"We will die, we will definitely die!"
In a private room of a coffee shop next to Silver Eagle University, several people who seemed to be students gathered together, their faces full of paleness and uneasiness: "You saw, Lu Xia is dead, and we can't run away. Everyone in that photo will die!"
One girl seemed unable to bear it, hugging her shoulders and crying.
"Bai Ling, stop crying, there will definitely be a way!"
Next to the girl, a tall, sunny boy, who seemed to be her boyfriend, spoke comfortingly.
"I don't care... I want to transfer to another school and get out of here!"
A girl behind her also cried.
"Instead of preparing to leave, it's better to find a monk or a Taoist priest or something. It might be useful. Right, Brother Yang?"
The last boy wears glasses, is not tall, looks more gentle, and can barely keep calm at this time.
"Wu Lu, don't worry, Xiuwen is right, there must be a way to solve it!"
Yang Guang said with certainty, as if to cheer himself up: "We can definitely escape from that damn curse, definitely! Speaking of which, I also collected some information and found that there are many experts in this city who are worth visiting. For a moment, maybe... we can show them the photo!"
When he mentioned the last two words, photo, even his voice lowered, as if he was scrupulous or afraid of something.
"photo?"
The two girls were excited, while Xiuwen raised his glasses and took out a black and white photo from his pocket.
On it, there was a group photo of five people, and the background seemed to be the interior of an abandoned apartment.
But at this time, Lu Xia's original position had turned white, as if exposed and destroyed, and the remaining four people also had very mysterious expressions. Among them, Bai Ling's face had become a little blurry.
"Next, is Bai Ling next?"
Xiuwen murmured.
This photo cannot be discarded at all, nor can it be damaged, even if it is soaked in water or burned.
Before, when Lu Xia died, there were also strange things in the photos.
"don't want!"
Bai Ling screamed: "I don't want to die!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely protect you!"
Yang Guang hugged Bai Ling into his arms. Seeing this scene, Wu Lu's eyes turned red. Xiuwen next to him handed over a tissue: "Lulu... don't worry, I will protect you too."
Wu Lu nodded slightly, feeling a surge of sadness in her heart.
She has been secretly in love with Lu Xia. Although she knows Xiuwen's intentions, she has not responded yet. Unexpectedly, this weak student seems to be very reliable at this time!
"It seems we made a big mistake before!"
Yang Guang suddenly said: "We were all so frightened at the time that we actually forgot to take out the camera. There might be some clues on it!"
"Are you crazy?"
Bai Ling looked horrified: "Didn't Lu Xia say that it was just a second-hand movie? If we go to that apartment now, the 'ghost' might be waiting there!"
"Of course I'm not going to go alone, but to entrust others, such as detectives!"
Yang Guang picked up a newspaper: "This great detective Ma Wencai is a very famous paranormal scholar. He has solved many evil ghost cases and will definitely be helpful to us. Although he charges a high fee, I am ready to save it." I took out all my pocket money and income from part-time work.”
"count me in!"
Wu Lu gritted her teeth: "If we can solve this ghost, we will also avenge Lu Xia."
On the page of the newspaper, Ma Wencai's figure stood out, but he seemed to have gained a lot of weight in his middle age, but his face was full of high spirits. The typeface below read: "Detective Ma solves another strange case..."
Bai Ling wiped her tears, her memory seemed to return to that day again.
…
Summer afternoons are drowsy.
Because it was a rare weekend off, Yang Guang asked Bai Ling out to have afternoon tea together.
At this time, Lu Xia called: "Yang Guang? Do you want to go on an adventure together? I recently bought a very cheap camera, just in time to try it out on location!"
Yang Guang has been interested in photography since he was a child. He often worked part-time in his spare time to save money to buy expensive photographic equipment. At this time, he immediately became interested.
"OK!"
If she could turn back time, Bai Ling swore that she would definitely stop Yang Guang from going, at all costs! Unfortunately, there is no if in this world.
The agreed place was an apartment building on the outskirts of the city, which had been abandoned for many years.
At the door of the apartment, Lu Xia, Wu Lu, and Xiuwen had been waiting there for a long time. When they saw them, they kept waving.
"How did you come up with the idea of filming here?"
Yang Guang looked at the apartment behind. It seemed to be a building from the 1990s. It was in some disrepair and looked even more gloomy.
"Don't you know?"
Lu Xia said in surprise: "This is a famous haunted house in this city! The person who sold my goods said that this camera is a famous supernatural item and has photographed ghosts. I want to try it this time too." Try it! See if you can photograph ghosts or something."
