I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

He Jiaoyang has had the ability to see ghosts since he was a child. He can see some unsightly things moving in the air. For example, if someone dies in a family, he can see that the family members are surrounded by black mist.

As he grew up, He Jiaoyang came into contact with the occult and began to use his special abilities to make a living.

He discovered that there were ways to eliminate the black mist, so he started working as an exorcist.

Over the years, he has made a name for himself in the underworld.

Among people in this line of work, most are charlatans who swindle and deceive; very few have genuine skills.

He Jiaoyang received an order from Jiangcheng and took the opportunity to investigate Lu Ban's matter.

A few days later, He Jiaoyang arrived in Jiangcheng. He first dealt with his own work, which involved the unexpected death of a wealthy boss's wife. The boss had been having nightmares and asked He Jiaoyang to exorcise the evil spirits.

The work was simple. He Jiaoyang used a traditional Chinese exorcism method this time. It's not that traditional Chinese methods are always effective. He usually depends on the boss's attitude. If the boss keeps asking for help from gods and Buddhas, he will use traditional Chinese methods. If the boss is being forced by his family to hire someone, he will use a more scientific method.

It’s pretty much the same anyway.

He Jiaoyang believes that ghosts cannot possibly harm people.

If it could harm people, then the people you killed would become ghosts and retaliate tenfold. Besides, most of the ghosts haunting you are family members, so why would family members harm you?

He Jiaoyang believes that her job is actually the same as that of a psychological counselor, which is to let people spend money to buy peace of mind.

After finishing his work, he immediately went to the office of Silent Media.

As soon as He Jiaoyang walked to the front desk, he heard a series of curses.

"I swear, jungler, please stop coming to the top lane. I die every time you do. I'm just feeding the enemy team all the way through my normal laning phase."

That was a girl's voice.

He Jiaoyang glanced at it.

I couldn't take my eyes off it immediately.

He saw that the short-haired girl, who looked like a middle school student, was surrounded by a huge and thick black mist. This black mist was far deeper than any he had ever seen before. To put it another way, even the dead didn't have such a mist.

And this girl was actually playing games while surrounded by black mist?

Is this the Ghost King?

No, that's not right, this is clearly a living person!

He Jiaoyang felt like he had encountered some serious trouble.

He intended to turn around and leave immediately, but the girl suddenly looked up.

"Hmm? You're here to fix the projector, right? Come inside, there's a sign over there for the projection room."

She glanced at He Jiaoyang and his black briefcase and said casually.

"No, uh..."

He Jiaoyang didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Aren't you one? Then you need to register when you visit. Oh, you write it yourself. I'm alive, the vanguard is going to be swiped."

The girl pointed to the electronic registration screen next to her.

"...Yes, I'm here to fix the machine."

He Jiaoyang suppressed his inner panic and decided to go in and find out what was going on.

He picked up his briefcase and walked towards the company.

Chapter 527 I've Entered the Loop

Silent Media's business model is different from other companies.

In a typical company, the reception area leads to the time clock, followed by employee workstations. Further in is the boss's office, which should have a wide view and a desk large enough to hide at least one secretary.

Then, the walls will definitely be covered with many posters promoting the company culture, photos of outstanding employees, and some awards they have received. In short, it will look very impressive and competitive.

But in He Jiaoyang's opinion, the office was too ordinary.

Aside from the regular workstations, there were no fancy offices; instead, there was only one screening room that was nicely decorated.

Do their bosses sit in ordinary workstations?

He Jiaoyang glanced around and saw that the employees were all in front of their computers, using various editing or post-production software that he didn't recognize, without even looking at him. He also couldn't find Lu Ban and didn't know where the director had gone.

However, He Jiaoyang noticed a series of footprints on the ground.

The footprints, like those of some small animal, stretched out into the interior.

"Do people here keep cats?"

He Jiaoyang squatted down and looked at the footprints. The cat might have stepped in coal dust, making it a bit dirty.

"What's wrong? The screening room is over there, and the equipment is there too."

A male employee glanced at He Jiaoyang and asked curiously.

"It's nothing, the cats you keep here are quite free."

He Jiaoyang stood up and smiled.

"We don't keep cats here."

The employee looked at He Jiaoyang suspiciously and replied.

He Jiaoyang's heart skipped a beat.

Upon closer inspection of the footprints, he discovered that they were not caused by coal dust, but rather by layers of thick black mist!

