I, the screenwriter, have experienced a resurgence of inspiration.

The official app design features an exceptionally simple interface.

The homepage only has four simple sections:

[Abnormal Reporting], [Quest Acceptance], [Dungeon Information], [Player Forum]

More features are under development...

At the top of the homepage hangs an official, permanently pinned announcement in bold red text, making it exceptionally eye-catching:

[Urgent Notice: Supernatural disasters are becoming increasingly common nationwide. All citizens should be vigilant and report any unusual occurrences immediately.]

Do not believe or spread rumors, and do not touch any supernatural entities without authorization. Your safety is paramount!

[Official Benefits: All registered players enjoy lifetime free paranormal health checkups, free special training, free access to information, free emergency rescue, etc.]

[Disciplinary Notice: Ordinary people are strictly prohibited from privately capturing, raising, or trading supernatural entities. Violators will be held criminally liable according to law.]

Song Mo paused briefly on "feeding" before browsing through the various functional sections.

She had already learned about the abnormality report beforehand, so she only glanced at it briefly and skipped it.

The task acceptance part is quite interesting.

In addition to official public service missions, there are also high-risk bounty missions and regional patrol missions.

—It's just like the adventurer's hall in a game.

Although currently completing missions can only earn points, the Special Investigation Bureau has opened a channel for exchanging points for cash.

Therefore, we can see that many players have accepted real-world missions.

It hasn't been that long—less than half a year, and the official team has already set this up.

It's likely that as the official team accumulates more items, they'll be able to exchange for more things by completing tasks.

Next is the dungeon information section. Currently, the only dungeons that can be found are 【Taiping Cemetery】, 【High School Ghost Stories】, and 【Old Master Huang's Birthday】.

It's estimated that the official data for the Death Train replica was still being compiled at the end of the Song Dynasty, so it wasn't uploaded.

Each instance has been categorized by difficulty and level, and every new rule added represents a painful lesson learned.

For example, in the "Grandma Huang's Birthday" dungeon, some players warned, "Never get off halfway," "Don't refuse the tasks given by the villagers," and "Absolutely, absolutely do not try to use bugs to clear the dungeon."

Looking at those avatars and IDs at the end of the Song Dynasty, I always felt they looked strangely familiar.

……

……

As for the player forum section, there are significantly more active users.

The moment you click to enter, a dense stream of new posts, popular posts, and pinned posts appears.

The page scrolls extremely fast, with dozens of new posts updated every second, making its activity level comparable to the top social media platforms on the entire internet.

In addition to the more than 1,000 players who had already registered, staff members of the Special Investigation Bureau and public officials across the country also registered.

With more people around, the replies under the paranormal posts are filled with jokes and casual chatter—the original eerie fear immediately vanishes.

[Help! Strange things are happening in my rural hometown! All the livestock have gone out of control! Warning: Multiple images ahead] (Officially verified - Real Phenomenon)

Urgent help needed from all experts!

I'm from a rural area in northern Jiangsu province. For the past two weeks, something strange has been happening in our village – all sorts of bizarre things are happening every day, it's terrifying!

At first, it was just a few poultry; the free-range chickens, ducks, and geese at home were nowhere to be seen.

The elderly family members heard strange noises in the yard that night. When they woke up in the morning, all that was left was a pile of duck feathers. They searched the entire village but couldn't find the body.

At first, the family thought it was stolen by a weasel or a stray cat, and didn't think much of it.

About a week ago, some families in the east end of the village started losing sheep, all of which were lambs that had just been born.

People in rural areas all know that newborn lambs are kept indoors to eat and sleep with people because they are afraid of them dying.

The lamb vanished into thin air the next day, and the window was completely intact, without any signs of damage. It was so eerie!

The scariest thing is my big white pig, a 200-pound pig that I've raised for almost a year. It's usually very docile, eats whatever I feed it, and never bites anyone.

My mom said that a month ago, our pig wouldn't eat anything and just lay in the corner of the pigpen all day.

[This pig went crazy yesterday afternoon, it crashed through the pigpen fence and bit off half of the neighbor's child's face!]

Below the post are three high-definition original photos, which are extremely visually striking.

The first picture is a real shot of the pigsty.

A large white pig weighing over 200 pounds lay in the corner, its white hair covered in grime and clumps.

The most bizarre thing is that its eyes are bloodshot and the whites of its eyes are completely black.

The second picture is likely a real shot of the wound on a child who was bitten. The wound is gruesome, with the skin and flesh turned outwards, revealing the bare white bone.

The third picture is a real shot of the sheep pen floor, with scattered bits of lamb wool and dried black blood.

