Ring of Seven [Publication Edition]

"Ding Ling! Ding Ling!"

Just when Zhou Jue and others saw the critical moment, they were interrupted again.Everyone looked up, Chen Hao signaled everyone to stop first, and he went to open the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he found that it was none other than Feng Laojiu.He was holding a package in his hand, and he might be in a hurry to walk up the stairs, looking out of breath.Chen Hao calmly let Feng Laojiu into the room, Feng Laojiu exchanged polite greetings, found that Zhou Jue, Fat San and Shouhou were all there, so he walked up to them and said, "I guess you are here, Call Zhou Jue's house, your mother said that she hasn't seen your shadow early in the morning. Let's not talk about this, I'm here to deliver something to you. "

After being reminded by Chen Hao, everyone knows that this old nine is a master of lying, and his acting skills have reached the level of a movie king.So although everyone didn't show much repulsion on their faces, none of them showed vigilance in their eyes.

A trace of weirdness flashed in Feng Laojiu's eyes, but he still said flatly: "I just received a courier, the addressee is Zhou Jue, from Nanjing, and there is a note saying it is very urgent, so I just run."

Zhou Jue said: "This is too strange, why is it a courier from Nanjing?"

Feng Laojiu took out a courier hard paper bag from his bag and handed it to Zhou Jue. Zhou Jue found that the courier had been opened, so he glanced at Feng Laojiu.Feng Laojiu admitted that he opened it, and explained: "I'm sorry, because the note is attached to the package, I can only open it first."

Zhou Jue waved his hand to tell Feng Laojiu not to continue talking. He took out the contents and found some old-fashioned film rolls and four boards wrapped with old newspapers. In addition, there was a piece of paper on which it was written: "So far , all the information has been delivered, the appointment of seven people, don't forget."

Zhou Jue handed the piece of paper to Chen Hao and the others. Chen Hao looked at the handwriting on the paper and said, "This... this handwriting belongs to my sister."

Zhou Jue questioned: "Could it be that your sister is not dead?"

Chen Hao shook his head and said, "I don't know..."

Fat San finally caught a chance to speak, and he asked cautiously, "It doesn't matter who wrote this, it says that all our information has arrived? What does this mean? This Stuff is all there is to information?"

Chen Hao put down the piece of paper, glanced at Feng Laojiu, and said, "When did you receive this courier?"

Feng Laojiu said: "In the morning, I went to the guard to get my reference materials, and saw that there was such a courier next to the reference materials, so I took them back together."

Zhou Jue looked at Chen Hao, and Chen Hao nodded calmly, as if he accepted this explanation, but Zhou Jue knew very well that there must be something wrong with Feng Laojiu, and he must have something to do with "Ring of Seven". .

Chen Hao picked up the film and looked at it. Although the film is not as good as the photo, it can roughly see some shadows.He found that there were people and scenery in these photos, if they were not taken from Feng Laojiu, they would probably be similar to this kind of scenery photos.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Feng Laojiu said, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back. I still have papers to write."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Chen Hao stopped him and said, "Student Feng, we have a book here. Are you interested in reading it together?"

Feng Laojiu turned around and looked at Chen Hao. The moment he turned around, Zhou Jue noticed a hint of sinister flashing in Feng Laojiu's eyes. This feeling was something that Feng Laojiu never had in the past, but it was too inconspicuous So much so that Zhou Jue thought it was just his hallucination.

Feng Laojiu said with a smile: "I'm really in a hurry, next time."

Chen Hao didn't listen to Feng Laojiu, picked up the "Ring of Seven" from the desk, and threw it at Feng Laojiu.Zhou Jue's heart tightened. Fortunately, the book was thick enough, otherwise he would have turned it into straw paper if he threw it like an Indian pancake.

Feng Laojiu didn't expect that the "book" would come flying across, and subconsciously took it with his hand, his expression was very surprised and a little angry.

Chen Hao crossed his fingers and propped his chin, and said, "You are familiar with this book, right?"

Feng Laojiu replied: "No, it's the first time I saw it, and I only heard about it from the second child."

Chen Hao glanced at him meaningfully, then turned to Zhou Jue and said, "Where did we see?"

Zhou Jue was taken aback, and recalled: "Well, we saw Lin Xu and the others met a newcomer, and then entered the secret room together. There was a dead man wearing the same shroud as them in the secret room."

