Chapter 30: The Tape

Inside the silent room. The door, however, was suddenly pushed open. Then, Akatsuhiko's head was exposed and looked inside. "Okay …… now arrange for someone to guard the door, we'll go in and check it out." "Then …… who will guard the door?" At this time, Situ Wenxuan immediately made a furtive proposal, "Then I'll do it. You guys go in and search." "Good, then it's you." Ming Chenyan sized up Fang Wenxuan, and along the way, he had a few good feelings about him. This man was very insightful, but he didn't think for a second that Situ Wenxuan could survive this Blood Character. The Blood Character mission was comparable to natural selection among animals, cruel to the extreme, and to survive, one could not have any obvious shortcomings. Right now, they could not leave this house for the time being. Although everyone knew that this house was the most dangerous and terrifying place, it was also the place where clues could be found most easily. So, even though they knew that they could face death at any time if they stayed here, they still had no choice. At this time, one hour had passed for the bloodletter quest. There was still one hour left. Currently, Black Shadow was limited by the apartment and had only killed one Bai. But as time passed, the deaths would continue to expand. And in the end, there was no doubt that the Deep Sea would no longer be able to dictate Black Shadow's actions. Dong Ning followed behind Akatsuhiko as she walked into the room in front of her, a room in which she still hadn't found what she wanted to discover the most, namely the photographs. However, she suddenly realized that on the desk in the room, there was something that was out of place in today's era. A tape recorder! For this society where smartphones were already fully popularized, a tape recorder could already be considered an antique. This immediately caught Dong Ning's attention, and she quickly walked over to the tape recorder. It was a portable tape recorder with its own battery, and inside was a tape. It was surprising to see such an old antique as a tape at this age, and Dong Ning felt more and more that the Deep Sea really was something different. She turned back to Ming Chenyan, while the latter walked over and said, "Later, you play the tape, and I'll open the WeChat voice chat, so that Mr. Qin, Mo Yuan can listen to it together as well." "Uh-huh." Dong Ning knew that this was the only way for now. She then rewound the tape to the top and then, turned the recorder on. The tape began to play. "Well, I'm preparing to conceptualize my new book starting today." It sounded like a young man's voice. The voice was magnetic and very recognizable. He was …… Deep Sea? Also known as Yuan Ming? At this time, Mo Yuan and Qin Ziyuan heard this voice through voice chat just the same. "Well, actually, for the new book, I'm planning to write a book based on a real life character, which is this Blue Moon Village itself. The mansion I'm currently living in used to belong to a family that suffered a bloody extermination many years ago. It sounds horrible, but instead, I thought it would be the perfect place to conceptualize a horror novel. That's why I bought this mansion." "Frankly speaking, that case happened in the nineties, and it's still unsolved even now, and the murderer's killing methods are extremely cold-blooded and cruel. Well …… something that horrible really inspired me to sprout up! I even chose to write on my laptop in the room where the man died back then, and as a result I get the illusion every now and then that there seems to be a pair of eyes looking at me from behind at all times!" "After writing so many horror novels and using all kinds of ghost images, it gradually felt boring. So, let's just portray a special evil spirit. For the initial name, let's just call it Black Ghost Shadow." "When I used to watch Silence of the Lambs, I wondered why Hannibal the Ogre's mask covered all his face completely. Now I understand! Evil spirits who resemble the human sense of reverence for ancestor worship, mystery becomes the first element. Therefore, it is more frightening than an evil spirit without a face." "I appreciate the Valley of Terror theory that is generally used as an analogy to AI AI. What is the Valley of Terror theory? The closer an inhuman object gets to a human, the more likely it is to cause psychological discomfort. Horror novels also often use this theory to create a scary atmosphere. But in fact, the most crucial thing is not humanoid, but non-human. Going off on the point of humanoid, the evil spirit will