The room was very quiet.
There is only the sound of keyboard tapping, crisp and regular, like never-ending raindrops.
Lin Mo nestled in the gaming chair, his whole body sinking in. The light from the screen reflected a cold white on his face.
This is his world.
A world of absolute safety and absolute tranquility composed of code and audio tracks.
He could stay here his whole life.
Real.
On the screen, an ID named "Morpheus" had just uploaded his latest work - "Deep Sea Whale Fall" in an extremely niche sound effects forum.
There have been sporadic but enthusiastic responses in the comments section.
"The boss has released a new work again! The sound this time has a sense of story!"
"It's amazing, I seem to really hear the loneliness of life sinking into the ten thousand meters deep sea."
Lin Mo was very satisfied.
This feeling of being recognized by a distant stranger is just right, not burning or cold.
Sudden.
There was a burst of noise in the living room, like a basin of boiling water suddenly splashing into his peaceful world.
Lin Mo's body froze instantly.
My heart skipped a beat.
Coming.
"Misfortune" has arrived.
He could clearly distinguish the ingredients: his mother's loud voice, his aunt's trademark laugh, and his uncle's always-pointing tone.
The whole family is here.
There was a smell of his worst fears in the air.
A breath of transformation called "for your own good" that is so passionate that it is suffocating.