Chen Hao covered his mouth for a long time before saying: "Everyone has not been interrupted after watching for so long, but there must be something or someone to interrupt us when we see the key points, making us stay at a certain point, and then strange things will happen. According to the plot variation in the book..."

Zhou Jue nodded and said, "That's right, if it is said to be man-made, it is a logical error according to the theory of probability. If there is a specific supernatural power, then..."

Chen Hao said: "If these things are really left by Rulan, then so much information has been collected in her hands. Although I know she is capable, but so many things cannot be accomplished by her alone. , there must be someone with her, that is to say, she must have other helpers among the seven people of that generation."

Zhou Jue felt that he had grasped the meaning of Chen Hao's words: "You mean... there are people around Chen Rulan, so why did she still fail? Could it be that these things in our hands are not enough?"

Chen Hao shook his head, his brows were tightly furrowed: "It can only explain one problem. They must be very close to the truth, but they are still one step away, and all previous efforts have been wasted. That step is critical!"

Fat San couldn't sit still when he heard this, he interjected: "Well, doesn't that mean we have many factors we can't know?"

Chen Hao nodded, and continued: "That's right, but don't forget that we got Rulan's clues for free, and continued on her basis, so we took advantage."

Zhou Jue understood: "You mean, we can use these things to simulate what Chen Rulan encountered..."

Chen Hao snapped his fingers, nodded and said, "Smart!"

The two suddenly found that they were too absorbed in thinking, and the people around them were looking at them with very strange eyes, so their expressions were also very awkward, and they each coughed and avoided looking.Chen Hao noticed that Zhou Jue's ears were a little red.

Fat San shrugged his shoulders meaningfully, and the thin monkey who had been silent all this time also showed a little excitement at this time, because at least after this analysis, they felt that they had seized the opportunity one step earlier than the ghosts in this book, He urged everyone to continue to return to the topic.

At that time, Feng Laojiu, who had been holding the book, had put down the book silently, and the thin monkey glanced behind Feng Laojiu inadvertently. In fact, he had been paying attention to Feng Laojiu's expression.He found that the black cat had been lying on the ground less than three steps away from Feng Laojiu's feet at some point, and its movements were very strange. It cocked its tail and crawled on the ground, the hair on its body stood up, but It didn't bark, but stared at it like a dumb cat with long fur.

Feng Laojiu was also staring at the cat from the corner of his eyes. When he noticed that the thin monkey was looking at him, he quickly looked down at the book in his hand.But the thin monkey found that he hadn't opened the book.

Chen Hao also noticed these subtle movements of Feng Laojiu. He smiled and said: "So, Feng, after hearing this, are you interested in reading this book together? This book is related to the lives of three of your friends. Maybe it concerns you too."

For some unknown reason, Feng Laojiu pondered for a long time with a sullen face before raising his head and saying, "This...it's okay."

Fat San saw the thoughtful expressions on everyone's faces, you looked at me, I looked at you, but no one spoke again, he said: "Then, should we continue reading? Don't stop."

Feng Laojiu stopped and said, "Let's look at the films first. If it's really what Mr. Chen said, then we should grasp the clues we have already..."

Fat San showed a distrustful expression before he finished speaking, Zhou Jue said at this time: "I agree with Lao Jiu, these films come from unclear sources, we should look at the clues first."

The existing clues, apart from the weird novel, there is also a bag of film that I don't know if it can be developed.These two things are very attractive, and have different kinds of temptations.

So the troops were divided into two groups, Chen Hao and Fat San went to develop the photos, while Zhou Jue, Shouhou and Feng Laojiu stayed and read the book, don't let it disappear again.In fact, what Zhou Jue and Shouhou have to do is not only to read this book, but also to monitor Feng Laojiu's hidden task.

Zhou Jue hugged the cat and sat opposite Feng Laojiu, and the thin monkey leaned against the cabinet with his arms folded.Feng Laojiu's eyes were always wandering, he looked at the book for a while, and looked at the cat in Zhou Jue's arms for a while.The black cat never barked after Feng Laojiu came. It looked at Feng Laojiu vigilantly, like a first-class scout.

In order not to freeze the atmosphere too much, Zhou Jue smirked and said, "I don't know what will be in that photo."

