I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

Jiangcheng Industrial Headquarters was sparsely lit.

As a company whose main business is real estate, Jiangcheng Industrial has no culture of working overtime. After get off work, except for a few departments, most of the employees have left.

In the chairman's lounge on the high floor, Song Yunyan was sitting on the sofa, with her secretary Li Zijian standing beside her, and Lu Juan was sitting diagonally opposite. A projection screen was hung on the wall of the lounge, ready to play Lu Juan's video.

"This video is about twelve minutes long, not too long."

Lu Jian casually explained something.

Secretary Li Zijian picked up the remote control and pressed play.

"Is this the kind of horror theme again?"

Song Yunyan asked curiously, she saw that the camera was similar to surveillance, as if she was in a car.

"I don't think it's very scary, just like Indiana Jones, adventure theme!"

Lu Jian replied immediately.

"?"

Song Yunyan was stunned.

She turned her gaze to the projection screen.

...

After twelve minutes, the video ends.

The first two viewers of this video, Song Yunyan and Li Zijian, had completely different expressions.

"Zi Jian, tell me what you think."

Song Yunyan rubbed her temples and asked the secretary to speak.

Li Zijian's expression was a little joyful upon hearing this.

"The production of this video is quite good. It has a horrifying atmosphere and the special effects are also very realistic. At the beginning, the monster appeared and disappeared, which made people feel nervous. Later, the appearance of the fish completely forced the audience's emotions to the edge of the cliff. And in the last paragraph, when the protagonist escapes from birth and sees his teammates smiling, there is really an illusion that his heartbeat is half a beat slower."

He analyzed it for a while, probably because he wanted to show his appreciation ability in front of Song Yunyan.

After all, the boss who usually doesn't have any entertainment activities is suddenly interested in this kind of video. It can't be because Lu Lian is handsome, it must be because he wants to invest in this field and make more flowers.

Asking for your own opinion now must also be to see how well the people under your command know this field.

Fortunately, I let myself be careful when I was looking for Lu Jian in the middle of the night, and then I took a little tutoring on the creation and analysis of horror movies, so I don't show my timidity now.

"By the way, the idea of ​​the plant growing out of the body is really good, and the special effects are very real. It makes me feel itchy all over. The seemingly inconspicuous plant suddenly becomes a predator. People have a sense of insecurity that is broken every day, I like this style very much!"

Listening to Li Zijian's analysis, Lu Jian nodded.

In fact, he didn't think too much about it.

I simply edited the shots that I thought would be attractive.

There is no such idea as to break the daily insecurities without serious design.

"The white humanoid monster, I think, is also very good. It looks like a human, but in fact it looks different from a human. This should be called the uncanny valley effect, so when its mouth is opened and its tongue sticks out, It makes your scalp tingle."

Li Zijian talked so much that Lu Jian was embarrassed to hear it.

"As for the shortcomings, whether it's the grassland, the mutated humanoid monsters, or the fish flying in the sky, it's a little too surreal. For Chinese people, those ghosts may be more frightening."

"Then the eating and broadcasting scene in the middle is somewhat different in style from the rest of the video. Although it looks very attractive, I don't think it matches well."

In the end, the secretary also pointed out the shortcomings of Lu Jian's video.

"learned."

Lu Jian nodded in agreement, making Li Zijian's expression brighter again.

"You go out first."

Song Yunyan didn't comment, and only let Li Zijian leave, and she and Lu Jian were alone.

After Li Zijian carefully closed the door and left,

Song Yunyan remained silent.

In the lounge with the lights turned on, Lu Jian saw that Song Yunyan's hands were shaking slightly.

This charming chairman has never seen such a big storm, but he still feels scared when faced with what Lu Jian's video shows.

That's not to say that these things look scary or that Lu Jian's editing techniques are unique and superb, but that these images remind her of that night twenty years ago.

"Where did you film these things? The dead in this video were eaten like this?"

