The black round jar has a weird black lid on it, which is tightly covered on the jar.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the jar. Luo Xue's reaction was the strongest, holding Xinchun back step by step, pressing his body against the door frame, ready to escape at any time.
Xi Shengnan's expression was not panicked, but a little surprised.
Lu Heng, who was sitting next to him, was not panicked, and even reached out and touched the jar.
Several other new members also stood up and walked towards the black jar, their faces were full of incredible, and there was an incomprehensible piety in their eyes.
As if this black jar was a treasure unparalleled in the world.
Luo Yu: What the hell, the evil jar has begun to exert its power. The first step is to attract new people into it and turn them all into pus...
Cao Youning stepped forward and patted the jar, hesitated a little, then picked it up and weighed it again.
Ke Xun asked Mu Yiran in a low voice, "Can you give the rookie some knowledge?"
Mu Yiran: "...I don't know either."
Ke Xun was taken aback. Except for not watching the cartoon, Mr. Mu didn't know this black jar. Of course, most of his friends didn't know this black jar.
"Who can tell me what's in here?" Wei Dong was also very puzzled: seeing Cao Youning holding the jar, it was like he was holding a bucket of freshly soaked instant noodles when he was hungry...
"I don't know what's in it yet." Cao Youning said and shook the jar, "I feel that there is something in it, it's a little heavy."
"Fuck you, don't be fooled, what if it blows up?!" Luo Meng almost rushed out the door, and Xinchun followed with wide-eyed eyes.
Seeing that Cao Youning was about to open the mysterious black lid, Luo Meng immediately broke his throat: "Don't open it! Can you guarantee that it is full of golden fingers?!"
Everyone: "… "
Perhaps Luo Meng's words reminded Lu Heng, he snatched the jar from Cao Youning's hand: "Don't open it without authorization! Do you have a secret bag? Use a secret bag."
"That's right, the secret bag!" Xi Shengnan continued to rummage through his package, and several new members also began to help her find it.
Wei Dong's eyes became straight: "Are you really photographers? Are you sure you're not a photographer in the underworld? Secret bag? What kind of underworld term is this? Do you know Haowener?"
Zhu Haowen's eyes are also straight: "..."
"I found it! Secret pocket!!" Du Lingyu found a stack of black cloth from the bottom of the stack of clothes. At first glance, he thought it was a black clothes, but when he opened it, it was a thick and strange shape. With the black pocket, Du Lingyu picked up the pocket and shone in the direction of the lantern for a long time, "Double-layer, coated with glue, it's not light at all!"
Hearing this, Mu Yiran's slightly frowning brows gradually stretched out, as if he understood what these things were.
Several newcomers put the black jar in the dark bag, looked at each other, and finally handed everything over to Mai Peng.
Mai Peng rubbed his itchy nose because of the cold, and sealed the mouth of the secret bag. He found two cuff-like things on the secret bag with both hands and put them in.
Wei Dong: "I'm a jerk, can it be a little weirder..."
"Do you need to turn off the lights?" Mu Yiran said.
Mai Peng paused: "It's safer to turn it off."
Perhaps because of Mu Yiran's attitude, although the old members didn't want to understand too much, they still cooperated to turn off a few gauze lamps in the room. Luo Meng, who was standing at the door, also obediently hugged the dog and closed the door, and the room fell into darkness for a while. , when the curtains are drawn, it is almost completely black.
"Mai Peng, you are so courageous," Luo Xiao's voice trembled in the dark, "In such a dark room, you dare to put your hand into the black bag and open the black ashes... Oh no, the black jar …”
"Don't be afraid, we often do these things. When we first entered the photography business, these were the most basic tasks." Cao Youning comforted Luo Meng.
"Photography trip?" Several people asked.
"Yeah, those of you who don't touch photography don't know that the black can is a standard developing can, which is used for developing film." Cao Youning said.
"Ah?" Wei Dong was very surprised, "Can you process film in one can?!"
Lu Heng's voice also sounded: "Yes, yes, this is purely manual washing. If you have experience, the effect of washing is better than that of a printing shop."
"Can not believe it… "
"Of course, in addition to the developing tank, things like developer and fixer are also needed. I hope the world can provide us with these." Lu Heng said.
In the darkness, a rustling sound could be heard, which seemed to be the sound of opening a jar, and everyone fell silent, because they couldn't see the five fingers, and everyone couldn't judge the result from Mai Peng's expression.
Mai Peng's breathing was that of a severe cold, and it was a little heavy: "Yes, there should be something we need, powder packets, a lot of powder packets."
Weidong's divergent thinking began to supplement the bucket of instant noodles again... Is there a sauce pack...
