Chapter 1: Horror Headlines
rain
From the evening onwards, it gets bigger and bigger.
Deep City,
At this moment, it has become a veritable "deep city".
The first typhoon to make landfall this year gave Shencheng an unceremonious dismount.
No one expected that such a typhoon, which could not even stop work and classes, would bring such heavy rainfall to Shencheng.
The city's main roads are in a sea of water, and traffic is paralyzed.
Lin Chu stood at the bus stop, soaking wet, and the water under his feet had already reached his calves.
At this rain and rain and dimly lit bus stop, he was the only one waiting for the bus.
Lin Chu now deeply understands what it means to have a house leak that rains overnight.
Before leaving work, he was told by the HR of the company's personnel department that the internship was over and he would not have to come again from tomorrow.
It's not because he doesn't have enough ability.
It's because he doesn't have an uncle who is the head of the district.
The one who entered the company for an internship together, fished for three days and dried nets for two days, arrived late and left early every day, and couldn't even insert pictures into WORD documents, and finally stayed.
From the beginning, he just accompanied the prince to study.
But it was only at the last minute that I knew.
All hope was dashed in the contemptuous laughter of HR in the afternoon.
"Hey!"
Lin Chu sighed deeply and cheered up at the same time.
Think of it as your first lesson in society.
In the midst of boredom, Lin Chu took out his mobile phone and prepared to brush Zhihu to relieve his mood.
"Hey, when was this ordered?"
Seeing an extra icon on the desktop of his mobile phone, Lin Chu was very confused.
Today's headlines?
This is the app he hates the most.
The self-media above were shocked and scared every day...... All kinds of headline parties that have no lower limit in order to attract attention.
He downloaded it once, but uninstalled it in less than five minutes.
And that was a long time ago.
Why is it suddenly reappearing now?
Take a closer look.
It's not today's headlines.
It's horror headlines!
The LOGO icon is almost exactly the same as today's headlines, which are all open newspapers, with two big white characters on a red background of "headlines" in the middle.
But the four words at the bottom of the icon are terrifying headlines.
"These days, even today's headlines have a copycat version?"
Lin Chu became interested in this copycat APP, and clicked on it casually.
He wanted to know, why is this APP called this name, and what are the headlines? How terrifying is it?
As a result, the content in it made Lin Chu almost vomit a mouthful of old blood.
"Don't throw the zombies you dig up, wrap them in breadcrumbs and put them in the oil pan, and the children next door are crying. Text: Nanyang Provincial Governor"
"Shocked! The female ghost on the side of the road is so **, do you dare to go on after reading it? Text/Maoshan Xiaoxiaosheng"
"Some live broadcasts are to make money, and my live broadcasts are to make money, welcome to my midnight live broadcast...... Text/Anchor Zihang"
His charming wife went to the old Wang's house next door every night, and the truth turned out to be ...... Text/Midnight Emotion"
"The first online temple in Daomen is online! Sexy Dao Gu, online fortune telling, remote ghost catching, online rituals, come to me ^_^ [Advertising Promotion]"
……
Looking at the familiar "headline-style headlines" on the screen, Lin Chu was stunned.
it! What the hell?
Why are they all zombie female ghosts, underworld wives and aunts, these messy and strange things?
He clicked on the top headline.
The author is the governor of Nanyang Province.
The title is Don't throw the zombies that are dug up, wrap them in breadcrumbs and fry them in an oil pan, and the children next door are crying.
The content is how to steal corpses and raise ghosts.
The more Lin Chu looked at it, the more he frowned, this is no longer a title party, it is simply nonsense.
At the end of the article, there are more than 500 comments on the post.
However, it is prompted that non-registered users cannot view it, so please register now.
This kind of neurotic copycat software, who wants to register!
Lin Chu right-clicked to return to the main page, and after preparing to exit, the backhand was an uninstall.
But at that moment, he suddenly saw such a message title-
"Heavy rain in Shenzhen, at 8 o'clock in the evening, a couple was electrocuted at Xianghai Garden Station on Mingzhu Road. Text/Shencheng Lingbao"
Lin Chu trembled!
Mingzhu Road, Xianghai Garden Station......
Isn't that where you're standing now?
And it's 8 p.m. now!
Zi~Zi~Zi~
Lin Chu suddenly heard a faint sound of electricity.
Turn around and look.
The advertising signs behind him gradually dimmed, then regained their brightness, and gradually dimmed, and the cycle continued.
Not good!
This is a precursor to an imminent short circuit due to water ingress into the line!
