Diary
"This is Gao Xiaoyun's comb!" Ao Qingxue recognized it at a glance and exclaimed, "Wasn't it thrown away by Master Gao? Why is it still here?"
It was the first time for the interstellar people to experience the horror routine of "things thrown away come back again". They saw that Mistress Gao gathered all her long hair to one side, and the black hair flowed down from her shoulders, covering half of her face.
Slowly, mechanically, she began to comb her hair.
The lens was given to the mirror.
This is a smooth bronze mirror, but it still looks hazy and foggy, and the woman's face reflected in it appears distorted.
The perspective is limited, and the audience can only get a glimpse of the whole picture. In the background of the mirror, Master Gao is roaring and struggling, while in the foreground, Mistress Gao is still combing her hair meticulously.
[This is so weird, help me. 】
[For the first time in my life, I found mirrors so scary! ! ]
[Ahhh, how long will she finish combing her hair? ]
Tick. Tick.
There were bright red drops on the mirror. Even without a direct shot, the audience could tell that it was the hair that dripped down in the process of strangling Mr. Gao.
“…Help…Help…”
Master Gao's voice became smaller and smaller. On one side, there was death, and on the other side, there was dressing. The sharp contrast between the two created an extremely absurd and terrifying effect.
He was gradually swallowed up, and the hair wrapped around him, forming a huge, black cage.
At this time, Mistress Gao finally stopped combing her hair. She sat in front of the mirror for a while, as if admiring her hair, and then stood up and returned to the bed.
She walked through the web of hair without any awareness, and her white clothes were gradually stained with blood, like a bright red wedding dress.
Is it over...? Ao Qingxue carefully loosened her defensive arm-crossing posture, but at this moment, a shot pushed the terrifying atmosphere to a climax -
Turning the view back to the mirror, the "Madam Gao" in the blood-stained clothes in the bronze mirror was still sitting upright!
Even Ao Qingxue was frightened and let out a loud scream. Even on Earth, where the horror mirror routine has been overused, ordinary people would find similar scenes creepy, let alone the star people who are unaware of it?
I saw the corners of the woman's mouth in the mirror slowly curled up, revealing a strange and joyful smile!
The night ended, the scene changed, but the screaming in the barrage did not stop.
[Ahhh, I'm so scared that I want to cry QAQ]
[Oh my god, my heart almost jumped out of my throat! The person in the mirror is "Soft and Tender", right? ? ]
[Oh my god, I have to say Director Shang is amazing. He didn't show what the hair ghost looks like, but just through this setting he was able to show how extraordinary and terrifying it is...Ahhh! ]
Overnight, not only did Master Gao die, but the eldest son also quietly turned into a corpse, and the two remaining adult men in the Gao family's main line all died suddenly. When the mistress woke up the next day and saw herself covered in blood and Master Gao's miserable state, she was so frightened that she went crazy.
This tragedy shocked the entire capital.
Now, the Gao family's affairs could no longer be covered up. Previously, the outside world only knew that the second son of the family had died suddenly, but did not know the details. Now that the backbone is gone, all the previous affairs were exposed.
From high-ranking nobles to all walks of life, everyone is talking about the haunted Gao family.
Even though they were not from the same era, Ao Qingxue could empathize with this panic.
Gao Xiaoyun and his five-year-old half brother turned out to be the only two people in the main line who could make decisions. Gao Xiaoyun wore mourning clothes and presided over the funeral of his father and brother.
More paper money was scattered than last time, making the ground white.
[Think about it, will this hair ghost be limited to one family? If the worst happens, and it wipes out the Gao family, will it be the next family's turn? ]
[I think Gao Xiaoyun should be scared now. The lethality of the comb is far beyond the imagination of normal people. The situation has gotten out of control...]
[If I were a neighbor, I would either move or find someone to exorcise the evil spirit.]
The characters in the play obviously think so too.
Gao Xiaoyun received two pieces of news. One was that the imperial court was alarmed and was going to send capable men to encircle and suppress the evil spirits in Gao's mansion. The other was that the family that she was previously "engaged" to was willing to ignore the bad luck and allowed her to "get married" after a three-month mourning period.
