The amount of information Bai Su brought was no less than the level of a nuclear bomb.
The human's attention was suddenly diverted from why he stayed up late at night and went out in the rain.
It’s not that we won’t settle the accounts, but we’ll postpone it for the time being.
The screen of the mobile phone is only so big. If it is placed in the center of the table, it is enough for everyone to see it, but it is not so clear.
Seeing that all the humans were looking at him, Bai Su stretched out his index finger and double-clicked on the dark screen.
The play button disappeared, and at the same time, the sound of rain came from the phone.
When the pattering rain sounded, the lens was still dark. Then the lens shook and fluctuated violently, revealing a dark leaf.
Bai Su explained at the right moment: "I took the photo while climbing on a tree."
The camera continued to shake, but it was more stable than before, so you wouldn't feel dizzy if you stared at it for a long time.
After the mobile phone was stretched out from the pile of leaves, it finally saw the light. The moonlight was not bright, but it was still possible to see clearly what the photographer wanted to record.
There is someone outside the door.
A dark figure stood outside the door of the courtyard where they lived. The photographer changed his hand after finding that it was impossible to see clearly from this angle.
Gao Tianyi: "Wait a minute, won't your hands get knotted?"
Bai Su: "No."
Facing the young man's question, the black-haired young man took someone else's mobile phone and showed him a very difficult and flexible pose.
Seeing that Bai Su could indeed show off, Gao Tianyi could only swallow his doubts, and was still a little bit murmuring in his heart.
After adjusting the angle, the distance was adjusted. The picture was suddenly enlarged and very clear, making people wonder how this was captured.
But...human hands are not that long, right?
After glancing at the persimmon tree outside the window, the human discovered that the farthest branch could almost achieve this distance, but it required a bit of weight for the person sitting on it.
No matter how Bai Su looked at it... it didn't fit the bill. Even if Qi Zhuyue, the lightest member of their team, climbed up, the branches would break, unless she was a child.
However, soon, humans no longer had time to worry about how the images were captured.
They began to be surprised by the humans captured under the camera...no, biological definition is more appropriate. They were surprised by the creatures that appeared.
"What is that?" Qi Zhuyue blurted out, "It's too... too weird"...
An indescribable feeling of nausea appeared in the only woman present. She seemed to have taken on the fish-eye perspective of the villagers in the video, and the other people and objects instantly became distorted.
At the same time, the saltiness of the sea water and a deep-seated rancid smell emerged from her nose. The woman covered her nose and realized that it was in vain. She searched and found that the smell came from herself.
No wonder she couldn't get rid of it, it turned out to be herself——
In a daze, Qi Zhuyue began to scratch her arm. Her arm felt a little itchy, but before she could scratch it a few times, she was woken up by someone.
"Qi Zhuyue!"
The deep male voice was deafening, and Qi Zhuyue was confused and broke away from the false senses.
The view in front of her eyes was slightly blocked because Gao Tianyi put a talisman on her forehead; her arms were spread out to both sides because Xia Chengyin and Tang Nuo were holding her arms down on the left and right.
Right in front of Qi Zhuyue, Bai Su held up first aid supplies such as ointments and bandages that he took out from his bag.
The video on the phone screen has been paused.
The moment the human woman saw the fish-eyed villager, her eyes were blank and blank. Within a few seconds, she seemed to have seen something indescribable. She coughed and became nauseated, and began to scratch herself continuously.
Others reacted in time, but Qi Zhuyue still scratched her a few times. The woman's slender nails left several scratches of varying depths on her arms. In serious places, the skin was scratched and bleeding.
Qi Zhuyue's state looked a little familiar to Bai Su.
He looked through his memory, and when he handed over the ointment and other items, he found the answer.
Isn't this the state he was in when he came out from under the huge banyan tree at Fuzhao Temple?
His face was pale, his breath was unstable, and he didn't know what he "saw", which scared him so much.
He remembered that the human condition was... too much inspiration?
When a person's inspiration is too high, something will happen from time to time. Most of the time, it manifests itself in seeing some ominous people or things that are beyond the ability to accept. When the rationality is interrupted for a moment, you will fall into an illusory scene that only you can see.
Bai Su tapped the table with his finger, and while the human was dealing with the wound, he suddenly spoke: "Miss Qi's state just now..."
The human looked towards him. The black-haired young man did not dodge and continued what he had not finished: "...it seems a bit familiar. I seem to have seen it somewhere."
