Chapter 682 Perfect Work
Boom!
Lightning split the clouds and rain pounded against the glass.
A man with dark circles under his eyes stood in front of the window. He was biting his knuckles and frowning in thought.
"No, no...what is missing?"
The man is a game designer.
He is well-known in the industry and works exclusively for a large company. Many well-known game characters are designed by him.
Relying on these designs, the man becomes a winner in life. He has a beautiful girlfriend, caring parents, and sincere friends who have been his friends since childhood.
But even so, men have their own regrets.
Men feel that they lack a sufficiently 'great' work.
Therefore, when a client paid a large deposit and asked the man to design a 'perfect' character, the man agreed without hesitation.
For the first time, the man designed an original painting according to his idea of perfection, but the client rejected it after taking just one look at it.
Party A said that a perfect design should be three-dimensional.
The second time, the man took great pains to design a three-dimensional character, but when the client came to the studio to see it, he still refused.
Party A said that a perfect work should possess the beauty of both men and women, and should make everyone who sees it addicted to it.
For the third design, the man referred to the appearance and physical features of popular male and female stars and created a better work, but the client still felt that it was not satisfactory after seeing it.
Party A said that men’s designs were too monotonous and boring, lacking warmth. Good designs should be able to convey human emotions, such as love, friendship and family affection.
Party A's demands are so harsh that they can be considered unreasonable.
But for the sake of money and a sense of accomplishment in life, the man endured it and asked his girlfriend, friends and parents for help.
They all supported the man's work, so they came to the man's studio to help him provide inspiration to complete this perfect work.
Today was the client’s fourth visit, and the man excitedly introduced his work.
After reading it, Party A nodded with satisfaction.
"This design is quite good, but I still can't give it to you. This work has a perfect prototype, but it's still missing the most important thing."
Party A left, and the man stood at the window, thinking, what was missing from his work?
My mother came over with a cup of coffee and said gently, "You haven't been out for more than a month. If you continue to think hard at home, you may not get any results. Why don't you go out for a walk? Maybe you will get some inspiration."
The man nodded, picked up a hooded raincoat and a flashlight, and walked out the door.
It's still raining outside.
This humid air is much fresher than the air in the men's studio.
The cold rain hitting the man's raincoat activated his numb brain, making his thoughts smoother than ever before and his inspiration gushed out.
So the man hurriedly took out his cell phone and wanted to communicate with Party A again.
But when the phone screen lit up, the man began to tremble!
There is no Party A's phone number in the mobile phone at all. In the past month or so, there are only communication records asking relatives and friends for help. There is no Party A's friend in the "Juxin" software.
So, how did the man contact Party A during this period?
The man tried to think carefully, but he could not remember any information about Party A.
So the man rushed home in horror, leaned over to the computer, and played the studio's surveillance, starting from the first time the client came to his house.
This sight gave the man a chill. During the first meeting, the man sat on one side of the table, and on the other side there was only an original painting. The man carefully explained his design ideas to the original painting!
At the second meeting, the other side became a 30-centimeter-high handmade sculpture, and the man was still talking to himself.
When we met for the third time, things on the other side started to become terrifying!
Sitting opposite was a horrible weirdo, whose body was divided in the middle, with one half being a man and the other half being a woman. The two halves of the body were sewn together with exquisite craftsmanship, and the stitches were so fine that you couldn't tell they were sewn together unless you looked closely.
The studio's TV was broadcasting the disappearance of two popular and beautiful stars, a man and a woman. From the disclosed surveillance footage, it seemed that both of them were abducted by a man in a cloak.
The man's whole body was shaking, and he suddenly realized that the Party A might not have existed from the beginning. Every time he met with the Party A, he was actually talking about his own work!
If this is the case……
So, what about the fourth meeting?
The man trembled as he chose the time, and the surveillance footage showed the fourth meeting.
This time, opposite the man stood a deformed creature.
This thing is made up of six corpses. It looks evil and scary at first glance, but if you look closely, you can feel an indescribable beauty.
The thrill of love at first sight, the touching feeling of supporting each other, the deep love and longing for parents, the pure friendship without any other mixture...
Even though he was trembling, the man was still moved by the work.
"I remember, I did everything!"
At the beginning, he was a man. He called his parents, friends and lovers to his studio one by one, then brutally killed them in horror, washed and shaped their bodies, cut off the unnecessary parts, and integrated them into his works.
The surveillance footage continued to play, and the man saw that before he went out, he was not wearing a raincoat, and was not holding a flashlight, but a hooded cloak and a burning candle!
He was also the one who kidnapped male and female celebrities!
Everything in the surveillance video made the man tremble all over. In his memory, he was just concentrating on creating a perfect work, but completely ignored what he had done outside of the work!
This sudden mental shock made the man cover his head and wail.
Suddenly the man heard his mother's voice: "Don't be afraid, child, we know, it's not your fault."
The girlfriend hugged the man: "You are also a victim, I have forgiven you..."
The comfort from his parents and relatives brought the man's spirit, which was about to collapse, back on track. Although he had done something wrong, it was not his intention. He was bewitched by something and it could not be entirely blamed on him.
But just as the man calmed down, he felt cold and terrified again.
He thought of something.
If my parents, girlfriend and friends were all turned into that weird human sculpture, then who was the person who asked me to go out for a walk just now, and who is comforting me now?
They are all ghosts!
After a brief moment of shock, the man felt somewhat moved.
This means that even if he was killed by himself, his relatives and friends still loved him!
His mother asked him to go out for a walk, probably to help him get out of this strange state. Now she is trying to comfort him without holding any grudges.
This feeling made the man's eyes well up with tears, and his emotions were so complicated that it was difficult to express in words.
The man cried like a child.
His cries echoed in the studio.
Crying and crying.
The man suddenly opened his eyes, an idea flashed in his mind, he stood up abruptly, danced excitedly, and shouted while hugging the ghost of his girlfriend.
"I know, I know what's missing!"
“A perfect work requires a perfect soul!”
