"Yu Ziyu, male, 20 years old, freelance photographer."

When he said this, his voice paused before continuing: "He published his debut titled 'After Falling Asleep' as 'Midnight', and he won a lot of success in one fell swoop. He has won prestigious awards at home and abroad, his whereabouts are mysterious, his appearance has not been disclosed to the public, and his behavior is eccentric. "

The debut film titled "After Falling Asleep" completely recreates the scene in a hospital room.

It is said that the patient captured in the photo did indeed die that night, so this is indeed a death photography. Marginal photographers like them seem to like to use their lenses to capture the breath of death.

Ziye's works are all related to ghost stories, death and destruction.

"Does he have any psychological problems?"

"There should be. I found out here that he meets a psychiatrist once a week and has detailed medication records."

But the content of the conversation is encrypted, and I am afraid only the psychiatrist and himself will know it. Of course, if those conversations can be investigated by them, this service is really not worth its high price.

"Crack."

The movement of turning the pen paused, and the ballpoint pen was suddenly grabbed.

At the same time, the backrest finally turned around, revealing Lou Chen's frowning face. His black hair was slightly messy, which made his temperament a little decadent. But when the other party looked at him, he moved the hair that covered his eyes. , his face turned relaxed.

He was holding a ballpoint pen in his hand, and a sketchbook with yellowed edges in his hand. The cap of the pen was not closed because he was still drawing lines on the drawing paper just now.

"It's him."

"What...?"

Lou Chen didn't smile. He tapped his slender fingers on the table and touched the face of the person in the photo. He said in an extremely calm tone: "'Jealousy' is looking for That person should be him."

His eyes fell on the photo on the table, staring at the extremely beautiful face, and he couldn't help but be slightly lost in thought.

The photo was obviously taken secretly, because Yu Ziyu was walking forward without squinting, and his figure was a little blurred. He was wearing a pure black windbreaker that reached his ankles, as if covered with a layer of crow feathers, revealing a The amputated ankle was like porcelain, so white that it was almost transparent. It had a morbid and mournful beauty, as if it would wither in the next moment.

Xiao He also looked over, and with just one glance, he seemed to be sucked into a whirlpool, and he was suddenly unable to extricate himself.

"Does it look good?" Lou Chen said with unclear meaning.

"Indeed... good-looking." Xiao He couldn't move his eyes away, and said in an envious tone, "I think he is prettier than those celebrities. He can look like this. In fact, he is not human, right?"

Because of his words, the air became strangely quiet. quite a while.

Lou Chen turned around and said, "You were fired."

"Why?" Xiao He was shocked and came back to his senses.

"The mission is too dangerous. We don't want disabled people." Lou Chen raised his eyelids.

"Disabled?"

Lou Chen pointed at his eyes and smiled teasingly: "Just now, your eyeballs fell off."

"..."

Hearing this, Xiao He took another look at the photo and said coquettishly: "Don't be like this, captain, I'm just expressing my opinion."

He said this with a hint of flattery, but he knew very well that his captain had better speak up. If it didn't involve the bottom line, he would never be angry with them. The players are pretty good.

"Why do you think Yu Ziyu was targeted?"

Xiao He racked his brains, but couldn't think of anything, so he could only give up in frustration: "...I don't know, but I know they always have a reason and will not treat humans casually. Take action."

"I hope you can be more serious." Lou Chen looked away, let him go, and said lightly, "You know what 'jealousy' means, so why did he come to Yu Ziyu and why did he go out. Here now? And...has the boss of the seventh floor, Arrogance, also come out?"

Xiao He was startled. Will

the seventh floor boss -

Arrogance also appear?

Everyone in this department knows very well how "Hell Paradise" is a horrific and bloody purgatory on earth, but it is also equivalent to a gun that isolates the most terrifying monsters. But now, the entire system has collapsed. This is never a good thing.

Hearing the name, Xiao He took a breath: "Why is this..."

"Do you still remember a conjecture? Hell Paradise is actually the territory of the seventh-level boss, such as Blue Beard, Bloody Mary's Bloody Castle, and others The boss and monsters are just his servants, protecting it like a knight, trapping players with bloody copies and levels, and not allowing players to disturb its tranquility. "

Lou Chen's voice was very relaxed, as if he was really there . As if telling a fairy tale, he folded his fingers on the table.

"..."

"In addition to princesses, there are also demon kings living in the tower." He joked, but his words were not easy to say, "Perhaps this is the reason why mysterious phenomena have been happening so frequently recently... They have a backer. "

This sentence caused the office to fall into silence.

Lou Chen's eyes fell on the photo again, staring at Yu Ziyu's face, seeming to be distracted again.

"Captain." After a moment, Xiao He said hesitantly, "I have always wanted to ask, do you still remember the appearance of the seventh floor boss?"

This question has been bothering and tormenting him for a long time.

He was also a player in the park, but he was lucky. He was inexplicably teleported when he was still on the first level. But Lou Chen was different from all of them because he was the first and only one to pass all the levels. The ultimate player.

Therefore, he must have seen the most mysterious seventh-level boss in the legend.

