The setting sun gradually disappeared under the winding curve of the blue ridge, and the bright color outside the office window was gradually blurred by gray. The wind blowing through the sycamore forest outside the window made faint rustling sounds.The sky is dark, in the old office building with gray walls and pointed eaves in the sycamore forest, only the third office on the left side of the second floor is still lit with white lights, like a lonely ship in the rough waves at night.

No one spoke in the office, five people surrounded the desk in a fan shape, Xiao Zhang, who was sitting on a chair and wearing a security uniform, was looking at his mobile phone, while the five people behind him were staring at the very monotonous black and white screen on the monitor with different expressions .

No one spoke, and the air was eerily quiet.

After listening to Director Wu's introduction, Yan Yitong felt that the black and white classroom on the monitor was a bit intrusive. Outside the dark glass window, it seemed that scary things would pop up at any time, such as a bloody palm print, a A rotten face, or a pair of black hole-like eyes like the pale-skinned child in "The Grudge"
Yan Yitong couldn't help getting closer to Cheng Mo, and quietly grabbed the sleeve of Cheng Mo's shirt with one hand.

Fu Yuanzhuo's expression was also a little nervous, and he couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Director Wu, no... Did something strange happen?"

"The strange thing is that nothing strange happened." Director Wu said in his full-bodied voice, and the terrifying atmosphere in the office disappeared immediately.

"You mean those paintings just appeared out of thin air?" Fu Yuanzhuo asked.

Director Wu nodded, "It can be understood in this way. My colleagues and I have studied it many times, and those paintings seem to have appeared out of thin air!"

Fu Yuanzhuo wasn't asking, and concentrated on watching the screen captured by the monitor, however.
But it was so boring that it made people doze off.

After watching the frozen picture for more than an hour, everyone except Cheng Mo and Shen Youyi was a little tired. Yan Yitong, who was a little scared at the beginning, was a little blurred and yawning with his mouth covered. If she was asleep, she might have already fallen asleep.

As for Fu Yuanzhuo, he looked at the motionless monitor with all his energy. At the beginning, he was very interested in hearing what Wu Yan said was so miraculous, but after watching the whole video, it was not the same thing at all. There was no movement in the classroom under the monitor until the east became white, and the server of the school monitoring system restarted, and the screen didn't even shake.

There is no scary background music, no white shadows floating over suddenly, and no hideous faces occupying the entire screen
This is why Fu Yuanzhuo even hoped for something scary to refresh his mind. Fu Yuanzhuo glanced at Cheng Mo, he was still as serious as the beginning.

At this time, the three videos have been half-dragged, half-fast-forwarded, and Wu Yong broke the silence and said with a serious expression: "Xiao Zhang, put the last one directly, and then drag it until five o'clock in the morning!".

Xiao Zhang, who was playing with his mobile phone, let out an "oh", put down his mobile phone, clicked on the last video numbered "2018619", and dragged the long progress bar to the end when it was about to end. At 59:[-], it is obvious that this video has been studied many times by people from the security department.

"This is the video on June 6th, the date when the mysterious chalk drawing was last seen in the classroom of Class One (19) last semester, plus the previous nine times, there are exactly ten times in total if you count the one you mentioned This time, it appeared in the classroom of Grade 9 (9) class on Monday, a total of eleven times." Director Wu quickly and clearly stated the number of times the chalk drawings appeared.

"Ah?" Shen Youyi was a little surprised, "I didn't see any chalk drawings this week!"

Cheng Mo stared at the monitor without moving, and said flatly, "I erased it."

Shen Youyi, who was beside Cheng Mo, turned his head to look at Cheng Mo's side face, his voice relaxed, and he smiled slightly: "So that's the case! Thank you, Cheng Mo"

"I happened to be on duty that day." Cheng Mo replied blankly.

Director Wu, who was standing by the window, also turned his head to look at Cheng Mo. He still had great hopes for this young man with unbelievable observation skills, so he asked, "Cheng Mo, after watching several videos, what do you observe?" Did something happen?"

