#293 - Office Building Horror Night Begins (2 in 1 Order)
At the start of the game, the security guard wakes up in his apartment.
Seeing that it was already dark, the protagonist muttered to himself: "Oh, damn, I'm going to be late."
He works two shifts, and today it's his turn to work the night shift.
The calendar on the wall reads February 7th, with "Happy Birthday" written on it, so it must be someone's birthday.
Chun Hei put on VR sensor gloves and started manipulating the security guard to move.
It was raining outside the window, and he briefly surveyed his home.
This seemed to be an apartment inhabited by a family of three, with children's toys and dolls scattered on the wide living room carpet.
At this moment, the security guard's stomach rumbled.
He saw a curry ricebento wrapped in plastic wrap on the table, so he sat down and started eating it with a fork.
Wearing the VR headset, Chun Hei suddenly said excitedly: "Friends, I don't know how to describe this feeling to you, I can actually smell the aroma of curry, it seems to be coming from the VR device."
The audience was stunned:
"What the heck? It can do that?"
"I've only heard that VR can simulate visuals and sound, I haven't heard that it can simulate smells."
Chun Hei manipulated the security guard to continue searching the house.
There was a birthday cake in the refrigerator.
It said: "Happy Seventh Birthday", this must be their child's birthday.
And on the wall next to the refrigerator, there was a crayon drawing of a family of three, drawn with childish strokes.
Coming to the bedroom, his wife was already asleep in bed, Chun Hei manipulated the male protagonist to put on his security guard uniform.
He also went to his daughter's room across from the bedroom and glanced at his daughter.
Chun Hei: "Wife and children are asleep, and I still have to work the night shift, this is what it is to be a middle-aged man, sigh."
The barrage(弹幕: bullet screen comments) laughed: "Hahaha, so true."
...
The male protagonist drove to the company building, and at this time, the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier.
The tall office building stood in the rain幕(雨幕: rain curtain) of the night, the atmosphere becoming more and more silent and gloomy.
After entering the building, Chun Hei's heartbeat skipped a beat.
The terrifying atmosphere of the building's lobby was creepy.
The light was dim, with only some weak incandescent lights and pale yellow emergency lights barely illuminating the entire lobby. The light fixtures on the ceiling emitted bursts of buzzing sounds, which seemed particularly strange.
The lobby was luxuriously decorated, but in this dim light, everything was shrouded in deep shadows. The paintings of the company's founders hanging on the wall, originally amiable expressions, became distorted and bizarre in this light.
The marble floor tiles on the ground were wet with accumulated water, reflecting the dim yellow lights, like a mirror. In this quiet lobby, every footstep sounded particularly clear.
The clock on the central service desk in the lobby, the hands ticking constantly. The faint electrical noise from the surveillance cameras on the wall from time to time made people feel as if they were being watched.
Suddenly, the elevator door made a森(阴森: eerie) "ding-dong" sound and opened leisurely. In this dim lobby, the light inside the elevator was like a giant abyss from hell.
Immediately afterwards, a young woman in a red dress, with disheveled hair and a pale face, flashed past at the end of the corridor.
The extreme immersion brought by the VR headset scared Chun Hei to shout:
"Oh my god, that scared me to death, did a woman just walk past?"
The barrage(弹幕: bullet screen comments) was spamming the screen:
"Isn't it normal for someone to walk by? Hahahahaha."
"Holy crap, I wasn't scared by the game, I was scared by the streamer."
Chun Hei stabilized his mind and entered the security monitoring room. The walls of the monitoring room were covered with monitors, showing surveillance of various floors.
crackling sounds...
The wall-mounted broadcast played intermittent jazz music.
Chun Hei smiled and tried to ease the atmosphere: "Is this the overtime ditty?"
On the desk in the security room, there was a note with the precautions for tonight:
[1. Check the fire alarms inside each room, then lock the doors]
[2. Turn off the lights in the bathrooms]
[3. Clean up obvious trash, such as express boxes and take-out boxes]
[4. If there are employees remaining in the company, persuade them to go home]
Next to it was a note left by the company's administrative manager:
"The previous security guard of this building, Qin Fenjin has been missing for several days, and the phone can't get through. I've completely lost contact with him.
I'm afraid he has already resigned, right?
This brat didn't even say goodbye, and left his things in the company without cleaning up. What a casual guy.
But you should be fine, right? I'll have to rely on you from now on.