Feng Laojiu shook his head, and the thin monkey kept silent, just looking down at his toes.Feng Laojiu said: "What do you think this book will bring to you?"

Zhou Jue felt that the words were pun intended, so he glanced at Feng Laojiu, Feng Laojiu was very calm, this calmness made Zhou Jue slightly weaken his taboo towards him, he replied: "Haha, I don't know, maybe it will Let's uncover some great secret."

Lao Jiu laughed, but didn't answer Zhou Jue's words. After a while, he stood up slowly, and the thin monkey also changed his standing posture. He looked at Feng Lao Jiu vigilantly. Zhou Jue felt that the thin monkey's surveillance was too explicit Yes, waved to him.Feng Laojiu went to the toilet, closed the door, and the thin monkey resumed its original posture leaning against the wall, but stared at the toilet.

Zhou Jue said to Shouhou in a low voice: "Shouhou, don't be too explicit, loosen the outside and tighten the inside, don't arouse his fear."

The thin monkey shook his head and said, "No, he doesn't care about our eyes at all. He must have his purpose when he comes back."

Zhou Jue understands what Shouhou means, but he doesn't want to get along with Feng Laojiu in this way. If he can choose to believe him, this kind of person has a slight Stockholm syndrome to some extent.

The thin monkey said, but he still nodded and went to Zhou Jue's side.Feng Laojiu came out of the toilet, looked at the clock and said, "Haven't they come back yet?"

Zhou Jue said: "It won't be so fast. Since the advent of digital cameras, many places to process film have disappeared."

Feng Laojiu snorted, and then lost interest in it.And the black cat that was sleeping on the chair came to his feet at this time, wrapped its tail tightly around his feet.

While Zhou Jue and the others were waiting anxiously, Chen Hao and Fat San were busy looking for a place to develop photos all over the street.Just as Zhou Jue guessed, they asked many shops. With the advanced digital technology today, most of the people who develop photos have changed their skills to print small business cards.

Fat San walked for more than an hour, and was already so tired that he almost dragged his feet. He waved to Chen Hao who only cared about walking forward.Chen Hao stopped very unsympathetically, and Fat San wiped the sweat from his neck while talking: "We have almost turned around and found nothing, I think, let's go back first, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Chen Hao shook his head and said, "No, this information is very important, and it must be washed out today."

Fat San felt that this person had serious obsessive-compulsive disorder, but he couldn't hold him back.When he was about to resign himself to his fate and continue walking, Chen Hao suddenly stopped and did not leave. Fat San thought he had changed his mind, but the facts proved that almost every wish of Comrade Fat San would never come true.Chen Hao reached out to stop a taxi, and then said to Fat San: "I guess I can't find it here, follow me, I know where it is."

Speaking of which, Chen Hao dragged Fat San into the car, the driver stepped on the accelerator, and went straight to the other side of the Huangpu River, and then followed Chen Hao's instructions to drive into the old city at seven turns, until the driver really couldn't drive in. Only then did Chen Hao get out of the car and walk.

Chen Hao walked into an alley called Dexingli familiarly. He opened a door full of iron fans and got in from the outside.Fat San followed him through a path without street lights and said, "Where are you taking me? An underground casino?"

Chen Hao said: "Have you never lived in this kind of alley? I used to live here, and I know there is a photo studio here, which is no longer open to the public, but the uncle still likes to take pictures with old-fashioned cameras, and then develop them. "

Fat San huffed for a long time: "You know there is this place, why didn't you go straight here at first?"

Chen Hao sneered, and pushed open the last wooden door, a ray of sunlight shone into the dim room, and the sound of mice came from inside.Fat San immediately smelled a very unpleasant smell, besides the musty smell, there was also a smell of potion, mixed together, it was a bit like the smell of some kind of vegetable going bad.Fat San looked up, and found an old man's face appeared in the weak light. The face was so pale that it was almost made of wax, and his eyes were gloomy and cloudy.Most importantly, he discovered that this old man had no body!

He stepped back in fright, his feet were caught by the threshold, and he sat down on the ground.Chen Hao said calmly: "The old man used to be a shop dedicated to taking registration photos for people, and of course he also took portraits of dying people. This photo was taken by him, and it is also the one he is most satisfied with, so Use it as a sign."

Fat San shook the fat on his face and said, "Put... put your own photo on the door beam? Isn't this a pervert!"

