Half an hour ago.

"Friends, behind me is the July Photo Studio. I wonder how many of you remember the missing children case that shocked Yucheng more than ten years ago. Although there was no evidence, the nine missing children in Yucheng during that period all had one thing in common: they had taken photos at this photo studio."

The short Qi Xiaomao stood in front of the July Photo Studio, holding a flashlight against his chin to give it a deathly light, deliberately making himself look scary.

Zhang Da Kui stood by with a crowbar and pointed the camera on his body at Qi Xiao Miao.

The fog was quite thick. The light from Zhang Da Kui's flashlight shone on the faded plaque of July Photo Studio. It was pitch black behind the windows and glass doors. Fog and dust floated in the light column.

"...I know a lot of people say this is a conspiracy theory, but if you think about it carefully, the netizens' analysis is not unreasonable. Could it be that the owner of the photo studio first selected the right children to target, took photos, and then abducted them to the next buyer?"

"In the process of taking photos, the photo studio can learn about the children and their families, where they live, where they often go for activities, etc. Unfortunately, there is not enough evidence, so this matter has become an unsolved case."

Zheng Letian supported the breathless Xu Shufen and slumped down on the stairs.

The correct content is in %六九% book'bar!

After seeing the photo clearly, Qi Xiaomiao screamed, and the phone and the holder fell to the ground. Zhang Da Kui was also frightened by the children's faces in the photo.

Zhang Da Kui quickly took out his mobile phone from his pocket, quickly turned on the flashlight function, and held it up to shine.

They were completely lost in this building.

Behind her, Zhang Da Kui used a crowbar to pry the lock. Before he could exert much force, the door suddenly opened a crack.

"I can leave you alone, but you have to accept this jade. It's a talisman my eldest brother gave me. Please keep it safe for me. I will come to you to take it back."

Hearing Qi Xiaomiao's cry, Zhang Da Kui didn't think much about the door lock. He walked to Qi Xiaomiao and let her hold his arm and stand on tiptoe.

Zheng Letian did not refuse in a hurry. After thinking carefully, he took off the evil-repelling jade pendant from his neck and put it in Xu Shufen's hand.

Xu Shufen sighed quietly, "I'm too old to run anymore, and I've lived long enough. You leave me here and you go find a way out. There must be some rules in this building that we haven't noticed. Look carefully and make sure you get out!"

The light of the mobile phone went out, and darkness completely swallowed everything.

They couldn't get to the top floor, nor could they get down one floor. He counted carefully along the way and found that they had run at least 21 floors, but this building was only 7 stories high! This was not just a ghost wall. They brought rooster blood, black dog blood, and all the tricks that could break the ghost wall, but they still couldn't see the bottom floor.

All the photos on the wall turned black and white. Bright red blood flowed down the children's eyes. The smiles on their lips also became extremely malicious.

"There were even some strange disappearances attributed to the photo studio online. Eventually, there was a strange rumor about this place, saying that if you took photos at the studio in July, you would go missing."

"Da Kui, come and take a picture."

A cold wind swept across the back of their necks, giving both of them goose bumps.

Qi Xiao Miao used a flashlight to scan the surroundings, trembling with fear, afraid that something would suddenly appear. The wall at the entrance of the photo studio was neatly hung with various photo frames of different sizes, all of which were photos of children's smiling faces, covered with dust and blurred.

Zheng Letian pretended not to see it and stepped back to Xu Shufen. Xu Shufen was slumped on the stairs and couldn't get up. Her originally gray hair had turned completely white, and her cheeks were sunken, as if she was hanging on by her last breath.

There was nothing outside, no head, no ball.

*Meanwhile, Brothers Watch Shop upstairs.

Snap!

"ah!"

Xu Shufen was still holding the mountain god statue wrapped in red cloth in her arms. She panted and said, "I'm sorry, kid. It's all my fault. The resentment in this village is much stronger than I thought. It's even stronger than the mountain god. We can't deal with it at all. I have implicated you for nothing."

Zhang Da Kui hesitated for a moment, then seeing that Xiao Miao’s face had turned pale with tears in her eyes due to fear, he mustered up the courage to walk over and pull the door hard.

The flash lights froze the smiling faces of the two people. Qi Xiaomiao and Zhang Da Kui immediately went over to check the photos taken by their mobile phones.

Zheng Letian's eyes turned red. He ran to the railing of the middle patio and looked down. The first floor was completely invisible in the dark fog.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

Sizzle!