The man next to him frowned. Under the doubtful gaze of the minor, they turned their backs slightly and began to make eye contact.
Xia Chengyin: Haven’t you said anything yet?
Qi Zhuyue: I didn’t say...
Xia Chengyin: Isn’t it okay to talk about it?
Qi Zhuyue: No chance...
Tang Nuo: Forget it, I’ll go.
The eye contact ended not long after it started. The young man wearing glasses turned around and waved to Bai Su, indicating that he should follow him.
Bai Su also stood up and followed him.
They came to the kitchen next door. The kitchen in this house was clean, even the stove was covered with a thin layer of dust. They had no intention of using it during their short stay, so they simply swept the floor.
The two stood still in the kitchen. The one with glasses cleared his throat and quickly formed his sentences.
What Humanity and Bai Su revealed was the truth about Fuzhao Temple.
Although Bai Su knew about it, he still pretended to be ignorant and listened to the humans' stories, comparing the difference between what humans knew about the Fuzhao Temple incident and what he knew.
"...That's about it." Tang Nuo pushed up his glasses, "That's why you feel familiar with Qi Zhuyue. She dressed up as 'Wen Wenxue' and went with you."
Except for things related to dreams, humans can detect almost everything.
The evil spirits worshiped behind the Fuzhao Temple, the temple deceived pilgrims in the name of evil spirits, and finally held ceremonies in the name of the Dharma Assembly.
Bai Su nodded in understanding. Just when Tang Nuo thought that the other party had completely accepted it, Bai Su raised a new question.
The black-haired young man twirled his chin and asked casually: "But why did Miss Qi dress up as Wei Wenxue and go with me?"
Tang Nuo: Good question.
Tang Nuo: It can’t be said that Xia Chengyin thought you had a problem and sent someone to monitor you, right?
After thinking about it at the speed of light, the human beings from EQ Online gave this answer: "At that time, the special department felt that something was wrong with the temple, but they were afraid of attracting attention, so they had to sneak in in another way. It happened to be within the department's attention at that time... "
It was a far-fetched answer, but Bai Su didn't want to get to the bottom of it, he just asked casually.
The black-haired young man did not ask why so many people chose him alone, nor why An Xiangwen was not selected. Maybe it was due to gender incompatibility?
Qi Zhuyue's performance is far from lifelike, and she will definitely show shyness in front of the people she is most familiar with. Maybe she can grow up over time, but now she can only play familiar strangers.
Look at the two times she played in front of Bai Su. Once she was an acquaintance of a friend. There was a layer of relationship between them, so she would naturally be exposed later. The other time is now, playing a woman who has not returned home for a long time, and there is a time barrier.
"In that case..." The black-haired young man frowned slightly, "Why is Qi Zhuyue here?"
In such a village that contains secrets, just like in Fuzhao Temple, a human woman with super inspiration may take two steps and see a picture that ordinary people cannot see. To the other person's rational spirit, this is not What a good thing.
Bai Su wasn't worried about humans, he just felt that Qi Zhuyue was suitable but not suitable.
It's suitable because people from the special department can get some information that cannot be observed from the surface with her, but it's not suitable because...Qi Zhuyue's endurance time in the mission can be very short.
If I saw someone similar to him when I entered the village this time, maybe human women would not wake up.
In this regard, the young man wearing glasses explained helplessly: "She was not the one who was originally booked... Due to some accidents, Qi Zhuyue took the place."
"It has to be said that her abilities are applicable to many situations."
Therefore, in fact, the team of young men and women who accidentally wander into the mountain village or come here specifically to collect news is the original script, and the team of young men and women who follow their friends back to their hometown is the backup script. The two have different dominant roles.
Bai Su didn't ask who was originally scheduled, because the other party couldn't come in now.
"Then why don't you send more people here?" The black-haired young man asked another question, "No matter how few people there are in the department... there are still more people than there are in this village, right?"
In Bai Su's view, the country he used as a human being lives in a country with vast territory and rich resources. Another major feature is its large population, accounting for more than 20% of the world's population.
If we use the human wave tactic, maybe we can——
"No." Tang Nuo shook his head, "Sending many people over hastily will only have the opposite effect."
"If you step in when you don't know what the trap is, if you fall into it..."
Bai Su nodded as if he understood: "Yes."
The monster put himself in his shoes and thought about it. Assuming that he was the mastermind behind this place, that is, the biggest boss, it is estimated that the moment humans stepped into his territory, they would be fascinated by the white catkins scattered in the air.