Lin Chu's scalp was numb for a while, and goosebumps all over his body stood up.
He made a quick decision, stepped on the knee-high water, braved a strong storm, and hurried out to the left.
At this time, two young men and women walked up to them.
The boy held an umbrella in one hand and the girl in the other, and the two struggled to move forward in the water.
They were apparently going to the platform to wait for the train.
Lin Chu was surprised, could they be the couple who were about to be electrocuted on the headlines?
So he hurriedly stopped them: "Don't go any further!" The light sign on the platform is flooded and leaking! It's dangerous! ”
When the little couple heard this, they were very shocked, and hurriedly turned around and walked back with Lin Chu.
The three of them had just reached a safe place when there was a burst of frightened screams all around.
The screamers all stared in the direction of the platform.
Lin Chu was thinking in his heart at that time: It's broken! Something must have happened!
He turned to look back.
The two corpses floated stiffly in front of the platform signs......
Judging by the body's fashionable and beautiful dress, the victims were two young urban boys.
Lin Chu was stunned, blaming himself in his heart.
Although he saved the couple in front of him, two people were still electrocuted.
It's as if there's some sort of quantitative balance in the dark.
If you don't interfere or interfere -
The young couple came from the left, and the two boys came from the right.
The young couple will obviously arrive at the platform earlier than the boys.
So the little couple will be electrocuted, just like the news on the horror headlines.
When the two boys saw someone electrocuted and fell to the ground, they naturally did not continue to walk to the platform and survived.
I saved two people, but I also indirectly killed two people......
The rescued girl next to her covered her mouth all of a sudden, and cried out in fright: "Brother! I—I'm so scared ......"
Elder brother?!!
Lin Chu was shocked, looked at the two of them in surprise and asked, "You ...... Are you brothers and sisters? ”
The two nodded in confusion, they didn't understand why Lin Chu was so surprised.
If these two are not a couple, then ......
Lin Chu immediately turned his head to look behind him again.
The two male corpses on the water sank and floated, their hands, their fingers interlocked, clasped together!
Lin Chu instantly went from his head to his back and finally to the soles of his feet.
The news that was released in advance on the horror headlines turned out to be a real reality.
It turns out that the two urban boys are the couple in the headline.
The brother and sister who were lucky enough to escape the catastrophe came back to their senses at this time and thanked Lin Chu for their kindness.
Lin Chu was so immersed in the shock of the horror headlines that his mind was so confused that he didn't listen to it at all, and he didn't care what they were saying.
Instead, he buried his head and walked to the high ground where there was no stagnant water.
The tragic death of the two boys just now made him have a shadow of the water on the road at this time.
After walking to an absolutely safe place, Lin Chu couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone, wanting to take a good look at the news.
The Horror Headlines app reloaded, and a prompt box popped up on the interface:
"Sorry, this software is only for registered members, your current 15 minutes of new guest experience time has been used up, if you need to continue to use this software, please register as a member immediately."
Lin Chu did not hesitate, and immediately clicked "Register" in the lower right corner.
The registration of this mobile phone software is similar to the registration of general software, fill in the mobile phone number, receive the verification code, and set personal details.
In order to be able to see the details of the news as soon as possible, Lin Chu chose to skip all the setting options that could be skipped.
It's like sneaking to an Internet café in the middle of the night to charter the night, looking like a high school student who is in a hurry to sign up for a small movie website membership.
The last option of the registration process:
"Do you want to immediately open your own Horror Headlines Baijia Account, become a horror headline content self-media, and earn rich rewards?"
Lin Chu still chose to skip.
After completing the registration, I finally returned to the main content interface.
However, at this time, Lin Chu found that after the refresh of the interface, all the random recommended content he saw at the beginning had been replaced, including the news.
Fortunately, the system provides a search function.
Lin Chu vaguely remembered that the Baijia account that released the headline was called Shencheng Newspaper.
Deep City Ghost Report, no, no, deep city...... Deep City Spiritual Retribution!
Lin Chu finally remembered and hurriedly typed in the search box.
While successfully finding the Baijia number, Lin Chu also saw the latest article in the list below, which was just published by the Deep City Spirit Newspaper three minutes ago:
"At 9 o'clock in the evening, a fire broke out in the headquarters building of Fu'an Group, and 12 people were killed."
Lin Chu seemed to have been struck by a thunderbolt, and the whole person was stunned, and the back of his neck was cold.
Fu'an Group,
this
Isn't this the same company I did my previous internship with?