After the recording, Qi Xiaomiao took out her 1.5-meter-high floor stand, set up her phone at the entrance of July Photo Studio, and prepared to take a group photo.

"One, two, three, beautiful~"

"The original owner of the photo studio disappeared after he sold the shop to someone else. The new owner used the original name. Strangely, after the new owner took over, many customers who took photos in the shop said that they heard children laughing behind them, but when they turned around, there was no one there, and they saw a ball bounce out by itself."

Qi Xiaomao screamed and fell backwards, looking at the photo wall in front of her in horror.

(For reference, please imagine it as night)

The door of July Photo Studio slowly opened with a creaking sound.

Qi Xiaomao was so scared that she burst into tears, and she grabbed the arm of Zhang Da Kui who was walking over to her, shaking all over.

Zheng Letian shook his head slightly. "That's not true, mother-in-law. It's because of this era that too much resentment has been created, allowing the village resentment to grow rapidly. But have you ever heard of the saying, 'People are scarier than ghosts'! So I believe that we will definitely get out of this alive."

They immediately shone their flashlights towards the glass door of the photo studio. Through the mottled glass door, they could vaguely see many portraits of children hanging on the walls inside the studio.

There was still no one there, but on the dusty glass, there was a child's handprint! "Brother Da Kui, is there really... a ghost? What should we do? Are we unable to get out?"

“Ahhhh!!!”

The quiet abandoned village remained quiet, lifeless and lifeless.

Qi Xiaomao was so scared that he turned around and ran, broke open the door of the photo studio and rushed in. Zhang Da Kui followed in, still in shock.

"Today, Xiao Miao and Da Kui will work together to dispel this strange rumor. We decided to take a group photo in front of the July Photo Studio, and then take another group photo inside the studio. Just wait and see, we will definitely not disappear!"

"ah----"

Qi Xiaomiao and Zhang Da Kui looked at each other and were about to pick up their phones to confirm again when a ball bounced out from the darkness in the distance.

The last solution he could think of now was to jump directly from the patio!

"Let me take another look."

Zhang Da Kui's face turned pale, he swallowed, picked up the flashlight, wiped the dust off the window glass and shone it outside.

But thinking of his brother Wu Jun who was devoured by the "village resentment", he had to give up such a risky idea. He had to stay alive to save his brother Wu Jun.

"Big Kui brother!"

Qi Xiaomao asked Zhang Da Kui nervously, not even daring to look outside.

Hehehe~

Did I see it wrong?

Ding ding~ The wind chimes are ringing, and dust is falling in the long-sealed photo studio.

Qi Xiaomao made a "V" sign with one hand and held a Bluetooth remote control with the other.

Bang! The door of the photo studio suddenly closed. Qi Xiao Miao trembled all over and immediately shone the flashlight over.

The ball rolled closer and closer, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a rotten human head, with hair tangled around the face, revealing a white eye that stared at the two men.

After saying that, Zheng Letian stood up, took a few steps and disappeared down the stairs without waiting for Xu Shufen to refuse.

"What is that? Is this village really not clean?"

Zhang Da Kui bent his knees and half-knelt, leveling their heights and putting their heads together.

"ah!!!"

As long as he can get out and contact his eldest brother before the Ghost Festival, Brother Wu Jun can still be saved! Wiping the moisture from his eyes with his sleeve, Zheng Letian turned his head and saw the woman in red with disheveled hair still standing in the darkness in the distance, following them like a shadow.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The sound weighed on the heartbeats of the two people. Qi Xiao Miao's eyes widened and he hid behind Zhang Da Kui. Zhang Da Kui raised his flashlight and found that there was no one where the ball bounced.

Hehehe~ The laughter came from somewhere, and under the light of the mobile phone, a pair of small footprints suddenly appeared on the dusty ground, rushing towards them quickly from all directions.

Ring Ring~Welcome!

It was equally dark above my head. Faded couplets remained on the old green wooden doors around me. Abandoned debris was piled in the corners covered with traces of dampness. There was an eerie and terrifying atmosphere everywhere.

As expected, it couldn't be opened.

Xu Shufen clutched the jade and sighed heavily. If it weren't for the jade and Zheng Wujun's protection, it would have been Zheng Letian who was swallowed by the village resentment.

Zheng Letian has greater potential than Zheng Wujun. This can be felt from the fact that he always sees and hears more than Zheng Wujun.

Without this piece of jade, he would definitely be targeted by the villagers.

This child wants to use himself to divert the village resentment!
