Chapter 261 Please Give Sadako some Face
The horror house, a row of storefronts in a square on the outskirts of the city, including the second and third floors and the basement, all belong to this horror house.
Now it is open every day, and there are hundreds of people queuing up at any time. It can be said that the business is booming.
This afternoon, Mo Qiong and Gou Ye came here wearing sunglasses and casual clothes.
Gou Ye even held a homemade cigarette in his mouth and walked in while smoking.
There were a lot of people waiting inside. You can see that the horror house also sells milk tea drinks, and basically everyone holds a cup.
Obviously, while waiting in line, you can also do other business to make money.
"Sir, you can't smoke here. You are affecting others." A female receptionist frowned.
"Ah? Sorry, sorry..." Gou Ye took out a small box from his pocket, stuffed the cigarette into it, and it went out, and then put it back in his pocket.
"Sir, you can choose the project you want to experience, and then buy a ticket and wait." The female receptionist said.
"Each wave of people is one hour. How long will it take for so many people to go?" Gou Ye complained.
The female receptionist smiled and said, "It will be quick."
Just after she finished speaking, a man ran out of the darkness from the entrance of the Grudge project, followed by a girl screaming and crawling out.
Some people were amazed at the miserable appearance of these two people, and they were eager to experience it themselves.
Some people seemed to be used to it, and instead talked about whether the couple might break up, because the man actually left the woman behind and ran out first!
Others said: "Wow, they only went in for two minutes. Did they run away as soon as they saw Kayako?"
"They must have stupidly seen Kayako in the living room and didn't know to hide in the kitchen at first."
"What's the point of hiding in the kitchen? You should go to the bathroom on the second floor."
"The bathroom is useless. You should rush to the bedroom and lock the door at first. Hide under the bed and never come out. I survived ten minutes like this!"
"Oh? Beauty, I haven't heard of this method of yours. How did you get out later?"
"Don't mention it. I always see children's feet running around under the bed. I was so scared that I lay there for ten minutes and didn't dare to move until I accidentally touched wet hair next to me under the bed..."
"Fuck! Kayako had already crawled under the bed from the secret passage?"
"That's right. God knows when she came. When I found Kayako lying next to me, I was scared to death."
"Alas, I don't think I can get the 30,000 yuan clearance reward. I almost lost 2,000 yuan."
Listening to the discussion of the crowd, Mo Qiong and Gou Ye looked at each other.
Obviously, the horror house here is different from other places. It can scare players away or make them faint, and then they will lose the qualification to continue the experience. Therefore, the customer flow is huge, and so many people don’t have to wait for a long time.
Many people are scared out as soon as they enter, and basically the experience ends in a few minutes.
If you want to go in again, you have to spend money again. One person has to pay 200 yuan. If five people go in as a group, they can earn 1,000 yuan in that trip.
If you make money every few minutes, think about how much you can earn in a day, it can be said to be a huge profit.
In particular, the project here has a clearance reward of 30,000 yuan. As long as you can persist for an hour or come out from the exit, you can get the 30,000 yuan reward from the boss.
People who play for the first time will feel that they are brave and will definitely not leave early. Spending 200 yuan to win 30,000 yuan is very attractive.
But the result is undoubtedly that they are often scared away in a few minutes. It is equivalent to using 200 yuan to experience a thrilling excitement that you have never experienced before.
Some people may be timid and stop playing after finding it so scary, but they will also spread the reputation of this place.
Some people are bolder and may not be willing to give up after their emotions recover after coming out, so they go to swipe again to give money.
Some people may find some patterns and find that hiding can make Kayako appear later. But in fact, Kayako has no fixed action restrictions. She just changes her tricks to scare people.
But even so, many people are still proud of being able to hold on for a few more minutes. Others come out in two or three minutes, but they hold on for ten minutes, which gives them a sense of accomplishment.
What if they pass the level?
Mo Qiong even suspected that the boss deliberately let those who swipe more hold on longer to give them hope and keep charging money.
"Then buy a ticket, just this curse." Mo Qiong took out the money.