Xiao He had heard rumors of arrogance countless times when he was in Hell Paradise. No matter it was the fear of fellow players or the praise from monsters, he could not fill the blank figure. It is said that he can float in all layers. Within a few seconds, it is equivalent to a moving bug, and any player who touches it will definitely die.

Some people say that he has platinum hair color and captivating eyes burning with the green flames of hell, and there is always a pure white poisonous snake beside him. Like his master, his eyes are lit by the green light of phosphorus fire, hissing The ground stuck out its forked tongue and glided beside him step by step... But it was just a rumor.

No one has seen his true appearance, because he died before hearing the sound of his long trench coat being blown by the wind. This description always makes Xiao He think of ominous things like dark clouds quickly covering the moonlight, and the tide fading in the darkness. The image, that fear is abstract, intangible but airtight.

They have intruded into its territory and must pay a price, because reality is not a fairy tale.

"...Of course I remember."

Hearing this, Xiao He was surprised. He didn't expect the captain to answer this question.

I saw Lou Chen's eyes slowly sinking, submerging into the darkness, and said in a cold tone: "I dare not forget it. If I have the chance, I will definitely kill it with my own hands."

He rarely spoke in such a disgusting tone. , although it is very calm, it makes the listeners shrink involuntarily.

Xiao He shuddered subconsciously.

He heard that the captain had a fixed partner in the game, but in the end he was the only one who came out of the game, which meant that that person stayed in the game. This was of course a euphemism. His partner was most likely dead. Now it seems that he and The seventh floor boss is inseparable from this relationship.

However, this partner is very mysterious, just like the captain imagined it, because no one except him remembers the existence of such a person, and even the captain himself cannot give a detailed description, but they will not feel that the captain has fabricated one. My partner will only think that this is a trick of the seventh floor boss.

Xiao He knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he chose to remain silent.

Fortunately, Lou Chen quickly returned to his previous calm expression, and he began to write again: "Our great photographer is in a very dangerous situation now."

Xiao He said quickly: "I heard that he has become a suspect "Captain, it seems that the case has not been transferred to us yet."

"I don't know why the two police officers responsible for investigating the case went home directly. They clearly called and asked them to bring the files before seven o'clock... ...I will go to the police station and get the files on this case. Don't worry, captain, I will protect and monitor him myself, and nothing will go wrong."

He said dryly, hoping that jealousy wouldn't be too difficult. After all, he thought, he had never dealt with a monster of this level.

"You go investigate that case and try to bring the victim back." However, Lou Chen said.

"What?" Xiao He was startled, "But Yu Ziyu..."

Although it was announced that it was a murder case, when the police arrived, they did not find the boy's body. Lou Chen guessed that the victim was still alive, but he didn't know that the piece of meat would be Where he took him obviously needs to be tracked, and the longer time passes, the more dangerous it becomes.

I have to mention one thing - there are different bosses on each level in Hell Paradise. They cruelly take away the lives of players. In the dark and depressing atmosphere without seeing the sun, a disease similar to Stockholm Syndrome gradually spreads. , some players actually developed a fanatical mentality of worshiping the boss.

They choose to kill players and please monsters. Most people wake up after leaving the game, but the rest choose to continue to sink on the edge of madness, and claim to be the loyal believers of those monsters - although the boss may not even look at it. Will not give it to them.

But now there is news that jealousy has appeared, and the group of believers among them has probably started this kind of perverted behavior against humanity again. Since he disappeared alive, it must be related to the believers.

"I will be responsible for Yu Ziyu."

"But -"

Xiao He was about to speak, but Lou Chen waved his hand, indicating that he can take action now. Lou Chen basically will not change his decision, there is no other way, Xiao He He hesitated for a moment, then he could only open the door and leave.

The door closed and the office fell into silence again. Lou Chen put down the sketchbook in his hand. The breeze poured in from the half-closed window, blowing the corners and rustling. His fingers fell on the few sketches drawn with a ballpoint pen. In outline -

it was a figure that was too blurry to be distinguished, with only a pair of clear eyes.

Just as Xiao He guessed, he no longer remembers anything about the companion who broke through the level with Lou Chen, as if something had erased his memory. The only thing he remembers is the sudden change of the pair of eyes in the last scene. Got cold eyes.

But he was quite clear. A voice kept telling him that this lost memory must be related to the seventh floor boss.

He guessed that it probably took away his memory and killed his companions.

Lou Chen frowned. He couldn't understand why he had a strange feeling in his heart, and he couldn't understand why he couldn't help but look at the information on the table.

After a pause, he had to obey his inner desire and once again focused on the photo of Yu Ziyu.

Suddenly... a strange impulse dominated his fingers, causing him to pick up the sketchbook and photos, and put his two eyes together.

"..."

After a while, Lou Chen lowered his hand and smiled to himself.

Although they do look similar, they actually... don't match.

Both of them have rare pure black eyes, but Yu Ziyu's eyes are more cold and ruthless. The feeling of looking at people is close to looking down. It seems that the contempt and ridicule in the femur evaporates from the overly refined and proud facial features. The whole person is dark and heavy, like a cold and dark pantomime, full of sharp aggression.

And the dead companion seemed to be more lazy and listless...

Lou Chen put down his sketchbook and pinched his eyebrows.

What was he thinking, that for a moment he thought they were the same person?