The post went viral on the forum within just a few hours of being published.

……

What kind of pig can bite off a person's face? That's terrifying! How can I eat pork now?

It looks like a weasel, but the window was closed properly. How did the lamb get lost? Could it have been stolen?

[I don't think so. Listening to what the poster said, the whole village seems strange. Didn't they report it to the Special Investigation Bureau?]

[Just borrowing this thread, a new player who's only done one dungeon run is asking for help!]

[To the person upstairs, click to message me privately. The Gale Player Team is sponsored by the Lu Group and protected by mercenaries. Safety is absolutely guaranteed!]

[It seems the heir to the Lu Group died in the dungeon, right?]

You've gone off-topic; the pig is the real problem.

Anonymous player comment 1 (Gold Label Verified): [First of all, after reading your analysis, all I can say is: Run!]

Look at your pig, it went on a hunger strike a month ago and hasn't lost any weight yet, which already speaks volumes.

If you raise pigs, you should know that pigs will lose weight if they are not fed for two days—so guess what your pigs eat if they don't eat pig feed?

Furthermore, once an animal has consumed human blood, it cannot be kept alive. Normal grains and feed hold no appeal for it; it only craves the flesh and blood of living beings! OP, kill it immediately and dispose of it tonight; keeping it alive will surely lead to disaster!

Popular comment 2:

There have been a lot of strange things happening in the countryside of northern Jiangsu lately. Someone reported some unusual phenomena in the area just last week.

Fellow Daoist, quickly request the Special Investigation Bureau to handle this! This pig demon has been completely corrupted by Yin energy, becoming the lowest-level supernatural beast. If it stays any longer, it will become a demon and harm people! (doge emoji)

[My God, that's terrifying! Is the countryside really that dangerous now? Thank goodness I moved to the city a long time ago; I'll never dare go back to my hometown again!]

[Just kidding, the city is even more dangerous. Last week, there was a case of a haunted house where the buyer and his entire family of four died.]

Looking at the details in the photo, the pig's tusks have grown longer, and there is black blood residue at the corner of its mouth, indicating that it has definitely eaten some live creature!

OP, immediately report this to the Special Investigation Bureau! Don't try to fight them yourself! The mutated livestock are incredibly strong; ordinary people simply can't defeat them!

The author will continue to update (as of 07:05 today):

[Resolved! Thank you everyone! The Special Investigation Bureau's field team just responded to an emergency and killed the mutated white pig on the spot with riot control firearms!]

Everyone present was terrified when they pried open the pig's mouth. My God, my hands are still trembling.

It somehow grew three rows of complete human teeth in its mouth—human teeth!! It's so disgusting, everyone who saw it felt like throwing up (picture)

[That bastard! He even ate the lambs. The Special Investigation Bureau reconstructed the scene: he was perched on the window, opened it with his hooves, and then bleated like a sheep to lure the lambs over.]

[I was terrified.]

That's terrifying! That's terrifying!

I will never eat pork again.

Moreover, my dad dug up the pigsty and found a whole floor full of chicken and duck heads and lamb skeletons underneath.

It gnawed everything clean, leaving only the skull... This beast secretly caught ducks and chickens at night, and even pretended to starve itself, keeping it from us for half a month!

The entire village is now in a state of panic. Everyone has reported their whereabouts and is awaiting official investigation of the entire area!

[Help! Strange phenomena at the community's artificial lake; shadowy figures are frequently seen pulling at people late at night, suspected to be haunted by water ghosts] (Officially verified - Real Phenomenon)

[Located in a high-end residential community in Nanhe Province, with an artificial landscape lake in the center of the community.]

[Initially, residents who were taking evening walks frequently saw shadowy figures moving underwater in the lake, but initially thought it was their imagination.]

A resident drowned in the artificial lake a month ago.

Let me describe it to you: the deepest part of that scenic lake is only a little over a meter deep; it's the kind of lake where you definitely won't drown if you stand up.

The deceased homeowner was 1.9 meters tall; he drowned and was pulled from the water looking like a large frog. (Image)

[Then last month, a naughty child pooped in the scenic lake and drowned.]

Two weeks ago, a homeowner's pet Rottweiler drowned.

About seven days ago, another old man drowned while taking a walk.

……

[This is so weird, can you understand? The water was so shallow, it's one thing to drown, but the security guards couldn't have missed it during their patrol, there wasn't even a sound.]

……

……

The original poster's latest post: "Yesterday when I got home from get off work, I felt there was definitely something in the water, it was eerie."

Anyway, it's already been reported to the Special Investigation Bureau; let's wait for the results.

The comments were all saying "waiting for the conclusion".
