Others follow advice and imitate celebrities, but you start by pretending to be a god?

Wang Chengyu looked at the box pulled out from under the bed and at the mountain of videotapes inside.

"Playing these at a wedding? How long will it take to finish watching them all?"

As Wang Chengyu exclaimed, Jiang Tao beside him also felt puzzled.

"Fatty, maybe... there's a videotape in here for the wedding, but it was mixed up?"

He first muttered something under his breath, then felt something was not right.

After all, looking at the box, it has been under the bed for a long time.

It looks more like something left behind by the previous owner.

It must have not been moved out for a long time, so how come there is the volume that Uncle Chen and the others want?

The two of them pondered for a while, and Wang Chengyu took out his cell phone and said:

"Okay, I'll call again and ask."

As he spoke, he called Uncle Chen.

As a result, before the phone rang, I heard a prompt tone saying that the other party had turned off the phone.

"It's turned off? ... I can't get through."

Wang Chengyu hung up the phone helplessly and looked at Jiang Tao for help.

"I think...something is not right."

Jiang Tao said in a deep voice, as if he remembered something, and reminded Wang Chengyu:

"Do you still remember what the security guard said before?"

"He told us to finish our work as soon as possible and not to stay in this room for long."

"Or, let's just leave first, since the phone call won't work anyway."

Following Jiang Tao's words, Wang Chengyu was obviously moved.

However, after all, it was his father's old classmate who asked him for help in this matter.

If the phone can't be reached for a while, they will just leave without figuring out what's going on.

This is a bit unreasonable and I will definitely be scolded by my father.

Thinking of this, Wang Chengyu sighed and shook his head helplessly:
"Forget it... I'm already here."

"If I just walk away now, my dad will probably come over with a broom."

After that, Wang Chengyu took a look at the videotapes in the box and said to Jiang Tao:

"Brother Tao, we searched everywhere in this room, but there was only this box of videotapes. Maybe it just fell in there accidentally."

"I'm going to look for it, why don't you wait for me downstairs?"

After hearing what Wang Chengyu said, Jiang Tao saw that he had made up his mind.

So without saying anything more, he just picked up the box of videotapes and walked towards the living room.

"We came here together, how can I leave you alone?"

"Besides, I originally thought I was going to be a laborer. If I can't remember, wouldn't it be much easier to just find a videotape?"

Seeing Jiang Tao's actions, Wang Chengyu was naturally deeply moved.

He smiled at Jiang Tao and said politely:

"Hehe, I knew that you, Brother Tao, are reliable! You will definitely not abandon your brothers."

As they talked, they carried the box back to the living room.

Right here in the living room, there is a player connected under the TV.

Jiang Tao put down the box and tried to search through the videotapes.

See if there are any newer videotapes, which are most likely what Uncle Chen is looking for.

After searching through them, I found that there was no difference between the old and new videotapes from the outside.

It doesn't look like a movie videotape at all, there's not even a simple cover poster.

There was just a note on top of each videotape.

There was no text on it, only a string of meaningless numbers.

It looked like the kind of pirated videos that were sold on the street in the past, which were recorded by people themselves.

"Could it be that these are all videos taken by that young couple? But which part will be played at the wedding?"

"There's no marking on them. They all look the same except for the number."

Obviously, Wang Chengyu was also a little confused and was at a loss for words when looking at these videotapes.

Hearing the voice, Jiang Tao looked through the videotapes and picked out the one with the largest number.

"According to the order of the numbers above, this one should be the most recent, and it is most likely to be it."

Upon hearing this, Wang Chengyu also felt that what Jiang Tao said made some sense.

Immediately, the two of them put the videotape into the player.

Then they found the TV switch. The two were somewhat unfamiliar with these objects.

After some searching, I was finally able to play the video.

However, when the picture appeared on TV, both of them had strange looks on their faces.

"What...is this?"

Wang Chengyu muttered in confusion, and the two of them took two steps back.

I found a position where I could see the entire TV screen clearly and looked at it carefully.

As they had expected, the tapes were not film content.

The video tape currently being played doesn't even have any title sequence at all.

