The fat man shook his head and said, "I'm telling you, there's this idiot author here who came up with this crappy title, something like 'Walking in the Mortal World and Obtaining a Dragon.' I've told you about it before. His books are good, but they're just too damn scary. What's the point of writing something so terrifying?"
Xu Fan was taken aback. He thought to himself, what's the point of a suspenseful tomb raiding novel if it's not thrilling? He put down his cup and said, "Pour your own water."
"Hey, hey, hey, can't you just pour me a glass?" The fat guy had no idea what was going on.
Xu Fan said with a smile, "My hand hurts."
The fat man was speechless, then muttered to himself, "But then again, the book is really good, and the updates are great too."
Xu Fan took the cup, poured some hot water, and handed it to him, saying, "I thought you were busy with something, but it turns out you're busy reading novels."
Zhao Feiyang took the cup and said, "Didn't your hand hurt?"
Xu Fan said, "It's healed again."
Zhao Feiyang was speechless, and then said, "I didn't look at it much, I just glanced at it briefly."
"I don't believe you."
Xu Fan chatted with Zhao Feiyang for a few minutes, and he felt it would be better to record at the apartment.
Even if the fat guy isn't here, it would be strange if he overheard us.
Just then, the fat man suddenly looked up at Xu Fan and asked with some doubt, "Hey Lao Xu, you wouldn't happen to be the 'Dragon Walking in the Mortal World,' would you?"
Xu Fan said with a smile, "I am a god walking among mortals."
The fat man chuckled and said, "I knew it! How could you possibly write a novel like this?"
The fat man ignored Xu Fan, who took a couple of sips of water and then prepared to leave for his apartment.
But just then, the fat man suddenly asked, "Where are you going?"
"go home."
As Xu Fan was about to leave, the fat man suddenly said, "Perfect timing. Could you do me a favor and mail this envelope? I'm a bit busy."
Xu Fan took the envelope and asked in confusion, "The person has been found."
Zhao Feiyang hummed in agreement and said, "I've confirmed it's correct. I'll send you the address via WeChat. You can mail it while you're at it."
Xu Fan shook his head helplessly, didn't think too much about it, and went downstairs with the envelope.
But at this time, there wasn't a single delivery tricycle downstairs.
Xu Fan shook his head, then took the envelope and prepared to mail it directly from the courier point. He decided to go to the apartment first.
Every time Xu Fan came to the apartment, his mood would involuntarily improve.
Complete relaxation, or rather, mental relaxation.
This is a place where you can sing quietly without having too many thoughts, and you don't have to worry about someone suddenly coming to find you.
After arriving at the apartment, Xu Fan first searched for some good songs in the horror music library, such as "Lost in the Forest", "Ju-on", and a melody called "Monastery of Rabida".
After listening to the music, Xu Fan couldn't help but shiver.
He was quite brave, but when he thought of the story of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" and listened to the music, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.
I hesitated slightly, wondering if I should have someone else read it?
But it was just a thought before he started recording.
A somewhat eerie and terrifying piece of music suddenly started playing. Xu Fan took a deep breath to make sure he could fully immerse himself in the feeling while reading.
Xu Fan acquired a terrifying voice with a selection of terrifying music. At the same time, his voice had also changed slightly, but Xu Fan did not notice it.
Boom!
A clap of thunder suddenly sounded in the music, and a terrifying atmosphere suddenly appeared. Xu Fan steadied himself and began to read.
As soon as the sound came out, Xu Fan noticed something different. His voice seemed to have an added, terrifying quality, quite different from his usual speaking voice.
Xu Fan then realized that, in addition to the music library, there was another way to adjust the voice for the scary sounds.
"Grave raiding isn't like hosting a dinner party, or writing an essay."
Xu Fan read with great enjoyment, as if he had long been accustomed to reading.
Although the accompanying eerie music amplified the terrifying atmosphere, he still managed to finish reading a chapter.
However, he swore he would never listen to it a second time.
Reading it was a bit nerve-wracking, let alone listening to it, even if he read it himself, he didn't think he could remain calm after listening to it a second time.
Of course, those who are truly very brave are another matter.
Xu Fan didn't stop. Now that he had started reading, he would naturally read as much as he could, since he already owned the entire book.
However, it's unrealistic to read all two million words, so Xu Fan's idea was quite simple.
I read the first volume, "The Ancient City of Jingjue," myself, including the plot of the Weasel Grave, and left the rest to Xiao Gu and his team of narrators and editors.
When the time comes, as long as they study more and master the rhythm of reading and the timing of the background music, there shouldn't be any major problems.
With that in mind, Xu Fan continued reading.
A few hours later, Xu Fan stretched and yawned. He had already read over 100,000 words. He took a sip of water and checked the time, finding that it was already 6:30 pm.
So he decided to read a little longer.
