Chapter 1: The Grudge! (Part )

Changsha, in this famous leisure city and sleepless city.

In addition to the young people who are having fun all night in Jiefang West, there are also poor people who are working overtime.

In the office lobby of the South China Lihua Animation Production Company, only two computers were still flashing, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding darkness.

Zhuang Boshi, head of the second editing group of the animation department/publicity assistant of the publicity department/part-time maintenance worker of the engineering department, a big-time slash worker.

At this moment, his brows were furrowed, and his hands kept tapping on the keyboard, which seemed to leave afterimages.

"Xiao Zhuang, what are you doing again? Are you still arguing with those netizens?" The colleague next to him yawned and looked at Zhuang Boshi helplessly.

"Confrontation? No, I just pointed out the mistakes in their comments, just like a grandfather teaching his grandson not to spit anywhere." Although Zhuang Boshi was furious in his heart, he pretended to be calm on the surface.

——Why does Chu Xuan in the animation look so much like a pretty boy with a weak kidney constitution? (I have no ill will towards the character, I am just complaining about whether the animation design has been eaten by a licker)
——The animation is a bit like the quality of more than ten years ago. All the special effects are very economical, and the characters are relatively stiff. It can be seen that there is a lack of funds. 80% of the production of Consortium B was outsourced to a third-rate animation company.

——Pre-view reminder: I suggest you keep your brain here, so as not to affect the viewing experience, and perfectly kill my fantasy of infinite horror animation
—— Yingkong suddenly appeared and disappeared, the ghost was changed to Cthulhu, and the folk expert Qi Teng was changed to a legendary investigator. No wonder Zhongzhou was wiped out later.
—This 3D texture must have been created by a sleazy animation editor from a sleazy company. It's even worse than the Tifa series I watched last week. If someone like that can still stay in the industry, I think this domestically-created company is doomed!

"I think the audience this time is not good enough!" Zhuang Boshi pushed the keyboard away and faced countless opponents, but was ridiculed by everyone and broke his defense. However, despite some red temperature, he still kept his mouth shut.

A colleague was amused. He stood up, patted Zhuang Boshi on the shoulder and consoled him, saying, "We're just an outsourced team. The company only provides us with such limited funding, only a few thousand yuan a month. Why risk our lives?"

"Don't be upset. You'll get used to it after a few more years. In our line of work, being scolded is better than having no one talking about it at all. I'm going to the bathroom now. We can share a ride home later."

Zhuang Boshi looked up at the ceiling, a little dazed.

His parents, who are both doctors, named him Bosch, not because they liked Bosch washing machines, nor because they required him to pass the doctoral exam.

Instead, it carries the beautiful meaning of being broad-minded and humble, but this name has brought him a lot of troubles.

When he was a child, he was nicknamed "pretending" to be a doctor, and in the university dormitory he was laughed at as "dirty" doctor. Therefore, during his rebellious period, he did not listen to his parents to pursue graduate and doctoral studies, and angrily engaged in his favorite animation industry.

With his college entrance examination score, he could have gone to a better school and chosen a more stable major, but because of his hobby, he chose the animation field, which seemed to be a sunrise industry.

I didn't expect that now I am not only a drawing dog, maintenance worker and water army, but also encountered the sudden emergence of AI, which is almost replacing the underlying animation editing.

From rising sun to setting sun, not only did it fail to seize the dividends of the times, it also had to face various pressures from the industry and endure the faces of netizens.

If I had known earlier, I should have gone to graduate school or taken the civil service exam, instead of working so hard every day for my boss's beautiful villa and RV.

"Oh, forget it, forget it, stop dreaming. The postgraduate entrance exams and civil service exams are incredibly difficult these days. I'll never be able to pass."

After Zhuang Boshi finished talking to himself, he took off his glasses, wiped them, rubbed his sore eyes, and moved his neck. He had been working for several years. Although he was still young, the overtime work day and night made his unhealthy body worse.

"Oh, what a boring life. I really need to change my way of living in the next life. Going to the main god space to sell fruits and chocolates would be better than now."

Suddenly, the computer screen flashed and a strange interface popped up.

"Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to truly live?"

Zhuang Boshi rubbed his eyes, thinking he had seen it wrong, but the interface was still clearly presented in front of him.

He was stunned for a moment, his mind almost failing to wrap around his head, but he still managed to laugh out loud: "This crappy computer not only lags when opening a video app, but even the highly praised security system is infected with a virus?"

"And it's made to look like such a cliché. Could it be someone trying to capitalize on the anime's popularity?"

"It seems the anime I participated in is not without influence."

Inadvertently, my right hand holding the mouse subconsciously clicked yes.

A strong light flashed, and the sky spun around in an instant!