At this time, everyone turned their attention to Cheng Mo, including the young man who was absent-mindedly playing with his mobile phone, and they all looked back at Cheng Mo, who was not astonishing.

Cheng Mo focused on the monitor, and silently shook his head as if he didn't care about Director Wu's question.

Director Wu sighed softly, and said to Xiao Chen, "Come on!"

It seemed that Director Wu was a little disappointed, so after this sigh, the atmosphere in the whole office became dull like the night outside the window.

When the outside of the classroom on the monitor turned pale, the picture finally appeared in color, but the color was not strong. Cheng Mo looked at the empty classroom and the empty blackboard, and then the video went black, and the video was restarted. When it was bright, the time in the upper right corner had reached 5:45, and the chalk drawing on the theme of Teacher Shen that he had seen before appeared on the blackboard.

"Do you want to see anything else?" Director Wu asked.

Cheng Mo said, "No need for now, Director Wu, I have a few questions I want to ask, can you help me answer them?"

"You ask." Director Wu said.

"Does the server of the school monitoring system shut down at 05:30 on time every day, and then restart after a quarter of an hour?"

Director Wu nodded, "Yes."

"So have you tried changing the time to restart the server to catch the perpetrator?" Cheng Mo asked.

"Of course I tried, because the other party only appeared on weekends, so several times on Monday mornings, we didn't restart the server, but we didn't take pictures of the other party. It seems that the calculation is accurate. As long as we don't close the server, he will not appear. Director Wu frowned.

"A hacker?" Fu Yuanzhuo said with a flash of inspiration.

"We had doubts like this before, but we invited professionals to investigate and found no problems. In addition, our monitoring system was not actually connected to the network, and we did not enter our computer room. We wanted to control our monitoring system. Impossible," Director Wu said.

"Isn't the solution to the problem very simple? As long as you don't restart the server in the early morning, or simply change the time and restart the server in the middle of the night every day, or even don't restart it every Monday, won't the other party not appear?" Fu Yuanzhuo said .

Director Wu shook his head and said, "That's not admitting defeat to the perpetrator? What's more, restarting is inevitable, and we can only change the restart time. We tried this. For a while, we restarted at [-]:[-] in the morning and it turned on one day. The surveillance saw chalk drawings appearing on the blackboard. In fact, it is not impossible for us not to restart the server every Monday, but can you guarantee that the other party will not change the time and change the time to let the chalk drawings appear every Tuesday?"

Fu Yuanzhuo was at a loss for words for a moment, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, hesitated and said: "This is obviously an insider's trick, right?"

"Don't talk about you, I thought the same at the time, so we launched a self-examination within our security department! However, all our security personnel have no time to commit crimes," Director Wu said.

Fu Yuanzhuo was puzzled, so he could only turn his head to look at Cheng Mo, "Cheng Mo, didn't you find any clues?"

Cheng Mo pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "I just find it very strange why the chalk drawing must be turned off to appear after the server!"

"Of course I'm afraid of being caught by surveillance cameras! I can only use these 15 minutes to get the drawing on the blackboard!" Fu Yuanzhuo said as a matter of course.

"But 15 minutes is definitely not enough for him to complete such a large chalk drawing," Cheng Mo said, frowning.

"This is the most amazing place. I invited someone who has learned to draw to try it out. It takes at least one to two hours to complete the work that the perpetrator has drawn. So I said that these chalk drawings appeared out of thin air. .”

"It's not completely helpless, right? For example, it was painted by several people!" Fu Yuanzhuo said.

"It's not impossible, but I don't think it will be a few people." Director Wu thought for a while and replied.

Cheng Mo shook his head, "It must have been done by one person. This thing is very interesting. It is similar to the secret room case in mystery novels. It's just that the content of the case changed from how the murderer killed the victim to how the perpetrator was in the secret room. finished painting."
