Wei Dong wiped his eyes, and after wiping it was blurry again: "Fuck the painting! Fuck it!"
The film in his hand felt an obvious pulling force, and it was Luo Yu who was reminding himself to send the film.
Wei Dong's reaction was a little numb, but he heard Ke Xun say, "Next one."
Yes, no matter in the past or in the future, no one can say that what the camera captures must be inevitable.
The formation of history is accidental, and no one can tell the story of the future. At this moment, crying and wiping tears are useless. As soon as the film in Wei Dong’s hand is loosened, a second picture appears on the light screen.
Thirteen pairs of eyes (including Xinchun) looked at the light curtain, and half of them were wet.
The second negative is very bright and clearly captured at night.
There seems to be a lot of people asleep on the bed, which is a quiet photo.
Mu Yiran stepped forward and stared at a black dot in the corner of the picture: "The next one."
The next one was still night, and everyone fell asleep on the beds, seemingly no different from the previous one.
Mu Yiran continued to stare at the same black dot in the upper left corner of the picture: "Go back to the previous one."
The picture returned to the previous one, and everyone subconsciously began to look for the differences between these two seemingly similar photos.
"There is one less person here!" Du Lingyu took two steps forward, feeling a little scared, feeling that Ke Xun was standing beside him, and then lowered his red and swollen eyes, walked forward, pointed to the right side of the picture The location below, "This place in the second picture, there is one person missing."
The bed was dark, and the figures on the bed were so dark that it was impossible to tell who was who, not even the number of people. —Although the negatives used to express the darkness are the effect of inverting the white, the large white is even more difficult to distinguish.
The two pictures on the light curtain were constantly switching. Following Du Lingyu's guidance, everyone found the difference in the lower right corner of the picture—the first one was full of people sleeping in a bed, and the second one was close to the edge of the picture, empty. out of a person's place.
"Who is that person?" Cao Youning asked, "How about we count people from that end?"
It's hard to see how many people there are. Everyone sleeps together in large cotton robes. It's hard to say the exact number.
But Wei Dong felt a little more relaxed, because according to people's habits, where he slept on the first night, he usually chose to sleep in the same position on the second night. According to last night's order, Mu Yiran slept at the very edge, Ke Xun was next to Mu Yiran, and he was next to Ke Xun—although it is difficult to determine the exact number of people from the pictures, it is certain that they were photographed. There are at least seven or eight people.
In other words, Mu Yiran is well, Ke Xun is well, Wei Dong is well, Luo Meng is well, Zhu Haowen is well, Qin Ci is well... Ke Xun is well.
Wei Dong admits that he is selfish, but at this time he really cares more about the safety of the old members.
As a girl, Fang Fei could not be photographed on the other side of the bed.
"Why do I think that person is you?" Cao Youning looked at Lu Heng.
"Why?" Since Xi Shengnan left, Lu Heng's cowardice seemed to have weakened a lot, although he was more absent-minded.
"Because I slept next to you last night." Cao Youning pointed to the lower right of the light curtain, "Look, the slightly bigger guy, that person should be me, there is a little distance between me and the person in front of me. It's Mai Peng."
"Why is there a distance?" Mai Peng asked - the light brigade was very cold, and everyone would involuntarily be next to each other when they lay down, which would make their bodies warmer.
"I, I'm afraid you will infect me with a cold."
"All right."
"So that person is me, and the other side of me is Lu Heng, but Lu Heng in the second picture is gone!" Cao Yuning said.
Many people's eyes were focused on Lu Heng, wondering where he could go in the middle of the night.
Lu Heng didn't know it himself, his eyes were innocent and helpless.
Zhu Haowen asked, "Did anyone wake up last night?"
No one answered, only Cao Youning thought about it and said, "I was so sleepy last night, I lay down and slept for a long time."
Du Lingyu: "Actually, I wanted to go a little last night, but I didn't dare, and then I fell asleep in a daze."
"What time was this filming?" Qin Ci asked.
"The first picture is 1/1000 of a second, maybe 3 or 4 hours later, the second picture is 1/2000 of a second, maybe 4 or 8 hours later," Mai Peng said, "Actually now We don't fully understand the law either."
Mu Yiran's brows gradually stretched: "Look at the next one, the one at 1/4000th of a second."
The picture on the light curtain was advanced to the next one. The picture was still white, with gray in the white, and it looked like it was still night. The bed was actually empty, and there was only one figure sitting on the bed!
Luo Meng almost exclaimed: "What's going on?! Where are the people? Where have they all gone? It's still night! Who is that person sitting on the bed!"
Zhu Haowen: "And the person lying on the side."
"What, what? Lying on the side..." Luo Meng looked at a place very close to the edge of the photo, there was actually a person lying there, because only half of the picture was taken, so if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't notice, "Oh my god, it's so weird. Come on, don't tell me, the big guys all went to sleep on the other side..."
