Chapter 5 File 5: Soul Locking Curse ([-])
Forget it, don't think about her, or you will make another "thought error" in your dream tonight, let's think about the website!Now that Mrs. Tan is proven to be mentally ill, the illusion of that high check is completely shattered.I must start a new supernatural investigation as soon as possible, otherwise I will have to endure the torture of Xue girl again next month at this time.

Should we first investigate the reincarnation incident in Fufeng Mountain, or investigate the cursed house in Shiyang Village?In a daze, I set foot on the downhill road full of cypress trees again.

Why did you come here again?I was taken aback, isn't this road leading to Xiangyang Factory?
Am I sleepwalking?I remember saying in a horror novel that the more frightened you are of a place, the more likely you are to sleepwalk into that place.I struggled to stop the progress, but it was useless, because I felt that "other me" was firmly controlling it and moving forward.Fear is like a needle, advancing towards my heart little by little, but I can only watch helplessly, there is nothing I can do.

Turning the corner, the iron-black fence of Xiangyang Factory appeared in front of my eyes.

"Xiaoling, here I come!" I heard myself speaking in a completely unfamiliar voice.

At this moment, I suddenly realized that I was doing what Tan Xiaowei had done, or in other words, I am Tan Xiaowei now, could it be that I was Tan Xiaowei in the first place?
"I" clumsily climbed over the iron-covered fence, the voice of "woo woo..." suddenly sounded, and "I" shrank suddenly, as if being tightly pinched by an invisible hand , all the strength in the body seemed to be squeezed out, the whole person was as weak as a deflated inflatable doll, but a strong desire in my heart made "I" still insist on standing, unwilling to retreat.

"Boom...boom..." Another voice suddenly sounded in the wind, which I had never heard when I first went to Xiangyang Factory.It's a bit like a bell, but it's dull and weak, and you can't hear it if you don't listen carefully.

"Who?" I looked up suddenly, and suddenly saw a thin figure on the edge of the roof of the factory building, with a white dress and long black hair fluttering in the wind, as if it would fall from the roof at any time .

"Xiaoling!" "I" yelled, and the figure flickered and disappeared.Xiaoling?Is that person Xiao Ling?Her appearance was only for a moment, and in such a dark environment, with a distance of tens of meters, I couldn't even see the details of her face, but I did see her eyes—a pair of eyes that are bigger than the winter moon. Cold eyes.

After "I" yelled, I ran forward, knowing that I couldn't stop what happened next, the only thing I could do was to see, I wanted to see clearly before I died, how "I" died !

"I" rushed into the workshop with myself, shuttled through the maze of machines, ran up the stairs, and finally opened the iron door of the balcony and rushed out.

"Xiao Ling, where are you?" I heard my mournful voice, and the feeling at that moment was really heartbreaking.

"When..." There was a sudden muffled sound behind me, and I looked back suddenly, and suddenly found that the sound came from the blast furnace next to the building.The blast furnace is two or three meters higher than the factory building, and there is an iron ladder connecting the two.

"What's in the blast furnace?" My heart was beating so fast that I almost stopped breathing.The iron cover on the top of the blast furnace creaked open, and a pale hand stretched out from inside.

"I"'s hand softened, the DV fell to the ground, and my feet moved backwards involuntarily.The person in the blast furnace climbed out, the white dress, messy long hair, nothing on the pale face, only a pair of eyes!
The back of "I" was hard, and it touched the railing of the balcony, and there was no way to retreat!I wanted to call for help, but the hand was already on my throat.

"I hate..." I heard an extremely sharp and piercing voice, and then my body rolled back and fell into the void.

"Wow!" I screamed and "falled" on the bed, and it took me a long time to realize that I was not dead.I turned on the light, everything in the room was vivid in my mind, and the memory began to "flow back" slowly. I am Jian Zhen, not Tan Xiaowei, everything just now was just a dream!

But that dream was so real that ordinary dreams would not have such a complete plot.The sound of "Boom, Boom", that figure, and that hand are still deeply imprinted in my mind, as if I had really experienced that thing.

A bold idea flashed in my mind-could these not be dreams, but real scenes that existed in my memory?
The video we see is actually composed of continuous pictures at 24 frames per second.If the figure only appears in one or two frames, then our consciousness cannot distinguish it, but the subconscious will faithfully record it, and the dream is just a reflection of the subconscious!
This conjecture made me very excited, as if I suddenly found a breakthrough in a dark closed room.Proving this hypothesis is as simple as re-examining the video.The moment I turned on the computer, my hand hesitated, because the feeling of fear just now was too deep.I suddenly had a feeling—would that terrible hand suddenly stretch out from the screen and strangle me by the throat? !
impossible!Don't let the feelings in your dreams fool you!I stood up and walked to the window and took a few deep breaths, allowing my consciousness to gradually return to the waking state of reality.