Chen Hao ignored him, but walked into the house, and he shouted to the dark back room: "Uncle Yin, are you there?"

As soon as the voice fell, there was the sound of slow footsteps in the dark passage, followed by a voice of yin and yang that could not tell the difference between male and female: "Who is it?"

Fat San was frightened out of his wits by the sudden voice, he glared at Chen Hao, and Chen Hao showed a smile of "now you know why you didn't come in the first place".It was the first time that Fat San felt what kind of a person even Zhou Jue found troublesome. Without any mental preparation, Fat San's heart had stopped suddenly at least twice.

Chen Hao said to the darkness: "It's me, Ah Hao, who came to ask you for help."

Finally that Uncle Yin came to the door, his face was exactly the same as the face in the posthumous photo.Fat San opened his mouth wide, and his heart went into cardiac arrest for the third time.Uncle Yin looked at Fat San's face darkly, then snorted and said, "Who is this little fat man?"

Chen Hao smiled and said, "It's my student."

Fat San found out that Uncle Yin was a cripple, no wonder it took him so long to get out.He limped to the door, then found a greasy pull cord in the dark, and turned on the light bulb in the room.It was a forty-watt light bulb, and the light bulb was covered with grease, so the lighting power was quite weakened.

Only then did Fat San discover that there are all kinds of posthumous photos hanging here, some in black and white, some in color, and the colored ones are black and white and then colored. This is the most weird, almost like taking ghost photos.

Uncle Yin pointed to a bench in the corner and said, "Sit down, I'll pour water for you."

Afterwards, Uncle Yin brought two enamel cups from the back room and handed them to them.Fat San discovered that the tea leaves in this cup could no longer be called tea leaves, and the Tangmen poison in martial arts movies is probably in this form.He didn't dare to drink, he squinted at Chen Hao, Chen Hao didn't dare to drink either, he just put on a show.

After Chen Hao politely "drank" a sip of tea, he said to Uncle Yin: "Master, can you help us develop some photos, we are in a hurry."

Uncle Yin hummed.Chen Hao took out the rolls of film from his bag and said, "That's it."

Uncle Yin pulled it out, looked at it and said, "Come and pick it up tomorrow afternoon."

Chen Hao frowned and said, "Can't it be done right away? Uncle Yin, we are really in a hurry."

Uncle Yin looked at Chen Hao and said, "What's wrong with this photo?"

Chen Hao lowered his voice and said seriously: "It is related to my sister's whereabouts."

Uncle Yin was taken aback, and asked, "Where is Ru Lan? This is a big deal."

Chen Hao nodded and said: "Yes, so no matter what, please do me a favor and get out quickly."

Uncle Yin took out a pack of "Daqianmen" from his trouser pocket, lit it and said, "OK, I'll wash it out for you right away."

After speaking, Uncle Yin walked into the back room with those films.

Chen Hao said to Fat San: "You go back first, tell Zhou Jue and the others, I will go back and have a round with them as soon as I get the photo."

Fat San said with a look of embarrassment: "I want to too, but I don't have the money to take a taxi back."

Chen Hao reluctantly took out the wallet from his pocket, then gave him a red note and said, "That's enough, let them go home after you go back, I can't live with so many people there. If the skinny monkey really has no place to live , but you can live with me."

Fat San left the room with a sigh of relief, and when he turned to leave, Uncle Yin came out of the room, wearing a blue overalls.He looked at Chen Hao gloomily, then frowned and said, "The incident five years ago was finally happened to you."

Chen Hao froze for a moment, a trace of pain appeared on his indifferent face, he looked at Uncle Yin in disbelief, and asked, "You..."

Uncle Yin's face was buried in the darkness, with no expression visible.Chen Hao didn't expect that he also knew about that matter. From Uncle Yin's tone, he felt that Uncle Yin knew more than he imagined.

Uncle Yin laughed strangely a few times, which sounded like someone choking the old duck's neck and whimpering.Chen Hao wanted to ask, but he didn't.

Uncle Yin said with a smile: "You are very smart. Your sister always praises you. She doesn't want anything to happen to you."

Chen Hao recovered his calm state of mind and replied: "I don't like her having an accident either, but now I just want to know whether she is alive or dead, and what's going on!"