be automatically substituted by the reader as some kind of rational thing, which will instead reduce the sense of fear." "Non-human, but humanoid. So simply, not only five senses, not even skin or clothes, just a black, twisted ghostly figure. And, to create a sense of mystery, the number of appearances must be controlled. Ghosts and gods are the same, the more frequently they appear, the easier it is to be understood and recognized, and the sense of mystery is weakened." "The last thing is …… illogical malice. I, like the two authors, Black Ghost Fire, and Kitayama Jinglong, hold the Cthulhu mythology in the highest regard, but after Lovecraft's death, the old dominions, the ancient gods, and the like have been divided into good and evil and camps, and have turned into viciously cheesy tales of good versus evil that are an affront to the Cthulhu mythos." "What I'm going to portray in this book is …… yes, unexplained horror! The more unfathomable and mysterious it is, the more horrific the atmosphere will be as well." "And then ……" It took a while before the tape resumed, "Well, the title of the book will be decided as Black Ghosts!" The tape next began to be an idea for the outline of each volume, and nothing unusual could be heard. Hearing this, the expressions of the occupants all became rather subtle. What the hell is …… going on here? According to the Deep Sea Wife's words, there was no such thing as hearing about any extermination bloodshed at all ah! Akatsuhiko pressed the pause button first and said, ''Something's not right! One of Deep Sea Wife and this tape must be a fake!" Qin Ziyuan's voice came from the cell phone voice, "No, not necessarily. Buying a murderous house to live in, it's possible that they didn't tell the truth because they might have felt it looked weird to tell others." "So ……," Dong Ning roughly summarized, "In short, Deepak bought the murderous mansion to live in, rewrote the story of the murderous mansion as a horror novel, and then used his own name as the hero's name? " It seems …… that this is a more reasonable explanation at the moment. "Keep listening!" Akatsuhiko re-pressed the play button. There must be some special mystery here! Dong Ning confirmed that Black Ghosts and Shadows hadn't been updated yet, and the Devil's Apartment update that his brother had set to be timed was released instead. Because it was a timed update, there was no way to determine whether or not brother had come to Blue Moon Village. Brother finished saving the manuscript a week in advance each time and then released it on a timed basis to avoid the need to execute the Bloodletter instructions during the process. Moreover, the latest chapter he had included the black ghostly shadow's blood words, just to hope that there were capable people in the readers who would analyze the path of birth inside the comment section. Listening to the plot outline described by Fukai inside the tape, one could no longer hear anything wrong. It seemed like the purpose of recording the outline on tape was simply to make it easy to forget later so that you could take it out and listen to it. "Next is the 10th volume outline, what about this one ……" Just as Fukami continued to describe the outline, a scream suddenly came from the tape, "No, no, don't kill us!" The shrill scream came out abruptly, making people feel creepy. "Ah! Hubby! Please, please don't kill our children!" "Wang Sizhen! You bitch, cuckolding me, I'm going to kill you and the sins you gave birth to all together! Kill!" "What about the outline for this volume, I'm going to take Wang Sen as the POV viewpoint while having flashbacks ……" "Ah! Hubby! Hubby! Don't!" "Dad! Daddy! Ahhhhhh!" "What about the flashback technique to heighten the suspense ……" "Please, hubby, at least let Mingle go! Let him go! He's still so young!" "I can't keep a single one of the sinful children you've given birth to! I, Yuan Hua, am not even capable of impregnating a woman! Your children are all bastards! I can't keep any of them." The content of this paragraph gave them the creeps! Yuan Hua! It's Yuan Ming's father! Wang Sizhen! It was Yuan Ming's mother! "So what, I've decided to go through three days of flashbacks in this volume ……" "You go to hell …… bitch! Ah, you dare to fight me?" "Ming'er! Quickly escape! Escape!" "And then what, the word count of the flashbacks in this volume should be kept at ……" Deepsea, it seemed, had recorded the truth of the Yuan Family's bloodshed extermination case back then! However, when he was recording, he seemed to not be able to hear the sounds around him at all!