Unlike Yang Guang, who is interested in photography, Lu Xia is a complete paranormal enthusiast. The walls of her home are covered with various supernatural clues.
But Yang Guang rolled his eyes: "But... it's just a rumor, right? I haven't heard any reports of anyone dying here at all... "
In this world, the richer and more powerful people are, the more superstitious they are. Ordinary people below will not care about news in this area unless they encounter it or are truly interested.
Of course, Yang Guang was right.
If it were a haunted house like Chen Mansion, police detectives would have been on guard to stop anyone who wanted to peep in, and scientists would have been sent to study it.
From this point of view, the rumors about this apartment being haunted are probably just rumors.
"Okay, since we are brothers, I will accompany you this time, but show me this camera first..."
Yang Guang pointed to the black camera hanging around Lu Xia's neck.
"no problem!"
Lu Xia handed the camera to Yang Guang, who immediately started operating it with joy.
This is the old-fashioned "Polaroid" that can be taken and taken out immediately, and there is a light above the camera.
"Very good, you got a big deal this time!"
Hearing the price quoted by Lu Xia, even Yang Guang felt jealous.
"Haha, I was born with good luck!"
Lu Xia rubbed the back of his head. His family was considered the best among this group of people, but it took a lot of effort to buy this camera. But now that he sees the envious looks of others, he feels that it is worth it.
A group of people entered the apartment and found that it was just as expected, except for the dark spots and a lot of garbage, there was nothing special about it.
"Oh... it's so boring! Another fantasy shattered."
Lu Xia lamented, a little listless.
"Anyway, to commemorate today, let's take a group photo together!"
Xiuwen suggested: "How about just right there?"
"Ah, very good!"
Yang Guang positioned the camera and set up a time-lapse shooting: "Three two one... eggplant!"
He quickly ran to the four people and completed the group photo.
The photo was spit out immediately. Yang Guang picked it up and looked at it: "Huh?"
"what happened?"
Lu Xia cheered up and took the photo in his hand: "It's a bit exposed. Why did my profile picture become like this? Is it a problem with the camera?"
In the black and white photo, there were only four smiling faces in the group photo of five people, but his face was blurry and even looked ferocious, like... an evil ghost!
"ah!"
Yang Guang suddenly screamed and threw the photo on the ground.
"What's wrong? Brother Yang?"
Xiuwen asked immediately.
"That Lu Xia's face just smiled at me!"
Yang Guang was trembling all over. The originally dark environment in the apartment became even more terrifying for him: "I feel very bad here, so I'd better leave quickly!"
"How could this be possible? At least we have to take another photo!"
Lu Xia complained and went to get the camera placed on the old wooden box.
Snapped!
At this moment, a big black hand covered the camera.
"This is… "
Yang Guang was so shocked that he almost forgot to breathe. He saw... a charred figure crawled out of the shadows and put one hand on the camera!
"Ghost!"
The screams of two female voices tore through the silence, while Yang Guang and Lu Xia quickly fled the apartment, each pulling the other.
"Huhu..."
In the sunshine outside, the five people gasped violently: "It's great to escape!"
"Huhu..."
Lu Xia let out a long breath and broke into cold sweat: "Unexpectedly... there is really a ghost. It scared me to death!"
His current state of mind is very similar to the idiom of Mr. Ye's love for dragons. Although he was crazy about everything supernatural before, seeing ghosts completely aroused the fear in his heart.
"ah!"
At this time, Xiuwen screamed again and looked at Lu Xia with a pale face: "You threw away the photo just now, right?"
"yes!"
Lu Xia nodded, and then looked at the photo Xiuwen took out from his pocket, with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
"It... I didn't pick it up at all..."
Xiuwen's voice was almost crying.
"Asshole!"
But Yang Guang took the photo with a quick step, lit a lighter, and burned it to ashes instantly: "So what if it's a ghost? The sun is so bright outside now... "
"ah!"
This time it was Lu Xia who screamed. With trembling hands, he took out a... black and white photo from his pocket! Surprisingly, it was still a group photo of five people!
Only this time, his blur is more conspicuous, and his facial features are distorted, making people shudder.
From that day on, this photo became an eternal nightmare for the five people.
No matter how it is discarded, burned, or torn, the photo will still appear intact in the hands of five people randomly, and Lu Xia's figure will slowly disappear, and in the end, only a gray patch will be left.
On the day when he disappeared from the photo, Yang Guang and the others got the news.
Lu Xia is dead!
He died in a fire. It is said that the electrical appliances were aging and his whole body was burned to coke!
The real nightmare is coming!
