World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 251 - 135: Projection
Chapter 251: Chapter 135: Projection
The shadow incident had fermented to a certain extent online, and just a day later, the video had already received hundreds of thousands of likes.
However, so far, the matter had spread only through the Kuaishou video app and had not caught the attention of some media outlets.
The next night, Ren Huixi came in front of the surrounding wall again. After the video finally went viral and she tasted some success, she decided to shoot a few more times while riding the wave of popularity, hoping to attract a significant number of followers.
It must be said, Ren Huixi’s attempt was successful.
When she uploaded the new video, her visibility increased noticeably, and the likes soon surpassed those of the day before.
In the Kuaishou videos, a piece titled "The Black Shadow on the Wall, Follow-up" quickly became popular.
In the video, four figures on the wall were either running, crawling, or shrieking; everything looked so terrifying and eerie.
Compared to yesterday, today’s video seemed even clearer.
Or rather, the shadows on the wall had become more solid.
This was immediately noticed by many viewers of the video.
"Guys, I think something is off here, have you noticed? The shadows look darker than yesterday, I can even see some detailed patterns inside them!"
"Yes, I noticed too. God knows why I can see so much detail in a shadow, but I have a feeling, these shadows are slowly becoming real!"
"Terrifying to think about! I wonder if the host has noticed this, I hope she stops going there, I’m really scared these shadows might crawl out of the wall..."
"..."
Regarding these comments, Ren Huixi read each one from start to finish.
Experiencing such popularity for the first time, she read every single comment under the video very carefully.
Concerning the comments about the shadows becoming clearer, she was actually a bit spooked herself.
However, since she had finally gained some popularity, the thought of giving up on filming further made her reluctant.
"These must all be illusions, right? Maybe I didn’t shoot well at the beginning? How could such things really exist in the world..."
Ren Huixi comforted herself many times in her mind before she somewhat uneasily went out again.
She was supposed to rest today, but for her big break and her future, she decided to go there one more time to film that eerie wall.
Tonight, Ren Huixi planned to go earlier than usual, after seeing those comments online speculating that the shadows might become real, she was a bit scared to go alone in the deep night to film the video.
What she didn’t know was that just after she left, the two videos she uploaded to Kuaishou were deleted.
In Qionghua City, at the Abnormality Department.
Qi Tian was quickly operating the computer in front of him, next to him, was the slightly burly figure of Hu Hu.
"Boss, I’ve already had someone delete those two videos, but given the amount of time they’ve been accumulating views, quite a few people must have seen them, which might cause some impact," Hu Hu said, touching his stubbly chin.
"I know. Fortunately, these two videos didn’t reveal too much, just some shadows, so it probably won’t be too troublesome..." He paused to look at the video images before continuing, "Qi Tian, what do you think? How likely is it that these things are abnormal? And those shadows, why do they look so familiar to me?"
Qi Tian paused the video at a particularly clear part and pointed with his finger at a slender figure captured there, then said:
"The likelihood of these shadows being abnormal is over eighty percent. Look at the footage in these videos, their clarity has indeed significantly improved. If I’m not mistaken, it won’t be long before they turn into real monsters..."
As he spoke, he frowned deeply in thought, then continued, "As for their appearance, I too find it very familiar. We must have seen them somewhere before... Ah, right! I remember now! These guys look just like No. 3!"
"No. 3? You mean the one contained in the Third Research Institute?"
"Exactly! Boss, look at its form and appearance, it’s just like No. 3! Plus, their pattern of moving in groups matches Mr. Wen’s theory about No. 3! I’m seventy percent sure that these guys are definitely monsters like No. 3!"
"No. 3, huh? That thing is not easy to handle..."
Hu Hu murmured softly, his expression becoming more solemn.
He scrutinized the environment in the video again and then said:
"We must act quickly... Qi Tian, go and push the intelligence group to identify the location in the video as soon as possible. Try to contact the uploader again; if one phone number doesn’t work, switch to another until you get through. I’ll direct the action team to go to her home address right away and try to determine the exact site of the incident as soon as possible."
With Hu Hu’s series of commands issued, the Abnormality Department was once again bustling with activity.
Meanwhile, Ren Huixi was starting to feel harassed.
Since today, her phone had been ringing non-stop with calls from various unknown numbers. Initially, she answered a few and discovered they were fans from her Kuaishou videos, apparently because she had disclosed her contact information in her profile.
Initially, Ren Huixi found the greetings from her fans quite novel and exciting, but as more and more calls came in, she became weary and exhausted, especially because many included inexplicable insults.
Thus, to ensure her next filming session could proceed smoothly, Ren Huixi simply put her phone on airplane mode and stopped paying any attention to the incoming calls.
...
The current time was 8:30 PM, prime time of the day.
In the city center, many people were relaxing after dinner, enjoying a break from the fatigue of the day. Many couples also strolled hand in hand, relishing their beautiful moments together.
When Ren Huixi arrived at the open parking lot, she was surprised to find it surrounded by quite a crowd; it was precisely the place she had planned to film.
Feeling as if her little secret had been discovered, Ren Huixi felt somewhat displeased, but still curiously made her way to the edge of the crowd, and cast her gaze towards the white wall.
This look immediately turned her face pale, even the slight dissatisfaction she had felt earlier completely dissipated.
