Chapter 1414 wasn't so smooth; the bizarre scene of the death.
After the officers left, Chen Mu turned to look at Tian Shihan and the other person.
"It's getting late, everyone should go back and rest."
Chen Mu led the two back to the villa.
After resolving the "submersible" issue, Chen Mu thought about his own tasks and realized he had nothing else to do.
Having finished his official duties, he also got the "submersible" that Tian Shih-han had asked him to prepare ready.
Right now, I truly feel "free and unburdened".
I can enjoy myself while I wait to inspect the spaceship in space tomorrow morning, and then experience the eerie scene of going into space.
Chen Mu took a hot shower and enjoyed a scrubbing session with Xu Yueji.
Then, Chen Mu put on a bathrobe and lay down on the warm and comfortable bed.
It's already midnight, but Chen Mu is still in good spirits.
This feeling of being alright—at least temporarily—made Chen Mu very comfortable, and he even hummed a little tune.
Chen Mu picked up his phone, wanting to browse the forums for a while.
As soon as Chen Mu entered the forum, he saw a rather peculiar title on the trending topics.
What a tragic couple!
"What the hell?"
Out of curiosity, Chen Mu clicked on it.
Oh, it's a discussion about a novel. Judging from the comments, it's a newly updated novel, and it seems to be quite popular.
In the comments, someone thoughtfully provided the address of Wangjiang Shouwang Library, indicating the source of the novel.
Upon seeing this, Chen Mu immediately realized that this was the online novel he had commissioned from a web novel author to create for Tian Shihhan.
Out of curiosity, he clicked on the link and arrived at the library's official website.
Sure enough, more than a dozen new CEO romance novels were added to the official website's homepage.
There wasn't a single one this morning.
Chen Mu couldn't help but give Xu Yueji a thumbs up.
As expected, Princess Xuyue's analysis was correct!
These online novel writers just love to procrastinate. They won't submit their work until the very last minute.
Chen Mu checked the release time, and wow! It really was released right on time, almost always after 11 p.m.
There were even two books that, just as Xu Yueji said, were released at exactly 11:59.
"To drag this out to this point, I guess his procrastination is hopeless," Chen Mu muttered to himself.
He opened the novels one by one, ready to check their quality.
No matter what, this was custom-made for Shihan at my own expense.
Check if the novel has a bad ending or is filled with filler content. If there are problems, would they dare to leave it unfinished under Mr. Chen's nose?
Chen Mu had no choice but to vent his anger on behalf of the indignant readers in the forum.
Fortunately, these novelists, despite their procrastination, still produced decent writing.
No wonder it gained such popularity on the forum as soon as it was released.
Several trending topics on the forum right now are related to these novels.
As Chen Mu was flipping through the pages, he suddenly stopped on one of the novels.
He dragged himself to the last chapter and checked it twice.
Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at the projection of Xu Yue Ji beside him.
"What's going on with this book?" Chen Mu asked, somewhat incredulous.
"What's wrong, Mr. Chen? Did it have a bad ending or kill off the main character?" Xu Yueji asked.
"No, even a bad ending should at least have an ending. This book... it was completely abandoned. The story was only half written, and then it just ended!"
Chen Mu couldn't quite understand how online novel authors who took on his projects would dare to abandon them.
"Mr. Chen, please wait a moment while I check." Xu Yueji checked.
A few seconds later, Princess Xuyue said with certainty:
"Mr. Chen, based on my judgment, this book has not been abandoned."
"But it's not written anymore."
"It's not that it wasn't written. You can see that the last upload time was 11:59. I checked several versions of it, and at 12:10, 12:21, and other time periods, the book had a section of the story added later."
Xu Yueji concluded, "Therefore, my reasonable guess is that because it was delayed until the very end, the author simply didn't have enough time. So he uploaded a portion first, and is now frantically working on the final draft."
If I'm not mistaken, he should finish writing the rest by tomorrow at the latest.
Chen Mu's eyes widened. He had thought that those who submitted their manuscripts right on time were already incredibly lucky.
I never expected that something so incredible would happen at the very end.
"Is this considered procrastination?" Chen Mu asked.
