Silence!
A deathly silence.
If everyone was still thinking of watching a prank, then when that face appeared, this mentality instantly disappeared.
The wrinkles on Professor Xu's old face seemed to be able to pinch a mosquito to death. Lu Guotao's usually calm and extraordinary face was also full of surprise.
On Lu Wan's screen, that strange face was extremely clear, but everyone could not help but avoid looking at it.
It was a face that could send chills down one's spine with just a glance!
This face was similar to the head of an ordinary human. It had no nostrils or mouth. Most importantly, its eyes, which had no pupils, seemed to be gouged out by it no matter how one looked at it!
Lu Wan endured the discomfort and took a few more glances before quickly turning off the screen. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief.
She turned to look at Lu Guotao, but what she saw was Lu Guotao's complicated expression.
"How is it?"
He asked this question with difficulty.
Lu Wan smiled bitterly. She didn't say anything, but she seemed to have said everything.
At the same time, the viewers in the live broadcast room who had regained their senses had already caused a huge uproar.
"Face! You're so f * cking shameless!"
"Could it be that what the scp said is true? Is there really something abnormal in this world?”
"If it's true, then it's too terrifying. The endless stairs, the cries that could never be found, the strange faces that appeared out of thin air…Just thinking about it was terrifying.”
"What should we do?"
Of course, although many viewers had begun to waver in their worldview, there were still more viewers who held the opposite view.
It wasn't a simple argument. After all, it wasn't easy for these people who had received decades of scientific education to agree that there was something abnormal in the world.
Many times, reasonable doubts were necessary.
"Everyone, don't be in a hurry to make a conclusion."
"That's right. Isn't it just a strange human face? The more this thing appeared, the more it proved that this was a prank!”
"That's right. Think about it, everyone. The real abnormality might be like this. The purpose is to scare people.”
"It's true. I suddenly remembered that whether it was when the mask appeared or when it suddenly moved, it really seemed like a prank that was set up by someone.”
"That's right. In the end, what's really worth discussing about this prank is the stairs.”
In the recording room, a police officer also considered this. One of the police officers said in a deep voice,"Actually, there's room for maneuver when we go downstairs.”
Seeing that everyone was looking over, the police officer said calmly,"To do this, you need three conditions: An absolutely dark environment, limited light, and constant psychological hints!”
As he spoke, he gave an example."I wonder if anyone has heard of the Penrose Steps?”
"You mean the stairs that are said to be endless?" Lu Wan immediately replied. However, wasn't that an ideal model? It's one of the famous mathematical conjectures!"
The Penrose Stairs referred to a staircase that always went up or down, but it was an infinite loop. It could be seen as a variation of the Penrose Triangle, and the highest or lowest point could never be found on this staircase.
The male police officer, who was also the elite of the Criminal Investigation Unit, He Kang, smiled conceitedly and said,"It is indeed an ideal model, but don't forget the three conditions I mentioned!”
Lu Wan was also a smart person. She immediately understood the situation. Seeing that everyone else was confused, she patted her forehead and immediately pulled up the relevant information on the computer.
When everyone saw the theoretical staircase on the screen, they instantly understood.
He Kang went with the flow and pointed at the Penrose Steps on the screen, explaining,"Everyone, look. Zhu Rongzhi starts from here and then goes all the way down. He goes down two steps in a row and goes down one level! But…"
As he spoke, he used his hand to cover the two stairs that he had walked past, leaving only the remaining half of the stairs that led down."However, once we lose our vision and only see the nine steps in front of us, we won't be able to tell if we're going up or down in the complete darkness. Especially when we're in a state of nervousness!”
"In other words, the person behind the prank can completely influence or mislead us by controlling the light, unknowingly creating the illusion that we have been walking down! They can even control the stairs and forcefully control the stairs when we can't see them!”
"You mean, maybe Zhu Rongzhi has been walking around in circles on the second floor during this period of time?" Lu Guotao pondered.”
"That's right!"
This explanation was not perfect, but it was indeed possible. Compared to the appalling statement that abnormalities really existed in this world, it was easier to accept that the scp had prepared a prank behind the scenes.
Of course, there were also people who questioned it.
"Then how do you explain the child's crying?”
"Yeah ~"
When He Kang heard this, he revealed a smug smile as if everything was within his expectations."Since vision can be deceived, why can't hearing? What's more, if Zhu Rongzhi kept wandering between the two floors, the sound source did not even need to move. It would just be there. Anyway, Zhu Rongzhi's position did not change!”
Hearing this, everyone in the recording room came to a realization!
"F * ck! It really seems like it's possible?"
"Yes, I am!"
"Awesome, this has been explained clearly.”
"In that case, isn't this scp a group of psychopaths who are pretending to be mysterious? For no reason, he spent such a huge price to prank her.”
" That's right, that's right…"
Listening to everyone's discussion, Lu Guotao somehow felt that something seemed to have been overlooked by everyone.
Suddenly, a golden light flashed in his mind.
He remembered that something was wrong. Zhu Rongzhi was clearly in the fourth position. What was wrong with the three D-class people in front?
Unfortunately, his guess could not change the scene presented by the Three Lives Stone.
Although the audience in the live broadcast room had many voices of doubt, most of them were convinced by the 'truth' that He Kang had just announced.
At this moment, the live broadcast room was filled with joy.
"Phew, I was wondering if there really was such a thing, right? You scared me!"
"Who isn't? Especially when that old face appeared just now. I kept feeling as if it was looking at me through the screen, you know?”
"Hey, the more you talk, the more horrifying it gets. This scp is really good. He doesn't do good things but finds a group of death row prisoners to play a prank.”
"Phew, there's good news and bad news. The good news is that the scps are really a bunch of lunatics. The bad news is that we've all been fooled!”
In an instant, all kinds of curses sounded in the live broadcast room again, and they were even worse than the beginning!
However, whether it was the audience in the live broadcast room or Lu Guotao and the others in the recording room, they did not know that in a place where no one was paying attention, the search team sent by the Federation had already embarked on the road to the northeast to search.
What was even more unknown was that in a deserted town in the northeast, in the stairwell of an abandoned school building, the cries of children were weak, but they still lasted for a long time!
