Space, an objective form of material existence, belongs to the latitude theory and is a scientific title. Space, an intangible substance, broadly refers to the area where everything in the world exists, comes into contact or is seen.
The understanding and perception of space by humans and other living things mainly comes from their own five senses, especially vision and touch. Through what they see with their eyes and through physical contact, people can know where they are and perceive the existence of space, but in fact space is not what they imagine.
As simple as that, sometimes the space you perceive and contact will change from time to time. Strictly speaking, space cannot be explained, at least it cannot be reasonably explained by the current human ability. This is a latitude substance that is both real and vague.

Chie and Akiko left the video store.
Since they couldn't wait for the store manager to come back after waiting for a long time and it was getting late in the evening, the two had no choice but to leave with the video tapes they chose. Of course, before leaving, Akiko left the rental fee at the store cashier according to the previous market price.
After Qianhui and Akiko left, the store was completely deserted. It was still as empty and silent as before the two came in. This inconspicuous video store located on the edge of the street still did not attract the attention of anyone passing by. However, the two of them
The female high school student had only been gone for a few minutes when, before she knew it, something unimaginable happened.
As time passes, and as the sky gradually darkens, if you look from a distance... you will see that this video store has a faint sense of blur. In your field of vision, the store begins to become more and more blurry, and begins to be looming, and even
It became increasingly unclear, until a minute later... Under a hazy sway similar to the ripples of running water, the video store disappeared, inexplicably disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Disappeared without a trace, leaving only an empty street corner. It looked so natural, as if this place was originally like this, and the abrupt feeling of missing a storefront on the edge of the street was also
It never appeared, and the only things left behind were a few yen left on the ground after the store disappeared, and a few rental fees left by the female high school student when she left.
This unmanned video store just disappeared without a sound. What’s even weirder is that no matter whether it was before, during or even after it disappeared, no one passing by nearby paid attention to it, and no one looked at it.
Even with a single glance, it's as if the video store has never existed, as if it was just an open space on the corner from beginning to end...
………
Time gradually passes, the sun sets, and when the sun completely disappears under the horizon, night falls. For most busy Japanese people, the depressing day passes again. Company employees temporarily get away from work, and street vendors temporarily put aside their duties.
Account calculation, even public officials
Workers were also temporarily freed from the professional smile that lasted all day, and people showed tired faces. People fled from work, study, and returned home. Yes, the repressive society makes people overwhelmed, but the cruel reality is
And they can only endure it silently, maybe...
Perhaps at this time, only those students who have not yet entered the society and have not yet experienced the bitterness of society can gain real freedom and happiness during the holidays, even if this freedom and happiness are still temporary.
bite!
"Come on, cheers!"
"cheers!"
Gudu, Gudu...
At night, in a private house, this is a living room that is neither too big nor too small. The living room is brightly lit. On the tatami, Qianhui and Akiko clink glasses to each other to congratulate each other on the end of the exam and the coming of summer vacation. This is indeed worthy of congratulations.
, being able to get relief from exam pressure is essential for every high school student
It is a gratifying event for everyone. Currently, the two of them are kneeling in front of a short-legged table. On the table are the delicacies made by the two using various ingredients. Although they are not too big,
It's too rich, but it still has a wide variety of dishes. At least they include fish roll sushi, which is a favorite of both of them.
The two people who had clinked the glasses drank the beer in one gulp, then picked up their chopsticks and started eating. Akiko ate very happily. She had always been a carefree person, and she was in a good mood today. Although Qianhui opposite her was not as exaggerated as her friend, she was
It can still be seen from her smile that Qianhui is in a good mood. Similar to Akiko, the freedom of the two-month summer vacation has given this girl a good appetite.
The two of them were joking and chatting at the dinner table, occasionally discussing some private topics about girls. During this period, everything was normal and nothing happened. In addition, the sound insulation effect of the house was relatively good, so there was no need to worry about disturbing the neighbors next door.
After five dishes and three rounds of wine, it was already around 22:00 after dinner. The night began to become quiet. Most of the residents nearby had turned off the lights and went to sleep. Only Qianhui and Akiko had no intention of going back to the bedroom to rest. They cleaned up roughly.
Bowls and chopsticks, I know that I don’t have to get up early to go to school tomorrow.
Instead of washing up and going back to the room as usual, people were still sitting in the living room chatting with great interest. After chatting for a while, her eyes turned, and the slightly drunk Mingzi saw two things on the cabinet opposite. It was nothing else. They were passing by a certain house in the afternoon.
Video tapes rented from a weird unmanned video store.
Putting aside the weird video store for the moment, these two video tapes are nothing special. They are just movie videos. One of them has a cover of the comedy movie Qianhui chose, and the other one without a cover is Akiko's Curious.
Take it out from the store.
"By the way, we rented the video tape during the day."
Sure enough, as soon as she saw the video tape, Akiko, who had even forgotten about it while eating, immediately slapped her head and got up from the sofa, then walked to the cupboard and took two video tapes in her hands. Seeing her friend like this, Qianhui could not help but remember it.