“Hmm… According to my analysis, this is already a late stage of procrastination,” said Xu Yue Ji.
Chen Mu glanced at the forum, and sure enough, many readers had also noticed this situation.
However, it's reassuring to see that readers today are very forgiving. In the comments section of this novel, there were even kind and warm-hearted male readers who expressed their best wishes to the author:
Wow! It even has this kind of choppy, staccato delivery! When this author was born, his mother probably did the same thing, taking a whole day to deliver him, otherwise she wouldn't have done something like this.
Not so smooth
That's incredibly admirable, showing great determination despite physical disability.
No wonder, it's understandable.
Chen Mu browsed through the forum and found that, overall, these dozen or so new novels were well-received by readers.
Especially after the bizarre apocalypse, with the recovery of the entertainment industry, such as games and movies, online novels have been slow to recover.
Chen Mu's move, through the Wangjiang Shouwang Library, to publish online novels, has inspired many authors.
It's estimated that before long, a new batch of online novels will appear on Wangjiang Shouwang's website.
Tian Shih-han, who enjoys reading CEO romance novels, is truly fortunate.
Chen Mu could easily imagine that Tian Shihan was currently lying in bed, staying up all night to read the latest novel.
Chen Mu suddenly realized that the IP address in the forum comment that was "not so smooth" seemed to be located within the boundaries of his villa.
As far as Chen Mu knew, Cha Cha and Xiao Xi, the people in the villa, didn't read novels much.
Besides, among serious novel enthusiasts, there's only one person left who would browse this forum and participate in discussions.
Could it be that the person who posted this comment was Tian Shih-han, who was sleeping in the guest room downstairs?
Chen Mu never expected that Sister Tian, who appeared quiet and dignified on the surface, would have such a sharp tongue behind the scenes.
"And it even has a contrast?"
Chen Mu was somewhat surprised; it seemed he had discovered some of Shi Han's secrets.
This young girl, who started out as an "ice queen," was gradually discovered by Chen Mu to have a different side.
Wait a minute... she seems to have always been quite contrasting. Ever since she started reading domineering CEO novels, no, it should be said that ever since she learned about reincarnation and death, it's been quite contrasting.
It has to be said that Tian Shihhan clearly really likes this novel. The sporadic, constipated updates are really getting to her.
"Hopefully, that unlucky guy rushing to finish his manuscript won't get beaten up by Shihan late at night."
Chen Mu prayed silently in his heart. People say that hitting someone through an internet connection is probably impossible.
However, for Tian Shih-han, it is entirely possible that she could use her innate strange energy to find the author and secretly beat him up.
Chen Mu sighed for that guy and wished him good luck.
He put down his phone and drifted off to sleep.
Meanwhile, just as Chen Mu had predicted, Tian Shihhan was fuming in the guest room downstairs.
She would pick up her phone every now and then and refresh it to see if the book had been updated.
Unbeknownst to her, Tian Shihhan suddenly discovered—
Someone turned on the light!
Who entered my room so quietly?
Tian Shih-han was startled and quickly looked towards the door.
The door was tightly closed, and no one came in.
She looked out the window again; oh, it was dawn.
A false alarm.
Wait... is it dawn?
Time flies!
Tian Shihhan was shocked. She had only been scrolling through her phone for a while and read two pages of a novel.
Before I knew it, an entire night had passed.
This is the first time in many years that I've stayed up all night.
When was the last time she stayed up all night? Tian Shih-Han couldn't remember.
Upstairs, Chen Mu took a short nap.
He didn't get out of bed until 8:30 in the morning.
After stretching comfortably, Chen Mu brushed his teeth, washed his face, tidied himself up, and walked down the stairs with renewed energy.
Xu Yueji had thoughtfully prepared breakfast for Chen Mu.
As soon as Chen Mu woke up, Xu Yueji timed it perfectly and began preparing breakfast for him.
By the time Chen Mu finished his routine, Xu Yueji's breakfast had just been prepared.
This freshly made breakfast is still steaming hot.
One hot dish is as delicious as three fresh ones, making it exceptionally satisfying to eat.
At this time, Cha Cha, Xiao Xi, and Tian Shi Han had not yet gotten up.
