Chapter 1615: Steady As an Old Dog On The Surface, But In Reality...
Bao Xu asked, “Boss Pei, you should have the design plan for the new project of the haunted house, right? I want to take a look.”
Pei Qian nodded imdiately and found the design plan for the new project of the haunted house on his computer.
Chen Kangtuo, Ruan Guangjian, and Ma Yiqun had designed this project together. However, since it was a plan for Thriller Hostel, it had to be finalized for Boss Pei.
Pei Qian briefly looked at this plan at that ti and felt that it was very promising. Thus, he did not raise any opinions and passed directly.
It was completely understandable for Bao Xu to want to see this plan now. After all, he was really going to enter this haunted house to be the first experience master. It was understandable for him to understand the situation inside in advance.
However, Pei Qian did not expect Bao Xu to skip to the interactive content instead of looking at the details carefully after receiving this plan.
The haunted house this ti was called a ‘foreign traveler’. The storyline was not complicated. It was about a group of tourists from foreign countries coming to a dinsional strange Jingzhou and staying in Thriller Hostel.
However, the industries that they could co into contact with, including Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Fish-Catching Take-Out, Deposit Fitness, and so on, had all beco places of sinister and terrifying ghosts and monsters. Their nas had also changed. They had beco Demon Prison Internet Cafe, Demon Prison Take-Out, coffin dragging fitness, and so on.
Other than that, there were many more intuitive and terrifying marginal areas, such as the abyss of evil spirits and the River of the Underworld. It was even more thrilling!
There were only two ways to escape this terrifying world. One was to survive for a certain period of ti, and the other was to look for clues to leave the puzzle.
This project could be participated by one person or more people. The difficulty would change.
The staff played the role of various ghosts and monsters, scaring the tourists. Every area had a special ghost. Most of the ti, they only patrolled their own territory. If the tourists wanted to get clues, they had to avoid these ghosts and monsters.
However, under special circumstances, these ghosts and monsters could also gather together. That depended on so special chanisms in the ga.
For example, if visitors found a key clue, the ghosts and monsters would gather together to be cleared. The visitors would have to hide patiently so that they would not be discovered.
Under such a chanism, tourists could actually do a lot of things. They could choose to split up, each of them would be in charge of a region to quickly collect clues, and then summarize and solve the code. They could also choose to take the key clues first. After individual warriors lured all the ghosts and monsters away, the others would go to the corresponding location to search for other clues.
The staff acting as ghosts and monsters would not be like robots, maintaining a fixed path. They could make so adjustnts and changes within a certain range of rules according to their own preferences, making the entire ga more nervous and exciting. It was unpredictable.
Bao Xu scanned the first part of the riddle briefly. He focused all his attention on the subsequent part of the ghost assignnt.
After morizing all of those things, Bao Xu pondered for a mont and said, “Boss Pei, I hope to assign two people to the list of employees to act as ghosts and monsters.
“One is the role actor who will appear directly on the list, and Qiao Liang will take it. The other role actor who will also enter the haunted house will be played by Ruan Guangjian, who will not appear on the list.”
“I want to talk to them in private and separately.”
Pei Qian nodded. “Alright.”
...
...
July 24th, Wednesday.
Thriller Hostel’s new haunted house project, ‘foreign traveler’, officially entered the testing phase of the closed beta.
Since it was the beta stage, it was not open to the public this ti. Instead, it was open to Bao Xu as the chief experience officer of this project to experience the entire project.
According to Chen Kangtuo’s plan, he naturally hoped that Bao Xu would stay in the ‘foreign traveler’ project for a month.
After all, he had suffered for two months during the Suffering Travels. That was half of it.
However, Chen Kangtuo and the other people in charge agreed unanimously that the beta testing event would end early as long as Brother Bao could find clues as soon as possible and leave this place.
After all, they were not real demons. They still had the brotherly feelings of the person-in-charge towards Brother Bao.
Thus, the internal beta event might not last long. It might be a month or a week. This depended completely on Brother Bao’s speed of clearing it.
Of course, the people in charge would also deliberately adjust this speed. They would not let Brother Bao pass so easily.
That was especially so considering that Brother Bao might have secretly seen the design plan of the entire project and had a rough idea of the possible locations of many clues. He had to make this project achieve the desired effect.
When the people in charge considered acting as ghosts and monsters, they could change the location of the clues slightly to make the entire ga more nervous and exciting. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be very embarrassing if Brother Bao cleared it in two days?
Many people in charge participated enthusiastically under Chen Kangtuo’s call. Even Qiao Liang signed up enthusiastically.
Qiao Liang was famous for being timid. In order to pass the Ultimate Horror project, he had experienced an intense ntal battle. The enthusiasm for registration this ti made Chen Kangtuo feel the sa anger as everyone else. Thus, he readily agreed.
Chen Kangtuo had custom-made clothes for the people in charge. They could dress up as ghosts.
The props were well-made. They would be extrely scary in the dark and scary environnt of the haunted house.