The city outside the window shows its majestic vitality with lights, and everything is running on a normal track.Steel bars and cement are combined according to a certain ratio to build a building hundreds of meters high; gasoline is burning in the engine, which stably outputs a corresponding amount of energy.

This is a world built by science, everything is knowable, calculable and unchangeable.So even if the image of the hand really exists in the video, it is just a string of data in the memory and a set of light on the screen. It is impossible for it to protrude from the computer!

And the debts in reality, the upcoming rent, water and electricity bills, and internet bills. When I think of these, my will immediately regains my firmness-no mystery is unfathomable, and I must get that huge check !

I reopened the video, started from Tan Xiaowei's monologue at the gate of Xiangyang Factory, climbed into the fence, and the moment Tan Xiaowei called out "Who", I changed the playback mode of the video to continuous frame advance.As long as that figure really appears in the video, I can guarantee that he will never escape my sight this time.

Things are not as simple as I imagined. Although the video is less than 5 minutes long, it is more than 7000 frames when converted into a still picture!It wasn't until dawn that Tan Xiaowei was finally seen falling from the roof of the building.I can guarantee that even the first time I watched a porn movie, I was not so engrossed.But the result was disappointing - the figure in the dream did not appear in the picture at all.

Maybe that figure had disappeared when the camera turned around, maybe it was just Tan Xiaowei's hallucination just like the police judged.

There is still more than 30 seconds of the video facing the balcony guardrail, and I really don't have the courage to continue "continuing the frame".Anyway, people are already dead, and the blank scene is nothing to watch, so I clicked the button for normal playback. Anyway, I have been busy all night, and I don’t care about watching the 30-plus seconds, which is the complete end of this matter. Bar.

The camera was silently facing the empty balcony. If it wasn't for the player's timeline sliding in, people would think it was a still picture.

“04：22、04：23、04：24”视频在播放完最后一秒后，画面跳动了一下，消失了。

I let out a long breath. Although I worked hard all night and got nothing, but fortunately, this video is only 4 minutes and 24 seconds. If it is 40 minutes, it will be called inhumane!
4 minutes and 24 seconds?Suddenly another flash of light flashed through my mind, why is it 4 minutes and 24 seconds?Today's digital DV, as long as the battery is full, can at least continue to record for more than an hour.After Tan Xiaowei's DV fell to the ground, it was still working normally, so who turned it off after 30 seconds?

I thought of the shaking of the video at the last second, and the flame of hope that was extinguished in my heart immediately burned again-the DV lying on the ground could not move by itself, someone must have turned it off, so the last second of the shot will shake!

I turn the video back on, scroll to the last few seconds, and select step.The picture remained constant. When jumping to the last 12 frames, a white mist suddenly appeared in the picture, and then the mist became thicker every time it jumped. In the last frame, a white mist suddenly appeared in the center of the lens A fuzzy white shadow.

Is it a hand?My heart was beating wildly, and I could hardly believe my eyes—although this shadow was blurry, it was clearly in the shape of a hand!
Are there really ghosts in the world?If there is no ghost, then what am I seeing?
I dialed Tang Ke's phone number with trembling fingers. If it was indeed a hand, then Tan Xiaowei's death was a homicide. It is only natural that the police should know about it.

Anyone who is woken up early in the morning will definitely be upset, especially when Tang Ke knows that my purpose of waking him up is to "challenge the police's conclusion", it feels even more annoyed!
"Did you see that it is a hand? Is there such a hand that appears out of nowhere in the world? We have experts analyzed the entire video. Do you know what professional analysis is? The blurry picture that appeared in the last few frames was just because , caused by unstable current, the principle is as simple as snowflakes appearing after the TV is disturbed.”

"Then why does the DV turn off automatically?" I asked angrily.

"There can be many reasons, the DV was broken when it fell down, and the accidental machine failure, but what is certain is that there is no third party's fingerprint on the DV."

After I hung up the phone, I was frustrated, but still could not believe that the picture was caused by the electrical problem.Because if the current is unstable, the entire picture will be affected, and when the "hand" appears, other parts of the picture are still clear and complete.

But I don't intend to argue with Tang Ke, because such a blurred picture is really not convincing unless I can find more strong evidence.

I remembered the second thing in my dream that left a deep impression on me—the inspiring "dongdong" sound.Is that voice also real?

The location where the video was shot is in the wild, and the sound environment is relatively complicated. For someone like me who is born lacking in music, it is almost impossible to identify some subtle sounds.

