Yan Junze had not expected that Granny Ren''s obsession would dissipate simply because Yu Xiaochang visited her alone in Room 503.
Apparently, other than Yu Xiaochang, Granny Ren didn''t actually want to see any other family members.
The conversation between the children just now was enough to make an outsider feel chilled by their cold indifference toward Granny Ren.
Although he didn''t know why, it couldn''t be that the olddy was only fond of her grandchild Yu Xiaochang before her death. Without knowing the full story, it was indeed difficult for outsiders toment.
The others quickly followed Yu Xiaochang into Room 503, but less than two minutester, almost all of them hade back out, leaving only Yu Xiaochang and his mother inside.
The reason Granny Ren''s daughter remained inside was simple, Yu Xiaochang was crying his eyes out, unwilling to leave, so she had to stay with him in the bedroom.
After another three minutes, Security Officer Wei threw away his second cigarette and said, "Alright, we need to seal off the scene. The body will be transferred to the coroner for processing. The subsequent expenses should be borne by you children, and none of you will escape them. Now leave this ce."
"Yeah, it''s starting to stink, really reek," Security Officer Bai emerged from the bedroom, covering his nose and pointing inside, "The body has suddenly started to smell, it''s rotting terribly."
Ugh!
Yu Xiaochang''s mother vomited on the spot inside the bedroom, then frantically dragged Yu Xiaochang out of Room 503 and left without looking back.
"Ha, lucky we came out early," gloated Granny Ren''s second son.
"Get out! Wait for our notice!" Security Officer Wei cursed loudly, not wanting to even nce at these people again.
"Pah!" Grandpa Zheng red contemptuously and spat behind these people.
"Come on, you brave high school student, let''s go inform your parents. You might need toe with us to the station to give a statement," Security Officer Bai told Yan Junze.
Downstairs, after waking up Yan Daguo and Li Man, the couple nearly had their eyes pop out when they heard about their son''s incident. Thank goodness Yan Junze was fine, and it seemed that Granny Ren, the one knocking at midnight, didn''t have any ill intentions.
Then Yan Daguo apanied his son to the Public Security and Stability Bureau, where Yan Junze exined the cause and effect and also provided the video he had taken.
Watching the video, not only the security officers but even Yan Daguo himself broke out in a cold sweat.
Upon leaving, Security Officer Bai patted Yan Daguo on the shoulder, sighing, "Your son is born in a good era that suits his development. What guts he has, it would be a pity if he didn''t be an Exorcist. I won''t lie; just watching the video has my legs trembling."
Yan Daguo forced a smile, uglier than crying.
On the street, before Yan Daguo could ask any questions, Yan Junze looked him in the eyes and said earnestly, "Dad, honestly, the only reason I did this was so that you wouldn''t be woken up every night, so that you didn''t have to get up from bed and catch a cold. You''ve already had it tough enough."
Yan Daguo was taken aback.
"You understand my good intentions, right?" Yan Junze added.
"You little rascal." Yan Daguo finally reacted, half-crying and halfughing, and ruffled Yan Junze''s hair, "It was dangerous; it can''t happen again."
By the time they got back home, it was already broad daylight. Yan Junze only asked for the morning off school and used the time at home to catch up on sleep. He still went to school on time in the afternoon.
His mother, Li Man, was very worried. She had been scheduled for a cleaning job in the morning but had arranged for a good sister to cover for her at thest minute, staying at home to keep an eye on Yan Junze, fearing he might have another ident.
It looked like the matter with Granny Ren should havee to an end, and whether her children were filial was no longer Yan Junze''s concern.
Still, he was very fortunate this time, because he didn''t use the Rewind, so he didn''t consume any Different Dimension Energy.
In the afternoon, upon arriving at school, Zhou Dali immediately came over to Yan Junze, examining him curiously before finally asking, "Did you do it?"
"Yeah," Yan Junze nodded, "The first time recording a supernatural mystery video; quite thrilling actually, I''ll show you the videoter. Oh right, do you know anyone in our ss who can do video editing?"
"Jiang Ruixin," Zhou Dali answered without thinking.
"Is it good or not?" Yan Junze asked.
"Bao Jie did a good job," Zhou Dali blurted out again.
"Can you not answer all at once?"
"You ask, I answer, what''s the problem?"
Facing Dali''s peculiar way of thinking, Yan Junze was at a loss for words.
Bao Jie and Jiang Ruixin, who shared a desk and sat next to the two boys, became alert when they vaguely heard their own names from Zhou Dali''s mouth, and turned to look suspiciously at Yan Junze and Zhou Dali.
"Here''s the thing," Yan Junze politely inquired of the two female ssmates, "I have a video that needs some post-production editing, and I might need to add my ownmentary. Who among you knows how to do that?"
"What video?" Jiang Ruixin''s alertness rose noticeably as she looked at Zhou Dali, "Is it a selfie of Zhou Dali?"
In their eyes, what kind of good video could Zhou Dali possibly make himself? Mostly it would be him flexing his muscles in front of the camera, something like showing off his biceps and triceps, looking like a hammer with those deltoids, and those disgustinglyrge glute muscles...n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om
Just thinking about that scene made Jiang Ruixin feel nauseous.
Many times, boys think girls like musclemen, so they hit the gym and work out until they''re as ripped as can be.
In reality, it''s quite the opposite; girls only like guys with a little muscle, or even none at all, as long as their figure is proportionate, and not someone overly muscr like the oblivious and self-satisfiedrade Dali here.
"It''s a video I shot myself where I encountered weird stuff," Yan Junze promptly put a stop to the fantastical images in the girls'' minds.
"Ah, really!" Bao Jie immediately beamed with excitement.
Jiang Ruixin, after a moment of surprise, also showed keen interest.
"Aren''t you afraid?" Yan Junze asked, puzzled.
"Afraid, why wouldn''t we be?" Bao Jie nodded, "But when it''s just watching a video, my curiosity will ovee my fear."
"Me too." Jiang Ruixin nodded in agreement, "I''ve watched hundreds of strange videos on that ''Open Your Eyes'' video tform and they all seemed okay."
"Take it out, I''ll edit it for you," Bao Jie said.
Without further ado, the girl opened her backpack, took out an ultra-thinptop from the Whimsical Ideaspany, skillfully booted up the system, logged into her ount, and with a series of proficient moves, opened a video editor called "One Cutters."
Before ss started, they exported the video from Yan Junze''s phone and quickly copied the "The Old Woman Knocking at Mid-Night" video onto theputer.
All four of them huddled together and intently watched the video.
The video yed quickly, and Yan Junze fast-forwarded through parts like the search for theb.
After it ended, Bao Jie and Jiang Ruixin exchanged nces, both sighing in relief, feeling as if they had just experienced the horror in the video themselves.
"I just realized..." Bao Jie turned to look at Yan Junze, "You''re skinny but brave! In the dead of night, daring to open the door by yourself! And you even followed her in!"
"Can you edit it or not? After entering Room 503, brighten up the image for me, and I also want to add some off-screenmentary," Yan Junze said, ignoring herments and stating his request directly.
"No problem, after school, let''s finish making it in the ssroom before we leave," Bao Jie didn''t refuse.
