The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 429 Another Missing Case
"Why is it still a computer desktop?"

This was a question asked by Zhang Qisheng and many people in the viewing room, and even whispered.

Zhang Qisheng originally regarded the clip edited from the computer desktop as a novel way to introduce the background of the story and draw out the protagonist.

The clip of just a few minutes allows the audience to understand the growth and experience of this family. It ends with the death of the mother from cancer, so the feature film should start, right?
The lens should come out, right?

It should return to the normal screen, right?

But no, it's still a computer desktop.

There is no camera, no camera, no storyboard, and there is no tendency to separate from the computer desktop at all.

Is there only a desktop after the whole movie?Even in addition to the computer desktop, there is also a mobile phone desktop.

Can this also be called a movie?No camera, no lens, is that plausible?Is this appropriate?

But it seems... It doesn't prevent the audience from understanding the plot.

Even the plot is quite smooth.

The laptop seems to be a tool shared by the male protagonist in his office and life. Through the work on the computer desktop, video editing, video calls, QQ and WeChat communication, the audience can intuitively see the work of the father and daughter since the death of the hostess of the family. with life.

The father changed his job and moved to a foreign company with less busy work and more freedom. He could spare more time to take care of his daughter. The daughter was also admitted to a university in the local city with excellent academic performance. She was like a fish in water in the university. pride.

It's just that the shadow of the mother's death still hangs over the daily life of the father and daughter, allowing the audience to keenly capture a trace of discord.

During a video call between the father and his daughter while working, the two sides had a dispute. The university the daughter attended was a local school, and she registered with the school. She usually stayed at the school from Monday to Friday and would go home on weekends.

In the video conversation, my daughter said that the final exam is coming soon, which is related to the scholarship for this school year, so she plans to not go home after the piano class this weekend, and review in the library with her friends so that she can concentrate on her studies.

The father has always been proud of his daughter who is optimistic, generous, and excellent in character and learning. After his wife passed away, he was more emotionally accommodating to his daughter, so although he was slightly dissatisfied, he still agreed.

The big meal that was supposed to be prepared was also put on hold, and my father returned to work and video conferences with colleagues abroad.

A busy computer desktop transitions into an animated screensaver in a quick clip.

The gorgeous and quiet dynamic light and shadow are repeated on the computer desktop, like a starry sky, and there is a certain anxiety hidden in the silence.

Suddenly, the WeChat video call appeared in the upper right corner of the desktop screen saver accompanied by harsh ringtones.

From Shanshan.

Daughter's video call request.

Below the animated screen saver is a concise Arabic numerals time - 00:17 minutes.

Zhang Qisheng was excited, and the plot began to be interesting.

The dynamic light and shadow of the animated screen saver seemed to have a hypnotic effect in the previous moment, and the discordant notes suddenly pierced the silence, matching the time of 00:17.

A strong heart palpitation and uneasiness arise spontaneously.

Then the screen switched from the screen saver to the screen of the computer camera.

Just like in the dark night in the infrared lens, the father was lying on his side on the bed, the thin blanket on his body was a little messy, and there was a faint buzzing sound.

A little red light flickered on the bedside table.

Although the mobile phone could not be seen in the blurry and sleepy computer camera, everyone in the viewing room was sure that the mobile phone was vibrating.

The second thought was that her daughter Shanshan was calling her father.

There's no soundtrack, but the sense of unease spreads quickly.

The screen jumped again and returned to the computer desktop.

It was already the second day, and the mouse clicked on the two video call requests that were not answered last night. A video dialog box popped up on the side of the WeChat dialog box, showing the picture of his father lying on the table and biting bread.

The ringtone requesting a video call kept ringing, but the other party "Shanshan" never got through.

Dad started calling again, but the phone didn't connect.

[Should I turn off my phone when I go to the library to study?Call me back at noon]

The father sent a message to his daughter on the computer WeChat.

The uneasiness not only infected Zhang Qisheng and others in front of the screen, but also gradually gnawed at the somewhat anxious father in the desktop video dialog box.

Until the mouse clicked on the calendar, the words of piano lessons in the notes made the father in the video dialog a little annoyed and relieved.

Because his wife likes the piano, his daughter has been learning piano since she was a child, and her skills are very good. When she arrived at university, he even found a teacher who had been the principal piano teacher in a symphony orchestra to teach her daughter.

In addition to cultivating artistic sentiment, in his opinion, his daughter's piano skills have surpassed the general amateur level. Even if the professional development is not good in the future, she can still make a living by teaching piano classes.

Father manipulated the mouse and opened a notepad on the computer desktop, which contained the contact information of the piano teacher.

"Can my daughter answer the phone?"

