Chapter 161. [Case 20] Two videos
President Xu is actually right, as Hu Zongren and I are concerned, we can be regarded as having comprehended the power of those inexplicable ghosts countless times. Changing the lights couldn't be easier. The reason why people experience abnormal sensations such as chills, palpitations, and discomfort when ghosts are approached is that machines are actually the same. I have seen many times that the power of ghosts affects machinery, such as the time we met Zhao Jing before, which affected the printing equipment of that factory. So I said to President Xu, I think you are right, in fact, from that time on, your security master should have noticed that he was a ghost.
Governor Xu nodded, isn't it? Our master thought that it might be rude to call us in the middle of the night, but he was locked up here and couldn't go anywhere, so he must have been afraid, so he didn't sleep all night and sat in the corner and recited the sutra all night. I managed to stay up until dawn, but I waited for us in the hall after the shift, and I didn't tell us about it until we went to work.
Hu Zongren said, then this security master is really very dedicated, and he is a good person! President Xu said, yes, he has been working here for many years, he has always been very serious and responsible, and he is easy-going, and everyone in the industry likes him very much. Hu Zongren asked, is it the security guard who sat at the bottom of the stairs and looked at us mysteriously when we went upstairs just now? President Xu said that it was him, and he should not have been at work today, but when he learned that we had found the two of you, he insisted on changing shifts, saying that if you need to know the specific situation, you can find him at any time.
President Xu continued, but although we can trust the character of this security master, but for the fact that he said, we still think it is too absurd, in order not to affect everyone's work mood, our upstairs management team called the security master up and everyone had a short meeting, on the way we have been enlightening him, saying that I don't know if Lu Dao is he has been under a lot of pressure recently, hallucinating or something. Because although we never figured out the cause of the machine's failure, we really didn't believe that there was a ghost at that time. So we persuaded a lot that day, but the security guard was very stubborn because we couldn't agree with what he said, and insisted that we retrieve the surveillance video of that night.
President Xu said that at that time, someone raised the matter of the current power outage, because the power outage may not have a role in the monitoring probe in the corner of the roof, and the security guard said that the electric doors were still in operation at that time, so the camera should also be working, because after it turned dark at that time, he also saw the red night vision lights around the camera. couldn't resist this security master, and in order to convince him that he was under pressure, President Xu asked someone to retrieve the video records taken by the camera that night. However, the strange thing is that in the video, everyone did not see the thin figure as the security guard said, but did see the electronic door open when no one was there, and then there was a slight interference on the screen. After the security guard approached the isolation door, the interference suddenly became stronger, and then the screen went black. President Xu explained that it is not a black screen like a power outage, because you can still vaguely see the floor tiles on the surface outside the electronic door due to the illumination of the street lights, but the picture has become very distorted, accompanied by very strong interference. Then the screen lit up again, and the moment it lit up, I saw that the electronic door was closing.
I interjected and said, assuming that there is really a ghost, then the picture you see the last time, should be when the ghost just left, I explained, I don't know what the principle of the electronic sensor door is, probably the occlusion or refraction of people or something, but if there is no thing to block, it will not open and close casually in principle, if we think about this problem, we will give priority to believe the words of the security master. President Xu nodded and said that when the video was played in front of everyone, he didn't find anything, but it was just a little weird. But then one of our staff members suggested that if we wanted to confirm it, we would just need to call up the surveillance on the bank's ATM. President Xu added that because it is an electronic system, in order to prevent someone from using electromagnetic interference to affect the machine and steal it, ATMs are actually equipped with anti-jamming equipment. So this proposal was quickly echoed by everyone, and soon called up the surveillance video on the ATM machine that was turned off at that time.