Our company has a rule that overtime is prohibited after midnight, so you need to let the remaining personnel go home.
First, check the clock, surveillance cameras, and security content, and then start patrol.
Don't even think about slacking off, I know, as a 35-year-old man, you have your own weakness, that is your wife and children!
So, you better honestly complete your duties.
After all, jobs are hard to find these days, if you don't do it, there are plenty of people who will!"
The game prompted:
[Time Management Challenge Started: As a night shift security guard, your job has a tight schedule. When inspecting the floors, you need to complete all tasks within the specified time, otherwise you will be punished by the manager, and the game will fail.]
[The first task is to thoroughly inspect 1F, time limit 15 minutes, countdown starts...]
The barrage(弹幕: bullet screen comments) comment:
"Goodness, overtime is only prohibited after midnight, what a conscientious company."
"This manager's tone in the message is disgusting, exactly the same as my company's department supervisor."
Chun Hei looked at the monitoring display and murmured:
"From the screen, it does seem like there are still people left in the building. Anyway, let's start from the first floor, patrol in order, and then lock the doors."
Just then, there was an unusually ear-piercing noise outside——
吱——嘎——(吱——嘎——: creak)
This sound seemed to be the sound of tables and chairs being moved, or someone scratching a metal plate with their fingernails.
Chun Hei and the audience were startled again.
Some viewers commented:
"Damn, didn't Taoyuan乡(桃源乡: Taoyuan Village) say that this is a warm game to experience rich daily life?"
"You tell me if the experience is rich or not."
Chun Hei looked up at the clock in the security room, which already pointed to 0:05 AM.
His good daughter is still waiting at home, let's finish early and go home.
...
He held up a flashlight, the beam shaking in the dark corridor, reflecting deep shadows.
He began to open the doors of the offices one by one. Every time he pushed open a door, the creaking sound of the door seemed particularly jarring in the silence.
In the office, the dim yellow emergency lights cast mottled light and shadows, and the lifeless photos hanging on the wall projected strange shapes in the flashlight beam.
"This is just a normal working game, don't scare yourself."
Chun Hei comforted himself and began to check the equipment in each room and close the doors.
When Chun Hei passed an office, he suddenly vaguely heard a faint whispering, or it sounded like the wind blowing in the distance.
This whispering, in the high-fidelity stereo headphones attached to the VR device, was particularly noticeable.
He slowed down his pace, the flashlight beam focused on the door缝(门缝: door seam), trying to perceive everything inside the room. There was still no one to be seen in the room, but the whispering sound seemed to become clearer.
Chun Hei felt a slight chill in his heart, a wave of goosebumps.
But he still mustered the courage and pushed open the door.
Some files were scattered on the desk, and the computer screen was flashing a standby indicator light.
He suddenly felt a chill.
The room was unusually cold, and the air permeated with a damp aura.
And this dampness and coldness were also transmitted to the real-world Chun Hei through the VR device's sensory controller.
Chun Hei exclaimed: "It's hard for me to describe this feeling to you, I've been playing games for so long, and this is the first time I've had this kind of sensory experience."
And the audience watching the live stream also exclaimed:
"This picture is so exquisite and realistic, I can even feel the cold air of the building."
"As expected of Taoyuan乡(桃源乡: Taoyuan Village), the VR technology is really getting better and better, even more advanced than the bizarre small country simulator!"
"With this kind of scene atmosphere effect, I feel like if I play it, I'm afraid I'll fall into the game. It would be too scary if a monster suddenly appeared."
"This really创(开创: pioneers) a new game experience, I don't want to touch traditional horror games anymore."
"Damn, why is the purchase qualification so hard to get, I also want to wear the VR and experience it myself ahhh."
The whispering sound was getting closer and closer, just behind a small door inside the office.
Chun Hei held up the flashlight and swallowed his saliva.
"Who is it!"
Chun Hei shouted and kicked open the door!
Only to see, a man in a suit was standing in front of the company's performance report, pondering, talking to himself from time to time.
It seemed that this whispering sound was coming from him.
Chun Hei's intrusion did not affect him, he was still calmly drinking coffee.
"Ah, you're the new security guard."
"Hello, it's time to get off work."
Chun Hei sighed in relief, trying to keep his tone calm as possible, and spoke into the VR microphone.
After all, the clearing the area effect will also affect the final game evaluation, and he hopes the other party will cooperate.