Immersed in the story, he carefully read through each plot point and observed where to play the music. Although Xu Fan hadn't experienced it beforehand, he had to admit that his subconscious grasp of the music and the current scene was as if he had practiced it countless times before.
Before we knew it, night had fallen.
Apart from occasionally drinking water to soothe his throat, Xu Fan had not rested at all.
It wasn't until 10 p.m. that he finally finished reading the entire first volume, "The Ancient City of Jingjue." He didn't listen to it again; after thinking for a moment, he sent the entire audio of the first volume to his editor, Xiao Gu.
Since the first volume of the novel had already been fully updated, Xu Fan wasn't worried about any leaks.
In addition, Xu Fan did this for another reason: he was eager to complete the mission as soon as possible.
Xiao Gu had already finished get off work and was at home alone, holding a handful of rice and putting it into a bowl one grain at a time.
"Keep watching, I won't watch tonight. Keep watching, I won't watch tonight."
Yes, she was using metaphysics, something that seemed like fate, to consider whether she should wait until midnight to finish reading "Ghost Blows Out the Light" before going to bed.
She really wanted to read it, but she felt terrified to read novels at night.
So, while counting whether to read it or not, I cursed in my heart: "Stupid dragon, stupid dragon, why does my friend have to send me a message at night? It's so annoying."
Just then, the phone rang.
He stared at Xu Fan's phone, slightly lost in thought, wondering if his scolding had worked and that he was calling to ask for leave instead of updating tonight.
How can this be? How can we not update?
She answered the phone while thinking about these things.
Looking back, she always says, "If I had known it was so scary, I would never have answered that call that night."

===Chapter 293 For the Alliance Leader===
After hanging up Xu Fan's call, Xiao Gu turned on the recording.
A simple deo melody appeared, and Xiao Gu felt that the music was somewhat calm. At first listen, she didn't think anything of it.
However, as the melody grew louder and gradually drew her into a serious state,
With a loud boom, thunder suddenly rang out.
Xiao Gu was so startled that she almost dropped her phone. Fortunately, after reading the novel for so long, she mustered up the courage to continue listening, and then she heard Xu Fan's voice begin to speak.
The background music changed from time to time, and for some reason, Xiao Gu felt that Xu Fan's reading was indeed better than that of their professional broadcasters.
Just as he was feeling this way, Xu Fan had already read the location of the Weasel Grave.
The text itself was already giving Xiao Gu a chill, but the audio with background music made her even more nervous.
"He made a paper woman for Hu Guohua as requested, and then used watercolors to paint eyebrows, eyes, nose, clothes and hair on the paper woman. From a distance, hey, it really looked like a living person."
Just then, the curtain to the inner room was lifted, and a woman came out. She was fair-skinned, with a large face, a big bottom, and small feet. Hu Guohua's heart skipped a beat. "Oh my, isn't this the paper doll I had someone make? How did it come to life?"
The background music suddenly changed, and Xiao Gu was so startled that she threw her phone onto the bed. She glanced at the window; the curtains were drawn tightly, but she was still a little scared.
The voice on the phone was still reading aloud, and Xu Fan's voice and background music were still slowly playing.
Xu Fan's voice was sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes cold, sometimes warm.
He pronounced each sentence with great sincerity, sometimes wavering, sometimes righteous and righteous.
Suddenly, a sound came from the phone. When the melody started playing, Xiao Gu listened for only a short while before quickly picking up the phone and turning off the audio.
Because she was so frightened that she didn't know what to say.
She didn't know what kind of music that melody was, but Xu Fan knew that it was "Lost in the Forest".
When this melody plays, it creates an immersive feeling, especially since it happens to be the scene in the novel where the protagonist is digging up a grave. The feeling is indescribably exhilarating.
She silently closed her phone, preparing to discuss the release date with the editor-in-chief the next day.
She didn't dare to listen anymore, but she knew she had to listen eventually.
This time, she couldn't help but endure it, because it was too terrifying.
She plans to listen again tomorrow.
However, she didn't sleep a wink that night because her mind was filled not only with images but also with terrifying audio recordings.
The next day, after getting up, Xiao Gu dragged her tired body, quickly washed up, and returned to the company.
Compared to others, Xiao Gu seemed to be in a worse state today, but she managed to muster some energy and went to find the editor-in-chief to talk about the matter.
After the editor-in-chief left behind a recording, many people in the editorial department knew that the audio version of the novel "Ghost Blows Out the Light" was about to be released.
Meanwhile, the planning and design departments at Qidian also began to get busy.
After discussion, the scheduled release time for the novel was also set for midnight.
This might siphon off a large portion of ebook readers, but they all know that it's just a different way of reading. In reality, most people will still choose the digital version in the end, simply because audiobooks are just too terrible.
Xu Fan also received a notification from Xiao Gu, and he said he would definitely keep an eye on the news.
In fact, he himself was also looking forward to whether the audiobook "Ghost Blows Out the Light" would eventually achieve some success.
