This Short Film Went Viral!

Dead

The six-man team died in the Staircase W-FBC-0087.

At this moment, the players in front of the screen had different expressions on their faces when they saw this scene.

Expressions of surprise and shock alternated, and the suspense of the plot left them speechless for a long time.

They knew that the team would become increasingly dangerous after the arrival of the seventh person.

But I never expected him to die like this.

I was actually killed by myself just a few minutes ago?

At this moment, the players fell into deep thought, trying to connect the clues they hadn't had time to think about before.

But the screen that had gone black suddenly lit up again.

The familiar doctor appeared in the shot.

However, his current appearance is even more slovenly.

Even with a mask on, the player could tell he was exhausted.

[Four days have passed since the W-FBC-0087-III experiment. In these 96 hours, Special Task Force A-one, who was in charge of the investigation, has not returned.]

Suddenly, as the doctor began to speak, a male voice rang out off-camera.

[■Doctor, you forgot again, there are 6 people in the Special Task Force participating in the investigation, and A-one is the task force leader.]

At this moment, players could clearly see through the screen that the doctor, wearing a mask, was stunned.

Then he stood up and took a handheld device from off-screen.

It seemed to be some kind of media player, and he started watching it on the spot.

Then, the players saw the doctor's expression grow increasingly shocked and horrified.

He then sighed, handed the device in his hand to someone off-screen, sat back down in front of the camera, and shook his head.

[I apologize, I've edited my previous statement. The Zeta-9 Special Task Force 'Mole' involved in the investigation was not just Captain A-one, but consisted of six people.]

[And that's been so long! Damn it! I've repeated myself! Why can't I remember these five people? Damn it! Damn it! Anyway, the Special Task Force 'Mole,' responsible for the exploration and investigation, hasn't returned. There were six of them. Damn it! What kind of mental influence is this?! There were clearly six people! But I only remember one! If there hadn't been a recording, I wouldn't have any recollection of the other five at all!]

[Okay, calm down, I've had enough of this damn video report. In short, in this third expedition, the Special Task Force has only reached platform 44, at a vertical depth of approximately 132 meters.]

[Unlike the previous two D-Class Personnel, these individuals, possessing armed forces, seemed to encounter more dangerous and bizarre anomalies. The sacrifice of the Special Task Force... Sorry, I forgot about them again (deleted).]

The exact methods by which the Special Task Force members disappeared are still unknown, as is the manner of the captain's sacrifice. Currently, it is believed to be an internal defense mechanism of W-FBC-0087, or some kind of [unclear/undefined] capability that we have yet to understand.

[Without tools, it's difficult to know the underlying principles behind this kind of large-scale erasure.]

[Currently, the only known method to address the W-FBC-0087 the Staircase erasure is video recording. Only in this way can we know the true situation. Although we still have no memory of it, and will forget it again after 5 seconds without watching the recording.]

[It's worth noting that the video was transmitted in real time. We can clearly see the Special Task Force leader communicating with the command center from the Staircase. But as seen in the video, the two sides were unable to communicate.]

[Regarding that face, the existence of W-FBC-0087-01, judging from the video footage, appears to be different variations of the same person. However, without conclusive evidence, the hypothesis cannot be established, and the reason for W-FBC-0087-01's imaging is unclear.]

[After three exploratory experiments, we still hadn't achieved much. Furthermore, within 24 hours of the Special Task Force's investigation, the school repeatedly reported hearing a woman's crying and loud banging on the door coming from the multimedia classroom. Due to the bizarre nature of the situation, it caused panic among students on campus. The agents filled the multimedia classroom door with 6 centimeters of industrial foam and observed it for 12 hours until no further strange noises occurred.]

[After the director reviewed the experimental video, related exploratory experiments are now prohibited, and all personnel are forbidden from entering W-FBC-0087. W-FBC-0087 is to be kept under control in place. We will subsequently implement a ■volt voltage reset lock system and assign several agents to the school as staff to closely guard the entrance to W-FBC-0087 at all times.]

We still don't know how deep W-FBC-0087 is, or if it has an end. These things will likely only be deciphered as science and technology advance further.

In the video, the doctor visibly breathed a sigh of relief after saying those words.

Then he stood up and moved closer to the camera.

Then

The screen went black.

The progress bar has reached the bottom.

This live-streamed documentary has come to a complete end!

The video quickly went viral within a day of its release, due to its massive viewership.

Furthermore, because it contained keywords such as ' Control Bureau ', 'abnormal', and 'W-FBC-0087', the video immediately garnered 970,000 views, 840,000 likes, 40,000 coins, 510,000 favorites, and 80,000 shares!

The newly created Level 1 account 'FBC' gained over 9,000 followers in just 24 hours!

Such data is enough to demonstrate the players' strong curiosity about the Control Bureau!

In addition, it's not just these data.

As of now, there are still over 1000 people watching.

The total number of bullet comments reached 9104!

The total number of comments has reached 5740!

It truly became a hit in the gaming world as soon as it was released!

The video was widely shared in various chat groups and reposted on various forums.

Almost anyone who plays games and surfs the internet knows this promotional video!

In addition, there's its excellent quality, amazing story ideas, and terrifying presentation.

It made everyone who watched it exclaim with excitement, but also turn into a coward like a hamster!

Actually, this situation is quite normal.

In the decades since the horror and suspense genre was extremely underdeveloped and largely ignored.

People have never seen a truly terrifying movie.

They're all movies that use horror as a pretext to make romance.

It's still very watery!

This has made people tired of the horror genre.

I hope to see a real horror movie.

The game is already out, and it's very successful.

However, games, as a medium, can only reach the player base.

There are countless people all over the world who don't play games.

Although games are gradually popularizing the horror genre, there are still many people who are unaware of this.

Because they don't play games.

But film and television are different.

Compared to games, the audience that movies and TV shows reach is simply unimaginably large!

Because 'playing' and 'watching' are two different concepts.

Compared to the former, the latter is more convenient and faster!

It doesn't require a computer or any expensive equipment.

A mobile phone is all you need to do it!

Therefore, when W-FBC-0087 the Staircase was released on Danmu Network in the form of a video, coupled with the promotion and publicity from Infinite Network Entertainment, it was a hit.

so.

The concepts of the Control Bureau and anomaly

It's gone viral!

Almost half of people who don't play games learned about these terms by watching videos.

With effective promotion, the number of viewers has also increased.

With the spontaneous reposting by netizens, the reach of this short film has become increasingly wider.

Although people who don't play games might be confused at first glance, this doesn't detract from the short film's captivating story and its very effective use of horror.

Not to mention the various chilling details that made them turn green with fear!

At this point, these people who don't play games...

I learned what 'heart-wrenching horror' and 'pure terror' really mean.

But that's not enough; what truly made the film widely known was...

It's a video review on Weibo by someone called 'Poisonous Tongue Film Critic'.

As a veteran verified influencer, he boasts over 8 million followers.

Those who follow him know that he is notoriously sharp-tongued.

Once a movie is selected by him, it's either so bad that he criticizes it harshly, or so classic that he can analyze it in detail.

In short, every film review he wrote was either about a good movie worth watching or a terrible movie that was utterly worthless.

At this moment, under his latest Weibo.

A newly released film review video was posted below.

Above is a title that is enough to attract all netizens.

[Horror movies can be made like this? This promotional short film has completely revolutionized filmmaking techniques!]

This chapter and the next chapter touch on the film and television industry, but rest assured, it's just a brief mention to raise awareness; the main focus is still on games.