If there are a large number of people, it will be even more crazy in large quantities.
The symptoms of human madness seem to be all kinds of strange, including hurting oneself and hurting others, as well as escaping behavior, and even worse, admiration and dependence on people or non-human things.
Thinking about it this way, maybe sleeping forever in the collapse of reason is not a blessing.
Bai Su thought, He thought proudly.
After solving the problem of familiarity with Qi Zhuyue, the two returned to the next door.
The long-haired woman who had already been treated for scratches had a few band-aids on her arms, which would become invisible once she put on her coat.
Qi Zhuyue's face was pale, her lips and cheeks had lost all color, and she was sipping hot water in small sips.
She talked about what she had just seen, mainly describing her distorted perspective and the fishy smell that could not be dispelled.
"The fishy smell..." Gao Tianyi rested his chin on the table and repeated, "Brother Bai, did you smell it at that time?"
The black-haired young man made a suspicious nasal sound, and the young man pointed to the mobile phone still on the table.
"Just the smell of that guy at the door when you were taking the video."
Gao Tianyi spoke lightly, but Bai Su didn't fall for it.
The persimmon tree is as tall as it is, and its branches extend out of the courtyard wall in a zigzag manner, but it is still a little far away from the courtyard entrance. In addition, it rained heavily last night, and many things were soaked heavily in the soil.
"I didn't pay attention." Bai Su gave this answer, "The rain was a bit heavy, and a lot of smells were mixed together."
The young man didn't get the answer and didn't care. He took the initiative to click on the video and continued watching.
Everyone present except Qi Zhuyue had passed the san check. Seeing the big faces of the fish-eyed villagers made them feel a little disgusted.
Because it is really ugly, so ugly that people’s eating movements are slowed down by two points.
Bai Su: Why do humans want to eat after watching this video?
He doesn’t understand, and he doesn’t understand either.
The mobile phone camera faithfully recorded the whole process of the fish-eye villager stretching out his hand with webbed toes and applying it to the courtyard door. Human attention quickly moved away from the villager and began to study what the other person had drawn.
Someone brought a pen and paper and copied it on the paper.
Due to the occasional shake of the lens and not being close enough, the traced pattern is a bit distorted, but overall it looks pretty similar.
"What's painted on this?" Gao Tianyi leaned his head, squeezed beside the person, turned the paper over and looked at it, but didn't see anything, "Words? Patterns? Or a magic circle?"
The young man spoke quickly, and Ba Ba Ba mentioned several possibilities, but they were all rejected.
In the end, Qi Zhuyue, who was still holding the hot water cup and sipping on it, raised her hand and said, "Is it just a mark... After all, the villagers don't look very smart in this state."
The adult and minor men looked at each other, and the younger one stretched out his hand to fold and collect the scrawled paper, pretending that nothing happened.
The paused video can be replayed, and after seeing the fish-eyed villager as a being with little intelligence, his every move seems to be understandable.
"Should I just execute an order? I feel that my ability to think independently is limited."
"Maybe? Did you find something? I searched for a long time, looking for my mobile phone, but I didn't see it?"
"...Since ancient times, CT has not raised its head."
"What did you say?"
"...Ahem, it's okay. The information is still too little. How can we rely only on this video-"
The human discussion suddenly came to a halt. The short-haired police officer stopped what he was about to say, quickly dragged Bai Su's cell phone in front of him, adjusted the video to 0.5x speed, and began to slow down the video.
After the fish-eyed villager finished painting the door, he seemed to have completed his task and was about to leave. His shaky steps stopped after a few steps, followed by a series of dazzling movements.
There were roars, unexplained movements, and then the screen shrunk.
Xia Chengyin: "Did you take your phone back?"
Bai Su: "Huh? Well, they are making a lot of noise. If they maintain the height just now, they may be affected."
Saying half-truths, Bai Su looked at the human being with a solemn expression as he saw the scene of villagers using broken branches to poke through the black mud.
Immediately, Tang Nuo stood up and walked out, followed by Gao Tianyi, and soon they both came back.
"There is half a branch stuck in the doorway, and the mud on the side is almost dry."
The video ends with the fish-eye villager picking up the broken flashlight and walking away. The video is sent to other human mobile phones for them to watch again and again.
The human returned the phone to Bai Su and asked casually: "Where did you go after that?"
The young man in question flipped up his nearly dried black hair and replied lazily: "I went for a drive, it wasn't very far. It was about three o'clock in the morning."
There are still more than two hours until dawn.
