Chapter 278 The Midnight Bell
[“When the shelter received reports about the mysterious virus killing people, they preconceived that the new containment objects were unknown viruses, so they immediately investigated the dead bodies and indeed discovered a very strange virus.”]

[“This virus can block arteries and cause heart attacks, and many victims die this way. However, when we studied this virus, we found that the knowledge of viruses known to humans could not analyze this strange virus, and no drug could eliminate this virus.”]

[“As the research deepens, more questions arise. First, where did the virus come from? The dead came from all walks of life and had no relationship with each other. It was impossible for them to infect each other. So how did they get the virus?”]

[“The containment committee has sent a large number of people to investigate the places they had been in contact with before they died, and even used the Locard material exchange principle to investigate, but they were unable to find the virus anywhere other than the corpse.”]

[“This puzzled many people. It was impossible for the virus to appear out of thin air. However, the appearance of a videotape made no one expect that the virus was actually related to the videotape.”]

[“According to the investigation, these deceased people had watched the cursed videotape in the urban legend seven days before their death. It is said that as long as they watch this videotape, they will die seven days later.”]

[“As a group that deals with countless strange events, the Containment Society will naturally not let go of any urban legends, so they began to conduct relevant experiments.”]

"They took the tape to a research facility, put a death row inmate on death row, and had him watch the tape."

When he said this, the screen switched to a high-definition TV.

[“In a laboratory, a prisoner was asked to watch a videotape inside.”]

[When the video tape began to play, a picture appeared on the TV screen. First, there was a full moon with dark clouds passing by. Then the picture switched to a mirror. Through the mirror, a woman could be seen combing her hair. But the strange thing was that judging from the distance of the reflection in the mirror, there should be a woman combing her hair in front, but judging from the picture, there was no one in front of the mirror.]

[“Then, in the next two seconds, the mirror strangely switched its position on the wall. It suddenly appeared on the right side, and the next second it appeared on the left side. Then the woman seemed to see something and turned her head. ”]

[However, the scene then switched to a bunch of meaningless words of varying sizes, which gave people a headache just by looking at them. Then the scene switched again to a few people curled up and squirmed on the ground for some unknown reason, as if they were imitating the walking of some insects. It felt very strange just to watch.]

[“Then the scene changed to a beach, with a person in a white dress standing on a rock, with a white headscarf on her head, and her right hand pointing to the left for some reason,”]

[“Then the scene switches again to a bird blinking, and it’s close up, so you can see the details of the bird’s eye clearly.”]

[“After watching the bird blink countless times, the picture changed again and turned into an ancient well. The picture of the ancient well lasted for a while, and then the picture began to turn white. I thought the video would end here, but after a while, it changed immediately. It was still the ancient well, but a woman in a white dress with black hair covering her face crawled out of the well.”]

[“Then there was another burst of snow. When the snow passed, the woman had already climbed out of the well and was slowly walking towards the camera.”]

[“Crash!”]

[“Every time a woman walks over, the screen will be snowy. After the snow stops, the woman will get closer and closer to the camera.”]

【“The last frame freezes with the woman very close to the camera, and the content of the tape ends here.”】Strange: “What is the meaning of this tape? What is its connection with this unknown virus and Sadako?”

Robin: "Isn't this talking about ghosts? Why do technological words like virus and videotape appear?"

Nick Fury: "We'll know once we see what's going on. It's definitely not that simple."

Nobita: "I really don't dare to watch any further. I'm so scared."

Doraemon: "Nobita, cheer up!"

The screen continues at this time.

[“Hey, what do you mean by this? As long as I watch this videotape and stay here for seven days, I can be acquitted. This is really a good deal!”]

[“The person conducting this experiment is a death row inmate. The asylum committee promised that if he cooperates with the experiment, he will be free and exempt from all legal punishment.”]

[“At first, the death row inmate thought it was something very troublesome, like an experiment in a science fiction movie, but it turned out to be so simple that he had to whistle contentedly.”]

[“The researchers at the shelter didn’t pay attention to this. They just asked the death row prisoners to stay in the laboratory as required and wait for seven days to pass to see what would happen.”]

[“During these seven days, researchers and security personnel provided all-round security protection for the prisoner, including physical and mental examinations, as well as inspections of any items that came into contact with the prisoner, to ensure that there was nothing wrong with the prisoner. However, despite doing so much, strange anomalies still occurred.”]

[“In the picture, the death row inmate was lying on the ground in great pain, his whole body twitching continuously. Many medical staff gathered around him to try to save him, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not stop the death row inmate from dying.”]

[“According to the results, the death row inmate was infected with the same virus as those who died, which caused his arteries to become blocked and led to his death from a heart attack.”]

[“But the strange thing is that the death row inmate had been examined more than ten minutes before he fell ill and was found to be in very good health. He did not have any virus at all, not even a common cold or fever. So why did he suddenly die of this strange virus more than ten minutes later?”]

[“This is undoubtedly a huge mystery that hangs over all researchers, and then they all focus on this rumored, cursed videotape.”]

[“So the researchers continued to arrange more death row prisoners to watch the videotape, and in order to make a distinction, they also divided them into two groups to watch it.”]

[“In one group, five death row inmates watched the video together, and in another group, five death row inmates took turns watching it. The reason for this is that according to urban rumors, passing the videotape to the next person to watch will transfer the death curse.”]
