Precise and huge instruments are intertwined with each other, and countless pipes connect each small area, and documents are transferred rapidly among them from time to time.
Occasionally, one or two people wearing bright yellow protective clothing can be seen. They seem to be unable to see each other and hurriedly walk towards their posts.
From time to time, people covered in blood come in from various secret doors and go to undergo psychological tests after being purified.
Except in the containment room, there are no strange stories here, not even unclean ones.
Mystery, technology, human beings.
They fit together precisely like gears, running silently and efficiently.
This is the secret institution known as the Forgebolt.
As the name suggests, once the "bolt" is loosened, the molten iron in the furnace will pour down.
Therefore, the purpose of the existence of the Furnace Bolt is to firmly separate ordinary people from strange stories.
Different from the company's "coexistence" philosophy, there are only two iron laws in the furnace bolt.
Management, and processing.
While managing large and small non-governmental organizations, this is also the most authoritative organization for handling ghost stories in China.
It's not containment or research, it's processing.
There are so many weird stories that can be sent here that it is difficult to describe them in any specific words.
Of course, if you have to find something in common, it would be...
Danger.
If any weird rumor is released, it can easily turn a small city into a hell on earth.
It is too unstable to be contained, and innocent citizens cannot be allowed to bear the consequences of research.
In order to eliminate this danger, special equipment called "Mystery" came into being.
Depressing, dangerous, mysterious.
This is the bolt of the furnace.
However, even if the people here are elites who have been carefully selected, they will still get tired.
Even metals suffer from metal fatigue, and the good brothers of Furnace Bolt need to take a break.
The annual meeting is the time when the bolts of the furnace are at their most relaxed.
The most capable newcomers in the country are all together, making management easier.
Even if there is a new weird story, it will be dealt with by sensible old people, and there is no need to worry about public opinion.
Of course, for some people, these days are the heaviest workload.
"Well... let me take a look."
The middle-aged man stared at the screen and kept operating the mouse on his hand.
The cold light from the screen hit his face with ferocious scars, and also showed his tired expression.
Ma Yao sighed and kept looking at the airport surveillance.
Because someone called the police and said that their property had been looted at some point, and even their arms were inexplicably broken.
Considering that the reporter had neither drunk nor had a history of mental illness, the police station immediately passed on the news.
After the search by ordinary operators failed, Ma Yao decided to take action himself.
"Yes!"
Gritting his teeth, Ma Yao finally discovered something suspicious in the airport surveillance.
The other party carefully found a blind spot for surveillance, but the glass on the side just reflected their appearance.
His eyes locked on the young man wearing a black trench coat.
Adjusting the timeline, every move of the other party was caught in Ma Yao's eyes.
As the video progresses, the middle-aged man with a scar on his face gradually smiles.
"The young people in this generation of the company are very interesting."
Ma Yao grinned, stood up and walked to the elevator.
Just by looking at the box in his hand, he knew that Wang Jin was a ghost story worker from the company.
It would be a pity not to see such an interesting young man.
The lights flashed, and the picture on the screen was fixed on the drooping right hand of the golden dragon.

"Hey, hey! Let's eat!"
"Eat your grandma's claws."
In the restaurant of the assembly hall, two men who looked somewhat similar were talking quietly.
They came from a very small folk ghost story organization, so small that there were only two brothers.
Liu Da and Liu Er, they are two ordinary people with relatively high inspiration.
My elder brother is a graduated college student, and my younger brother is a physical education teacher.
Because of an accident, they came into contact with such things as ghost stories.
The two people, who had nothing to offer, had a hot idea and decided to embark on the road of no return to maintain world peace.
Well...it's chargeable.
Day after day of practice and a little bit of courage made the two of them a well-known duo in the folk circle.
Although they are not very strong, the two brothers support each other and miraculously survive to this day.
"The Good Luck Duo" is their nickname in folk circles.
After all, luck is also part of strength.
The two brothers heard about the annual meeting from an information dealer, and went to the black market to buy an admission ticket.
After struggling for a long time, I finally got in.
Of course, they didn't sneak in just to eat.
The main goal is to get to know various big guys in the ghost story circle.
It's a pity that no one paid any attention to them when I asked them all the way.
They had no choice but to sit in a chair in a daze, drooling from time to time as they looked at the beauties walking down the steps.
"Oh, what a cute girl."
Liu Da knocked down his brother's hand reaching for the food and looked at the girl who was slowly walking down the stairs.
Short skirt, short hair.
Her chubby face makes you want to take a bite, and the large coat on her body makes her petite and exquisite.
It almost feels like "punishment" is written on his face.
She's a little lolita.
"I'm just lonely, like I have no friends."
Liu Er nodded and sighed casually.
"Excellence is always accompanied by loneliness. Ugly people like you don't understand."
"Brother, we are twins."
"..."
Liu Da curled his lips, picked up a small cake and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Don't worry, what I said about your brother is absolutely right, excellence is always..."
"look."
Before Liu Da finished speaking, he heard the crowd around him start to commotion.
Liu Er pointed behind him.
The young man with a warm smile slowly walked down the steps. His vague aristocratic temperament and pure white suit attracted the attention of the audience as soon as he appeared.
Of course, even if this young man looks handsome and has a noble temperament, it will be difficult to attract everyone, including rough old men.
What is more dazzling than the young man is his female companion.
Both arms were not wasted at all, holding a girl on one side, looking very intimate.
Mainly, they are all beautiful women who are taken out and made their debut on the spot.
A gentle girl with a perfect figure, pure and lovely.
A white-haired girl with a lively temperament and a charming smile.
As soon as they appeared, all the men present slowed down their breathing.
Just when everyone was wondering whether this young man had saved the earth in his previous life, something even more outrageous happened.
"Wang Jin!"
The little loli who came downstairs before them gave a sweet shout, turned around and pounced on the young man.
"Fuck...Brother, what did you just say?"
"No, it's nothing..."
Liu Da lowered his head and crazily stuffed food into his mouth, but his eyes never left the man and three women in front of him.
He knew that after today, he might never see such a beautiful woman in his life.
"Brother, why are you crying?"
"People have different joys and sorrows. I just think they are noisy..."
Liu Da sighed, then slumped on the chair and burped.
