Chapter 298 Haunted House Opens (First Update)
While the beautiful country is making a fuss over its fight against the Jieco Group, the Jieco Group is still developing step by step.
……
In an ordinary apartment building in Yangcheng, the capital of the Zen Kingdom.
Min Xingyao was eating breakfast and said to his wife: "Lisa, I'm going on a business trip to Mandecheng the day after tomorrow."
"Mande City, isn't there news recently that the situation there is turbulent?"
His wife Lisa suddenly frowned. Her husband worked as a salesperson in a machinery company. Although his income was not much, he could still make ends meet.
"Don't believe the Zen government's propaganda. The security environment there is very good."
Min Xingyao bit the bread and explained: "On the one hand, I was needed by the company to talk about procurement cooperation with the subsidiaries of Jieke Group. On the other hand, a new haunted house was opened over there. It was said that it was a success, at least there were With a reward of 10,000 US dollars, I plan to go there and give it a try. Our mother’s condition has been delayed, so we have to raise enough money for treatment as soon as possible.”
Min Xingyao's tone was a little heavy. He and his wife were very loving, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law were also very kind to him.
Now my wife has a problem at home. Her mother-in-law was diagnosed with a tumor six months ago. However, due to lack of money, she has been unable to undergo surgery. She can only watch her lose weight day by day.
This time he saw an opportunity and decided to give it a try. Ten thousand US dollars was enough to pay for his mother-in-law's surgery.
"Is this reliable?"
Lisa was a little skeptical. If she successfully broke through the haunted house, she would be rewarded with 10,000 US dollars. That was such a good thing.
"The haunted house is opened by Jieke Group. Are you still worried that others can't afford the money?"
Min Xingyao's words left Lisa speechless.
Nowadays in the Zen Kingdom, who doesn’t know that Jieke Group is rich and wealthy, much richer than the Zen Government.
With the strength of Jieke Group, it is absolutely impossible for them to default on their debts.
……
"Nightmare Paradise" will have its grand opening on August 18. The most realistic and exciting horror scenes, lifelike ghosts and monsters, and layers of mechanisms will bring you the most perfect sensory experience of fear. Participate now and you can win rewards by completing levels, with a minimum of 10,000 US dollars and a maximum of one million US dollars. You will become rich overnight. It is right before your eyes. Come and play together. 》
Chenla Kingdom, which borders Zen Kingdom, when this advertisement was played on TV.
Among the group of civilians who were watching TV, many people began to make moves.
"The $10,000 bonus, is it real or fake?"
"It is certified by Jieke Group. It is a big company. Tianyuan Hair Growth Serum is produced by them, so it will not be a lie."
"I remember that our country and Zen are visa-free. It should be very convenient in the past."
Suddenly, many people were moved. Their per capita GDP in Zhenla was less than 2,000 US dollars. In other words, if they could successfully break through, the lowest level of bonus would be enough to cover their salary for several years.
Some people started taking action immediately, and more people were still waiting and watching. Even so, the crowd gathered together was quite large.
Similar scenes occurred in many countries and regions.
Jieke Group advertised Nightmare Paradise loudly, and coupled with the attraction of high bonuses, it attracted a group of tourists.
…………
Huaguo, Douyu live streaming platform.
"Haha, sister Ding Ding destroyed another horror game."
"As expected of Sister Ding Ding. When I played the game "Rot", I was scared to the point of screaming. Sister Ding Ding played through the game with an expressionless face throughout. She is really awesome."
"Sister Calm Ding, when will you become the number one sister in the horror anchor area!"
The barrage kept passing by, and there were thousands of real viewers in the live broadcast room.
"Thanks to all my family members for their support. I will stop broadcasting today. I also want to inform you that in the next few days, I am going to travel to Zen International Travel. I will give you a surprise when I come back."
Shen Xueqing took off her headset and spoke into the microphone.
As a female anchor who plays horror games on the Douyu platform, in addition to her superb appearance, in this increasingly involved industry, other female anchors use various frightened and screaming reactions to attract the audience. Shen Xueqing did the opposite, focusing on being calm and expressionless.
No matter how scary the games and horror movies are, she never frowns or shows any fear during the whole process. She slowly builds a reputation and is called the Calm Sister, attracting a group of viewers.
"Sister Ding, are you going to attend the opening event of Nightmare Paradise?"