Chen Mu didn't tell them about his plans to leave today. So the two children were unaware and thought they were sleeping soundly until nine or ten o'clock as usual.
Chen Mu smiled knowingly and didn't disturb them.
He glanced again in the direction of the guest room; the door was tightly shut. So, Chief Tian, secretly, also liked to sleep in; he hadn't gotten up yet.
I bet you stayed up until two or three in the morning reading a novel last night.
Chen Mu was quite satisfied with her arrangements. Having over a dozen online authors create novels specifically for her seemed to suit her taste perfectly.
However, Chen Mu did not expect that Tian Shihhan was even more extraordinary than he had imagined.
They're already awake, but whether they slept last night or not, let's not ask. It would be impolite to ask again.
Chen Mu ate breakfast alone, feeling a bit bored.
He had intended to browse his phone for a while, but having not used it much in a long time, he had lost the habit of carrying it with him, and had left it on the bed.
So Chen Mu directly asked Xu Yueji, "Xiao Yue, is there anything you need to report to me? Or, Wangjiang Shouwang, is there anything new?"
Xu Yueji replied, "Boss Chen, there is indeed something. It's not that urgent, it's intelligence that was sent last night."
I originally planned to report to you after you finished your meal, so as not to disturb your dining.
This information was sent from the rocket launch center at around 4 a.m. this morning.
All the spaceships had entered space, but something strange happened to one of them at 3:55 AM.
"Oh? What's strange?"
Chen Mu was a little curious. He put down the bowl of white porridge he had just taken a sip of and looked at Xu Yueji.
Xu Yueji said, "According to the intelligence that was sent back, the spaceship was sailing normally and the crew members were all performing their duties."
However, at 3:50 a.m., a crew member claimed that they seemed to have entered a cemetery buried in the forest.
This was certainly unusual, and Shen Hanmeng and her team took it very seriously, requiring a report on the situation every minute.
Chen Mu nodded slightly. Space was pitch black, and nothing was unexpected in this area.
"And then?" Chen Mu asked.
"After that, every minute, the crew reported to the launch center. Three minutes later, another crew member claimed that a moss-covered cemetery had appeared in front of him."
Two minutes later, at 3:55 a.m., the final anomaly occurred.
The high-speed spaceship suddenly began to decelerate rapidly, as if it had been embedded in a sponge.
In less than 10 seconds, it came to a complete stop.
Logically speaking, with such a rapid braking, the crew members would be thrown out due to inertia.
But the entire spaceship seemed to have been paused. Not only the spaceship itself, but also the people and objects on board, all stopped at the same time.
The crew members on the spaceship all reported that they were in a dark forest, surrounded by tombstones covered in moss.
Hearing such a bizarre story, Chen Mu was also somewhat surprised. Could there be some powerful being in this space?
Xu Yueji continued, "Faced with this situation, the launch center immediately contacted the Trial Bureau and activated the response plan."
In this space exploration mission, the Lord of Terror is the Special Operations Executive Officer, responsible for handling emergencies.
Moreover, he is also a master of the uncanny, capable of traversing space.
After contacting the Lord of the Nightwalkers and receiving his consent, he led two Ghost Kings to the scene of the incident.
At five o'clock in the morning, the Lord of Terror arrived at the location.
He reported that he looked into the spaceship and there was no one inside.
All the crew members on board the spaceship have gone missing.
The Lord of Terror decided to take two Ghost Kings in to investigate the situation.
Upon entering, according to the Lord of Terror, as soon as he stepped into the spaceship, he found that the area in front of him had suddenly transformed into a forest and a graveyard.
At the same time, he also discovered the missing crew members from the spaceship.
Next, they conducted tests.
After leaving the spaceship, one can return to space and reappear. However, from the perspective of those outside the spaceship, the figure suddenly disappears and enters the abandoned graveyard forest.
Later, one of the crew members, a survivor, proposed a hypothesis—
The forest cemetery scene is very much like an eerie scene, a small, independent scene that exists independently of the real world.
However, once inside the eerie scene, players are bound by rules. They cannot leave the eerie scene before completing the level.
However, this forest cemetery can be entered at will.
Therefore, he guessed—this was a dead… eerie scene.
