I can rewind time to prevent death

Chapter 153 Mountain Park No. 2

Before long, Yan Junze had negotiated with the Li Family, Zhao Family, and Lin Family. Apart from the young Lin Hong who had to go back and consult with his family, the other two families agreed on the spot.

Later that evening, Yan Junze came over to install cameras at home.

Upon leaving the Spectacular Courtyard, Yan Junze immediately called Bao Jie, briefly explained the situation at her aunt's place, and then asked to borrow a few more pieces of recording equipment.

Whether portable cameras or webcams, as long as they could record video, he wanted to borrow them.

Bao Jie normally enjoyed tinkering with these things, and to her credit, she was indeed able to lend out five devices. Regardless of their size, model, or resolution, as long as they worked, Yan Junze didn't care.

Together with his own camera and one webcam, he had nearly enough equipment.

Of course, he did not reveal the true supernatural occurrences he had discovered to Bao Jie, merely explaining them as a Possession Spirit.

Everyone knew about Possession Spirits. Previously, Teacher Zhang Tiantian from the school had been possessed by one, and now she was said to be living in a Rehabilitation Hospital, showing some improvement, though it was uncertain when she could be discharged.

The primary purpose of collecting footage of the strange occurrences at the other three families' homes was twofold. First, to ascertain whether their experiences were similar to Bao Yunjing's, as this involved the "Tricky Silk" mentioned in the task.

If the strangenesses differed, he would need to formulate a new plan.

Using recording equipment for filming could gather information quickly. If he went to experience each family's situation in person, it would not only take too much time, but also risk causing additional trouble. A prolonged delay could even endanger the lives of these families.

The second purpose was to process and edit the videos before uploading them to a video platform. He believed that with the professional team from Tang Zhengyi's end handling the production and editing, these videos of roughly similar encounters would make for intriguing and thrilling short clips.

Yan Junze still remembered a horror movie from his previous life, where a family's house was haunted. The homeowner had bought a DV camera to record in the bedroom at night, capturing a series of terrifying scenes.

The authenticity of those images made the film a box office success, yielding a huge profit for the investors.

Of course, that was a movie, while his current footage was real, and being a series of shorts, he believed the effect after editing would undoubtedly be even better.

That evening, armed with the recording equipment, Yan Junze visited the Li Family, Zhao Family, and Lin Family successively.

Old Master Li from the Li Family even went to Bao Yunjing's home to verify Yan Junze's claims, and after confirming the truth, he promptly gave Yan Junze a deposit of ten thousand yuan.

Once the installation and testing were complete with no issues, Yan Junze also warned the members of the three households not to tamper with the installed equipment. He would return first thing the next morning to collect the footage, and then take care of their troubles.

Afterward, Yan Junze obtained the address of Mountain Park from Bao Yunjing and headed to Spectacular Courtyard's No. 2 leisure Mountain Park.

This Mountain Park, situated near the Garden Villa area, covered a large area. The developers had transformed an original small hill into a park, and at its base was a large plaza fitted with various exercise equipment.

When Yan Junze arrived to scout the location, the plaza was bustling with people. In such affluent living spaces, any strangeness would usually be resolved quickly.

Thus, the residents had little to worry about.

What they did not know was that beneath the Mountain Park, a highly mysterious and terrifying entity was hidden in an Underground Space.

What exactly an Underground Space was, Yan Junze was also not too clear. By literal definition, it should be an individual space created below or inside the small hill when the park was built.

Or perhaps the hill was originally hollow, and the interior might have been repurposed to construct an Underground Space to store miscellaneous items.

Yan Junze circled the Mountain Park and found a closed iron gate at the foot of the hill on the opposite side of the plaza.

This iron gate resembled an old school gate but was sealed, hiding its interior from view. A warning sign was posted on the outside: No Trespassing.

If we're talking about an underground space, this place might be the most similar to the one under Mountain Park.

Unfortunately, because the area outside the door is rather spacious and flat, it has already been occupied by a group of elderly men and women spinning tops.

There were at least a dozen huge tops spinning on the ground, humming and whistling, and Yan Junze even saw an old man in a vest and shorts, wielding a whip in each hand, simultaneously lashing two giant tops, truly impressive.

He turned around and left.

With such a group of old men and women here, it would be virtually impossible to come by during the day to pick up tasks, only at night when no one's around.

Moreover, the weather was good today, and there was likely to be moonlight tonight, and since the video shooting was still ongoing, Yan Junze decided not to act this evening.

When he got home, he threw the money in two envelopes to his mother, Li Man, "Mom, this is what I just earned. This time, we really don't have to worry about the college tuition; you can keep the money you've saved up for something you like."

"Son, did you shoot another video?" Yan Daguo's eyes lit up as he approached.

"Yeah," Yan Junze nodded, "This time the video was easy to shoot, and it's a series of videos. I expect the earnings to be sky-high, so brace yourselves."

To alleviate his parents' concerns, when it came to making money from video shooting, he was always vague and planned to include the compensation from the four families in the video fees as well.

That night, the Yan couple was extremely excited; they hadn't expected their son to be so adept at this line of work, and it seemed to them it wasn't as dangerous as they had imagined.

Having hardly slept the night before at Bao Yunjing's house, Yan Junze climbed into bed early and had a good night's sleep.

The next day, he immediately hurried to Spectacular Courtyard, visiting the Li Family, Zhao Family, and Lin Family in succession.

He didn't immediately take the videos away but sat in each of their homes, reviewed the footage, found that all had captured strange occurrences, and then took the equipment with him.

Back at home, he copied all the videos into his computer, did a rough edit for each family to keep them separate, and made sure they wouldn't get mixed up.

Upon careful observation, the strangenesses encountered by these three families were basically no different from those at Bao Yunjing's house. If they were affected by Tricky Silk, the effects should be the same.

Then Yan Junze gave Tang Zhengyi a call, making it clear that all faces in the videos had to be concealed, and some of the valuable room furnishings needed to be blurred. As the other side was waiting to receive the videos, he transmitted them, leaving the professional team at the platform to handle the production.

Of course, he would need to watch the sample pieces first and approve them before they could be uploaded to the platform.

Tang Zhengyi valued this series of videos greatly because such videos were rare. He stated that he would personally oversee the editing to ensure the most true, most bizarre, most terrifying effects.

When someone gets serious, the speed can be strangely fast.

By the afternoon, the video was produced and reviewed by Tang Zhengyi, then passed on to Yan Junze.

Yan Junze watched it twice, pointed out a few areas that needed to be modified, and after showing it to Bao Yunjing, he agreed to upload it to the platform.

He had planned to start his task that day, completing the four sub-tasks, but to his surprise, the weather had been good for several days in a row, with bright moonlight every night.

At this time, he didn't dare to go out to execute the task at random, since the main task was "Terrified (Medium)," and it was best not to encounter other dangers while carrying out its branches.

If the moonlight was bright at a critical moment and Fang Ning suddenly appeared to interfere, it could become the last straw that broke him.

So Yan Junze kept his patience and held back.

Although he hadn't been able to go out to execute the task, there was suddenly big news from the video platform.