In this matter, at the same time, because one of the two video tapes had no cover and the content was unknown, the subject
Driven by curiosity, Akiko was the first to give up the comedy, and instead took the black video tape to the TV and leaned over to start the home player. During the operation, Akiko did not forget to turn back to Qianhui with a mysterious smile and said: "Before, we
Aren’t you all curious about the content of this videotape? I think the answer will be revealed soon.”
Akiko's intention was obvious. Since she had already decided to stay up late to watch a movie tonight, Akiko would not give up her original plan after dinner. In addition, because of her inner curiosity, it was natural for her to play the black video tape first, but...
For some reason, Qianhui, who was in a good mood before, felt inexplicably nervous when she saw this black videotape again.
There is no reason, no reason, just like when I first saw this videotape in that unmanned video store in the afternoon, that indescribable feeling of uneasiness swept through my body again. At this moment, I was staring ahead, staring at the person who was about to turn my head.
When Akiko put the black videotape into the player, her uneasiness became stronger and stronger. Chie's drunkenness disappeared instantly and was replaced by nervousness.
A sense of nervousness for no reason!
"Akiko!"
Inexplicably, just when Akiko was about to push the videotape into the player, Qianhui frowned and instinctively called out to the other party.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Being called out by her friend so suddenly, Akiko, who wanted to take a look at the video as soon as possible, hesitated slightly. While asking, she looked back at the other party with a puzzled expression. She saw that Qianhui's face was a little strange. Although Akiko didn't know why, she seemed to suddenly understand in a moment.
He grinned like something and said: "Haha, I understand, Qianhui, are you worried that this is a horror movie? Okay, okay, so what if it's a horror movie? Qianhui, you can't be so timid, right? I remember before
You must not be like this."
"I……"
As mentioned before, this feeling of uneasiness came for no reason and even Qianhui couldn't explain it. Faced with Akiko's ridicule, Qianhui could only look embarrassed and shook her head and replied: "No, it's nothing, maybe I'm neurotic.
Bar."
"Hey, don't make excuses. I think you are just timid and don't dare to watch horror movies. Let's not talk about the content of this video. Even if it is a horror movie, I will definitely watch it. But to be honest, I am really curious about the content of this thing.
How about, let’s watch this first, and watch the comedy movie you chose later.”
Seeing that Qianhui was hesitating and unable to answer, she shrugged. Akiko laughed at the other party casually and continued her actions. She turned on the TV and pressed the start button to turn on the player. After being operated by the short-haired girl, soon,
This black video tape without a cover or any logo was just pushed into the player socket.
Click dong.
Hula, hula...
As the cassette was put in, the player made a low-pitched sound, and the player began to work. Out of curiosity, Akiko did not return to the sofa after completing the operation, but knelt down directly in front of the TV. Seeing her friend like this, Qianhui was probably affected.
I couldn't help but got up from the sofa and walked slowly to Akiko. For a while, the two girls sat in front of the TV, both looking at the TV screen, while the player below slowly read the cassette.
Bah, bah bah...
At this moment, except for the continuous chatter coming from the TV covered with snowflakes, the atmosphere in the room was extremely quiet for a while. Akiko didn't speak, Qianhui didn't speak, and the two of them stared at the TV screen that was only one meter apart in front of them. Akiko was very
common, waiting period
During this time, she had nothing but expectation and curiosity on her face, but Qianhui's face remained a little complicated. As the TV noise continued to sound, and as the screen snowflakes swayed one after another, the tall girl's face also changed.
He became more solemn and frowned slightly.
Subconsciously, I turned back to look out the window, and saw that the outside world was pitch black, with few stars in the sky, and the waning moon looming in the clouds. I bit my lip, shifted my gaze, and looked up at the clock on the wall. I found that the time had unknowingly reached 23 o'clock in the middle of the night.
55 minutes, I have observed the surroundings and confirmed that there is no abnormality, Qianhui
Only then turned their attention to the TV again, but what she and Akiko didn't know was... Although the environment remained the same, although everything was normal, during this seemingly short waiting period, during the silence, the atmosphere in the room gradually changed slightly.
, some subtle changes that will not be noticed by anyone.
Next, something happened that made the two people waiting in front of the TV more and more puzzled...
Although we all know that the player will read for a period of time when playing the video tape, and the TV used to show it will inevitably maintain snowflakes and noise for a period of time. However, after a few minutes passed, the TV in front of us still had a screen full of snowflakes.
, there are still the original snowflakes all over the screen and the endless murmur.
Bah, bah, bah bah...
"Huh?"
Akiko and Qianhui gradually became suspicious. There was a reason for this. It was obvious that after inserting the cassette, the player would normally read the video for a few dozen seconds at most before playing the video. However, after several minutes passed, why did the TV in front of them still remain blank?
Snowflake noise? Is it a problem with the TV or the player? Or is it a problem with the videotape itself? Is it possible that this videotape is really a damaged tape that cannot be played?