Ao Qingxue began to get anxious again, and lamented once again: "I really want to see the ending directly!"
On the other side, Wu Rui was also stunned when she saw the words [Episode 3·End], and her heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat.
Although she is an actress, she only knows her script and not the exact ending.
So, what does StarNet think of her now?
Wu Rui began to refresh nervously.
[After one crisis comes another, Gao Xiaoyun's road to survival is too bumpy! ]
[This is so unreasonable. Why is that family so anxious? ]
[I guess part of the reason is that she is now an orphan and a widow, so it’s easy to bully her…]
[Wu Rui performed well in the role of White Bone Scholar. I hope she and Director Shang will become famous soon! ! ]
[Director Shang has a really good eye. From Tang Chuntao to Wu Rui, to the supporting role of the mistress, there is nothing wrong with them.]
[It’s not surprising that a new dream builder can control parameters, but it’s surprising that he can dispatch so many real actors. Director Shang is really born to do this. ]
The Skeleton Scholar…The Hair Ghost…Director Shang…Wu Rui…
These keywords were mentioned frequently, and Wu Rui was keenly aware of the change in the wind direction. She took a closer look and found that as soon as the third episode of "Rouge Comb" was released, the data soared, surpassing several other popular short dramas on the same website.
A vague excitement rose in her heart:
After accumulating for such a long time, Director Shang, his works, and herself are finally showing signs of becoming a hit.
In the interstellar age, the amount of information is infinitely complex, and it is easy for individuals to form information cocoons.
Audiences in specific fields will pay attention to things in their own fields. For example, for users of the Changqingqing website, the name "Shang Jingyan" is not only well-known, but also somewhat familiar to them.
There are indeed some users who have found relief from their cavalier syndrome thanks to Shang Jingyan's works.
Everyone was guessing when Chang Qingqing would sign this newcomer.
As for users who have gone a step further and have become fans of Director Shang, they are very familiar with events such as "Director Shang's first film won first place in the theme event", "My Dream Builder's work is being followed by a celebrity anchor from the Gamma Galaxy", "The celebrity anchor was scared to tears and his game was on the hot search in the Gamma Galaxy" and so on.
But what about the entire Exile Galaxy?
In fact, he was still a nobody. But after the third episode of "Rouge Comb" was broadcast, the situation began to change.
Exile Galaxy, V066, in an ordinary family’s home.
"Brother, look at this CP called 'White Bones and Clouds', it seems to be quite popular these days?"
The girl on the sofa clicked on the light computer with great interest, amplifying the video projection.
This is a CP clip. The name of the video is: [I am dying of it. This is a must-see beautiful love story! Bone Demon Scholar X Noble Lady, these two newcomers become gods in one battle! ]
The video editor is very skilled and perfectly showcases the emotional tension between the white-boned scholar and the rich lady. Just by looking at this little bit of content, you can imagine tens of thousands of words in your mind.
"Me too, I saw this one too." The boy said excitedly, "I'm very interested. I happen to be free tonight, so I plan to watch the original film."
The elder brother is named Jiang Yubai and the younger sister is named Jiang Yuran. They are the most typical ordinary audiences. They will only watch the works of dream builders when they are pushed to them by big data and keep up with the hottest trends.
Jiang Yuran held his face in his hands and said infatuatedly: "I have watched this clip of the bone demon and the young lady many times. It's so sweet, but the comments are weird, which makes me a little hesitant."
She randomly clicked on the first hot comment to show her brother:
[Oh my god, such a high number of views, the scam has gone viral, are you scared, the video owner? (dog head).]
The video host replied: [It is my honor to let more people come to "Rouge Comb" to eat white bones and pity the clouds (dog head) (salute). 】
The following hot comments are also very strange, with repeated warnings:
[Be prepared before watching this, it’s best to prepare some quick-acting heart-saving pills. ]
[Is it because the relationship line is so rubbish that people are crying for help? 】
[No, the emotional part doesn't take up much of the story, but it's pretty good... It's the other parts that make people scream for help! This is a horror-themed skit! I say it again, be prepared! ]
[Horror? What? But never mind, as long as the love line looks good, I'm going for it!]
