Starting with a haunted house to create a thrilling game arena

Chapter 115: The Devil and Xiong Qing

From Dr. Gao's perspective.

There must be a reason why Zhang Ze suddenly approached him to discuss cooperation.

"Are you worried that Chen Ge's haunted house will surpass his? Ever since he opened his haunted house at New Century Amusement Park, the two haunted houses have been secretly competing with each other, and their operating methods are exactly the same, as if they were made from the same mold."

"If it were his parents, it might make sense, but none of this was done by them. At least judging from Zhang Ze's personality, he could never be someone Chen Ge's parents could trust to take care of. He's a complete madman who would rather become part of a ghost."

Dr. Gao initially tried to analyze it from the perspective of business competition.

But the idea was quickly rejected.

Instead, we should consider it from other perspectives.

Could it be... that Zhang Ze wants to help Chen Ge get treatment?

Also unlikely.

Dr. Gao conducted a personality profile on Zhang Ze, and the results surprised him greatly. He discovered that Zhang Ze did not have the logic of a normal person at all.

Although Chen Ge is used to the rules of the night, he is also good at solving problems through normal means. For example, he has called the police in Fu'an Apartment and the third ward.

Zhang Ze was different; he never let the police clean up the mess.

If I had to describe it, Zhang Ze gave Dr. Gao the feeling of...

That guy in the eastern suburbs of Hanjiang City.

"What can you offer me? You should understand that I am a doctor, and all my actions are based on the fundamental principle of treating patients, whether it's you or him," Dr. Gao said.

"I understand, but Chen Ge's problem isn't in his heart, but behind the door. He's the one who pushes open the door; what you really want is his door, isn't it?"

The bait Zhang Ze threw out was even more powerful than before.

I'm not even going to pretend anymore.

Tell Dr. Gao that there is a door in Chen Ge's haunted house, and he is the one who pushed the door open.

This is different from Zhang Ze. Although Zhang Ze is a top-tier red-clad figure, he is not the one who pushes the door open. The one who pushes the door open is Lingling, and what she pushes open is the door in the painting.

This undoubtedly struck at Dr. Gao's Achilles' heel.

because……

Dr. Gao's own door is in the underground morgue.

Zhang Ze paused for a moment, then said, "Let's cooperate. According to my intelligence, the ghosts on Chen Ge's body are on the verge of dormancy because they need to digest and devour the supernatural beings they've been consuming during this period of intense fighting."

"This is a golden opportunity. You can let Xiong Qing and the devil take this chance to enter his haunted house and steal the door."

"My crows will guide them; wherever the crows are, it's a safe place."

"it is good."

Dr. Gao nodded.

For Dr. Gao, this was a win-win situation.

Even if he failed, he believed in Xiong Qing and the devil's strength and that they could at least escape unscathed. Even if he only managed to get information about Chen Ge's door, the trip would still be worthwhile.

What's more, there's Zhang Ze, the top-tier red-clad figure, protecting them.

On the other end of the phone.

Zhang Ze breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this answer.

He can finally get a good night's sleep.

……

Fanghua Garden Residential Community.

Building 3.

"Number 10 asked me to do something."

"Let me take Xiong Qing to a haunted house in the western suburbs of Hanjiang City. The owner of that haunted house is the same person who attacked Xu Tong and the others in the third ward the day before yesterday."

Patient number ten in the third ward, codenamed "Devil".

In the Ghost Stories Association, the serial number is not ten.

After glancing at the latest news on his phone, the devil fell into deep thought. "Even if we bring Xiong Qing along, the risk is still very high. Don't forget that there's a monster in that guy's shadow."

"Even the person behind the door couldn't stop him. Going to his territory is tantamount to suicide."

The man sitting opposite the devil is the bird-beaked man.

The man with the bird beak doesn't wear the bird beak mask all the time; it's just that... the bird beak is his real face, and he can't take it off.

"This is not a decision made by Number Ten alone."

"On the bright side, this is a decapitation strike. If Xiong Qing can devour the monster in that man's shadow, how far will he grow?"

"Perhaps it's the finest red robe, perhaps... to touch the very essence of the red robe?"

Above the red dress?

To be honest, the devils hadn't thought about this question. For them, the red-clad warriors were already their core fighting force, and they wouldn't even consider something so unattainable.

"Even without the monster in the shadows, don't forget he still has a radio. That ghost, though not in red, is fearless. If he's cornered, I'm not confident I can kill him outright," the devil said slowly.

Upon hearing this, the man with the bird-beak laughed.

The bird's beak parted, releasing a horrifying stench.

"So, you can take this with you."

He stopped what he was doing, and pulled a small red box from an old drawer. The devil was instantly drawn to the box and stared at him intently.

This thing has a tremendous attraction for ghosts.

It's like having a Michelin-starred meal laid out in front of you.

Even if the devil himself didn't think about it, Xiong Qing was already itching to act.

"Where did you get this? Is it from the inventory of the third ward?"

"From...that village."

"The village?"

"That's right, we also need to get our hands on that door. Number Ten's concerns are probably also about this. We've clashed with the haunted house owner several times, and we can't let him ruin our next step of the plan. So we need you to eliminate him and prevent future troubles."

"The Ghost Story Association is the ruler of the night in Hanjiang City. We still have a scapegoat, twins, a few unused items, and some of the stock we collected before. Our resources are enough to support a major battle."

"Furthermore, there is a top-tier red-clad figure working in conjunction with him. You may not have seen him, but you must have seen the crows he released these past few nights. His strength is beyond doubt."

crow……

The devil nodded.

I don't know when it started.

There are more crows in Hanjiang City at night.

Various rumors circulated online, such as crow farms going out of business, crows from the north migrating to spend the winter there, or even a crow fighting competition being held in Hanjiang City.

Only they knew that these crows weren't real crows.

It was the work of some ghost.

The world of ghost stories is like a dark forest. If you attract attention, you'd better pray that you're strong enough to ignore all covetous eyes, otherwise the monsters lurking in the darkness won't hesitate to devour you.

"That guy dared to be so bold as to let crows roam all over the western suburbs of Hanjiang City. If he's not an idiot, then he's at least stronger than you and Xiong Qing, and even stronger than most of us," the bird-beaked man said. "Top-tier escort, plus this box of things you like, I'm asking you two to make a move."

"how?"

The devil remained silent for a long time.

Perhaps influenced by Xiong Qing, or perhaps he himself had also been greedy, his hesitant gaze instantly turned firm as he placed his hand on the small red box.

"Let's do it!"
