Chapter 1984

Lin Sanjiu used the last money he had to buy the phantom containing "sigh Hill House" from the projectionist.

"Do you like that movie so much," the projectionist said warily, pressing his hand on the broadcast item. "But you also know that without a suitable machine, you can't broadcast the phantom you bought?"

Under the persuasion of Qian, the projectionist just played yuan Xiangxi several times more slowly. Lin Sanjiu squinted and carefully identified it for a long time. Although many details were hidden in the dark, she still felt that Yuan Xiangxi in the film looked exactly the same as her last separation from Yuan Xiangxi.

"I'll just buy another phantom player," Lin Sanjiu replied, thinking of the horror suspense fan wearing a duck tongue hat. There are too many things she needs to inquire about: for example, the phantom wrapper says "the water calendar will be released on the 20th of the moon and the stars". When is it?

"Well, I don't know their chronology,"

When Lin Sanjiu finally found the cap in the airship bar, the other party's first answer disappointed her.

"If you can guess, how long is it from now?" She asked reluctantly.

Cap raised the cap and looked carefully at the package for a while. "There is no chronology as a standard, I can't see how long it is until now, but judging from the style of printing and packaging, it's a little old, and it's certainly not the latest batch... That is, the last batch before the end of the day. I remember that in the world of phantom sources, the end of the day happens to be a water calendar, and their calendar years should rotate every ten years - Oh, this is what I know from the film."

"That is to say, this phantom was published ten years ago at the latest."

"Yes," said duck tongue hat, "among the three films we watched, none of them has the world's portable communication system or anti gravity cargo transmission in the background, so I feel less in ten years."

This is only the time between the end of the world and the phantom in her hand - who knows how long ago the world ended? According to duck tongue hat, phantom has been circulating in the twelve realms for many years.

When Yuan Xiangxi died, he didn't look more than twenty-five. Even if the evolutionist's aging speed was twice that of ordinary people, he was at most a child when shooting "sigh House Hill", and it was impossible for him to participate in the film as an adult.

Then why does the image of Yuan Xiangxi appear in sigh hill house?

"Are you sure what you see... Anti gravity cargo transport or something, is not science fiction?" In order to more accurately rule out the possibility of Yuan Xiangxi's own participation, Lin Sanjiu asked.

"I always only watch horror suspense, and I'm not interested in science fiction." Duck tongue hat said, "besides, the level of technology in that world is very high. Take phantom films for example. Do you think it is filmed like other types of films?"

"Isn't it?" Lin Sanjiu's eyes widened.

"How can you achieve the lifelike effect of immersive shooting?" Talking about the areas of interest of duck tongue hat, he was really interested, saying: "it also uses film and television technology, but it is like filling in the color, which belongs to the last step of processing, used to add sound effects and adjust rich details. In the early shooting, all actors, objects and scenes have to be sprayed with a kind of paint."

"Paint?" Lin Sanjiu recalled the film, "what's the use?"

"Although I don't understand the specific technical details, I know its principle." The duck tongue cap shook the wine glass, looked at it and said, "the paint is like a container, no, a... Clay mold. The actions, expressions and words of people in the 'clay mold' at a certain time and at a certain moment will be read by a specific machine, and then recorded in the phantom in the form of energy. The later work is mainly to edit this energy form."

Seeing Lin Sanjiu's incomprehensible understanding, duck tongue hat added: "paint is a consumable material, for example, it can last for one day after painting. Then the plays performed by the actors in this day will be recorded and preserved by the machine. When shooting the next day, spray a new layer of paint, and then connect the content performed in the next day with that of the previous day."

It's really a wonderful technology - even if Lin Sanjiu survived the doomsday for more than ten years, she found that she could always see new things.

"So it's equivalent to a clay mold, which 'prints' the scene and characters," duck tongue hat seems to be very satisfied with his metaphor. "In this way, when we watch phantom movies, it's not too much to say that we really enter the scene in the film."

However, this still doesn't explain why yuan Xiangxi appeared in sigh hill house. Lin Sanjiu asked him for more advice for a while, including where to buy a phantom film player. When she stood up and left the bar, she still nodded without a clue.

"Goodbye," duck tongue hat waved to her from a distance. After the bar door closed, he turned to the bartender and said, "another beer -"

Before the word "wine" was said, the door of the bar was slammed open by someone - Lin San Jiu, who had just disappeared behind the door, rushed back with rapid strides, his face was faintly red, and he raised his voice and asked, "you just said that it was recorded on the phantom in the form of energy?"

"Ah?" Duck tongue cap was stunned, and then understood: "you mean the content of a good film? Yes, yes, what's the matter?"

"That is to say," Lin Sanjiu said, pressing his beating heart, "what is recorded in the phantom film is not data... But energy?"

Cap nodded blankly.

"How can the energy be released? Doesn't it disperse as soon as it is released?" Lin San Jiu asked eagerly. She made a lot of noise, which attracted the attention of many people in the bar, but after they looked at her for a few eyes and estimated her combat power level, they all turned their heads with tolerance.

"What's released is not energy," duck tongue hat frowned and said, "all the energy containing content has been well stored in the phantom in the order of the film. What we see is just one of it... Well, let's say projection."

Lin Sanjiu wiped his face.

"You've seen many horror suspense films," she lowered her voice and asked, "you must have seen many ghosts and heard many theories about ghosts. In a sense, ghosts are also... A form of energy, right?"

Cap nodded slowly.

"If... I mean, if, as one of the energy forms, the ghost is stored in the phantom..." Lin Sanjiu felt that his palms were sweating, for fear that he would hear the negative answer: "do you think it is possible?"

Under the cap of the duck tongue, those eyes lit up.

"Do you doubt that the ghosts in sigh hill house are real?" He murmured, "I don't know where you got the idea. In theory, it's really... It's really possible."

My goal this year is to finish, so I'll send the text first. Considering how many times I owe to all the bosses, if you want to see it, there will be plenty after the end!

After yesterday's tragedy, I'm ready to make steamed buns today. So far, I haven't created an alien sticky monster, and the dough has really grown up. It's amazing! Will it become fine if it grows further! My friend looked at my dough photo and said he was sure that he could take the next step. But what he doesn't know is that I can't roll the skin, and I don't have a steamer... Anyway, life is about living step by step.