Some look excited:
[Ahhh, I went to see it. How can I put it? I just want to say ahhhh!! ]
[Is it so sweet that it makes you scream? My heart is moved. 】
[No, it's not Aaaaaaaah! But it's really beautiful! (Meaningless screaming)]
Jiang Yubai looked confused and searched for Dream Builder. The associated You Yao emoticon package made him choke with laughter: "Oh, it turns out that this emoticon package also came from her work! I used it in my paper recently, 'crawling darkly and crazily', doesn't it look funny? How can it be scary?"
Jiang Yuran scratched his head and said, "I can't guess it either, but just in case, let's watch it together tonight."
Jiang Yubai nodded.
Conversations like this are still happening in many places today.
【Congratulations to Director Shang! 】
[Hahaha, Director Shang is about to soar to the sky. ]
【Go Yan Yan! 】
Shang Jingyan's backstage was filled with messages, and many strangers wanted to get close to her.
She didn't have the habit of reading private messages, but when she flipped through them, she found that she had received several official emails with green lights flashing, and she couldn't help but touch her chin.
The theme color of Chang Qingqing is green, and the mascot's name is "Qingqing", a little water fairy girl with leaves growing on her head. When Shang Jingyan clicks on the message, the little water fairy starts to spin in circles and scatter flowers.
[Dear [All Jingyan Owners]:]
[Your work has met the contract standards of the Evergreen Dream Builder website. Evergreen wants to invite you to become a contracted dream builder. Are you interested? If you want to know more, please add Editor Muxiu to discuss in detail~ [Flower Expression] Contact information: ...]
[Also: If you are interested, you can start preparing for your debut interview in advance~ Qingqing has prepared a reference outline for you: [link]……]
[Whether you agree or not, I wish you a bright future and a meteoric rise! ]
Signing a contract...
Shang Jingyan is indeed considering signing a contract. No one can do without cooperation. With the help of the website, her path to becoming a dream builder will definitely be smoother than going it alone.
After comprehensive investigation, Chang Qingqing was within her range of choices because it had the best reputation and the fairest recommendations.
Chang Qingqing, whose full name is "Chang Qingqing Dream Builder Dream City", is one of the largest dream builder websites in the Exile Galaxy - or, you can just remove the "one of".
It has an extremely illustrious history and is one of the few websites that has existed since the last epoch.
In the early days of the single planet era, Changqingqing was a literary website, and later it integrated games, music and other forms, and continued to grow and develop. Finally, when humans entered the era of spiritual power, it was the first to propose the concept of "dream builder", a master of creation.
From this perspective, it is a veteran-level predecessor in the entire Alliance Dream Builder website.
But after humans left Alpha and developed further outward, Chang Qingqing did not move their focus away, but chose to stay in the Alpha galaxy.
No one knows why the decision makers did this. In short, its glory seems to have declined now. Although there are branch stations in the main galaxy, there is always a precondition impression when mentioning it: "The one who was exiled to the galaxy..."
Therefore, its original choice has always been considered one of the most wrong business decisions.
Shang Jingyan thought for two seconds, clicked on the contact information of editor Mu Xiu, and chose to add.
Even Ao Qingxue could feel the changes in Shang Jingyan's reputation.
She was shocked when she went on air the next day: "So many more people?"
Compared to usual, her audience numbers have increased by about 30%.
[I'm new here. I got into it after watching Rouge Comb, but I don't dare to play the game, so I was recommended to come to the live broadcast room, hahaha. ]
[Me too, but I want to wait for the host to finish the game before I try it myself. ]
[Yeah, there's not even a strategy right now, I really don't want to bother thinking about it...]
The comments all gave similar reasons. Ao Qingxue was of course happy that her favorite dream builder had become popular, and she promoted it vigorously: "That's perfect, my live broadcast today will explore new areas!"
In the past week, Ao Qingxue has been trying to figure out how to use the cursed doll and did not rashly enter Building 18.
