Chapter 744: Ladder
If you are in full bloom, butterflies will come.
Chen Ge's words hit the softest part of Qu Changlin's heart, and a seed took root in his heart.
The stranger's encouragement was in stark contrast to his boss's text messages. The bitterness deep in his heart for many years finally broke out, and Qu Changlin had a thought: "It's time for a change."
As soon as this idea appeared, it spread uncontrollably in his mind. He clenched his fists tightly, but after a while, he slowly calmed down again.
Life is not chicken soup. The prerequisite for realizing your dreams is to be able to survive.
Qu Changlin was a marginal employee in the Nightmare Academy. He was placed in the toilet with the strongest smell and no one wanted to go. He couldn't handle interpersonal relationships well, and he didn't have confidence in himself.
Thinking of this, he sighed softly: "I also want to change, but change requires courage and strength, and I don't have any of these..."
"You are just too unconfident. In my opinion, you have countless shining points, but you haven't met the person who can appreciate you. The scene you are in charge of is so scary, and the dolls in the scene are so scary. You can endure the pungent smell and control everything in the hint of the toilet. In my opinion, you have all the excellent qualities of a haunted house employee." Chen Ge slowed down a little: "I heard that there is a haunted house in the western suburbs of Jiujiang that has a special development. That’s right, it has the highest rating on the Internet, if you really want to change, you can try it there. Since you decide to change, luckily go for the best one, no matter what the final result is, at least you have tried your best.”
Qu Changlin took down Chen Ge's words and nodded slowly. In fact, he also had a little doubt, but he was relieved soon.
After all, this is the first time he has seen such an inspirational and positive tourist visiting a haunted house, so he will inevitably feel uncomfortable.
Prompted by Qu Changlin, Chen Ge carried him to the door of the dean's office: "The dean's office is here, then what?"
"You can just put me here." Qu Changlin clutched his mobile phone, he looked at the text messages sent by the boss above, and felt a little sorry for Chen Ge.
It's too much for the other party to enlighten me and help me plan my life, but I want to scare him with malice.
"Be careful yourself. By the way, leave a phone number. If you encounter any difficulties, you can call me." Chen Ge was very enthusiastic, and what he said made Qu Changlin even more uncomfortable.
"Okay." Just outside the dean's office, standing under the monitor, the two exchanged phone numbers.
"I've finished the plot, and I'm going to explore other scenes next, and there will be a period later." With a smile, Chen Ge took out the diary from his backpack and turned to the next scene.
Looking at Chen Ge's back, Qu Changlin didn't know what to say. He felt that there was a special power in that man, which could bring people hope and make people gentle and warm forever.
The mobile phone in his palm vibrated constantly, Qu Changlin looked down, it was his boss calling.
The other party seemed to have seen Chen Ge leave on the surveillance, so he dared to call directly.
After pressing the answer button, Qu Changlin heard his boss's roar before he could speak.
"What did you do! I have repeatedly emphasized that you must scare him! Don't make any mistakes! What about you? Look at what you have done?"
Qu Changlin held the phone and leaned against the door without making any sound.
"Speak up! What about the promise you made to me? Didn't you say that you must let him walk in and crawl out? What happened?" The boss was a little irritable, and he was also pissed off. The ace actor of his haunted house ran to someone else's house Visiting the haunted house, all three of them were frightened and fainted; now they ran to their own haunted house, and the actors in their own haunted house were frightened and stunned four more! Who can bear this matter?
"I said I must let him walk in, but I didn't say that he must be the one who crawled out. Now that he walked in and I crawled out, is this considered as keeping the promise?" Qu Changlin held the phone Putting it aside, he doesn't want to hear his boss's voice now, but it's very rude to hang up other people's calls.
"Tell me again?! Qu Changlin! Tell me again!" On the other side of the phone, the boss's voice was trembling with anger. Seeing that Qu Changlin didn't answer, he didn't even bother to hang up the phone. He took out the walkie-talkie and issued a death order to the haunted house actors in several other scenes: "No matter what method you use today, you must scare that tourist named Chen Ge for me! The reputation of the Nightmare Academy must not be ruined by him. superior!"
"Boss, he seems to have successfully cleared the previous scenes. I think it's a bit difficult to scare him."
"I don't want you to think, I want me to think! Gather them all for me!"
After the phone was hung up, Qu Changlin couldn't hear the boss's voice anymore. He leaned against the door, thinking about something alone.
...
"Classroom, sundries warehouse, toilet... Let me see where I should go next." Chen Ge opened the diary and began to read the fourth diary.
This diary is related to the corridor, and it records a very classic ghost story called the thirteenth step.
There are twelve steps on each floor of the Nightmare Academy, but at some special moments, there will be a thirteenth step, and everyone who steps on this step will see some strange things.
"When I first entered the haunted house, the staff kept reminding visitors to pay attention to the stairs. There must be many interesting mechanisms inside, which just opened my eyes. Maybe I can find an excellent employee like Qu Changlin. "
The toilet is next to the corridor, Chen Ge returned the same way and came to the stairs.
There is no lighting equipment installed in the corridor, the faint light is irradiated from the floor, the more you walk in, the more gloomy it is, and the corner between the two floors is even darker, you can't see anything.
"The steps are made of concrete. What do they have to do to get an extra level for no reason?" Chen Ge also wanted to master this "technique". He stuffed the diary into his backpack and entered the corridor without looking back.
The background music changed, and cold air came from all directions. Chen Ge walked up and silently counted the number of steps.
"One, two... Eleven, twelve, it's normal, there is no problem."
Chen Ge was a little disappointed. He went up two floors in one go, but the number of steps did not change: "Is my way of visiting wrong?"
He didn't care about the gazes of the "people" on the side, took out his diary and looked directly in the corridor: "There is no prompt, so how to trigger this scene?"
While Chen Ge was thinking, footsteps suddenly came from downstairs. He looked downstairs through the gap in the middle of the stairs, but no one went upstairs.
"Is it background music?"
Before Chen Ge could find the location of the stereo, he suddenly heard the voice of another child. The voice was erratic and kept repeating two words—Dad.
"Where did this sound come from?" Chen Ge's five senses are far superior to ordinary people, but he can't judge the specific location of the sound. The other party seems to use several different speakers to play it in different positions: "Pretend to be a ghost, don't hide , I saw you!"
Chen Ge put a ballpoint pen in his jacket pocket, and walked downstairs with a backpack in one hand.
