157. Tape

In the slightly hoarse voice of the narrator, Qin Tiantian saw a construction site. The narrator seemed to be the person in charge of the site, and he was overseeing the demolition work of the hospital.

"Is this the hospital that was demolished before? Did you go there to film on location?"

Qin Tiantian asked curiously.

I guess so.

Lu Ban responded. He didn't just go to find the location; he actually destroyed it.

"You can't even get a clear picture of these people's faces; your photography skills are terrible."

Qin Tiantian even made a joke.

In the scene recreation on this cassette tape, the camera often uses a first-person perspective or a view from behind to the front, as well as various angles of peeking out from the ruins, making it difficult to see what the actors actually look like, and giving the feeling that someone is spying on those characters.

The initial demolition was proceeding normally, but when the workers started the excavator to demolish the hospital building, something unexpected happened.

Qin Tiantian clearly saw what appeared to be a little girl standing in front of the excavator's shovel through the window of the abandoned hospital!

"Hiss--"

She felt a little flustered and took a breath, because the girl had only flashed by, so Qin Tiantian didn't know if she had really seen her.

But when the site manager led the workers into the hospital building to search, Qin Tiantian saw a white figure quickly run past in the stairwell behind them as they walked through the corridor.

"!!!"

Qin Tiantian suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, not to mention that from the moment she started walking into that abandoned hospital building with these workers, she felt the smell of dust and medicine.

In the next scene, Qin Tiantian saw the construction site manager driving and making a phone call. From the call, she learned that he had successfully demolished the building and was on the highway home.

At this moment, the site manager put down his phone, turned around, and saw a nurse in white coat in the passenger seat. The nurse had a bluish-black face, no whites in her eyes, and looked ferocious and terrifying.

The site manager slipped on the steering wheel, and the entire vehicle hurtled towards the guardrail and crashed.

Qin Tiantian was startled by the explosion of the car accident. Seeing the burning car, she felt a wave of heat hitting her, but she didn't feel hot. Instead, she felt a chill down her spine.

"Was that revenge? The ghosts in the hospital are retaliating against him for demolishing the building?"

She asked Lu Ban, but found that Lu Ban didn't respond. She didn't know when, but he seemed to have left the room.

"?"

Qin Tiantian subconsciously wanted to pause, but the narration started again.

His voice had changed; it was as if he were a different person.

The second site manager continued the demolition work. While sorting through the buildings that had been demolished, they discovered that the cement pillars inside were hollow, and the shape of those hollow pillars looked just like a person!

A person was buried alive inside a concrete pillar!

Qin Tiantian curled up her legs, huddled in the chair, and trembled.

She also saw that when the workers were inspecting the building, the elevator, which had no power, suddenly started up on its own and injured people. She also saw a worker who was inspecting the building suddenly jump off the fifth floor as if he had been possessed.

In the end, only the site manager was sitting in the duty room, taking notes with a pen. It seemed that what he was recording was the content of the tape.

Suddenly, he looked up and saw that the lights were on in the Room at the end of the corridor on the fifth floor of the dark hospital main building.

As if possessed, the construction site manager stood up and slowly walked towards the hospital building.

The dilapidated hospital building had a nauseating smell. Qin Tiantian tensed up, gripping her arm tightly, trying to look away from the screen, yet unable to suppress her curiosity.

She saw the construction site foreman walking through the dimly lit hospital with a flashlight. With each step, the flashlight illuminated a dark spot, revealing what was hidden there: broken medicine bottles, soiled sheets and clothes. The appearance of each item made her feel a jolt of fear, making it impossible to relax.

Finally, the site manager arrived at the fifth floor, at the Room at the end of the corridor. The room had no windows, the door was ajar, and the light was on inside. The site manager, his eyes bloodshot, pushed open the door, and as the light filled the entire screen, the tape abruptly stopped.

From Lu Ban's subsequent lines, we can see that this construction site manager eventually disappeared.

"Did he go into that house and then disappear?"

Qin Tiantian couldn't help but ask.

The reality of the situation gave her time to think. From this recording, it was clear that there was indeed something wrong with the hospital, and it might even be haunted. After the initial shock, Qin Tiantian was left with doubts and suspense.

She saw that after listening to the first recording, Lu Ban in the movie conducted some interviews and investigations, connecting the clues of the whole incident.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Ban listened to the second recording.

This is a nurse's confession. During her night patrol, she saw an elderly man from the intensive care unit appear in Room at the end of the corridor and wave at her. This part of the story is even more terrifying, especially when the old man, who was like a puppet, waved at the nurse. Qin Tiantian got goosebumps all over.

After watching the recording, Qin Tiantian's curiosity was completely piqued.

What's in the Room at the end of the corridor?

By now, she understood the core appeal of the film: the Room at the end of the corridor. Both the worker's disappearance and the strange phenomena witnessed by the nurse were related to the Room at the end of the corridor.

This is similar to the suspense that a mystery movie tells the audience at the beginning: Who is the murderer? In this situation, Qin Tiantian's attention was completely focused on various details, trying to find the answer in the room at the End of the Corridor before the plot.

The third recording also came from a nurse.

The nurse was on the night shift, and in her somewhat nagging and mercenary confessions, Qin Tiantian seemed to smell the disinfectant and medicine.

The nurse was woken up, but her companion looked a bit strange. Qin Tiantian immediately thought of the old man who had waved like a puppet earlier.

"Could it be that this nurse has already..."

She saw the nurse walking with a light, airy gait, and from a first-person perspective, it seemed strangely eerie.

At night, all the hospital lights were turned off, and the corridors were pitch black, with only the elevator lights illuminating the way.

The two entered the elevator. The oppressive, enclosed space made Qin Tiantian feel instinctively uncomfortable. She saw the nurse in the first-person perspective looking around uneasily. Soon, the camera focused on the mirror in the elevator.

The mirror shows the nurse's own reflection from a first-person perspective; apart from that, no one else can be seen in the elevator.

The camera shakiened for a moment, turning to the nurse who was leading the way, and then back to the camera.

Without a doubt, there was no reflection of her in the mirror!

Moreover, Qin Tiantian noticed that the nurse was standing on tiptoe, and Qin Tiantian remembered that only dead people walked like that!