During this week, players have gradually found their direction, and there have been some hilarious incidents.
Someone has already opened up a special forum section for "Building 18", and the most popular post is: [Tell me what weird things you encountered in there? ]
[I'm a very good teacher. I just want to treat this as a daily game. Director Shang's AI is so smart, and it's quite interesting to compete with students... Do you know what I ended up with? ? "Bad Ending 2: You finally couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted, 'You are the worst class I've ever taught!' After that, you left Baishui No. 2 Middle School. You will never get the secret of No. 2 Middle School again. Try again in your next life."]
[Hahaha, I am dying of laughter. This is what the dog planner wants to say to you! You are the worst group of players I have ever taught. You play horror games like a teacher simulator.]
[Much better than me, I have already reached BE3 three times. This BE has a weird name, called "Dating can't save No. 2 Middle School"... Ah, I'm so angry, I didn't do anything, I just wanted to capture the Chinese teacher Lin Huailu every time. The key is that the reason for my death is different every time! I have already collected "fell to death when the seat belt broke at the amusement park", "choked to death when eating couple ice cream", "poisoned to death after eating expired chocolate". ]
[You always die together with Lin, how strange.]
And so on.
Ao Qingxue was playing the main storyline seriously, but she would also take a look at these posts, not only for fun, but also to infer some hidden settings. For example, Lin Huailu had already been put on her alert list.
After seeing the pop-up prompts in the game and repeated experiments, she confirmed that the cursed doll can open a time line ten years ago, and the condition must be dusk.
"It is said that in some ancient books, dusk is called the 'moment of the devil.'" Ao Qingxue explained to the new audience, "I guess that's why it can open up time travel... By the way, the number 'eighteen' is also very special. For example, ancient books believe that there are eighteen levels of hell in the afterlife."
The numbers that appear in "Building No. 18" are not very auspicious. There are many "4"s around the heroine Langzhu, which are homophonic to "death".
Ao Qingxue shook the puppet in her hand and said, "I have almost thoroughly studied its functions. Today, I will go into Building 18 to take a look."
As the sun set, she held the cursed doll high and adjusted it so that the light would find it halfway. After a moment, the surrounding scene became distorted.
It was dusk, but now it suddenly turned into night.
The most prominent change is outside the window - from the principal's office you can see Teaching Building No. 18. Originally it was a ruin with a cordon around it, but now the whole building is full of people and there are figures walking in the windows.
Ao Qingxue picked up the small bag which contained the safety hammer she had prepared, then went downstairs and walked towards Building 18.
She had a smooth journey, and the gloomy corridor was very different in this timeline. Under the lights, students who were taking a break from evening self-study were playing and playing, and they ran straight through her body - this timeline did not allow interaction with past characters.
[This should be @陆子冰, look at him! ]
[Hahahaha, Lu Zibing is about to vomit blood when he sees this. Why aren't there any rat people here? Why is it so easy to walk on flat ground here? The only difference is whether you use your brain when playing games (dog head).]
[Speaking of which, Lu Zibing hasn't dared to play "Building 18" for a week, and he even said that he was pissed off by the planner. 233. ]
Ten years ago, Building 18 had not been renovated and was as old as other old buildings on campus. The white floor tiles in the corridor had turned into an old cement gray, and the paint on the handrails of the stairs was peeling.
It was still evening self-study time, and there was no one in the dormitory, and even the lights were not on. Fortunately, Ao Qingxue brought a flashlight, and the white light illuminated a round area in front of him.
[Hiss, this is starting to feel scary...]
[I hate this feeling of limited vision QAQ]
[Ahhh, I'm so scared that a rat man will jump out of the shadows! ]
——Framing the field of vision within the range of the flashlight is a common trick used in horror games and it always works.
Ao Qingxue couldn't help but become more cautious. She checked one floor after another and came to the house number that Lu Zibing hadn't seen clearly before, "404" - it was very strange, Lu Zibing climbed in through the window and was clearly on the first floor, but he walked through the corridor and came directly to the position of "4", which seemed to be a manifestation of space distortion.
