Chapter 966: The Undulating Curse

The situation at the futuristic theme park was more serious than Chen Ge had anticipated. He initially thought they had just stuffed some old objects into the Haunted House, but through the conversation, he realized that they did more than that; they made use of the haunted house to provide the old objects with a home. They assimilated objects with real spirits into the Haunted House, thus giving the Specters possessing the objects a new chance at ‘life’. The key difference from Chen Ge’s Haunted House was that the Specters possessing these objects were not brought under control, and they were free to attack the visitors. These Specters were shapeless, and after the visitors finished their tours, they would not realize what had happened to them in a short period of time, but the symptoms would appear after some time.

“You guys are so irresponsible toward your visitors.” Chen Ge wanted to meet the leader responsible for the Haunted House. That person had to be hiding something.

“Xiao Ling’s friend is a bit too sensitive, and that’s why she said something like that. As you know, when someone is under great tension, it’s normal for them to see stuff that’s not there.” The police officer was afraid that Chen Ge might have misunderstood.

“My friend is telling the truth, but no one cares. Everyone knows that there are no ghosts in this world, but the problem is, how can you explain the things that she saw?” Xiao Ling argued with the police officer. Chen Ge leaned against the wall and listened with interest.

Before he arrived, he had known that the futuristic theme park would have their workers act as visitors, but he did not expect the workers to be so unprofessional. Perhaps combining forty hellish scenarios was too much and broke their mental defense, or perhaps the process of building the Haunted House was too, so the basic workers knew about its hidden trapping. In conclusion, many factors had likely led to this situation, where the ‘visitors’ argued among themselves, and the real visitor became the leader.

“Stop arguing. We’re here to visit. If you do not wish to give up, we’d better work together.” Chen Ge’s voice sounded particularly sensible at that moment. His presence was like a ray of light, bringing people warmth and reliability. Xiao Ling ignored the police officer and turned her face away.

“We’re all friends here. There’s no need to get into an argument due to a small misunderstanding.” Chen Ge consoled Xiao Ling before cutting to the chase. “Does your friend know the story about the objects here? These objects, especially the altar, where did they come from?”

“They were taken from a village near the dam at Eastern Jiujiang. It had nice scenery, but the place was a bit secluded, and the locals were hostile against outsides.”

“When they went to take the objects, did the people in the village say anything?” Chen Ge did not mind the other items, but the altar was the key problem. It was the source of the curse.

“Not many people were left at the village, and most of them were aging elders. After my friend explained her reason for being there, they chased her out. Then my friend’s manager gave a young man from the village two hundred RMB to have the man lead us into the village in the dead of the night.” Xiao Ling remembered many things.

“The village wasn’t that big, and many houses were empty. The altar was in the oldest home in the village, facing away from the sun. It was the biggest home in the village, and it had been abandoned years ago.”

“The young man that was our guide told us that many bad things had happened there.