Fortunately, I majored in computer science, and know that there is a software called "sound spectrum analysis" in the world.You only need to import the audio track of the video into a special sound analysis program, and on the sound wave spectrogram, the details of each sound will be clearly seen, which is much easier than checking the screen with continuous frames.

When Tan Xiaowei yelled "Who" on the video screen, the sound spectrogram immediately began to beat complicatedly, and a group of weak fluctuations appeared in the bass band.

Is it this one?I independently extracted the sound in the bass range, and then amplified it, and the muffled sound of "boom...boom..." was immediately transmitted to my ears clearly.

The voice in the dream is real!This discovery strengthened my confidence in further exploration.The video continued to play until the moment before Tan Xiaowei was frightened on the balcony, the sound of "dong dong" appeared again.And I also noticed the second special place, that is, whenever the sound of "咚咚" sounded, the camera would move sharply, and the first target it aimed at was the black building next to the factory building. blast furnace!
This shows that the sound is coming from the blast furnace!
Why is Tan Xiaowei so sensitive to that voice?I looked at the steel giant-like blast furnace in the frozen frame, maybe the best way to solve the problem is to go back to Xiangyang Factory and see this blast furnace with my own eyes!
[-]. I found Xiaoling

The weather is fine today, the sun is shining on everything, giving people a sense of safety and security.Although I was also standing outside the gate of Xiangyang Factory, I couldn't feel the chill atmosphere last night at all.

When we were on the road just now, Xue Yatou called.She is very well-informed, she actually found out so quickly that I approached Tang Ke last night and asked me if I had found any new clues, and if there was any action, she would also participate in Yunyun.It wouldn't matter if she was a burden for other investigations, but I always have a shadow in my heart about Xiangyang Factory, so I just found an excuse to prevaricate her.

I climbed over the fence and walked towards the black iron blast furnace step by step.Under the sunlight, the blast furnace stood there like a huge steel giant, and the steel frames and conveyor belts surrounding it were spread out like the giant's hands and feet.

Seeing that it was almost under the blast furnace, a black shadow suddenly appeared from the grass.I took a closer look, and it turned out to be a black dog with shiny fur.The black dog barked fiercely at me baring its teeth, and from time to time it looked like it was going to pounce on me.

My heart trembled for a while, although this dog is not a wolfhound Tibetan mastiff, it probably wouldn't be able to put me down in a real fight.But even if I kill it, it's useless, as long as I bite it, it will be miserable. Who knows if it has rabies!

When I was a child, my mother taught me that when I met a dog, I must not run away. When you don’t move, it is afraid of you, and if you run away, it will catch up and bite you immediately.I looked around for a while, then picked up two bricks with my body, yelled and threw them at the beast.

The dog was very clever, and ran back in a flash.As soon as I saw the opportunity, I rushed desperately into the nearby factory building.It's too far away from the fence, and if you run back, it will definitely catch up with it. The only way is to run inside.There are stairs in the factory building. As long as I climb up to the high place, I don't believe that dogs can fly.

I rushed to the tall factory building in a few steps, and just like in the video, the gate opened a crack more than a foot wide.But when I was about to rush into the gate, I suddenly saw a pool of dark blood in front of the gate, and a white human-shaped wire frame surrounding the blood.

This is where Tan Xiaowei fell!The white wire frame is the trace left by the police during the body identification, and it accurately records the form of Tan Xiaowei at the last moment of his life.I seemed to see Tan Xiaowei's body inside the white wire frame, with his mind cracked, his limbs twisted, and white and dark red liquid splashing everywhere...

And my falling right foot was about to step on his "head". The inertia of the rush made me unable to stop, so I had to push my left foot hard, and my body jumped from the human-shaped wire frame in the air. past.

Although reason tells me that even if I step into the wireframe, nothing will happen, and there are no corpses there, but my instinct makes me fear it like a poisonous snake. Death has happened in that wireframe, No one wants to have anything to do with death!
As soon as I rushed into the gate, I immediately wanted to close the gate, but the two gates stood still as if they were cast on the guide rails, "Wow!" The dog rushed over aggressively.

I had no choice but to run inside in a panic. The factory was very dark, and the bright sunshine outside seemed to have nothing to do with the inside.I walked among the machinery and debris, and those layers of barbed wire that separated the entire space here like a maze.

The barbed wire fence separated me from the black dog. It could only snarl and stamp at me helplessly, but I also found that I was lost.The space outside is only a dozen meters away, and it can be seen through with the naked eye.But no matter how I went around, those layers of iron nets always blocked in front of me like a thick fog that would never dissipate.
