Chapter 748 - I Only Remember, That Day, Everything Turned Red (2/2)
Chen Ge acted like he was surprised by this development. He was stunned by disbelief. About two seconds later, he adopted the same expression as the man. “There are really ghosts in this world?”
When he was ‘frozen in fear’, the man finally lost it. He crawled up from the ground and raced down the corridor. Shocked into mobility by the scream, Chen Ge snapped into motion. He jumped down the stairs, grabbed his backpack, and started running!
“How long has there been a real ghost in your Haunted House‽”
“How would I know? If I knew that, do you think I will still work here‽ Basement one! Basement one! This is basement one! Please send help!” The man grabbed the phone and yelled for help. He and Chen Ge raced down the corridor, and the situation was chaotic.
Seeing the man and Chen Ge run away, Xu Yin stood on the step with a confused look on his face. Ol’ Zhou, who had been hiding, joined him soon after. “Our boss sure is a quick thinker. He’s pushing the blame, no, I mean, he is planning something big!” Ol’ Zhou did not dare to get too close to Xu Yin. He stood several steps above the young man and said, “Our boss now needs your cooperation.”
Xu Yin turned back to look at Ol’ Zhou. He seemed to slowly understand what Chen Ge was doing.
“Do your best to scare them. There is still time to salvage the situation.” Ol’ Zhou looked weirdly excited. “It is about time we do it our way.”
Hearing that, Xu Yin nodded. Droplets of blood slid down his shirt. He took one step forward, and the speakers throughout the building started to blur with static.
…
The smell of blood curled around Chen Ge and the small actor’s body like tight lasso. The red ghost trailed behind them and could not be shaken loose no matter what. The two flew down the underground corridor and went back to the surface using another set of stairs.
“Boss! Are you there? Anyone? Say something!” The man was so anxious that he was about to smash the phone. He waited for a long time before the boss who had been calling other people finally replied.
“Xiao Zhao, you were perfect! I saw everything on the monitor! You managed to scare that man until he fell!” Nightmare Academy’s boss praised the actor, but in that situation, the actor had no mood for compliments. His throat was sore from all the screaming.
“Boss, come to first floor quick! Call people to come here! I’m being chased. I can’t hold on much longer!” The actor’s small legs moved quickly; his whole body was about to collapse.
“Is the visitor chasing you? Don’t worry, I’ll get people to go help you now!” The boss still cared about his worker.
“It’s not the visitor!” the man yelled between breaths.
“Then who is it?”
“A ghost wearing a red shirt!”
“We have an actor wearing a red shirt?”
“It’s not an actor!”
“Then who is it?”
“It’s a f*cking ghost! A real ghost!”
