Starting with a haunted house to create a thrilling game arena

Chapter 78: The Truth About the Lost Media

Donghai Road Film and Television Base.

Rooftop.

"This monster looks a bit like Daddy Head. Honestly, I think the ghost story research company must have hired a master to make the cartoon character so terrifying."

Zhang Ze spoke to himself.

He knew that Qiu Mei could hear and see, and that she would recognize that this was the work of the Ghost Story Research Company.

"This is Yue Pan's specialty."

"Do you know what environmental horror is? It's the overall horror created through various details. It doesn't focus on any one thing, but rather the sense of dread built up from all the little things."

"Akimi said."

"I think I understand."

Zhang Ze had a crow tear the unknown evil creature to shreds.

Like tearing apart a styrofoam box, the crow's claws easily destroyed the body of the unknown evil, yet the image of the unknown evil lingered in Zhang Ze's mind.

Before this, most of the vengeful ghosts Zhang Ze encountered were physical attacks.

The unknown evil entity must be an attack at some level of consciousness.

"Crunch."

Zhang Ze suddenly heard the sound of the door opening.

however……

This is the rooftop; there is no door.

Immediately afterwards, there was a rustling sound.

It was as if someone was whispering in Zhang Ze's ear, making a deep, calling sound.

Zhang Ze was certain that he was not experiencing auditory hallucinations, because his body was no longer that of a living person and did not possess the physical conditions necessary to produce them. The fact that he could still experience auditory hallucinations under these circumstances was definitely due to the influence of the supernatural.

"I think I understand."

"This unknown evil thing should be a collection of people's various fears. For example, when people see mysterious disappearances on TV, murder cases where the killer has not yet been caught, or all kinds of supernatural events, they will instinctively feel fear."

"The source of this fear may have initially been the disappearance of a woman in an underground parking lot, or a mountain rescue team seeing a victim waving at them from the mountaintop. All these abstract fears have coalesced into this concrete image."

Zhang Ze said.

After a few seconds, Qiu Mei replied, "Your summary is spot on. Yue Pan wrote similar notes when he was in school, and even tried to write scripts specifically to create this kind of ghost story."

"Now he's putting it into practice."

The image of an unknown evil entity gradually appeared in Zhang Ze's mind.

The human brain is a truly amazing organ.

The hippocampus is responsible for memory, the prefrontal cortex secretes hormones that affect mood, and the cerebellum connects to the central nervous system, controlling a person's daily actions and generating consciousness.

It can be said that what distinguishes humans from animals is the existence of the brain, which provides the basic conditions for creating and changing the world.

However, it was as if a foreign object had been squeezed into Zhang Ze's brain. Even without actively recalling the image of the unknown evil, this twisted monster still flashed back uncontrollably in Zhang Ze's mind.

Just like a mental patient having an episode who can't help but recall painful scenes.

An unknown evil entity is attempting to invade Zhang Ze's consciousness.

Zhang Ze sighed.

Actively construct a scenario in your mind.

The corridor was spotless, the ceiling was white, and the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant. The walls were decorated with various relaxing patterns, and the nurses' station even had undistributed medicines stored there.

Third ward.

Strictly speaking, it's the second ward.

The third ward is mainly a closed ward, responsible for managing high-risk patients, while the second ward is an open ward with a higher degree of freedom.

An unknown evil creature suddenly appeared in this scene.

I looked around, a little confused.

It seems incomprehensible why Zhang Ze would build such a venue.

Until a child slowly appeared behind him.

"Big brother, Zhang Ze, Boss Zhang, Brother Zhang."

I know you can hear me.

"You're being too rude. Do you think I'm a donkey from the production team?"

It was the small door.

The unknown evil creature was stunned.

Why is there a ghost in Zhang Ze's consciousness as well?

There was no time for the unknown evil to think. Xiao Men controlled everything in the second ward. The fact that the unknown evil was here meant that it had nowhere to escape.

"You said you'd leave the tricky stuff to me," Zhang Ze said. "After I get revenge for you, I'll buy you the latest iPhone and we'll play King of Glory together."

"Okay, it's a deal."

"Please also buy some paper money and clothes for my mom, thank you."

Xiao Men finished speaking.

The image of the unknown evil creature in Zhang Ze's mind completely disappeared.

The battle is over.

The door to the rooftop was slightly ajar.

Instead of entering the dark stairwell, Zhang Ze transformed into a crow and invaded the remaining floors through the windows. The crow screeched and crashed through the glass, revealing numerous scenes from the film and television base.

"The interview room?"

"Police station?"

"There's even an internet cafe, damn, a super-fast internet cafe? It really is this place. I was live streaming for less than an hour, and Yue Pan recreated the scene exactly."

Zhang Ze witnessed many scenes within the media outlet.

As expected, all of this was staged by Yue Pan.

At first, he thought that Yue Pan was there to fight against the Strange Tales Research Company, so he made videos imitating the lost media to replace it and save the residents of Hanjiang City.

Now let's look at it.

Yue Pan himself is an accomplice to the loss of media coverage.

They all got the order wrong.

It was Yue Pan who first filmed the video, making the audience believe it to be true, thus turning it into a truly lost media and creating a real ghost story.

"Yue Pan really did it."

"It's simply unbelievable."

Through the crow's eyes, Akemi also saw all of this.

I couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Your memories show that Yue Pan and Chang Wenyu had the same goal: to destroy the Ghost School. I also roughly understand how Yue Pan destroyed the Ghost School."

"He introduced ghost stories into schools. Imagine a school experiencing a principal's disappearance, a teacher falling into a well and dying, the entire class drowning in a reservoir, or a female student hanging herself while playing a Ouija board game..."

"Even if Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei came, they wouldn't be able to control it."

The Haunted School is not a single school, but a place where the resentment of many schools converges in the world behind the door.

Chang Wenyu wanted to fight head-on in the world behind the door, but she definitely wouldn't win.

Yue Pan then shut down these schools in reality by creating ghost stories.

Muyang Middle School, Xicheng Private School...

All of these schools have been shut down.

Without new students, there will be no more endless resentment and curses, thus preventing the further expansion of the haunted school.

As for how many people these ghost stories would kill, Yue Pan probably never even considered that.

It's a classic case of killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of your own.

"The tenth floor, the ninth floor, the eighth floor, there is no living person at all."

"We couldn't find Yue Pan, nor could we find Chen Ge."

"If I still can't find it, I'll use my Ghost Eye to seal off the entire film studio," Zhang Ze said. "Then I'll trouble you to lend me a hand and turn this building into your 'dead people's screening room.'"
