Chapter 1: Strange Games
When he came out of the small office, the hour hand had already pointed to twelve o'clock, Lin Hui stood downstairs in the company, looked up helplessly at the gray sky, and sighed in his mouth, "For a new game, I work overtime every day without compensation, this is not my company!" ”
But complaining is complaining, and life has to go on. Lin Hui shrank back to resist some of the cold, and then walked towards the intersection, only when he got there, could he get a taxi back to the house he had just rented.
At the intersection, while waiting for the empty car, Lin Hui unconsciously glanced back at the company's simple and poor signboard with the four big characters "Xinghui Game". A month ago, the image of the young boss of this company swearing to promise immediately rushed into Lin Hui's mind.
He remembers the young boss who was not much different from him saying, "In the future, as long as our game is successfully launched, we will definitely be able to catch up with all the games on the market, so that everyone will love it and spend a lot of money." When the time comes, everyone will be waiting to get rich! ”
Thinking of this passage, Lin Hui wanted to laugh, through the hard work of the past month, he also knew clearly what the game that the boss said could make a lot of money was.
"Hehe, it's just such a game, it's almost the same to deceive fools!" Lin Hui said unintuitively.
There should have been a lot of empty cars on the road at this time of day, but tonight I surprisingly didn't see one. Lin Hui glanced at both ends of the road from afar, and reluctantly took out the mobile phone in his pocket, planning to book a car to pick him up.
But when the familiar mobile phone appeared in front of him, he was dumbfounded, because it was not his mobile phone at all!
"Huh? What's going on, I got someone else's phone wrong? Lin Hui instinctively thought like this, and wanted to run back to the company quickly. But at this moment, the unfamiliar mobile phone suddenly vibrate, and at the same time, the mobile phone screen also lit up.
I saw that a dark red background picture appeared on the screen, and there was no software icon on it at all.
Lin Hui, who was rushing towards the company, glanced at the strange screen, but didn't think much about it, just that the owner of this mobile phone had different habits from ordinary people.
Why, in the next second, the words that appeared on the screen forced him to stop suddenly.
"Lin Hui, welcome to Deathland!"
For this kind of introduction, Lin Hui is very familiar. Because it's something that game practitioners like him come into contact with almost every day.
"Is it a new mobile game? Why do you know my name? In the dim alley, Lin Hui looked carefully at the mobile phone in his hand, and after a while, a detail caught his attention.
"How can there be no brand logo? And I feel like I've never seen a mobile phone with this style. Lin Hui muttered, feeling inexplicable.
At this time, the mobile phone suddenly vibrated again, and then the line of welcome just now dissipated, replaced by a line of words that no matter how Lin Hui wanted to refuse, it was impossible to refuse.
"Successfully pass the test of Deathland, and you will receive a cash prize of 5 million yuan!"
The white screen was bright, and Lin Hui's face looked extremely gloomy from a distance. He blinked vigorously to make sure what he was seeing was real.
After a while, Lin Hui moved his gaze to the bottom of the string of words, where there were two flashing prompt buttons, "Agree, refuse." ”
Although he has only graduated from college for three years, Lin Hui, who is not stupid, still understands the truth that pies will not fall from the sky. But on second thought, this is just a mobile game, so what can it lose?
So, Lin Hui's finger moved from 'refuse' to 'agree' and focused on it. Who would have thought that the 'agree' button flashed several times in succession, and the entire mobile phone screen suddenly went black.
"Hey, it won't be so unlucky, right, just out of power?" Lin Hui stomped his feet impatiently, and wanted to run back to the company quickly to find his mobile phone and charger.
"Lin Hui?" Before Lin Hui could walk, a puzzled voice suddenly sounded in the shadows not far away, and then a person ran over quickly, Lin Hui heard the sound and hurriedly stuffed the weird mobile phone back into his pocket, and at the same time pretended to be calm and said hello, "Mr. Zhang, haven't you gone home yet?" ”
"Hehe, this should be me asking you, why is a person standing here talking to himself?" Mr. Zhang, who spoke, was the boss of Xinghui Games, Zhang Zhendong.
