The video in the DV was still playing. I didn't know if it was due to the lighting problem or some other reason, but the video was becoming increasingly blurry, as if it was shrouded in a black shadow.
The man's words in the video attracted the interest of others, and under their constant questioning, the man told a story that happened to him.
When he was a child, there was also a shrine in his home. The shrine was placed directly opposite the living room door and was covered with a thick black cloth.
Before his death, the man's grandfather told his family that no matter what happened after his death, they should not open the shrine, and when he was buried, they should bury the shrine directly in his coffin.
Because of the inheritance issue, the family fell out after the grandfather's death. The quarrel soon turned into a physical conflict, and the shrine was knocked over during the fight.
The adults were arguing so loudly that no one paid any attention to the toppled shrine. Instead, the young grandson took a curious look into the shrine.
Then the little grandson did something that no one expected. He shouted into the shrine - Grandpa.
The sound scared the adults who were fighting over the inheritance. They all stared at the little grandson, but the young grandson squatted in front of the shrine, staring at the shrine, as if his grandfather was hiding in the shrine.
There is a saying in the countryside that children can see ghosts. The adults thought that the old man was angry, so they quickly put the shrine back in place. Finally, they sold the old house according to the will and buried the shrine and the old man's ashes together.
The matter would have ended there, but the man changed his tone, and on the day the old man was buried, the little grandson who had previously seen the things in the shrine also disappeared.
It was as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth. No one knew where he had gone, and no one knew what he had seen in the shrine.
In the video, after hearing the man’s story, several friends were not afraid, and they even began to encourage the owner of the ancestral home to open his own shrine and take a look.
Under the influence of alcohol, several people walked towards the corridor while making a fuss.
Some of them were holding wine glasses, some were holding mobile phones, and some were recording videos with DVs.
It was raining heavily outside the old house, and several people stopped beside the shrine, making a lot of noise.
The fat man who had just passed by the shrine stood in the front. He reached out to lift the black cloth on the shrine, and grabbed the door of the shrine with his fat hands.
As the fat man was slowly trying to open the shrine, a flash of lightning flashed outside the window and all the lights in the room suddenly went out.
At the same time, when several tourists were concentrating on watching the DV video, the lights in the real scene went out!
Reality and the video are synchronized. Screams are heard in the video, and tourists in reality are also screaming. Everything seems to be a replica and a replay.
The sound of the shrine door opening was heard in the darkness, and after a few seconds, the lights in the video and in reality were restored at the same time.
The video shows seven friends gathered in a hallway, stunned to find that the door to the shrine has been opened.
The seven people looked at each other, and finally all looked at the fat man. The fat man was very confused and said that he did not use any force at all, and he was not the one who opened the shrine.
When he saw this, Chen Ge shouted to the tourists around him, "Get out of the way!"
He looked at the end of the corridor, and in the dark corner, the lonely shrine was opened!
“When was it opened?”
"I don't know!" The policeman looked helpless: "This part wasn't there when I came here last time."
The video was still playing. The DV was fixed on the suitcase, and the suitcase was stuck between the bed and the cabinet, making it difficult to remove. Chen Ge and the others could only ignore the shrine for the time being and continue watching.
The light returned to the room, and the few people saw that there was nothing in the shrine. They all thought that the legend was just a lie, and then returned to the main hall.
They played for a while, but felt it was boring, so they simply tidied up the room, piled the wine bottles and various garbage in the corner, and then went back to their room to sleep.
The DV was taken away by one of them, and he returned to his room, which was the room where Chen Ge and the others were now.
The man said good night to the DV and then turned it off.
The tourists thought the video ended there, but after a while, new footage appeared.
The man who had looked calm before was now curled up in the quilt, holding up the DV he had just opened with trembling hands.
Just when the tourists didn't understand what he was doing, the man secretly extended the DV camera out of the quilt, and the shooting screen was facing the bedroom closet.
There was no light in the bedroom, so it was dark. The closet in the picture didn't look too scary, except that it was not closed tightly, leaving a gap.
The picture was almost still, and at this moment, an eye suddenly flashed in the closet!
The picture was a little shaky, and you could see that the man hiding under the quilt was very scared, and he was forcing himself not to make any sound.
The man was sure that there was something hiding in the closet. He kept filming the closet with a video camera, but the eye never appeared again.
After a while, the DV seemed to be running out of battery. The man held the DV with one hand and reached for something with the other hand, but at this moment the screen suddenly shook, as if the man had touched something.
Then the man slowly turned his hand holding the DV and pointed the camera at himself.
His face was revealed in the picture, as well as another face under the quilt.
The man tried to scream, but the dirty black hair strangled his neck and stuffed into his mouth.
The DV fell and the picture finally froze at the door. Following the direction of the shot, one could just see the opened shrine at the end of the corridor.
After watching the DV, the tourists around were already sweating.
When the known strategies didn't work, all the tourists looked at Chen Ge, and he seemed to have become the default core.
"The most dangerous thing in this scene is the shrine. Normally, tourists would never open it, but in the Hell difficulty, someone helped us open it." Chen Ge turned around and found that everyone was waiting for him to continue: "My job is just a volunteer. Can you have some ideas of your own occasionally?"
In the team of seven people, six were traitors, and the only tourist even became the team leader.
Chen Ge wanted to find out some information. These "tourists" were still useful, so he could only pretend that he hadn't noticed anything. "The video didn't tell us what was in the shrine, but the house must have become like this because of the shrine. The key to escape should also be on the shrine. I remember that one of you is a detective and can get the location of a clue after entering a new scene."
"I'm a detective." The man with glasses raised his watch and looked at it for a while: "The clue is hidden in the shrine..."
Several tourists walked out of the bedroom and came to the end of the corridor.
The man with glasses shone his cell phone into the shrine. Several people bent over to look and found that the inner wall of the shrine was covered with the word "death" carved out with fingernails.
