That was the end of the conversation about the mutation.

Both of them knew that things were by no means as simple as they seemed, but unfortunately, at the moment, they did not have the means to dig out the true 0 phase. They had to wait patiently and see what would happen next.

Or, nothing will happen, who knows?

In short, there is no point in continuing to discuss this issue, and instead of asking for trouble, it is better to talk about something more interesting.

Thinking so, Lianzi took out her phone from her pocket.

"Melly, look at this!"

She clicked on one of the pictures in the album, handed the phone to Melly, and said.

Melly took the phone and looked at it, and found that a rather blurry night snapshot was displayed on the screen, the aperture and shutter were not adjusted properly, and the shaky sense of the picture was also very strong, which should have been taken in a very hasty situation.

The background of that photograph is a dark shadow of a tree, which looks like it was taken in the woods at night. In the middle of the large mass of tree shadows was a dark black, furry humanoid silhouette.

It is said to be "humanoid" because it stands upright on both feet like a human. But compared to real humans, it is too huge, too hideous. Its head was almost reaching the treetops, and it was two or three meters tall, and its stiff bristles were like needles, and even the thick night could not hide it. The muscular bloated body and overdeveloped limbs, the strange twists of the joints, and the long, pointed claws all put together to make it look like a freak from a bloody cult movie in the '80s.

Unfortunately, the photograph is still too dark and blurry for the viewer to get a glimpse of it, but not the whole picture. That's why it's so real, so mysterious, so fascinating...... It's like other supernatural pictures that are advertised as "real shots".

"It's ......"

Savages, Snow Monsters, Bigfoot, Wendigo, Ogre, Giants, Aliens, Jason Heworth?

For a moment, a long list of names popped up in Melly's mind, each one alike, and each one not so similar. She must have missed something, something that fits perfectly with the ghost in this picture, and she can't remember in time.

Melly kept staring down at the phone screen until Lianzi, who was sitting across from her, spoke, and she raised her head and looked over with a puzzled look.

"This happened when you were unconscious, a pretty famous paranormal event! Renko said, "The plush monster in this photo is called 'Wakayama Savage', have you heard of it?"

"No," Melly shook her head, "can you tell me?"

"At first, it was just a very inconspicuous live post on the 2ch forum, about a dead house visiting the primeval forest of Wakayama Prefecture with a mobile phone at night, and spending the night in the forest to test his courage. When the guy entered the mountain, he only brought a mobile phone, and a power bank, walked all the way, shot all the way, and posted live on the forum by the way...... No, look!"

As she spoke, Lianzi took her mobile phone, found a URL from the browser's favorites, and clicked on it to see that it was the original post of the live broadcast post she was talking about. Melly took her phone from her and looked at it, only to see that the title of the post was a line in bold letters:

"[Live broadcast] I've been squatting at home for ten years, and I'm going to spend the night in the forest today"

Further down, there are strings of night road shots, as well as replies to netizens' posts. Those replies are probably some "quick changes", "a little respectful of the landlord www", "woo,it's so dark" and the like, no nutritious content. Anyway, this post was originally quite watery, if it weren't for what happened later......

"The guy wasn't very familiar with the forest either, and he got lost as he got deeper and deeper. Lianzi continued, "Fortunately, I still have a mobile phone in my hand, so I can keep in touch with netizens, chat happily from time to time, relieve stress, and not fall into panic." Thus he emboldened himself, and without calling for help or trying to return the way he came, he continued on his way to the interior of the forest, where no one could reach. ”

Melly listened to her narration as she moved her fingers, flipping through page after page of the poster. At first, the pictures posted by the poster owner showed dirt roads, old wires, and rusty "no entry" signs, but at the end, the scenery really returned to the primitive, and there was not even a trace of human activity left.

When ordinary people arrive here, they will retreat and try to return, but this dead house is also as bold as a fight, and they still have to continue to go inside, so there is the following series of conversations:

"Woo, it's so dark here, if you don't turn on the flash, you can't even see the road under your feet...... Anyway, there's no way out for a long time, right?" (landlord)

"I seem to have stepped on something soft and sticky, so I don't think I'll ......" (landlord)

"It's bear www" (netizen)

"Congratulations to the landlord, there is a w for dinner" (netizen)

"I can't see, I can't see, I can't see anything, so I don't know what I'm stepping on!" (landlord)

"Anyway, the branches here are so dense...... It's not like you can't get through it at all!" (landlord)

"There was a big hole between the tangled branches, and I tried to drill it, and I actually got through, thanks to the ribs I hadn't exercised in ten years. (Landlord)

"I said you......" (netizen)

"I seem to hear strange barking, a bit like a large dog, but thicker than that...... It seems to be right ahead, do you want to go and see it?" (landlord)

"Go see, go see!" (netizen)

"Go and see, and then take a picture and send it up!" (netizen)

"This picture...... It feels like something will pop out, it's a little scary......" (netizen)

"To be honest, I don't want to go, if there is a bear, I feel like I will be killed......" (landlord)

"Don't be afraid, bear or something, very weak www" (netizen)

"Don't be cowardly, go up to the landlord, I support you!" (netizen)

"Then, I'm on!" (landlord)

"Come on w" (netizen)

"I look at J" (landlord)

"Eh?" (netizen)

"What the hell?" (netizen)

"The landlord didn't reply to the post for two hours, it should be cold" (netizen)

"My home is in Wakayama, do you have any friends in the same city, and you will team up to find them in the mountains after dawn?" (netizen)

"There is one of me!" (netizen)

"Remember to broadcast live when you go to find it!" (netizen)

That "I see J" is the last sentence sent by the landlord, Melly thought to herself, that should mean "I saw", as for what this guy saw before he lost contact, I'm afraid only he knows.

After that, he lost all contact with the outside world. Lianzi continued, "The next day, a volunteer search and rescue team composed of netizens entered the mountain and came to the place where the live broadcast post was last recorded. They did find broken branches there, as well as the feces of some kind of creature, just as the landlord had described. ”

They searched around the area for a whole day, and finally found only a mud-stained mobile phone, which was the one that the owner of the live broadcast had when he went up the mountain. Inside the phone, they found the picture. ”

As she spoke, Renko retrieved her phone from Melly, pulled up the photo of "Wakayama Savage", and placed it in the center of the table.

"This photo was taken at 2:31:12 a.m.," Hasuko said, "and the 'I look at J' was posted at 2:31:7 a.m., five seconds before the picture was taken." ”

"Something must have flashed in front of him, so he didn't have a chance to finish the post, so he hurriedly turned on the camera and took this last picture, as for the specific reason for his disappearance......"

Speaking of this, Lianzi stopped talking, she raised her eyes to look at Melly, but saw that the other party was staring down at the picture on the phone screen with a solemn face.

"Lotus Seed ......"

After a moment, Melly raised her head and said:

"Have you decided on the location of the next event of the 'Secret Seal Club'?"

"Not at all. Renzi shrugged.

"Then let's settle on Wakayama, how about it?"

"Both hands in favor. ”