Unexpectedly, Gou Ye shook his head and said, "No, play this."
As he said, he pointed to a project with the latest mark on the booklet: Midnight Ring.
Mo Qiong was stunned. If he thought of Midnight Ring, then the ghost should be Sadako, and the classic way of appearance should be crawling out of the TV.
Yes, as an experience hall, how does it achieve this?
"Okay, let's play The Ring."
Mo Qiong bought the ticket, and the two stood in the hall waiting for their turn.
He and Gou Ye had already checked that everyone here had heat, including the boss who occasionally brought people out in person, who was also a living person.
At least neither of them saw anything wrong with the boss.
In short, first figure out the tricks of this haunted house. This is in the city, and there are so many people on the scene. They will not alert the snake unless it is absolutely necessary.
After waiting for a while, waves of people ran out screaming, and waves of people went in eagerly.
There are also many people playing The Ring, after all, it is a new project.
However, when three consecutive waves of people fainted from fear and were carried out by the boss and another employee, several young people who were about to experience The Ring could not sit still.
"Boss, is this Ring scarier?" a young man asked.
"Almost, both are one-star scary." The boss laughed.
"Well, can we team up with more people?" The young man came with several friends, two men and two women.
They had never played before, and they were a little scared when they saw that few people lasted more than five minutes while sitting in line.
At this moment, he even wanted to bring more people in.
"Whatever, don't have too many people." The boss laughed. The more people there are in a trip, the more he earns, but the cost remains the same, so it's natural to be casual.
"Does anyone want to team up? This is our first time playing, and a few old players are here to lead us. We're about to go in, and we don't have to queue up if we go together." The young man shouted.
However, few people are willing to team up with others. Everyone came with friends, and they didn't care about not having to queue up, because the queue here is very fast.
But Mo Qiong and Gou Ye were very interested, and Gou Ye immediately said, "Come on, come together."
So far, they skipped more than a dozen waves of people and directly entered the Ring room with the four young men.
There was a dark corridor in the middle of the way. They had to walk about seven or eight steps in the corridor before they saw a door.
"Uh, do you want to wear sunglasses to go in?" the boss asked.
Others also thought it was too showy. Wearing sunglasses in a haunted house? It was pitch black here. Can you see?
Gou Ye smiled and said, "It's better if you can't see clearly, so you won't be afraid of ghosts."
The boss said, "Is that so? I had a friend with 800 degrees of myopia before. He felt more scared when he took off his glasses. I recommend that you see more clearly."
Gou Ye shrugged and said to the boss, "I heard that you are so exciting. I came here today with full preparation. I watched fifty horror movies to strengthen my courage. If it doesn't scare me, I will give a bad review."
The boss was stunned, but then smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as you don't damage the props. If you damage the props, I will compensate you tenfold."
"Then what if your actors scare me and I get excited and hit him?" Gou Ye asked again.
The boss raised his eyebrows. He had seen many people who claimed that they were not afraid of the ghosts played by the staff and threatened to kick the ghosts to death.
In the end, no one dared to attack the ghosts.
The boss said calmly: "Of course you can't hit my employees, otherwise you will not only have to pay money, but also be blacklisted in this horror house forever."
Gou Ye said, and followed the crowd into the darkness.
He walked through the dark corridor, pushed open the door, and rushed in first.
Judging from the decoration, it seemed to be an office lounge, with a sofa and a coffee table, and opposite was a low cabinet with an old-fashioned big-head TV on it.
Next to the sofa, there was also an old-fashioned landline phone.
In addition to these, there were many decorations in the room, which looked decent.
The two men and two women were still standing at the door and looking around vigilantly, and Mo Qiong and Gou Ye walked directly to the center.
Mo Qiong was checking the TV, and Gou Ye sat directly on the sofa, picked up the landline phone next to him and dialed Lin Tong's number.
"Hello?"
"You are..."
"I am your Gou Ye! I am playing in the haunted house. You know what, this phone call is still working." Gou Ye said with a smile.
"Uh..." Lin Tong was stunned.
Gou Ye said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm just playing, I'm hanging up."
