Chapter 68: Bob the Clown
"Have you tried calling the police?" Chen Ge asked.
"I reported it to the police, but they couldn't find the company's registration number. It's not even a shell company, and the IP address is fake, like something a child would make up." Yue Pan rubbed his forehead, his face showing a hint of helplessness.
So these were the strange images Lin Xiaomei had been talking about.
Zhang Ze stared at the photo for a while. "You receive a death video roughly every two weeks. Judging from the time of your photo, you should have received a new video today."
"Yes, I always receive the video at 9 p.m., which is less than two hours away from 9 p.m."
Yue Pan expressed his opinion.
He wanted to ask Zhang Ze to investigate the company.
This is also related to some other videos he has watched, such as... lost media.
"Later, I came across the concept of lost media. I used some connections and resources to find lost media number 015. It was also a video. The video content was extremely bloody and violent. It explained in detail the process of a person being disassembled. I have watched some videos of murders by Mexican cartels, Brazilian drug traffickers, and Southeast Asian mafia. Never before has any video given me such a severe visual shock."
"Because of these things, I even spent a lot of money on psychological counseling. Doctors advised me not to continue investing in horror movies, but I am a fan of this genre, and my work is also related to horror movies. I can't give it up unless I want to starve."
"So... if you watched my previous live stream, why did the Mystery Tracking Studio's news page feature lost media?" Zhang Ze asked rhetorically.
Lost media, number 021.
It tells the story of Lin Xiaomei interviewing Dr. Gao, only to be trapped in a room.
Zhang Ze has a vivid memory of this video.
"I don't know either, that's the weirdest part."
"The Mystery Tracking Studio is a key investment project for me. I've invested tens of millions in it, and I oversee many aspects of it."
"At that time, I realized that the videos that the ghost story research company made for me might be related to the lost media, so I asked the mystery tracking studio to investigate it. The result was that... the lost media caused the disappearance of more than 100 people."
Lin Xiaomei suddenly slapped her forehead, "Oh right, now that you mention it, I remember."
"I was interviewing a woman whose son had disappeared after watching a video at school that appeared to be from a lost media outlet. She only had one son, and when I inquired about his whereabouts, she told me she didn't have a son at all!"
"This is absolutely absurd! Nobody wants to be a bereaved parent. That old woman actually said she never had a son, but her son is just missing, not that he never existed!"
Zhang Ze and Chen Ge exchanged a glance.
No wonder Yue Pan sought out Zhang Ze.
The existence of lost media has probably been around for a long time, starting several years ago. Yue Pan is one of the victims, frequently receiving videos of his own death.
The Ghost Stories Research Company mass-produced a large number of lost media within Hanjiang City, causing the deaths of countless people.
The police didn't even notice during this period.
This is enough to show just how terrifying it is.
"The fact that they can insert videos into your news websites without you even noticing proves that all your defenses are ineffective. If they really wanted to kill you, why wouldn't they just do it?" Zhang Ze pondered.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ge also realized the problem.
Since the ghost story research company has the ability to produce lost media and make people disappear, why does it only regularly feed Yue Pan various short videos?
They really wanted to kill Yue Pan.
Yue Pan should have disappeared long ago.
"I don't know either. I've considered many possibilities, but none of them make sense. I've also tried to resist, like that mockumentary being filmed outside."
Yue Pan pointed to the area outside the window.
A new clown actor is auditioning.
And an actor who specializes in playing night shift security guards, the two work together.
Maintaining an indifferent demeanor while the camera is pointed at you is a basic skill for actors.
"As friends who frequently commit murder know, it is easy to kill but difficult to dispose of the body. If the body is simply hidden, the smell will attract attention. If the time is too long, the victim's relatives and friends will call the police. The police can easily find the last place the victim was seen through surveillance and CCTV, and then dig up the body."
"There's a principle in criminal investigation called 'far-out, close-in.' Don't worry, Bob the Clown will show you how to easily and efficiently deal with a night shift security guard, making him die without anyone noticing within those crucial two hours!"
……
"This looks pretty bizarre. Does it have anything to do with mockumentaries?" Zhang Ze said.
"Because mockumentaries are just a smokescreen; Bob the Clown is a lost art form, you'll see when you watch it."
Zhang Ze's lips twitched.
He has watched countless videos during this period.
Anyone else in this situation would probably develop PTSD.
It's hard to stay rational when you're constantly appreciating this kind of stuff!
Chen Ge became interested and, for some reason, became somewhat excited. He even took the phone from Yue Pan, where there was a short video of a few minutes in the local storage.
"Um?"
The video has just started playing.
Chen Ge's dark pupils then transmitted a tactile sensation.
Not only Chen Ge, but Zhang Ze's Ghost Eye also felt a strange chill. What dirty thing was in this video? Perhaps the dirty thing didn't notice the people watching them; they were watching it on their own initiative.
Video playback.
Bubba the Clown's Stalking Talent Show
"Hey hehe, hello everyone."
"Welcome to Bob the Clown's Stalking Talent Show."
"Today, Babu will show you how to follow a female college student into her rented apartment, cook her a delicious and lavish meal, and all without the neighbors noticing!"
"First, you need to choose the freshest ingredients. Female college students are the most suitable material. You must choose someone who lives alone, likes to go out alone at night, and likes to drink alcohol. Those of you who have eaten Shaoxing wine-drunken chicken, are you already drooling?"
……
That's perverted.
After watching the video.
Chen Ge's face darkened. He didn't really want to remember the content of the video. He was a man who had experienced many ups and downs, such as the Fu'an Apartment massacre and the case of the body hidden in the well at Muyang Middle School, but none of these had the same impact on him as the clown Bubba.
In those cases, he had no idea that the murderer was committing a heinous crime; the overall tone was suspenseful and terrifying.
But Bubba the Clown's show looks like a reality show from the last century, except the theme has become murder, dismemberment, and even cooking. The key is that the whole process is broadcast, and the whole process is like processing a large dog, and he is making dog meat.
What chilled Chen Ge to the bone was...
As Bubba the Clown followed the victim, he kept explaining the key points and chattering away, trying to get attention. However, the victim was completely unaware of Bubba the Clown.
It's like a mockumentary.
However, the process of killing and dismembering is also involved.
Chen Ge was certain that no prop could be made so realistically; it was definitely not fake.
