Chapter 730: Serial Fright



"Come on, stand in front of the background." The senior student in the ill-fitting school uniform picked up the Polaroid camera on the table and urged the tourists to stand to the left of the projector: "I'll count to one, two, three, and everyone laugh together."

The senior pressed the shutter of the camera. His finger was pressing the shutter without lifting it, and the flash kept lighting up.

In the dark photography department, the camera flashes were so dazzling that several people covered their eyes.

"Okay, the photos have been taken. I'll go see if the doctor is here. Come here and divide the photos, one for each person. Also, be careful not to touch anything in the room casually." While the senior was talking, the camera kept "spitting out" photos. He picked up one at random and put it in his pocket, then put the camera on the table and left.

The air conditioner in the room was set to a very low temperature, and I could feel the cool breeze blowing across my exposed skin.

The boy named Cui Ming and Li Po supported each other as they moved closer to the edge of the table and picked up the photos on the ground. "We'd better do as they say. There are many puzzle levels inside the abandoned school, and the clues are hidden in these small props."

Cui Ming had this experience before. Last time, it seemed that he did not pay attention to collecting props, which led to the collapse of the situation and he had to give up.

Picking up the photos, Cui Ming distributed them to everyone. Halfway through, he suddenly stopped.

"Why is there one more?"

Cui Ming stood at the end of the team with Chen Ge. At this time, Chen Ge was the only one without a photo, but Cui Ming still had three photos left.

Not counting his own card and the one belonging to Chen Ge, there would still be one more card.

"There's something wrong with this photo! Damn it! Look!" Li Yuan screamed, pointing at the photo in his hand: "There's an extra person in the group photo!"

After hearing this, several tourists looked down at the photos. They were very surprised to find that there was an extra person next to Shirley when they took the photo just now!

She was wearing a Nightmare Academy uniform, her face was pale, her eyes were staring straight at the screen, her head resting lightly on Shirley's shoulder.

"Fuck! I didn't notice it at all!" Xueli kept slapping her shoulders. She was such a ladylike person at ordinary times, but she actually burst out with swear words at this moment.

Chen Ge stared at the photo for a while and said, "It's not computer-generated. That means when the photo was taken, the employees who were hiding in the room ran out."

The location where tourists took photos was chosen by the senior. The wall behind it is a different color from the other walls in the room. After careful observation, it can be found that there is a location that bulges slightly outwards.

"I don't want to stay in this room anymore. Let's go out." Xueli hugged Li Yuan like a bullied koala.

"Don't go out casually. It's safest to listen to the staff." Cui Ming reminded: "No matter how scary the plot is, you won't encounter anything too scary when you are going through it. Once you don't follow the plot and run around, all the ghosts in the scenes will run out. That's when you will be truly desperate."

"Okay." Xueli leaned on Li Yuan's shoulder and threw the photo aside. She was very timid and didn't dare to touch this thing.

Her beautiful eyes unconsciously swept across the projector screen. The movie playing on it was one Shirley had never seen before. The leading actors were several students who were wearing badges from the Photography Department. The filming location happened to be in this room.

"You guys watch this movie, it's so weird."

Everyone looked at the projector. On the screen, people from the photography department were cleaning. Suddenly, a classmate found a dusty videotape in the deepest part of the cabinet.

The members of the photography department gathered together, all looking very curious, and they decided to see what was recorded in the videotape.

The film has no sound, just like watching a pantomime, but the actors’ acting skills are excellent and they can express the plot through body movements alone.

In the movie, the student inserted the videotape into the projector, and then a very strange scene appeared.

Visitors to the haunted house stood in the photography department and watched the people in the movie standing in the photography department watching the movie.

It is the same position and even the viewing angle, but the person viewing it has changed. This visual consistency can easily create an illusion.

After debugging the machine, the movie started playing. The video recorded an event held by the school.

The video was very short, only one minute, and after several students watched it, they suddenly started arguing.

Since the film had no sound, the tourists had no idea what they were arguing about.

After the students finished their debate, they played the video again.

At the 44th second of the video, one of the students pressed the pause button. He pointed at the corridor at the corner of the projector and said something with a horrified look on his face.

The movie screen zoomed in, and the tourists could slowly see clearly that when the school was holding an event, a figure flashed in the corridor.

The students started arguing again, and some probably didn't believe it and thought it might have been a filming accident.

They had a disagreement and several students walked out of the photography department, until only the student who discovered the shadow was still standing in the room.

The student played the video clip over and over again, trying to prove something.

Strangely enough, every time he repeated the playback, the figure in the corner corridor would become clearer, and gradually a person's facial features would emerge.

The person in the corridor seemed to be slowly approaching. When he played it for the third time, he could clearly see a pale-faced, blood-covered woman in the corridor.

The tourists watched more and more attentively. The movie images switched back and forth between the students and the projector screen. Finally, when it was played for the fifth time, the face in the corridor became clear!

The ferocious facial features made the students feel uncomfortable and the tourists were also worried.

The students in the movie began to get scared, and he prepared to play it for the sixth time with trembling hands.

The tape played to the 44th second again, but this time the figure in the corridor disappeared.

The student scratched his head and put his face in front of the curtain. He looked carefully at the corridor in the corner. At this moment, the curtain hanging on the wall fell off, and a hideous and terrifying face appeared behind the curtain!

“Bang!”

Before the tourists could even scream, the door to the photography department was pushed open, and the senior student screamed as soon as he appeared: "Run! Quick! Didn't I tell you not to touch anything in the house?"

Before the tourists could figure out what was going on, Shirley suddenly felt her hair being lifted. She turned around and saw a hideous and terrifying face that should have appeared in the movie right behind her!

"ah!"

Frightened, Xueli dragged Li Yuan and ran outside desperately. Several other tourists were also in a mess. Only Chen Ge, with his bag on his back, took a deep look at the projector and the innermost wall of the photography department.

"One person opened the door to attract attention, and the other took the opportunity to come out through the employee passage. The timing was perfect. They must have practiced this many times. This Nightmare Academy really should not be underestimated."
