Chapter 1694 New Target (This time Wushuang is not bad)


    Ruins adventure.


    Duanmuhuai had also seen some similar videos before traveling. To put it simply, due to various urbanization reasons, abandoned buildings and unfinished buildings have appeared in many places. They are gradually forgotten, and some streamers will explore these places, but...


    "Forget it, there''s nothing to explore in this kind of place."


    Duanmuhuai actually felt that Banajian should give up this idea.


    "It wouldn''t be any fun if you came across a dead body while walking around in there."


    "Corpse, corpse!?"


    Sure enough, when he heard this word, Nanami jumped up immediately.


    "Yes, this kind of ruins are usually deserted, so occasionally people will choose to hang themselves in such places, or they may be killed and hide their bodies there. You don''t want to see it when you turn a corner while walking. A hanged man is staring right at you."


    Duanmu Huai was not being alarmist. Before he traveled through time, he had actually seen several video clips of the anchor exploring the ruins and then running away in fright when he encountered a corpse.


    The probability is about the same as that of a fisherman fishing for corpses at night...


    "Ugh... then forget it..."


    Sure enough, after hearing what Duanmu Huai said, Yanami immediately gave up his idea, and Chitanda next to him shook his head repeatedly. She originally didn''t like hearing stories about dead people. If she saw a dead person in person, she would probably faint.


    "Ah! If this is the case, won''t our magazine be able to publish this issue? I don''t want it!"


    Perhaps because the power of the dessert was exhausted, Banajian once again leaned on the table. Duanmuhuai understood why Banajian was so disappointed.


    The two previous issues of the magazine published by the Classics Department were both very popular. The literature and food special issues published by the Classics Department during the cultural festival were well received by students and parents. Afterwards, the second issue of Food and Weird Stories was printed and distributed with 500 copies, and all of them were sold out. Hanami also said that students in the general department often ask her when the third issue of the journal will be published. No wonder she is so anxious.


    By the way, Duanmu Huai also saw some performing arts students reading journals, but with his reputation there, they didn''t dare to come forward to pester him.


    It''s positive feedback, everyone likes it, and Hanami naturally hopes to do better and better. At first, she was just fishing in the Classical Club and eating snacks, but now she has begun to actively think about participating in club activities.


    "We have also gone to many places to take photos and conduct surveys before. Those are enough."


    Although Banai was dissatisfied, Duanmu Huai had gone with them to explore many places like haunted houses and took some photos. After all, they are a classical literature journal, and their theme is only to verify the connection between ghost stories and the haunted house itself. It is not the kind of supernatural magazine that insists on photographing evil spirits to interact with each other - if the latter Duanmu Huai directly captures a cursed spirit, let them Just take enough photos.


    "But I always feel that one thing is missing... How should I put it? It''s like eating hamburger set as dessert and then eating ramen as the main dish. Yes, the main dish! Now these are just desserts before the meal! I feel that it still lacks shock value !”


    Only if you take the hamburger set as a pre-dinner dessert.


    Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes, feeling full just hearing Banai say that.


    Although this metaphor is outrageous, the meaning is very clear.


    "I think so too."


    Chitanda also nodded.


    "Like Xingcai said, the current information is indeed enough, but... lacks a final theme, the connection between ghost stories, haunted houses and literature. We need a material that can verify the theme..."


    "Um………"


    Duanmuhuai had no idea about this, but it didn''t matter.


    "Wait until I find someone who has some ideas for you to ask."


    The person with ideas Duanmu Huai mentioned is naturally...Director Qing Shui.


    "Hahaha, a haunted house? Are you the Classical Literature Department? Or the Supernatural Department?"


    "As long as it has something to do with literature."


    Duanmuhuai snorted after hearing Director Qingshui''s complaints.


    "So? Do you have any good suggestions?"


    "The literary nature of ghost stories in haunted houses? This is indeed a bit difficult, but...I really thought of a related concept."


    Having said this, Director Shimizu laughed.


    "Have you heard of AFOF?"


    "What the hell?"


    "AFRIENDOFFRIEND. Friend of a friend, don''t you see that many ghost stories start like this? This is what my friend''s friend has experienced..."


    "Oh, indeed."


    Many of the supernatural TV and variety shows that Duanmu Huai watches are adapted from letters from viewers. Indeed, most of them will say at the beginning, "This is what my friend has experienced" or "This is what my friend''s friend has experienced." thing".


    but………


    "Isn''t this just making friends out of nothing?"


