Preface: The Night of the Hundred Years, a Fantasy Journey of a Mystery Novel Master
Huang Ting is a renowned mystery novel writer, whose works always make readers hold their breath and accelerate their heartbeat.
He is good at using his imagination and wisdom to weave one complicated and fascinating case after another, letting the protagonist uncover the truth in the midst of crisis.
He is full of confidence and pride in his writing.
But he also has a secret that no one knows.
He once did some unspeakable things for creative inspiration.
He once used his fame and fortune to lure some young and beautiful girls, and then tortured them in private, observing them struggle in fear and pain.
He recorded these scenes and used them in his novels.
He thought this would make him more realistic in describing human nature and evil.
But he did not realize that he had violated the law and morality.
He also did not realize that he had incurred the hatred and revenge of someone or some organization.
Until one day, he received an anonymous letter.
There were only a few lines on the letter:
"Do you think you know all the secrets?
Do you think you can escape all the sins?
Do you think you can play with life as you wish?
Now it's time for you to pay the price.
I have arranged a special gift for you.
It will make you experience all the horrors that you have written or not written.
It will make you understand what real suspense is."
Huang Ting didn't take this letter seriously at that time.
He thought it was a prank from some fan or enemy.
He threw the letter into the trash can and continued to focus on his new book in progress.
But the next night, when he was about to go to bed, he found that he couldn't fall asleep.
He felt a strange and strong pressure on his heart.
He picked up his phone and wanted to call a doctor or a friend for help, but found that there was a countdown on his phone screen: 23:59:59.
Huang Ting didn't understand what was going on and didn't know what to do.
Just then, his phone rang.
Huang Ting answered the phone and heard a distorted and eerie voice:
"Welcome to my game."
Then the phone hung up.
Huang Ting tried to call again, but found that his phone had crashed.
At the same time, the countdown also disappeared.
Huang Ting began to panic and decided to leave his home quickly and seek help.
But when he opened the door and wanted to go out, he found that outside had become another world.