Song Yunyan didn't ask Lu Juan about the authenticity of these videos, because she knew very well that this must be Lu Juan's personal experience.

What she is most curious about now is where these things exist.

When I think of the fact that there are plants that can grow between flesh and blood and turn humans into plants, I think of those monsters that look like humans and have terrible mouthparts that may attack me in the night, and I think of those huge, wandering creatures. Seeing the fish in mid-air devouring human limbs, Song Yunyan felt a tremor from the bottom of her heart.

That is fear of the unknown.

"You can rest assured that this is not something of this world."

Lu Jian didn't explain the Abandoned City and the Quiet Place in detail. For someone like Song Yunyan who has been in contact with related things, she should be able to imagine some, more, and the more she knows, the more dangerous it may be for her.

"As for the dead, I regret not being able to save them."

"Not this world..."

Song Yunyan chewed the word repeatedly, she looked at Lu Jian, and felt that this young man couldn't see through it at all.

"Don't you feel scared when you face these monsters?"

"How should I put it, in fact, when encountering such a thing, there is no time to feel fear. If you don't move, you will die directly."

Lu Yi said naturally.

"The reason why you shoot these videos is also because of things 'over there'?"

Song Yunyan asked again in confirmation.

"Of course, that's why I came to you, Ms. Song."

Lu Jian paused, then continued.

"You are afraid of the content of the video and the monsters in it, right?"

Song Yunyan nodded hesitantly.

"The reason why you are afraid is because these are unknown things, or mutations of things that exist in reality, which will make you feel that you have come to a strange place and generate natural fear."

Lu Juan imitated the example and processed Li Zijian's words just now.

"These things, when shown to other people, will also have a similar sense of horror, and the reason why I made the video is to let people know about these things in advance."

"Think about it, from ancient times to the present, human imagination has created many monsters, such as ghosts and monsters, but while these things bring fear to people, they also make some people accept their existence, thus weakening fear."

"So, I think that as long as these hopeful images can be shown to the world, although it may bring fear for a while, after a long time, people will gradually accept these abnormal things and eventually eliminate fear."

"The best way to eliminate fear is to face it. If similar monsters appear in the human world in the future, then humans who are prepared in advance will not fall into panic."

Lu Jian said it so clearly that even he almost believed it.

"...You mean, those things could appear in this world?"

Song Yunyan only captured this point.

Reminiscent of the videos shot by Lu Yi in his own room and Jiangcheng Grand Theater before, it shows that there must be some weird things in this world.

Maybe, these mysterious and weird things are slowly recovering.

In this case, money and power would be difficult to contend against such a monster, but someone with extraordinary power like Lu Jian might be the real thigh.

That being the case, there is nothing wrong with spending some money to buy peace of mind and have a good relationship with Lu Jian.

Song Yunyan, who had experienced these things herself, had an idea.

"Okay, I'll invest in you..."

While answering, she looked at Lu Trim, only to find that something was wriggling under the skin on the inside of Lu Trim's arm.

It's like the new shoot that is about to break out of the ground in the video.

Song Yunyan felt her heart and lungs stopped.

Noticing Song Yunyan's gaze, Lu Jian looked at his arm.

He looked up, saw the restless bulge, and gently smoothed it out.

"Please don't worry about it, Ms. Song, it's just a small problem. If you come out to mess around, you will always have to pay it back."

Lu Jian showed a smile, which made Song Yunyan shiver uncontrollably.

It's hard to describe whether those monsters are terrifying or the young man in front of him is more terrifying.

"I didn't frighten you, did I threaten you?"

Lu Yi politely confirmed Song Yunyan's investment.

"No no."

Song Yunyan noticed that her right hand seemed to be trembling even more, she held it down with her left hand and shook her head repeatedly.

"Then, happy cooperation."

Lu Jian stretched out his right hand, and the wriggling thing under the skin flashed past.
