Chapter 69: Your lips are turning purple, it's possible...
"The clown Bubba is a lost media that I found a few years ago. It is also an urban legend that is widely circulated on the Internet. In addition to Hanjiang City, several nearby cities have also heard of this legend."
"Before actually seeing this film, even I thought that Bob the Clown was just a folk tale, like the bear grandmother who scares children in the countryside, a product of some kind of collective memory."
"Unlike other lost media, there are several Bob the Clown movies, with similar content. They are basically about the red-nosed clown doing all sorts of inhumane things in front of the camera, such as killing, dismembering, and mutilating people. While doing these things, he also carefully explains the key points of killing, such as the details to pay attention to when disposing of or burying a body, how to destroy evidence, and how to avoid police searches."
Yue Pan said.
"If that's the case, why did you film this?" Chen Ge asked, puzzled.
Since this thing is like a children's cult, why not just ignore it and let Bob the Clown become a truly lost medium? Wouldn't that solve everything?
Yue Pan stared into Chen Ge's eyes for a while.
Finally, he slowly uttered a sentence.
"Every year, idiots can't resist their curiosity and search for lost media, resulting in countless disappearances and deaths. Several years ago, the number of missing persons had already exceeded one hundred, and now who knows what the scale of the victims is?"
"But... as long as we make a 'Baboon the Clown' movie ourselves and put it on the screen, those idiots will at most criticize my film for being boring, but they won't search for the real 'Baboon the Clown,' and it won't be lost to the world because of lost media."
Chen Ge was filled with awe.
Yue Pan actually wanted to replicate something from a lost media outlet.
They played a trick of substituting one child for another.
As long as something fake becomes real.
The audience will get bored.
Naturally, they wouldn't pay attention to films that are actually harmful.
"Um……"
"Is it possible that your behavior crossed the line for the ghost story research company, which is why they have been threatening you for decades?" Zhang Ze asked.
He thought of a movie called Pacific Rim.
Later, a pirate company made a movie called "Atlantic Rim".
Viewers who watched Atlantic Rim have eaten shit and therefore hate Pacific Rim. Wouldn't the producers of the original work be furious? By the same token, it's understandable that the ghost story research company harassed Yue Pan.
Yue Pan took a sip of tea. "Perhaps. I was really surprised when I saw you live-streaming the search for the lost media number 021. It was the first time I realized that there was another person in the world who dared to openly provoke the Strange Tales Research Company like I do."
"That's why I had the idea to contact you."
"You've been elusive for a while now, but you've finally come to my territory. Thank you very much."
We continued our discussion on topics related to lost media.
Zhang Ze and Yue Pan did most of the conversation, while Chen Ge, like a child, didn't interrupt and was mentally catching up on his knowledge of lost media.
The more I listened, the more something felt off.
According to the definition of lost media, wouldn't the two songs the black phone gave him be a perfect fit?
Black Friday
Wedding Dress
as well as……
The first side quest.
The Thirteenth Pair of Eyes
The mission description was, "Please listen to where I am." Chen Ge had heard of this song before; "The Thirteenth Pair of Eyes" was a killer song on par with "Friday the 13th."
Historically, it has caused a sensation by leading to the suicide of an audience member.
It was 9 p.m.
Yue Pan's phone suddenly rang.
Opening his email, he found that an account named "Strange Tales Research Company" had sent Yue Pan a new video.
The video shows the location as a street in the western suburbs of Hanjiang City.
The banner reads.
"The 52nd Hanjiang City Marathon: Push your limits, be yourself!"
A group of people ran to the finish line, panting heavily. One of them could see Yue Pan's figure. After Yue Pan reached the finish line, he suddenly clutched his heart, knelt on the ground, and fainted.
That's the end of the video.
"This time the cause of death was sudden death, from running?" Chen Ge was stunned. "Who wears such a flashy outfit for a marathon? Is it a train engine?"
"The lost media didn't record past deaths, but rather predicted future ones. What would happen if we intervened in time?"
Zhang Ze countered with a question.
Neither Yue Pan nor Chen Ge knew.
Since the incident at Xicheng Police Station, Zhang Ze has realized a characteristic of lost media.
The death scene was filmed in advance.
If you believe it, a false death will become a real death.
"Are you serious?"
"The video evidence is irrefutable; how can we intervene?"
Yue Pan and Chen Ge pressed for answers.
Zhang Ze did not explain.
They ran out of the film studio with Chen Ge, and as soon as they got outside, it was getting dark. They immediately turned into countless crows and flew to the street in the video.
A crow's vision is as clear as a mirror in the darkness.
Zhang Ze quickly located the street that matched the video feed.
The banner reads.
"The 52nd Hanjiang City Marathon: Push your limits, be yourself!"
The sudden appearance of the crows did not cause much of a commotion. The marathon runners who had reached this point had all exhausted their strength and were adjusting their breathing rhythm, ready to stop at any moment.
Various electrolyte drinks and food for those who have finished exercising were laid out on tables along the street.
Zhang Ze scanned the numerous members.
However, Yue Pan was not found.
"Yue Pan isn't here. Could it be that Yue Pan hasn't run here yet?"
"No, I can't fall into a misconception. There can't be two Yue Pans in the world. Even Chen Ge's shadow doesn't look exactly like him. The Strange Tales Research Company must have done something to make the real dead look exactly like Yue Pan."
If it weren't for the sheer number of crows...
Crows have an extremely wide field of vision.
Zhang Ze really couldn't monitor everyone the whole time.
With his attention highly focused, Zhang Ze finally identified a member who seemed a bit off.
This person was wearing a sports short-sleeved shirt and a headscarf. He looked pale and had deep-set eyes. He looked like a hard-working laborer who had been working overtime all night. I don't know why he participated in this marathon.
A ghost eye grew out of the center of the crow's forehead.
In the Ghost Eye's vision, as this person ran, a distorted monster was stuck to his back.
The runner looked remarkably like a human, except that when he ran, he resembled an ape with unusually slender arms that followed closely behind the man.
The man did not see the monster.
Not only did the man not see it, but neither did anyone else around him.
"Brother, you should stop and rest for a bit. Your lips are turning purple; it might be a heart problem." Someone next to him finally noticed that something was wrong with the guy, slowed down, and kindly reminded him.
"You can't outrun me, you believe it or not?" The man scoffed, dismissing him with disdain.
Upon seeing this, the kind-hearted man abandoned his desire to help and ran away, leaving the man behind.
The man continued forward, but each step felt like a thousand pounds. His legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and his heart was pounding abnormally. The world before him became increasingly unreal, as if shrouded in a fog, and he could hardly make out the faces of the other people.
The monster was pressed tightly against his back.
He was completely unaware.
Finally, he crossed the finish line.
This is also the place where Yue Pan died suddenly in the video.
