Have you ever been a celebrity? Why are you writing about entertainment?

Everyone says Yu Weiyin is cunning, but those in the know understand that being this cunning requires skill...

Horror music is actually more difficult to produce than other music genres; it requires a great deal of creativity and a keen understanding of the listener's psychology.

Other music genres just need to sound good, but horror music requires much more consideration.

If other types of music are meant to serve the masses, then horror music is meant to "play with," which requires creators to be well-versed in sound psychology.

Clearly, Yu Wei knows how to use dissonant intervals and difficult-to-identify sound sources to trigger the listener's instinctive fear response.

This move seems incredibly underhanded, but it actually requires skillful execution. If his music is even slightly subpar, he won't be able to achieve this effect.

Therefore, after the accident, the frightened netizens were still tearfully making accusations, while some industry insiders had already begun to study the incident.

It's no wonder that I didn't study it; once I did, I discovered that this piece of music was truly extraordinary.

Traditional horror music uses sudden loud notes and dissonant chords to create fright, but Yu Wei's piece does the opposite; its horror is pervasive.

"Ningyo no Kan" is not a work that startles you with a scare right from the start, but rather gradually amplifies the unease in the listener's heart.

There's even a dedicated psychologist who conducted a study on cherry blossoms. He had the subjects listen to the audio without warning, and 75% reported mild claustrophobia and a feeling of being watched.

Even more outrageous is that this piece of music has caused endless trouble...

Many horror songs are scary when you listen to them, but you forget them after you've listened to them. However, the negative impact of "Ningyo no Kan" lasts even longer.

Afterwards, he had the subjects listen to a relaxing major key melody, but their unease continued to increase.

A piece of horror music is like a virus; once you're infected, listening to other music will also affect you. Isn't that creepy?

Another point that catches the eye is the beauty of the song. Yes, it is beautiful, and this is precisely the most successful aspect of Yu Wei's piece.

Despite causing discomfort, more than half of the audience said they would be willing to listen again because, in addition to the horror, the work has a bizarre aesthetic integrity.

If you're feeling adventurous, you could use this piece as relaxation music, since its melody is generally soothing.

In addition to causing psychological harm, it's also addictive. This isn't music, it's ice...

Yu Wei's song was truly beyond their expectations. He had previously released two songs that disrupted the market, and they were already planning to punish him. But who knew that this guy would play by his own rules?

Popular songs can be restricted on a point-to-point basis, but how can this kind of monstrous thing be punished?

What surprised them even more was that before the popularity of "Ningyo no Kan" had died down, Yu Wei released another song a few days later.

This time he was much more open, choosing to post it during the day, which gave everyone some time to prepare.

The same applies domestically. While writing songs in his novel, Yu Wei once again reminded everyone not to listen to them. After the bloody lesson last time, surely everyone can't repeat the same mistake this time?
The answer is no. The only lesson history teaches us is that we never learn anything from history.

The last time netizens went to listen, it was because they didn't believe Yu Wei's music was scary. This time, they believed it but still went.

For no other reason than to take on the challenge.

The first time, they were like innocent players who had accidentally entered a mind-bending game, getting beaten to a pulp and crying their eyes out. But the second time, they would deliberately make themselves suffer.

It is precisely because Yu Wei's music has such a powerful aftertaste that they have an even greater need to take on the challenge. Doesn't that make them seem daring?
Many self-media outlets have even started filming music listening challenges, wearing heart rate monitors while listening to music and filming, which has generated a lot of buzz.

Surprisingly, both the Chinese and Japanese servers agree on this point – they disagree.

Last time everyone was frightened mainly because Yu Wei launched a sneak attack. This time, they won't be frightened by a direct confrontation.

What a joke, would I be afraid of him? Looking around, all that's happening online is a bunch of stubborn voices, but in reality, they're panicking like crazy. They've already prepared "Good Luck" in advance.

This time, Yu Wei chose "Never Forgive Me, Never Forget Me," music from Silent Hill, which is also a classic and a pinnacle of the themes of memory and repentance.

With nothing else to do, he decided to turn on a live stream to see how these internet celebrities planned to broadcast. As a result, he actually found an acquaintance among them.

Chen Chen, her nickname has changed. As Yu Wei's influence grows, she can no longer quite accept the prefix "mentor Yu Wei".

Using it again could easily backfire, but it's impossible not to ride the wave of popularity. She's now called "Deng Shi's nemesis," after all, she was eliminated by Deng Shi in the competition.

How dare they call themselves arch-rivals if they're separated by hundreds of thousands of votes?

Yu Wei smiled but didn't say anything, her attention fixed on the other person's revealing outfit and the heart rate monitor on her chest. She really knew how to use the internet.

"Good afternoon, everyone! Today is the agreed-upon fear music threshold challenge."

She waved the high-end noise-canceling headphones in her hand, blinked, and said, "Today we're going to listen to... uh, Yu Wei's experimental work, 'Never Forgive Me, Never Forget Me'."

She adjusted her headphones, deliberately leaned back in her gaming chair with an exaggeratedly relaxed posture, and clicked play.

Although she seemed relaxed, her heart rate didn't lie. Before she even started, her heart rate was already over 90, which clearly indicated that she was a little flustered.

When the first note fell, Chen Chen's smile froze for 0.3 seconds, and his heart rate instantly broke through the 100 mark.

That wasn't a horror sound effect in the usual sense, nor was it the ethereal and eerie atmosphere of "Ningyo no Kan".

It's a kind of... highly distorted sound, like the scraping of a steel needle against a roller before the spring of an old music box is about to snap completely.

The tinkling sounds carry a sharp, grating quality, and the melody itself even has a morbid, inverted nursery rhyme feel.

It's as if the warmest lullaby in my memory was thrown into a rusty washing machine, shredded, and then stitched back together.

This is a different style of horror from the previous work. The former is cognitive horror, like building a "haunted house" of sound outside the room, with an eerie atmosphere that makes people feel uneasy.

But this song is emotionally terrifying, deeply ingrained in memory, like an auditory version of the uncanny valley effect, inescapable.

The "mutation" of those familiar voices has a very strong impact; after all, it's not about ghosts or phantoms, it's more like a dream-core horror.

Those listening to this piece were stunned, not entirely from fright, but from astonishment. How could Yu Wei possibly innovate on such a supernatural subject?
One piece of horror music could be attributed to his talent, but two pieces, especially two pieces with completely different styles and focuses, can only mean that Yu Wei has a person living in the underworld.

Compared to the previous song, "Never Forgive Me, Never Forget Me" even has an artistic feel. It doesn't create new monsters, but rather reveals the monsters that already exist in the hearts of listeners.

Before listening to the song, they prepared for the worst, thinking that at worst they would just be scared by the music.

Unexpectedly, something even more outrageous happened. They weren't scared, but rather they were stunned. There are differences between different kinds of horror music, and Yu Wei had already mastered the art.

There are many scary pieces of music, but how many of them combine aesthetic appeal and artistic merit?
Yu Wei may have an innate talent for scheming, and coupled with his musical talent, he is truly unbeatable.

The perfect track for Yu Wei has appeared; he is truly the king of Yin music.

After listening to the music, Aya Yuki, who was far away in Sakura, immediately arranged for the novel's promotion.

She felt that Yu Wei was addicted.

If we don't publicize this soon, he'll really scare everyone to death. (End of Chapter)
