Strange game designer

Chapter 21 There is something strange in the office

Back in the studio, Gao Ming memorized most of the information about the haunted house in Hanhai, and he was working in different directions with everyone.

The clock on the wall was ticking. When he was immersed in the haunted house, the light in the office suddenly flickered, and a thin shadow quietly emerged.

"This is……"

Gao Ming's breathing became a little difficult. He saw shadows coming from all directions, as if they were pouring into the utility room.

"It's broken. What kind of game does this trigger?"

This time Gao Ming did not summon the spirit, nor did he repeat the behavior of the deceased. He seemed to be passively dragged into the game.

The lights flashed faster and without warning, all of them suddenly went out!

A familiar cold feeling wrapped around his heart. Gao Ming took a deep breath. He was about to remind the employees in the studio to pay attention to safety when he suddenly saw Wei Dayou jumping on the table with his bag on his back.

"Don't panic, everyone!" Wei Dayou opened his backpack: "I have an emergency light!"

Pressing the switch, light appeared in Wei Dayou's hands.

"Brothers and sisters, to be honest, I thought I couldn't continue playing games, so I went to work in the night market. I bought this lamp for setting up a stall." Wei Dayou placed the lamp on top of a pile of books: "Let's work Room has been at the bottom of Motu Technology for seven months, and no one is optimistic about horror games. I worked part-time as a planner, and was scolded by leaders and players for half a year. To be honest, I was holding my breath."

Wei Dayou raised his voice: "I know it was difficult for us before, but now we have a chance! After combining this love game with a horror game, the number of downloads of the beta version is more than the official version of our last game. Our Night Light Studio We can make a comeback in no time!”

Several employees who were still working overtime were deeply touched by Wei Dayou's words. Programmer Li Jie and operation Zhang Wang even stood up. They are old employees of Night Light and have great affection for this place.

"I know everyone is tired, but these days are difficult. We must take advantage of the popularity of the game to get the finished product out as soon as possible! Give an explanation to the players, an explanation to the customers, and an explanation to ourselves!" Wei Dayou said very passionately: "I'll go to the power distribution room to take a look, everyone can continue the work at hand!"

Seeing that Wei Dayou didn't take his cell phone and walked out with bare hands, Gao Ming quickly stopped him: "Dayou, listen to me."

"I know what you want to say." Wei Dayou held Gao Ming's hand very hard: "Brother, we will not let you down this time, and we will definitely present the game you designed perfectly!"

"no……"

"If you're too polite, you'll be offended!" Dayou let go of his hand, but Gao Ming's cell phone vibrated at this moment. Not only him, but everyone else in Ye Leng's office also looked at the cell phone.

Sliding the screen, everyone seems to have received a new message.

"One of you has a ghost in you."

"You can only leave by killing the possessed man."

"Note that your activity range is only on the 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th floors. The ghosts will wake up in an hour and start killing people. Those killed by the ghosts will also become ghosts."

The message was very short, only three sentences. The staff at Nightlight Studio didn't take it to heart. They were making horror games. Every time the game was released, the messages from players were ten times scarier than this.

"Why did this game become a reality?" Gao Ming recognized it immediately. A few years ago, a client felt that work was too boring and wanted some excitement, so they made this office escape game for him.

This game must be solved within an hour. The longer you go, the more ghosts you will get. And if you want to pass the level, you must accurately kill the person who is possessed by the ghost. In other words, you must kill one person.

Gao Ming ran out to chase Wei Dayou, but the elevator door closed at this time.

"Dayou!" Gao Ming pressed the elevator button and suddenly felt breathing behind him.

"This prank is quite boring. You don't really believe it, do you?" Xia Yang's voice suddenly appeared next to Gao Ming, startling him.

"Why don't you make any sound when you walk?" Gao Ming used the light in the room to observe Xia Yang carefully.

"Do you think I'm a ghost?" Xia Yang laughed.

"Teacher Xia, what would you do if this game became real?" Gao Ming asked in a tentative tone.

"Just commit suicide. I don't dare to kill and I'm afraid of pain."

"But committing suicide means you kill yourself, and your hands will be stained with blood." Before Gao Ming could finish his words, another elevator in the building suddenly stopped on the 13th floor where the night light was.

The silver-gray elevator door slowly opened. The delivery boy Su Mo and the one-man game Manager Ma ran out of the elevator in panic. Their expressions were extremely frightened and they tried their best to stay away from each other.

In addition to the two people in the elevator, there was a male corpse with a torn eye corner and a computer bag tightly clutched in both hands.

"He is a ghost! The ghost killed someone!" Su Mo shouted loudly, as if he was crazy.

"He is the ghost! The ghost is in his body!" Manager Ma kept a distance from Su Mo and shouted at Gao Ming and the others.

"It turns out that men can also make such harsh sounds." Xia Yang covered his ears, squinted at the two people in front of him, and muttered in a low voice: "They are dead. It seems that what the text message said is true."

Xia Yang didn't know if it was because he was being arrogant or for other reasons. He seemed to have experienced similar games before. Not only was he not afraid, he also had a smile on his face.

Walking between Su Mo and Manager Ma, Gao Ming came to the body.

Untying the collar of the corpse, he saw obvious body spots: "The deceased's death time should have been 24 hours ago. The murderer is most likely not the two people in the elevator."

"It's not them, then why are they staying in the elevator with the corpse?" Xia Yang glanced at the messages on his phone: "Is it possible that the ghost is hiding in them?"

Gao Ming nodded: "The ghost may have been trapped in the corpse at first. They touched the body, which is highly suspicious. Of course, other situations cannot be ruled out. Maybe the ghost deliberately asked us to focus on them and let the two of them touch the body. They are the scapegoats."

"This ghost is quite cunning."

"The game designer understands human psychology very well. It isolates these two people, causing a conflict between the safety of the group and individual lives. When everyone is forced to have no choice, someone will definitely take action against them, and maybe everyone will still Let them kill each other." Gao Ming's original design was not that complicated. Later in the game, Wei Dayou perfected it according to the customer's requirements: "Human nature is very fragile. Once you take the first step, the bottom line will be constantly broken down. , until humanity is completely lost.”

"Some unscrupulous companies also exploit their employees in this way." Xia Yang was very optimistic: "In any case, the ghost is definitely not in our studio. Everyone is working overtime and no one goes to other floors."

"We are safe for the time being, but according to the information, the ghost will wake up in an hour and start killing people. No one may be able to believe it by then."

"Yes, so the possessed person must be found within an hour."

Su Mo and Manager Ma were still quarreling. They called each other a ghost and their emotions were on the verge of losing control.

"You two, don't argue for now. Speak slowly." Xia Yang showed a completely different calmness than usual.

"I went downstairs after delivering the takeout, and I met the corpse in the elevator! The ghost was on the corpse at first, and he told me many things. Every time he said a word, the elevator would be covered by a layer of shadow!" Sumo wiped Removed the tears from his eyes: "Then we met Manager Ma on the elevator. The corpse had a grudge against Manager Ma. It had been waiting for Manager Ma! When Manager Ma came up, it strangled him to death, and then got into Manager Ma's body. In the body!”

"Nonsense! He is lying! He is the ghost!" Manager Ma took off his collar: "Look! There are no strangulation marks on my neck at all. I was on the phone in the underground parking lot when I suddenly heard something strange in the elevator. There was a sound, so I went over to check. Who knew that as soon as the elevator door opened, I was dragged in by him. This delivery boy said that someone wanted to kill him! But besides him, there was only one body in the elevator!"
