Chapter 383 Possession
Judging from the scenes where the video team of "Do not die, do not die" repeatedly encountered possessed spirits, Yan Junze discovered a very subtle similar situation.
Everyone on the squad seems to be bent over by the possessed spirit shortly after their faces emerge from the camera.
From the man with a Chinese face at the very beginning, to the only female team member, then to the slightly fat man who drove the van, and finally Ding Jun himself.
Especially Ding Jun, because he himself is the photographer and has never appeared in the camera. The faces of other players were photographed by him, but he himself has not been on the camera until the end.
After Ding Jun himself appeared on the camera, not long after, in front of the camera, under the eyes of everyone, this guy was completely possessed.
If it wasn't for this last scene, Yan Junze wouldn't be sure whether his guess was correct. It wasn't until Ding Jun's face was completely distorted that he was 80% sure of his guess.
Fatty He sat up from the bed, seemed refreshed, and kept sighing: "Spirit Eliminator is really different, I just watched it once and found out. When I watched this video, I watched it back and forth three times. I didn't know what was going on, but I found out after reading the comments."
"Which website is this video?" Yan Junze asked.
"Open your eyes." Fatty He said: "But it wasn't sent by the team of 'Do not die', but another netizen, who is said to be a friend of Ding Jun."
"Is there any news about Ding Jun's team?" Yan Junze asked.
The fat man shook his head: "No, this video was automatically uploaded to the network disk. Ding Jun's friends posted it after seeing it, but Ding Jun and his team members have never been found."
"disappeared?"
"Probably dead."
"What's the name of the netizen who uploaded the video?" Yan Junze asked.
"Video 201907221395." He Bishou said.
For the video platform "Open Your Eyes", if the user does not modify the user name, it will be displayed in the form of "Shiyou" plus a string of digital codes by default.
Obviously this netizen is like this.
Now it seems that the possessing spirit's possessing method is indeed very strange. Once the face is captured by the camera lens, the person will be possessed immediately. This method is simply unimaginable.
That is, the possessed spirit is attached to the camera lens by some means, but it is not on the surface of the lens, but like an electronic signal.
At this time, an ominous premonition rose from Yan Junze's heart. He stood up and patted He Bishou on the shoulder: "Stop watching this kind of video, there is still a lot of youth waiting for you to squander. If you have time, go out and walk more. Basking in the sun."
However, He Bishou was still very interested, and said: "In addition to comics, my youth is now watching videos. The videos on this video platform have been blown up for a while! Half of my time spent watching comics is taken up. All kinds of good-looking, very exciting!"
Looking at it like this, shooting weird videos is still very popular, and it's not like Zhang Xiaomo said, it will gradually die down.
Yan Junze nodded: "It seems...it's more exciting than before."
He Bishou didn't get up, but got down again, clicked on the next video, and muttered: "I don't know if there are any videos made by people like 'Don't Do Not Die' that I haven't seen?"
Yan Junze ignored him, packed his books, and left the dormitory alone.
When he came to the rental house, Ku Zai was teaching Xianger how to make hot pot.
Because the weather has just started to warm up, it is still relatively cold during this period, and eating hot pot has almost become a must-have dinner for Yan Junze when he goes to the rental house.
Every time Yan Junze comes over, Xiang'er has prepared hot pot ingredients, but she doesn't know much, and she only cooks those two kinds, one clear soup, one red soup, the red soup is the bottom of the hot pot bought outside material.
Ku Zai was still eating casually for a while, but later he couldn’t take it anymore. It stands to reason that his family is a clear stream in the hot pot industry, otherwise it would be impossible for the old restaurant to still sell well after so many years of operation.
As far as the types of hot pot are concerned, even though Ku Zai doesn’t cook them directly in his family’s shop, he has been exposed to various pot bottoms under his influence.
According to the memory his father usually said, he prepared the bottom of the sour soup pot by himself. Whirling and rolling.
When Yan Junze arrived, a hot and sour aroma permeated the rental house, making the mouth watery and the appetite whetted.
"Hot and sour hot pot?" Yan Junze shrugged his nose and laughed happily.
"I can't remember some specific operations and the ratio of the base material, but it should be these." Ku Zai smiled honestly from the side.
"Not bad, it's the same as the smell in the restaurant." Yan Junze nodded and patted him on the shoulder.
Ku Zai looked excited, as if he had been affirmed by the highest authority.
After all the preparations were completed, Xianger went to wash the vegetables.
In this kind of weather, the work of washing vegetables is basically done by Xianger, because no matter how cold the water is, it is not as cold as her body temperature.