The first picture that came into Wang Chengyu and Jiang Tao's eyes when the TV lit up was...

Just a bed.

The video was shot facing a simple bed in front of him.

The surrounding scenes are too ordinary, and the focus of the entire picture seems to be just this bed.

When Wang Chengyu saw this scene for the first time, he seemed to have understood something in his mind in an instant.

He coughed twice embarrassedly and looked at her again.

As if to break the awkwardness, he said to Jiang Tao:

"Ahem... Taozi, I never thought that this kind of thing would be in the videotape."

"It's a minimalist layout, simple furniture, and there's only a bed in the picture. I guess it's going to be busy soon."

As Wang Chengyu spoke, his voice gradually became lower, and he continued awkwardly:
"Hey, we have to come all this way to find this thing? Wait...they also want to put this at the wedding?"

"Isn't this scene too exciting?"

His expression kept changing as Wang Chengyu spoke.

It seems that he is imagining the scene of the wedding.

While Wang Chengyu was speaking, Jiang Tao was also looking carefully at the TV screen in front of him.

He looked at it for a few seconds and seemed to realize something.

So, he raised his hand to interrupt Wang Chengyu's voice, frowned and said:
"Fatty, do you think... the scene in this picture looks familiar?"

"Why...what do you mean?"

Wang Chengyu was stunned by what Jiang Tao said. He didn’t seem to see anything special about it.

Then he thought of something, looked at Jiang Tao with some admiration, and said:

"Oh, Brother Tao, I really didn't recognize a great man!"

"I didn't notice! Have you watched this movie?"

Hearing this, Jiang Tao rolled his eyes at Wang Chengyu and continued:
"What are you thinking about? I really think it looks familiar. Look at the fan-shaped headboard and the foot of the bed."

Following Jiang Tao's guidance, Wang Chengyu stared and observed carefully.

Because he was thinking too fast just now, he subconsciously thought of a bed when he saw it, and a picture appeared in his mind.

It was only after Jiang Tao's reminder that he noticed these details in the picture.

Although it was a seemingly ordinary bed, it did give him a sense of déjà vu.

It’s as if... I had seen it just now.

When Wang Chengyu thought of this, he was stunned for a moment.

Immediately, he hurried towards the bedroom and took a look.

He ran back to the living room in two steps and looked for similarities on TV.

Finally, he got the confirmation and pointed at the TV screen and said:

"Hiss... Oh, it looks familiar!"

"Isn't this the bedroom!" Just as Wang Chengyu said, the scene played on the videotape at this moment was the situation in that bedroom!

The reason why the two did not recognize it at first glance was because the scene was too simple.

Moreover, the beds and bedding in the bedroom have been replaced.

The videotape shows pure white bedding, which would be hard to identify if it weren't for the headboard and exposed bed legs.

However, after receiving this information, Wang Chengyu became even more confused.

He had a frivolous smile on his face, and couldn't help but say sadly:

"Oh, so Uncle Chen's son is so playful? He took a whole box of videos in the house?!"

As Wang Chengyu finished speaking, Jiang Tao folded his hands and stared at the screen without responding.

Seeing this, Wang Chengyu was worried that the videotape would contain some scenes that could not be broadcast.

So he asked tentatively: "Looking at this scene, it's probably not this volume."

"How about we try another one?"

Following Wang Chengyu's suggestion, Jiang Tao stared at the screen intently.

The videotape was still playing, and the next second, Jiang Tao seemed to see something.

He narrowed his eyes, shook his head at Wang Chengyu and said:

"Wait... there's someone on the bed!"

When Jiang Tao finished speaking, Wang Chengyu suddenly shuddered all over.

When I saw this picture just now, I only saw the pure white bedding on the bed.

But he didn't see any human figure appear, which scared him.

He quickly looked at the TV and found that it was just as Jiang Tao said.

The bedding on the bed was slightly raised, and it looked like there was indeed someone lying on it.

However, due to the perspective, they could not see the man's face clearly.

You can vaguely see that the person lying on the bed has long hair.

It looks like a girl, and seems to be sleeping soundly.

If it weren't for the faint rise and fall of the bedding, they would even have doubted it.

Could the person lying on the bed have already died?

