Chapter 211: Scary Mannequins
Along the way, Chen Ge called the workshop boss . The boss thought that Chen Ge had changed her mind and was willing to help the poor souls in the world . Without waiting for Chen Ge to explain, he left his home in a hurry . Chen Ge waited at the front door of the workshop while having his breakfast . In just twenty minutes, the boss arrived .
"Boss Qian, I need to borrow your workshop again . Money is not an issue . " Chen Ge was not exactly lying . He might not have money now, but he would have it soon .
"Why are we talking money at the first meeting? We're old pals already . Talk of money hurts the relationship . " The slightly overweight boss sat next to Chen Ge . "Just leave me one of your mannequins, and it'll be fine . "
"Are you sure? My mannequins are not for human use . " Chen Ge did not want to lie to the boss since he had treated him with nothing but kindness . "I will design a few new mannequins today . You can decide after I'm done . "
The boss opened the glass door, but before entering, he bowed three times .
"What are you doing? Are you that afraid?" Chen Ge remembered that the boss did not have this habit when they first met .
"I also don't know why . Ever since you created your first batch of mannequins, I've had a feeling something is watching me from inside the door . " Boss Qian scratched his head . "In any case, it's no loss on my part to be careful . If there's really something, this way perhaps it might leave me alone . "
"You're not wrong . " Chen Ge shook his head as he entered the workshop . Now he appeared to be more familiar with the layout than Boss Qian . He picked up the tools that he needed and walked into the storage room . "Some of your materials are going to expire if you don't use them soon . Speaking of which, the place looks the same as when I left the last time . Have you had no business during this whole period?"

"It's okay . " Boss Qian walked into the storage room to help and used this opportunity to say, "I've just came back from the adult doll market research . The market is booming, and we can go the custom-made route . "
"We can talk about that later . " Chen Ge brushed him off . With all the materials ready, Chen Ge tried to remember the woman's face that had gone under the knife many times . In a few minutes, he had completed a broad draft .
"Running a Haunted House is a real waste of your talent . " Boss Qian sighed . Chen Ge ignored him and focused on the clay . Very soon, he completed the woman's face . The woman might have been insane, but it had to be said that she was incredibly beautiful .
"But something is missing . " Chen Ge held the model for inspection before ruining it .
"Don't!" Boss Qian cried out . "At least give it to me to show the customer!"
"The face is not what I want," Chen Ge mumbled and soon came up with another face . Compared to before, this face was filled with sickness and madness . "Still wrong, the woman's madness is laced with pain . "
Chen Ge started over again . Then Chen Ge felt the face was missing a brilliance . This was repeated several times until Boss Qian had gotten used to it . He looked at Chen Ge with sadness in his eyes, and he was humming a sad ballad .
"Where is the problem?" Chen Ge thought back to the introduction of his Dollmaker's talent, and a brave idea appeared in his mind . "The woman's lingering spirit was trapped by Xu Yin inside the tape . I can use Xu Yin's power to release the lingering spirit to control the mannequin . The madwoman is still alive, and in the phone, living doll has this introduction—using a live person as basis . If I follow the black phone's introduction and instill the madwoman's lingering spirit into the mannequin, what will happen?"

Looking at the clay body in his hands, Chen Ge could only envision this . The woman had been involved in multiple murders . Even if she played the mad card, it was impossible for her to see the light of day again .
"Looks like I still need to depend on myself . " To reconstruct the woman's face, Chen Ge continued to work . "She has been through many plastic surgeries . Her face is indeed gorgeous if you look at the facial feature individually, but once combined together, there's this uncanny feeling . "
Chen Ge tore the woman's apart and focused on making individual features before joining them together . When Chen Ge patched the last piece of the face together, a miracle appeared . The woman's face was replicated perfectly; even the expression was hauntingly similar . Looking at this face, Chen Ge was finally satisfied .
"The features are made individually and joined together using steel wires . This way, the face won't be broken so easily . "
However, that did not mean that the face would not break open . If a visitor got too close, the woman's face could still crack . Chen Ge chuckled, imagining the scare that would have on people .
Before 9 am, Chen Ge completed five mannequins, based on the madwoman, Xu Tong, Xiong Qing, the single-armed patient, and the resilient nurse . If possible, Chen Ge wanted to copy the entire Third Sick Hall, including all the patients and doctors .
"Now that I have the characters . With the corresponding props, each mannequin will be their own scary tale . "
It needed time for the filler to freeze, so Chen Ge left after bidding Boss Qian farewell .
Chen Ge reached the Haunted House at 9 am . He opened the gate to welcome a new day of work . New Century Park opened at 9 am . Many visitors stepped into the park and made a beeline for Chen Ge's Haunted House . The number was not small either .
Uncle Xu did not miss this . From certain angle, Chen Ge's Haunted House had become the park's main attraction .
"Uncle Xu, you're here . This is perfect; I was just looking for you . "
"Want me to help you sell tickets? Sure, I'm free anyway . " Uncle Xu naturally moved to the door of the Haunted House . Looking at the long line of visitors, a rare smile appeared on his face .
Chen Ge waved . "I want to build a rest stop next to the Haunted House . It's horrible that we ask the visitors to stand in line all day . "
"No problem . Director Luo has specifically ordered us to aid you in the next two months . "
"I still feel like it's better if I go talk to Director Luo in person . " Chen Ge was preparing for the future . He had more things in mind than a mere rest stop .
"Director Luo will be in his office around noon, so you can go see him then . " Uncle Xu gave the other workers their assignments through his walkie-talkie . Soon, the park's van arrived, and several workers helped move the benches and shed covers out from the vehicle . They were going to build a simple shed beside the Haunted House .
"These were from when the park still had activities; we'll use them for now . As for the actual rest stop, the size and everything, you will need to discuss it with Director Luo first . "
"Understood . "
Uncle Xu and the park workers helped maintain the line . Most of them were lining up obediently, but a large young man cut through the line, rushing toward Chen Ge .
"Wang Hailong? Why is he here?" Chen Ge walked forward assuming some accident had happened to Wang Shenglong . "Did the child finally lose his patience and speak?"

