Steven's news acumen gave him an unexpected boost, and less than a year after joining the company, he joined the news department, which has the largest number of people in the newsroom, as an editorial assistant.

Unlike major departments specializing in finance, entertainment, and sports, the Department of Information mainly collects news and information that is closely related to the local people.

As a result, the news information that Steven was exposed to was also refined a lot.

At this time, Steven was only in his twenties, which is the age at which Westerners often raise the question of "why are there so few Westerners?" In short, people in this age group are relatively fond of death.

In remote areas, there are many things to play.

The Civic Park directly opposite the press center has complete outdoor sports facilities, rugged bicycle paths, dedicated skateboard curves, and a small outdoor rock climbing field. Almost every month, there are reports of casualties among children and young people in this civic park, but there is still a steady stream of players who do not take good measures to protect themselves.

The city's art university is backed by the beach, and there are many people playing in the water there. Xiacheng is a port city, where pleasure boats, cargo ships, and ferries come and go, and there are often reports of illegal swimmers being drowned by the waves of large ships. Coupled with the inability to set up shark nets, there are people who are bitten to death by great white sharks during night tours every summer.

In addition, diving, mountaineering, caving, skydiving and other activities are also available.

But Steven chose a different direction - the mysterious (all the "mysteries" in this article are replaced by "supernatural").

Steven is a native of the province, but his hometown is in a small rural town three hours away from Summer Town. The university he studied at was also a relatively ordinary literary university in the countryside, but in the literary university, he also read some literature related to local mysteries.

At that time, there was a secret club at the school, but he didn't care much about it, until one day, he saw the death of several college classmates, one of whom was a well-known local folklorist who had now become his brother-in-law, in an obituary compiled by the news center.

After returning home for the funeral, Steven learned about the causes of death of several of his classmates.

In college, these classmates were all members of the mystery club, and even after graduation, they loved to collect all kinds of secret information, and then they could find time to "explore" together.

Although Steven's sister doesn't like secrets, this is her husband's only hobby that doesn't affect his life, and it's not easy to stop.

A few weeks ago, a few friends from the Mystery Society discovered new clues, and Steven's sister's husband did a lot of research on them, and told his wife that the discovery was probably a large historical event used to write a thesis.

Then, a few friends went out together for a few days, and when they returned, they didn't communicate, and Steven's sister's husband avoided talking about the exploration.

A few days later, the members of the secret society who went out to "explore" together died suddenly on the same day.

After learning about the incident, Steven suddenly remembered that he seemed to remember compiling a message sent to the press center by one of the deceased.

After returning to the news company, Steven checked, but found that several deceased people had sent "breaking news" to the news center within a few weeks.

Although the content is not quite the same, it seems that after organizing and organizing, it seems that the connection can be found. Unfortunately, the clues were relatively scattered, so the staff who compiled the information at the time didn't pay much attention to it, put it in a less important level of investigation, or simply threw it in the garbage as a joke.

After that, Steven's sister sent Steven her husband's research materials, which also connected the clues of the otherworldly fracture.

The story roughly begins with someone finding an Aboriginal-style antique somewhere, and by studying the language above the antique, they discover a "promised place".

Historically, the city of Summertown was the place where the Sunset Empire first landed in North America hundreds of years ago, and since then, the Sunset Empire has fought a bitter war with the aborigines, and the death toll on both sides is still uncountable. And in the remote dense forests of this province, there are also traces of the war between the empire and the aborigines. To this day, there are still indigenous villages in the mountains of northern China.

Nowadays, Canadian society is also trying to assimilate and accept Indigenous peoples, so in recent years, Indigenous life has also become a world-famous vision.

Members of the Esoteric Society believe in witchcraft, and it is clear that both sides used witchcraft during the war between the natives and the Empire on which the sun never sets.

Hundreds of years ago, when the aborigines saw that the war was about to be lost, they gathered the treasures of several tribes and hid them in the "promised land", and when the war was over, they could use the tokens to retrieve the treasures and glorify the tribe.

And the antiques they found were one of the tokens, with which they could obtain the treasures of this tribe.

After exploring the field, the people of the Secret Society found that the "Promised Land" was empty, and the treasure did not exist. It's not that the treasure has been taken, but the "treasure" of the aborigines, which doesn't seem to be the gold and silver treasures they imagined, but something invisible—the spirits, ghosts, and the like that their secret societies are chasing.

What they opened was Pandora's box.

As veteran members of the Secret Society, they also have some of their own means of saving their lives, and after killing the ghosts led by the tokens, several of them were able to return home safely. But the curse of the "Promised Land" was also planted on them.

Steven put this information together and submitted it to the cryptic edition of the time, but the manuscript was rejected because it was too ridiculous and there was no physical evidence.

It's normal for a manuscript to be rejected by an editor.

Steven is a fat nerd and doesn't think he's capable of dealing with ghosts, but he also wants to make it public, so he posts this information on a local forum.

No one replied to the truth of such a thing, but the mystery lovers who attracted it fell in love with Steven's style of horror novels, which earned a wave of praise.

So Steven liked this format, and specifically used his news acumen to connect some connected news, look for clues to mysterious events, and then post them on the forum.

He just sends out the clues, and as for what the reader thinks, thinks, and does, that's the reader's business.

In this way, it lasted for several years, because he liked to write "horror novels", and in the end, instead of staying in the news section, he took over the editing of the mystery edition.

After entering the mysterious version, all the information received was actually screened by the editing assistants below, and there were almost no sources of clues that could be contacted.

In addition, Steven also got married and had children, became the breadwinner of the family, and became more stable and no longer tried to seek excitement from secret information.

Therefore, he no longer writes "horror novels", and manages the mysterious version of an acre and three points of land with peace of mind, just like his predecessor, and writes some mysterious reports that are not painful.

Readers who had followed him because of the "horror story" were also disappointed in Steven and left one after another.

It wasn't until three years ago that a letter struck a journalistic nerve that Steven was no longer keen......