After that, he hung up.
The four people in the team also came here because of his reputation. They had never played before. Seeing Gou Ye so leisurely, they felt much more relaxed.
"What a conscience, can this phone call be used to make calls outside?"
"Can you also make long-distance calls?"
"Haha, we can bankrupt the owner of the haunted house."
The four people laughed and relaxed, and checked the things in this room.
Everyone knows about the Ring, and naturally they also know about the videotape curse.
And the videotape was placed on top of the TV.
Mo Qiong walked over, picked up the videotape, and was about to play it.
Suddenly, the TV turned on by itself, and a picture of white snowflakes appeared on it.
"Zizizizi..."
"Damn!" The four people were startled.
Then a slightly plump girl screamed again.
"What? Isn't it just that the TV turns on automatically? It's an old trick. Someone can do it secretly with a remote control. What's your name?" said a thin man.
"It...it..." The slightly plump girl pointed at the TV and stuttered.
Mo Qiong squatted down and answered for her: "The TV plug is on the ground, it's not plugged in."
Everyone was shocked and found that the TV really had no power at all.
Gou Ye sat on the sofa and smiled: "This kind of big-headed TV, it's easy to modify it and put a charging board inside. Give me 500 yuan and I can make one."
After listening to Gou Ye's explanation, everyone also showed a look of relief.
Mo Qiong said: "This videotape has been played and has been put at the end."
Old-fashioned videotapes can tell whether the tape inside is at the beginning, middle, or end.
Gou Ye smiled and said: "So we are playing the role of people who have watched the videotape as soon as we come in, so the phone should ring immediately, right?"
As soon as the voice fell, Gou Ye suddenly grabbed the phone and put it on the table.
"What are you doing?" the thin man asked in surprise.
"You're occupying the line, so Sadako can't fight back?" Gou Ye said as a matter of course.
"Uh..." The four of them looked at each other, which seemed to make sense.
This is just an experience center, there are no real ghosts. Isn't it the midnight bell? If the most critical phone call is not made, the entire horror routine will lose a key node. Will the rest of the content be forced to continue?
"Ring ring ring..." Suddenly, the phone on the table rang rapidly.
"What! Why is it still ringing!"
Everyone looked at the phone in horror. Mr. Gou said with a smile: "So you thought there would be a gangster, so you hid the recording in the phone? This haunted house is really conscientious."
Gou Ye pressed the speakerphone and heard a rustling sound of electricity.
"Hey! I'm your Mr. Gou, talk!"
"Shashasha..."
"Sadako, I know it's you who's calling. Tell us what's on your mind. I'm listening."
"Shashasha..."
Everyone was speechless, and finally there was a bit of a scary atmosphere, but Master Gou immediately destroyed it.
The thin man finally couldn't help but said: "Hey, don't be like this. It's not easy for a boss to open a house of horrors. Let's just feel the atmosphere. Sadako doesn't want to lose face, right?"
Mr. Gou tilted his head and smiled: "Do you want thirty thousand dollars?"
The thin man burst into laughter upon hearing this. I think so, there is no fear in playing like this, and I will definitely get 30,000 yuan.
However, at this moment, the TV suddenly became louder, attracting everyone's attention. Then, the snowflakes on the screen faded a bit, and pictures of volcanic eruptions, women combing their hair, and eyes with the word "Zhen" printed on them began to appear. Flashed alternately.
Finally, it stopped at the image of a well.
"Come on, come on! Hurry up and sit down and watch TV. Mo Qiong is here, the main show is here." Master Gou shouted.
Mo Qiong smiled and also sat on the sofa.
The other four people gathered on another sofa, close together.
When they saw the sitting postures of Mo Qiong and Gou Ye, they couldn't help but be stunned.
I saw the two of them wearing sunglasses, crossed their legs, put their right ankle on the left knee, crossed their hands and fingers in front of them, and sat firmly with their backs against the sofa.
This posture, this demeanor, is simply like sitting on the sofa with two admirals of the Navy Headquarters.
…
p.s: Sorry. After coding four thousand words, Sadako still didn’t appear...
