Chapter 300 New Life (21)
The anticipated problem of other rooms not having televisions did not materialize.
As if to ensure they could play the videotapes anywhere, Shi Yan looked at several rooms in succession. Although the furniture inside was different, they all had a television exactly the same as 402.
Shi Yan ultimately chose 302, which is directly below 402.
When it was time to play the videotape, Ning Jianwei and the others went to room 301 to wait.
When the videotape was played again, the number of viewers had decreased sharply compared to the first day.
The screen lit up, and this time, the image wasn't in the hospital.
Those watching the video perked up; this time, the scene was set in a room.
A heavily pregnant woman sat on the sofa watching TV.
The footage was cut from the side, unlike before when it seemed to be handheld shooting. This time it looked like a fixed camera, with a very stable and motionless image.
Judging from the lighting, the video was taken at night, as the room was dimly lit and the lights were off.
The only light source in the entire room was the television set directly in front of the woman.
Her protruding belly was particularly noticeable, and her face, illuminated by the television light, appeared incongruously pale. Her expression was calm, as if the content being broadcast on television could not evoke the slightest emotional response from her.
Those watching the recording were also unable to discern what the television was actually playing.
Because there was no sound at all.
Silence, as still as the unchanging scene at this moment, and even the sounds are frozen.
Ten seconds, twenty seconds, half a minute.
Someone looked down at their watch to confirm that time was passing, but the footage in the video remained unchanged.
The woman remained seated in the same position in front of the television, the camera peering at her from the side as if spying on her. The television was as silent as ever, without any sound, perhaps because there was no program playing at all.
A full minute passed before one of the newcomers finally lost patience. Zheng Shu couldn't help but ask, "Is the TV choppy?"
Is the TV choppy?
Zheng Shu's brain went blank for a moment.
Did she hear herself speak?
And it was done twice.
The second time, her eyes flickered, and she hesitated as she looked at the television screen.
The second time, it came from here.
It wasn't the television they were watching, but the television the woman on the videotape was watching.
Her voice suddenly came from the television, which had been silent as if it had just been turned on but wasn't playing any programs.
Goosebumps instantly covered Zheng Shu's back. She stared at the television screen in near horror, her mind too chaotic to think.
To make matters worse, she wasn't the only one who heard the sound.
The woman in the videotape, who had been watching TV with a blank expression, also heard it.
Even though the sound was coming from the television, she slowly turned her head toward the "camera."
In the videotape, her dark pupils were exceptionally clear and unusually large. Are normal people's pupils that big?
Zheng Shu couldn't think about any of this because the woman had completely turned her head to face the camera, her eyes fixed on him. For a moment, Zheng Shu had the illusion that she was looking directly at him!
She heard her voice, and she saw her!
But how is that possible?
It's just a videotape!
Zheng Shu's heart was pounding, her scalp tingled, and her throat was dry, rendering her speechless. The woman's gaze seemed to possess a magical power, making it difficult for her to turn away. Yet, the longer they looked at each other, the harder it became for Zheng Shu to breathe. No one was choking her, and the air in the room was normal, yet she still felt suffocated.
Fortunately, the TV screen suddenly went completely black the next second.
pat.
That's the sound of the videotape being ejected by the machine.
This video recording has ended.
Zheng Shu collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. Before she knew it, her back was soaked with sweat and her face was covered in cold sweat, as if she had just been pulled out of the water.
"What was that just now?"
Seeing that Shi Yan had already pulled the videotape out, someone cautiously asked.
"I don't know, I'm going to return the videotape first." Shi Yan waved his hand, showing no intention of sharing his thoughts.
Lu Jinchao frowned slightly. In her view, today's videotape represented one thing: the influence of ghosts was indeed increasing.
If the videotape also represents a part of the ghost, then previously it could only obediently play the video inside, but today, it has begun to "interact" with the person watching the video.
Although everyone completed the task today, watched the video in its entirety, and did not encounter any real danger, Zheng Shu may seem terrified at the moment, but she was indeed unharmed.
But after that?
What will happen when watching the video afterwards? Will the "interactive" capabilities of the videotape continue to improve?
Keep in mind that they are being weakened.
Will any of them be able to watch the videotape successfully tomorrow?
Or rather, will they be alive enough to watch the videotape?
"Is it right to spend money to avoid the videotapes?"
The moment the thought crossed Lu Jinzhao's mind, her eyes suddenly changed.
wrong.
That's not right!
The mission must be leading the passengers to their deaths.
Other scenarios, no matter how dangerous they may seem, are not necessarily more dangerous than completing a mission.
Perhaps the interaction on the videotape at this moment is an attempt to make them think that "continuing to watch will lead to danger" so as to avoid the mission?
Tomorrow, she will continue to complete her mission.
After Shi Yan left, Ning Jianwei and the others came in. The first thing they did was to ask about the contents of the videotape from today.
At this moment, Zheng Shu was in a bad mood. The people of Anning City might not be willing to pay attention to her, but Shu Yuan, who had been walking with Ning Jianwei for a long time, spoke up.
After hearing her words, Ning Jianwei's first thought was that using the money to buy her life to evade the mission was the right thing to do, but soon she also thought of the same idea as Lu Jinzhao.
Could this be something a ghost did on purpose?
As the platform level increases, the ghosts become more and more terrifying, even more insidious and evil. They still lack human understanding, but they will set traps, and they will no longer be clumsy.
However, Ning Jianwei made a decision different from Lu Jinzhao's.
She decided to avoid the mission tomorrow as well, waiting to see if the person who completed the mission would actually encounter danger.
Shi Yan returned from room 401 quickly, looking exactly the same as when she left, which relieved some of the people present.
It seems that there is indeed no danger in borrowing videotapes and returning them on time.
"However, there is now a problem."
It was Lu Jinzhao who suddenly spoke.
She looked at Ning Jianwei and the others: "You avoided the mission today. I want to know, has the weakening of the supernatural power in your bodies stopped?"
