"Remember, don't blink!"
"You'll be dead in the blink of an eye!"
"Don't look away!"
"Keep an eye on it and don't divert your attention!"
"Don't blink! Don't blink..."
"Everyone, I wish you good luck..."
…
In the mayor's office at the city hall, Parsons read the "Response Guide" sent by the hacker. This video has been sent to many confidential departments in North America. The video includes the image, nature, and murder of the statue. The rules are clearly stated.
"A statue that breaks people's necks? There are so many weird things happening these days..."
Parsons closed the video casually, somewhat disapprovingly. He looked at the staff aside and asked, "Have the police cordoned off the Hairank warehouse area?"
"It's locked down."
The staff beside him immediately replied, "Mr. Mayor, our people have entered the warehouse area and are strictly following the regulations in this video to look for potential murderous statues. However, according to the speculation of the black light technology, the sea... There may be a total of four statues in the Lanc area."
"It's ridiculous..."
Parsons shook his head speechlessly. If the White House hadn't sent an order overnight, asking him to follow the contents of this guide, he would not have followed the hacker's advice.
When will the great North American district government actually listen to the words of those Middle-earth people
But just when Palo Sen was dismissive, there was a sudden knock on his office door.
"Come in."
Parsons turned to look at the door, only to see a person holding a hard drive and quickly pushing the door in. "Mr. Mayor, according to your instructions, we have ordered people to check the surveillance of the Hairank Warehouse area, and I successfully found the statue you described, and it’s currently on the hard drive!”
"Why so slow?"
When he heard the news about the statue, Parosin frowned and became a little dissatisfied.
"Sorry, Mr. Mayor, the surveillance in the Hairank Warehouse Area is not connected to the network, so we must first go to the Hairank Warehouse District to retrieve all the surveillance cameras before we can check the murderer of this crime. However, the murderer has been Didn't find it, but received your order to find the statue again... "
The man said helplessly.
"Okay, but act faster next time."
Parsons then sat up, took the hard drive with interest, and then plugged it into his computer.
But before turning on the video, Parsons seemed to have thought of something. He raised his head again and looked at the staff beside him, "Go out first and close the door for me."
"yes."
The staff member nodded and walked out of the office together with the middle-aged man from the technical department.
It wasn't until he closed the office door with his backhand that the staff member started to chat with the man in front of him, "Robin, are you busy in your technical department recently?"
"It's not bad, it's much better than before."
The man replied helplessly, "But I seem to be quite busy tonight..."
"Hahaha, there's nothing we can do about it, just treat it as bad luck."
The staff member patted the man's shoulder, and then suddenly became curious, "By the way, Robin, where did you buy these contact lenses?"
"Color contact lenses? I'm not wearing any contact lenses..."
The middle-aged man was a little stunned. He rubbed his eyes and then said, "It's just that I have been checking the surveillance before. My eyes are a little dry, so they look a little red, right?"
The staff member shrugged and comforted him casually, and then the two of them separated completely when they turned the corner.
At this time, in the mayor's office, Parsons moved the mouse to the computer screen after asking his staff to leave.
But just when he was about to click on the video, he suddenly thought of the hacker who had come and gone without a trace, and his heart suddenly tightened.
After thinking about it, he simply unplugged the network cable and left his computer offline.
In this way, you won't have to worry about hackers invading and stealing your videos. Even if this farce ends, you can only end it yourself.
The Hyrank warehouse area is very old, and most areas are not monitored, including inside and outside each warehouse.
There are some surveillance cameras installed more than ten years ago on the roads in the warehouse area. However, after years of exposure to wind and rain, these surveillance cameras have long since broken down. Some of them have malfunctioned, and few of them are still functioning.
Fortunately, although most of the monitors have been damaged, the technical department's investigation still found a few intact ones, which can be said to be a blessing among misfortunes.
Thinking of this, Parsons double-clicked the video on the hard drive.
This video was obviously taken by a surveillance camera located under a streetlight. It seemed that because of the dark night and the streetlights had long since failed, the entire video showed a black and white picture instead of color. On both sides of the surveillance are dark warehouses, and the scene looks very monotonous.
However, it was obvious that this video had been intercepted by the technical department. Parsons looked at the progress bar and saw that the video was only displayed for one minute. Maybe the original surveillance screen was very lengthy, but now it is only shortened to fifty-nine seconds. Obviously, this nearly one-minute video is the only clue to the murder case in the Heilanke Warehouse District.
Thinking of this, Parsons calmed down and continued reading.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Time passed by second by second, but when thirty seconds passed, the video was still empty. This scene immediately made Parsons frown, and he subconsciously wanted to flip the progress bar and pull it back.
But after thinking about it, there was only half a minute left, so he patiently continued reading.
Until the thirty-first second, finally, the surveillance picture changed. On the computer screen, a panicked middle-aged man ran past the upper left of the camera and towards the lower right. At the same time, While running, he looked behind him, but because of the insufficient surveillance angle, he couldn't see what was behind the man.
Although the pixels of the surveillance were extremely poor, and it was even more blurry at night, Parsons still recognized that this middle-aged man was one of the eight people who died for the second time.
At this time, the video finally aroused Parosin's interest. He couldn't help but put his head in front of it, waiting for the thing chasing the middle-aged man to appear.
The figure of the middle-aged man only appeared in the video for three seconds before running out of the surveillance range. However, the pursuer behind him disappeared for a while. Parson looked at the time impatiently again, but saw the progress at this time. The article has reached the fifty-fifth second.
Just when Parsons wondered whether the technical department had made a mistake in intercepting the video, suddenly, the video picture suddenly became distorted, as if it had been interfered by some kind of signal. The entire picture became blurry, but the progress bar was still there. Moving forward, until a second later the screen suddenly cleared again, and a statue appeared on the surveillance camera at some point.