The person in the room looked down at his wristwatch:
"It's already this time, and the performance report that needs to be done hasn't been finished yet. It seems that I'll have to give my subordinates a little pressure tomorrow."
That man put down his coffee cup and left the room.
The barrage(弹幕: bullet screen comments) started frantically spamming the screen:
"Goodness, that scared me to death, I knew it, this is just a normal game."
"But your manager is too hardworking, not only rolls himself, but also his subordinates together?"
Chun Hei also sighed in relief at this time, and commented self-deprecatingly: "If I drive away all the people working overtime, then my working won't be considered working overtime, right."
...
Next, Chun Hei continued to lock the doors of each room.

A young girl's voice came, she seemed to be talking to an employee:
"You're still at it? Seriously impressive. This manager is really using you like livestock. Well, I'm going home, you keep it up!"
Chun Hei judged: "Looks like it's internal monitoring of this office, someone is grinding overtime."
Chat:
"Playing till now, I feel like this company is super competitive."
"Similar to my workplace."
Chun Hei continued to patrol the second floor restroom, and just as he subconsciously turned off the lights, a sound from a toilet stall startled him:
"Hey, who is it? What's the matter?"
Chun Hei covered his chest to calm down, and patiently said:
"I'm the security guard, are you still working overtime?"
"...Ah~ it's the security guard? Could you please not turn off the lights? I'll turn them off later."
Chun Hei said in the live broadcast: "Damn, no way, I can't let you scare me for nothing? I'm gonna be mischievous!"
Chun Hei directly turned off the bathroom lights.
"Sorry, I'll leave first then."
Chat: "Hahahahaha, the streamer is such a bad egg."
...
He successfully completed the 2F patrol before the countdown ended, and the streamer arrived at the third floor.
Chun Hei: "Why does every floor look the same?"
Although he complained, he felt a little more relaxed in his heart:
"Taoyuan Township really doesn't have experience making horror games, is this it?"
He hummed a little tune, walking down the corridor with a flashlight, when suddenly—
"Gahhhhh!"
A strange cry came again from the top of the building, making his blood run cold.
Immediately afterward, the door behind him suddenly opened with a click, maximizing the terrifying atmosphere!
"Ahhhhhh, sorry, sorry for disturbing you!"
Chun Hei was so scared that he screamed in a high-pitched male voice, turned around and fled, entering a dark office area.
He squatted in the corner, feeling weak, lonely, and helpless.
Suddenly,
Crash!
Another strange noise echoed in the room.
Chun Hei screamed in fright again!
He mustered his courage to go over and take a look, and breathed a sigh of relief: "What, it turned out to be a lamp falling to the ground."
The live broadcast chat was flooded with comments:
"Damn, I was scared to death three times by the streamer in just a few minutes."
"Streamer, pay for my medical expenses."
Chun Hei calmed his mind a little, and continued to patrol the conference room. Suddenly, the sound of metal objects dragging came again from the ceiling above.
It was as if someone was dragging a heavy weapon.
Chun Hei was directly enraged: "Damn, what the hell is that noise upstairs, I've been putting up with you for a long time!"
After that, in the conference room on the third floor, he also found a cathode-ray tube television.
He still couldn't see the picture, and could only hear the background sound.
A middle-aged man with an authoritative tone said:
"Finish this before tomorrow!
You're not allowed to leave work until it's done. Be prepared to stay up all night at the company!
Huh... what's with that look in your eyes? I'm your supervisor.
Hey, are you listening? I'm warning you, don't space out!"
Afterward, the sound of the two arguing came.
Chun Hei: "Seems like someone is working overtime, can't keep going, and then the leader came to urge them?"
The chat felt empathy: "Miserable overtime worker."
He continued to turn off the lights in this room, and sounds kept ringing outside.
Chun Hei shouted to embolden himself: "This broken game of yours, stop making these squeaking noises, just come or go! Be decisive!"
Then, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw a human-shaped phantom at the end of the corridor, flashing past.
The streamer broke down on the spot: "I was wrong, I was wrong, don't come over QAQ."
The chat went wild with laughter: "Hahaha, the streamer is a three-second true man."
Finally, when Chun Hei arrived at the third-floor restroom, just as he was about to turn off the lights,
Someone in a stall suddenly said a sentence that made him feel like he had fallen into an ice cave:
"Why did you turn off the lights just now? Didn't I say, I haven't come out yet, don't turn off the lights?"