However, it was not a big problem for him to wear it. As long as he did not look into the mirror, everything was fine.
At that mont, Chen Kangtuo was communicating with the people in charge in Thriller Hostel’s office.
“I’ll verify it one last ti. Everyone, be responsible for your own areas and rember the chanisms inside. Don’t scare yourself.”
“Each of us will send a small communication device. I will give commands in real ti in the earphones. Everyone can move freely usually, but you must follow my instructions when you hear the instructions.”
“We have to keep Brother Bao company this ti, understand?”
The people in charge said in unison, “Understood!”
Among these people in charge were Xiao Peng, Rui Yuchen, Huang Sibo, Guo Licheng, and so on. There were also so other people in charge, such as Min Jingchao and the others, who had wanted to co but could not leave because they were busy with work. Thus, they could only wish that the closed beta event was completed.
Every area had various chanisms with a certain trigger chanism.
The staff acting as ghosts had to rember all sorts of chanisms in advance to avoid triggering them. Or at the very least, they had to be ntally prepared in advance. They would not be scared even if they were triggered.
Otherwise, if the tourists did not co, he would accidentally turn himself into high blood pressure and nervous failure. How could that be?
Xiao Peng smiled. “Don’t worry. We’ve been looking forward to this day for a long ti! What’s more, we’ve already seen the detailed plan. We even went on a field trip two days ago. It’s definitely foolproof!”
Chen Kangtuo nodded.
The difference between these people in charge and Bao Xu was that Bao Xu might only be able to find out a portion of the design plan. It should be very difficult to see the complete plan. Even if he saw the complete plan, he would not be able to inspect the venue.
There was a huge difference between a design plan and a field trip for a haunted house.
Many scary things were visual. After seeing it once, the next ti you see it, the scary effect would be greatly reduced.
The people in charge had already explored the haunted house a few tis two days ago. They knew the locations of various key props and chanisms.
Compared to Bao Xu who was entering for the first ti, he had the advantage no matter what.
At that thought, Chen Kangtuo gave the order. “Alright, everyone, go and put on your props. Let’s gather inside.”
...
Half an hour later, the people in charge were in their positions.
Each of them was in charge of a small area. What’s more, they were wearing a set of ghosts and monsters. It was very similar to the style of this area. They could blend in perfectly with the surroundings and it would be very difficult to be discovered.
That gave them a huge advantage in the battle.
The ghost costus had many functions. Not only could these people in charge wear bluetooth earphones to communicate with each other at any ti, but they also had a mini speaker on them that could make terrifying sounds.
That way, tourists would not be forced to approach them, and the person-in-charge who was playing the ghost would not be able to scare tourists away.
“Everyone, get into position. Brother Bao entered through the main door.”
Chen Kangtuo’s voice ca from the earphones. The people in charge were imdiately on guard. So hid in the chanisms, while others found a corner to integrate with the environnt and waited patiently for Bao Xu to arrive.
...
At that mont, Bao Xu walked into the entrance of the foreign traveler with his head held high.
On the surface, he looked calm. However, he was actually very flustered.
Bao Xu might have briefly seen the design plan for the entire project but there was still a huge difference between morizing the design plan and experiencing it personally.
Looking at the sinister layout around him, he felt like he was stepping into a mysterious, unknown, and dangerous space. The fear deep in his heart was naturally stimulated, making it difficult to remain calm.
However, Bao Xu was also trying hard to tell himself that there must be caras everywhere here. Chen Kangtuo’s group must be watching his movents and preparing to laugh at him. Thus, he must not show his fear.
There was a long passage from the entrance.
The design of the ‘foreign traveler’ project this ti was different from the previous project.
Previously, the three haunted house projects had been modified directly from a single abandoned factory. The factory used by the Ultimate Horror was the biggest.
This “foreign traveler” project used several factory buildings, but they were all connected with special passages in the middle.
That way, tourists would not have to worry about feeling like they were in a show when they went from one factory building to another. At the sa ti, they would create a dangerous and depressed atmosphere of horror, making people feel like they were completely trapped in a ti and space that was isolated from the world.
After a long passage, Bao Xu felt that his tense nerves could not take it anymore.
The central area of this project was the largest. It could also be regarded as the so-called living area. There were more common industries such as Fish-Catching Internet Cafe and Fish-Catching Take-Out.
There were even more dangerous locations scattered around. For example, the River of the Underworld, the abyss of the evil spirits, and so on. They were all places where difficult clues were. They had to pass through so passages to arrive.
Tourists would walk down the long corridor from the entrance to the center of the haunted house. After entering, the long corridor would temporarily close.
Thus, even though there were no scary ghosts or monsters after walking for such a long ti in the terrifying passage, a lot of ntal stress had accumulated.
When he reached the end of the long corridor, the gate behind him cracked loudly.
When it rang, tourists would probably not be able to stop themselves from screaming. This was the first scare that the new project of ‘foreign traveler’ gave people.
