Chapter 0719 – Someone in the House
The phone vibrated during the movie, Akemi who was organizing the information turned around and picked up the phone, she didn’t look at the caller ID and directly answered the call.
”Hello, who is it?”
”We were just talking, I read the information on your homepage and thought I’d give it a try when I saw the phone number left.” A boy’s voice came from the other side of the cell phone, the other party was not very old, and should be in the period of voice change.
”Just now?” Akimi then looked at the phone screen, “You’re the one who doesn’t exist?”
”That’s my screen name.”
”Why would you name yourself that?”
”It doesn’t matter what I named myself, what matters is that I was able to get through to you.” The boy purposely lowered his voice, as if it would make him seem mature and mysterious.
”The phone number I left is real, is it a surprise that you were able to get through? Have you called other girls before? And ended up being scammed by others?” Wen Yu didn’t take what the boy said seriously.
”I’m talking to you on a dead person’s cell phone, and the fact that the call is getting through now proves, at least, that part of what you said is true.”
”That’s quite a strange way of verification you have.” Wen Yu’s attitude became much colder, she wasn’t alarmed by what the boy said, “Tell me, what do you want from me?”
”Just simply wanting to save your life, afraid that you will go to your death.” The boy was not very old, but he seemed to have a lot of experience.
”Sending to death?”
”After a thousand years of escaping from there, why do you want to go back? I know you can’t remember a lot of things, but have you ever thought that maybe the memories are the price you paid for escaping out.” The boy opened his mouth to advise, “To give even your memories in order to escape, only to go back again in order to search for the lost memories, is there anything more stupid in the world than this?”
”I didn’t go back to look for memories, but I wanted to go to that school to look for someone.” Shizuku opened the locked drawer and looked at the notebook inside, “Shizuku is this body’s name, but not mine.”
Her fingers traced over the cover of the notebook, sliding past the word Akemi’s.
”Whatever you go back for exactly, I don’t recommend it, remember! Don’t ever go back!”
A sound of dragging something heavy came from the other side of the cell phone, and the boy hung up hastily after that sound.
”I know that place is dangerous, but there are some things you can’t run away from.” The heroine loaded the information and placed it on her bedside, then lay down on her bed clutching her cell phone.
She tried to contact the nonexistent person again, but the person never responded to him again.
”The information of this school can be searched online, it is a private institution, founded by private individuals, but looking at the pictures attached online, its scale is not at all inferior to that of a regular academy, and the floor space is even much larger than a normal academy.”
Wen Yu was set on going to this school, she took out a pen and paper and recorded all the information she found on her cell phone.
”Some of the pictures have watermarks that aren’t removed, so they might be stolen pictures, and there are also some pictures, why do they always look weird?”
I don’t know if it’s the shooting angle or the building itself, some of these pictures, whether it’s day or night outside, the room is eerie.
The woman turned off the main bedroom light and only turned on the bedside lamp, then lay down on the bed and recorded carefully.
Looking at the woman in the screen, Chen Ge thought of himself, before he started the mission, he often collected information like Wen Yu.
”This weird talk and I have a connection.”
Time passed by minute by minute, Wen Yu, who was lying on the bed, slowly fell asleep, the pen slipped out of her fingers and fell on the floor, rolling all the way to the bathroom door before stopping.
After working all day during the day and being busy studying and looking for a school at night, Wen Yu was probably too tired to sleep.
The camera pulled back and just shot Wen Yu’s sleeping position.
The director didn’t know what he was trying to convey, but he actually used a ten-second long shot to film the sleeping Wen Yu alone.
Chen Ge’s employees rarely watched movies, and one by one, they were very curious as they stared at the screen, they watched with great devotion, trying to keep up with the director’s rhythm, trying to figure out the director’s intentions.
”I admit that this woman looks good when she falls asleep, but this shot is a little too long, right?” Bai Qiulin held his tongue for half a day and uttered a comment of his own, “When she opens her eyes, she always feels like she carries an aura of resentment with her, and strangely enough, after she closes her eyes, that aura of resentment disappears.”
”This director is very powerful, I’ve seen that short movie he made before, every frame is not wasted, this long shot should have an ulterior motive.”
Chen Ge waited patiently, and not a moment later, he suddenly made a discovery, “Look at the bottom left corner of the movie screen, yes! It’s where that pen rolled down in the heroine’s hand just now.”
The bathroom door was open, and the pen was leaning against the side of the room door.
The only bright light in the entire rental house came from the bedside lamp, and because of the filming angle, the toilet was not completely dark, and there happened to be a faint ray of light shining on the bathroom mirror.
The movie screen seems to be still, it is the female lead alone sleeping, but after watching it for a long time, it will feel particularly uncomfortable.
The fundamental reason is that the picture is not completely static, there has been something moving in the bathroom in the corner of the camera!
The image on the screen looks very cozy, soft light yellow light, soft bed couch, cozy little home, and a sleeping beautiful girl.
But once the line of sight shifted to the corner of the screen and saw the scene in the bathroom, the momentary contrast would make one’s hair stand on end.
In the dimly lit bathroom, there was a woman in a red dress standing in front of the mirror, craning her neck as she kept staring at the camera!
The face was hidden amongst the darkness, and when the viewer noticed it without realizing it, it would feel like the face was looking at them through the screen.
”I knew there was something wrong!”
No matter what kind of skin this movie wears, it’s still essentially a horror movie.
The ballpoint pen on the floor rolled for no apparent reason, the woman in the bathroom had disappeared, but a woman in a red dress could be seen occasionally in the bathroom mirror, walking around the house.
Four-fifths of the screen hadn’t changed much, the only thing that had changed was the bathroom mirror.
The rental house was small, there was no living room, and the bedroom and kitchen bathroom were right next to each other.
The main screen was still cozy at this point, with just a few strange noises from time to time.
A pencil rolled on the floor, a gecko scurried away on the wall, and the bedside lamp reflected a shadow, but that shadow did not belong to the owner of the house.
The materials on the desk were turned over, and the locks on the drawers shook gently, as if someone was trying to open the drawers.
After a few moments all was quiet, and that’s when the most terrifying scene appeared.
The pillows on the bed caved in a piece downward, as if someone had crawled over to the heroine.
