Chapter 20: Can You See Me?
Su Mo has always been a very hard worker, and since he was a child, his grades have always remained in the top five of his class.
Study hard, go to work part-time in his spare time, Su Mu doesn't have much ideals, he just wants to enter a good company after graduation and earn money as soon as possible to share the pressure for his family.
Although Su Mo has not yet graduated, he occasionally fantasizes about his future working life......
"What do I ask you? What have you heard? ”
Gao Ming's tone became cold, and he shuddered in fright, and a marquee of life appeared in the mind of this simple college student just now.
"Nope." Su Mo immediately shook his head: "I didn't hear anything!" ”
"Don't be curious about things you shouldn't be curious about." Gao Ming blocked the door with his body: "This world is more complicated than you think, go home early at night and don't work too late outside." ”
"Understood, understood." Su Mo picked up his electric car helmet, turned around and ran, faster than last time.
Panting and rushing into the elevator, Su Mo desperately pressed the close button, and only after the silver-gray elevator door closed, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"The workplace is horrible."
The building was very cool, and he stood in the corner of the elevator with a silent wipe of the sweat from his forehead, and at this time two men next to him, one tall and one short, were chatting quietly.
"The night before yesterday, a programmer on the 11th floor died suddenly after working overtime, and his colleagues thought he was asleep, and worked next to the corpse for a while before realizing that something was wrong."
"It's scary, the game industry is too volatile now, and earning this little money every day is not enough to see a doctor."
"Do you know what's even more terrifying?" The short man beckoned and lowered his voice: "I heard my friend say that when he went out of the office door last night, he saw that there were still people working in the house, so he didn't turn off the lights. Then the man turned his back to him and said - it's okay, I don't need a light to see. ”
"I rub? Is it the programmer who died suddenly is back? ”
"I don't know! Anyway, my friend was stunned at the time, and later found out that the person was sitting at the deceased's workstation, and the computer screen seemed to be full of garbled characters! ”
The elevator shook, and the two men walked out, leaving him alone in the elevator.
He stared at the numbers on the elevator display, a little scared, and the story told by the two male staff members just now echoed in his ears.
The blood-red number kept changing until it became 11.
The elevator door slowly opened, but there was no one outside, the cold wind of the air conditioner poured down the collar into the neck, looking at the empty corridor silently, the heart seemed to be scratched by a few small hands, and it became more and more uneasy.
A few seconds later, the elevator was about to close, and a male employee with a computer bag hurriedly ran into the elevator.
Seeing that someone was with him, Su Mo also breathed a sigh of relief, he hugged his helmet tightly, took out his mobile phone and prepared to continue taking orders.
Staring at the phone screen, Su Mo suddenly felt a little strange, he deflected the phone screen, changed to selfie mode, and suddenly found that the male employee just now had been looking at him since he got on the elevator.
The Adam's apple rolled, and Su Mo secretly glanced at the male employee, and the other party's eyes were staring straight at him.
Dodging backwards, silently leaning against the elevator, the male clerk maintained the same expression, his mouth opening a little bit.
"So you can really see me."
……
Gao Ming didn't chase Su Mo, he stayed at the door of the utility room, silently drinking his cup of milk tea.
As the number of downloads of "To Our Dying Love" continues to increase, Xuanwen's situation has also become worse, and her self-will has grown rapidly while becoming crazy because she has eaten too many emotions.
At half past nine in the evening, the lights were turned off in many rooms in the office building, and the last staff bus had left.
In addition to the nightlight studio, only the fifth-ranked unicorn game studio under Motu Technology is still working overtime.
There are very few people in the night light studio, and the overtime is because there is no work at all, and finally there is a project, so everyone is very hard.
The number of staff in the unicorn game studio is several times that of the night light, occupying three floors exclusively, their studio is the most volatile studio of Motu Technology, and the staff are all rolling kings, and nine o'clock in the evening is their normal off-duty time.
"Don't you want to die to make money? The inmates of the Hesan Prison have all returned to their houses after the labor camp at this time. "Gao Ming was worried that Xuanwen would kill out of control, and hoped that everyone would leave quickly, but it backfired, and everyone rolled up tonight.
"High life! We've already downloaded more than 15,000 downloads of the demo version! Wei Dayou was very excited, and ran to the door of the utility room, wanting to share the good news with Gao Ming: "There is no big publicity, players are spontaneously inviting friends to play, and our game has the possibility of breaking the circle!" ”
"It's good."
"You're right! We should be able to survive with this game! Wei Dayou made a cup of coffee: "Our studio hasn't seen the game turnover dividends for seven months, and now everyone's passion has also been mobilized!" ”
"They don't talk about it, but they actually have a lot of feelings for the night light." Gao Ming himself has worked with Nightlight for a long time, and knows that this studio has been brilliant.
"We're going to have to make a good comeback this time!" Wei Dayou had no intention of leaving, which made Gao Ming have a headache.
"Otomo, let's hurry up and go back to rest after work, it's too late."
"I'm not going back today! Guys are going to fight! Wei Dayou took a sip of coffee and returned to his workstation.
"What a backbone." Gao Ming glanced at the number of downloaders of the demo version, which was still growing, and knocked on the door of the utility room: "Xuanwen, are you better?" ”
No one responded, and Takami was a little worried, and he opened the door through a crack.
The lights were distorted, and there was not a glimmer of light in the utility room, only large shadows that shook like ghost fires.
"Xuanwen?"
The woman in professional attire was enveloped in shadows, her eyes closed, and tiny black blood vessels emerging from the surface of her skin, which were connected to shadows at one end and gathered and wound inside her at the other.
"It's a bit like a chain between Zhao Xi and me."
Zhao Xi was turned into a monster by the unknown world, all the weird and terrifying abilities in his body came from another world, and his own memories, regrets and obsessions turned into black blood vessels like chains, which were wrapped around his wrists and Gao Ming's wrists.
Zhao Xi is a person in reality, but Xuan Wen was designed by Gao Ming, she has no connection with the real world, but when more than 10,000 people know about her existence through the game, that kind of tiny black blood vessels also grow in her body.
"If you believe it, you don't believe it, if you don't believe it, strong emotional stimulation may be able to keep strange stories in people's hearts forever, no wonder those weird people like to spread terror."
Gao Ming stepped into the shadows, and he stared at Xuan Wen's white neck.
All the tiny blood vessels that had just appeared converged there, and finally formed a chain-like existence, which seemed to be Xuanwen's obsession and memory core.
"Destroy the chains, Xuan Wen may be sent back to the shadow world in a coma, or she may collapse and lose control; Connect the chains to me, and I may be able to rob her of her abilities. ”
The opportunity to "kill" Xuan Wen and "dominate" Xuan Wen was in front of him, and Gao Ming's hand was slowly raised, but in the end he just picked up the unopened cup of milk tea next to Xuan Wen.
"It's hard to have a self, and if you leave without experiencing the good, it's really cruel." Gao Ming lifted the lid of the milk tea and drank it tons and tons: "Room temperature, it's delicious without ice." ”
Gao Ming left the utility room with milk tea, and after he closed the door and walked away, Xuan Wen's closed eyes slowly opened.
"I'm giving you a chance, am I letting you drink milk tea?"
