Otherworldly Merchant
Chapter 197: Photographer Steve
I agree with Cold Frost that to fix this, you have to start with the camera. But because of the age, wanting to find out the truth is really difficult. In times of crisis, we thought of Wang Tesuke again.
As soon as this fool heard something cold, please, he rushed up his ass.
Ask him where he can read the news from. Wang Tesuke thought about it and responded seriously: “You can go to the provincial library, where all the newspapers after the liberation of Hangzhou are stored. ”
The frost brightened his eyes and took us off without thinking.
Wang Tesuke drove us to the provincial library and was keenly concerned about the cold. But at this moment, the goddess's mind is full of ghost houses, evil ghosts and other things. She has no heart to deal with him at all. Wang Tesuke can't help but reveal a sad look.
We rushed to the library and, with the help of Special Agent Wang, successfully entered the place where all the newspapers were stored after liberation. A hundred square meters room was filled with dozens of tall bookshelves, and each floor was filled with newspapers. One by one, I guess I'm not far from old age...
Frosty ignored my protest and immediately instructed us to start looking for all the news about the haunted house. Wang Tesuke looked stunned: “Miss Cold, are you interested in haunted houses too? ”
I thought badly: she's not interested in ghost houses, she's interested in all ghosts!
Me and Cold Frost and Wang Tesuke started reading a newspaper, and when I was tired of sore back, I looked up and found the sunglasses man standing around with his arms in his spare time to watch the noise. I protested to the cold, “Hey! You can't be so hard with your eccentricity, can you? Why didn't he come to the paper? ”
The cold clouds gently said: "The reason is very simple, he doesn't read. He hasn't read a day of martial arts since he was a child. ”
Well, that reason is so fierce that I can't even say a word against it.
Too harsh!
I want to throw up when I see the dense numbness in the newspaper, but it's all full of food price rises, the government of the Republic is unable to news, I can see the confusion, I want to faint at any time.
Just a second before I was about to give up, Wang Tesuke suddenly cried: "Come and see the news about the haunted house. ”
Cold Frost and I rushed to the past and only saw a fire in the yellow newspaper.
The fire house was in the ghost house, which was originally a photo studio owned by a French named Steve. Unfortunately, the Chinese people at the time were still very corrupt. They didn't know much about photography. Even then, the Bailian church rumoured that the camera was invented by evil spirits. As soon as it was filmed, it would be sucked away. Coincidentally, a republican girl student was accidentally killed by a tram on her way home after taking a photograph, and her family, reminiscent of the White Lotus religion, felt that Steve had killed her daughter.
At that time, the incident became more violent because of the involvement of foreigners, including the White Lotus incitement to fire. Later, people blamed the government for protecting foreigners, simply organized a mob to rush to the photo studio, and a fire burned down the photo studio...
The news also said that Steve had escaped from his death because of an incident outside the house, but that his family was less fortunate and that all seven innocent people, including his wife and children, had died as a result of the fire, and that Steve was close to collapsing and almost insane.
Then he returned to France in a dusty manner, and nothing came of it.
Cold as frost and I sneak up and say, "Is this the camera Steve left behind? His family died in that fire, so they became ghosts attached to cameras to hurt people? ”
But I always thought it wouldn't be as simple as that.
I suddenly came up with a way to negotiate with Cold Frost: "Do you remember that dream I had that night? The night I went to the haunted house, I saw a lot of people, they could all have been killed by cameras. I want to try to dream like that again, this time you're watching in the dark, so long as I'm not in danger, don't rush to save me. ”
Cold as a frost is a little worried: "Is it too risky? ”
“Our industry is always dangerous!” I comforted her and decided to implement the plan tonight.
On the way back to the hotel, Assistant Wang asked carefully who we were. With all this fuss, the fool also knows that we are not here to ask for peace.
Cold as frost smiled: “Let me tell you the truth, we are with Mr. Bai.” Anyway, Mr. Bai has come to us on her own initiative to seek cooperation, and it is not a lie to her to say so.
Wang Tesuke looked surprised, but didn't say much.
When I got back to the hotel, I told Cold Frost some specific details. But I know in my heart that this is an emergency and that great danger is inevitable.
That night, I fell asleep with the camera in my hand.
Soon after, I went to Dreamland and came back to the room with countless photos. This time without the previous tension and panic, I began to study the photographs carefully, and I stumbled upon the fact that all of these were post-mortem images.
The Chinese have a long tradition of legacy, and although there were no premium products like cameras in ancient times, successive emperors or wealthy people would ask painters to paint for themselves and leave them to future generations to admire.
I saw the door in the room and walked in unexpectedly.
Turns out it's that ghost house, it's spotless and extra quiet around. When the footsteps came again, I didn't panic and looked at them one by one.
They looked at me with numbness and seemed to disdain my arrival.
These people dress differently, all the time. I even saw four fashionable young people in there, and if I'm right, they should be the four college students that went with Lin Li.
Why are their souls here?
They were obviously terrified of the camera in my hand, surrounded by a circle, but did not dare to move forward.
I asked quietly, "Who knows where this camera is coming from? ”
No one answered, I had to ask again and explain: “I am here to help you, if you do not unlock the secrets of the camera, your souls will be trapped here forever! ”
This time there was some movement in the crowd, and the last girl in the Republic costume slowly came out and said pitifully: “I know where it came from! ”