"Many anchors and bloggers have been invited recently, including many big anchors. This Jieke Group is really rich!"
"As for the gimmick with a maximum of one million US dollars, I don't know if Sister Ding Ding can get it. I think with Sister Ding Ding's strength, she has a good chance!"
"Remember to edit the video when you come back. I want to see if the so-called largest haunted house in the world is just an illusion."
Amid the discussion among netizens, Shen Xueqing turned off the live broadcast and stood up from her seat.
Shen Xueqing has been a veteran horror movie fan since she was a child. As she grew up, her threshold for fear became higher and higher. Gradually, any horror movies, horror movies and horror games were unable to stimulate her senses.
When Shen Xueqing first came into contact with the live broadcasting industry, Shen Xueqing also wanted netizens to recommend more horror games and movies to her so that she could regain her original love for horror and excitement.
Unfortunately, this small request has not been fulfilled so far.
"The largest haunted house in the world, I hope you won't disappoint me."
Muttering to herself, Shen Xueqing was actually different from what netizens had guessed. She did not receive promotion fees from Jieke Group. She was purely curious about this nightmare paradise, which is known as the world's largest haunted house, and wanted to see the other party's advertisements. Fei, is it really the real thing?
If it were those ghost pretenders with insincere leather cases and make-up, rough environment, and fakeness, even if the other party was a large multinational company like the Jieke Group, she would make a video to complain about it.
August 18, 24.
In the Zen Kingdom of Mandalay, the major hotels are full of tourists. Their purpose is very clear, and that is to come for the Nightmare Paradise.
Shen Xueqing arrived at the entrance of Nightmare Paradise in the morning.
A large number of tourists and locals have gathered here, and Shen Xueqing also saw many fellow anchors and video bloggers who were invited here after receiving money from the Jieke Group.
"Wow, Sister Ding Ding"
A small exclamation came, and then Shen Xueqing saw a sweet and cute girl covering her mouth and looking at her in surprise.
"Sister Ding Ding, I am your fan, can I take a photo with you?"
The girl ran over with a bound, her cute little apple face flushed with excitement.
"Of course, but you should call me Sister Shen." Shen Xueqing saw strange looks from many people nearby. Many people here in Chan Kingdom can speak Chinese and can understand the conversation.
"Okay, Sister Shen, my name is Su Su. I was originally traveling in Siam. I heard that a nightmare park has opened here, so I stopped by to play."
Su Su had a lively personality and chatted endlessly with Shen Xueqing.
On the other side, Min Xingyao, who had finished his work, also rushed over, waiting for the opening of this haunted house.
When the time came to eight o'clock in the morning, Nightmare Paradise officially opened, and a large number of tourists waiting outside immediately entered in waves.
When they actually entered the Nightmare Paradise, the scenes inside made all the tourists' eyes widen.
There are many huge buildings here, with tattered walls, moss and weeds growing in the corners, and even saplings growing in some places.
Most of the steps at the entrance to the building are very worn and broken in some places. Before you even get close, you can smell an old, musty smell.
On the balcony, you can see some shabby strips of cloth hanging here and there, like bloody clothes that cannot be washed clean, or like white mourning clothes. When the wind blows, they make a hunting sound.
"It's so exaggerated. It covers an area of several hundred acres, and the atmosphere is created so well."
Su Su looked around in surprise, feeling that it was an eye-opener.
“Really good.”
There was a hint of excitement in Shen Xueqing's eyes. Judging from the appearance, this place was carefully thought out.
At this time, a staff member came to receive us and explained the procedures for visiting the haunted house.
"Our haunted house is divided into five different difficulty levels, Normal, Hard, Nightmare, Hell, and Unsolvable. The bonuses for clearing the levels are also different. Generally speaking, we recommend that you clear the early levels first, and then challenge the haunted houses of higher difficulty later. , as for the Hell and Unsolvable Haunted Houses, these two are open for a limited time. For example, if they open today, if anyone can successfully pass the level, they can directly challenge the next two haunted houses with unlimited difficulty."
A staff member gave a detailed explanation and brought a dozen people to a haunted house.
This is a five-story building that occupies a large area. As soon as you approach it, you can smell the smell of disinfectant.
