Chapter 1137 - I Hope Each of You Can Find Happiness 2 in 1 (1/2)

The temperature in the room did not drop again. Following the vibration on his phone, Chen Ge received yet another ten messages.

“Congratulations, Red Specters’ Favored, for obtaining a one-time use Nightmare Mission coupon!

“After using the coupon, it is guaranteed that a new Nightmare Mission will be registered when the daily haunted house missions refresh at midnight!

“Congratulations, Red Specters’ Favored, for obtaining a haunted house employee costume—Clown of Misfortune!

“Clown of Misfortune: They always laugh seeing me cry. They believe my sadness is their source of joy.

“Warning! The whole costume for the clown of misfortune consists of the clown’s mask, a bloody make-up bag, and a human skin jester costume. After putting on the whole costume set, it will create an unknown effect.

“Congratulations, Red Specters’ Favored, for obtaining a haunted house employee costume—The Food Connoisseur!

“The Food Connoisseur: I am the pickiest eater in the world. I have tasted the meat of almost every animal in the world. Lately, I have been obsessed with an optimal prime cut of meat. Would you like to follow me to the kitchen to take a peek at it?

“Warning! The whole costume for the Food Connoisseur consists of the night-colored western suit and the good night briefcase. The suit can increase the wearer’s personal charm. A friendly warning, do not open the connoisseur’s briefcase when there is a crowd around you.

“Congratulations, Red Specters’ Favored, for obtaining a haunted house employee costume—The Stranger!

“The Stranger: A homicide with a random target is the hardest case to solve. There is no motive and no rules. The unrelated victim and the foolproof murder method, do be careful of that stranger that brushes past your shoulder when you walk alone at night.

“Warning! The costume of the Stranger only consists of a casual outfit. The outfit can help lower your presence to the lowest. Even if the witnesses have seen your face, their memory of you will soon be forgotten.

“Congratulations, Red Specters’ Favored, for obtaining a unique item—An Inscribed Pair of Wedding Rings!

“An Inscribed Pair of Wedding Rings: Not long after their marriage, the husband often returned late from work. On a stormy night, the husband left and was never seen again. The police searched for three days and three nights, but no trace of the husband could be found. The wife cried herself to sleep every night. The case eventually became an open case. No one knew where the husband had gone, and the wife slowly spiraled into insanity. She could often be seen whispering to the pair of wedding rings on her fingers on her own.

“Warning! As long as both parties are wearing the wedding rings, no matter how great the distance between them, they will be able to sense each other’s general location! But wearing the rings for too long will have a negative impact on the wearers’ bodies.”

…

Another ten draws, but Chen Ge appeared to have really drawn all the existing baleful Specters from the prize pool. This time, he not only did not draw any Specters, all the rewards that he had drawn were equipment, and they were not particularly rare items on top of that.

“Could it be that all of my luck has been exhausted on my random encounters with ghosts? But that does not sound right! I have already drawn twenty consecutive times, and there has not been a baleful Specter in sight, or am I actually accumulating my luck? Will my next draw nab me a Top Red Specter or even a Demon God?”

Chen Ge was slowly being drawn into the gambler’s fallacy, but thankfully, our main character’s rationality regained its possession of his mind. Shaking his head, Chen Ge realized how unrealistic his thoughts were. After all, a Demon God was on a completely different level compared to a Red Specter. After completing his thirty draws, Chen Ge memorized all the rewards and prizes that he had drawn in his mind and then slowly made his way through the rest of his tour of futuristic theme park’s haunted house.

“Quick! He is coming out!”

“Brother Jiang! Brother Jiang! The person is heading toward the exit that you are guarding!”

“All departments, be on full alert! Do not let anything slip past your eyes!”

Pushing open the last door, Chen Ge walked out from the haunted house, and he saw Jiang Ming, who appeared to be waiting for him at the exit.

“Long time no see. How have you been lately?”

Chen Ge initially thought that Jiang Ming would have nothing but a huff or a rolling of the eyes for him, but that was far away from the truth. Jiang Ming very naturally greeted Chen Ge, and there was even a trace of friendliness in his voice. “I am doing quite well lately thanks to you.”

“Thanks to me? What have I done?”

“You sent that idiot Ma Feng to the hospital. Now, even the breaths that I take in feel that much easier and fresher,” Jiang Ming whispered. The management at the futuristic theme park was wildly different from the management at New Century Park. It appeared like there was much internal fighting. After Jiang Jiu was hospitalized, Ma Feng had seized all managerial power. As Jiang Jiu’s adopted son, Jiang Ming had naturally suffered a lot under the new leader.

“Hey, watch what you’re saying. I had nothing to do with the fact that he is currently hospitalized. He signed the disclaimer.” Chen Ge walked away from Jiang Ming. He actually wanted to tell Jiang Ming that compared to Ma Feng, if he had really personally sent anyone to the hospital, that person was Jiang Jiu.

After playing at the futuristic theme park’s haunted house a few more times, Chen Ge left the theme park after collecting about 10,000 points at the futuristic theme park’s haunted house ranking. Seeing his departing back, the workers at the haunted house were stunned beyond belief. Their technology like data analysis and visitor simulation had lost their uses against Chen Ge. A result of 10,000 points was something their system had predicted would only be reached after another half a year.

Hailing a cab, Chen Ge returned to New Century Park. He hurried back to the haunted house and went directly to the Prop Room. The already congested Prop Room appeared even more crowded. There were many items left in the corner. If one did not take a closer look, one would not have noticed them. It was as if these things had been there from the time the haunted house was built. “It somehow feels like they belonged to the haunted house to begin with.”

Chen Ge had no idea when these things appeared. It felt like someone had pushed open a certain door inside his haunted house and then deposited the items inside the Prop Room. “It should be my imagination taking over. Something like that would be noticed by the employees.”

Holding the black phone and reading the item descriptions for each of the rewards, he categorized the items that he had drawn into different piles.

At around 6 pm, the haunted house officially closed for the day. After all the living employees had left, Chen Ge took the comic and summoned most of the ghost employees to the first floor. If there was a lingering visitor that entered the haunted house at this moment, they probably would have their soul scared right out of their body. The already closed haunted house corridor was filled with people, and none of them had their make-up removed yet.

“Some of you have already worked for me for a very long time. From the initial discomfort to now becoming the central pillar of support of this place, your transformation is beyond my wildest expectations, and our haunted house is only becoming better and better because of all of you.” Chen Ge pushed open the door of the Prop Room. “I am very appreciative of everyone’s help, so I wanted to do something in return for all that you have done for me.”
