Chapter 48 Camera
The village chief continued to knock on the door: "Open the door quickly, don't let people freeze outside."
Xiao Liang was at a loss, and developed a certain fear of outsiders that he couldn't explain.
Lu Jiamu leaned over to the ventilation hole of the broken wooden window, looked out, and then asked with a smile: "What is our slogan?"
Enter Science...
Yes, the fear of outsiders is unreasonable.
Xiao Liang took a deep breath and opened the door.
Standing at the door were the village chief with a friendly look on his face and a security guard whose face was pale from the cold.
Outside, the weather was calm, and both the house and the vegetation were in good condition, without any signs of burns. It was as if the entire night they had experienced was an illusion.
The security guy saw the door open and squeezed in: "Let me in, I'm freezing to death."
Lu Jiamu noticed a thick pile of ashes at the door. The security guard kicked it apart when he came in, and the ashes flew all over the sky.
The village chief yawned and said, "Well, if you don't have anything else to do, I'll go back to sleep."
"Wait!" Xiao Liang looked at the peaceful scene outside and called the village chief in confusion, "What exactly is the underground fire?"
The village chief also seemed confused, not understanding why she asked the same question so many times: "It's the fire coming out of the ground."
Xiao Liang still couldn't believe that they were talking about the same thing, and asked repeatedly: "Then can you describe it?"
The village chief recalled in a daze, and it seemed a bit strenuous: "It's fire, fire, fire... ho... ho..."
His face looked grim in the dim light outside, as if he was staring at them, and his eyelids began to spasm as he spoke indistinctly.
Lu Jiamu immediately stepped forward and inserted himself between Xiao Liang and the door, interrupting Xiao Liang's question and saying with a smile, "Village Chief, please go back and have a rest. We are all right here."
The village chief nodded silently, turned and left, walking into the night.
Lu Jiamu closed the door gently.
Xiao Liang still couldn't understand why he had seen such a big fire before, but now it seemed as if there was no fire outside at all.
Although she is a person who advocates science very much and believes that everything has a scientific explanation, she still muttered in confusion: "There is something wrong with this village..."
Everyone present could sense that something was wrong, but the security guy just climbed onto the bed and said, "What could be wrong?"
Lu Jiamu came back from the door and clasped his hands together: "Such a strange thing is absolutely unique. It is our chance. If we can find out the principle behind it, we will be famous as soon as this program is made."
Following his words, Xiao Liang also had similar thoughts. The fear in his heart caused by facing abnormal phenomena disappeared a lot along with his utilitarianism.
"Yes... wait until daybreak and we'll go check on the camera."
Although Xiao Liang and the others were still immersed in the fear of the night, after calming down for a moment, they were ready to take a nap without any hesitation.
The few people here looked at each other silently, and they all saw the vigilance in each other's eyes. No matter what was set on fire and screamed outside last night, they had decided not to be alone with the security guy anymore.
After waiting patiently until dawn, the group got up, left the house, and found the well.
The camera was still safely placed in a hidden corner near the well and was not affected by the fire at night.
Xiao Liang picked up the camera, took out the memory card, inserted it into his laptop, and read the video inside.
The night vision camera presents a simple black and white image after dark, monotonously capturing the deserted well.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual, Xiao Liang started watching the video at double speed.
Because no one came to fetch water after dark, so at double the speed, the whole picture looked like a static picture except for the occasional movement of the grass and trees.
When the video is about one-third of the way through, a constantly twisting white color suddenly rises up in the picture, covering the entire field of vision.
It was the fire at night, and I didn't expect it would affect this place. I just don't know why this camera was spared.
The camera didn't have recording function turned on, and all I could see was the entire screen filled with distorted white, blocking the well.
Xiao Liang slid the mouse and started fast forwarding, jumping to the time period when the flames ended and the picture returned to normal.
A pair of hands covered with hair stretched out from the dilapidated well. Something grabbed the edge of the well and climbed up little by little. Xiao Liang immediately returned the video to double speed.
The images recorded by the camera began to freeze and show snow, becoming unclear.
A few seconds later, a large swollen human face appeared on the screen, already very close.
During the few seconds when the video was stuck, it actually crawled out of the waterscape and discovered the camera in the corner.
It stared at them with its pale dead fish eyes, its gaze meeting theirs through the screen, its face grim and its gaping mouth opening and closing continuously.
Before it crawls out completely, it looks like Sadako, but once it crawls out, you will find that Sadako is actually a beauty. However, it is not only ugly in appearance, but also very ferocious.
It looks like it's about to rush out of the screen and bite someone to death.
If you watch Sadako's videotape, she will find you. So if you watch this strange thing, will it also crawl out of the screen?
Since Wang Biao and others had already seen the other party once in advance, they would not be too panicked when seeing them again.
But Xiao Liang was frightened by the scene. He screamed and almost threw the computer away.
She immediately turned around and stared at the well behind her.
Is that thing still in there?
Lu Jiamu patted her shoulder with a smile on his face and sincerely comforted her: "This is simply a village water monster, just like the lake monster. But don't worry, there are many of us, and it's just one."
The security guy also waved his arms, trying to show off his muscles: "Yes, if it dares to come out, I will punch it to death."
"Maybe he's some degenerate savage who ran out of the mountains and didn't want to be caught by the villagers, so he hid in the well."
As Lu Jiamu spoke, he fixed his eyes on the strange black and white face on the screen.
At first glance, the monster appears to be opening its bloody mouth towards the camera, trying to bite something.
But if you look closely, you can see that it's probably just because its mouth is abnormally large. It seems to just want to make some sound.
Lu Jiamu squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, trying to read its lips from its twisted big mouth.
After a moment, Lu Jiamu realized that if it wasn't just trying to make a meaningless roar, it might just be shouting one word over and over again: Run! Run!