In other words, this was left by a ghost!

Dengdengdeng-

His heart started racing, and he looked at the employees again.

The employees were all focused on their work and were relatively clean, unlike the woman sitting at the front desk who seemed to have committed a grave sin.

These people are still in the dark; we need to remind them.

"Ahem, there might be some issues here, like air pollution or something. It would be best if you left work earlier."

He Jiaoyang reminded him.

"It's alright, the formaldehyde has all dissipated. We had a testing company come before, and there were no problems."

The employee looked at He Jiaoyang and then pointed to the screening room.

"The screening room is over there. Let's get it fixed quickly. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me. Or I can take you there to have a look?"

He stood up.

Helpless, He Jiaoyang could only follow behind him, heading towards the innermost screening room.

"My name is Bai Qiquan. You can ask me anything. Our projector broke down yesterday during the day. It only had a light on, but no picture was showing. I checked the bulbs and they were fine. I don't know what's wrong."

The employee was quite talkative, chatting all the way as we walked.

He Jiaoyang noticed that among their workstations, the black mist in front of one computer was the most severe, even more so than that of the Ghost King at the front desk, so he tentatively asked him about it.

"Is that Director Lu Ban's seat?"

"Yes, you have a good eye. That's Director Lu's seat, but he's not here most of the time."

Bai Qiquan replied, and he pushed open the door to the screening room.

The company's screening room uses the same equipment as a movie theater. It can be said that the picture quality and texture of the images shown in this screening room are exactly the same as what the audience sees in a movie theater.

Some students may ask, is there any difference between what you see on a computer screen and what you see in a movie theater?

The answer is yes.

There are color differences between different monitors. The same color will appear differently on monitors of different brands and price ranges. Sometimes, designers will even buy monitors of different brands to check the final effect. Cinema screens are even more different. The images that can be displayed in a completely dark environment with sufficient illumination and high resolution cannot be easily reproduced by ordinary monitors.

For example, some movies, in order to save money on cheap special effects, put most of the scenes at night. In the cinema, they are still watchable because of the high lighting, but they become a blurry mess when viewed on a computer screen with a lower quality screen.

He Jiaoyang definitely doesn't know how to repair projectors.

He looked at the employees in Lu Ban's company and felt that they were decent people who didn't seem like they were doing bad things. He Jiaoyang put down his suitcase, pretended to look at the projector, and asked questions as he watched.

"You guys are in frequent contact with actors, isn't that quite tiring?"

"No, we only handle post-production editing and compositing. Director Lu's filmmaking has nothing to do with us."

Bai Qiquan replied that he also couldn't understand what the craftsman was repairing, but it looked quite professional.

"It's okay? Aren't you going to the filming location?"

Hearing Bai Qiquan's answer, He Jiaoyang increasingly felt that this might be a shady company run by Lu Ban.

Lu Ban manipulates ghosts to make movies, then gives the footage to these employees to edit, and finally makes money from it. The ghost king at the front desk is the one who supervises these people!

They might even change the group of people after a while!

"No, we're not qualified."

Seeing that the craftsman had been busy chatting for so long without even taking apart the machine, Bai Qiquan asked.

"Master, do you need any tools? Or should I get them for you?"

He glanced at He Jiaoyang's briefcase.

"no, I'm fine."

He Jiaoyang immediately took the suitcase back. If this young man saw that his suitcase was full of crosses and peach wood swords, he would be kicked out immediately, and might even be captured and handed over to Lu Banlian.

He figured he didn't have the ability to fix the machine, and after taking a look, he could see that Lu Ban's side did indeed have signs of ghostly influence. He thought it best to run away as soon as possible, without anyone noticing.

Just then, He Jiaoyang suddenly saw a girl dressed in white standing in front of the screen in the screening room.

The girl was pale, dressed in white clothes similar to Hanfu, with thick black hair, and her eyes were completely black with no whites.

hum-

He Jiaoyang's heart tightened. He didn't foolishly ask Bai Qiquan if he had seen the girl, because He Jiaoyang could tell at a glance that this guy wasn't human!

This was the first time he had ever seen a ghost in the real sense!

In the blink of an eye, the girl was next to the projector. He Jiaoyang broke out in a cold sweat. He swallowed hard and noticed that the girl was staring straight at him, as if waiting for something.

He Jiaoyang's body stiffened, and he glanced at Bai Qiquan, who seemed completely unaffected.
