Back in the studio, Gao Life had memorised most of the information about the murder houses in Hanhai, and he was working in a different direction from everyone else.
The clock on the wall ticked, and while he was fully engrossed in the murderous mansion, the lights in the office suddenly flickered, and thin shadows crept in.
"This is ..."
Gao Life's breathing became a little difficult as he saw shadows coming from all directions, as if they were trying to pour into the utility room.
"Bad, what game has this triggered?"
This time, Gao Fate didn't invoke the soul, nor did he repeat the behaviour of the dead, he seemed to be passively dragged into the middle of the game.
The frequency of the lights flashing became faster, and without warning, they suddenly all went out!
The familiar grim feeling wrapped around his heart, Gao Life took a deep breath, he was just about to remind the employees in the studio to pay attention to their safety, when he suddenly saw Wei Dayou jumping onto the table with his bag on his back.
"Everyone, don't panic!"Wei Dayou pulled open his backpack, "I came with an emergency light!"
Pressing the switch, light appeared in Wei Dayou's hand.
"Brothers and sisters, I'm not going to hide it from you all, I felt that the game just couldn't go on before, so I went to do the night market, and this light is what I bought for the stall."Wei Dayou placed the lamp on top of a stack of books, "Our studio has been at the bottom of the Magic Map Technology for seven months, everyone doesn't look at the horror game, I work part-time as a planner, and I was scolded by the leaders and the players for half a year, and to be honest, I'm also holding my breath in my heart."
Wei Dayou raised his tone, "I know it was hard for us before, but now we have a chance!With the combination of this love game and horror game, the number of beta downloads is more than even the official version of our last game, we, Night Light Studio, will be able to turn the tide against the wind right away!"
The few staff members who were still working overtime were deeply touched by Wei Dayou's words, programmer Li Xie and operation Zhang Wang even stood up, they were Night Light's old staff members and were very attached to the place.
"I know everyone is tired, but it's hard just for these few days, we have to take advantage of the heat of the game and get the finished product out as soon as possible!Give the players an explanation, give the customers an explanation, and also give ourselves an explanation!"Wei Dayou said very passionately, "I'll go to the power distribution room to take a look, everyone continue the work at hand!"
Seeing that Wei Dayou didn't take his mobile phone and walked towards the outside with his bare hands, Gao Life hurriedly stopped him, "Dayou, listen to me."
"I know what you want to say."Wei Dayou held Gao Life's hand very hard: "Brother, this time we won't let you down, we will definitely present the game you designed perfectly!"
"Not ..."
"Any more politeness would be out of place!"Otomo let go of his hand, but High Life's mobile phone vibrated at this time, not only him, the others in the Night Light office also looked at the phone.
Sliding the screen, everyone seemed to have received a new message.
"One of you has a ghost in your body."
"You can only leave if you kill the person possessed by the ghost."
"Note that your range of movement is only the 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th floors, in an hour the ghost will awaken and start killing people, and those who are killed by the ghost will become ghosts as well."
The message was very short, only three sentences, the staff in the night light studio didn't take it to heart, they were doing horror games, every time the game was released, the player's messages were more than ten times more scary than this.
"How come it's this game that has become reality?"High Life recognised it right away, a few years ago a client felt that going to work was too boring and wanted some excitement, so they made this office escape game for the other party.
This game must be solved within an hour, the further back the more ghosts, and players want to pass the level, they must accurately kill the person who is possessed by the ghost with their hands, that is to say, they must take out a person.
Gao Life ran out to chase Wei Dayou, but the lift door closed at that moment.
"Dayou!"Gao Life pressed the lift button, he suddenly felt breathing behind him.
"This prank is quite boring, you won't really believe it, right?"Xia Yang's voice suddenly appeared next to Gao Life, startling him.
"How come you walk without any sound at all?"With the help of the light in the room, Gao Ming carefully observed Xia Yang.
"Do you think I'm a ghost?"Xia Yang laughed.
"Teacher Xia, if this game turns out to be real, what will you do?"High Life asked with a tentative tone.
"Kill myself, I don't dare to kill, and I'm afraid of pain."
"But suicide means you kill yourself, the same hands stained with blood."Before High Life finished speaking, another lift in the building suddenly stopped at the 13th floor where the night light was located.
The silver-grey lift doors slowly opened, and the delivery man Sume and the Ma manager of the Unicorn Game ran out of the lift in a panic, both of them with expressions of incomparable fear, desperately trying to stay away from each other.
In addition to the two of them, there was a male corpse in the lift, the corners of its eyes torn out and its hands clutching a computer bag.
"He's a ghost!Ghosts kill people!"Sukumo shouted as if he was crazy.
"He's the ghost!The ghost is on his body!"Manager Ma kept his distance from Sukumo and shouted at High Life and the others.
"So it turns out that men can also make such a piercing sound."Xia Yang covered his ears, squinted his eyes to survey the two men in front of him, and chanted in a very low voice, "Dead man, it seems that what that text message said should be true."
Xia Yang didn't know if it was because of his big heart, or if there was some other reason, it was as if he had experienced a similar game before, not only was he not scared, but he also had a smile on his face.
Walking through the middle of Su Mo and Manager Ma, Gao Life came to the side of the corpse.
Untying the collar of the corpse, he saw the obvious corpse spots, "The time of death of the deceased should have been 24 hours ago, the murderer is most likely not these two people in the lift."
"It's not them, then why would they stay in the lift with the corpse?"Xia Yang scanned his mobile phone message, "Is it possible that the ghost is hiding in the two of them?"
High Life nodded, "The ghost was probably trapped in the corpse in the beginning, and the two of them touched the corpse, so the suspicion is high.Of course, we can't rule out other circumstances, perhaps the ghost is deliberately letting us focus our target on the two of them, so that they can be the scapegoats."
"This ghost is quite cunning."
"The game designer understands human psychology very well, it isolated these two people to make the group's well-being and individual lives clash.When everyone is pushed to the point where they have no choice, someone will definitely take a shot at the two of them, and maybe people will even let them finish each other off."Gao Life didn't design it to be that complicated in the first place, this game was perfected later by Wei Dayou according to the customer's requirements, "This thing called human nature is very fragile, once you take the first step, the bottom line will be constantly penetrated until you lose your humanity completely."
"Some unscrupulous companies also squeeze their employees in this way."Xia Yang was optimistic: "Anyway, the ghost is definitely not in our studio, everyone is working overtime, none of them went to other floors."
"We are safe for the time being, but according to the message, the ghost will awaken in an hour and start killing people, and by then it might be impossible for anyone to believe it."
"Right, so we must find the person possessed by the ghost within an hour."
Su Mo and Manager Ma were still arguing, they were on the verge of losing control of their emotions as they called each other ghosts.
"You two stop arguing for now and speak slowly."Xia Yang showed a calmness that was completely different from usual.
"I went downstairs after delivering the takeaway and ended up meeting the corpse in the lift!The ghost was on the corpse at first, he told me so many things, and with every word the lift was covered in a layer of shadow!"Su Mo wiped away the tears in his eyes, "Then we met Manager Ma coming up the lift, that corpse had a grudge against Manager Ma, it had been waiting for Manager Ma!When Manager Ma came up it strangled him and then drilled into Manager Ma's body!"
"Nonsense!He's lying!He's the ghost!"Manager Ma peeled back his collar, "Look guys!There are no strangulation marks on my neck at all, I was on the phone in the underground car park when I suddenly heard a strange noise in the lift so I went over to check.Who knows that as soon as the lift door opened I was dragged in by him, and this delivery man said that someone was trying to kill him!But there was only one body in the lift besides him!"