For a time, everyone panicked, trying to identify who it was from the sitting figure, but the photo was blurry, and it could only be seen that it was a man, who seemed not to be very tall.
Ke Xun gently came to Mu Yiran's side: "Are you looking at that incense?"
Mu Yiran turned to look at Ke Xun, but did not speak for a while.
However, Ke Xun saw a very complicated feeling in the eyes of the other party, the happiness of being lost and found, and the sorrow that was unfounded. This was never the expression that should belong to Mu Yiran.
"Thinking, hurry up and get out, everything else is a paper tiger~" Ke Xun clenched his fist and lightly beat Chu Mu Yiran's fist, "Big brother, please use your IQ to crush it."
Mu Yiran's eyes flashed, and he said to everyone: "It should be certain that the advancement of the camera's shutter speed doubles the time. The three photos just now showed the scene at night, but It’s a different time period, even a different timeline.”
"Timeline?" Many people are asking.
"Although there is no conclusive evidence, I think there is more than one timeline in this world." Mu Yiran said.
"You mean, parallel space?" Shao Ling asked.
"No, a parallel space is a space-time that has no intersection with this space, but through the comparison and observation of these three photos, I think another timeline can be connected to our current timeline, but I can't find it temporarily. to the point of connection."
Mu Yiran looked at the bewildered people and continued: "Everyone can pay attention to the black dot in the upper left corner of the picture, that is the incense stick I placed in the corner of the house, the red fire point of the incense stick is very bright in the dark. Conspicuous."
All eyes were on the incense head in the photo.
"Mai Peng said just now that the three photos were taken at 1/1000 of a second, 1/2000 of a second, and 1/4000 of a second. It can be judged by the position of the burning incense point that 4 photos were taken at 1/1000 of a second. In the scene after hours, it can be seen that the advance of this number of seconds should increase exponentially. According to this rule, the shooting of 1/2000 second should be 8 hours later, and from the point of view of the burning point, it is indeed the case.”
Luo Meng frowned and said, "According to this calculation, the 1/4000th of a second was shot 16 hours later?"
"It should be like this," Mu Yiran's eyes stayed on the 1/4000th of a second picture, "but the strange thing is that the burning incense point in this picture has not changed much compared to the previous one."
There was some silence in the air.
"I didn't react," Wei Dong thought about Mu Yiran's words carefully, "Could it be that time has stopped?"
"Time has stopped in our world, and all the people in the Light Brigade have fallen into an irresistible sleep," Mu Yiran slowly stated his speculation, "Even, people's breathing is suspended in sleep, The pause period, if I'm not mistaken, should be 12 hours."
"Why why?" Luo Meng was completely stunned, "I have to elaborate, I don't understand at all."
Mu Yiran stood beside the light curtain and faced the crowd: "Let's forget yesterday's assumption about time, because the time we entered the painting is not necessarily related to the time in the painting. In order to make it clearer to everyone, we now assume the time of lighting the lamp. is zero.
"Zero o'clock is a start, and it is also the time when we just came to the Light Brigade."
Indeed, shortly after everyone entered the painting, the lamplighter lit the lamp brigade.
Mu Yiran continued: "When the lights are turned on at zero, this kind of light will last for four hours, and then there will be a long-term light-off, that is to say, the lights are turned off at 4:00, and everyone can still be in the dark after the lights are turned off. Stay awake, just like we are now, but after a few hours, you will involuntarily enter a state of compulsive deep sleep, which should be 12:00.
"Take the three future pictures just now as an example, Mai Peng took the photo about an hour and a half before the lights went out, that is, one and a half hours before 4:00, about 2:30. The first picture of the future was taken What happened 4 hours later, that is, 6:30, when everyone was lying on the bed, it is unknown whether they fell asleep; the second picture was taken 8 hours later, that is, 10:30, when someone left, I don't know its purpose, but because the burning of incense is still going on, it is still on our timeline at this time.
"The third picture was taken 16 hours later, that is, 18:30. At this time, the incense stick solidified and stayed at about 12:00, that is, from 12:00 to 18:30. Time period, the time of this world is frozen, even if it is passing, it cannot be detected by any time instrument - except the camera. Therefore, I tentatively set the time line after 12:00 as another one.
"The 'us' on the other timeline also exists, maybe we'll be transformed into 'them' after we're asleep, or maybe, 'they' will live in our dreams after we're asleep.
"'They' have the same personalities and emotions as us and maybe the same purpose as us, which is to get out there looking for signatures.
"However, the situation of 'them' is obviously not good. There is only one person left at home in the dark, which is rare. It is unlikely to be left alone to watch the house, but more like... This is the only one left in the team. people."
This sentence made everyone hold their breath, Fang Fei said for a long time: "Besides, there is a sleeping companion."
"That person is already dead, or it can be said that that person was not dead at the time," Mu Yiran sighed softly, "that person's headpin has black lines, but in reality it is actually a pattern of light in jade. If I guessed right, that person is Xi Shengnan.
"The still alive Xi Shengnan."
