474 - Eye
"Remember, don't blink!"
"Die in the blink of an eye!"
"Don't look away!"
"Keep an eye on it, don't distract you!"
"Don't blink! Don't blink......"
"Good luck guys......"
……
In the mayor's office at City Hall, Paroxen watched the hacker's "Response Guide," which had been sent to many classified departments in North America, and the video made it clear about the statue's image, nature, and killing patterns.
"Statues that break people's necks? It's been a strange ...... these days."
Parosson casually turned off the video, a little unimpressed, he looked at the staff on the side and asked, "Have the police cordoned off the Hycock warehouse area?" ”
"It's blocked."
The staff member next to him immediately replied, "Mr. Mayor, our people have entered the warehouse area and strictly followed the rules in this video to find those potential murder statues, but according to the speculation of the black light technology, there may be a total of four statues in the Hycock District. ”
"It's ridiculous......"
Parosson shook his head speechlessly, if it wasn't for the overnight message from the White House, he wouldn't have followed the hacker's advice.
When did the great North American government have to listen to a foreign company?
But just when Parosson was dismissive, there was a sudden knock on the door of his office.
"Come in."
Paroxin turned his head to look at the door, only to see a man pushing the door open with a hard drive, "Mr. Mayor, according to your orders, we have ordered someone to check the surveillance of the Helark warehouse area, and have successfully found the kind of statue you described, which is currently inside the hard drive. ”
"Why is it so slow?"
Paroxen frowned, a little dissatisfied.
"I'm sorry Mr. Mayor, the surveillance in the Hycock warehouse area is not connected to the network, so we must go to the Hycock warehouse area to retrieve all the surveillance first, and then we can check the murderer of this crime, but the murderer has not been found, but I have received an order from you to find the statue again......"
The man said helplessly.
"Okay, but next time it's a little quicker."
Parosen sat up, took the hard drive with interest, and plugged it into his computer.
However, before opening the video, Parosson seemed to think of something, he raised his head again and looked at the staff next to him, "You go out first, close the door for me." ”
"Yes."
The staff nodded and walked out of the mayor's office with the man.
It wasn't until he pulled the office door with his backhand that the staff greeted the man in front of him, "Mr. Robin, have you been busy with the technical department lately?" ”
"It's okay, it's a lot stronger than before."
The man replied a little helplessly, "But it looks like I'm busy tonight." ”
"Hahaha, there's no way around it."
The staff patted the man's shoulder, and then said with some curiosity, "Where did you buy this contact lens?" ”
"Contact lenses? I don't wear contact lenses......"
The man was a little stunned, he rubbed his eyes, "It's just that I kept checking the surveillance just now, and my eyes are a little dry, maybe they look red, right?" ”
The staff didn't pay attention to the other party's words, just shrugged their shoulders, and then the two separated completely when they turned.
At this time, in the mayor's office, Parosson moved the mouse to the computer after asking his staff to leave.
But just when he wanted to click on the video, he suddenly thought of the hacker who came and went without a trace before, so he simply unplugged the network cable.
In this way, there is no fear of hackers hacking and snatching their own videos, and even if this farce ends, they can only end it themselves.
The Hycock warehouse area is very old and most of the area is unmonitored, both inside and outside the warehouses.
There are some monitors installed on the road in the warehouse area more than ten years ago, but these monitors have long been broken and malfunctioned after years of wind and rain, and few of them can still operate.
Fortunately, although most of the monitoring has been damaged, under the investigation of the technical department, a few intact ones have been found, which can be said to be a blessing in misfortune.
Thinking of this, Paroxen double-clicked on the video on the hard drive.
This video is obviously a picture taken by a surveillance under the street lamp of the road, it seems that it is because of the dark night, and the street light has long been out of order, so the whole video presents a black and white picture, not color, and the two sides of the surveillance are black holes and warehouses, and the scene is very monotonous.
However, it is obvious that this video has been intercepted by the technical department, Parosson looked at the progress bar, the video shows a short time, maybe the original surveillance screen is very long, but now it is only reduced to a length of fifty-nine seconds, obviously this nearly one-minute video is the only clue to the murder in the Hycock warehouse area.
Thinking of this, Paroxen calmed down and continued to read.
One second, two seconds, three seconds......
Time passed second by second, but when thirty seconds passed, the video was still empty, this scene suddenly made Parosson frown, and he subconsciously wanted to move the progress bar and pull it back directly.
But after thinking about it, there was only half a minute left, so he still put his mind to it and continued to watch.
Until the thirty-first second, finally, the picture in the surveillance changed, only to see a panicked middle-aged man running from the upper left of the camera on the computer screen, running towards the lower right, while running and looking behind him, but because the angle of the monitoring is insufficient, I can't see what is behind the man.
Despite the poor pixels and the blurriness of the night, Paroxen recognized the middle-aged man as one of the eight deceased who died for the second time.
At this point, the video finally piqued Parosen's interest, and he couldn't help but put his head on and wait for the thing chasing the middle-aged man to appear.
The figure of the middle-aged man only appeared in the video for three seconds before running out of the surveillance range, but the pursuers behind him were silent for half a day, and Paroxen looked at the time impatiently again, only to see that the progress bar had reached the fifty-fifth second.
Just when Parosson wondered if it could be a mistake in the video interception by the technical department, suddenly, the video screen suddenly distorted, as if it was interfered by some kind of signal, and the whole picture became blurry, but the progress bar was still moving forward, until a second later, the picture suddenly cleared again, and a statue had appeared on the surveillance at some point.
It's out!
