Chapter 6 The Truth

On that day, the horror films they watched were "The Dead Man", "The Shadow Demon", "The Eye", "The Ringtone of Death", "The Arrival", "The Butterfly Transformation" and "The Well Without Bottom".

When they finished listening to their memories and confirmed that they were correct, Ajing raised a question.

"How long have you been in Tu Bingzong's family that day?"

Yuan Xiu remembers that when she arrived at Bingzong's family, it was almost five o'clock, and when she left, it was about eight o'clock. Not long after she arrived, she started playing "The Dead Man" not long after she arrived. Assuming that it was five o'clock at that time, it would take about three hours from the first movie to the end of the seventh movie.

After thinking about this, even she felt incredible. She didn't pay attention to this problem at the time, but now she thinks about it... can she watch seven movies that are played at normal speed in three hours?

Although "Shadow Demon" ended halfway, she recalled carefully that the playback time of each movie was about one and a half hours, and there was no fast forward when it was played. Even if "Shadow Demon" only played for forty-five minutes, the time it took to watch these seven movies should be nine hours plus forty-five minutes, which almost took half a day. How could it be possible to finish three hours?

What's amazing is that when she started watching movies, she never thought about looking at the watch once, nor did she feel that time was long, it seemed that three hours had passed.

A Jing has always been very rigorous in her style. She immediately logged on to the official website of the seven movies and checked the specific lengths. Moreover, she also considered whether there were any deleted clips. These seven movies are all horror movies, and it is normal for them to be deleted. Now some movies also have director editing versions, extended versions, etc. Because those discs were also burned as relics, they can only distinguish them one by one based on their memories.

Finally, it is impossible to make sure that the correct playback time of these seven movies is no less than eight hours.

"Are you sure you left at 8 o'clock?" A Jing asked Yuan Xiu for caution. Zili also replied that he remembered that he had seen his watch when he left, and it was indeed eight o'clock. And there was also evidence that when Yuan Xiu returned home, it was nine o'clock. When he turned on the TV, it happened to be the evening news broadcast on time at 9 o'clock every night. There was also an exact time mark above the TV screen. It really took about an hour to calculate the distance between her family and Bingzong's family and the means of transportation she chose at that time. In other words...

The nine of them actually took three hours to watch seven horror movies that took at least eight hours to watch!

In addition, there is another problem.

There were nine people who gathered together to watch horror movies that day, and eight of them were removed from Bingzong's words, and he found these eight people. Although they talked that day, because they were watching movies most of the time, they did not talk too much about the other party's identity. There were a few people that Yuan Xiu could not remember. The only ones she could recognize were Nan Rentian and Zhao Ji, while Han Ning and another person were unable to find them. Although she still remembered Han Ning, she did not know her address. After Bingzong's death, his parents burned all his relics in order to avoid seeing the things. So to find out their identities, they had to go to their alma mater to check.

Because Ajing still needed to continue her research, Runanan asked Yuan Xiu and Zili to go back to their original university. In any case, she had to find the last person, after all, she had to check the list of graduates for that year, and there should be detailed information on it. Of course, if she moved after graduation, it would be difficult to find it again. Han Ning is a taciturn person who is comparable to Zhong Zili, so no one has her mobile phone number.

However, Bingzong's death has been published in the newspaper. No matter what, it should be for the funeral? Or at least I can come to comfort me. The same is true for the other person. Could it be that these two people don't like to read newspapers?

Yuanxiu was the former vice chairman of the student union. The current chairman also knew her at the beginning, so she easily entered the ********* storage room.

The current chairman took out the information from the year they graduated, opened it and looked at it. Yuanxiu quickly found Han Ning's specific information from it, which recorded her home address, so he immediately recorded it on his mobile phone. The next thing was to find another person, but he looked at all the photos of everyone in the class that year, and both Yuanxiu and Zili felt that the person was not here.