Out!
Seeing this statue, Parosin was refreshed, but before he could take a closer look at the details of the statue, the picture suddenly became distorted again. When it returned to clarity a second later, the statue was once again distorted. Gone!
Immediately, the progress bar crossed the last second and ended completely.
After watching the video end, Palo Sen still didn't come back to his senses. He frowned, looking thoughtful.
"Is this statue the one the hacker said before that can kill people? As long as you stare at the opponent, it will turn into stone, and if you don't stare, the opponent will move?"
Parsons murmured in a low voice, "But why can't even the surveillance camera record its movements?"
Thinking of this, Parsons dragged the progress bar again to reach the fifty-fifth second of the video, and watched the last four seconds several times.
But no matter how he looked at it, the statue always disappeared without a trace before he could take a closer look. After all, starting from the fifty-sixth second, the picture began to distort, the statue appeared at the seventeenth second, and the picture distorted again at the fifty-eighth second. , the statue in the video only exists for one second.
"If we follow the guidelines sent by the hacker, that is to say, the running middle-aged man glanced back at this second, just enough for the surveillance camera to record the scene of the statue being frozen, and then a second later the middle-aged man again Looking back, the statue disappeared again..."
After briefly analyzing all this, Parsons simply found the right moment during the fifth viewing and quickly pressed the pause button when the progress bar reached the fifty-seventh second!
This time, Parsons finally got his wish and saw the statue under surveillance clearly.
Although the statue in the video was a bit blurry due to equipment problems, he could still see that there was a pair of semi-open wings behind the statue in the video, which was no different from the angel statues in the church.
At this time, the statue is facing the lower right side of the video, which is the direction in which the middle-aged man left.
Seeing this, although Parsons was still a little reluctant, he gradually began to believe this statement. Maybe what the hacker said was true, and it was not a conspiracy against North America...
Thinking of this, Palo Sen couldn't help but feel a little irritated. He took out a cigarette, took the lighter from the table, lowered his head and lit it gently.
After lighting it, Parosin took a deep breath, inhaling all the smoke into his lungs, and then raised his head to look at the video again.
But when he looked at the video again, he was suddenly stunned.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the statue seems to be at a slightly different angle than before in the frozen video.
illusion
Parsons raised his eyebrows and looked intently, only to see that the statue in the picture seemed to have turned its head, and its whole face was looking this way.
For a moment, Parsons was a little confused. He was not sure whether this angle existed before. Was there a deviation in his memory, or was this the second video
Thinking of this, Parsons lowered his head and looked at the progress bar again, only to see that the video was indeed fifty-nine seconds long, and there was no second video on the hard drive from beginning to end.
Then, maybe my memory is wrong...
Parson raised his head again hesitantly, but at this moment, his pupils suddenly shrank! Because he discovered again that the statue in the video had turned its entire body, and its empty eyes were fixed in front of the screen, as if the statue was looking at Parsons himself through the screen!
Palo Sen stared at the screen. At this moment, his heart beat violently, cold sweat fell from his forehead, and an inexplicable chill slowly came out. At this time, he was sure that all this was not him. There is a problem with his memory, but the statue under surveillance is really moving!
"But, how is this possible..."
Palo Sen murmured in a low voice. At this moment, all the previous warnings flashed through his mind. Among the warnings sent by the hackers, there was one that must keep an eye on the other party, because once he looks away, the statue will rush forward. To break the target's neck...
However, he originally thought that this rule only applied to statues. Who would have thought that even the surveillance images would be no exception
"Damn it, the warning given by Blacklight Technology didn't say that images can trigger this kind of ghost thing!"
Parson complained, but he was the mayor of a city after all. When Parson sensed something was wrong, he quickly reacted. He moved the mouse directly to the upper right corner of the video and quickly clicked the cross!
Suddenly, the video window on the computer flashed, and the option of whether to close or not appeared. Parson quickly clicked the 'yes' button, and then the video window closed directly, revealing the Windows desktop pattern behind the window.
"Phew, is it over?"
Seeing the statue disappear, Palo Sen was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but the desktop suddenly flashed again, and the video that had just been closed automatically opened and was re-framed at the second when the angel appeared!
Seeing this scene, Palo Sen felt as if he was out of his mind. He pressed the button to turn off the video again, but this time the surveillance video was not even turned off. The screen flashed after pressing the off button, and then Fixed on the spot!
Seeing that there was no response after pressing it for more than a dozen times, Parsons simply bent over and pressed the power switch. However, no matter how hard he pressed it, the computer screen still flickered.
Only then did he realize that at some point, the computer had completely crashed, and even the shutdown button had failed!
Not only that, as he bowed his head and then raised his head again, the statue under surveillance was still approaching. At this time, the statue's entire face was in front of the computer screen, and it seemed that it would be able to leave the screen in the next second and completely come to reality. In the world!
At the critical moment, Parsons seemed to have finally thought of something. He bent down again and unplugged the power supply of the host as fast as he could in his life!
Snapped!
As the computer made a soft beep, the computer finally stopped running!
Parsons raised his head in shock, and was completely relieved when he saw the computer screen went black. He stood up tremblingly, showing an expression of rejoicing that he had survived the disaster.
"Almost died, damn you thing!"
Cursing in a low voice, Parosin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and was about to call the staff outside the door, but suddenly he felt something strange about his eyes.
Rubbing his eyes casually, Palo Sen touched a small hard object. He lowered his head and looked, only to find that the hard object in his hand was a grain of white sand smaller than a sesame. As he exhaled, Then disappeared.
But at this time, Parsons couldn't care less about thinking and association. After the weird thing just now, how could he dare to stay in the office? He yelled the name of his staff and left the office as if he was running away. …
