Chapter 551 Image Xiang Yuntian smiled and casually put his hand on Jiang Shuai's shoulder, saying warmly, "We're all good brothers, why be so formal? Besides, you're helping out voluntarily, how could we blame you? Just give it a try." "Okay!" Jiang Shuai replied, quickly pulling up a chair and sitting down, his fingers flying across the keyboard. His skillful typing even drew admiring glances from the editor. After a while, Jiang Shuai only managed to recover a thumbnail. "Let's zoom in on this image," Xiang Yuntian suggested. Jiang Shuai immediately did so, zooming in on the thumbnail, but the image became very blurry. "Why is it so blurry?" Xiang Yuntian asked, puzzled. Jiang Shuai explained, "It's normal for it to be blurry. But if you look closely, you can still vaguely see that a person wearing a black hoodie brought in the paper effigy. Look, these two dots over there are the paper effigy." "Amazing! We haven't even mentioned it's a paper effigy, and you can already tell!" Zhang Jie couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. Jiang Shuai laughed without any modesty, "That's right! Before I did programming, I taught myself graphic design. My eyes can see even a single pixel. Even if there are several sparse pixels, I can tell what pattern they form. Because the main trajectory here is just like that." The others didn't understand the technical aspects Jiang Shuai was talking about, so they didn't comment. After a while, Xiang Yuntian asked again, "Can you tell if this person is male or female from this picture?" "No." Jiang Shuai shook his head slightly, then asked the nurse next to him, "How tall is one floor here? Is it three meters?" "Four meters," the nurse replied. "Oh!" Jiang Shuai calculated using the pixels and said, "I estimate this person is only 1.65 meters tall." "Are you so sure?" Zhang Jie asked in surprise. Jiang Shuai nodded firmly and explained, "I'm absolutely sure! Thumbnails are generally not modified. If they were, they might as well just delete them; why go through all the trouble of retouching? Besides, this image clearly shows no signs of being retouched. So, based on the pixel count, I concluded that this person is 1.65 meters tall." Bai Mengfei nodded immediately after hearing this and commented, "In that case, we're one step closer to finding the murderer." "That's right!" Jiang Shuai smiled proudly, "Thanks to me!" After saying that, he was about to close the image. But just as the image shrunk, he discovered some more clues in those pixels. Jiang Shuai immediately reopened the photo, shaking his head repeatedly, his eyes focused and serious. Chapter thought he was acting strangely and asked with a wry smile, "Are you alright? Why are you dangling around like that?" Jiang Shuai frowned, remained silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head, saying with a deep gaze, "A master, definitely a master!" "What's wrong?" Xiang Yuntian asked疑惑地. Jiang Shuai said, "This guy really did edit this picture, and he even used the pixels of the picture to depict a character. To be precise, there are other characters hidden in this line of text. In other words, this person is not only a technical expert, but also very knowledgeable about some things related to human physiology... I don't know how to describe it!" "Some things?" Xiang Yuntian asked suspiciously. Jiang Shuai was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "It's about knowledge of human physiological functions. Anyway, he understands it very well and can combine this knowledge with his skills. He can make people see some hidden characters in an instant." "Then what characters did you see?" Bai Mengfei pressed. Jiang Shuai said solemnly, "Those who see the picture will die!" "Huh?" Bai Mengfei was startled and quickly looked up at Xiang Yuntian. Xiang Yuntian didn't believe it and shook his head, saying, "I don't believe in these things." "Don't be so skeptical!" Jiang Shuai suddenly turned around, looking at Xiang Yuntian with a serious expression. "When we were abroad, didn't you browse the forums? There's a legend circulating on horror forums!" Zhang Jie, hearing there was a story, immediately became interested and quickly asked, "What legend?" "It's said that once someone receives a picture and looks at it, they will encounter a series of terrifying events and then die." "Is it really that scary?" Zhang Jie laughed, his smile clearly revealing his doubt. "Believe it or not, I'm serious." After saying that, Jiang Shuai stood up, patted Xiang Yuntian's shoulder, then turned to look at Bai Mengfei and solemnly instructed, "Be careful, safety first!" "Wait, why don't you stay for a meal?" Zhao Fei said. Actually, Zhao Fei had a little plan in mind; he hoped Jiang Shuai could help at the police station. If the police station had someone like Jiang Shuai to assist, solving cases would definitely be much easier. However, Jiang Shuai left without looking back, as if he was running away from something. Bai Mengfei noticed Jiang Shuai's unusual behavior and said to Zhao Fei, "Captain Zhao, don't keep him here. He seems to have seen something terrifying; he's trying to run away with his tail between his legs." "It's strange, could it really be that evil?" Zhao Fei muttered. Xiang Yuntian, who knew a bit about the situation, shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. After all, there are so many similar rumors online, some true and some false. So, I still don't believe in these superstitious things." After saying that, he turned his head to see Bai Mengfei's attitude. He saw that Bai Mengfei also had a disdainful smile on her face. Zhao Fei, however, frowned, looking worried, and said anxiously, "What if it's true? That would be terrible!" "It can't be true!" Xiang Yuntian said confidently, "There's no such thing as a curse in this world." After saying that, Xiang Yuntian also left. Bai Mengfei was worried that something might really happen to Xiang Yuntian, so she secretly followed him. But Xiang Yuntian was preoccupied with his own thoughts and didn't notice Bai Mengfei following him. Bai Mengfei followed him outside and saw him sitting there playing on his phone. Out of curiosity, she approached and discovered he was looking up the rumor. She snatched his phone away. "Hey!" Xiang Yuntian didn't dare try to take it back and could only watch helplessly as Bai Mengfei browsed the rumor. After quickly scanning it, Bai Mengfei exclaimed in surprise, "Anyone who sees this picture will have to go through the 18 levels of hell?" Xiang Yuntian sighed helplessly, nodded slightly, and affirmed, "That's right! And a student at our school once jumped off a building after receiving this picture. That's why Jiang Shuai is so afraid of this picture; he knows about it and has experienced it himself." "So, it's true?" With that, Bai Mengfei returned the phone to Xiang Yuntian. ...
