Chapter 382 Possession_2
The screen was very familiar.
"Eh?" Yan Junze looked over in surprise, "You're also watching this video?"
"Yeah." Ku Zai nodded, "I've watched it several times, and my opinion aligns with other netizens, it's highly likely that this Possession Spirit is attaching itself through the camera lens."
"Then why keep watching? Aren't you afraid it will spread through the video and you'll get possessed?" Yan Junze laughed.
Ku Zai lifted his head in panic, looking at him: "I really hadn't considered that, is it true? Brother Yan, it's not really like that, is it?"
Yan Junze shook his head and smiled: "Just kidding."
At that moment, Xiang Er finished washing the vegetables and brought them inside, and Ku Zai put down his phone to help out.
Yan Junze watched his retreating figure, and after a moment, suddenly spoke softly: "Others might not, but with you watching that video, it's hard to say."
The hot and sour hotpot was very appetizing, and Yan Junze had four bowls of rice, adding several portions of meatballs, Spam, and beef tripe on top of the prepared vegetables.
With a full belly, the dinner table was cleaned up, Ku Zai rushed to do the dishes since there was hot water, and Xiang Er did not have to do it.
Yan Junze called Xiang Er over to him and asked, "Although Ku Zai has been sleeping in the rental next door, have you noticed anything unusual lately?"
Xiang Er nodded: "The week before last, a strangeness was attracted here by Ku Zai, around four in the morning. I sensed it immediately and went out, saw it trying to slip through the crack under Ku Zai's door. Just before it succeeded, I pulled it out and destroyed it."
Yan Junze nodded: "Keep a close eye on him, the guy has been getting better nutrition lately, not as skinny as he used to be."
Xiang Er gave an affirmative response.
Yan Junze continued: "Also, especially in these past few days, pay attention to whether there's anything unusual about Ku Zai, specifically reinforce your detection and deterrence of other strangenesses; you can't be careless."
Xiang Er looked a bit surprised but she didn't ask why, just nodded her head.
At that moment, Ku Zai brought in the washed dishes and casually said, "That video looked so thrilling, no one expected the ending to be like that. It'd be great if we could find the whereabouts of Ding Jun and his friends."
This kid had finished doing the dishes and was still pondering the video he had just watched.
After leaving the rental, Yan Junze, a little worried, made a call to Zhang Xiaomo to ask if there had been any news in Great Capital Huaying about the missing Possession Spirit from the USA.
Zhang Xiaomo said she hadn't heard any news; perhaps the Possession Spirit that emerged from the altar had completely hidden itself, or perhaps it had been captured or killed by a high-level Exorcist in the USA.
Then Yan Junze asked her if she knew about a weird video that was recently going viral, produced by the "No Action, No Death" team.
Zhang Xiaomo immediately realized which one he was talking about but then informed him that the video was shot in Shouzheng District, not Tianmeng, so it was under the jurisdiction of other Exorcists, and she wasn't very clear on the follow-up situation.
However, it was very likely that Ding Jun and his friends were in grave danger. Zhang Xiaomo promised to try to find out more and see if she could learn the whereabouts of the people who filmed that video.
Were they really all dead, or was it all just a prank? If it was a prank, would the team reappear after the hype died down to spark another sensation and give their popularity another boost?
Tianyi District.
"Open Your Eyes" Video Distribution Technology Limited Company headquarters, a roughly thirty-story building with floors one, two, and three housing a shopping mall and the upper floors occupied by larger companies, each of which usually takes up three to five floors.
The "Open Your Eyes" video platform was on the sixteenth to the twentieth floor.
Although it was already evening, most of these five floors still had rooms with lights on, as working on videos often involves staying up late.
Some of the videos uploaded by netizens were actually quite well-shot, but they lacked technical handling, such as editing, too frequent camera shaking, and inadequate lighting enhancement, which greatly diminished the watching experience.
It was either too shaky or too dimly lit to see clearly.
Therefore, at this time, the company platform would send out a group of people to work overnight on these videos with good stories but unable to meet the broadcasting standards due to technical reasons.
There are actually quite a lot of such videos, so processing them is somewhat time-consuming and labor-intensive. In one night, it's quite impressive to fine-tune three to four videos.
Ge Lei is the head of the "Open Your Eyes" headquarters' Technical Repair Department. Although the night was getting late, working overtime had become normal for him, so he planned to rest in the office that evening instead of going home.
In front of Ge Lei, the computer screen displayed a video clip from a video database.
Most of these files had already been restored and were named after their respective folders for differentiation.
At this time, Ge Lei opened a folder named "No Action, No Death."
There were more than twenty video files in the folder, but Ge Lei's gaze was on the last two videos.
The first of these two videos was the one currently going viral online about the strangeness possessing through a camera lens.
Ge Lei's cursor hovered over the first video without stopping and then slowly moved to the second video.
This video hadn't been uploaded to the internet but had been kept in Ge Lei's database all this time.