"There really is someone here, she looks like a girl, but..."

Wang Chengyu was talking, but before he could finish his words, he saw a figure appear in the picture.

It immediately attracted the attention of both of them.

The figure looked like a middle-aged woman, walking in the picture.

She didn't look like a girl lying on the bed; her appearance and figure could be seen clearly by both men.

When she appeared in front of the camera, she didn't do anything unusual.

I was just tidying up the room with a broom, and then started mopping the floor.

It looks like a very normal life, nothing unusual at all.

"What is this? Isn't it just an old lady cleaning the house?"

“Is it necessary to record it?”

Seeing this, Wang Chengyu couldn't help but mutter in confusion.

Jiang Tao, who was standing aside, was staring at the girl on the bed.

After all, the only thing that is a little strange in this picture is the girl on the bed.

This lady should be her mother, but she has been walking around the house.

The girl on the bed remained motionless, as if she couldn't hear anything at all.

"Why doesn't the girl on the bed have any reaction at all?" Jiang Tao couldn't help but mutter.

"Hey, what's so weird about this?"

"Maybe he hasn't woken up yet, and he doesn't know if someone came into the house to clean."

Jiang Tao heard this and shook his head:

"No... If this were my mother, the first thing she would do when she entered the house with a broom would be to grab me."

Hearing Jiang Tao's words, Wang Chengyu was also stunned.

He turned to look at the TV screen and saw the mother still tidying the room.

She even started taking out all the clothes in the closet and folding them neatly for her daughter.

He and Jiang Tao felt the same way and nodded:

"Really... I guess my mother wouldn't like it either."

"If she was cleaning the room while I was sleeping in bed, she would have been so angry that she would have thrown off the quilt."

But as the two talked, the situation in the picture became more and more serious.

Not only did the daughter on the bed not respond, but her mother brought something over.

Then he lifted his daughter up from the bed and began to feed her carefully with a spoon.

As the mother helped her daughter up from the bed, she let her lean against the headboard.

Wang Chengyu and the other man finally saw the appearance of the person on the bed.

For a moment, the two of them couldn't help but gasp.

The person lying on the bed was almost skin and bones.

His face was pale and he looked like he hadn't been out of bed for a long time.

Moreover, his eye sockets were sunken and he looked very thin.

Given her extreme thinness, her bulging eyes looked a little out of place.

Moreover, his pair of lifeless eyes were staring straight at the camera!

It seemed as if his eyes could see through the TV screen and look at Wang Chengyu and Jiang Tao!

Seeing this scene, Wang Chengyu and the other man felt a chill on their backs.

For a moment, they even thought that what they saw was not a TV screen...

It's just a piece of transparent glass!
They were facing the mother and daughter in the bedroom through the thin glass!

As this thought arose, a terrifying atmosphere spread invisibly.

Wang Chengyu and Jiang Tao both seemed to have their acupuncture points pressed at the same time and remained frozen for a long time.

Until the mother finished the whole bowl of porridge.

He also used tissue to wipe the food residue on the bed and put the girl lying on the bed back down.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief only when they could no longer see the girl's eyes.

"Oh my god...what's going on?"

"Brother Tao, did you see that? That girl looked at us like she was staring at us. It scared me!"

Wang Chengyu patted his chest and complained, then walked forward.

It can be basically confirmed that this videotape is just a mother taking care of her sick daughter.

So, without waiting for this videotape to finish, he replaced it with another one in the box and continued playing it.

However, as another videotape was played, the scene shown on the TV screen was still familiar.

Or that mother and daughter...

A bedridden daughter and her mother who has been serving her and doing housework by her side.

The only difference was the clothes the mother wore.

Seeing this, Wang Chengyu continued to change it with some disbelief.

But even after watching several videotapes, they all contained similar content.

Gradually, the two discovered...

A box of videotapes, all of which are videos of mother and daughter’s daily life at home!

Moreover, when the video is playing, a white picture will occasionally suddenly float by.

It’s like the pot-lid TV we had as kids, which suddenly lost its signal.

Although the visual content of these tapes has not changed much.

But the more they looked at it, the weirder it seemed!