In this entire building, there is only dormitory number 4 on the fourth floor, and the other floors are only numbered up to "3", which means that only this dormitory has a door number with "4".
404 is a girls' dormitory. Ao Qingxue walked in through the door and a pop-up window popped up: [You found something you can touch. ]
It was a blue hardcover notebook with the stitching all over it, as if it had been torn in half by someone, and one corner had traces of burns.
[You have obtained the item: Diary fragment 1.]
[Here it comes, one of the common props in romance dramas: a diary! ]
[How come it is used as a prop in a horror game! ]
[Who writes a diary?]
Ao Qingxue hesitated for a few moments, but curiosity got the better of him and he just looked at it with a flashlight.
2122/11/4
It rained again today. I was in a bad mood and had a quarrel with my father. I asked my father, "Are you ready to remarry?" I saw you go on a blind date.
My father told me to leave it alone, and I said that you and the woman you were dating were not a good match at all. We talked a lot and ended up arguing. When I got off the car, we left on bad terms.
Actually, I know I was deliberately looking for trouble. I just wanted him to remarry his mother. Mom... (This part is burned and cannot be seen clearly)
The owner of the diary did not record it every day, but only every few days. There were not many words, and most of them were trivial daily matters, so Ao Qingxue just skimmed over them.
The last item on this page is a little special.
2123/2/20
I have a suspicion, but I'm not sure yet. This doesn't seem like a good place to be.
I am afraid!!!
The three exclamation marks at the end are boldly outlined in red.
What are you afraid of? Ao Qingxue flipped back and was shocked, because there was almost no content on the next two pages, only crazy lines drawn by four-color ballpoint pens, twisted and weird, occupying the eyeballs.
As she held the hardcover book in her hands, she felt a chill climbing up her fingertips.
In the gap between the two pages, one can vaguely make out the words written in blood-red pen:
The thing I left in the dormitory... (unclear) is gone!
So horrible, so ...… (repeated at least 50 times)
[Oh my god, check the mental state of the diary owner. ]
[I never thought that one day I would be able to see fear when reading words…]
[Something of hers is missing? Do you feel scared because it's missing?]
Ao Qingxue felt spiritually polluted after reading it for a long time, so she turned the page carefully.
I don’t know if there was a missing page or something, but the content on the next page returned to normal.
However, the time from the last diary entry jumped directly to one month.
2123/3/21
I've had enough! Someone has hidden my racket again. I lost it last time and my dad scolded me. Isn't it because I don't care that they think I'm easy to bully?
I really regret it. If (the words were crossed out here), I would not have come to this crappy school.
…Forget it… I need to be like my mother and learn to control my emotions, not vent my dissatisfaction on school or blame others. Only in this way can I succeed.
If you mess with me again, I won’t tolerate it!
Ao Qingxue analyzed: "She obviously suffered from school bullying... In the main timeline, there were also cases of school bullying among students. Will this be a key point?"
The diary owner was so afraid that his things would be lost before, was it because of the bully?
The next diary entry contained only three lines.
2123/3/30
Birthday. But nothing to record.
I thought about it for a long time and felt that I should actually hate you. (There are traces of water on this page, probably tears)
I ■ you. (The middle word is painted in black)
Ao Qingxue: "The diary owner's birthday is March 30... maybe that's a key piece of information. Ah, there's nothing more after that."
This is the first half of a diary. The clue also has "1" written on it, so obviously we should look for the second half.
Today's harvest was fruitful, but no useful information could be extracted for the time being, so Ao Qingxue wanted to go offline and take a break.
Suddenly, a comment said: [Ahhh Xuexue, look, Director Shang has signed Chang Qingqing, and an interview with a new artist will be broadcast tonight! ]
The treatment of dream builders in this world is directly comparable to that of celebrities. On the Chang Qingqing website, the hot search for #白骨怜云cp# is followed by #尚导签讨论创作灵感#, and the warm-up began before the time even arrived.
Ao Qingxue: “!!”
Her favorite dream builder finally gave an interview!
Director Shang has always been mysterious and low-key to the outside world, but this time we can finally see what she looks like and understand her hobbies!
