Chapter 346 - Wave of Ghosts Coming Through (2/2)

When Chen Ge entered the underground earlier, he had seen a meandering path appearing between the Third Sick Hall and Mu Yang High School. At the end of the path was a pale light.

“Coffin Village is at the end of the path. This is where I’ll leave you, have fun.” Chen Ge stood at the mouth of the path and sent the visitors away. It’s nice that the three scenarios are separated, but after the expansion turns the Haunted House into a maze, all the underground scenarios might join together to create a large scary scenario.

After three expansions, the Haunted House would morph into a Maze of Terror. It had been expanded twice already, and the third time was not that far away. Chen Ge looked down the other two scenarios. Inside the Mu Yang High School, the sealed classroom’s door was pushed open. A mannequin head peeked out as if to see whether Chen Ge had already left or not. When it saw Chen Ge, it rolled back into the classroom and closed the door.

Those students sure are naughty. I’ll need to have them memorize the worker’s rules later. Chen Ge returned to the surface and headed to the props room. He ransacked the place and finally found the reward at the corner—Seamstress’ Wedding Dress. The tattered wedding dress was red as blood. It was possessed by a hatred-filled spirit. If one leaned close enough, one might even hear the weeping of a woman. If the visitors saw this, they would be so angry. Chen Ge had not even placed the thing that they were supposed to look for into the scenario. The happiness in finding it after looking for a long time is the real fun of the game.

He wrapped the wedding dress inside a black cloth. Chen Ge entered the changing room. This was the unique construct that he had obtained after the Haunted House’s second expansion. None of the visitors had tried it before. Chen Ge selected one of the less conspicuous outfits and put on some make-up. “This is not bad. I look normal from afar, but upon closer inspection, it’s quite scary.”

Chen Ge entered Coffin Village again. He used the black phone to inspect the hidden tunnels and pathways inside the village and took out the comic. When the ghost stories society was battling the Zhu woman, Chen Ge had made use of the opportunity to collect a few ghosts into the comic. After a whole night of ‘education’, the lingering spirits had been reformed.

“I’ve told you it’s a good decision to follow me. This is the new home I’ve arranged for all of you. The whole village is yours. You can feed on the visitors’ fear and screams, but remember one thing, you cannot harm the visitors and no physical contact, understood?”

Chen Ge walked through Coffin Village and tossed out the ghosts as he went. “The completion rate for the mission is only seven percent, which means the scariest thing at this scenario hasn’t arrived. Thankfully, I remembered to carry some ghosts from the village itself.”

Looking at the village that came back to ‘life’, Chen Ge flashed a satisfied smile. “Even though it is quite harsh and demanding, all the sacrifice is worth it to give the visitors the best experience.”

Chen Ge felt like he was the kind that worked in the background. If he revealed all the effort he had done, the visitors would be so touched.

…

Amid creepy music and a heavy atmosphere, when the eight visitors reached the end of the path, what they saw stunned them—rows of old houses, intertwining streets, fluttering paper money, and the white paper lanterns giving off pale light hanging at the door.

“This is Coffin Village?” The leading woman shrunk back and silently hid behind her companions.
