Paintings of Terror

Everyone moved away from the window in an instant, and subconsciously gathered around Mu Yiran, as if this was the safest place.

Mu Yiran, who was surrounded by "watertight": ...

"Which photo did you take and found the problem?" Ke Xun felt that he was squeezed out of the "teammate circle" by the big guy Cao Youning, so he simply asked the photographer directly, "Why did I hear the 'click' sound in the first photo?" , faster than the second one?"

Mai Peng tried his best to maintain his composure: "Yes, the shutter speed of the first shot is faster than the second one. The first shot is a test shot, so I chose the commonly used 1/250 second, which is suitable for shooting in normal action. I felt that my hand felt pretty good when I was shooting, so I decided to try to slow it down. In fact, it is best to use a slow speed for shooting night scenes. I tried 1/30 second, and I think this speed should be barely enough. Bear the error caused by my shaking hands."

Mai Peng paused, and then continued: "Only when I took the first picture, I saw the two bright spots by the window. Although the second picture has changed its position, the window is still within the viewfinder range. It's a pity that I felt very uncomfortable when I took the picture. Bright, eyes are a little dazzled, and I didn't have time to see anything."

Ke Xun thought for a while, and made a bold proposal: "There is one last film left, do you dare to take pictures outside?"

Mai Peng: "Outside the door?"

Ke Xun stood up and walked to Mai Peng: "Yes, let's open the door a crack and point the camera at the corridor outside to take a picture. I'll accompany you."

Mai Peng felt that his hand holding the camera was sweating, wiped it on his cotton robe, and then held the camera steady again: "Okay, I'll try."

No one else in the room spoke anymore. Even though they thought it was a risky thing, clues were often obtained from dangers, and entering a painting itself was an adventurous process.

Ke Xun accompanied Mai Peng to the door, and gently opened the latch that fastened the door. The darkness outside was like a thick fog, which could blacken the whole room at any time.

"I'm standing against the door, try not to lean out, just take pictures at the crack of the door." Ke Xun stood behind the door, controlling the crack of the door to the width of a camera lens, "Let's shoot."

Mai Peng took a deep breath, feeling that Ke Xun's tone made him feel more at ease. He held the camera to steady his mind, and quickly finished shooting. Perhaps Mai Peng didn't turn on the flash because he was afraid of disturbing people outside or something. ——Some things should be photographed even without the flash.

Ke Xun pulled Mai Peng back to the room, quickly closed the door and put the latch on: "Did you find anything new about the one just now?"

Mai Peng was a little ashamed: "I didn't dare to look at it. Besides, it was dark outside, so I couldn't see anything. I just adjusted the appropriate aperture distance. I was afraid that my hands would shake, so I adjusted the speed to 1/60 second."

"It went well just now," Ke Xun La Maipeng returned to the table, and found that the other party's hands were already a little cold, "The next step is to wash the film."

Several newcomers began to prepare for developing the film with all their hands and feet. Under the command of Mai Peng and Xi Shengnan, the few newcomers gradually had a clear division of labor and proceeded in an orderly manner.

The old members were clapping hands aside, and after about an hour, the roll of film was finally fixed and could be taken out of the developing tank.

Everyone turned on the lights of their phones, and Xinchun leaned over to take a look with bright eyes.

"Very successful, even more successful than expected." Mai Peng slowly unwrapped the film, and scanned the pictures one by one with focused eyes, "The room temperature here is too low, so the grains of the images are too large. By controlling the water temperature And time, can only guarantee basic clarity."

Du Lingyu couldn't help but said: "It's already against the sky to be able to produce such a negative film in this environment."

Most of the people didn't speak, but just stared at the patterns on the film in Mai Peng's hand, frame by frame, each frame was like a small world, leaving an eternal light and shadow.

Because it was Lu Heng's film, he looked at it very seriously: "The one in front was taken by us on the mountain. Looking back, the road, yes, and further back, the sunset, yes, the night view of the city, that's right. What I took before I entered the painting was last night’s night scene.”

This sentence sounds very bleak.

Everyone has no time to talk about desolation now, fourteen pairs of eyes (including Xinchun) are staring at the slowly unfolding city night scene for a moment, more than a dozen night scenes are slowly passing by, and finally what is shown in front of everyone is a picture Night view of TV tower building.

"This is the last one, and it was added to the painting later." Lu Heng's voice was a little weak.

The next picture - Du Lingyu couldn't help screaming first, then covered her mouth tightly with her hands, and hid behind Cao Youning. Cao Youning's condition was not good either, her fat body was slightly Trembling: "What is this? Oh my god... this woman is terrible."

The whole picture is light gray, which seems to be indoors. The shadow of a dark gray woman seems to be running, because the picture is too small to see clearly.

Fang Fei stared at the screen for a long time: "I think this is the second floor of the Lantern Brigade. Let's go to see the place where the deceased is flawed today. I remember these wooden pillars very clearly, and the overall layout is basically the same."

