Most of the shots are provided by the portable camera on Lu Ban's chest. The picture quality of this camera is not that good. It is generally used for selfies during extreme sports. Of course, it is said that this is the case. In fact, Jia Wenbin is very clear that this must have been shot with professional photography equipment, but it was just pretending to be handheld.

Although this scene has the shaking and realism of a handheld camera, it actually doesn't really make the audience feel dizzy, and what should be seen clearly can be seen clearly.

Before entering the hospital, the camera was slightly raised, allowing Jia Wenbin to see clearly what the entire hospital looked like. It was bleak, desolate, dilapidated, and declining. All kinds of negative words could describe this hospital. It was getting late, and the hospital was dark, deep and secluded.

However, when the camera moved down, Jia Wenbin clearly saw a little girl standing in front of the window sill in the hospital corridor!

The image disappeared in a flash, but it remained deeply on Jia Wenbin's retina.

He knew very well that a special shooting technique was used here. It looked like a sudden glance swept across the scene at random. In fact, when the camera moved, the focus stayed on the little girl for a moment longer, creating an effect that although careless, could attract the audience's attention.

However, everything became clear. When Jia Wenbin looked at the little girl, with the pale and gloomy expression on her face, he still felt a little out of breath and instinctively resisted entering the hospital.

But the movie cannot be controlled by the audience.

Lu Ban walked into the hospital and started exploring.

In a dim environment, this kind of first-person exploration really tests the audience's endurance, because the area that can be seen is the small area illuminated by the flashlight, and the other parts are not completely dark, but hazy, as if there is something, but also as if there is nothing.

Therefore, any face in the poster, broken medicine bottle or other things will cause the audience's emotions to fluctuate.

"You must encounter something next."

Jia Wenbin knows the tricks of horror movies. In this silent environment, the protagonist must encounter something.

At this time, Lu Ban in the movie seemed to find something. He shined the flashlight and saw the elevator door.

"Elevator, is it the elevator that had the accident?"

Jia Wenbin guessed that elevators were mentioned in many places in the previous tapes, and this elevator seemed to be somewhat strange.

He saw Lu Ban pry open the elevator door and shine the light of the flashlight into the dim car. Immediately, a figure appeared in front of Jia Wenbin. He was startled and his heart skipped half a beat before he saw clearly that it was Lu Ban.

Lu Ban appeared in the mirror, Motionless.

Jia Wenbin just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw something flashing past Lu Ban's feet.

He knew very well that it seemed to be a little girl!

Crunch——

The elevator door began to close slowly. Amidst such a heartbreaking sound of metal friction, Lu Ban ran out of the elevator and took one last look at the mirror in the elevator.

Lu Ban in the mirror seemed to be smiling.

Jia Wenbin felt a little horrified, his scalp was numb, his hands were clenching and unclenching, and his palms were already covered with sweat.

Lu Ban continued exploring and came to the nurse's station.

He found a notebook here, which recorded some of the nurses' night patrols. The writing in the notebook was a bit messy and scrawled, and Jia Wenbin could only make out it slightly.

Suddenly, Lu Ban stopped flipping through the notebook. The camera trembled slightly. When he lifted it up, he saw a face appearing in the center.

"Hiss——"

Jia Wenbin took a breath, but he quickly recognized that it was just a promotional poster on the wall. The camera moved closer and showed that this person was the former director of this hospital.

The camera moved, put away the notebook, and walked towards the stairs. From time to time, it took pictures of the departments and wards next to it, but there was nothing inside except garbage.

At this time, the camera turned, revealing the appearance of one of the wards under the light of a flashlight.

The room was not empty, but had a hospital bed and an operating table.

The camera moves forward and enters the room.

You can see that the walls of this room are mottled and stained, and the hospital beds and operating tables are also dilapidated, giving people a gloomy feeling.

The camera enters the room, looks around, and then seems to lie down on the bed.

This perspective makes Jia Wenbin feel very uncomfortable and unstable.

Such an oblique perspective in photography is often used to create a sense of uneasiness. Especially now that the first person is substituted into the movie, it makes Jia Wenbin even more uneasy. Moreover, such a lens cannot capture the appearance of the door, which makes him worried about whether something will run in at this time.

Before Jia Wenbin could worry about Lu Ban in the movie, there was a slight sound of metal collision. Jia Wenbin's heart was in doubt. The camera looked towards the door as expected and saw a doctor in a white coat slowly walking in, holding a scalpel in his hand.

The camera was shaking, making it difficult to see the doctor's face clearly. However, after a few pauses, Jia Wenbin could tell that the doctor was not a living person, and his eyes were colder and colder than those of the dead.

Jia Wenbin saw Lu Ban pick up the crowbar, avoid the doctor's scalpel, and hit him hard on the head. In the chaotic struggle, the doctor seemed to be defeated, and was kicked twice by Lu Ban, knocking him unconscious.

Lu Ban stretched out his hand and opened the doctor's mask.

Jia Wenbin's eyes widened. He saw the suture marks on the doctor's face. These marks were too real. Even the most powerful special effects makeup artist would have difficulty reaching this level. This sense of reality led to a fear of empathy. Jia Wenbin even felt a little itchy on his face. Those scars were like personal experience.

At this time, the sound of metal friction was also heard in the corridor, and the originally dark and silent hospital seemed to wake up suddenly.

However, the doctor walking outside was holding a saw in his hand, and he was equally terrifying.

The camera immediately turned its back to the wall, suppressed its breathing, and became quiet.

Jia Wenbin also held his breath at the same time, fearing that his breathing would attract the other party.

He could even hear his heartbeat slowing down.

At this time, the camera turned towards the door, and Jia Wenbin saw an ugly stitched head peeking in from the door.

Reason clearly told him that this was all false, but Jia Wenbin's body was very honest. It began to tremble violently, his heartbeat accelerated for a moment, and blood filled his ears, just like the feeling of having his deepest secrets exposed in broad daylight.

"Death, death, death."

Jia Wenbin murmured to himself, anxious in his heart. He didn't know when he had substituted himself into Lu Ban, and entered this abandoned hospital. Facing the sudden monster, he felt not only frightened, but also panicked.

He saw the monster looking around the room and finally leaving. At this time, Jia Wenbin breathed a sigh of relief.

After Lu Ban confirmed the situation outside, he chose to continue walking forward, but Jia Wenbin felt that he had to slow down.

For the first time, he paused the playback in his small theater and walked out of the study, wanting to drink a glass of wine to calm down his shock.

The old god came to the kitchen. Jia Wenbin had just taken out the wine bottle and poured himself a glass when he heard a voice.

"Why do you think of drinking?"

"Grass!"

Jia Wenbin almost threw the bottle of wine in his hand. He looked around and saw his wife lying on the sofa, without turning on the light, playing on her mobile phone.

"You scared me to death"

He had lingering fears.
