The scenarios joined together to form a big maze. Some of the scenarios were huge; others were just a single room. Chen Ge wandered aimlessly around the haunted house with the keys. He realized that most of the scenarios were interconnected, and they had different ways of clearing the scenarios.

“Didn’t the visitors say the haunted house has been filled with many old objects? How come I haven’t encountered any? Or are most of the old objects not possessed and Jiang Jiu moved them in here to cover up for the altar and the old mansion? No wait, I missed one thing. There was that windchime in the cursed house. There was something in it.”

Chen Ge did not want to have any regrets, so he took a shortcut back. He first returned to the dormitory to grab his wrist band, clothes, and backpack and then removed the wooden boards to get back into the cursed house. Once he entered it, Chen Ge noticed that something was not right. The lights in the corridors were flickering, and many people were gathered and heading his way.

“The other workers finally gathered their courage to come in here.”

The tour was not forced to stop, and the central computer did not shut down. Under those conditions, the manager of the Reincarnation Haunted House had to gather fifteen people before they dared to get into the haunted house to initiate the ‘rescue’.

“Be careful! All employees have lost contact! Be careful of anything!”

“Boss, from the surveillance, I notice that some of our workers are in serious trouble. Are we sure we’re not calling the police?”

“This the second day our theme park has been open for business! If the police arrive, do you know what that means? Many people are already suspicious about our theme park’s technology, thinking that this kind of immersive experience will harm the brain and senses. If we call the police, won’t we be admitting that they’re right?”

“But…”

“If the problem becomes serious enough, I will call the police. I don’t need you to tell me that! Now, just follow my orders! Right! Some of you go and chase away the reporters that have gathered at the entrance!”

“Brother Jiang, we have investigated the actor who played the saw murderer. His name is Lee Xiaoyi. He’s one of our old workers.”

“Why would an old worker suddenly go on a rampage? Has he gone to the mansion in the middle of the haunted house?”

“No clue…”

Hearing these people’s conversation, Chen Ge knew that he would not have a chance to find the windchime, so he slid away quietly.

Could the Brother Jiang the employees refer to be Jiang Jiu?

There was no reason for Chen Ge to stay, so he prepared to leave.

…

Opening the rusted door, the wandering projections dispersed. The crying and laughter inside the haunted house slowly dwindled away, and a spotlight shone on Chen Ge. He saw a staircase that led upstairs. Moving up the steps, Chen Ge returned to the surface.

“Someone’s coming! Someone’s coming out!”
