Chapter 33: I'll remember this...
The haunted house has a new employee.
Zhang Ze did not tell Shen Yue about the door and the vengeful ghost.
Zhang Ze was worried that telling her all this at once would upset her, since it's best for ordinary people to live in a rational and normal world.
Zhang Ze explained the crow's nest scene directly using virtual reality technology.
"Have you heard of that virtual futuristic amusement park in the eastern suburbs of Hanjiang City? I used to work there, and it even uses a lot of advanced foreign technology..."
"Hiss... How do you explain this..."
Have you played Genshin Impact? No? That's okay, I haven't played it either. Anyway, the principle is the same: using virtual reality technology to build a space and creating various horror elements within that space.
Shen Yue stared at Zhang Ze for a long time with her bright, sparkling eyes.
Did you hear me?
"I've taken it to heart."
"Well, alright, I see you don't care about this. Anyway, just remember that those two employees in the scene, Lao Zhou and Li Yang, aren't real people. They're artificial intelligence created by collecting data from real people. You can consult them if anything happens. If I'm not around, just ask them."
"Boss, will you be away?"
Zhang Ze nodded. "I'm usually quite busy. If you can't find me, just ask those two old employees. If it's an emergency... you can also ask the owner of that haunted house across the street."
"Huh? Why? Isn't he our competitor?" Shen Yue asked, puzzled. "Is the owner of the haunted house across the street a nice guy?"
"He/She's... really a nice person!"
……
The haunted house has a new employee.
The operating efficiency has improved significantly.
Although Shen Yue usually looks a bit frivolous, she is actually quite dedicated to her work. She takes selling tickets very seriously and also arranges for tourists to queue up.
In addition, Shen Yue is quite good-looking.
Although Zhang Ze didn't quite appreciate it.
Youth is like a bowl of rice; someone always has to eat it.
Shen Yue's mere presence in the ticket hall was enough to draw attention.
Sales revenue skyrocketed.
Zhang Ze was able to extricate himself from the situation and investigate the videotape.
The videotapes have two numbers, 008 and 009, the same as the previously numbered 021 lost media. Zhang Ze reasonably suspects that the contents of these two videotapes are also lost media.
Therefore, Zhang Ze had been looking for someone to repair the videotapes.
By repairing these two videotapes, Zhang Ze might be able to trigger a new paranormal mission and unlock new scenes.
However, after searching all over the western suburbs of Hanjiang City and visiting numerous digital stores marked on the map, the answer was always the same...
"It can't be fixed."
Goodbye.
"There's nothing we can do."
After running around so much, Zhang Ze was exhausted, but he still couldn't find a single company confident in repairing the videotapes.
After much difficulty, we finally found a place deep in an old street not far from the Xicheng Police Station. The person on duty was an old man with glasses and a face full of wrinkles.
Zhang Ze placed the two videotapes in front of him, and the man examined them carefully for a long time before offering a price.
"One million to fix the two videotapes."
Zhang Ze almost choked him to death with a mouthful of soda.
"One million? Why don't you just rob someone?"
The old man shrugged, looking like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water. "Look at the state of your videotape. The tape is all worn out, and the mechanical structure is almost completely destroyed. A million is a fire sale price."
Zhang Ze: ……
He really doesn't have that much money.
The haunted house did make money; he earned 20,000 yuan in just a few days. But all he had in his pocket was less than 500,000 yuan, not even half of that.
We had no choice but to give up for the time being.
the other side.
Chen Ge's progress was also very rapid.
"Zhang Ze's haunted house is developing so fast..."
In the middle of the night, Chen Ge stared at Zhang Ze's haunted house through the window, feeling as if countless eyes were staring at him, but there was clearly nothing there except for countless crows circling nearby.
Chen Ge also analyzed the reasons for Zhang Ze's success.
The technology is advanced, the setting involves ghost stories, and like him, the case uses real-life prototypes.
The revolution is not yet complete; comrades, we must continue our efforts!
My gaze fell on the taskbar of the black phone.
"Xicheng Private School..."
"Zhang Ya's Favorability Quest"
"Zhang Ya..."
For some reason, Chen Ge pictured a slender girl in a school uniform with unusually long hair that seemed to cover half her body, and he subconsciously shivered.
To be honest, it would be a lie to say I wasn't afraid.
But as the saying goes, fortune favors the bold.
The West Side Private School is a scene that gets screamed at 2 stars.
It's even more terrifying than Midnight Escape and the ghost marriage scene that incorporates elements from "Wedding Dress".
To defeat Zhang Ze, Chen Ge needed to unlock an even more terrifying scenario, so he naturally set his sights on this new scenario.
If Zhang Ze knew Chen Ge's thoughts, he would probably agree with them.
West Side Private Schools only gets a 2-star rating for scream factor.
But that's part of a haunted school with a 4-star scream factor.
It's enough for Chen Ge to take the risk and go.
"Uncle Sanbao said that Zhang Peng, the murderer in the family massacre case, has not yet been caught, and the thing in the mirror has not yet been brought back either. It would be a bit too hasty to unlock new scenes now."
"But if we're too slow, we really won't be able to surpass Zhang Ze."
"Time is life, efficiency is money... Let's do it!"
……
One night.
Zhang Ze went out to find a digital store to repair videotapes as usual, leaving Shen Yue to mind the store alone.
Shen Yue sat in the ticket hall, her manicured fingers swiping across the screen. The short videos featured various handsome men with abs. Suddenly, a black figure appeared in front of her.
"Sorry, we're closed. Please come again tomorrow!"
Shen Yue didn't even look up, and said casually.
The other person did not leave; they remained standing in the same spot, without saying a word.
Shen Yue then looked up and saw a man wearing a baseball cap with his hands in his pockets. Based on her experience of having tattoos herself, Shen Yue felt that this man also had tattoos on his hands.
"Hello……"
"I heard that the owner of the haunted house at New Century Amusement Park once solved a family annihilation case, but when I came in, I saw two haunted houses. Which haunted house owner is so powerful?"
"I want to experience how terrifying the haunted house owner's scenes are, where you can solve crimes."
That's a strange question.
Shen Yue was a little surprised.
But when Shen Yue saw the man in the baseball cap pull out a wad of cash, she was stunned.
Although I don't know what's wrong with this strange person...
However, judging from what he said, it seems he wants to find a haunted house to visit.
Since that's the case, as Boss Zhang's most capable employee, Shen Yue should naturally help Zhang Ze attract customers!
Shen Yue immediately had an idea and blurted it out:
"Of course, it's my boss's haunted house!"
"Sir, you've come here because of my reputation, haven't you? My boss is quite capable. He's been featured in the news before. He's connected to some case in the western suburbs, which should be the case you're talking about."
"Come visit tomorrow, and I'll give you a 20% discount!"
The man in the baseball cap's face darkened, a cruel smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
"Okay, I've got it..."
