Chapter 166: Chapter 166: Double Doubt Chapter 166: Chapter 166: Double Doubt Chen Ke leaned against the door of the gun shop, scrutinizing the video on his cell phone.
First, it was certain that an iPhone 3G couldn’t support a mory card, and Chen Ke had never transferred this video to his new phone.
This video was definitely not normal.
He recalled the source of the video; it was a week ago, in the cheap motel he had rented, hidden within a spy cara in the alarm clock set up by the landlord, equipped with a mory card storing this video.
It was mixed in with many other surreptitiously recorded videos, making it seem quite ordinary.
The video’s content was very simple. It started pitch-black, as if the cara’s angle was bad during the secret recording, failing to capture the image properly, but at the sa ti, there were various ambiguous female voices in the background.
In the next ten seconds, amidst the dark background, a woman’s heart-wrenching scream could be heard, so piercing that it was unbearable to listen to a second ti, filled with tragedy and resentnt.
Lastly, the most frightening part of the video arrived; the all-encompassing blackness slowly receded to reveal that this darkness was actually a woman’s eyes, with pupils and sclera both black, clearly not sothing of a normal human.
“Hehe… where’s the sun…”
“Where’s the sun…”
Chen Ke played the last segnt over and over and then paused the video exactly when the woman’s face was fully revealed.
This woman had an Asian face, thin features, and her skin was sowhat pale.
Her teeth were as sharp as those of a rodent, and green mucus continuously flowed from the narrow nostrils beneath her slender nose.
The woman’s hands had only four fingers, and she had a constant habit of wiping her nose. Although the video was paused, Chen Ke always felt that the woman’s eyes seed to be watching him.
The video itself was definitely filled with problems; Chen Ke found it hard to believe it was secretly recorded. It looked more like the strange woman had recorded it herself, hoping for it to be seen.
How was it recorded? Using the motel’s spy cara? Chen Ke didn’t think so. A video couldn’t just end up in his phone without reason.
Chen Ke pinched his chin, pondering.
Perhaps, the mory card in the motel was a transcendent item, capable of infinitely copying the stored video onto any playable dium?
But Chen Ke quickly dismissed this speculation. If the mory card itself was the issue, then it should have stuffed all videos into the iPhone 3G, not just this one.
If it wasn’t the storage dium that was faulty, then it must be the video itself that had issues.
Although his mory wasn’t very clear, he rembered that when he first watched the video at the rented place, the woman in the video said she would co for him in seven days, but now it had changed to two days.
Counting on his fingers, it seed the timing was correct…
Chen Ke was puzzled; was this still the sa video? If so, it was too weird—could this video actually keep track of ti and change its ssage accordingly?
At this mont, the woman in the video suddenly smiled at Chen Ke, sticking out a purple, snake-like tongue, and then she left the fra. Now, the video only showed a bed and a wall…
A chill ran down his spine, and all the hairs on his body stood on end.
Now, Chen Ke wasn’t afraid of such strange things, but he didn’t want to encounter sothing like this without any preparation.
Suddenly, the phone crashed from the video interface, returning to the ho screen. Chen Ke hurriedly reopened the photo album app, only to find it completely empty.
“Where’s the sun…”
A woman’s voice echoed in Chen Ke’s mind, as if it was distant on the horizon yet close to his eyes. He frowned and looked around,
he knew that so trouble had targeted him…
Opportunity City, Spiritual Ability Administration’s affiliated hospital.
Diana Prince sat in her underwear on a chair, her left arm in a splint, cradled in front of her chest. Her forehead and collarbone were bandaged, and she had a bandage wrapped around her right waist and abdon.
The battle at the factory last night had given her a tough ti, her left shoulder was dislocated, she had a fractured upper arm, strained muscles in her waist and abdon, and her collarbone also showed signs of fracture.
It was all thanks to that combined monster, whose powerful punches, despite being blocked with a shield, were still potent enough to injure.
But due to Diana’s and Bader’s outstanding performance, they significantly reduced the casualty rate for P.W.A.T and saved many lives.
That was precisely why Diana couldn’t continue with field work for the ti being, so she was forced to decompress and temporarily transfer to a clerical position.
The lost Spiritual Ability Pistol had been found, matching the one registered in the system.
This morning, a colleague from the forensic identification departnt handed over the fingerprint analysis report of the firearm to Diana. Unfortunately, the fingerprints on the pistol were wiped clean, indicating that the opponent was highly professional.
Diana also reconfird the gun’s owner and registration information over the phone. Even though there were so discrepancies in the tiline, it indeed belonged to Parker.
Diana didn’t believe in the whole “ti travel” thing, even though this world was crazy, she had never seen a ti traveler.
After decompressing, she dressed and left the hospital. At this mont, she was no longer a Spiritual Ability User, but rather a 28-year-old injured woman with limited mobility.
“Rember to co back at 9 p.m. every day to change your dressings,” the nurse called out after her.
“I know!” she replied helplessly.
Just as she stepped out, she received a call from her old classmate, Aileen.
“Did you find the gun?” Aileen asked straightforwardly.
“Yes, just last night. Your information is really tily,” Diana responded.
“Great, let’s et at the old place at 11 a.m.,” Aileen decided on her own.
“You’re in Opportunity City now?” Diana was surprised.
“Yeah, I arrived last night. The case concerning Parker has now been escalated to the highest level by our research institute. We get word of any developnt,” Aileen said proudly.
“It seems you are more anxious than I am…” Diana said while touching her forehead.
“We need more detailed information to help unlock the secrets of Parker’s body. Don’t you think it’s fun? A person who’s dead but still alive, like an unbreakable lie,” Aileen laughed.
“It sounds like a third-rate sci-fi TV show, Aileen, you watched quite a few of those in college…” Diana sighed.
“The universe is so wonderful, showing us many impossibilities that challenge our perception, but I’m ready to uncover all the answers,” Aileen laughed.
“Good luck then, Miss Wang. I’m going to sleep for a bit, and we’ll catch up at 11 a.m.” Diana said. Since last night, she hadn’t closed her eyes, and after a high-intensity battle without any food, she felt extrely tired.
“Oh, poor Diana, going to sleep hugging a pillow again. What will you dream of? Muscle n or electric horses?” Aileen joked.
“I’ll dream of you wearing Hello Kitty pajamas, hugging a pillow, trying to climb into bed,” Diana replied coldly.
