It is not easy for me to find that there is one person missing in the photos, because most of the photos are party photos taken at the campfire party, with many people and chaos. The reason I can find this is because in the stack of photos I saw before, Lan Ting had a large number of photos taken with another woman, but in this stack, there was not a single one.

"Why is that illustrator missing?" I asked, "Why is that guy?"

"Taotao."

"Yes, why did she disappear? She quit midway?" I asked looking at her. I felt a bad feeling in my heart, thinking that something was wrong with someone on their journey. But she was smiling brightly in the photos. If something happened to her best friend, she could still laugh like this, I would reconsider her personality.

Lan Ting bit her lower lip, but said, "She didn't leave, she was in our team."

I looked at the photos and made an incomprehensible gesture.

Lan Ting said: "Or, to be more accurate, she is in these photos."

I continued to look at her, "There is no her here."

"With her, she is in most photos. She is a person who likes to take photos. When I took these photos, I used her as the focus several times."

I suddenly understood what she wanted to express, but I couldn't believe it, so I looked at her and waited for her to continue talking.

She continued: "But after I washed out these photos, I found that she didn't appear on the photos, and even those photos I definitely took for her were not."

I took a breath and looked at the photos. The first thing I thought about was not that this might be impossible, but whether she was playing with me. I often heard that the authors who wrote suspense novels would make themselves nervous. Could it be that Lan Ting had already been rushing to the point of breaking up the manuscript and could not distinguish between reality and fantasy?

But I looked into her eyes and couldn't see any confusion.

"Can you get it wrong? Your friend deliberately avoided the camera? I have read a novel before. One of the friends of a person disappeared. When he wanted to find a photo of that friend to do a missing person notice, he found that the person never left a positive image. In all the photos, the friend deliberately avoided or showed his side face." I said, and I could only try to convince myself that this is true first and avoid the urge to leave. "In the end, they found that the friend was actually an agent, and had received this kind of training to avoid shooting."

"I wrote that novel." Lan Ting looked at me. "That's just a novel, and it's not enough to just face it. It's quite difficult for you to completely avoid all the shots."

"But..." Lan Ting suddenly made a gesture: "Lao Guan, I know you don't believe it. I'm talking about this to you, and I don't want you to believe it. I just want to ask you, under what circumstances will this phenomenon occur in photography."

What I wanted to say was when I was hungry, but I still held back. I thought about it and forgot it, so I will accompany you to the end, and said seriously: "Is your friend normal? Can you see her?"

"Of course." She nodded, "Otherwise I'll go crazy first."

I said: "Theoretically, the camera's photography reason is the imaging of the human eye. Therefore, what the human eye can see should be taken with the camera. The human image generation method is because the light shines on the human body and then reflected into the photosensitive device. To make a person unable to see in the photo, the reflection on the person's body must be individually prevented from being exposed on the photo."

Her eyes lit up: "That is, it's possible?"

I shook my head slightly: "Some special lenses can do this, for example, for a while, the Ts camera was very popular, but this lens is unlikely to penetrate the human body, because penetrating clothes only penetrates a layer of simple cotton fabric. The human body is very complicated, including bones, skin, fat, and muscles. If you can penetrate these things, then the background, books, chairs, sand and other things behind the person can also penetrate, and nothing can be taken, let alone the lens is indistinguishable. If your friends can't take it, no one can't take it." I said to her firmly: "So, the phenomenon you mentioned is impossible to hold in physics."

Her eyes dimmed and she sighed, but she didn't show too much disappointment.

I continued: "These photos look very normal, without any problem, I don't think it's possible that someone will be tampered with.

If you insist on saying that there is a person who should have existed above, it will be even more incredible if you can only explain it with spiritual science, so this matter can only be said to be your mistake."

She shook her head and took a sip of tea ceremony: "There is really no possibility of achieving this effect, even if it is very complicated?"

I shook my head: "You must have made it wrong."

She smiled bitterly: "I also hope I made a mistake, but this was something I experienced personally, and it was not something you could deceive myself if you said you made a mistake."

I looked into her eyes and suddenly became a little angry, feeling that this must be a kind of teasing. No matter how serious her eyes were, it must be a kind of teasing. She must have found someone who seemed to be the easiest to succeed among us to do this prank.

Jin Yong once said that the more beautiful a woman is, the more she will be able to lie. When I was a sensitive person, I was simple because of my sensitivity. Therefore, I was often teased by this kind of teasing when I was studying, so I thought I could immediately see through this lie, but I didn’t expect that I would still be fooled after I became an adult.

I looked at her, trying to suppress my anger, thinking about what to do and what should I do to get rid of this matter.

Lan Ting continued, "Teacher Guan, don't think about it. Just think of me as a joke, but I hope you can do me a favor. Can you help me contact your friends? I want to go to Badain Jilin again."

I frowned, "Go again?"

Waiting for a group of hikers, you just said that you have a very good relationship there. I think you can introduce a few reliable people to take me in. I want to go back to Gutongjing and climb onto this stone to see what is on it, so that this kind of problem can be caused by the Taotao?"

"I have to think about this." I was very unreliable. She wanted to go into the desert again, and seemed to want to go in and out quickly. For such an inexplicable thing, she was solemnly asking me for help, which was a little problem. I hesitated for a moment and mustered up the courage and said, "Miss Lan, I think you'd better go see a psychiatrist. Long-term writing will lead to malfunctions of judgment. I have experienced this process. I think you're a little obsessed."

I hope she can get angry, be able to slap me or splash coffee on my face, so that at least our conversation can end.

But Lan Ting sighed, as if he had lost interest in talking to me all of a sudden, and his face was a little pale. I looked at her picking up the photos, and then said in a very light voice: "Thank you, Teacher Guan, I'm sorry for delaying your time." As he said that, he was about to get up and leave.

I suddenly felt a little worried and asked, "Do I need to send you back?"

She shook her head, as if her mind was no longer with me. I thought about it and asked, "Yes, why don't you just ask what she saw? Why do you need to go into the desert again?" Lan Ting walked out of the teahouse without looking back and said, "It's impossible."