P.A.R.A.D.O.X. PROJECT: Aeon Genesis
The first project focusing on four protagonists within the same world set around fictional 14th-century Europe.This is the first P.A.R.A.D.O.X. PROJECT focusing on 3 (+1) protagonists within the same world set around fictional 14th-century-esque Europe. Each story has its own protagonists (Male or Female Lead), genres (mainly Western Fantasy), and can be read as a standalone. Status: OngoingUpdate(s) per week: 1Words per chapter: 3000 - 6000 *** ‘A human or not; a king or a servant; hope or despair; a hero or a villain.’ Depending on one's perspective and how each story portrays, one will view an individual or a group as evil or virtuous. Because of that, it depends on the reader and listener to believe which one is the truth. More people read and trust multiple (trusted?) sources that either complement or contradict one another. The contradiction becomes the source of debates between those who believe and those who don’t. From that difference in belief, two groups appear: The Majority and The Minority. The majority, having more people, suppress the minorities’ beliefs, claiming theirs, the majorities’, to be the truth. However, the majority are not only composed solely of those who share the same belief but also those who know the truth but afraid to admit it. They have to keep quiet and turn a blind eye for their safety. The majority had to submit to those with power and authority. With the majority under control, those with power and authority can create, manipulate, and/or fabricate truth and lies by force. The reason was for one’s or group’s personal benefits. In the end, there is no such thing as ‘absolute truth’; only sugar-coated lies created by the top. Don’t believe me? It is up to you to decide. Go and read it yourself.

Tales of the Legendary Scholar
They meet in the most unlikely moment and turned their life around. Freidrech newly arrived in his own nation's capital city, which is so foreign to him compared to his village's idyllic and nondiscriminatory atmosphere, after he is forced to come. Now, he is facing a royal prince and tells him to bow. This draws out one of his late father's teachings from the deepest recesses in his mind. "The blood of your great ancestors runs in your veins. Don't easily bow down to anyone, or accept suppression by any being, not even from a monarch, unless you pledge your allegiance to him. Also, giving in to oppression is directly telling the oppressor that you're easy prey and open for manipulation." He is uncertain on how to face this oppression right now. Will he bows or not? What will he do to uphold his father's words while keeping his life safe? As for the prince, Theodrech has nothing to do with Freidrech, so he wishes to let this slip, but the boy opens his mouth and proposes the most ludicrous challenge he ever heard and triggers his curiosity. "I, Freidrech Goederf Gerboud, son of the late Village Chief Louvel Gerboud of Wrilon, will challenge you, Your Highness, to a battle of riddles… If you win, I will not only bow but be your servant for the rest of my life." This amuses the prince. It is the first he met a boy of the same age who is not intimidated by the air of authority he projects. Rather, this boy challenges him. "Why are you so headstrong? In fact, bowing to me is an honor. You saw the King's noble Knights. When they saw me, they bowed," says Theodrech, testing Freidrech. "Allow me to be forward, Your Highness. For me, bowing to a monarch does not guarantee loyalty. If I were you, I rather have men who stand straight in my presence but who got my back, than bowing men who are dreaming of my death," replies Freidrech. The prince’s curiosity increases. A huge smile is seen on his face. Prince Theodrech decides to take Freidrech under his wing. Little did they know, this boy who Prince Theodrech takes in as his confidant and friend in the most ridiculous fashion is someone indispensable in his life and the one who can help him succeed the throne when he almost believes he has lost. Thus, the Tales of the Legendary Scholar begins. ------ o ------ Old Synopsis: A famous ancient adage stated, behind a successful man is a woman BUT… In these lands, the monarchs are seeking not a woman to stand behind them but the man hailed as the Legendary Scholar.