Lu Heng was in a bad mood, trembling for a long time and couldn't say a word: "I, yes, I, I took the photo at this location, Ke Ke Ke Ke, there were many people when I took the picture, and the deceased was Gai Lying there with a white cloth! You, you were all there at the time, you all saw it!"

Wei Dong patted Lu Heng on the shoulder: "Yes, this is where we were standing at that time. There were two pillars in front, and they were full of people at that time... But why did the photo look like this? Who is this woman? What is she running for?" ? This is simply too weird."

"The woman seems to be running very fast, she's completely gone, like a gray shadow," Qin Ci also expressed his opinion, "I can only vaguely tell that it's a woman from the hairstyle."

It took a long time for Lu Heng to say: "It's easy to explain the blurred figure, because the speed I used was very slow at that time, only 1/16 second. I originally planned to take pictures of the corpse..." At this point, he looked at Xi Shengnan beside him, and the other party She patted the back of his hand, as if she wanted to comfort him too.

Mai Peng took over the words: "If the speed is so slow, then this figure is actually not moving fast. Judging from the degree of blur, this person's speed is actually slower than the walking speed of ordinary people."

The analysis eventually came to a dead end.

"Continue to look back." Mu Yiran broke the silence.

"Okay." Mai Peng continued to unroll the film, and the next photo was of this room. The whole photo was whitish, maybe because the room was too dark at that time, but the two black spots by the window were exceptionally clear. , that should be two extremely bright points.

"Woo..." Xinchun seemed to be frightened, and ran directly from the table to the bed, and then to the window, as if she wanted to find the shadow dog that "imitated" herself in the photo.

Shao Ling looked at it carefully for a long time: "When the photo was taken, all of us sat apart, why is there almost no one in the photo?"

Mai Peng also found it strange: "I took the photo from the side of the bed towards the window, and many people were sitting there, especially Cao Youning, who was clearly lying on the bed and wanted to sleep...why, why did everyone Missing?"

"Continue to look at the next picture." Mu Yiran said.

In the next picture, the entire image is blackened, much darker than the previous one, and a large group of people are gathered around the table without knowing what they are doing. ——Obviously, this photo is brighter, and the definition is relatively higher.

Ke Xun's eyes are good, and he looked carefully for a long time: "Why do I feel that this group of people seems to be..."

"I'm eating." Zhu Haowen finished what he wanted to say for Ke Xun.

After hearing this, Du Lingyu curled up behind Cao Youning: "I can't take it anymore, this is too outrageous and weird."

Zhu Haowen frowned and looked at it for a while: "The person at the table is waving a big spherical thing in his hand, what is that?"

"This one also has Xinchun," Luo Kuo noticed a dog beside the table, "The eyes are not so bright, but Xinchun seems to be eating something too, there is a big pile, my God, what is it eating..."

"Look at the last one." Mu Yiran said.

Mai Peng felt that he had completely stopped thinking, and now he could only execute orders mechanically. He moved the film roll in his hand stiffly, and showed the last picture. Half of the last picture was pure black, as if the picture was only half. .

Everyone has made enough mental preparations, and everyone remembers what was taken in this last photo - it was the one taken by Ke Xun and Mai Peng facing the corridor from the crack of the door, who knows what will appear in it.

Mai Peng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with one hand: "I can explain half of the image. Although the film is 36, but because the whole camera has been restored to an old-fashioned camera, the film has also become the original film. I was washing the film just now. I found out that this roll of film was manually wound out of a large black and white roll, and it can be seen from the trimmed shape at the top that it was manually trimmed.”

"What do you mean? No, I don't quite understand." Wei Dong asked.

"That is to say, the film wound by yourself may not be strictly 36 sheets. People with tight hands may wind up 37 sheets, and those with loose hands may only have 35 sheets. This roll is loose, so it is only 35 and a half sheets, so The last picture we saw was only half of it."

"Oh..." Wei Dong also wiped the sweat from his brow, "I thought there was only half of the world left outside the door."

Even though only half of the photo is left, the level of horror is beyond people's expectations.

The negative film is gray, not as white as imagined, and the contrast is clearer. Everyone can immediately tell that this place is the wooden corridor at the door. The scary thing is that there is a very close figure standing at the door, that is, The place facing the crack of the door, because there is only half of the picture, so there is only half of the figure. Because of the backlight, it looks very white on the negative film, but the facial features cannot be seen clearly. There are two black spots on the left chest of the figure. point.

"Oh my God..." Mai Peng's hands trembled, "Could it be that when we were taking pictures outside, there was someone outside?! And this person seemed to be walking in! And he was so close to the camera! Could it be that he Are you in the room now?"

It is difficult for the crowd to remain calm at such a time, and they try their best to get close together, for fear that the figure who "sneaked in" along the crack of the door will suddenly attack.

Du Lingyu completely blocked his ears, and didn't dare to listen any more.

Fang Fei squinted her eyes and stared at the negative for a while: "The black spots on this person's left chest and left arm should be two very bright spots in reality. Why do I think this person seems to be holding something? It seems to be an animal with eyes as bright as Xinchun."