"This haunted house is called the Crying House. In the past, this building was a maternal and child hospital. It treated many pregnant women and delivered many newborns. It was later abandoned for unknown reasons. There are only three bloody fingerprints left. You need to find them. Rub these three bloody handprints on paper and bring them to the dean's office on the top floor, so that you can successfully pass the level. ”
As the staff said, they also took out a stack of notices, mainly to prevent heart disease patients and those with hidden diseases of sudden death from entering, so as to avoid uncontrollable accidents.
"In addition, these are immersive AI glasses specially developed by our Nightmare Park. When you enter and play, these glasses cannot be taken off."
The staff took out another pair of glasses, which were a bit like the 3D glasses in a movie theater.
"These glasses can bring you a whole new experience. Once you take off the glasses, it will be judged that you have failed to pass the level, and our staff will take you out."
When the staff said this, they shuddered inexplicably, thinking of the last time they were arranged to experience a haunted house adventure in order to train their business abilities.
Let's put it this way, when he was holding himself up the stairs, he was paralyzed by fear and his hands and feet were weak and he couldn't use his strength.
"I am the anchor. I heard that your nightmare park allows limited shooting. Can I bring a portable camera in?"
Shen Xueqing pointed to the portable camera clipped to her collar. Most haunted houses would not allow filming.
Because once you lose the sense of mystery and know the scare points and links in the haunted house, it will become very easy to break through the haunted house.
"Of course."
The staff confirmed again and emphasized: "Our haunted house is very scary, so you must be mentally prepared."
"Don't talk nonsense. I've been to so many haunted houses that I don't believe anyone can scare me."
A few gangsters who were dressed a bit unconventionally smiled scornfully. They came here specifically to get gold coins. With tens of thousands of dollars in rewards for completing the level, they would not miss this kind of good thing that they could do for free.
The staff took a deep look at a few people, then collected the ticket money, handed the 3D glasses to everyone, and finally took out the keys and pushed open the heavy door.
"Everyone, please come in."
A group of more than ten people walked into this haunted house called Wailing House.
"It's a bit cold!"
Su Su also mingled with the team and followed Shen Xueqing into the haunted house. As soon as she entered, she felt a cold air invade her body.
"Little sister, this is just a regular trick in a haunted house, but the air conditioner is turned on a little too high."
Pu Changmin, one of the gangsters on the side, smiled sarcastically and said: "I don't know what I think about this haunted house. Let so many people enter at once. This can scare the hell out of people."
Su Su curled her lips, knowing that the other party wanted to show off in front of her and was too lazy to talk to him.
Shen Xueqing did not communicate and looked around the building of grievances.
A group of them were standing in the registration hall on the first floor. It seemed to have been abandoned for many years. The dust and cobwebs inside had formed their own ecosystem. The door handles were rusty, and rotten wooden boards, broken hospital beds and remnants of old furniture could be seen everywhere. Medical equipment, the smell of disinfectant lingering in the nose.
Light cannot penetrate the glass windows covered with thick dust, making it very dark inside. The environment here has a heart-stopping sense of depression.
Suddenly, Shen Xueqing felt a little uneasy, and a sixth sense of being spied on came to her heart.
This feeling was already very sensitive when she was in school.
During class, a male classmate peeked at her from behind. As long as she turned her head, she would be able to catch the boy peeking at her.
Suddenly, Shen Xueqing's eyes drifted upward, staring at the stairs leading to the second floor. At the dim end of the stairs, she saw a twisted shadow standing there quietly.
She couldn't see clearly in the darkness, but those eyes full of hatred and sternness made her heart beat rapidly.
"Sister Shen, there is a topographic map of the building over here. Look at which way we go."
Su Su next to her tugged on her sleeve, and Shen Xueqing was distracted. When she looked at the stairs again, the twisted shadow there had disappeared.
"Are you dazzled?"
Shen Xueqing thought this in her heart, and then immediately denied it.
Those vicious eyes were too impressive for her to be dazzled by.
"It's because of these glasses! Things are getting interesting."
Shen Xueqing adjusted the 3D glasses on the bridge of her nose. Perhaps these glasses can simulate some realistic and illusory images in the human eye, allowing people to be immersed in the haunted house. This is undoubtedly a brand-new sensory stimulation.
With the breakthrough brought about by this technology, Shen Xueqing had a feeling that here, she would experience the fear and excitement that she had not seen for a long time.
