Synopsis

The hearse with the weird odor slowed to a stop before the entrance. The sound of pebbles could be heard bouncing on the ceiling. There were footsteps coming from the corridor, and there seemed to be someone sawing next door. The door knob to the room rattled slightly, and the faucet in the bathroom kept dripping even though it had been screwed shut. There was a rubber ball that rolled on its own underneath the bed. Wet footsteps started to surface one after another on the floor. At 3 am, Chen Ge held a cleaver in his hand as he hid beside the room heater. The call he was trying to make was finally answered. "Landlord, is this what you meant by 'the house can be a little crowded at night'‽"

Horror Game Developer: My games aren't that scary!

[Horror Game Developer : My games really aren't that scary!] I hate horror.

Horror-Spieleentwickler: Meine Spiele sind nicht so gruselig!

[Horror-Spieleentwickler: Meine Spiele sind wirklich nicht so gruselig!] Ich hasse Horror. Von den huschenden Geräuschen von Schritten, die hinter mir herjagen, bis zu den leisen, aber beunruhigend kalten Flüstern, die sich um meine Ohren winden... All das. Ich hasse es. So sehr, dass ich anfange zu kotzen, wenn ich eine bestimmte Schwelle erreiche. Und trotzdem bin ich ein Horror-Spieleentwickler. Ein miserabler noch dazu. Also habe ich beschlossen, aufzuhören, angesichts meiner mangelnden Fähigkeiten. Und doch... [Glückwunsch, Sie wurden für das Horror-Spielentwicklungssystem ausgewählt!] Nein, ich will es nicht. Lass mich aufhören. ※ Hinweis: Ihre Welt könnte einige Veränderungen erfahren. Aber keine Sorge! Es ist Teil des Spiels! *** Dies ist eine Geschichte über einen Spieleentwickler, der Horror hasst, aber keine andere Wahl hat, als Spiele zu entwickeln, die gruselig genug sind, um Menschen zu traumatisieren. Sie wollen mich verfluchen, weil ich Sie dazu gebracht habe, sich in die Hose zu machen? Wenn das der Fall ist, wen verfluche ich dann? *** Eine von SCP inspirierte Geschichte mit ihrer eigenen Wendung!

Barrage: "What's wrong! 3000 points, what idiot would go there! She's a fraud!" Contestant: "Me me me! I want a reading, I want a reading!" "I was here first!" "Don't cut in line!" Barrage: "......"

One horror story is about a phishing scam. A company received an email that seemed to be from their IT department, asking employees to update their passwords through a link. Many clicked without thinking. It led to hackers stealing a lot of sensitive data. Another one was a scammer who called an elderly person, pretending to be their grandson in trouble and needing money immediately. The elderly person sent a large sum before realizing it was a fraud.

Phishing is very common. This is when scammers send emails or messages that look legitimate, tricking people into giving away passwords or clicking on malicious links. Another is pretexting, like when someone pretends to be from a certain organization to get information. For example, pretending to be from a bank to get account details.

There was a story where a young man pretended to be a tech journalist. He called a tech startup and convinced them to give him a sneak peek of their new product by saying he was writing an article for a major publication. He got in, took some pictures, and then left. When they found out he was a fake, they were both angry and amused at how easily they were tricked. Social engineering can be quite the devious art when used in such ways.

Well, there was this incident. A person went to an office building and pretended to be a delivery guy. He had a fake package and everything. He asked an employee if he could use their phone to call his boss as he 'forgot' his own. While using the phone, he managed to peek at some important documents on the desk. It's a funny example of how social engineering can be used to gain access or information through simple ruses.

Well, in an electrical engineering project for a large building, the wiring was installed incorrectly. When the building was powered on for the first time, all the electrical appliances started behaving erratically. Some were overheating, and others just shut down. It took weeks to trace back the problem as the wiring was complex. Also, there was a case where an electrical engineer miscalculated the load capacity for a new industrial facility. As a result, during the start - up process, the main power transformer overloaded and exploded, causing significant damage and halting production for months.
