Mo Guangyuan's eyelids twitched, his heart skipped a beat, and he retracted his little hands.
He paused the video and looked carefully at the corner of the table. There seemed to be something in the shadows.
When he dared to move closer, Mo Guangyuan saw that it was a rag, and he didn't know who had thrown it here.
He stood up, threw the rag back into the tea room, and sat back down.
After saying hello to his colleagues and putting on his headphones, Mo Guangyuan felt something was wrong again.
He looked back at the colleague who had just greeted him.
There seemed to be something spying on him in the shadow of his colleague.
Mo Guangyuan was a little panicked and looked carefully.
It turned out that it was just a print on clothes.
"With all the aesthetics these days, how can you print eyes on clothes..."
Mo Guangyuan muttered softly.
He continued to watch the movie.
Gunshots rang out, breaking the silent night. The camera moved up, and a decadent city appeared on the screen.
Later, the city became alienated and flat, just like the paintings.
No, it really became a painting, an illustration on the page.
The text written on the page seemed to be the content of a thriller novel. The book was closed with one hand, and you could see the title "Shadow of Terror" and the name of the author's ancient capital.
The camera looked up, showing a middle-aged man with a solemn expression as he put the book back on the bookshelf. The camera followed the movements of his hand and pulled back, showing the entire bookstore's bookshelf.
There are all kinds of horror novels with horrifying covers. The authors are all from Gudu. At the same time, there are also previews of Gudu's new works, which seem to be quite popular.
The camera continued to move back, which was a common way to show a panoramic view, but Mo Guangyuan felt something strange.
At this time, he suddenly realized that there was a big problem with this lens.
When a normal lens is zoomed out, just like the human eye, everything recedes simultaneously, following the rules of near and far, and all become smaller together.
But in this shot, the bookshelf in the middle has not changed at all, but the surrounding scenery has changed, as if the space was suddenly distorted, giving people an unstable, twisted and weird feeling.
This method of zooming was very novel, and it immediately caught Mo Guangyuan's attention.
I think back then, he was also a graduate of the film and television major. It was not that he couldn't find a job, so he had to take the exam. It took him two years to get in.
The use of this lens attracted Mo Guangyuan. He found this lens very interesting and couldn't help but sit upright.
As the plot progressed, he realized that the plot at the beginning was actually the content of a novel, and the author named Gudu was a best-selling novelist in Abandoned Capital.
This city is like a metropolis in a superhero movie. It is prosperous and glorious, but it also has poverty and desolation. The protagonist is a detective who lives above a restaurant and has a fat orange cat at home. He looks quite down and out.
.
He checked his mailbox and saw some letters and power of attorney. He didn't pay attention to it, but went out to meet his friends in a teahouse.
The protagonist's two friends are also very distinctive. One is a handsome but neurotic young man, and the other is a petite girl wearing clothes like a medieval knight's armor. According to the introduction, both of them have something special.
The power of.
They were discussing matters in the ancient capital. From these conversations, Mo Guangyuan could probably tell that they had experienced adventures before and were investigation partners.
But I didn’t mention the specific adventure, and it didn’t feel important.
Just as they were talking freely, outside the glass wall, the man who had been reading the novel with a serious expression suddenly appeared. He held a gun in his hand and shot at everyone in the teahouse.
But what I didn't expect was that the three protagonists showed extraordinary power through one operation. They actually stopped the man's attack, knocked him unconscious, and used physical means to torture him for some clues.
Mo Guangyuan felt the same pain when he saw the beautiful girl with a short head but wearing armor punch out and the tall man's face turned black and purple.
"It turns out this is a fantasy film with super powers."
Mo Guangyuan murmured to himself.
What unfolded after that was extraordinary. The three of them decided to investigate the incident in the ancient capital because they were threatened. They came to the publishing house and got more information.
Up to this point, the plot was in a state of exploration, but when the editor took out the manuscript for the beginning of the novel, several people became uneasy.
Because the content of this manuscript is exactly what they are experiencing now.
As he read the manuscript, the weird zooming method appeared again, which made Mo Guangyuan feel depressed.
Moreover, the name of this novel is "In the Mouth of a Madman", and it seems that the plot of this movie is derived from this novel.
For a moment, Mo Guangyuan was a little confused.
He didn't know whether the detectives in the movie were real or just part of the story, just like the man who killed his companion at the beginning.
Maybe now these people will soon turn the page like the beginning and tell everyone that they are all part of the story.
Involuntarily thinking about it, Mo Guangyuan felt that if he suddenly got a novel at this time, which was all about what he had done before and what he was planning to do, he would also feel a little scared.
The movie came to the novelist's house again. This dark and strange environment made Mo Guangyuan suppress his emotions again.
Just as the camera was slowly exploring with the protagonists, Mo Guangyuan was suddenly tapped on the shoulder.
"Fuck!"
He cursed subconsciously, took off his headphones and looked back, only to find that it was his leader.
"Xiao Mo, remember to turn off the lights and close the door when you leave."
The leader pointed to the switch at the door.
"oh......"
Mo Guangyuan responded subconsciously, his mind still in a daze.
"The work doesn't have to be too hard. Just finish it on time. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
The leader patted Mo Guangyuan on the shoulder again before leaving the office.
When Mo Guangyuan took a look, he realized that it was almost 5:20, and 20 minutes had passed since he got off work. Even the leader who usually left last had already packed up and went home.
The leader's intention is not that he really cares about Mo Guangyuan, but that if Mo Guangyuan works overtime every day, it will cause other colleagues to leave at the end of the day, which is very unprofessional. This kind of behavior should be boycotted collectively.
Turning his head back, Mo Guangyuan hesitated.
Now that I'm home, the movie is half-way through.
He was a little curious and itchy about how it would develop next.
"No, let's come and see you tomorrow. I won't work overtime today, and my wife will scold me then."
Mo Guangyuan said this, but he still pressed the play button honestly.
"Watch for five more minutes, just five minutes."
Mo Guangyuan muttered and continued to look back.
He saw the protagonists exploring this strange house, and suddenly heard the sound of stepping on the floor from upstairs.
Infected by the picture, Mo Guangyuan was also a little nervous and clenched his fists.
Suddenly, I felt someone behind me. I turned around and saw the leader again.
"I forgot to take something, please go back early."
"OK."
Mo Guangyuan responded, but found that the leader didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.
"Xiao Mo, if you have any problems or dissatisfaction with your work, you can tell me directly. It doesn't matter."
The leader said earnestly.
"...I understand, I understand."
Mo Guangyuan hurriedly agreed.
"Then you go back early, it's almost six o'clock."
"Well, okay."
Mo Guangyuan watched the other party leave and sighed.
This is a hint to yourself not to work overtime and create an atmosphere of involution in the office.
But this movie...
Mo Guangyuan couldn't help but glance at the screen again.
This movie is a bit toxic and I can't stop watching it.
