Chapter 303 Under the Red Clothes (2)
Chen Ge was very engaged, but when he turned to the next page, only blank space came into his eyes.
"No more?" He looked at the date handwritten by the cartoonist on the last page, and took the notebook next to him.
Taking out the yellowed newspaper, Chen Ge compared the date of the newspaper.
The day after the painting was finished, the cartoonist had an accident, and the newspaper should have been stuffed by the old lady or a few other tenants.
"His dream stayed on that day."
Sitting by the bed with a handmade comic booklet, Chen Ge gained a new understanding of the ghosts he met tonight.
The five stories tell the past of the five people in room 304, and none of them were bad people during their lifetimes.
Chen Ge's initial guess was that the ghosts in the album affected reality, but after reading the cartoonist's own story, he figured out that the truth was that the ghosts in reality were hiding in his cartoons.
"To be taken care of by a few specious ghosts in the rented house, this uncle is also quite powerful." Chen Ge turned the comic to the fifth story, and he said to the dejected middle-aged uncle, "I know you are unwilling, you I want my comics to be seen by more people and liked by more people, and I can help you do it all."
The uncle in the album who picked up his legs and shrunk in the corner, heard Chen Ge's words, his ears moved, and he seemed to want to turn his head.
"There is really something wrong with this comic, it should be able to let ghosts rest on it."
The ghosts and remnants under the red clothes can only be preserved for a long time if they are placed on a certain item. The back thirty pages of the cartoonist's album are all blank. If this thing can be placed on the ghosts, then Chen Ge will never have to memorize it again. He ran around with a big bag, and even took the twenty-four students from Muyang Middle School out for a walk.
Thinking of this, Chen Ge was a little moved, "Uncle, you and the characters in your writing have a wish that is unfinished. It's better to say it, and I can help you make up for your regrets during your lifetime."
In order to increase his persuasion, Chen Ge gave many examples, such as publishing all the cartoons of the cartoonist, helping the salesman to kill the ghost who brought him bad luck, finding the gambler's lost left hand, and visiting family members whom the English teacher hadn't seen for many years. and many more.
Chen Ge was moved by emotion and reason, and the middle-aged man in the album finally turned his body.
On his standard middle-aged frustrated face, with a lifeless smile, he looked at Chen Ge with a skeptical attitude.
After a few minutes,
A few Chinese characters appeared under the cartoon.
"Please take care of me."
At the same time, the black mobile phone vibrated lightly, and Chen Ge did not shy away from the middle-aged man, and opened the reminder message in front of him.
"Lucky ghost patron! Congratulations on getting the strongest ghost under the red!"
"Yan Danian is a rare and special type of Specter."
"The ability is a fierce ghost and friendly (he looks dejected, which is really unbearable to bully)."
"The ability to draw the soul (after witnessing the Specter, there is a certain probability that he will be dragged into the painting, except for the red clothes)."
"Ability three???"
After seeing the prompt message on the black phone, Chen Ge's eyes widened.
He couldn't imagine that in the comics, the uncle who was wearing a white vest, sitting alone in the corner, his face overflowing when he was unhappy, turned out to be the strongest ghost in red!
"Hidden away!"
It was the first time that Chen Ge had seen a Specter with three abilities, but the appearance of this Specter was simply embarrassing to all Specter.
Yin Xiaoxiao is trying to look fierce every day, but this uncle just gave up on the treatment, he has no dignity at all, he is very sad, weak, tangled and decadent, and his face is full of unhappiness.
"The third ability has not been unlocked yet. That ability should be the key to Uncle's ability to dominate all the Specter under the red shirt."
Everyone is an adult, and Chen Ge also understands the meaning of the cartoonist. The other party has not fully trusted him. It is estimated that the uncle will officially become an employee of the haunted house after his wish is completed.
"Uncle is good at painting, and his style is a perfect match for the haunted house."
"In addition to him, there are other ghosts in the comic book, buy one get four free, and usually let them help with cleaning and arranging props. At critical moments, they can also be pulled out to be actors. It's really good to put these ghosts in a haunted house. It couldn't be more appropriate."
A smile finally appeared on Chen Ge's face, and he said from the bottom of his heart, "Brother, I already understand your wish, and I will help you realize your dream!"
After putting away all the paintings in the house, Chen Ge stuffed the painting tools on the table into his backpack, and then walked out of the narrow bedroom.
"It's time to say goodbye."
He closed the door of Room 304 and walked out of the corridor. When he passed the bushes next to him, there was a light shadow that entered the picture album, like the old lady who escaped just now.
Taking a taxi back to New Century Paradise, Chen Ge entered the scene of the Haunted House Muyang Middle School. He took the picture book and explained the situation to all the puppets, and then left regardless of whether they understood or not.
"Several ghosts in the comic book have no intention of harming people, and they can greatly enrich the haunted house and solve the problem of shortage of manpower. Yan Danian himself has three abilities. After completing his wish and unlocking the strongest ability, he said Maybe he can give me a surprise."
Back in the staff lounge, Chen Ge logged into his short video platform account again after a few days. The live broadcast room was still closed, but his followers had soared to 510,000.
There were constant private messages in the background, and people were asking Chen Ge every hour.
"It seems that everyone still cares about me."
The first wave of exposure of the House of Horrors came through short videos, and Chen Ge was not going to waste this great publicity channel.
He opened the album, carefully selected, and took a few of the most bizarre pictures: "Brother, I'm about to show your paintings in front of half a million people, and this is just the first step for me to promote you. Times are different, a few years ago You personally went to the publishing house and begged them to publish, and now I will let them come to you on their own initiative."
Chen Ge is not worried that Yan Danian's paintings are not liked. Only by actually seeing his paintings can he understand the strange feeling.
It is a style that cannot be changed, and the characters in the paintings seem to be the way they were when they died.
Chen Ge first shot a few short videos in the haunted house, strongly announcing his return. At the same time, he started serializing the horror comic Linglou Ghost Guest in the platform community under the name of Yan Danian.
Soon, Chen Ge's comment area exploded, and offline and online promotions were linked together. In just ten minutes, the name of Jiujiang Xijiao Horror House appeared on the platform's hot list, and it was a kind of The speed of terror began to climb.