"Oh, nothing, nothing." Lin Hui hurriedly covered up, for fear that what he said just now would be heard by Zhang Zhendong, "The company door is locked?" ”
Zhang Zhendong nodded, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's nothing, I seem to have left my phone behind." Lin Hui responded with a faint smile, "Since the door is locked, forget it." ”
"Okay, then hurry home, there is a tough battle to fight tomorrow!" After Zhang Zhendong finished speaking, he smiled to himself and took the lead towards the road.
Lin Hui hesitated slightly, and after thinking that there was a spare charger at home, he followed. In a short period of time, in order not to be too embarrassed, Lin Hui took the initiative to say, "Mr. Zhang, mobile games may be popular for at least five or six years in the future, and we are still focusing on computer games, will it be a little late?" ”
Zhang Zhendong walked silently to the intersection and stopped, his eyes were like catching prey, looking for a taxi that was coming from a distance, he beckoned, and when the taxi stopped, he immediately opened the door and sat down.
It's just that the car door was not closed immediately, and Lin Hui, who was about to leave to wait for another taxi, heard Zhang Zhendong in the car throw out a strange and inexplicable sentence, "Maybe tomorrow, everything will change." ”
Lin Hui looked at the taxi that was getting farther away, and had to shake his head helplessly, "Hehe, tomorrow will not be the same overtime, what can change." ”
Back downstairs in the rental room, it was already more than one o'clock in the morning, Lin Hui stood at the bottom of the small and old building, looked up at his dark room at the corner of the third floor, and couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.
"If only there were five million!" He thought of the amount of money prompted on his phone for no reason, and then sighed and stepped onto the dusty staircase.
At this time, the whole building has lost any light, and the tenants have fallen into a deep sleep. The light bulbs in the stairwell have not been replaced for a long time, and as soon as they are turned on, they will flash again and again, showing an oozing atmosphere.
When he came to the third floor, Lin Hui relaxed his steps, for fear that he would disturb the neighbors and attract complaints and scolding. In fact, after living here for more than a month, because he often came home late at night, he also heard the complaints of his neighbors, so that every time, he could only smile aggrievedly and promise not to be so noisy next time.
Soon, standing in front of his house, Lin Hui took out the key from his trouser pocket and planned to open the door. But at this moment, the iron door suddenly made a 'creak' and opened by itself.
"The wind blows? Forgot to lock the door in the morning? Lin Hui shook his head in annoyance, "The serious lack of sleep caused by continuous overtime has made me unable to remember what happened in the morning." ”
So, Lin Hui put away the key, gently pushed the door and walked in.
The darkness of the room seemed to open its arms and immediately embraced him into its arms. Lin Hui stood at the door in a daze, his eyes slowly adjusting to the darkness.
But gradually, he noticed an unusual smell in the room, it was a faint fishy smell, but it couldn't stop coming to his nose, sticky, disgusting.
Feeling the smell, Lin Hui's eyes widened in the pitch black, carefully searching for the source of the smell. Finally, he saw a motionless figure sitting on a wooden chair beside his humble desk by the wall.
Immediately, Lin Hui only felt a burst of creepy, his legs trembled and became weak, and he couldn't even do a simple action of turning around and escaping.
"Who could it be? I don't have anything of value here, can I still be a thief? Lin Hui asked himself urgently, his arm trembled and raised, and his palm fumbled for the switch on the wall.
"Ahem!" A sudden coughing sound sounded in the neighbor's house, causing Lin Hui to shiver violently, and his body almost collapsed to the ground.
'Buzz! Then his pocket suddenly buzzed. This movement completely destroyed the courage that Lin Hui had just accumulated in his heart.
He was familiar with the sound because it meant the phone was vibrating.
But why does the mobile phone still vibrate when it is out of power and turned off?
It was as if all the nerves in his whole hand were beating with fear and fear, and it took a while for Lin Hui to take out the strange mobile phone tremblingly.
I saw that the screen lit up again, and a line of words appeared on it: First level, facing the corpse on the chair, how do you do it within twenty-four hours, without being arrested. Completion reward, 100,000 yuan.
