I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

  Chapter 52 052. I didn’t threaten you, did I?

  Jiangcheng Industrial Headquarters, sparsely lit.

  As a company whose main business is real estate, Jiangcheng Industry does not have a culture of working overtime. After get off work, most of the employees have already left except for a few departments.

  Located in the high-floor chairman’s lounge, Song Yunyan sits on the sofa with her secretary Li Zijian standing beside her, while Lu Zie sits diagonally opposite. A projection screen is hung on the wall of the lounge, preparing to play Lu Zie's video.

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

  Lu Yi explained casually.

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

   "Is this another kind of horror theme?"

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

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

   Lu Zan answered immediately.

  "?"

  Song Yunyan was stunned.

  She turned her eyes to the projection screen.

  Twelve minutes later, the video ends.

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

   "Zi Jian, tell me your thoughts."

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

  Li Zijian's expression was a little cheerful when he heard the words.

"The production of this video is quite good. It has a thrilling atmosphere and the special effects are also very realistic. At first, the monster appeared out of sight, which made people very nervous. Later, the appearance of the fish completely forced the audience's emotions to the edge of the cliff. And in the last part, the scene where the protagonist escapes from birth and sees his teammates smiling, really has the illusion of a slow heartbeat."

  He analyzed a circle, and probably also wanted to show his appreciation ability in front of Song Yunyan.

  After all, the boss who usually has no entertainment activities suddenly became interested in this kind of video. It can't be because Lu Zie is handsome. He definitely wants to invest in this field and make more flowers.

  Now asking for your own opinions, it must also be to see how well the people under you understand this field.

  Fortunately, at that time, I had a mindful look when I was looking for Lu Zie in the middle of the night. After that, I learned a little bit about the creation and analysis theory of horror movies, and now I am not showing up.

"By the way, the creativity that the plant grows from the body is indeed very good, and the special effects are very real. It makes me feel itchy all over my body. The plant that usually looks inconspicuous 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 Zan nodded.

  In fact, he didn't think so much.

  I just edited the shots that I found attractive.

  I haven’t seriously designed any ideas to break the daily insecurities.

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

  Li Zijian talked endlessly, and Lu Yi was embarrassed to hear it.

  "As for the shortcomings, no matter the piece of grass, the mutated humanoid monsters, and the fish flying in the sky, they are all too surreal. For the Chinese people, the ghosts may be even more frightening."

   "Then the picture in the middle is different from the other parts of the video. Although it looks attractive, I don't think it matches well."

  Finally, the secretary also pointed out the shortcomings of Lu Zin’s video.

"learned."

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

   "You go out first."

  Song Yunyan did not comment, only let Li Zijian leave, and he and Lu Zan were alone.

After Li Zijian closed the door carefully and left, Song Yunyan remained silent.

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

  This charming chairman, who has never seen any big winds and waves, still felt fear when faced with what Lu Zin’s video showed.

  That is not to say that these things are scary in appearance or that Lu Zin’s editing techniques are unique and superb, but that these images remind her of that night twenty years ago.

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

  Song Yunyan did not ask Lu Zie about the authenticity of these videos, because she knew very well that this must be Lu Zie’s personal experience.

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

When I thought of if there were plants that could grow between flesh and blood, turning humans into vegetation, when I thought of those human-like monsters with terrifying mouthparts, they might attack themselves in the dark, when I thought of those huge ones, swimming around. Song Yunyan felt a tremor from the heart as the fish in mid-air swallowed up human stumps.

  That is the fear of the unknown.

  "You can rest assured, this is not something in this world."

  Lu Yi did not carefully explain the abandoned city and the quiet place. For people like Song Yunyan who have been in contact with related things, she should be able to imagine some, more, and the more they know, 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 Nai, and felt that the young man couldn't see through it at all.

  "When you face these monsters, don’t you feel scared?"

   "How should I say, in fact, when you really encounter this kind of thing, you don't have time to be afraid. If you don't move, you will just die."

  Lu Yi said it for granted.

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

  Song Yunyan asked again with confirmation.

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

   Lu Yi 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 the mutations of things that exist in reality, which will make you feel that you have come to a strange place and have natural fear."

  Lu Yi had to learn something, and processed Li Zijian's words by himself.

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

"Think about it, from ancient times to the present, humans’ own imagination has also created many monsters, such as ghosts, ghosts, and alien demons. But while these things bring fear to people, they also make some people accept their existence, which weakens them. fear."

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

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

  Lu Kie was so eloquent that he almost believed it.

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

  Song Yunyan only captured this.

  I think that Lu Zin’s previous videos were all in his room and the Jiangcheng Grand Theater, indicating that there must be some weird things in this world.

  Maybe, these mysterious and strange things are slowly recovering.

  In this case, money and power are hard to contend in front of such a monster. On the contrary, a person with extraordinary powers like Lu Zie may be the real thigh.

  In this case, spending some money to buy peace of mind, and a good relationship with Lu Zie is no problem.

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

   "Okay, I will invest in you"

   While she answered, she looked at Lu Nai, only to find that something was squirming under the skin on the inside of Lu Nai's arm.

   is like the new shoot that is about to break through the ground in the video.

  Song Yunyan felt her heart and lungs stopped.

   Noting Song Yunyan's gaze, Lu Zan looked at his arm.

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

   "Please don't care, Ms. Song, it's all small problems, and you always have to pay it back when you come out."

  Lu Zin showed a smile, and Song Yunyan couldn't help but shiver.

  It is difficult to describe, whether those monsters are scary or the young man in front of them is more scary.

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

  For Song Yunyan’s investment, Lu Zie politely confirmed.

"No no."

  Song Yunyan realized that her right hand seemed to tremble more severely, she held it down with her left hand, shaking her head again and again.

   "Then, happy cooperation."

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