Chapter 127 Editing
"Mary Shaw, Mary Shaw, obey my call..."
Monotonous prayer sounded constantly in the abandoned wooden house.
In the dim wooden house, Jamie and his group held hands and surrounded the dining table, summoning Mary's soul under the faint light of the candle.
On the dining table, the flashing flames of candles form shadows of light and dark on the puppets.
Under the reflection of the swaying fire, the lifeless rough face of the clockwork puppet seemed to become strange and inexplicably.
“…”
The entire soul-summoning ceremony lasted for about five minutes, but nothing else happened in the entire wooden house except for the crackling sound of the candle burning.
The prayer of summoning the soul was repeated in his mouth. James's closed eyes slightly opened, sweeping over the impatient people in front of him, turning his head to look at the camera that was still shooting the picture. James bit his teeth, let go of his hand holding Sean and stretched over to the puppet sitting in the center of the candle.
However, James, who made this move, did not see it, just the moment he let go.
On the rough face of the clockwork puppet, in the lifeless eye sockets, the wooden eyeballs slightly turned.
Click!
He pushed the clockwork puppet on the dining table with his hands, making a crisp sound in the empty wooden house.
The next second, James exclaimed, as if he had no idea what had happened.
"Puppet, the toy puppet in the candle moved!"
When Laura, who was already nervous because of fear, was immediately screaming in horror.
With Laura's scream, the people who were performing the soul-summoning ceremony opened their eyes one after another. They looked at the puppet lying in the center of the candle and looked at its godless eyes, even if it was Mark who had always thought that Mary's horror nursery rhyme was just a lie, and the expression on his dark face turned a little bit blue.
On the side, the DV camera with red lights flashed took pictures of everything that happened in the living room.
...
"You shouldn't have done that just now, Jamie!"
Back in the car, Sean looked at the people who were still in shock, especially Laura, whose eyes were red and clearly showed signs of scaring crying, and couldn't help but say something to James beside him.
During the soul-summoning ceremony in the living room just now, although Jamie's actions were secret, they obviously could not hide from Shaun, who shook hands with him.
"I know I'll just create a little surprise for this shooting."
Faced with Sean's accusation, James held the rough clockwork puppet found in Mary Shaw's house in one hand and said indifferently.
"Otherwise, just based on the shots we took during the exploration of the spirit, there was no useful clip at all. What horrible nursery rhymes, Mary Xiao's abandoned residence, maybe Mark was right, that would be just a lie. I still believe in all this and ran over to shoot the exploration of the spirit!"
Thinking of my time, I tried my best to find information about Mary Xiao, and I felt like I was possessed.
As a result, the more you get is just some internal fragments of abandoned wooden houses.
"But you shouldn't deliberately push this puppet down when summoning souls."
As his eyes fell on the clockwork puppet in James's hand, Sean's tone couldn't help but heavier.
"I said it, it's all for the sake of shooting."
Originally, James did not take everything that happened at the soul-summoning ceremony too much, but Sean's repeated accusations undoubtedly made him a little more angry.
"What are you talking about, Sean..."
But at this moment, Susan, who heard the two arguing, reacted.
She looked at the clockwork puppet in James's hand and said coldly: "You pushed down the puppet in the soul-conjuring ceremony just now? You are so disgusting, James!"
"When I waited for my video, I became popular on YouTube, I want to see if you would say that."
A shooting of the spirit-exploring filming ended because of Jamie's selfish behavior.
However, James himself didn't care.
...
Late at night, at home in New York.
The clockwork puppet brought from Mary Shaw's wooden house was randomly discarded on the bed.
The puppet twisted his head, and the pair of lifeless eyes were aimed at James who was fully focused in front of the computer.
"There should be a little music here, and here..."
In front of the computer, James was conducting intense editing of the video materials taken in the DV camera, although he swears to the camera during the shooting that there will be no editing.
However, such words are purely used to deceive those naive audiences and earn clicks lies.
Introducing a terrifying sound effect to a scene that explores the spirit in the video, James frowned and cuts some of Susan's shots, then nods with satisfaction, pressing the play button of the video to watch the small scene of the spirit detection effect. Although there are no horror elements from the picture, it is inexplicably a bit terrifying when paired with the weird music.
Appreciating the effect of his shooting, James smiled on his face in front of the computer, and then edited the shooting materials in the computer. Finally, it was the most important part of the shooting shot, and he took everyone to the living room to continue the soul-summoning ceremony.
In the video, there are blurry shots, swaying candles and people's prayers. If you just intercept this small picture, even James will not be able to pick out too many problems from it.
When the shooting scene in the camera is played until the clip of him pushing down the puppet appears.
Then James clicked the pause button on the editing software and said to himself.
"This shot must be cut."
After some familiar operations, I cut off my own shots and modified the top time of the video.
Zhan Mi clicked the play button and watched this clip several times. He confirmed that there would be no more omissions or mistakes. Then he let out a long sigh.
Twisting his sore neck, his eyes inadvertently turned to a strange place in this short video.
"Wait a minute, do the puppet's eyes look in this direction?"
Looking at the clockwork puppet's slightly upward eyes in the video, a trace of doubt flashed through James' heart.
I reached out, clicked the mouse, and replayed the screen of this short video.
I saw that in the video shot, the puppet's eyes, which were originally motionless and lifeless, moved up silently and silently with Laura's scream.
"How is this possible?!"
Looking at the puppet's moving eyes in the video.
In front of the computer, a bone-black chill suddenly surged on Jamie's forehead, making his scalp numb.
Crunch, crunch—
And at this moment.
Behind Jamie, a sound of winding and twisting sounded.
