Mo Guangyuan's eyelids twitched, his heart skipped a beat, and he retracted his little hand.

He paused the video and looked carefully at the corner of the table. There seemed to be something in the shadow.

Mo Guangyuan bravely moved closer and saw that it was a rag. He didn't know who had thrown it there and when.

He stood up, threw the rag back into the pantry, and sat back down.

After saying hello to his colleagues and putting on his headphones, Mo Guangyuan felt something was wrong.

He turned around and looked at the colleague who had just greeted him.

It seemed as if something was spying on me in the shadow of that colleague.

Mo Guangyuan panicked and looked carefully.

It turned out to be just a print on the clothes.

"What kind of aesthetics are there now? How can you print eyes on clothes..."

Mo Guangyuan muttered softly.

He continued watching the movie.

Gunshots rang out, breaking the silence of the night. The camera moved up and a decadent city appeared in the picture.

Then the city became alienated and flat, just like a painting.

No, it really became a painting, an illustration on the page of a book.

The words written on the pages looked like the content of a horror novel. The book was closed by a hand, and the title "Shadow of Horror" and the author Gu Du's name could be seen on it.

The camera moves upwards to see a middle-aged man with a serious expression as he puts the book back on the bookshelf. The camera tracks the movement of his hands and pulls back to show the bookshelves of the entire bookstore.

There were all kinds of horror novels on it with scary covers. The authors were all Gu Du without exception. At the same time, there were also trailers for Gu Du's new works, which seemed quite popular.

The camera continued to move backwards. This is a common way to show a panoramic view, but Mo Guangyuan felt something weird.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that there was a big problem with this lens.

When a normal lens is zoomed out, just like the human eye, everything moves backwards synchronously, following the rule that things get bigger when they are near and smaller when they are far, and they all get smaller together.

But in this shot, the bookshelf in the middle did not change at all, but the surrounding scenery did change, as if the space suddenly twisted, giving people an unstable, distorted and weird feeling.

This zoom method is very novel and immediately attracted Mo Guangyuan's attention.

Back then, he was also a graduate majoring in film and television. It wasn’t that he couldn’t find a job, so he had to take the exam. It took him two years to get in.

The use of this lens attracted Mo Guangyuan. He thought this lens was very interesting and couldn't help but sit up straighter.

As the plot progressed, he realized that the plot at the beginning was actually the content of a novel, and the author named Gu Du was a best-selling novelist in Feidu.

This city is like the metropolis in superhero movies, prosperous and glorious, but also poor and destitute. The protagonist is a detective who lives above a restaurant and has a fat orange cat at home, who looks quite down and out.

He checked his mailbox and saw some letters and some power of attorney, but he didn't pay any attention to them. Instead, he went out to meet his friends in a teahouse.

The protagonist's two friends are also very distinctive. One is a handsome but somewhat neurotic young man, and the other is a petite girl wearing clothes that look like medieval knight armor. According to the introduction, both of them have some special powers.

They were discussing matters concerning the ancient capital, and from their conversation, Mo Guangyuan could roughly tell that they seemed to have experienced adventures before and were partners in investigations.

But what the adventure was specifically was not mentioned, and it didn’t feel important.

Just as they were chatting, the man who had been reading the novel with a serious expression suddenly appeared outside the glass wall. He had a gun in his hand and started shooting at everyone in the teahouse.

Unexpectedly, the three protagonists displayed extraordinary strength and actually stopped the man's attack, knocked him out, and used physical means to torture him out of some clues.

When he saw the short but armored beautiful girl throwing a punch and the tall man's face suddenly turned blue and purple, Mo Guangyuan felt the same pain.

“It turns out this is a fantasy film with super powers.”

Mo Guangyuan muttered to himself.

The subsequent developments were very straightforward. The three decided to investigate the incident in the ancient capital because they themselves were threatened. They came to the publishing house and got more information.

Up to this point, the plot was still in the exploratory stage, but when the editor took out the manuscript of the beginning of the novel, several people became uneasy.

Because the content of this manuscript is exactly what they are experiencing now.

As the manuscript was being read, that weird zooming technique appeared again, making Mo Guangyuan feel depressed.

Moreover, the name of this novel is "In the Mouth of a Madman", and it seems that the plot of this movie is derived from this novel.

For a moment, Mo Guangyuan was a little confused.

He didn't know whether the detectives in the movie were real or just part of the story, like the man who killed his companion at the beginning.

Maybe now these people will soon turn the page like they did at the beginning, telling everyone that they are part of the story.

Mo Guangyuan couldn't help but put himself in the other's shoes and thought that if he suddenly got a novel at this moment, which contained all the things he had done before and was about to do, he would also find it a little scary.

The movie came to the novelist's house again. This dark and strange environment made Mo Guangyuan suppress his emotions again.

Just as the camera was slowly exploring with the protagonists, Mo Guangyuan's shoulder was suddenly tapped.

"Fuck!"

He cursed subconsciously, took off his headphones and turned around, only to find that it was his leader.

"Xiao Mo, remember to turn off the lights and close the door when you leave."

The leader pointed to the switch at the door.

"oh……"

Mo Guangyuan responded subconsciously, his mind still in a daze.

"You don't have to work too hard, just finish it on time and don't put too much pressure on yourself."

The leader patted Mo Guangyuan on the shoulder again before leaving the office.

Mo Guangyuan took a look and realized that it was almost five twenty and twenty minutes had passed since the end of get off work. Even the leaders who usually left last had packed up and went home.

The leader's intention was not that he really cared about Mo Guangyuan, but that if Mo Guangyuan worked overtime every day, it would make other colleagues leave on time, which would be very unprofessional. This behavior should be collectively boycotted.

Turning his head back, Mo Guangyuan was a little hesitant.

Now that I'm home, the movie is left halfway through.

He was curious and itchy about how things would develop next.

"No, let's come back tomorrow. I won't work overtime today. Then I'll be scolded by my wife."

Mo Guangyuan said this, but his hand still honestly pressed the play button.

"Just five more minutes."

Mo Guangyuan muttered and continued to look back.

He saw the protagonists exploring this strange house, and suddenly heard the sound of footsteps on the floor coming from upstairs.

Infected by the scene, Mo Guangyuan also became a little nervous and clenched his fists.

Suddenly, I felt someone behind me, turned around, and saw the leader again.

"I forgot to take something. Go back early."

"OK."

Mo Guangyuan responded, but found that the leader didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.

"Xiao Mo, if you have any questions or dissatisfaction with your work, you can tell me directly. It's okay."

The leader said earnestly.

"...I understand. I understand."

Mo Guangyuan quickly agreed.

"Then you should go back early. It's almost six o'clock."

"Yeah, okay."

Mo Guangyuan watched the other party leave and sighed.

This is a hint to myself not to work overtime and create an atmosphere of involution in the office.

But this movie...

Mo Guangyuan couldn't help but glance at the screen again.

This movie is a bit addictive, I can't stop watching it.
