The video clips from the Staircase began to circulate widely.

And in a very short time, it quickly rose to the top of the entire site.

Simply because the content is novel and terrifying enough.

Many people who don't play games became curious and went to watch the original film after hearing the explanations from scathing film critics.

On Danmu Network, there are even more people who accidentally clicked on the links due to intelligent push notifications.

Then

These people were so frightened by the oppressive atmosphere and terrifying presentation that they cried and commented under the video.

"Oh my god, why did I have to be so impulsive! Why did I have to be so impulsive?!"

"Ten minutes ago, it was a horror movie! Ten minutes later, goodbye horror movie."

Am I the only one who saw this while I was sleeping?

"Your mom was happily scrolling through her homepage when this video suddenly popped up. Are you trying to kill me?!"

"If I could sleep with an AK47, I wouldn't be posting this comment now."

"This short film really made me uncomfortable. I will never say I want to watch a horror movie again in my life."

"Help! Now every time I close my eyes, I see that white face. Help! I want to sleep! I have to go to work tomorrow!"

"I will never dare to say I want to watch horror movies again."

"Waibiwaibi, waibibabu?"

Numerous comments, some long and some short, all unanimously reported that they were frightened.

Especially those who spend late at night, lament that all they used to see while trying to sleep were pictures of delicious food, making their mouths water.

Now, they've added a scary element to it.

Forget about sleeping at night!

However, aside from these comments on the Danmu Network.

In other major online communities, people have also started discussing this fresh and engaging short film by creating threads, and the number of replies has been quite good.

After watching this short film, I wonder how many people recalled the fear of being dominated by the Staircase when they were children.

Working overtime until 9 PM, seeing the dark the Staircase made me feel like I was going to die.

[My younger brother showed me the video. After watching it, I hung him up and swung him around twice. Did I do it right, guys?]

I don't even dare to go downstairs for a late-night snack anymore!

You might not know this, but the Staircase in my building is seven or eight times similar to the one in the short video. Especially that rusty handrail, it's practically identical!

[I got ambushed! And of all times, I stumbled upon this video while the stairwell motion-sensor lights were out!]

[A while ago, someone was holding a memorial service in the Staircase, which really disgusted me. Now, after seeing this short video in the Staircase, I practically died on the spot!]

As more and more people discussed the video, many marketing accounts saw a business opportunity.

They shamelessly stole the short film, then created derivative works, added a common background music track, and submitted it as the original.

Many people who click on it are immediately struck by the nauseating AI voiceover and nonsensical dialogue.

Do you know how deep this the Staircase is? In a school in England, there's a very, very deep the Staircase.

[This man is called Lao Bai, and he has a PhD. Today, as usual, he's sitting in front of the camera, preparing to start his day's work.]

[Do you know? Here]

[This foreigner is something else, he...]

You might not believe it, the Staircase...

[Speaking of live streaming, everyone is certainly familiar with it. But do you know what live streaming is? While everyone is familiar with live streaming, what exactly is it? Today, let me explain. Live streaming is simply live streaming; that's the truth, and I was quite surprised myself. Welcome to discuss this with me and feel free to share your thoughts.]

The popularity of the short film about the Staircase is spreading like wildfire.

Some netizens felt it was a real shame that the video was only shown in the country.

So they spontaneously uploaded the video to YouTube overseas.

Some players who frequently post walkthrough videos of games like "Dark Forest," "The Visage," and "Skyhill" already have a certain amount of fan traffic.

Therefore, when the W-FBC-0087 the Staircase video was released, more and more people saw it.

Then these foreigners, who hadn't seen much of horror or ghosts and terrifying techniques,

"Oh my god! I regret clicking on it! It's the most disturbing video I've ever seen! It's made me feel dazed all morning!"

"My God! I'm a devout believer! After seeing this video, I immediately poured the holy water that the church was giving me for free all over myself!"

"Well done! I feel the thrill! I love this jump scare! It adds a touch of excitement to my mundane life! Please give me more!"

"This was actually made by Huaxia?! Holy crap! If you didn't tell me, I would have thought it was made by British people! It's amazing! They've actually come up with so many creative ideas in the horror genre! I have to admit, I was completely terrified!"

"This video is truly chilling. The filming technique is completely new to me. It looks like a live broadcast, but it's more like a videotape. For a moment, I thought it was a real, live documentary."

"I really admire this film; it's the scariest video I've seen this year! The techniques used are textbook-worthy. As a film student, I absolutely have to figure out how it's shot!"

"It's unbelievable! I almost doubted that this was real. It's so realistic! It gave me an illusion!"

"A short film made me scream three times! The ordeal of that group of soldiers is unforgettable, it was so shocking! How could a the Staircase have so many terrifying ideas! I felt a deep sense of dread!"

"Ball-ball-Bodhi-sa-bao-use-me".

The novelty of the mockumentary filming technique, which is different from traditional film techniques, combined with a well-written script and wonderful performances, has given people overseas an extremely shocking and incredible feeling.

And the psychological fear that constantly fills the mind.

People abroad still associate horror movies with werewolves in the moonlight and vampires in castles. The former tears everything apart, while the latter is bloody and ghostly.

They never imagined that people from Huaxia could film such a terrifying and frightening scene in the Staircase that is ubiquitous in daily life!

And its stamina is so strong it's almost suffocating!

The first-person perspective kept foreign viewers in a state of constant anxiety and danger.

This is a completely new experience unlike anything I've ever had before!

Therefore, the short video of the Staircase also went viral on YouTube.

Many people left comments below, expressing their fear and embarrassment in a mix of languages.

In Japan, there was even a casual VTuber who was so frightened while watching a live stream that he let out an extremely loud scream, then accidentally bumped into something, causing his connection to drop instantly and he lost internet access.

Although things recovered quickly afterward, it became a funny and embarrassing story that viewers and fans talked about, and it was edited into clips and posted on YouTube for more people to enjoy.

This casual VTuber actually gained a lot of fans because of this!

Seeing this, many people began to follow suit.

Many people livestreamed themselves watching videos of the Staircase, then were so frightened they wet themselves, screamed, and showed expressions of terror.

Although there was some element of intent involved.

But it must be said that this kind of behavior appeals to both Chinese and overseas people!

Therefore, the video of "the anchor being scared while watching the horror scenes of ' The Staircase '" appeared.

It also received a high number of clicks and comments.

This is truly the secret to traffic generation!

Meanwhile, Meng Shu, who was in her office in Huaxia, was completely unaware of this.

He lay back in his chair, listening to a phone call from a capital firm in the entertainment industry, and spoke calmly.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm really sorry. I have no intention of selling the copyright to this short film at the moment. As for the movie adaptation you mentioned, well, there's absolutely no need for that."

This chapter is late. I finished writing it around midnight, but I was so tired I fell asleep and only just woke up from the cold to realize I hadn't posted it. I've been checking and revising the text these past two nights, which has slowed down the update schedule. Also, Chapter 94 has been significantly revised; all the settings after Chapter 94 are gradually being unified. So I hope everyone will reread the revised Chapter 94.