And she didn't feel anything. For Xiang'er, winter is the same as summer, even in terms of dressing, the only difference is not to make others suspect.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ku Zai sat in the room, took out his phone and looked through it.
Yan Junze thought he was sending a message to his family, glanced at the screen, and found that this guy actually watched the video again, and the picture that appeared in the video happened to be a person whose face and facial features were completely distorted.
The picture is very familiar.
"Huh?" Yan Junze looked over in surprise, "Are you watching this video too?"
"Yeah." Ku Zai nodded, "I've watched it a few times, and my house inspections are consistent with those of other netizens. This possessed spirit is most likely possessed through the lens of the camera."
"Then you still watch it, aren't you afraid of spreading it through watching the video, and then being possessed?" Yan Junze laughed.
Ku Zai raised his head in horror and looked at him: "I really never thought this would happen, is it true? Brother Yan, it can't really be like this."
Yan Junze shook his head and smiled: "Just kidding."
At this time, Xiang'er washed the vegetables and brought them into the house. Ku Zai put down his phone and went to help.
Yan Junze looked at his back, and after a while, he suddenly said softly: "Others may not, but if you watch this video, you really can't tell."
The hot and sour hot pot is very appetizing. Yan Junze ate four bowls of this meal, and on the basis of the original side dishes, he added several servings of meatballs, luncheon meat, and hairy tripe.
Eating until his belly was full, the dining table was cleared, and Kuzai rushed to wash the dishes, but because there was hot water for washing, Xianger didn't do it anymore.
Yan Junze called Xiang'er to his side and asked, "Although Kuzai slept in the rented house next door, did you notice anything unusual?"
Xiang'er nodded: "Last week, there was a weird one that was attracted by Kuzai at four o'clock in the morning. After I sensed it, I went out immediately, and saw it was crawling into the door of Kuzai's rental house. When it was about to succeed, I pulled it out and destroyed it."
Yan Junze nodded: "Pay attention to him, this guy has kept up with his nutrition during this period, and he is no longer as thin as before."
Xiang'er agreed.
Yan Junze said: "Also, especially in the past few days, pay attention to whether there are any strange things here in Kuzai, especially strengthen the induction and deterrence of other weirdnesses, and there must be no sloppy."
At this time, Ku Zai brought in the washed dishes and said casually: "That video looks really exciting, and no one expected the ending to be like this. It would be great if we could find out the whereabouts of Ding Jun and the others."
This kid, who has already washed the dishes, is still thinking about the video just now.
Coming out of the rental house, Yan Junze was a little worried, so he called Zhang Xiaomo and asked Huaying University if there was any news about the spirit possessed that disappeared in the Metropolitan City of America recently.
Zhang Xiaomo said that he hadn't heard any news. Perhaps the possessed spirit that came out of the altar was perfectly hidden, or it might have been caught or strangled by the high-level spirit removers in Metropolis.
Immediately Yan Junze asked her if she knew about a weird video that has been circulating recently, which came from the team of "Do Not Die".
Zhang Xiaomo immediately reacted, but then told him that the shooting location of this video was in Shouzheng District, not the Tianmeng, so there were other spirit eliminators over there, and she was not very clear about the follow-up progress.
But Ding Jun and his little friends must be in danger, Zhang Xiaomo agreed, and she would try to find out later, to see if she could find out the whereabouts of the photographer of this video.
Is it true that they all died, or is this just a prank. If it is a prank, after the heat is over, will the talents of this team appear collectively, triggering another round of upsurge, and boosting another wave.
Tianyi District.
The headquarters of "Open Your Eyes" Video Communication Technology Co., Ltd. is a building about 30 stories high. A company occupies three to five floors.
The open your eyes video platform occupies the sixteenth to twenty floors.
Although it is already evening, there are basically rooms on the five floors with lights on. It is normal to stay up late at night for work like video.
Some of the videos uploaded by netizens are actually quite good, but in terms of technical processing, such as editing, excessive camera shake, and lighting supplements, there is no attention at all, which leads to a greatly reduced viewing effect of the video.
Either it was shaking too much, or the light was too dim to see clearly.
So at this time, the company platform will send a group of people to specialize in overnight processing of these videos with good stories, but due to technical reasons, the playback target cannot be achieved.
There are quite a lot of videos of this kind, so it takes time and effort to process them. In one night, you can probably fine-tune three to four videos, and the speed is pretty good.
Grey is the supervisor of the Technical Repair Department of the "Open Your Eyes" headquarters. Although it is already late at night, he has long been working overtime, so he plans to rest in the office at night instead of going home.
