"Obviously isn't it? This is a magazine that publishes short stories of horror. Zhao Qiqi spread his hands, then turned around and looked elsewhere.

The five of us glanced at each other, and then we all went in different directions to check.

Judging from the current observation, this should be a large magazine, and the content published is mostly suspense, horror, thriller, supernatural and other short stories.

There are about forty or so desks in the area, many of which still have steaming glasses.

That is, there should have been someone else here before.

But I don't know why, but now it's just the six of us.

He looked down and glanced at the clothes on his body.

Only then did I realize that I had a work card on my chest.

Some curiously picked it up and looked at it, and it actually read "Reporter and writer of the 'Night and Night Terror' column - Ban Zheng (Gao Wei)".

Half a catastrophe?

Could it be something like a pen name?

I frowned, turned around and told the others about my findings, and they quickly began to check the tableau cards on their chests.

It turns out that in addition to me, Situ Cao and Wang Yi are also reporters and writers for the 'Night and Night Terror' column, and their pen names are Red Butterfly and Moyu respectively.

Judging from the content published by the magazine on the table, it seems that at the end of each issue of the horror and suspense magazine "Dark Night", there will be a column section called "Night and Night Terror".

The section is usually composed of well-known journalists from the magazine, who interview different people according to the different topics of each issue.

These interviewees are usually people who have encountered some bizarre or supernatural event in real life.

The interviewer will organize and revise the experience or story described by the interviewee, and publish it with the consent of the interviewee, which is probably the style of this section.

Judging from the records of the desktop documents, this section was very popular with readers in the past because it was full of real events.

As for Zhao Qiqi, Zhang Qiang, and Du Deming, there are signs of intern reporters hanging in front of them, and it is inferred from the game setting that they should be intern college students who are about to graduate.

After learning all this information, I began to wonder again.

"But what does it have to do with our games?" I touched my chin, puzzled.

Just when everyone was a little confused, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside.

We looked at each other, and our expressions became wary.

Who?

Is it coming?

At this moment, the automatic frosted glass door outside the office area suddenly opened.

Then, an old man from the Mediterranean, who was no more than 1.6 meters tall, walked in.

When he saw the six of us, he was stunned, and his expressionless face was a little more angry.

"Gao Wei, Wang Yi, Situ Cao!! What's going on with a few of you? Everyone else has already gone out for interviews, why are you still in the office? Time is running out until this issue is published! One by one, you're still lazy all day long. Speaking of this, the old man seemed to be angry with his own words, he kept panting, and only looked at us again as if he had compromised for a long time: "Okay, okay, I have long guessed that you haven't gone out yet, and I won't talk about the rest." ”

He threw something on the desk in front of me with some discouragement, and in this gap, I could see the work card on his chest - "Lu Shang, Editor-in-Chief of Dark Night Magazine".

"The theme of this issue of 'Night and Night Terror' has been finalized as 'Who is the madman', and the interview subject is a mentally ill patient in a city called Mingshan Mental Hospital, and to be more specific, it is the protagonist of the 'emotional infection' incident that caused a stir some time ago - Mina, a girl in red. I've already arranged the formalities for you, so you can take a taxi now! It's about an hour's drive from the city, and the fare is reimbursed by the publishing house, so are there any questions? If not, let's go! The old man sighed: "If it weren't for the fact that a few of you are indeed the signboard of our publishing house, I really want each of you to write a letter of resignation and sweep you away." ”

My brain was racing, and in a few seconds, I had finally finished digesting the words of the old man from the Mediterranean.

Judging from his words, the three of us should all be reporters and writers of "Dark Night Magazine", but it seems that we usually rely on our own plate to be popular, so we love to be lazy.

Now, is his sentence a task assigned to us?

Confused, I reached for the object he had thrown on the table.

It's a document bag.

When I opened it, there was only one page inside.

After taking it out, I was able to read it clearly.

It's a letter of introduction.

The content is probably that our magazine sent three reporters and three interns to your hospital for interviews in the hope of getting assistance in order to find out the truth behind the strange incident and convey true information to the world.

I understood in an instant, and just as I was about to say something, the mechanical voice of the "True Demon" suddenly floated from somewhere.

"The player has successfully opened the game's story, and you are in a magazine in a certain city at the moment. With the letter of introduction given by the editor-in-chief of the magazine, you must arrive at the Mingshan Psychiatric Hospital within two hours and officially start the game. Since this game is a trigger-type normal horror game, there is no limit to the end time of the game. The game story needs to be triggered by the player independently, and if the player never triggers the push story, he will stay in the game world forever.

The following is announced the required task 1 of this game: successfully interview Mina, the girl in red, with 200 points. Required Quest 2: After the game officially starts, make sure that the rest of the team is conscious, and for each person secured, the player will receive an additional 70 points. Required task 3, successfully escaped from Mingshan Psychiatric Hospital after the interview was completed, 250 points. Required Quest 4, when the player escapes from the Famous Mountain Mental Hospital, he must confirm that he has independent consciousness and 200 points, otherwise the player's escape result will be deemed invalid, and the player is still unable to escape. Optional Mission 1: Successfully convince the girl in red to escape from the mental hospital with the player, 150 points. Other hidden optional missions will be randomly opened in the game.

I wish all players to actively participate in the game and succeed, succeed, and escape successfully...... Success, Escape, Escape! ”

Originally, it was just the same plot explanation as usual.

But when the "True Demon" prompted the last sentence, the voice was like a disc jammed, and it kept repeating mechanically.

It was like a short-circuited robot, and the sound of the machine sounded again and again.

Finally, after nearly ten pauses in the phrase "successfully escaped", the voice finally disappeared completely.

Then, our consciousness cleared again, and our eyes returned to the office area of the publishing house.

Hearing that voice just now made my scalp tingle.

I turned my head to look at the other people with a blue face, and found that their expressions were just as ugly.

This...... What the hell is going on?

"Gao Wei? Did you hear what I just said? Don't hurry up and go to the interview!! Just when we were all in a trance, the roar of the editor-in-chief Lu Shang came.
