Chapter 192
Chen Ge had discovered the ‘ghost’ underneath the crib, but the ‘ghost’ did not know that .
“Come out, brother . ” Chen Ge pushed the crib aside, and the wiring hidden under the baby pulled taut . A slim man had hidden himself underneath the crib and was holding a remote control in his arms . He was wearing scary make-up, his body drenched in fake blood .
“Let me ask you, what kind of item am I supposed to look for here?” Chen Ge also felt he was being a bit forward, so he added, “When I came in, the security didn’t tell me anything so perhaps you would be able to . ”
The ‘ghost’ under the crib didn’t say anything and turned to run out of the room . This sudden action surprised Chen Ge .
“Why did he run?” To maintain his heartrate, Chen Ge did not run after the guy . He walked leisurely as he had been doing since he entered the Haunted House . “A baby grabbing your clothes, this scare is a bit too plain . There should be a bigger scare . Most likely, the actor is supposed to jump out when I am leaving . ”
Picking up the baby from the bed, Chen Ge realized that the make-up skill was still not as good as his was .
Xu Zhenzhen? The blanket underneath the baby had this name on it . Why is it her again?
Chen Ge picked up all the nearby babies, and all the mannequins had this name underneath them .
Ever since I enter the Haunted House, I’ve been seeing this name . Is this some kind of psychological trick? He looked through the nursery and finally found a clue inside one of the cribs . It was a pendant in the shape of a key . The pendant was sitting on a piece of paper . It read—For my daughter, Xu Zhenzhen .
Taking something that belonged to the victim will give someone the impression that they’re haunted by the dead victim . This note is probably supposed to increase the visitors’ fear toward Xu Zhenzhen .

The pendant was something that Chen Ge needed to proceed . Not taking it meant the inability to move forward . This was another trick by the Haunted House .
After picking up the pendant, Chen Ge looked at the note . He retrieved the Pen Spirit’s ballpoint pen, and he added a few words to the back of note while mimicking the handwriting—I’ve written .
A little surprise for them .
The scare in this room had been exposed by Chen Ge . He walked toward the door, and as he stepped out, there was the sound of something rolling in the dark . Then, a woman with disheveled hair, a face covered with blood, and a bloated stomach ran toward Chen Ge pushing a cart filled with babies . The scariest thing was that the woman had no legs .
When he saw this, Chen Ge’s heart rate jumped slightly, but he soon calmed down . The woman’s body was tightly adhered to the left wall, and he had confirmed that the left wall was suspicious before entering the nursery .
Instead of saying that the woman was pushing the cart, the woman was actually sitting inside the cart and was being carried forward . The corridor was small, and the cart moved fast . The ‘pregnant ghost’ practically flashed across Chen Ge .
His gaze filled with resentment locked with Chen Ge . Their faces were merely twenty centimeters away .
So, the scariest thing is outside the room; that’s quite an ingenious design .
The visitors would be afraid when looking for the key inside the nursery . They would sigh in relief when they finally found it . They would be completely unprepared for the female ghost who waited for them as they left the nursery .
There are no tracks on the floor, so is there a machine inside the wall that pushes the cart?
Chen Ge followed the ‘pregnant ghost’ as the cart pulled back . His footsteps were light . The ‘pregnant ghost’ did not know that Chen Ge was following behind her . She enjoyed this experience of scaring people . She turned her body around, hoping to scare Chen Ge again .

However, as she turned and met Chen Ge’s extremely inquisitive face, she was caught by surprise, and the expression on her face froze .
“So, you’ve been squatting inside the cart; that’s quite creative . ”
The cart was motorized, and the woman was basically the driver . To protect the visitors’ safety, half of the bottom of the cart was connected to the machine inside the wall, and the distance the cart could travel was only one meter .
“This design is quite interesting, and your gaze earlier did give me the feels . Resentment mixed with hate, it’s almost like a real ghost . ” Chen Ge was never stingy with his praise . After hearing Chen Ge’s praise, the ‘pregnant ghost’ did not know how to reply . She had been in this business for years already, and this was the first time that someone had praised her acting inside a Haunted House .
Normally, the visitors would not have paid attention to such details . They were like dancers in the dark; they focused on their work, but there was never any appreciation . Sometimes, visitors might even turn aggressive on them . Even though she hated to admit it, she quite enjoyed the compliment .
“It’s nothing…” Perhaps she had been a ghost for too long, but even her voice sounded grim .
“I’m not kidding . Your gaze was similar to an actual ghost . You are an excellent actor . ”
Chen Ge moved on to the next scene with his key . When he left, the woman suddenly realized something . “What does he mean by ‘similar to an actual ghost’? Sounds like he has seen an actual ghost before . ”
After the nursery, it was the bathroom . There were several mannequins hanging upside down in it . The scares at Tian Teng Medical School were mostly visual scares like these . It would give its impact at first glance, so those visiting their Haunted House would scream endlessly .
Other than these scenarios, Chen Ge’s Haunted House had a different scenario . He depended on continuous influence of the atmosphere to slowly collect the fear inside people’s hearts before exploding it at one shot, giving his visitors a scare that echoed deep into their soul .
The bathroom, diagnosis room, and the doctor’s resting room had no actors, and they depended on mechanisms to scare people . In other words, these were the rooms Tian Teng Medical School gave their visitors to recover themselves . Normal tricks and gory scenes did nothing for Chen Ge . He went through all three rooms easily, and then inside the nooks and crannies of the three rooms, he found three different-colored pendant keys . Including the two found inside the heart and the nursery, Chen Ge now had five keys on him .
All of the keys have different colors, so there should only be one real key .
Chen Ge pocketed all the keys and entered the fourth room . The room was small and had the décor from decades ago .
The paint on the walls was yellow, and the chandelier swayed in the wind . There was a ‘dead body’ lying on top of the office table, and there was a plastic knife and several blood-stained patient’s records on the floor .
There were bloody palm prints on the ceiling, and the floor was covered with messy footprints . The place was messy, like it had been visited by a bunch of ghosts .
This is interesting . Why is the dead body’s frame so similar to the young man that was hiding under the crib earlier?
Chen Ge walked to the office table and found something interesting . On the bookshelf behind the table sat an old-fashioned tape recorder that was no longer in production .
