The underground corpse repository mission was a turning point for
"The Thrilling Maze... that sounds pretty impressive. I just wonder what new functions it'll add. Hopefully it won't disappoint."
Including the soon-to-be-unlocked underground corpse repository, Chen Ge's horror house already had ten scenarios.
Three scenarios on the surface: Zombie Revival Night, Ghost Marriage, and Midnight Escape Kill.
Seven scenarios underground, big and small: Muyang Middle School, Xicheng Private Academy, the Room of Three (
Currently the most difficult one should be the Third Ward, since it was the only three-star scenario with over ninety percent completion. Nearly all the scare points had been successfully unlocked.
"The hidden mission tied to the Third Ward scenario was to wipe out the Supernatural Talking Society. Now that the mission is complete, it rewarded me with a president's appointment letter. What's this thing for? Can it command the souls of those society members after death?"
When the Third Ward trial mission had exceeded ninety percent completion, the Black Phone had rewarded him with a medical file to which several patients' souls from the Third Ward were attached.
Those patients were all complete lunatics, and only Dr. Gao could keep them in check. Chen Ge had worried that releasing them recklessly would drive visitors insane, so out of consideration for his patrons, he had never used that medical file.
Now that the hidden mission tied to the Third Ward scenario was complete, based on his past experience, the rewards from these two missions should complement each other. So the first thing he thought of was using the president's appointment letter to control those deranged souls.
"Those few are absolute madmen, with doctor's certificates to boot. Having them manage the Third Ward scenario couldn't be more fitting."
Every time he imagined providing visitors with a better experience, Chen Ge felt happy. He stretched his body, then loaded Dr. Chen from the Jiujiang Welfare Institute—who had also fallen unconscious—onto the corpse transport cart. Four people lay neatly side by side, looking quite harmonious.
"Dr. Chen is wanted by the police for 'trafficking' children. Before this misunderstanding is cleared up, he'd better stay at my place for now. And I happen to have plenty of things I want to ask him."
Dr. Gao had his powerful ghost because he had opened a "door." Dr. Chen could control powerful ghosts—and that was something Chen Ge couldn't quite wrap his head around. He planned to dig up Dr. Chen's secrets little by little.
Pushing the corpse transport cart toward the exit, the passage had become much wider. The corpses in the core area and the photos on the walls had all been moved inside the door by Dr. Gao in advance. Before the battle had even been decided, Dr. Gao had already planned out all his retreat routes.
"The underground corpse repository is divided into three zones. This scenario is second only to Living Coffin Village in terms of area, but what makes it more terrifying than Living Coffin Village is that there's nowhere to escape—you're completely suffocated in an atmosphere of horror." Chen Ge had already begun mentally planning how to set up the scenario. He reviewed the night's experiences in his mind, and a flash of craziness crossed his eyes. "How about... I go big this time?"
Chen Ge pushed the corpse transport cart through several more loops in the passage before finally leaving the core and middle zones.
As he passed Mortuary No. 7, he stopped and looked around, but couldn't find Mortuary No. 8, which had appeared the night before. That storage room seemed not to exist.
"They must have been guarding this place from the shadows all along." There were legends about Mortuary No. 8 on the Jiujiang Medical College's online forum, but over the past five or six years, no student had ever had an accident in the corpse repository. That was probably thanks to the anatomy teachers of Mortuary No. 8.
They were no match for Dr. Gao and couldn't stop him. All they could do was protect their students within their limited means.
"Those two crematorium workers from last night—if they hadn't been disrespectful toward the anatomy teachers, they probably wouldn't have been chased around like that."
Chen Ge faced the spot where Mortuary No. 8 had appeared the night before and gave a slight bow, then pushed the cart onward toward the exit.
