Chapter 21 There is something strange in the office

Back in the studio, Gao Ming memorized most of the information about the haunted house in Hanhai, and he was working in different directions with everyone..

The clock on the wall was ticking. When he was immersed in the haunted house, the light in the office suddenly flashed, and a thin shadow quietly emerged..

“This is……”

Gao Ming's breathing became a little difficult. He saw shadows coming from all directions, as if they were pouring into the utility room..

“Broken, what kind of game did this trigger?？”

This time Gao Ming did not summon the spirit, nor did he repeat the behavior of the deceased. He seemed to be passively dragged into the game..

The lights flash faster and without warning, all of them suddenly go out.！

The familiar cold feeling wrapped around his heart. Gao Ming took a deep breath. He was just about to remind the employees in the studio to pay attention to safety when he suddenly saw Wei Dayou jumping on the table with his bag on his back..

“Don't panic, everyone! "Wei Dayou opened his backpack and said, "I have an emergency light.！”

Press the switch and light appears in Wei Dayou's hand.

“Brothers and sisters, to tell you the truth, I thought I couldn’t make the game anymore, so I went to work at the night market. I bought this lamp for setting up a stall.” Wei Dayou placed the lamp on top of a pile of books: “Our studio I was at the bottom of Motu Technology for seven months, and no one was optimistic about horror games. I worked part-time as a planner, and was scolded by leaders and players for half a year. To be honest, I was holding my breath..”

Wei Dayou raised his voice: "I know it was difficult for us before, but now we have a chance! After combining this love game with a horror game, the number of downloads of the beta version is more than the official version of our last game. Our Night Light Studio You can make a comeback in no time！”

Several employees who were still working overtime were deeply touched by Wei Dayou's words. Programmer Li Jie and operation Zhang Wang even stood up. They are old employees of Night Light and have great affection for this place..

“I know everyone is very tired, but these days are just the hard part. We have to take advantage of the popularity of the game and get the finished product out as soon as possible! Give an explanation to the players, an explanation to the customers, and an explanation to ourselves! "Wei Dayou said very passionately: "I'll go to the power distribution room to take a look, everyone can continue the work at hand.！”

Seeing that Wei Dayou didn't take his cell phone and walked out with bare hands, Gao Ming quickly stopped him: "Dayou, listen to me..”

“I know what you want to say." Wei Dayou held Gao Ming's hand very hard: "Brother, we will not let you down this time, and we will definitely present the game you designed perfectly.！”

“no……”

“No matter how polite you are, you will be out of touch! "Dayou let go of his hand, but Gao Ming's cell phone vibrated at this moment. Not only him, but also everyone else in Ye Leng's office looked at the phone..

Sliding the screen, everyone seems to have received a new message.

“One of you has a ghost in you.”

“Only by killing the possessed person can you leave.”

“Note that your activity range is only 10, 11, 12, and 13 floors. The ghost will wake up after an hour and start killing people. Those killed by the ghost will also become ghosts..”

The message was very short, only three sentences. The staff at Night Light Studio didn't take it to heart. They were making horror games. Every time the game was released, the messages from players were more than ten times scarier than this..

“Why did this game become a reality? "Gao Ming recognized it immediately. A few years ago, a client felt that work was too boring and wanted to find some excitement, so they made this office escape game for them..

This game must be solved within an hour. The longer you go, the more ghosts you will get. And if you want to pass the level, you must accurately kill the person possessed by the ghost. In other words, you must kill one person..

Gao Ming ran out to chase Wei Dayou, but the elevator door closed at this moment..

“Great friend! "Gao Ming pressed the elevator button, and he suddenly felt the sound of breathing behind him..

“This prank is quite boring. You don’t really believe it, do you? "Xia Yang's voice suddenly appeared next to Gao Ming, startling him..

“Why don't you make any sound when you walk? "Gao Ming used the light in the house to carefully observe Xia Yang.

“Do you think I am a ghost? "Xia Yang laughed.

“Teacher Xia, if this game became real, what would you do? "Gao Ming asked with a tentative tone..

“Just commit suicide. I don’t dare to kill and I’m afraid of pain..”

“But suicide means you kill yourself, and your hands are stained with blood." Before Gao Ming finished speaking, another elevator in the building suddenly stopped on the 13th floor where the night light was..

The silver-gray elevator door slowly opened. The delivery boy Su Mo and the one-man game Manager Ma ran out of the elevator in panic. Their expressions were extremely frightened and they tried their best to stay away from each other..

In addition to the two people in the elevator, there was a male corpse with a torn eye corner and a computer bag tightly grasped in both hands..

“He is a ghost! The ghost killed someone! "Su Mo shouted loudly, as if he was crazy..

“He is the ghost! The ghost is in his body! "Manager Ma kept a distance from Su Mo and shouted at Gao Ming and the others..

“It turns out that men can also make such harsh sounds." Xia Yang covered his ears, squinted at the two people in front of him, and muttered in a low voice: "They are dead. It seems that what the text message said is true..”

Xia Yang didn't know if it was because he was being arrogant or for other reasons. He seemed to have experienced similar games before. Not only was he not afraid, he also had a smile on his face..

Walking between Su Mo and Manager Ma, Gao Ming came to the body..

Untying the collar of the corpse, he saw obvious body spots: "The time of death of the deceased should be 24 hours ago. The murderer is most likely not the two people in the elevator..”

“It wasn't them, so why were they in the elevator with the corpse? Xia Yang glanced at the messages on his phone: "Is it possible that the ghost is hiding in them?"？”

Gao Ming nodded: "The ghost may have been trapped in the corpse at first, and they touched the body, which is highly suspicious. Of course, other situations cannot be ruled out. Maybe the ghost deliberately asked us to focus on them, so that They are both scapegoats.”

“This ghost is quite cunning.”

“The game designer understands human psychology very well. It isolates these two people, causing the conflict between the safety of the group and individual lives. When everyone is forced to have no choice, someone will definitely take action against them, and maybe everyone will let them go. They go and kill each other." Gao Ming's original design was not that complicated. Later in the game, Wei Dayou perfected it according to the customer's requirements: "Human nature is very fragile. Once you take the first step, the bottom line will be constantly broken down. until the humanity is completely lost.”

“Some unscrupulous companies also exploit their employees in this way." Xia Yang was very optimistic: "In any case, the ghost is definitely not in our studio. Everyone is working overtime and no one goes to other floors..”

“We are safe for the time being, but according to the information, the ghosts will wake up in an hour and start killing people. By then, no one may be able to believe it..”

“Yes, so the possessed person must be found within an hour.”

Su Mo and Manager Ma were still arguing. They called each other a ghost and their emotions were on the verge of losing control..

“You two, stop arguing first and speak slowly." Xia Yang showed a completely different calmness than usual..

“After delivering the takeout, I went downstairs and met the body in the elevator! At the beginning, the ghost was on the corpse. He told me many things. Every time he said a word, the elevator would be covered by a layer of shadow! Su Mo wiped the tears from his eyes: "Then we met Manager Ma on the elevator. The corpse had a grudge against Manager Ma. It had been waiting for Manager Ma!" When Manager Ma came up, he strangled him to death and then got into Manager Ma's body.！”

“Nonsense! He is lying! He is the ghost! Manager Ma took off his collar: "Look!" There were no strangulation marks on my neck at all. I was on the phone in the underground parking lot when I suddenly heard a strange noise in the elevator, so I went over to check. Who knew that as soon as the elevator door opened, I was dragged in by him, the deliveryman said Someone wants to kill him! But besides him, there was only one body in the elevator！”
