Chapter 3: The First Deceased

"Good afternoon." After Dai Shikai came to the company, he said hello to his colleagues as usual, and then returned to his workstation and turned on the computer. He and Li Wenqiao were in the same design department, so they only came to the company the next afternoon. Dai Shikai leisurely poured a cup of hot tea, turned on the computer and took a look at "The Strange Tales of the Pen Fairy". This was the horror movie they watched last night, and he soon found information about the film on the Internet.

The plot of "The Tale of the Pen Fairy" is very simple, mainly about a group of young people who died on a certain trip, playing the game of the pen fairy. At first, everyone had an exciting mentality and tried a few times curiously, but in the end, they really summoned the pen fairy. Out of fear, one of them subconsciously let go of his hand, and as a result, the pen fairy was not sent away in time.

Subsequently, during their investigation, everyone discovered that there had been a murder in the abandoned building where the pen fairy was playing at that time, and what they summoned was the ghost of the woman who died in that case twenty years ago. Since that night, several people have often been haunted by nightmares, and the figure of the female ghost can be seen from time to time, and it didn't take long for the people involved in the event to die mysteriously one by one.

The movie ends with an open-ended ending, and the line of "the next one is you" also indicates that the remaining people will not escape the end of doom in the end. The film has a high rating on the Internet, and although the plot is relatively old-fashioned, it still won unanimous praise from the audience for its terrifying and exciting special effects and scenes. As Lu Qing said, in order to pass the review, most domestic horror movies pretend to be ghosts or have schizophrenic endings, but in this movie, there are real ghosts, and this alone is enough to attract people's attention.

However, when he saw the names of the director and screenwriter, Dai Shikai was taken aback. He immediately called Li Wenqiao, and the other party's eyes widened in surprise after reading the text on the Internet: "This...... It can't be a coincidence, right? ”

The director and screenwriter of this horror film are the same person, named Xu Wen. The name may be unremarkable in the eyes of others, but for the members of the Third District, it is a thunderbolt. Because he is the powerful ghost that Bai Qi and others encountered in the mission "Ghost Curse" half a year ago!

Dai Shikai quickly clicked on the link and checked, and the result was completely unexpected. The man in the photo is really what the director looked like. "What are you two looking at?" As the two pondered over the computer, a voice came from behind them.

"Ah, team leader!" Li Wenqiao turned around and nodded at the middle-aged man. This person's name is Wang Guangxing, who is currently the head of the design department, he has worked in this company for more than ten years, has rich project experience, and treats people without a frame on weekdays, so he is very popular with everyone.

"Are you two still working on yesterday's movie?" Wang Guangxing took a sip of coffee unhurriedly, and continued: "But also, yesterday's film was really scary, I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, my old man went back last night and had some insomnia." ”

"Well, we think it's scary, too. Isn't this Akai working with me Baidu director? We want to see who is so talented and makes such a great film. Li Wenqiao said with a smile.

"This film was taken by Xu Wen." Wang Guangxing was a little curious: "Many of his films are quite famous, even me, a middle-aged person, knows it, you two young people don't know?" "Really? We don't have much of that. Dai Shikai scratched his head.

"That Xu Wen, is he still alive?" Li Wenqiao asked cautiously. "Of course, they're not very old, only in their forties, so they seem to be about the same as me." Wang Guangxing said with some amusement.

"Boss, did you choose this movie?" Dai Shikai pretended to ask casually. "Yes, there weren't any good movies at that point last night, I thought about you young people who are bold and love to watch excitement, didn't you pick this movie." Wang Guangxing replied happily.

"Oh." The two glanced at each other, and the location of this mission was actually parallel to the mission world of Bai Qi and others half a year ago. But there is another situation, and the possibility that Xu Wen himself is still a ghost cannot be ruled out.

"By the way, you two don't stay here either, let's get to work." Wang Guangxing suddenly remembered what was going on. Ever since everyone came here, I've been busy every day. At first, everyone was worried that they would not be able to handle it well, but they found that their minds seemed to have been instilled with various work-related skills, such as Dai Shikai, who was originally a programmer, and was also very comfortable when using design software.

"Shi Kai, you will dock with Xiao Pan in a while. The first draft of her design will be available to you in no time. ”

"What?" Dai Shikai didn't react for a while: "Who is Xiao Pan?" New to the scene? In his memory, none of the colleagues in the design department had the surname Pan.

Wang Guangxing saw that he was confused, and the expression on his face was a little strange. And his next sentence made Li Wenqiao and Dai Shikai goosebumps: "Xiao Pan is our department, don't you always work with her?" ”

Dai Shikai instantly realized that something was wrong, since he came to the company, he has always been a partner with Shao Qing at work, that is, the girl who was almost picked up by him last night. But today, there is inexplicably an extra "Xiao Pan".

"Hey, I'm kidding you." For fear of arousing the suspicion of the other party, Dai Shikai could only snort. After Wang Guangxing listened to his words, his doubts were also dispelled: "This way, it's not funny at all." Okay, okay, I'm not going to talk to you anymore, I have something to deal with. Remember to send me an email when you're ready. ”

"Okay, head go slowly!" After Wang Guangxing left, the expressions of the two returned to solemnity. "Is this the official start of the mission?" Dai Shikai and Li Wenqiao looked around, and soon found a strange short-haired girl at the workstation that originally belonged to Shao Qing.

As if sensing the gaze of the two, the girl suddenly raised her head and looked straight in the direction where they were. It was at that moment that the girl's face suddenly became bloody and blurred, and then returned to normal. She gave them a weird smile and lowered her head as if tapping on the keyboard.

Fortunately, Li Wenqiao and Dai Shikai's psychological quality is not bad, and they did not show an overreaction when they were frightened. Although they knew that there was a ghost in the office, they did not lose their minds and scrambled, but returned to their respective workstations.

Soon, Dai Shikai's QQ lit up. He hovered his mouse and realized that the message was coming from an account named "Xiao Pan" in the list. It seems that except for the memories of a few of them, everything related to Shao Qing's identity has been replaced by this powerful ghost.

If you were an ordinary person, you would definitely not dare to click on the message sent by the ghost, but Dai Shikai did not hesitate too much, he opened the dialog box with a calm expression. What the other party sent over was a PSD source file. After opening it, Dai Shikai found that it was just an ordinary working document.

"I have some thoughts on the theme of this time...... "What is surprising is that the ghost sent it is also work-related content. After Dai Shikai read this passage, he pondered for a few seconds, and then replied to the other party with this sentence: Are you a human or a ghost?