Uncle Yin sighed helplessly, and said: "What should come will always come, you can't escape, your sister just doesn't want you to get involved in this matter, that's why she stopped everything, and at the last moment Saved this information for you, and she wants you to be safe at the end."

Chen Hao smiled wryly and said, "Just like five years ago, many innocent people were involved. I don't know whether it's right or wrong to do so."

Uncle Yin sneered and said, "Do you have a choice? It came to you. But Rulan also said the same thing back then, and it's exactly the same situation as you are now."

Chen Hao scratched his hair, a trace of pain appeared on his handsome face, he said: "I will protect them, what my sister didn't do, I think I can do it."

Uncle Yin took a meaningful look at Chen Hao and said, "You are different from your sister. Your sister doesn't think about other people's lives except you. You really can't do this alone!"

Chen Hao looked at him and said, "I can do it, I trust the people around me."

Uncle Yin sneered: "Then, how much do they believe in you?"

Chen Hao was momentarily at a loss for words, and shook his head helplessly, Zhou Jue's pair of always smiling but very soft eyes flashed in his mind.Chen Hao raised his head and said, "At this point, we can only take one step at a time."

Uncle Yin smiled and smoked. He scratched his gray hair and said, "Your sister also said this, but her expression was too different. Bet, Uncle Yin, I will help you."

Chen Hao opened his mouth, as if he wanted to ask many questions, but in the end he just lowered his head, looked at his hands and said, "Thank you, Uncle Yin."

After speaking, Uncle Yin limped into the darkroom, while Chen Hao still maintained that posture, his face could not be seen clearly in the dim light, Chen Hao murmured: "Will they believe me... can I Who do you trust..."

The noise of children and the crisp ringing of bicycles could be heard in the alley, which reminded Chen Hao of playing with his sister in the alley when he was a child.At that time, my sister often hid in a certain dark place, calling Chen Hao's name softly, but he couldn't find her.In the past five years, he lived in the nightmare brought by that book. On the one hand, he was afraid of Chen Rulan's death, and on the other hand, he was afraid that the book would eventually fall on him.He found that what he was afraid of was becoming a reality one by one. In fact, he was more anxious than any of Zhou Jue and the others.

For Chen Hao, Zhou Jue's trust will make him more uneasy, but there is another voice in his heart, he hopes that Zhou Jue can fully trust himself, because in the end there will definitely be such things as mutual trust between them. The problem.

Chen Hao knew that day would come, but he still didn't want Zhou Jue to be disappointed in him.He still remembered that the first time he saw this kid was during a summer vacation, when he passed by the library that day, he still didn't go in.When he looked up, he saw a person leaning against the window, wearing earphones, dozing off in a corner.Chen Hao could only see his side face, and the sun shone on his hair, showing a kind of halo. At that time, he was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, which felt very clean.He suddenly thought of his missing sister. He often came to this window in the past, and Chen Rulan threw things down to him in order to save him time for studying.As an elder sister, Chen Rulan has very high expectations for Chen Hao. She knows that her brother is a special existence, and she hopes that he can walk a path that she cannot achieve in her life.

"Stick..." When Chen Hao woke up from the dream of the past, he looked down at his watch. It was already 05:30 in the afternoon. There was a purple sunset glow in the sky, and the faint yellow light cast into the pavilion.The piercing sound came from the house opposite who was frying fish, and soon there was a scent.Uncle Yin was still working in the darkroom, and Chen Hao heard the sound of water flowing from the room and Uncle Yin coughing from time to time.

Chen Hao touched his numb cheeks, and called Uncle Yin, Uncle Yin responded, Chen Hao stood up and went outside to walk around.When I went out, I met many old neighbors. Everyone was surprised to see him. He just said to come back to see everyone.Everyone was very excited after not seeing Chen Hao for so long.When an old woman saw Chen Hao, she could hardly close her mouth from ear to ear, and forced him to have a light meal at home, during which he found that they all knew about Chen Rulan, and tried to avoid talking about her in front of him.While chatting after dinner, he asked about Uncle Yin.

Before he finished speaking, the aunt who poured him tea trembled slightly, frowned and said, "Old Yin? He went to his son's place a year ago, and I heard that he died of cancer within a few months. What's the matter? "

Hearing this, Chen Hao's hand holding the cup trembled violently, and quickly stretched his hand under the table.Seeing that his expression changed drastically, the aunt hurriedly asked him what was wrong.Chen Hao thought he couldn't tell her, just now he asked that dead person to develop his photos!

