Chapter 1961: Ghost Skull Mystery 22

Half a minute later.

"Any abnormalities? Did you guys get the system notification?"

"Nothing, what's going on... Could what Shen She said be wrong? His line of thinking isn't wrong; according to the diary, isn't it telling us we shouldn't just look with our eyes?"

"Who knows, maybe we're supposed to look with a dead person's eyes? Just like divination, even if we think it's absurd, it might work here."

In the tense wait, Jin Niu looked around uneasily.

Unlike before, logically they should have triggered something after analyzing the whole diary, but so far, aside from their growing unease, they've seen nothing unusual.

Their feelings were conflicted; they feared something would happen, yet also feared they had analyzed wrong.

"Maybe we really have to gouge out a dead person's eyeball and put it in the socket; otherwise we can't see the hidden information here."

The divination result was extreme misfortune; Shen She said in a pale voice, but as soon as he finished, they heard Ju Mo snicker.

"No, haven't you noticed the most obvious problem?"

"Eyes, eyes, all I think about are eyes. This is a photography studio; even if the guy who wrote the diary took out his girlfriend's eyeball, what about his camera?"

"What's the difference between a photographer without a camera and a cook without a spatula?"

"Let's look; it might not be about swapping eyeballs, maybe..."

"Thud!"

Just as Ju Mo had everyone search the studio again, suddenly a bang, a black bag containing a heavy object fell from the ventilation duct above their heads.

"Gurgle"

The bag rolled straight to Qing Kai's feet; seeing the round, bulging bag at his feet, Qing Kai's expression shifted slightly, and after hesitating a few seconds he reached down and picked it up.

As if it were a hint, everyone's hearts jolted, and they instantly realized Ju Mo had been right!

"What's inside?!"

The atmosphere was tense to the extreme; the round, bulging bag resembled something.

Although everyone present had fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, even a horribly mutilated head wouldn't blink. But in this Special Event, who knows what will happen?

Soon, after Qing Kai carefully opened the bag and saw what was inside, everyone suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"It really is a camera... Looks like the problem is with the photos inside?"

Surrounding Qing Kai, except for Lin An who didn't come over, everyone else gathered to look at the camera screen.

"Beep"

With a slight opening sound, the camera screen lit up, and a bright landscape photo instantly appeared before their eyes.

"Huh? Still a landscape photo? Looks just like the one outside, with nothing special about it."

Holding the camera, Qing Kai said nothing, just quickly flipped through the photos with a furrowed brow.

One photo, two photos, ten photos...

Seeing that they were all the same landscape photo, everyone grew irritable. Soon, after flipping through over a hundred photos that were all landscape shots, even Qing Kai couldn't help but curse quietly.

"Nothing at all? This camera...!?"

"Huh?"

Before Shen She beside them could say anything, the next second a picture with a building instantly caught their attention.

They hurriedly stopped flipping, and everyone stared intently at the first building photo they had seen so far, suddenly stunned.

"This... looks like it was taken from atop a building looking down. Where is this? Wait... the upper-right corner looks like the apartment we came in!"

Hai Yao observed extremely carefully; he and Jin Niu had examined the road conditions while searching beneath the apartment building. Thanks to the bus with only an outline, he instantly realized this photo was taken across from their apartment.

"It's the rooftop, the hospital across from our apartment."

Like Hai Yao, Lin An suddenly spoke up, confirming the shooting location. While observing outside the window, he had noticed that the hospital across from the apartment was on the same level.

According to the photo's angle, it's either the rooftop or the top-floor room.

With Lin An's confirmation, they exchanged glances, each thinking of the same thing.

Click, the photo switched; the second photo was even clearer, showing a road jammed with wrecked cars—just like the road in front of their apartment.

"What does this mean? Is the apartment we entered problematic? Had it been photographed before?"

"It's possible, but I feel..."

Before Jin Niu could blurt out his guess, the third photo suddenly made everyone's hearts jump.

There, on the third photo, was clearly a road.

Although the shot was somewhat blurry, Qing Kai instantly recognized the road as the one they had walked on when they arrived.

"How come all these photos are of places we know!?"

After Qing Kai said that, he felt a sudden chill intensify all over; not daring to delay, he hurriedly flipped back.

The fourth: a main thoroughfare, with a crashed sedan overturned in the middle of the road.

The fifth: a close-up of a construction site; upon seeing it, Shen She instinctively glanced at the steel bar in his hand—the very one he had picked up from there.

The seventh...

The eighth...

Looking at one city photo after another, everyone in the room felt their unease grow stronger.

Apart from Ju Mo having no weapon, everyone instinctively clenched the steel bars and rods they had found, while Shen She even gripped his until his fingertips turned white.

Soon, as the photos reached the thirteenth, a pitch-black office building suddenly inserted itself, causing everyone's expressions to freeze.

Unlike all the previous photos, this office building was shot extremely large, with no surrounding visible.

Shen She instinctively thought to enlarge the photo to see exactly where this suddenly inserted office building was.

But almost as Shen She reached out, Lin An, who had been standing behind everyone, suddenly changed expression and bellowed:

"Run!!"

"That's the building to our right!"

Bang!!

No time to explain another word, Lin An grabbed the ogre's collar without hesitation and turned to rush out, his legs exerted force, the whole person actually, while dragging the ogre, shot out like an arrow from a bow!

Leave the window!!!

Everyone was stunned, and the Divine Archer was so shocked by Lin An's roar that his hand trembled, directly pressing the page-turn.

Whoosh

The camera screen flashed.

In the fourteenth photo, they were seen standing in the room, heads bowed, looking at the camera.

And the shooting angle was right above their heads.

Before everyone could feel as if plunged into an ice cellar, a surge of extreme cold rose in their hearts.

In an instant, a hollow face with eyes like black holes, a ghostly face, was instantly imprinted on the camera screen.

Ghost.

Right above their heads, it had been watching them.