    The so-called friend you are talking about is best not yourself, everyone has long been used to it.


    "But for storytelling, this is very important. You see, if you want to tell a story, if you start with a long time ago, no one will find it scary, right? After all, they are all stories from a long time ago. But If you say this is what happened to my friend’s friend, then even if everyone knows that the friend you are talking about probably does not exist, they will also know that it is happening now, and they will have a better sense of belonging.”


    "If you say that, it makes sense."


    Duanmuhuai nodded. "This is a topic studied by foreign popologists, AFOF, friends of friends, word of mouth, through this kind of beginning to enhance the sense of substitution and authenticity. I see that many of the strange stories you submitted before are like this Well, if we plan it from this perspective, it may be more distinctive. Moreover, although we are shooting horror movies, most of the time, the stories themselves are not actually scary, but are just artificially added with artistry and literature to make them watchable. It sounds scary, and so is the ghost story.”


    "I understand. Thanks for the advice. How about the movie?"


    "Everything is going well. It''s mainly post-production now, and I don''t need to worry about things like publicity and distribution. Frankly speaking, I''m still a little nervous. After all, this is a big production, and it will be released simultaneously around the world..."


    "The box office shouldn''t be bad."


    Duanmuhuai still has confidence in director Qingshui''s ability, and as far as he is concerned - this movie must not fail.


    After all, it is really about the fate of the world.


    After a few more pleasantries, Duanmu Huai hung up the phone, and then conveyed Director Shimizu''s suggestions to Yanami and Chitanda.


    "I see!"


    After eating, Bana''s mind was racing. She quickly came back to her senses and slapped the table hard.


    "We fell into a misunderstanding before!"


    There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!


    "Misunderstanding?"


    "That''s right, we all go to those haunted houses to look for ghosts, but if you think about it carefully, how can ghosts exist? You definitely can''t find them from this angle, but these rumors must have original stories. Ah! We can choose a topic about a haunted house, and then find out the truth from this strange story! "


    Yana said as they met, looking at the two of them with a smile.


    "How about it?"


    "You mean solving crimes like a detective?"


    "That''s right!"


    Yana pointed proudly at the information at hand.


    "You see, the haunted houses we collected before didn''t always say that the people in this house were all killed because of evil spirits or curses. At that time, we just regarded this as the background of the story, but if we think about it carefully Think about it, is this statement correct? Did the people in this house move away? Or is it really dead? If we can create such an investigation, it will be enough for this issue. The central theme!”


    "I''m curious!"


    After hearing Yanami''s proposal, Chitanda''s eyes lit up. It seemed that Yanami''s proposal was indeed to her liking.


    "It seems to be quite interesting to solve the case."


    Duanmu Huai didn''t object. It''s not like he had never been a detective before, and it was indeed more interesting than simply going to a haunted house to try to find ghosts.


    "How about this?"


    Seeing that, Yana did what he said and quickly opened his phone to search.


    "Rumors about Inugami Village! I heard that people in this village mysteriously disappeared overnight, and their whereabouts are unknown! It''s a very popular topic on the Internet recently!"


    "…………Let’s change it to another one."


    "Huh? Why? Isn''t this interesting?"


    "I don''t think there''s anything to investigate."


    After all, the culprit is standing here. Should Duanmu Huai surrender?


    "Yes, Xingcai."


    Chitanda also advised from the side.


    "It''s impossible for everyone in a village to disappear or something like that. They must have moved away, or it could just be random rumors."


    "Huh? But I see that many people on this post claim that they can''t contact their family and friends in Inugami Village..."


    "Online, there are many people having fun and they like to join in the fun. Who knows if it''s true or not."


    Duanmu Huai could only say this. It seems that although the magic world controls the media, it cannot control the Internet. However, everyone will only watch such baseless rumors as amusement. Chitanda doesn''t believe it, so that''s fine...well...it would be troublesome if he believed it.


    "Then this!"


    Yanami directly changed the target.


    "The mysterious mansion in N city. I heard that mysterious deaths occurred there. It was later abandoned and everyone who went there to explore disappeared! Ah... but N city is relatively far away..."


    "That''s no problem, I''ll drive you there."


    "Why?"


    Hearing Duanmu Huai''s words, both of them were stunned.


    "Xiao Ai, can you drive? You''re not old enough to get a driver''s license, right?"


    "hehe."


    Looking at the stunned two people, Duanmu Huai chuckled.


    "You will know then."


    Then, he spoke.
