"3257 yuan has been credited to your wallet!"
Lin Mo looked at the notification of the e-wallet arrival and smiled.
He is the owner of a game studio, mainly engaged in the business of power leveling and gold farming. He borrowed money to open this studio just after graduating two years ago. Unlike others who jumped in blindly and ended up in failure, Lin Mo really made money.
Because he is a first-rate game player, he can find the points where he can make money in any popular game on the market, no matter what type, and then make use of it after playing it once.
In addition to him, there are four other employees in the studio. The 3,257 yuan is only today's income. According to the assessment standards, Lin Mo can earn at least 1,000 yuan.
This month, my income is about 30,000 to 40,000 yuan, which makes me a high-income earner in the migratory bird market.
Although Lin Mo is the boss, he never deducts money from his employees. He will always give them exactly the right amount, and they are basically paid on a daily basis.
The money of the four people was transferred via mobile phones. Immediately, the text message notification sound of the mobile wallet arrival was heard in the room.
"Ah, money is distributed." A young man wearing glasses sitting in the corner laughed.
This house was rented by Lin Mo. It has three bedrooms and a living room. In addition to converting the living room and one bedroom into studios to place computers and mobile phones, the other two rooms are used as a lounge for employees and Lin Mo's own bedroom.
On weekdays, Lin Mo also lives here.
"Thank you, Brother Lin." A fat young man with a greasy face also became happy.
After a busy day, what I look forward to most is getting paid.
"More than 500. You made a lot today. How about you? It must be more than me." The fat man asked the man with glasses.
"I make over 600, which means my monthly income is almost 15,000. This is much more than what my classmates earn." The young man with glasses said with a hint of pride.
The other two people in the room were wearing headphones and concentrating on looking at the screen and operating the keyboard and mouse. They obviously had no time to chat, but they just took a moment to glance at their phones and couldn't hide the smiles on their faces.
Lin Mo walked over and patted their shoulders.
"Rest early today. Don't stay up late. It's bad for your health. In our line of work, health is your capital. I'll treat you to a skewers today. Relax for a while."
"Okay, Brother Lin." Several people cheered.
…
At 10:30 in the evening, Lin Mo was the only one left in the studio.
He asked other people in the studio to go back and rest. They had a flexible working schedule, usually regardless of day or night, but every week Lin Mo would force them to go home and rest for a night.
After taking a shower to wash off the barbecue smell on his body, Lin Mo made himself a cup of tea and opened a 3A horror escape game that had just been released not long ago.
Playing horror games is one of Lin Mo's ways to relax.
Lin Mo has a secret that is unknown to others.
He had no fear of this emotion.
Lin Mo discovered this by accident. Neither the physical stimulation of the roller coaster or the pendulum in the amusement park, nor the sensory and psychological stimulation of the haunted house, horror novels and movies, could make him feel any fear.
It felt like a disease, so Lin Mo even went to consult a psychologist.
The psychologist concluded that Lin Mo was born lacking this emotion.
And fear is actually very similar to excitement, so Lin Mo couldn't feel what excitement was. This was actually very boring, but Lin Mo didn't care.
He has always been a Buddhist.
Later he found that playing some horror games could bring him a little happiness, so he became addicted to it.
The scarier the better.
Even if it can give him a little bit of stimulation.
At this moment, the interface of this horror game appeared on the computer screen. Lin Mo started playing. The dark style, the elements of puzzle solving and escape, and the sudden scares were all used just right.
Ordinary people would definitely be terrified if they played it.
But when Lin Mo was playing, there was no expression on his face.
Even felt a little boring.
Lin Mo quickly finished the game, found some hidden plot easter eggs, and summarized some shortcuts to pass the game, which he prepared to post on the game forum he often visited.
As soon as he logged onto the forum, Lin Mo saw several private messages.
His ID on this forum is 'Lin Shen', a famous forum boss. Because he often posts speed-run videos of horror games, he is also known as the 'Speed-Running God' and is quite well-known.
He opened the private message and found it was from '猫猫很勇大', another famous person in the forum. Besides being very good at playing games, he also often told some horror ghost stories in the chat area and was very familiar with Lin Mo.
"Lin Shen, something big has happened, please look at this link."
There is also an address in the private message.
Lin Mo took a look at the domain name in front and knew it was not a Trojan website, so he clicked it.