"...I don't quite understand what you mean. Li Yingshan hasn't been here five months ago. Does she want to come to class again?"

There was a long silence.

"Impossible, she likes the piano the most..."

While subconsciously denying the facts in front of him, the father used the mouse to scroll through the WeChat history with his daughter, and used keywords to find information related to the piano.

Piano lessons cost 45 yuan per 600-minute class, and my daughter received every WeChat transfer.

[How is the class going? 】

【Teacher Wang is great at teaching! 】

"His daughter lied... There is something else hidden." Zhang Qisheng felt more uneasy and suspenseful in his heart.

Also being a parent, Zhang Qisheng can understand this kind of thunderbolt better, and at the same time, there is a suspense rising, which is exciting.

The hero's heart kept sinking, and he began to talk to his brother in the WeChat dialog box on the desktop, wanting to call the police.

The younger brother tried to comfort the restless male protagonist by saying that he had dealt with his parents when he was a child and ran out to play.

[Maybe she just ran out to play? 】

[No mobile phone?Phone off?not answer the phone? 】

[Have you asked her friends? 】

There was another silence.

[She never gave me her friend's phone number. 】

[If you don't know her friends, who else does? 】

Accompanied by the suspenseful music, Zhang Qisheng said hello in his heart, and the text from his younger brother in the WeChat dialog box on the computer desktop shocked him like Hong Zhong Dalu.

While applauding him, he couldn't help but ask himself, does he know his son's classmates and friends?
do not understand!
This was not an important matter at first, but if he really encountered the situation of the male protagonist in the movie, he could only do nothing but call the police like a headless chicken. His son's classmates, friends, socializing, He didn't grasp it at all.

"It's a bit like the first episode of "Black Mirror"?" The operations director beside him sighed softly.

Zhang Qisheng nodded silently. The first episode of the first season of "Black Mirror" is also based on the case of a little girl's disappearance as the introduction and main line, and it is basically based on the current level of Internet technology development as the background of the story.

The same is true for the first episode of "Black Mirror II". Never seen before, the camera, the lens, and the film film are abandoned, and the story is told entirely through the editing of the computer desktop.

The subsequent plot made Zhang Qisheng even more shocked.

"But you and Shanshan are friends, right?"

"Hmm... barely counted?"

"You are roommates."

"But Li Yingshan and I seldom talk, and we're actually not very close."

"...But she must have friends, right?"

"Well... that depends on how you define a friend..."

After the male protagonist decisively reported to the police, the police station sent police officers to the male protagonist's home. The police needed the male protagonist to provide as much information as possible about his daughter and his daughter's life, study and social interaction.At the same time, the hero also contacted the school, and the school counselor also provided the phone number of the classmate.

The male protagonist created an excel form to sort out and record the information obtained from the video calls of each of his daughter's classmates.

But as the phone and video calls progressed, the male protagonist was surprised to find that his daughter Li Yingshan was completely different from the daughter he thought.

Let Zhang Qisheng turn from "interesting" to shock and consternation. In the quickly edited computer desktop and audio and video dialogues, accompanied by the music that gradually raises the rhythm, the whole plot has turned into a more suspenseful and even horrifying atmosphere.

Yes, it's horror.

"She likes to be alone."

"I don't know her very well."

"She hardly participates in school, class or club activities."

"She doesn't talk much..."

"I saw her eating lunch alone in the cafeteria."

"Last Friday?"

"It's like this every day, she... doesn't fit in well."

"I didn't know she had other friends."

"Does she have friends? I don't know much."

"..."

With the pounding of the piano keys, Zhang Qisheng's inner horror reached its peak, and the screen turned into a phantom.

"You are not a member, this film needs to be purchased"

Zhang Qisheng took the opportunity to relieve the tension accumulated just now, and nodded to the staff of the computer technology department, indicating to log in to the account.

Zhang Qisheng deliberately made people not log in to the company's member account today, but played the movie as a non-member tourist.

He just wanted to see where the first episode of DreamWorks' "Black Mirror II" stopped for free.

Generally, the fate of the Internet University is determined in the first 6 minutes. After 6 minutes, it will be seen whether it can continue to retain the audience and form an effective broadcast, or allow non-members to pay for on-demand broadcasts after 6 minutes.

"Two 10 minutes!" Someone exclaimed.

The movie obviously lasted more than 6 minutes for free, but 10 minutes was beyond Zhang Qisheng's expectations.

But there is no doubt that this is definitely a very appropriate time point. He believes that any viewer who sees this will either pay for on-demand or subscribe, or search for pirated resources, and it is absolutely impossible to ignore it.

Even if you don't consider the quality, just look at the membership conversion or the attractiveness of pay-on-demand, this is definitely an excellent suspenseful work, and it is a top online university.