On the computer screen in front of Gray, what is displayed at the moment is the video clip information in a video database.
Most of these materials have been restored, and they are all named according to the folder as a distinction.
At this time, Gray clicked on a folder named "Do Not Die".
There are more than 20 video materials in the folder, but Gray's eyes are on the last two videos.
The first of these two videos is the weird video of possession through the camera lens that is currently going viral on the Internet.
Grey's mouse swiped across the first video, without stopping, but slowly landed on the second video.
This video has not been uploaded to the Internet at present, but has been kept in Gray's database.
More than a minute passed, and the mouse still stayed above the video without clicking.
Grey seemed a little hesitant. He chose to log in to the web version of "Open Your Eyes", entered a string of passwords in the pop-up information field with the user name, and pressed the login button.
Soon an information dialog box popped up, and in the information display column, the user name column was impressively "Shiyou 201907221395".
Grey logged into the background of the uploaded video as this video friend 201907221395, and then the mouse moved close to the second video just now.
Grab the video and drag it in the direction of the upload path. When he was about to let go, Gray hesitated.
He still held down the mouse, slowly dragged the video back, double-clicked the video worriedly, opened the screen that occupied half of the computer screen, stared at the video that started playing, and fell silent.
The video playback starts immediately after the interruption of the first video. In the video, the picture that had turned into snowflakes began to become clear again.
At this time, the picture has been zoomed out, and Ding Jun's figure can be seen standing not far away, just enough to frame his whole body into the camera.
Ding Jun returned to the state of bowing his head, he couldn't see his face clearly, the surrounding was quiet, and he could occasionally hear unknown insects chirping, but it soon subsided.
Not long after, rustling sounds approached from the periphery of the camera. Gray turned up the volume of the video, and it sounded like rustling sounds coming from more than one direction.
In the picture, a woman approached Ding Jun with her head down, her feet seemed to be filled with lead, she dragged herself very slowly towards Ding Jun, and then stood still.
Under the night, in the white light of the camera, deep in the dark grass, a slightly fat middle-aged man came again, this is the driver of the van.
The driver approached the two people standing motionless, lowered his head silently, and stood next to Ding Jun's other side, also not moving.
The whole picture seems to be still, but it feels extremely depressing.
No one knows whether these three people are dead or alive.
Occasionally, there is a slight breeze and the tip of the grass sways slightly, so that people can know that the video is still playing at the moment, and it is not that the picture has been frozen.
Wait, about seven minutes later, the rustling sound came again.
A figure of a man reappeared in the video. It was the square-faced man who was first possessed in the previous video. He also dragged his feet heavily, walked to the side of the woman with his head down, and stood still.
This time, the others did not stand all the time, but after the Chinese character face arrived, the four stretched out their hands respectively, and they seemed to be put together softly, holding each other.
Because the body may not be under control, none of the four people can effectively form a circle, and they all stand staggeringly.
After the four people held hands, without any abnormality, three of them fell to the ground in an instant and disappeared from the screen, and only one of them was still standing.
This person is Ding Jun.
The rest of Ding Jun no longer bowed his head, his head had been raised at some point, and his face and facial features returned to normal, no longer twisted, but his lips could not be restored because they were twisted once, and his lower lip was pulled apart a little. , showing two teeth.
His body is no longer stooped, but straightened his back, approached the camera, bent down, put his pale face in front of the camera, and looked at the camera without blinking.
Such a close observation made Gray startled.
When I saw this yesterday, because I was watching it alone in the office, I was so scared that I immediately turned off the video, but I watched it again today, because I was mentally prepared, so I didn’t turn it off.
Just after that face occupied almost the entire screen, it might be because of the reflection of the screen that it reached its peak. At this moment, the screen was like a mirror, and Gray saw his own cheek reflected in the screen.
The next second, his body suddenly began to arch slightly involuntarily, and his head drooped.
The video on the computer has finished playing, and the picture freezes when the plate with the big face is close to the camera, and the playback software automatically closes after a few seconds.
Grey sat there motionless, as if he had fallen asleep, but his right hand began to move, and slowly, he grabbed the mouse that was close at hand.
The second video was held down, dragged along the screen to the upload path bar of the web version of "Open Your Eyes", and the mouse button was released.
Grey, with his head down, slowly raised his head at this time, revealing a seemingly normal face, except that the corner of his mouth was pulled up at the position of his lower lip, revealing two teeth, and he smiled strangely at the computer screen.
The mouse on the screen has moved to the top of the upload button, and then, click it lightly.
