Chapter 109: Second Special Visitor
The three Nightmare Missions were like the new player missions given in such games . They had certain risks, but they also helped new players familiarize themselves with the game .
Looks like only after completing the first three Nightmare Missions can one be considered a real player . Chen Ge held the bloodied paper in his hand, and he discovered that his emotions were still raging . Every single mission so far had been a real threat, but until now, he had been in the kiddie pool, so just how difficult would the later missions be?
After putting away the note with the hint, Chen Ge slowly resigned himself to his fate . The most difficult missions so far had been the two Trial Missions . The most dangerous presence at Ping An Apartments was the people . Mu Yang High School was creepy, but the lingering spirits inside it had meant no harm . Therefore, technically speaking, the missions were not that dangerous .
Looks like from three-star scenarios onwards, the situation will be different . I'll probably encounter malicious specters then . In any case, Chen Ge could only power forward . This paper had probably been left behind by his parents, so no matter what, he had to pay the location a visit .
Chen Ge then pulled out the black phone . When he saw the girl's face, the Nightmare Mission had been completed .
"Specters' Favored, congratulations for completing the Nightmare Mission, obtained reward—Elementary Skill, Dollmaker's Talent .
"Utilizing real humans as your model, carve, cut, join, and shine each bone, paint the skin, sew up the wounds, and pair it with a flawless face . Provide it to a homeless spirit, and you will have created your first living doll .
"That mission was your third Nightmare Mission . After completing the mission, you were rewarded with a randomized scenario's Trial Mission . Would you like to draw the Trial Mission now?
"Warning: After completing the third Nightmare Mission, the Nightmare Missions given for daily missions will be randomized, so please treat each Nightmare Mission carefully!"

Similar to when he obtained the Mortician's Make-up skill, some new memories and techniques appeared in Chen Ge's mind . Other than that, there was no visible change .
Dolls and mannequins are integral parts of a Haunted House . This skill will be incredibly helpful for the management of a Haunted House . It's just a coincidence that there are twenty-four lingering spirits in Mu Yang High School that need them . I can use them to test out this skill . Chen Ge had skipped over whether the spirits would like to live his dolls or not . After finishing the dolls and pushing the spirits into them, it will most likely complete Mu Yang High School's Hidden Mission .
There were not enough mannequins in the Night of the Living Dead scenario, and his Haunted House did not possess the facilities to mass produce a bunch of mannequins .
Tomorrow morning, I should go around to look for a workshop that can help me produce mannequins . Hopefully, the price won't be too exorbitant . Chen Ge continued to look through the black phone . He was hesitating over whether he should draw the Trial Mission or not . In the end, he did not think that he was ready to take on a three-star Trial Mission .
After dealing with all that, Chen Ge reached for his phone, ended the video, and cut the part where the slippers entered the room on their own and stopped beside his bed .
'Whenever I fell asleep, the slippers walk to the bed on their own . ' After giving it a random name, Chen Ge uploaded this video that was only eleven seconds long to the app . Despite its length, the effect was much better than the bathtub video . In less than several minutes, it had over more than a hundred views and fifty shares . The comments section, which had been quiet for so long, started to get rambunctious again .
"Small and weak! Your video is similar to your… Wait, can someone tell me why the slippers can move on their own?"

"Have you photoshopped yourself out of the video?"
"Am I mistaken? Or is there someone hiding under the bed?"
"I see it, too! But there appears to be two of them! F*ck, what in heaven's name is this‽"
Whenever Chen Ge released a video, his number of followers would increase . After reading the comments for another two minutes, he logged out of his account and went back to sleep . When Chen Ge woke up the next morning, he cleared the white rice away and cleaned the Haunted House before waiting for the park to open .
The lack of employees is a problem . If only the Pen Spirit could help me sell tickets…
Chen Ge started to plan internally . The Minghun scenario allowed a maximum capacity of three visitors at a time, but Murder by Midnight and Mu Yang High School were different . For Murder by Midnight, the more the visitors, the more exciting it would be . Mu Yang High School covered a large space, and even if eight people entered it at the same time, as long as he handled the rhythm well, scaring them dumb was still possible .
After completing Mu Yang High School's Hidden Mission, I should have Xu Wan manage the Murder by Midnight scenario, and I'll enter the Mu Yang High School scenario . That way, two scenarios can operate at the same time .
After making the plan, Chen Ge went online to look for a mannequin workshop near western Jiujiang, and he was pleased to discover that there was one close to New Century Park . In fact, the place's main customer had once been New Century Park . This meant that the deterioration of the park had brought about the place's demise as well . It seemed that the owner was about to let the place go .
The park opened punctually at 9 am . The number of overall visitors was dwindling, but the line before the Haunted House was increasing . Before, it was Chen Ge holding the stack of flyers in his hands, watching on with envy as the visitors walk past his Haunted House . Even the line for the Merry-go-Round used to be longer than the line for his Haunted House, but now the situation had flipped .
"Please stay patiently in line . Every scenario costs 20 . For those of you who want to experience a different scenario after the first one, please return to the back to the line . "
Chen Ge had Xu Wan enter the Haunted House to prepare while he stayed outside to maintain order . When he was selling tickets, the black phone suddenly vibrated .
The day has just started, and there's already a message? Chen Ge stood where he was and pulled out the phone .
"The Midnight Ticket Counter's effect has been triggered . A special visitor has appeared! Please make use of this opportunity; the results will be different based on your choices!"
Another trigger? Chen Ge was dazed for a moment before his eyes swept over the line of visitors . Who could this special visitor be?
Chen Ge's eyes widened when his gaze reached the end of the line . The person saw him as well because he waved at Chen Ge .
"Doctor Gao?"
Chen Ge sent two visitors into the Minghun scenario before he walked over to Doctor Gao and studied the man closely . "Why are you here?"
"To find you of course . " Doctor Gao was in a suit, so he did not look like a typical park visitor . "I knew that you are no longer a student, but I'm surprised you own a Haunted House . "
"It's a family business . " Chen Ge pocketed his black phone and said, "Then, how can I help you?"
"It's like this, I have stumbled across a unique patient . His situation is similar to the boy you once told me about, so I wish to ask you some questions . "

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
