My first movie.

Zhang Ze chose the Lost Media, Lost Media No. 021.

The unique feature of this Lost Media is its short duration; with each replay, the characters gradually realize they are trapped in an infinite time loop.

Zhang Ze had already replayed the episode thirty-nine times.

This is the 40th time it has been played.

The progress bar had barely started moving when the image appeared: a blood-stained note that read, "Stop playing!"

Strangely, the space in the video seemed to be undergoing some violent movement, with a dull thud heard from time to time. Just as Zhang Ze was stunned, he saw a "splat" and a bloodstain smeared on the paper, startling Zhang Ze.

What exactly happened in the video?

It was replayed a full forty times, going through forty time loops.

I'm afraid Lin Xiaomei and Doctor Gao in the video have already gone mad.

Qiu Mei sat next to Zhang Ze, staring intently at the large screen. She also noticed that these recordings were unusual.

Just like the Left Eye.

Each of the Lost Media that Zhang Ze played had a supernatural effect.

It's unlike any ordinary horror movie.

The second movie.

Lost Media, Lost Media No. 008.

The essence of this Lost Media is a Ghost Face, or more precisely, the eyes of that Ghost Face.

After Master Guan finished repairing the videotape, this Ghost Face dragged the entire West City Police Station into Hell.

When Master Guan saw people on the honor roll who shouldn't be there, he was terrified, thinking the footage from the videotape had come true, and it actually happened.

"Don't spread ghost stories in Hanjiang City, because once someone believes them, they become true."

Like a spoiler-loving viewer, Zhang Ze muttered to himself, "Qiu Mei also saw the terrifying scene of the Police Station in video Lost Media No. 008, with faces hidden in the cracks of the ceiling, and Master Guan, who was only wearing a police uniform."

This scene is the origin of the name Zhang Ze Midnight Police Station.

The third movie.

Lost Media, Lost Media No. 011.

There was no video footage, only the magnetic voice of radio host Lychee, recounting a woman's journey from anorexia to gradually learning to cook meat.

They started targeting cats and dogs, and gradually began to set their sights on people.

The source of all this was the voice that echoed in the woman's mind during her extreme hunger.

"Eat meat, eat meat, meat is delicious."

Upon hearing this voice, the woman seemed to awaken certain memories, transforming from someone who had never lifted a finger into a skilled butcher, effortlessly removing bones and internal organs to cook meat for herself.

The fourth movie.

The fifth movie.

The sixth movie...

Qiu Mei's expression grew increasingly strange. She herself was in the movie "Left Eye," a horror film with a ghost story, which was already astonishing enough, but Zhang Ze actually pulled out even more than her.

Compared to Zhang Ze, Qiu Mei was like a greenhorn.

Zhang Ze was about to continue playing the movie, not knowing which showing it was, when Qiu Mei suddenly grabbed his hand.

"Um?"

Are you scared?

"If you're scared, just hold my hand tightly. Don't worry, most of the things in these movies are based on my own experiences; they won't hurt you."

Zhang Ze thought Qiu Mei was scared.

After all, it's perfectly normal for a girl to instinctively hold a boy's hand when she's watching a movie with a boy.

"Stop showing movies."

"Some of these films, I recognize, were made by the same person."

Qiu Mei spoke slowly.

Are we finally getting to the main topic?

Zhang Ze said seriously, "This is why I came to find you. These films all come from an organization called the Supernatural Research Company. They are suspected of being related to a horror film investor Yue Pan."

Do you know this person?

Qiu Mei fell into a long silence.

As the movie ended, no new images appeared on the screen. However, the strange phenomena did not stop, especially the suffocating atmosphere that permeated the entire theater, which gradually intensified.

Qiu Mei's voice was always full of resentment.

"Ever since Chang Gu took my eyes, the excruciating pain has driven me to madness. I wandered angrily through this cramped movie theater, always showing the audience my bloodied side."

I want to get my Left Eye back.

I want to get my Left Eye back.

"This is the only obsession I have left in my mind."

"But the movie you showed me awakened some long-forgotten memories. I seem to remember something from more than ten years ago."

Qiu Mei said.

Zhang Ze saw a new image appear on the screen.

"Awesome! No wonder she's Qiu Mei. I remember Qiu Mei's ability is to create images and implant memories."

"Watch memories like watching a movie!"

Zhang Ze was overjoyed.

This saves him from having to listen to a verbal version.

On the screen appeared a few people who looked young and inexperienced more than ten years ago, but from Qiu Mei's perspective.

"Are you really going to this extent for that school?"

"We have other options instead of dwelling on the past. What good would it do to go back to that place and destroy it again?"

"You are a more dangerous person than us, and more insane than us. You should answer that question yourself."

"Then you should understand that we are on the same path. We chose the same goal, just with different methods. One day the truth will come out."

After reading Qiu Mei's memories.

Zhang Ze fell silent.

He saw Yue Pan.

To be honest, he didn't expect that Yue Pan would also have connections with the Spirit Channeling Ghost School. Not only that, but like Chang Wenyu, Yue Pan was also a graduate of the Spirit Channeling Ghost School.

He even had a pleasant conversation with Chang Wenyu?

This is a bit abnormal.

If Yue Pan had really done something outrageous, Zhang Ze believed that Chen Ge would definitely have dealt with him, but the original novel didn't mention it, which can only mean one thing.

"Yue Pan, like Chang Wenyu, wanted to destroy the Spirit Channeling Ghost School, but Chang Wenyu's attempt failed, and she was ultimately stopped by Chen Ge."

"And Yue Pan succeeded."

Things had gotten a bit out of Zhang Ze's control.

The Spirit Channeling Ghost School is a scene with a 4-star Scream Index.

Chang Wenyu is Top-Tier Red-Clothed, but she only wants to destroy the Spirit Channeling Ghost School. As for the painter of the Spirit Channeling Ghost School itself, he is even more terrifying.

Yue Pan is at the same level as Chang Wenyu, and he has accomplished things that Chang Wenyu could not.

This is equivalent to Zhang Ze directly bypassing the Underground Morgue and Liwan Town instances, and fighting an even more powerful Spirit Channeling Ghost School boss.

Is this a joke?!

"Officer Kuai, I need to investigate Yue Pan's current location through you. Please don't summon Yue Pan by phone; that will only alert him."

"What's the reason?" Kuai Liang asked in return.

"It's a long story, I'll explain the reasons to you later, all I need now is the coordinates," Zhang Ze said.
