The place where supernatural objects are stored is deep underground in the headquarters. It is a converted underground base. The narrow and deep passage is depressing and dull. Faint lights flicker on the thick concrete walls, barely illuminating the road ahead.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only the sound of their footsteps echoing around. The air here seemed a bit turbid, making it difficult for people to breathe.
If an ordinary person stayed here for a long time, he would suffocate to death due to lack of oxygen.
As Cao Yanhua walked, he said, "In fact, according to my opinion, some things should be sealed forever and should not appear in this world. The appearance of these things will only bring bigger problems, but the biggest problem now is no longer these, so bringing you here today is to set a precedent."
Yang Jian didn't say anything, but followed behind with a calm expression.
soon.
A number of small rooms appeared next to the passage in front, each of which was numbered 001002 and so on, extending to the bend of the passage in the distance.
"We're here. This is where supernatural items are stored. This is the first room. You can come and take a look. You can ask me or Professor Wang for specific information." Cao Yanhua stopped at the door of the first small room.
The door of the room is made of steel, thick and strong. There is a small window above the door, through which you can see what is going on inside through a piece of light yellow glass.
The room was a small single room, estimated to be only about five square meters in size, with a very ordinary table in the middle.
"Why don't you give me a copy of the file so I can read it faster." Yang Jian said as he walked over.
Cao Yanhua said: "There will be problems with the archives, but there will be no problems with the people. If there is a problem with the people who know the archives, then they must be dead. If that is the case, then these things will be sealed forever."
"Oh, why is it like this?" Yang Jian asked with some confusion.
"If even those who knew the files couldn't survive, it means the situation has completely gotten out of control. In this case, these things must be sealed and must not be leaked out," Cao Yanhua said righteously.
"Deputy Minister, your idea is really strange." Yang Jian smiled, then walked to the gate, placed his hand on the cold steel door, and looked inside through the pale yellow glass.
There was an old camera placed on the table in the small room. It did not look like a modern product and should be several decades old. The paint on the camera had peeled off and it looked dirty and old, like waste picked up from a garbage dump. It was hard to believe that this thing could still work normally.
"What is this thing?" Yang Jian slowly put his hand down.
He found that he could not invade the door. Apparently, the outer material of the door was steel, and there must be a layer of gold inside, which blocked the supernatural power.
"Ghost camera." Cao Yanhua said slowly.
"What's the use?" Yang Jian asked.
Cao Yanhua thought for a moment and said, "Take a photo."
Yang Jian looked at him strangely: "Why do I feel like you are kidding me? Aren't cameras used to take pictures? I want to ask what is the difference between this thing and an ordinary camera."
"This thing can take pictures of ghosts. As long as this camera successfully captures a ghost, the ghost can be imprisoned in the photo."
Cao Yanhua continued, "It's a very scary ability. The previous owner of the ghost camera was a photographer. He successfully photographed a ghost, and then the ghost disappeared. Then a photo came out of the camera, and the thing in the photo was exactly what a ghost looked like, so it has the ability to hold ghosts."
Yang Jian's eyes moved slightly: "Such an important thing is not placed in the hands of the ghost rider to solve the supernatural incident, but left here. There will be terrible side effects, right?"
If a ghost is photographed, the ghost can be imprisoned with a ghost catcher 's warrant . This is even more powerful than coffin nails. If it is true as Cao Yanhua said, this thing should be used to photograph the ghost catcher and imprison him in the photo.
However, headquarters did not do so.
Then there is obviously something wrong with this ghost camera.
"Yes, the ghost camera can imprison ghosts if used correctly, but there are two prerequisites. The first prerequisite is that the full appearance of the ghost must be captured, that is, the ghost's entire body must be captured. If an arm or a leg is missing, the ghost camera cannot complete the imprisonment." Cao Yanhua said.
Yang Jian asked again: "What about the second premise?"
