Chapter 43 Chapter 43: The Third Night: The Video Tape

"What's the reason?" Under the warmth of the bonfire, my fatigue gradually eased, and the pain hit me, and there was no pain anywhere in my body. However, I didn't care about the discomfort, and focused on the third uncle by the bonfire body. Under the firelight, the third uncle looked gloomy. He took another big puff of cigarettes before continuing, "Can you believe me when I tell you?" He looked at me, and I was dumbfounded. Obviously, I couldn't believe it. I swore to believe him absolutely in the hospital before, but I broke my promise, but third uncle didn't tell the truth. The game between us seems to have entered a stage In this case, any explanation from the third uncle is futile.

He smiled hoarsely, and said: "If I want to lie to you, it is because I have to lie to you for a reason, and I will definitely lie to the last moment. I guess you won't believe me if I tell you. Instead of wasting my strength, wait until we find her, and ask her yourself." I let out a long sigh, and suddenly felt a great distance from the uncle who was so close before me, and I couldn't help saying, "Third uncle, I really don't want to do this, and I also want to go back to our past, what do you say?" I never said it when I was second, but now I really can't see through you, so we can't argue again? You let your eldest nephew."

The third uncle looked at me and lit a cigarette again: "Nephew, this is the last time. I promise, I'm too tired. This time, it's really the last time." The two of us looked at each other and smiled wryly. We were speechless. I felt very uncomfortable. I didn’t know what it was like. I always felt that there was an unresolvable knot in my heart, and it was not a hemp rope, but a knot of steel bars. After being quiet for a while, the third uncle said to me again: "Actually, I have told you many times that the water in this matter is too deep, and there are too many secrets involved. I don't even know what is going on. It happened once, so, your third uncle, I can actually understand your feelings quite well."

I thought to myself that you understand shit, no matter how little you know, you must know more than me. The two of us are in completely different positions in this matter. You are at the center of the matter, and I No matter what I said now, I was just watching from the outside, and I couldn't even find the door to go in. But it’s useless to say more, even so, I’ve reached this point, I looked at the dark underground pool outside, I don’t want to think about these things anymore, anyway, I’m already following him, unless he kills me Otherwise, I must follow him to the end. After taking a few sips of chili tea to dehumidify, my sprain started to flare up. While rubbing it, I changed the subject and said, "By the way, third uncle, what is the videotape that Aunt Wen Jin sent you?"

The third uncle stood up, let me get out of the way, and took out his laptop from his luggage. "I can't describe it, you can see for yourself." I naturally wanted to read it, but I didn't expect Third Uncle to be so active. He put the laptop on his backpack and opened it.It turned out that he transferred the contents of the video tape to the disk. "I asked a guy to convert the videotape into a file. It cost 300 yuan. I watched it many times myself, but I can't see anything at all. Don't hold out too much hope." As he said, he clicked on the file . "It's almost out of power, just wait and see."

The player jumped out of the screen. I looked around and suddenly felt that the situation was a bit strange. What kind of place is this? The third uncle obviously didn't want to read it any more, so he walked away after giving me the computer. Someone seemed to have found something and asked him to take a look.The black glasses came over and sat behind me, as if preparing to watch a movie. This man made me very uncomfortable, I glanced at him, he didn't care at all, I looked at him and he looked at me. I had no choice but to sigh to myself who is this, so I changed into a comfortable position, clicked play, and began to look at the screen carefully.

After playing, it was dark at first, and then a very noisy sound came from the speaker, which was very familiar but couldn't feel what it was. After listening for a while, I realized that it was the sound of water. The screen is black, and we cannot see even a slight change in light and shadow, but the sound of water in the speaker tells us that the content inside is being played, mixed with a few muffled thunder from afar. It is conceivable that this video tape is being shot. Sometimes, it should be next to the rushing water, or there is a small-scale waterfall nearby. It may be that the lens cover is not opened, or the awning is covered, and nothing is captured on the screen.

The sound of water has been going on, far and near, it should be that the camera is in motion. About five minutes into the playback, I heard sounds other than the sound of water. It was the sound of a few people panting and the footsteps of their feet stepping on the stone pile. The footsteps were very messy and very slow. It was a few people stumbling around, but these sounds only appeared for a while and then disappeared, followed by the sound of water. I was a little surprised. I received the first tape in Jilin, which showed Huo Ling combing her hair in the basement of that mysterious sanatorium in Golmud.

The second tape was brought by Aning, and it contained a person who looked very similar to me, crawling in the lobby of the nursing home in Golmud. I thought the third tape should at least be about the sanatorium, but now it looks like it was shot outside. I immediately remembered the scene of a rushing stream appearing in the jungle after the heavy rain when we came. Could this be the scene when Wenjin's team entered the canyon?This is important information. Continue to listen, and then there is still the sound of water, suddenly far and near, it seems that the camera has started to move again.

The two tapes I watched before were like this, very boring, so I knew it well and was not in a hurry. What surprised me was that the black glasses on one side also watched it with gusto. After listening patiently for about 20 minutes, the sound of water gradually calmed down, from the noisy and majestic to the sound of water heard far away in the house, and the sound of several people panting at the same time It reappeared again, this time it was much clearer, and there was a buzzing sound. It felt like several people had found a place away from the water, and this place was still a relatively closed space.

Then, we heard the first human voice in the entire videotape. It was a woman's voice. She seemed exhausted and gasped: "Where is this place? Have we gone out yet?" No one answered her, there was panting and the sound of things being placed in places all around, and the screen was always black, which made her a little depressed, but she couldn't fast-forward when listening to the sound, so she could only endure and concentrate. For a long time after the woman spoke, there were equipments on the ground, coughing, and sighing sounds. After a long time, another man spoke, and instead of answering him, he asked another person: "Is there any more smoke?" The sound is far away, similar to the background sound. If you don't listen carefully, you can't understand it. What impressed me is that this person's voice has a southern Hokkien accent. Also, no one answered him, and we didn't know if he wanted a cigarette, but then we heard a loud sound of metal falling to the ground, and then the man begging for cigarettes cursed: Be careful. After that, there was silence, as if the camera moved outside, or the person holding the camera returned to the vicinity of the rushing water, and the sound of the water became louder again, but within a few minutes, it returned again.The voice begging for cigarettes said, "Where are we going?" No one answered him, everything remained the same, the progress bar jumped back little by little, and the screen was always black. I watched patiently, as time passed by, and slowly, even I felt impatient.Just when I couldn't help it and wanted to pull the progress bar back a little, the black eyes on one side held my hand down. I was wondering what he was doing, and suddenly a relatively coherent voice came out from the loudspeaker. It was the words of a man with a strong northwest accent. He seemed to be taken aback, and shouted: Listen, there is a voice, Those things are at it again! Then there was a commotion, and then the man with the southern Hokkien accent shouted in a low voice: Don't make any noise! These people seem to be well-trained. As soon as the accent fell, the entire speaker suddenly became silent, and everyone's voice disappeared in the background water sound. After the silence, I heard that there was something strange in the water sound. The sound of the water is just mixed with the sound of water, and it is not clear at all. My nerves tensed all of a sudden, and I hurried to the side of the speaker, thinking that I must have heard that strange voice somewhere before. Sure enough, the sound came from far to near, and I felt more and more familiar. As I listened to it, my body trembled involuntarily.A tingle of creeping hair straight out of my pores. I remembered what that sound was. This was the horn sounding in the depths of the underground canyon before Poker Bottle entered the huge bronze gate.
