

“Our Haunted House is really haunted. If you stumble across anything weird, remember to holler at the camera!” the security said seriously, and it did not sound like he was lying.

“Can you be more specific? What kind of ghost?” Chen Ge scanned the room. There was a flashlight and some tools under the counter. They should have been provided to the guests, but the security did not seem like he was going to give Chen Ge any.

“You’ll understand soon enough. The way to begin is on your left-hand side. Push the wall open, and your exploration of the secret at Tian Teng Medical School will officially start,” the security guard said mysteriously before hauling Chen Ge out of the security stop.

“There’s an actual ghost? At most, it’ll be a lingering spirit.” Chen Ge mumbled something that the security guard did not understand before pushing the wall and moved on. The Haunted House was filled with many traps. The wall opened and closed on its own. Someone was controlling it from afar.

The details are on point; no wonder they’re so popular.

Just the design at the preparation room had impressed Chen Ge. He wondered if he could use that inspiration inside his own Haunted House somehow.

Behind the wall was a long corridor. Due to the limitation of geography, the corridor was half the size of a normal corridor, and the most interesting part was that there was a dried ‘female body’ hanging in the middle of the road, as if warning the visitors of incoming danger.

The corridor was most likely a buffer zone for the visitors to prepare themselves for the upcoming scare. This was quite the kind design. Chen Ge walked toward the body, and when he approached, he stopped.

At the corner of the corridor, away from the focus of the visitor, was a steel box that did not capture much attention. A normal visitor would be attracted by the female body and ignore the steel box.

There has to be someone hiding inside the box. After being scared inside the security stop, they would be tense. When they first passed through the door, their attention would be dominated by the female body, and when they tried to walk past the body, a ghost would jump out at them from the box hidden in the corner. That’s quite interesting.

A heartless design met Chen Ge, who did not know the meaning of the term ‘bottom line’. The match between shameless and cunning was officially starting.

I seem to have rediscovered the childhood joy of visiting a Haunted House. Chen Ge leaned his body against the wall. Since the actor was hiding inside the box, Chen Ge’s position was exactly inside his blind spot.

As he nudged closer, instead of watching the swinging body, Chen Ge kept his focus on the box. The fake box looked flawless, at least from the front, but from the side, one could see that the back of the box was already loosening. There was even a small gap on the corner. Probably due to the hard-to-notice angle of the gap, the team had not fixed it.

The person inside the box must be fully focused, waiting for me to walk past so that he can jump out to scare me.

Scaring people required timing, and the more professional the actor, the better their timing.

Chen Ge thought about it and took out his phone to set a one-minute alarm. He set the alarm tone as Wedding Dress, and he slowly squatted down and slid the phone into the box through the open gap.