"Have you all forgotten?" Runan asked simply: "At least remember the gender, right?"

"At that time, so many people gathered together. If it weren't for the unusual person, no one would have paid attention to that person." Yuan Xiu began to think hard, but what flashed through his mind was the Bingzong, Zili and Feng Hui's face, and he could not think of a strange face. So, even the other party was a man or a woman.

The current chairman simply let the three of them stay in the archives room and went out by himself. After moving a chair and sitting down, Run looked at the two of them thinking hard and asked: "Well... can they not be from the same class? Maybe they are from the same department. Maybe they are from different departments. Since you don't know that person, I think this possibility is not small."

"Well... makes sense." Yuan Xiu began to look through the photos of graduates from other departments and identified them one by one. However, after looking at them, she and Zili continued to shake their heads. "Forget it... it's a waste of time." Runanan took the information of graduates of that year, quickly flipped through the first page, and quickly finished reading the whole book, and then said: "Actually, Ajing also missed a little. I have only recently discovered the new ability of this ghost eye. As long as I have seen the image, it can emerge from my mind at any time. When this person dies, his appearance and name will match the memory preserved in my mind. At that time, I will go to his address that I have already remembered to find him. That's fine."

"Then...what if he doesn't appear in your mind?"

"That means he won't die, and there's nothing to worry about."

Next, we are going to find Han Ning.

Just as they were about to leave, Fenghui called Yuanxiu. He told Yuanxiu about the abnormal scene he saw last night, and he hoped to know the truth.

Yuan Xiu asked Runan's opinion with her eyes, and Runan gave her a positive look, so she said: "Okay... still remember the university address where we graduated, right? Let's meet in the cafeteria here."

When the three of them arrived at the cafeteria, Yuanxiu sighed and said, "I didn't expect that even Fenghui could not escape..."

"Since he can't escape, let's tell him," Runan recalled the other day, and the figures of those who would die next week appeared in his mind, and found them through the line of Tu Bingzong. In fact, on the day Tu Bingzong died, he and Ajing were with him all night, ready for any accidents at any time.

But he was still dead.

Runan only felt his powerlessness now. He always thought that he had lost to the speed of death at the curse of the Dawn Hall, but now looking back, this is also a necessity. Even if he arrived in time at that time, he could not save Yan Ruixin, Yue Jie and Qiu Shunxuan. Because of his ghost eye ability, facing real ghosts, his ability is really negligible.

Ajing talked with him about this issue yesterday for a long time.

"To be honest, your current ghost eye ability is developing faster than I expected, but equally, the dangers of ghosts and curses are beyond my imagination... This may be the so-called Taoist height and the demon height is one foot."

Runan was so angry that he gritted his teeth when he thought of this. He had been tortured by those inexplicable curses for seven years. Is it impossible to fight against them until now?

"First of all... don't expect your ghost eye ability to improve significantly in the short term. What attribute skills in fantasy novels are as simple as playing games, and they are simply fabricated. Ghost eye ability is actually the manifestation of the ghosts in your body acting on your body. It is a very difficult thing to control ghosts with the human self. In the short term, I can't help you further improve them. Even if there is a quick way, you will immediately become a ghost. But under the current circumstances, forcibly transforming into a ghost, I don't have the confidence to have a way to transform you back." Runan knew that if he turned into a ghost himself, his ability was naturally not comparable to now, but he was also full of fear of this. Imagining that one day he would no longer be himself, but he became a ghost in a living state is even more chilling than death.

At this time, Feng Hui ran into the cafeteria and saw Runan and the other two at a glance. His speed was too fast, and he was still panting when he came over. After he noticed Runan, he immediately asked: "Yuanxiu, this gentleman is..."

"I'll introduce it, you should also know him... He is Mr. Yi Runanan, the original author of "The Dead Man"."