A new page popped up in the browser, which was a video.
The video was shot with a cell phone, and it was a little shaky, but still clear. It was shot in a residential area, with police cars and police officers at the entrance, and ambulances constantly coming out of the community.
The scene was very tense.
There is someone talking in the video, probably the person who filmed the video.
"This is Lvyuan Community on Sanqiao Street in Houniao City. See? It's all sealed off. I heard there was a gas leak. Dozens of people died. Ambulances have taken away more than a dozen people."
"Look, there's another person pulled out in front."
Someone spoke and the video immediately zoomed in. Apparently the person filming the video ran forward and saw two people in protective clothing walking out one after the other, carrying a stretcher.
A person with clothes covering his head was lying on the stretcher, motionless.
As a result, the person in front accidentally fell, the stretcher flipped over, and the person on it also fell to the ground.
The video just captured this scene. The person who fell down was motionless and dead, but his facial features were distorted and his eyes were wide open, as if he had seen something incredible before he died and was filled with fear.
"Who are you? Who asked you to take the video?"
Someone discovered the person filming the video, and at this moment, the video came to an abrupt end.
But the face of the dead man just now is unforgettable for a long time.
To be honest, Lin Mo didn't feel anything after reading it. The only thing that concerned him was that his city was a migratory bird city, and he lived very close to the Lvyuan Community on Sanqiao Street.
'The cat is very brave' sent two private messages in total, and Lin Mo clicked on the second one.
The second one didn’t have a video, it just said if you were online, contact him immediately.
Lin Mo sent a private message back to the other party.
Soon, 'The cat is very brave' came back.
"Lin Shen, last time I heard you say that you are also from Migrant Bird City? Forget it, just add me to chat, using the in-site text message is too slow."
Below is a chat account.
Lin Mo thought about it, opened his phone and added this account as a friend.
Didi!
The prompt sounded, and the other party approved the friend request almost immediately.
"Lin Shen?"
Lin Mo replied, “It’s me.”
Then I clicked on the other party's information. The other party's chat ID was also "Mao Mao is Very Daring", the gender was female, and the avatar was a very cute cartoon cat.
"Lin Shen, I'm also from Migrant Bird City. Have you watched the video I just sent you?"
“I have.”
Cats are very brave and also live in the migratory bird city
Lin Mo really didn't know about this.
On weekdays, he would communicate with the other party in the forum. This cat was very brave and liked horror and supernatural things. Coincidentally, Lin Mo also liked them very much, so the two chatted a lot and had a common language.
"Mr. Lin, is it convenient for you to connect via video?" Looking at the message sent by the other party, Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, but still replied with a convenient answer.
Five seconds later, the other party initiated a video chat.
When Lin Mo answered the call, he saw a short-haired girl appear on the screen.
It's really a woman.
His appearance is above average.
To be honest, based on the bold chatting style of Mao Mao, Lin Mo always thought that the other party was a shemale.
"Master Lin, I didn't expect you to be so young." The girl was a little mischievous. She giggled and said, "You're quite handsome."
Seeing that Lin Mo didn't react, she had to get to the point: "Take a look at this."
After saying this, she adjusted the video's rear camera, and it was apparent that she was on a high-rise balcony, with the camera facing the residential area.
What is surprising is that this residential area is extremely quiet, while the outskirts of the community are filled with police cars and ambulances.
"You never imagined it, but I live in the Green Garden Community. How is it? Isn't it exciting?"
Maomao switched back to the camera, and it was obvious that she looked very pleased with herself.
Lin Mo knew what the other person was thinking. It was normal for a person who pursued supernatural horror stories as a hobby to be nervous and excited when he suddenly discovered that inexplicable deaths had occurred in the community where he lived.
"So it's not a gas leak?" Lin Mo asked.
"No, absolutely not. Let me tell you, the police just knocked on every door and told us to stay at home and not go out."
"I think you should listen to the police." Lin Mo warned sincerely.
"Don't worry, I know the severity of the situation." Maomao went to the refrigerator in the kitchen to get a drink, and then told him what she knew: "Lin Shen, you are the great god of the supernatural zone, tell me, is this strange? It's not a gas leak, but the police insisted on using this as an excuse. I think there must be something wrong. By the way, they said something very strange before they left."
"What did you say?"
"He said, don't sleep tonight."