"The camera will flash during the shooting process, and there is a risk of this flash getting out of control. Once out of control, the user will be trapped in the photo," said Cao Yanhua.
Yang Jian laughed when he heard this; "So holding this camera is equivalent to gambling your life with evil spirits? But if that's the case, this ghost camera shouldn't be sealed up, after all, sacrificing a few ordinary people to imprison evil spirits is a very worthwhile price, there should be other dangers."
"Indeed, there is, but I don't know much information. I only know that every time I take a photo, the lens is blocked by some strange things. Sometimes I take a photo of a non-existent hand, sometimes I take a photo of a second figure, and sometimes the photos are very blurry, as if something is interfering with the shooting."
Cao Yanhua glanced at the camera in the room and said, "I was worried about the potential horror, and considering that the success rate of taking full-body photos of ghosts was not high, I did not approve its use. But sometimes this thing can turn the tables if you are lucky. After all, even ordinary people can use this thing."
"The probability you mentioned is obviously not that high, otherwise it would have been used long ago." Yang Jian said.
"So I put it in Room 1, because if there is really no other way, I will allow it to be used," Cao Yanhua said; "This is a last resort."
"I'd better continue looking at other things." Yang Jian said.
Then he walked to the next room.
However, this ghost camera did make him a little excited. If he really encountered an evil ghost that he could not deal with, instead of waiting to die, he might as well take this camera and fight for the ghost's warrant . As long as he could successfully capture the ghost's entire body and avoid the danger of the flash getting out of control, then he could survive.
This is like a trump card.
However, since he had just arrived here, there were some things he still needed to look at. Yang Jian felt that what he needed was something to save his life, not something to risk his life for. After all, if you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. If you risk your life too many times, you will eventually fail. Therefore, saving your life is particularly important.
The second room arrived.
Yang Jian saw what was inside through the small glass window.
It was a small wooden box, and he couldn't identify what it was at first.
"What is that box?" Yang Jian asked again.
"Music box."
Cao Yanhua said casually, he was somewhat familiar with the information: "After opening it, music will play inside. The person holding the music box will never die while the music is playing. Even if they encounter a terrifying ghost, they can still survive. This has been tested and some people have used it."
"Similar to a ghost candle?" Yang Jian said.
"They're different. The ghost candle only prevents you from being attacked by ghosts, but the music box can't guarantee whether you will be attacked by ghosts. It can only guarantee that you won't die, and it lasts for a very long time. The maximum time has not been tested, but it is certain that it can easily reach at least a few hours, or even a whole day." Cao Yanhua said.
Yang Jian narrowed his eyes: "A music box that guarantees immortality? What are the risks?"
Supernatural items all have some risks, some are controllable, some are not, just like the ghost mirror in his home, which can bring people back to life, but the price is also high, as a fierce ghost must be released. However, if you don't have to bear the risk yourself, you can still accept it. But with something like a ghost camera, that's not so good, as you may die if you mess around with it.
"have no idea for now."
Cao Yanhua pondered for a moment and said, "I only know that those who used the music box to extend their lives, as well as the ghost riders, all died in the end. The cause of death was very strange. The headquarters of the last ghost rider who used the music box tried to save his life, but failed in the end. This thing has an incomprehensible curse. Considering that this thing can easily kill people, it has been sealed."
"How to use it with the ghost camera?" Yang Jian narrowed his eyes.
The immortality of the music box offsets the side effects of the ghost camera. This is an unsolvable combination in a short period of time. Although you may still be killed by the curse of the music box after the event, at least you can survive at that time.
At this moment, Wang Xiaoming spoke up: "I have considered this combination, so the headquarters placed these two items in Room 1 and Room 2. If they are to be used, it is better to use them together. At least it can ensure that a ghost can be successfully imprisoned without sacrificing one person."
"Yes, these two things can come in handy at critical moments, or even turn the situation around." Cao Yanhua nodded.
"I'll continue to look at other things." Yang Jian thought for a moment and continued to move forward.