After hearing Yuan Xiu say this, Feng Hui immediately looked at Runan. He was still imagining that the author who could write such a novel was a gloomy person like his name, but Runan gave people the feeling of a very gentle and decent man, and he didn't look like a person who was incomparable. However, he never understood again. Is Bingzong's death related to this author?

Out of politeness, he shook hands with Run secretly and said, "Mr. Yi, I'm very happy to see you. In fact, I just watched "The Dead Man" not long ago..."

In fact, part of the content in that novel was adapted from the plot of his parents being killed by three claw marks. Runan didn't plan to write that, but then he thought that even if he didn't write that, his parents wouldn't be resurrected. At that time, he had just arrived in a new city and all kinds of life problems were difficult to solve. Although he rented a house, he could not afford a computer at all. The manuscripts were handwritten, and he had to make more money to bear the living expenses and tuition for two people. Therefore, he finally wrote this into the novel and specifically stated the death of his parents in the preface. After checking it online, many readers gradually became interested and developed a sense of reality for the novel.

Runan always felt guilty when using his parents' death to write novels, so when he heard someone praise this novel, he felt extremely uncomfortable, so he immediately said: "No... nothing good... this novel..."

Fenghui then sat down and asked, "Well... Yuan Xiu, what does Bingzong's death have to do with Mr. Yi?"

"It's a big deal." Runan replied, "Well... you don't need to ask them anymore. I don't think they are willing to recall the experience that day. In fact, it's normal that you didn't realize it. All the movies you watched that day were the first time, right?"

"Well...yes, I rarely watch horror movies after graduating from college. No, I rarely watch movies. What does this mean? Is Bingzong's death related to the movies played that day?"

"First... I want to ask first..." Runanan mentioned first: "I participated in the shooting process of "Dead Humanoid". I was also present during the post-recording, so taking this movie as an example, I was very clear about all the shots here. That day, a man was chased, and then a headless ghost appeared in front of him, right?"

“Yes, yes…”

Runan then told him an amazing fact.

"That's impossible... It was filmed based on the plot of the novel at that time, and no special effects were processed afterwards... The ghost played at that time... has a head!"

As soon as this sentence was said, Fenghui almost fell from the chair.

He was completely confused for a moment and thought for a long time and asked, "You're kidding? Mr. Yi? We clearly saw a ghost-free head that day. At that time, the lights in the corridors were not particularly dark, and the pixels of the discs were clearer... Moreover, I saw blood coming out of my neck... Did the crew hide the special effects from you? Or did they reshoot a shot and release it as another version?"

"Impossible. The contract I signed with the crew stipulated that I have the right to review all special effects processing, and I cannot add special effects at will, otherwise I would not sell the copyright to the crew. I can see the entire editing process clearly. That ghost is indeed a big deal. I also watched the full film when it was previewed. Besides, if there is another version, I don't care if I don't know."

"How...how can it be..."

"It's true," Yuan Xiu took out a PSP at this time and said, "There is a movie version of "The Dead Human" in it. Should I show it to you? I was really shocked when I saw the headless ghost coming out that day. At first I thought the Bingzong was put on another version, but the fact was not the case..."

Runan took her words and continued, "I've seen Tu Bingzong, who wanted to sell his house for a very low price. In fact, he had watched all those discs at least once. Because he was a super horror fan, he had a clear memory of some details. That day, he saw a headless ghost crawling on the ground, and he was the person who was the most shocked..."

"So?" Feng Hui was covered in goose bumps at this moment and asked, "Is Bingzong dead because of this? How could he... do you want to say, we are really damn? Aren't you?"

Seeing that they were silent, he began to become scared and asked, "Answer me... Will something happen to me? Answer me! Isn't it just a headless ghost... Maybe, maybe it's because something happened to the makeup that seems to be without a head... Also, maybe... Bingzong himself remembered wrongly... By the way, Mr. Yi, you probably remembered wrongly, right? Yes, otherwise how should you explain this? How can you explain this?"
