Chapter 501 - Bad Endings (2/2)

The entire Western Jiujiang’s House of Horrors only had three living people. Chen Ge did not want any misunderstandings between them, so he quickly explained, “Xiao Gu was unable to find a taxi home last night, and it was raining heavily, so I had him stay at the staff breakroom for the night. I busied myself inside the scenarios. Right, I almost forgot. Xiao Gu, I’m giving you a half day off. You go back to pack your things and move to a place near the park. I’ll help you cover the down payment.”

“Thank you, boss.” Xiao Gu did not really understand what was happening, but he was glad. He went to the dressing room happily.

Hearing Chen Ge’s explanation, Xu Wan’s mood turned better. “Boss, I shall go to the dressing room as well. Remember to come help me with the make-up later.”

“Okay.” Seeing the happiness on his workers’ faces, Chen Ge felt comforted. The park opened at 9 am, and the visitors swamped the place. However, the curious thing was that no one dared to challenge the underground morgue again.

He kept himself busy until twelve noon. When the employees went for their lunch break, two shadows, one small and one big, came out from the resting hall. When Chen Ge saw them, he put down his lunch and rushed back into the Haunted House.

“Boss Chen! I have something important to tell you!” The large shadow used an agility that did not match his size to catch up to Chen Ge.

Knowing that he was unable to avoid them, Chen Ge turned back with a friendly smile as he grabbed the man’s arm. “Fan Chong? Why are you here? Come and take a seat, we’re considered friends now. What scenario would you like to challenge today?”

The ones who blocked Chen Ge were Fan Chong and his brother—the chef at New East International Hotel, Fan Dade.

Fan Chong’s hands were cold, and he had two large dark circles on his face like he had not slept for a long time. “Boss Chen, I really need your help this time.”

He sounded so serious and that caused Chen Ge to turn serious as well. “What happened?”

“Do you still remember the game that I told you about last time?”

In the park’s medical room, Fan Chong had described the weird game for Chen Ge before. He suspected that the game was based on a real murder.

“I remember, the main character’s name is Xiao Bu.” Chen Ge had a lasting impression of the game, and the reason was simple. Fan Chong had said that the style of the game changed after the main character opened the door to the basement. The first thing that the main character saw was a bus stop. There was a red shadow and an old bus at the bus stop.

This matched what had happened to Xiao Gu perfectly!

The red shadow represented the woman in the red raincoat, and the old bus was the last bus on Route 104. In other words, the game creator had perhaps experienced that.

“Good that you still remember it.” Fan Chong rubbed his hands. After a while, he added, “I’ve cleared the game, but…”

“Don’t worry, just tell me everything.” Chen Ge was more nervous than Fan Chong. By now, he was certain that the game was hiding a big secret.

“I’ve cleared the game four times, sacrificing my sleep for the past two days, and I got four different endings.” The flesh on Fan Chong’s face scrunched up together. “But the four endings were all bad endings. Xiao Bu died four times in different ways, but I suspect there are more endings, meaning more ways for Xiao Bu to die. This is a game without hope, or I can’t find the hope.”

“Don’t rush, take it slow.” Chen Ge had Uncle Xu take over, and he pulled Fan Chong to the resting hall. “Tell me the whole process, or if possible, you can bring me over to your place to see the game tonight.”