"You mean, the powder package of developer powder and fixer powder?" Mu Yiran's voice sounded.
"I think it should be, and there are some things that are necessary for developing film." There was another movement in Mai Peng, as if he was groping and confirming the contents one by one.
Qin Ci didn't understand what was going on for a while, and said in a low voice: "Since it has been determined that it is a developing tank, why should you confirm the contents in the dark? If it is dangerous, isn't it more dangerous in the dark?"
Mu Yiran replied: "The developing tank is used to develop film. If the film itself is contained in the can, opening it without authorization will completely expose the film and cause it to be scrapped."
"Oh, that's how it is." Qin Ci's voice lowered, it was hard to imagine what would be recorded on the can if there was a film in it...
"There's film! It's true!" Mai Peng sounded with a strong cold.
Qin Ci instantly felt that "a single thought became a prophecy".
"How many rolls of film are there?" Lu Heng asked cautiously.
"Packed in a small paper envelope, cut open, there should only be a few." Mai Peng said.
Mu Yiran's voice sounded: "It is currently impossible to judge whether these films are exposed, right?"
Mai Peng: "Theoretically, if you don't take it out and look at it, you can't just touch it. However, now that these film rolls have been cut, I think only the developed film will be cut open."
If you think about it, this is true, but experience comes from experience. If the film in the envelope has not been developed, it will be scrapped when it is exposed to light, which is equivalent to destroying the precious information.
"What should I do? Brother-in-law." Luo Yan's voice sounded.
"Two options: one is to take out only a small piece of negative film, and in case of exposure, only this small piece of film will be destroyed; the other is to immediately find a red glass lampshade and set the room as a darkroom, which is harmful to the exposure of the photo. The smallest." Mu Yiran gave two options.
"I have a red lampshade here." Suddenly a slender voice sounded, it was Du Lingyu.
Everyone was stunned, it seems that the painting is to prepare the guy who develops the film for everyone.
Du Lingyu murmured to himself: "No wonder there is a red lampshade in my package, wrapped in cloth. I just thought it was too weird and didn't dare to say it. It turned out to be a red light in the darkroom."
Mai Peng's voice: "I have sealed the secret bag, everyone can light the lights now."
A lamp quickly lit up. It was the shade lamp beside Zhu Haowen. Du Lingyu walked over and handed over a round red glass shade...
The red light came on, making everyone in the room have a red face, which was extra weird.
This time, Mai Peng took out a small negative from the dark bag, and first took a photo at the red light: "It has been washed, and the technology is really good. The indoor temperature here is only about 10 degrees. It must be a very experienced master to be able to manually develop this level of film in such cold conditions.”
Ke Xun and Wei Dong were already beside Mai Peng. Now no one cares about the technology of this film. What everyone cares more about is what is shot on the film.
Wei Dong narrowed his eyes and stared at the red light for a long time: "I think this is just a few big black spots on the white background! What are these things?"
Zhu Haowen was the closest to the red light, and squinted his eyes for a long time: "I think there should be white spots on it, not black spots."
"Hao Wen'er, your eyes are broken?" Wei Dong heard Mai Peng say, "He is right, the film negative is like this, the color is opposite to the color of the real photo, if it is black and white film , the black on the film is the real white, and the white on the film is black—because it is the exact opposite, so the developed film is also called a negative.”
"Oh, yes," Wei Dong nodded. "It's a bit like the inverse color effect when processing pictures."
Ke Xun kept staring at the black dots on the film: "Mai Peng, are you sure this photo is clear and developed well?"
Mai Peng nodded: "I think so, but unfortunately the film is too small, but we don't have professional equipment to develop the photo and enlarge it."
"There are some gray things on these four black spots, I really can't see what they are," Ke Xun's eyes never left the film, "but I think these four black spots are actually in the shape of fish. A fish shaped like a flat fish."
Perhaps it was Ke Xun's reminder, so that Mai Peng seemed to have thought of something, he looked at the negatives over and over again, and then called a few other photographers over to watch them together: "Lu Heng, do you think these gray things are like water? "
Lu Heng watched for a long time, and his voice became a little heavy: "Looking at the texture, it should be water, but if these are water, the white background of the negative should also be water, which means..."
Du Lingyu's voice trembled a little: "This painting is so scary."
Although the other members did not have professional knowledge in photography, through Mai Peng's explanation about the negative film just now, they somehow made up the original appearance of this photo.
In the black water, four snow-white diamond-shaped fish swim.
The photography conditions in this world are limited, and it should be impossible to go underwater to complete photography, and it is even more impossible to photograph the complete profile of the four fish.
That is to say, the four fish are laid flat on the water.
These are four snow-white dead fish.
