Too Defiant of the Heavens
Mo Guangyuan sent a WeChat message to his family, saying that he had to work overtime and would be home late. Then he continued reading "The Mouth of the Madman".
Mo Guangyuan was very curious about what was upstairs from the novelist's apartment.
The atmosphere grew increasingly heavy, and Mo Guangyuan's heart pounded with each creak from the ceiling.
"We can't go upstairs here."
Mo Guangyuan thought to himself that, under these circumstances, the person upstairs was definitely not a good person.
Following the typical formula of horror movies, going upstairs at this time would most likely result in a terrible ordeal.
At that moment, the girl Xiya suddenly raised her hand.
Thump thump thump—
A certain force erupted, and the ceiling trembled as if it had been struck by something, followed by an explosion. When the dust settled, there was no more movement on it.
"???"
Mo Guangyuan was somewhat bewildered.
Normally, shouldn't this be a thrilling and exciting exploration before finally defeating the enemy and reaping the rewards?
How did that solve it?
Isn't this girl a bit too amazing?
He saw that Lu Ban had given his opinion on this, and the three of them started telling jokes again.
"It just feels a bit frivolous."
Although Mo Guangyuan found the crosstalk performance by these people quite interesting, he wondered if it was a bit strange to perform crosstalk in a horror movie.
The atmosphere created earlier gave Mo Guangyuan goosebumps, but the interactions between these people always made it feel like a comedy.
The contrast between the two made Mo Guangyuan feel quite excited.
If the scenes are constantly terrifying and you're always on edge, it can easily lead to fatigue.
The back-and-forth action, using a lighthearted plot to alleviate fear, is quite good.
The three of them went up to the second floor and saw the corpse of a monster.
When Mo Guangyuan saw the monster with an octopus-like head and the appearance of a large dog, he felt a chill run down his spine.
This monster instinctively disgusted him, especially its bizarre color distribution, like seeing bright red and bright green together, it was an eyesore.
In the room, he also saw a painting depicting the monsters in a group, with a gap in the foreground, making it seem as if the monsters had jumped out of the painting.
Suddenly, the monster's belly swelled up.
The three quickly left the room, and the moment they closed the door, the monster's corpse exploded, scattering tiny, tentacled worms everywhere—a truly nauseating sight.
"Alas."
Mo Guangyuan rubbed his hands. The scene, with its dense swarms of tiny worms and gore, was too much for even someone with mild trypophobia like him.
In a stained room, the protagonist finds a novel called "The Dog in the Painting".
As the novel is opened, the screen changes, revealing excerpts from the story.
From that painting, the monster walked out step by step. Its head was made entirely of tentacles, and its body was slippery, like a big dog. The writhing tentacles and the eerie colors on its body completely aroused Mo Guangyuan's primal fear, making him feel a pang of fear and wanting to get away from the screen and away from this scene.
The owner of the painting was also devoured by this monster, a truly gruesome sight.
Mo Guangyuan paused for a moment.
He needs to slow down.
Recently, the bureau has reviewed a lot of horror movies, and Mo Guangyuan has watched quite a few of them. However, most of them are poorly made online movies. The only scary thing about them is that the props are fake and they are just trying to be mysterious. They don't have any real sense of horror. It's not as scary as having your wife find out about your secret stash of money.
But now, just a few scenes from this movie sent chills down Mo Guangyuan's spine.
He looked around the office; it was completely silent.
Suddenly, Mo Guangyuan's gaze fell on a painting.
That's a traditional Chinese ink painting that the leader hangs in his office. It's a replica of a famous painting, and it features some figures and animals.
Mo Guangyuan looked at the painting because he felt that the things in it seemed to be moving.
He took off his headphones, stood up, and moved closer to the painting.
He saw people drinking tea under the tree, a dog beside them, women traveling together, and children in the distance; nothing seemed to have changed.
"Whee."
Just then, Mo Guangyuan suddenly heard the sound of children playing nearby.
He looked back, hoping to see if anyone had brought their child to the workplace, but when he arrived at the empty corridor, he found nothing.
When he returned, Mo Guangyuan took another look at the painting.
People drinking tea under the tree, a dog nearby, and women traveling together.
The child is missing!
"Whee."
This time, the sound of children's laughter could be clearly heard from behind Mo Guangyuan.
A chill ran down Mo Guangyuan's spine, and he immediately turned around.
The office was empty; there was nothing there.
But then he suddenly noticed that on the corner of an office desk, a foot had been retracted.
That was a child's foot.
"No way."
Thinking about the plot of the movie, where the monster in the picture walks out, could the child in the picture also come out?
Impossible!
There are no such supernatural events in this world!!
Mo Guangyuan cautiously approached the table.
He glanced up and saw a small child sitting behind the table.
"!!!"
Mo Guangyuan's heart suddenly raced, his blood rushed to his head, and he hurriedly took half a step back.
The child looked up from his phone, glanced at Mo Guangyuan, and said nothing.
"Xiao Bao? Xiao Bao?"
A voice called out from the corridor. Mo Guangyuan peeked out and saw a woman looking for her child.
He called out to the other person and pointed to the office.
Is this your son?
He pointed at the child and asked.
"Yes, this kid likes to hide and play on his phone. Thank you, Xiao Mo."
The woman pulled the silent child, who was staring intently at his phone screen, away.
Mo Guangyuan then closed the office door, returned to his seat, and just as he picked up his headphones, he suddenly realized something.
"That woman from earlier, I don't think I've ever seen her before?"
He's been here for so many years and is familiar with people from other departments. He sees them every day, and his family knows them too. But that woman just now, he seemed to have never seen her before, yet she seemed to know him quite well.
Completely baffled, Mo Guangyuan examined the painting again more closely.
Then he saw that the child who had disappeared from the painting had reappeared in the painting, and next to him, a woman was holding his hand and walking forward.
"."
Mo Guangyuan decided not to think about it too much.
Because he couldn't take the master tape home to prevent leaks, he could only watch it at work. He hesitated for a while, but finally put on his headphones and continued watching.
Mo Guangyuan then saw that the actions of the protagonists were recorded in the manuscript, and their deeds became part of the novel.
At this moment, Mo Guangyuan subconsciously raised his head to look at the painting.
He found a human face there.