Yes, after waiting for a long time but still not seeing the video, both Akiko and Qiane immediately came up with the above speculation in their minds. In the end, they both thought that this black video tape without a cover was most likely a damaged tape.
Otherwise, how could it be possible that the video could not be played after a few minutes of reading time? Unless the player is broken, which of course is impossible. In this case, the only explanation is that there is something wrong with the tape itself and it is a waste tape that cannot be played.
Finally, after confirming that no image appeared on the TV screen for a long time, and using the remote control to debug a few times to no avail, Akiko first showed a disappointed expression, then sighed and muttered to Qianhui next to her: "Hey, it seems that you guessed it right before. This
The thing is indeed broken."
Let’s not talk about Akiko’s disappointment and unwillingness. When the video could not be played, Qianhui, who was already upset, took a long breath and felt a little lucky that the video could not be played. This was as indescribable and unexplainable as the inexplicable feeling of uneasiness.
However...
There is a saying that goes, surprises often come unexpectedly.
When! When! When...
Just when Akiko was about to reach out and take out the videotape after seeing that the playback was fruitless, just when Qianhui felt a little relieved, suddenly, the wall clock emitted a series of loud time chimes. The sound was so clear and harsh that it not only broke the silence of the room instantly, but also made Zheng Zheng concentrate on it.
The two women were startled. Following the sound, the two women instinctively looked at the clock. With the help of the light in the living room, they saw that the hour and minute hands on the clock were exactly at midnight.
At midnight, as the bell rang, time finally entered midnight from late night.
Barla!
呲呲呲……呲拉……
But at this moment, before the two women could take their eyes away from the clock, as soon as the bell disappeared, the TV in front of them, which was originally filled with noise and snowflakes, also changed slightly in a sudden way.
The reason why I use a little to describe it is because the TV has not changed much. It is nothing more than changing from a continuous chatter to another intermittent chatter. Even so, this change still inevitably caused the two of them to
Note that it is very simple, because this kind of intermittent sound is a unique sign that would appear just before the TV was about to play the video!
Sure enough, as soon as they noticed the change in the voice, both women immediately turned their eyes back to the TV screen. As expected, as the squeaking sound continued intermittently, they saw the screen originally full of snowflakes shaking.
Then the picture gradually appeared. At this moment, I thought it was a waste tape and just planned to take it away.
After taking it out, Akiko's face suddenly became happy, and she retracted her outstretched hand. Obviously, being able to play the picture undoubtedly meant that the video tape was not broken. The short-haired girl was happy that the video tape could still be played normally. Out of curiosity, she didn't think much about her.
He focused his attention on the screen and continued to wait.
Some people are happy and some are worried. If Mingzi is just curious, then when the bell rings and the TV screen plays the image, Qianhui's heart that had just relaxed started to rise again. There is still no reason.
There was no explanation. When the image appeared on the screen, she even had an inexplicable urge to reach out and turn off the TV.
It's a pity that she can't do this. After all, this feeling is for no reason and has no basis. Not to mention that if she does this, she will definitely be laughed at by Akiko, not to mention...
To be honest, she herself was actually full of curiosity about the content of this videotape.
(Forget it, let’s watch it first. After all, this is just a video tape, just a video tape.)
Finally, after some self-comfort in her mind, she bit her lip and suppressed her uneasiness. Qian Hui imitated Akiko and turned her gaze to the TV screen. She wanted to take a look and see what was in this video tape that had made her uneasy for a long time.
What are you wearing?
Unfortunately, things didn't work out as they wished. Although the two curious people stared at the TV screen for a long time, the image did appear on the TV screen. But the strange thing was that the image was not very clear, not clear, very unclear, even though the video tape was functioning normally.
However, there are still large snowflakes on the screen, and the field of view can only vaguely see some black and white intersecting blurry images from the snowflakes. It is not clear what the video scene is. I can only roughly guess by observing the outline of the image that this should be a forest, an unknown area.
Where is the woods located.
Bah, bah, bah... bah...
Seeing this, both Akiko and Qianhui inevitably had a lot of questions in their minds. Fortunately, the blurred picture did not last long. As time passed by, the two women, who were curious and patient, gradually discovered
The originally blurry picture on the screen began to become clear, the picture became clear, and the noise in the ears gradually disappeared. Very quickly, in just a few seconds, the screen that was originally full of snowflakes had transformed into a clear scene, and that was until this moment.
, the two of them finally saw the screen image clearly.
It is almost the same as the initial guess. If you look closely, you can see that the video scene is indeed a forest, a dark forest covered with dead branches and leaves. The reason why it is described as dark is because the sky above is already dark, which makes the whole scene somewhat under-lit. Look
It seems that the time in the video should be in the evening. Of course, these are the key points. Although what comes into view after the video is restored to clarity is a dim forest that is almost the same as the one guessed, there are also some differences, such as...
For example, after the picture is clear, there is still a well in the center of the video, a water well, a water well that is extremely ordinary no matter how you look at it.
There is a well in the woods, and at this moment, the well is in the middle of the woods, in the center of the entire picture.