Chen Hao tried his best to control his emotions and asked, "Are you sure about this?"

The aunt let out a huff and said, "Sure, there are still people here who have attended the memorial service, but I didn't go. It is said that the old man was very strange for a while after he moved out, and then died inexplicably. I'm still thinking about your sister, maybe I watched you grow up..." The aunt found herself talking about Chen Rulan, so she stopped quickly.

Chen Hao couldn't control his emotions anymore, his breathing became more and more rapid, he tried to relax himself, finally squeezed out a smile and said: "Grandma, I have something urgent, I will come to see you later." The aunt thought he was doing it for Chen Rulan Feeling sad about what happened, and felt that he had said the wrong thing, he didn't do much to keep Chen Hao away, so he sent Chen Hao out of the house in embarrassment.

As soon as Chen Hao left, he hurried back to Uncle Yin's house, but when he was about to reach the door, his speed slowed down, and he was very puzzled, what went wrong?If Uncle Yin is really dead, then who is in the house?Didn't he die, someone else died?Chen Hao's heart stopped beating for half a second, and he found a problem, why is this situation so similar to Feng Laojiu's!Why do dead people come back to life?What has actually happened?What exactly does it mean?He hesitated for a long time, and finally walked through the iron gate.

It was still pitch black, and it was still the [-]-watt light bulb, but Chen Hao felt a ghostly aura for no reason.He walked into the back room, and there were still those two enamel cups on the table, and the tea in them had long been cold.A strange cold wind poured into the room, Chen Hao suddenly turned around but saw nothing unusual.The size of the room was small, so he soon noticed the darkroom in the innermost room. The door of the darkroom was tightly closed, but there was a faint red light coming out from the crack of the door, giving off a strange feeling.This shows that someone is indeed using that darkroom.

But there was no sound of running water in the room, it was as quiet as an empty room.Chen Hao plucked up his courage and called Uncle Yin, but there was no response from the room.The whole room is full of portraits, and Chen Hao feels that these photos are spying on him.Suddenly there was the sound of turning over a drawer in the darkroom.

Chen Hao felt his heart lift up half a centimeter, and he approached the darkroom step by step with his eyes wide open, trying not to look at the horrifying posthumous photos around him.When he walked to the door, he realized that the door had not been closed, but had a gap open.Chen Hao pushed lightly, and the door creaked open.

The dark red halo made the darkroom look like a haunted house. Just as Chen Hao was about to step in, he suddenly heard the harsh sound of the iron door at the door, as if someone opened the rusty door.Chen Hao turned his head quickly, but he couldn't see the situation outside clearly. The harsh voice scared his back into cold sweat.

But instead of backing away, he entered the room.The furnishings in the room are very messy. A black curtain divides the room into two. There is a rope on the curtain, which is full of unwashed film.

There was a sink on the left side of the room, and he didn't see Uncle Yin's shadow as far as he could see, but it did look like someone had just used it, and there was still a half-used potion bottle on the table.

Finally, Chen Hao fixed his gaze behind the black curtain.At this time, a gust of wind blew from nowhere and lifted a foot of the curtain.Chen Hao saw that there seemed to be something lying on the ground behind the curtain, but the wind only blew for a while, and he hadn't had time to see it clearly.

Chen Hao clenched his fists, walked in front of the black curtain, pulled the curtain, and the scene in front of him made him gasp.There were actually several photos pasted behind the black curtain, and the people in the photos were all dead people lying in coffins without exception, and those dead people were all wearing shrouds of various styles.What made Chen Hao's scalp tingle the most was that the eyes of these dead people were all open.In the pile of photos of dead people, he actually found his sister Chen Rulan's.Chen Rulan was wearing a moon-white shroud, lying upright in a coffin, her eyes wide open.He was so frightened by the pictures that his brain couldn't think, and he stepped back as he looked at them.After taking a few steps back, he found a person behind him blocking him.

He turned around and saw that it was Uncle Yin.Uncle Yin was wearing a black suit, and his neck was tightened by a white shirt collar, and the purple blood vessels on his neck could be seen.He held a very long roll of film in his hand, and his eyes were indescribably cold.Seeing Chen Hao's frightened look, he just sneered.Fortunately, Chen Hao's mental quality is not bad, he only had cold sweat on his forehead, and he didn't faint from fright.