Seeing this statue, Parosen was in good spirits, but before he could take a closer look at the details of the statue, the picture suddenly distorted again, and when it regained clarity after a second, the statue disappeared again!
Immediately, the progress bar crossed the last second, and it was completely over.
Watching the video end, Parosen still didn't come back to his senses, he frowned, showing a pensive look.
"This statue is the statue that the hackers said before that can kill people? If you just stare at each other, they will turn into stone, and if you don't stare at them, they will move? ”
Paroxen muttered in a low voice, "But why can't even the surveillance record its activities?" ”
Thinking of this, Parosson dragged the progress bar again to the fifty-fifth second of the video, and watched the last four seconds of the video several times in a row.
It's just that no matter how you look at it, the statue always disappears before he can look closely, after all, from the fifty-sixth second, the picture begins to distort, the seventeenth second the statue appears, and the fifty-eighth second the picture distorts again, and the statue in the video only exists for a second.
"If you follow the guide sent by the hacker, that is, the middle-aged man who ran away looked back in this second, just enough for the surveillance to record the footage of the statue being frozen, and then a second later, the middle-aged man turned back again, and the statue disappeared again......"
After a brief analysis of all this, Parosson simply found the right time for the fifth viewing, and quickly pressed the pause button at the same time as the progress bar reached the fifty-seventh second!
This time, Parosson finally got his wish and saw the statue in the surveillance.
Although the statue in the video is a little blurry due to equipment problems, he can still see that the statue in the video has a pair of half-open wings behind it, which is no different from the angel statues in the church.
At this time, the statue is facing the lower right of the video, which is the direction in which the middle-aged man left before.
Seeing this, although Parosson was still a little reluctant, he gradually believed that what the hacker said might be true, not a conspiracy against North America......
Thinking of this, Paroson couldn't help but be a little irritated, he took out a cigarette, and at the same time took the lighter on the table and lowered his head and lit it gently.
After igniting it, Paroxen took a deep breath and inhaled all the smoke into his lungs before looking up at the video again.
But when he looked at the video again, he was suddenly stunned.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but on the freeze-frame video screen at this time, the statue seems to be at a slightly different angle from before.
Illusion?
Parosen raised an eyebrow and looked intently, only to see that the statue in the picture seemed to turn its head and look this way with its whole face.
For a moment, Parosson was a little puzzled, he wasn't sure if this angle had existed before, was his memory biased, or was this the second video?
Thinking of this, Parosson lowered his head again and looked at the progress bar, only to see that the video was indeed fifty-nine seconds, and there was no second video on the hard drive from beginning to end.
So, maybe my memory is wrong......
Paroxen raised his head again with some hesitation, but at this moment, his pupils suddenly shrank! Because he found out again that the statue in the video had turned its whole body, and its empty eyes were frozen in front of the screen, as if the statue was looking at Parosson himself through the screen!
Parosen stared at the screen, at this moment, his heart beat violently, the cold sweat on his forehead fell, and an inexplicable chill slowly poured out, at this time he could already determine that all this was not a problem with his memory, but that the statue in the surveillance was really moving!
"But how could this ......?"
Parosen muttered under his breath, all the warnings flashing through his mind at this moment, including the need to keep an eye on the other party, because if he looked away, the statue would rush forward and break the target's neck......
However, he originally thought that this rule only applied to statues, and who would have thought that even the images in the surveillance were no exception?
"Damn, the warning given by Blacklight Technology didn't say that images can trigger this kind of ghostly thing!"
Parosen complained, but after all, he was the mayor of a city, and Parosen reacted quickly while sensing that something was wrong, he directly moved the mouse to the upper right corner of the video, and at the same time quickly clicked the cross!
Suddenly, the video window on the computer flashed, and the option of whether to close appeared, only to see Paroson quickly click the 'yes' button, and then the video window closed directly, revealing the Windows desktop pattern behind the window.
"Whew, it's over?"
Seeing the statue disappear, Paroson was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but the desktop suddenly flashed again, and the video that had just been closed turned on automatically, and it was re-fixed at the second when the angel appeared!
Seeing this scene, Parosson only felt that his soul was flying out of the sky, and he pressed the button to turn off the video again, but this time the surveillance video was not even turned off, but the screen flashed after pressing the close button, and then it was frozen on the spot!
Seeing that there was no response after pressing it more than a dozen times in a row, Paroxen simply bent down and pressed the power switch, but no matter how he pressed it, the computer screen still flickered.
At this time, he realized that at some point, the computer had completely crashed, and even the shutdown button was invalid!
Not only that, as he lowered his head and bent down and then raised his head again, the statue in the surveillance was still approaching, and at this time, the statue's entire face had already come to the computer screen, and it seemed that it could get out of the screen in the next second and completely enter the real world!
At the critical moment, Parosson seemed to have finally thought of something, and he bent down again and unplugged the main engine at the fastest speed in his life!
Syllable!
With a soft sound, the computer finally stopped!
Paroson looked up in shock, relieved to see the computer screen go black, and he stood up tremblingly, looking happy for the rest of his life.
"Almost died, damn it!"
Cursing in a low voice, Paroson wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and was about to call out to the staff outside the door, but suddenly felt that his eyes seemed to be a little strange.
Rubbing his eyes, Paroxen felt a small hard object, he looked down, only to find that the hard object in his hand was a white grain of sand smaller than a sesame seed, and disappeared as he exhaled.
However, at this time, Paroson could no longer think and think, after the strange thing just now, how dare he continue to stay in the office, I saw him shouting the name of the staff and leaving the office as if he were running away......