"Depend on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

When my colleague came back and saw the computer still on and the empty chair, he looked around in confusion and said:

"Where are you? Why are you leaving so quickly? Why didn't you turn off your computer? No wonder HR docked your salary."

"I've done it. Grade B. Soy milk."

Zhuang Boshi was in a daze and heard someone shouting beside him. He frowned, squinted his eyes, and muttered casually.

"Thank you. If you don't want soy milk, just give me a sandwich."

"I worked overtime too late yesterday, and fell asleep on the table because of the project--" He stopped talking for a moment, and looked up. The office in front of him was no longer the one where he used to "bend over his desk" and "nod his head in study".

Instead, it was a Japanese-style room with tatami mats, wooden stairs, small compartments, dim light, strange environment, and inexplicable atmosphere.

Besides, the group of people before him were not his pale, thinning-haired, unshaven colleagues.

It was a girl with big breasts and glasses, a bad boy with a scar, a handsome guy with a pale face, an ordinary-looking man with glasses, and a man with a low sense of presence.
In order to make the animation better, he recently reviewed the novel again. Of course, he knew what the scene was.

In an instant, my brain felt like it was doused with ice water in the dog days of summer, and I instantly woke up.

No, no, no!

It's over, it's over, it's over!

Reminiscent of the "yes or no" before coma.

A very outrageous, very absurd, yet very terrifying result——

The scary thing is that I traveled through time!
What's even scarier is the time travel or the infinite terror!!

Even more terrifying is the original 20-player difficulty level of the Grudge!!!
He wanted very much to deny this fact, but what came with it was a groundless and panic-stricken feeling of unreality.

At the same time, there was a sense of finally leaving that pale, stable, boring, and safe life, like a fish that has lived in water all its life and is suddenly thrown into the sky by the strong wind and waves.

A delusional delusion.

Zhuang Boshi took a deep breath and got goosebumps all over his body.

He has always adhered to the principle of being kind to others and his academic performance is also ideal.

He also won the third prize in the district's primary school harmonica competition, was 7th in the youth group of the city's amateur Go competition, was among the top ten in the high school monthly exam, scored 602 in the College English Test Band , was the main striker in the football class, and maintained the quasi-king rank in the first district of LOL for a long time.

He loved anime so much that he taught himself Japanese, he nearly went bankrupt because of his love for painting chess pieces, and he was once a celebrity among friends and relatives.

While not a genius, I'd say I'm not mediocre. Aside from being stern with teachers when I didn't do well on tests, being criticized by parents when I chose the wrong industry, and being faced with unemployment in a sunset industry and being stern with netizens, I rarely engage in real-life conflicts.

From childhood to adulthood, the most dangerous thing I encountered was being blocked in a corner by a group of student thugs and asked for "protection money".

He was verbally reprimanded for being stubborn, but he did not lose his temper.

Instead, he first recognized the situation and gave in decisively, then used the tiger's skin to become friends with them, and finally kept the evidence and ruthlessly sued the teacher and parents.

But he never expected that someone like him who seemed unsuitable for time travel would actually get on this time travel train.

Just as Zhuang Boshi's brain was shutting down, a flushed man from Northeast China stood there and shouted gruffly, "I was clearly discussing business online. I just clicked on a pop-up ad window. How did you end up here all of a sudden?"

"Damn it, don't think I'm clueless. You guys numbed me with an anesthetic needle from behind, then moved to the house next to the internet cafe to intimidate and blackmail me, right? Don't f*cking think you're being creative. Countless people have tried this before."

Under his leadership, more than a dozen people began to chatter and make noise, and then eight or nine of them left in a noisy manner.

Zhan Lan saw the big man from Northeast China preparing to leave. Just as she was about to speak up to dissuade him, Zheng Zha suddenly grabbed her and said, "Let them go. This horror movie is the first supernatural horror movie we've ever encountered."

"None of us can help each other. If they are willing to trust us, then there is no harm in staying with us and protecting us. If they want to leave on their own, then let them survive by luck."

Zheng Zha casually explained to the remaining people, and then as if he was being stared at by something, his face turned pale, and he suddenly raised his gun and swept towards the attic on the second floor.

Everyone was puzzled, but Zheng Zha was very nervous, looking around.

"That's it, then. I've seen The Grudge, too. The chances of surviving a horror film have nothing to do with the number of people in the group."

"Even if you flee to a foreign country, you will be killed. Even if you have dozens of guards around you, you will not be able to survive."

"I will quit the team now. If we can still live and meet again, Zhang Jie, the food cooked by my sister-in-law is really beautiful."

After saying that, the bespectacled man Chu Xuan and Governor Arnold walked downstairs carrying military backpacks.

"Wait, you can't leave."

A voice suddenly stopped them in their tracks.
