Chapter Eighty-Six: Old Film
I walked up to the monks and asked, "Did you catch that guy?" ”
The monk shook his head and did not speak. A few of us just stood aside and watched the big white girl bow her head and tinker with the projector by herself. After about an hour, the big white girl finally let out a sigh and turned on the projector. At the beginning, the brightness of the projector changed a lot, but after the big white girl adjusted the thing with a lot of coils she made, the brightness of the projector slowly became normal.
This projector is a very old-fashioned film projector, and there is a very small stack of film on it, and Qian Ning pulls out one and puts it on it, and an image appears on the wall.
This film is actually the oldest black-and-white film, and the picture quality is blurry like a ball of snowflakes, and we find something to seal the window, and then adjust the distance to barely see the image projected by the projector.
The first film is a concrete tunnel in the background, on which several men in military uniforms can be seen walking in the direction of the camera, and the closest one in the frame is the side face of a man wearing a large mask that almost encloses his entire face, revealing only a pair of eyes.
The man was tall, more than a head taller than the other soldiers. The other two soldiers in the picture are both backs, and they can only be seen carrying a very strange device on their bodies. It was two identical metal shelves with tiny tentacles sticking out of them, and they looked like a giant mace.
What the hell is this thing for? Could it be that the signal here is so poor that so many antennas are created to increase the signal strength? But it's too much of an exaggeration to make it look like a hedgehog.
Qian Ning then put it down, and the second picture was a little distorted, and the whole thing was blurred, so Qian Ning directly changed to the third one.
This is a close-up of a few soldiers chatting and farting, due to the limited camera technology at that time, and there was no one person to highlight at all, so I couldn't see the appearance of these soldiers at all. But there was one person I could recognize, and it was the guy who was wearing a mask before. I could tell that this guy should not be of low status, because all the soldiers were around him and listened to him alone. It's a pity that he was still wearing a mask when he spoke, so I couldn't see his appearance.
Channing changed a few more photos one after another, all of which were close-ups of those soldiers. It is impossible to tell what they are going to do from the close-ups of these people, but judging from their fully armed posture, it will definitely not be as simple as helping the villagers harvest wheat.
Qian Ning changed about a dozen films, and the image on them finally changed. The contents of this film looked so strange that I couldn't understand what was going on on it for a while. There are two people on this film, half a man and a pair of hands, to be exact.
The hands were on the far right side of the film. There is nothing special about these hands, the chapped skin and sporadic injuries are a pair of very ordinary soldiers' hands. He held a lit kerosene lamp in his right hand, and his left hand pulled the hands of another man. The man on the film is diagonal, but I don't know if it's due to the angle of the shot or if he's standing diagonally.
It was as if he was being pulled out by something, and the hands on his right were pulling him back hard. The entire film is dark in the upper left corner, so the person who is being pulled can only see the chest, and the rest of the film is black.
The strange thing about this film is the black part, although all the light stimulation of all the film is not particularly good, and there are often a lot of black spots and blurs on the film, but the upper left part of this film is almost certain that it is not a paste caused by exposure failure.
Because the black in that area is so uniform, and there is not a single white spot in the black area. This is almost nothing that has ever appeared in the film we have just seen. It's as if there's not even a little bit of light reflected back through the lens in that area, how is that possible?
Qian Ning stopped when she put this picture, thinking that she should also see the difference in this film. I said everything I thought, and the monk remained silent and didn't say anything, but the giant spirit god spoke first.
The Djinn God pouted and said, "Could this thing have been made like this on purpose?" I once saw a little guy deliberately splash ink on a painting of Zheng Banqiao that did not look like it in order to fake, and finally cheated more than 400 yuan. ”
Listening to the monk's words, the big white girl retorted: "It's impossible, if you want to deliberately expose a piece of film like this, even the current technology requires very complicated operations, let alone that era." Don't forget, at that time, the imaging technology couldn't even capture the color, how could it be possible to make such a complex thing? ”
Since the big white girl directly denied the statement of the giant spirit god, and we don't understand this technology at all, naturally no one argues with her. Nangong frowned as if he had thought of something, but he opened his mouth but did not speak. I don't know what she's taboo about, but I'm not going to force her.
Qian Ning said softly: "Could it be that there was originally a black hole there, so it didn't shine out?" ”
I shook my head, she didn't hold it at all. Not to mention that there is a kerosene lamp on both hands in the photo, even if there is none, judging from the exposure of these two people, the scene at that time will definitely be enough to illuminate.
Even if there is a hole in the upper left that the light can't get into, there should always be an outline under the light, but the black on the film spreads like a substance, and there is no obvious margin at all. At this time, all of us looked at the monk and waited for him to say something.
Seeing this, the monk said to us, "You may be thinking about things too complicated, maybe things are simply simple. ”
None of us understood the meaning of the monk's words, and in the end, I carried forward the shameless and fearless spirit of asking questions if I didn't understand, and asked directly: "Monk, what do you mean by this?" ”
The monk smiled at me, and the guy laughed like a child, and his eyes became crooked like two crescent moons. He organized the language for a moment, and then said to us, "You think that the black part may have been touched by someone, or in a place where the light does not shine, both of which are possible. But you may have overlooked a simpler and more immediate possibility, because black is also a color that can also be exposed. ”
After listening to the monk's words, I thought for a while before I understood what he meant. Could it be that the black part of this photograph is not a shadow but a real thing? Seeing that the person above was wrapped in darkness, could it be that he was swallowed alive by some black monster?
If that's the case, how big should this black guy really be? Its mouth is not fully represented on this film, and based on the average head-to-body ratio, this guy must be at least a lot larger than the average person. Could it be those pythons at the bottom of the cliffs?
But I didn't see a white human face pattern on the snake's head on the film, and if it were those guys, how did they get into such a narrow place?
