The "Lighthouse Evening News" newspaper office is now using a roller printing machine produced by "Northern Industries".

This big machine worth thousands of New Zealand dollars is the most expensive fixed asset in the newspaper office, and most of the transfer money Sean paid was because of this big guy.

The printing team leader and several of his assistants are old workers, and they can deal with some simple faults by themselves.

The young workers followed several masters towards the second floor of the machine, and Xiao En and others also followed.

On the second floor of the cast-iron corridor, the group leader pointed to the window above where the sunlight slanted in: "That's what was thrown in from there, it was dark, and I couldn't see it clearly..."

A few old workers beckoned the young people to get tools, and jumped on the machine themselves.

After receiving the things thrown by the young man, they used a crowbar to remove the ink-stained belt. The newspaper of the day that was just being printed was now smeared, like a newspaper published by a madhouse.

The exhaust fan blew up the uncontrolled newspapers, and the "Madman's Evening News" flew around in the basement, blocking the sunlight that slanted into the basement from time to time...

The belt was removed, and the team leader's faded blue overalls were dyed black. At this moment, he and another old man were using a large wrench to remove some fasteners.

The basement was extremely quiet, and everyone was waiting for the judgment of a few master craftsmen: if it was a minor fault, they could fix it themselves, and the evening paper could still be printed smoothly.

If it is a big trouble, and the manufacturer needs to come to repair it, then today's newspaper will be ruined...

For a newspaper that is advertising overwhelmingly, the loss of one day's suspension of publication is incalculable.

Knowing this, Chandler and the workers had extremely nervous expressions on their faces.

The printing team leader turned on the machine, and he bent down to observe carefully what was between the gears: "What the **** is this..."

He frowned and threw the wrench aside.

The team leader stuffed his hand into the machine, biting his cheek hard, like an aborigine digging out python eggs in a cave.

The bad premonition in Xiao En's heart rushed to the apex. He ignored the ink on the machine, jumped on the machine, and walked to the team leader in two or three steps.

The group leader panted and took out the things that were stuck in the machine, Sean's nose wrinkled instinctively.

The sunlight illuminated the thing, and there was an exclamation in the basement.

The thing held in the hands of the team leader is almost impossible to identify what it is as a whole, and can only barely see some parts clearly from the uncomfortable shape.

Black feathers, curled black claws.

After staring for a long time, people recognized that it seemed to be a raven,

The raven's body was covered in black ink, and it had been completely deformed by the machine.

It seems that it was not something thrown in by others, but a crazy bird that plunged into the machine...

Everyone present, including Norton, held their breath.

What Xiao En saw when he turned his head was tense faces, livid faces.

He knew that, in the eyes of the New Testament people, the raven was an ominous symbol.

And a raven of this size rushed directly into the machine through the window, got stuck between the gears, and stopped the machine. The ominous meaning of this was self-evident.

Fear echoed throughout the basement, and the superstitious printers began to look helplessly at each other.

"Can it be fixed?" Sean Dickinson's voice broke the dead silence - I don't know why, in this weird atmosphere, his voice was like a clear spring, washing away the rancid foam.

Throwing the deformed body of the raven onto the cast-iron corridor, the team leader hurriedly said: "It can be repaired—it can be done in half an hour."

The editor-in-chief Norton also came back to his senses, and his voice was like thunder: "Okay, okay, nothing unusual, let's all go back to our posts, today we have to print more than 30,000 newspapers..."

Under the urging of the president and editor-in-chief, the crowd began to disperse.

But both Norton and Sean could feel that although the raven was quickly cleaned up, it still remained in people's hearts.

The originally high-spirited atmosphere in the newspaper was mixed with a bit of uneasiness and suspicion because of this sudden incident.

Just don't make any mistakes...

Almost everyone has such an idea in their hearts.

Norton is naturally resistant to weird events, and he can quickly forget such illusory things.

However, when he was walking up the cast iron stairs, something suddenly flashed in his peripheral vision.

He saw that the deformed raven seemed to be standing on the head of some worker.

He was so frightened that he looked in a blink of an eye, only to find that it was a black cotton hat with a funny shape

Norton let out a long breath.

Seeing that the editor-in-chief following behind stopped, looking into the printing factory, Sean turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Norton came back to his senses, and while continuing to walk up, he replied, "It's okay."

Introspecting after that "notorious" incident occurred, in fact, Sean's approach was not imprudent.

Even though he thought it was just a coincidence that the raven crashed into the machine at the time, he still used his spiritual vision in an instant, checked the entire basement, and left after confirming that there was nothing unusual.

However, whether that inspection was comprehensive and in-depth enough is open to question.

The reason why a more detailed examination was not carried out was not that Mr. Dickinson acted frivolously out of complacency, but because, at the time, he was too preoccupied.

He will immediately communicate with a relatively large advertising agency to cooperate.

After he finished his job of recruiting personnel, he had to rush to the independent reporter's office to catch up on the manuscript...

The only loophole is that, as the head of a newspaper, Sean cannot concurrently serve as a qualified mystery explorer.

This also paved the way for the frightening incident ~lightnovelpub.net~ that happened under his nose, which made people feel helpless.

And it was this incident that made Sean Dickinson regret it later, so he made up his mind not to just concentrate on his career, but to always leave enough awareness to detect the prying eyes and threats from the mysterious side.

Sean asked himself countless times after the fact if he had even the slightest chance of stopping things from developing...

Although he knew that he was so busy with the evening paper that he had very few choices at the time, so the answer would always be no, but he still had a bitter heart.

It was only because of the momentary negligence that was understandable but difficult to evade, which directly led to the tragic death of a young man in the newspaper office.

And that death was like a **** key, which finally opened up another story involving mystery beyond everyone's expectations.

However, no matter how bizarre the subsequent events, what should be done now is to continue the story in a reasonable chronological order.

After the raven incident, time passed quickly, and soon it was the next morning...