Uncle Yin looked at the photos inside and took a step closer to Chen Hao. Chen Hao felt as cold as if he was in a refrigerator.Uncle Yin snorted, looked at Chen Hao and said, "The photo is finished."

Chen Hao stared at Uncle Yin, and asked: "Uncle Yin, you have actually read that book, right? Just like my sister, you are one of the last batch of seven."

Uncle Yin smiled coldly and said, "That's right, we failed..."

When Chen Hao heard this, his heart seemed to be pulled down by something. He knew that it was impossible for Chen Rulan to still live in this world.Uncle Yin looked at those people lying in the coffin, took out one of the photos and handed it to Chen Hao.Uncle Yin pulled out a weird smile and said, "The people in these photos are the people from the previous group of seven people."

Chen Hao looked down at that person, feeling a little familiar, and soon Chen Hao remembered this person... It turned out to be Old Zhao from the library!Could it be that the previous group of Seven Rings didn't die out?So how did they get involved?

Chen Hao wanted to turn around and ask Uncle Yin, but found that Uncle Yin had disappeared, and there was a paper bag on the table, which was the photos developed from those films.He looked around again, but couldn't find Uncle Yin, so he immediately put all those photos and the photos of the dead on the curtain into his backpack, and rushed out of the darkroom.

He ran to the door, and finally looked back at the room, where there were still red lights interlacing.Under the red light, a figure was reflected.The figure faltered, and he leaned against the door, looking very distressed.Chen Hao hesitated for a few seconds, but decided to look back to understand.At this moment, a painful cry came from the house: "Don't come! My character is finished, it came to collect me...don't let it catch you! Also, your sister...ah, go away !" Chen Hao felt that Uncle Yin seemed to be grabbing something desperately, and that thing couldn't see what it was because it was hiding in the shadows.

Chen Hao still rushed in, and a rotten smell hit his face, which was very disgusting.Uncle Yin's figure had disappeared, and then Chen Hao found the photo of Uncle Yin's signboard - at this moment, his appearance in the photo changed completely.The originally gloomy and dull eyes became terrified, black and red blood flowed from the seven orifices, and he opened his mouth wide as if to roar out.Chen Hao gasped. He found that behind the gray background of the photo, a shadow of a human face was gradually reflected. That face seemed to be smiling, but at the same time it seemed to be roaring in pain.

Chen Hao called Uncle Yin a few times, but no one answered, and he was nowhere to be found, and the smell of blood was stronger than before. Chen Hao had no choice but to run outside.

At this time, the sky was already a little dark, and there were only a few flickering street lights in the alley.Chen Hao felt that the bloody smell seemed to catch up with him, as if an invisible hand wanted to capture him. At this time, his body felt very heavy, but his brain was very clear.His mind reflected the bits and pieces of the past five years, he felt a splitting headache, and unconsciously slowed down.He looked down and found a shadow following him all the time, but when he looked back, there was nothing, he knew he was being targeted and he couldn't escape.His mind went blank and he closed his eyes, feeling himself sinking slowly.

Just when he felt that his whole body was surrounded by that foul smell, he heard a sharp meow, and then he felt the heavy weight on his body slowly lighten, and his consciousness finally returned.He opened his eyes and found Zhou Jue suddenly standing in front of him, he stretched out his hand to hold Zhou Jue's arm, trying to find a support.

Zhou Jue said nervously, "What's going on? Why is there such a heavy smell of blood behind you?"

Chen Hao finally came to his senses, he let go of Zhou Jue, waved his hands and said, "Go back first, the black cat saved my life."

Zhou Jue asked, "What about the photo?"

Chen Hao patted his backpack and said, "Yes, and there are unexpected things."

Zhou Jue frowned and said, "The unexpected harvest you mentioned is that weird thing in front?"

Chen Hao shook his head with a wry smile, and asked back: "You are being humorous. By the way, why are you here?"

Zhou Jue's eyes were a little embarrassed, he looked away and said: "Fat San let you act alone, I think it's too hasty, so I rushed over to take a look, I didn't expect that I really guessed it."

Chen Hao smiled lightly and said, "Stop talking, let's go."

Back at Chen Hao's residence, the thin monkey was stunned when he saw the two of them returning home in a state of embarrassment.