President Xu said that at the same time as the previous video, everyone saw very clearly an old woman wearing a dark blue short-sleeved shirt, with her back bent, looking very thin, even her cheeks were sunken in, and what was puzzling was that this old woman's facial features looked very weird, the upper part of her nose bridge and eyebrows and eyes seemed to be slightly twisted, just like those people seen in the prank camera or the Ha Lu Ha mirror, and the jaw of the mouth seemed to be falling off, and the mouth was slightly open. And it's crooked. From the moment they saw the old lady's appearance, everyone didn't think that she was a living person, and several female employees even exclaimed. After comparing the two videos, we found that at the same time when the surveillance screen was disturbed, although there was some noise in the video screen of the ATM machine, we could see the old woman's face relatively clearly, and we were sure that the distortion of the facial features had nothing to do with this interference, so because of this, we knew that we had hit a ghost in our line.
Hu Zongren thought for a while and didn't speak, and then he asked President Xu, didn't you take out the previous video to watch it? For example, when the first few customers complained, if it was really caused by this ghost, it should also be able to be photographed. President Xu said, Originally, we also knew that Lu Dao must have been filmed, but this matter can't be spread out first, and secondly, everyone doesn't have much courage to see it again, so I will contact you rashly, and I hope that after you come, if you want to see it, you can pick it up.
President Xu told us that this is basically the case, because no one in the bank has dealt with these things, and everyone is more confused and does not know what to do, but the bank, as a service-type window enterprise, can't not not go to work because of this matter, right, so everyone is also under pressure to go to work, but the mood of work has obviously been affected, including me.
President Xu is very frank that it is relatively simple and direct to cooperate with such people. So Hu Zongren turned sideways and asked me, "Where do you think it's better for us to start now?" I thought about it and told him that when we went upstairs just now, we hadn't seen that area yet, and this time was the peak season, so there must be a lot of people, so let's go to the ATM area first. Hu Zongren nodded, and was about to get up, when I asked President Xu again, apart from this incident, you haven't encountered anything strange here in the office hall, right? President Xu said that there is no one yet, but since everyone knows about this matter, I have always felt uncomfortable, and it has some psychological effects. So I said to President Xu, "Well, what time of day do you have fewer people?" President Xu thought for a while and said that there were relatively few people between 12:30 and 1:30 p.m., and if we needed to, she could decide to close several doors of the bank a little during that time, including the ATM area. I asked her if she couldn't even get in with people who wanted to withdraw money from outside. She said yes. I said okay, let's go down and have a look, and if necessary, please close the door at noon.
After saying that, Hu Zongren and I went downstairs, and on the way, we still felt the strange eyes of the upstairs staff and the awe-inspiring feeling of the security master on the ground floor. This place is in the bustling section, there are a lot of pedestrians passing by, so there are a lot of people who come here to handle business, when we go around to the ATM area, we find a total of five machines, except for the inquiry machine in front of no one, the remaining three are lined up quite long, and there is a machine located in the corner, which should be the one that everyone considers "faulty". Since there was no one in front of the machine, Hu Zongren and I walked to the machine, I asked Hu Zongren to block everyone's sight for me, and I turned my back to the people in line, and secretly took out the compass to take a look, there was no doubt that there was a ghost, and since I opened the disk, the pointer pointed straight at the machine, jumping and jumping regularly.
The pointer's reaction told me that this ghost was not a fierce ghost, or even a somewhat confused ghost. But although it is not a ghost on the plate, and only because its reaction is not violent, the fixed beating law means that it has a clear purpose, which is different from obsession, obsession is said to be formed by backlog to a certain extent, but the purpose here is only one direction. For example, a person who dies outside wants to go home, and going home is not an obsession in itself, but only a goal that it has not achieved for the time being. Even so, I'm going to have to be careful, because we've come across too many times before when those seemingly gentle ghosts have caught us off guard with a sudden outburst.
Put away the compass, I walked outdoors with Hu Zongren, the big golden characters at the door and the lions on both sides, to a certain extent, can play a role in deterring ghosts, and the traffic in front of them is very large, in such an environment, there should be no ghosts dare to appear during the day, so I analyzed one of the possibilities, that is, this ghost must not be the first time to come, not only that, but even before it died, maybe it was a customer here.
And all the strange things that have happened these days are just a continuation of the habits of life.
