Starting with a haunted house to create a thrilling game arena

Chapter 114: Zhang Ze and Dr. Gao's Collaboration

Su Ren publicly released the photos he had taken.

(A detailed description should have been included here, but since the previous chapter was revised three times but could not be released, I am forced to post it again, so it is omitted here. Please forgive me.)

It was 7 p.m.

Normally the amusement park would have closed long ago, but now it was brightly lit. After hearing what Su Ren said and seeing the photos he showed, everyone was immediately in an uproar.

exploded.

This time it's really outrageous.

"It's a complete reversal! It turns out Boss Zhang was the one acting on behalf of Heaven!"

"Damn those paid trolls, I'll never believe their nonsense again!"

"Support Boss Zhang!"

……

Although this was only a preliminary counterattack in public opinion, Zhang Ze had already achieved his goal. The onlookers no longer lingered and followed Uncle Xu's instructions, leaving New Century Amusement Park.

These people alone are definitely not enough.

Su Ren will continue his online battle to clear Zhang Ze's name.

In addition, once the patients in the second ward who were rescued by the police regain their senses, they will help Zhang Ze clarify the truth and clear his name.

Go back inside the house.

Zhang Ze had no desire to sleep at all.

He had been working tirelessly for several days in a row, from unlocking the new scene in the second ward to the series of events that followed. He had just taken a break when Xiaomen gave him another tough task.

Xiong Qing was killed within 24 hours.

As for Xiong Qing...

Zhang Ze pondered for a moment.

Xiong Qing was patient number eight in the third ward. Judging from Chen Ge unlocking the new scene in the third ward, Xiong Qing must be dead. The monster clinging to the door behind him was directly swallowed by Zhang Ya.

Not only Zhang Ya, but Zhang Ze even suspected that Chen Ge had already gotten involved with Xu Yin.

He had observed with his crow's eye that Chen Ge had suddenly acquired a tape recorder today, something that had never happened before, indicating that Xu Yin had most likely become Chen Ge's employee.

If nothing unexpected happens.

Xiong Qing is now dead and has become a vengeful ghost in red.

Later, in the Living Coffin Village, he will have to fight Chen Ge again.

Finally, during a secret operation to infiltrate Chen Ge's haunted house, he had a one-on-one fight with Xu Yin and was swallowed whole by Xu Yin, becoming the stepping stone for Xu Yin to step into the world of red.

As for now, Xu Yin is definitely not going to receive this good fortune.

"Yang Feikuang has connections with the Ghost Stories Association, and Dr. Gao probably already knows that I unlocked the second ward."

"Besides, I've released quite a few crows into the western suburbs of Hanjiang City before. The western suburbs are the territory of the Ghost Stories Association, so there's no reason why Dr. Gao wouldn't know what happened."

Zhang Ze, on the other hand, was quite composed.

After going through so much.

It's impossible for Dr. Gao not to know who Zhang Ze is.

They maintained a superficial peace, keeping to themselves, partly because they felt Zhang Ze was more difficult to deal with than Chen Ge, and partly because Zhang Ze, as an outsider, was not within Dr. Gao's considerations.

Their initial target was Chen Ge's door.

Think for a moment.

Zhang Ze made up his mind.

He postponed everything else, such as daily tasks, the roulette draw, and the nightmare tasks. He wasn't even in a hurry to prove his innocence online.

This is a special 24-hour mission; don't miss this opportunity!

So I sent a message to Dr. Gao.

"Dr. Gao, I've encountered a tricky situation."

"I know someone who suffers from dissociative personality disorder. He often fantasizes about running a haunted house, befriending many ghosts, and even having them as employees. He recently visited an abandoned mental hospital, and I feel he's becoming increasingly dangerous. What should I do to deal with him?"

Several minutes passed after Zhang Ze sent this message, but Dr. Gao did not reply.

After a long pause, Dr. Gao finally sent a question mark.

It seemed to be asking whether Zhang Ze was referring to Chen Ge or himself.

Zhang Ze was stunned for a moment, realizing that those words seemed to perfectly describe himself.

"If you feel any anxiety, tension, or pressure, often experience heart palpitations or shortness of breath, and also have uncontrollable intrusive thoughts, these are indeed manifestations of some mental health issues. I can provide you with the best psychological counseling services in Hanjiang City."

"I've heard about the recent online drama. Xiaoxue talked to me about it, and she has a very good impression of you. She even asked me how to relieve stress in this situation."

"You've done a great job, Xiao Zhang. You've managed such a large haunted house all by yourself, and you've done everything yourself. The hardships and pain you've endured far exceed those of your peers."

"If you really feel that your... friend? might have some kind of psychological problem, you can contact me tomorrow morning, and I'll give you an expedited call."

Dr. Gao maintained the tone of a psychologist.

This is normal.

After all, Dr. Gao's judgment of Zhang Ze's identity and strength should be based on the crows that Zhang Ze had spread throughout the city, the scene inside the haunted house, and the strength he displayed in the battle. For example, eliminating Yang Feikuang meant that Zhang Ze possessed some kind of mind attack method.

But Zhang Ze saw through Dr. Gao's lack of reason.

He's a time traveler, he's already seen right through Dr. Gao. No matter how amazing Dr. Gao's IQ is, it can't compare to this huge information gap.

This leads to...

Dr. Gao also had to pretend to be a psychologist in front of Zhang Ze.

Zhang Ze could only try his best to keep a straight face.

"Dr. Gao, I think we both know who I'm talking about. You've been paying a lot of attention to him lately, haven't you? After all, he's helped a few of the patients you've been focusing on."

"More importantly, his haunted house holds the secrets that you all flock to."

Zhang Ze didn't exactly sell out Chen Ge.

Dr. Gao must be aware of all this information.

Even if we take a step back and say that Chen Ge had already broken ties with him, it's understandable that Zhang Ze betrayed Chen Ge.

Sure enough, after those words, Dr. Gao stopped pretending.

"How did you recognize me?"

"Of course, it came from that doctor who used electric shock. He confessed everything to you. I also know that you're recruiting new people next Wednesday, and the location is..." Zhang Ze passed the buck to Yang Feikuang, leaving no way for him to testify.

"Impossible. The thirteenth newcomer knew nothing about us, and didn't even participate in the formal induction ceremony. He seemed very anxious and left first."

Dr. Gao was very careful with his words.

Without mentioning Yang Feikuang, the Ghost Stories Association, or the bloody "joining ceremony," caution is evident in everything.

"How I know you is not important. What is important is that we are now facing a common enemy. To me, he is a competitor who is stealing my business. To you, he is a very sick patient."

"Don't you think we should team up?"

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

This is not just a casual remark.

Judging from their strength on paper, Chen Ge, who is forever associated with Zhang Ya and Xu Yin, is stronger than everyone in the Ghost Story Association except for Dr. Gao, even without employees like Bai Qiulin joining them yet.

If Zhang Ya from Living Coffin Village hadn't eaten too many vengeful spirits and been knocked unconscious, and if Xu Yin hadn't been banned, the entire game would have been held up by just a few weaklings.

It's estimated that Chen Ge quickly completed the original Ghost Story Association instance.
