Chapter 2 The Shadow on the Balcony
In addition to the laptop camera used in the living room, I have installed a camera in the large bedroom, small bedroom, kitchen and bathroom.
The camera where the jumping black shadow appeared was in the kitchen, but the black shadow was obviously not in the kitchen, but on the balcony.
Because the kitchen and the balcony are connected, there is a sliding glass door between them.
I attached the camera to the wall tiles of the kitchen. The lens not only captured the entire kitchen, but also a small part of the balcony through the glass door.
It was broad daylight now, so I couldn't say I was scared, but I was still a little nervous.
I think maybe the camera is not installed properly or is blocked by something. This has happened before.
As long as you walk into the kitchen, you can see the balcony. I opened the sliding door and stuck my head out to see. The balcony is not big and has been closed with glass windows. There is nothing on the balcony.
Turning back to the kitchen, I looked around the camera, and there was nothing blocking the camera.
Nothing?
Then why is there a black shadow?!
I had to remove the camera, wipe it, reinstall it, and immediately return to the living room.
When I looked at the monitor again, the monitoring screen had returned to normal.
I breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the sofa, and said to myself that it was a good thing that I had debugged it in advance, otherwise the customer would definitely be suspicious when he saw that black shadow.
Opening the suitcase, he took out a blanket from inside.
It's autumn now, it's not very cold, and a blanket is enough for sleeping at night.
Because it was a short-term trip, I didn’t bring a change of clothes. Except for some toiletries, the box was filled with food and mineral water.
By the way, I also brought a flashlight.
Sometimes, clients will ask to turn off all the lights in the room at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night and use a flashlight to shine under the bed...
Of course, there is no bed in this room, so maybe the flashlight won't work.
I took out my phone and checked the time. It's now 9:50. It's almost time. I'm ready to go online.
Although it is a live broadcast, not everyone can actually see it. Only those customers who are interested in buying a house and are pulled into the live broadcast room by the group owner of the real estate company can see my live broadcast throughout the day.
These people can see my every move in the house through five video screens, and can also make some requests to me.
From the second I went online, I started working normally.
Although it is said to be working time, there is actually nothing to do.
I leaned back on the sofa relaxedly, turned on my phone, and took a look.
On my phone was the video I had taken when I came in, so I opened it and took a look.
The video starts from the bathroom and goes to the kitchen. I didn't go to the balcony, but I still photographed the balcony through the glass window of the kitchen.
When the picture swept across the kitchen, I saw that there was indeed a dark shadow flashing from top to bottom on the balcony...
I was shocked!
but……
I didn't dare to show a surprised expression on my face. After all, I was under surveillance and many people could see my face.
If a client sees any strange movements or expressions on my part and refuses to buy the house, the real estate agent will definitely find an excuse to deduct my wages.
Thinking of this, I pretended to stretch, sit up straight, pick up my phone, and play the video again.
Sure enough, a dark shadow did cross the balcony, but I was walking towards the small bedroom and didn't notice it.
If the black shadow in the surveillance screen just now is because there is a problem with the kitchen camera, then it is impossible that there is also a problem with the camera on my mobile phone?
If the live broadcast is not synchronized now, I will definitely get up immediately and go to the balcony to check it carefully, but I can't do that now.
Why?
Because, I just went to the balcony right after the live broadcast started. My behavior was so strange. What would the customers think when they saw it?
But if I don't go and take a look, I'll be a little nervous. After all, this is not an ordinary room?
So, I opened WeChat and sent a text message to Jasmine: "Are you busy? I want to ask you something?"
Jasmine quickly replied to me: "I'm on my way back to the company. What, do you have anything going on over there?"
I asked Jasmine: "Can you tell me what happened to this house?"
Jasmine hesitated for more than ten seconds before replying to me: "Do your job well, and don't ask about things you shouldn't ask..."
I was anxious and didn't know whether I should tell her about the black shadow on the balcony?
In the end, I just asked her: "Did something happen on the balcony?!"
However, after I sent this WeChat message, Jasmine did not reply to me in time.
Waited for more than ten minutes...
I feel even more confused!
I always feel like something terrible is slowly approaching me on the other side of the balcony...
Maybe out of nervousness, I subconsciously took out a bottle of mineral water from my bag, unscrewed the cap and took a sip.
In fact, I wasn't thirsty at all, I just wanted to use an action to cover up the nervous look on my face.
Time seems to pass very slowly. If no one is looking at me, I will definitely call Jasmine directly.
At this time, my phone vibrated, and I thought it was Jasmine replying to me.
However, when I picked up my phone, I saw that it was not her, but Lao Chen who had sent me a WeChat message.
Lao Chen is the balding middle-aged man who interviewed me originally, and he is also the store manager of this real estate company.
Lao Chen sent me a WeChat message because he was also watching my live video today. Maybe my nervousness really showed on my face.
He asked me what happened?
I told Lao Chen that I just sent a message to Jasmine, but she didn’t reply to me.
Lao Chen said, maybe Jasmine has a client, but if she doesn't reply to you, why are you nervous?
Since Lao Chen asked this, I sent Lao Chen the video I took with my mobile phone when I entered the house, and asked him bluntly, the reason why this house is a haunted house, is the problem on the balcony?
Lao Chen was silent for a moment, probably watching the video.
However, Lao Chen didn't keep me waiting for too long. He directly sent me a smiley face and then replied to me in a very relaxed tone: "Haha, don't be nervous. The black shadow may just be a bird or a plastic bag that flew by. I'll follow you."
You promise, the problem is definitely not with the balcony, please don’t scare yourself, okay?”
After seeing Lao Chen's reply, I seemed to be less nervous.
Then, Lao Chen sent me another message: "You are at work now, do your own thing well, are you good at acting?"
I think what Lao Chen said makes sense. Maybe Jasmine’s client called her, and she was busy serving the client, so naturally she didn’t have time to reply to my message.
As for the dark shadow on the balcony, maybe it was just a bird that flew by, causing a false alarm.
So, I relaxed all over, continued to lean on the back of the sofa, searched for a comedy movie on my phone, and started watching it.
However, I watched it for less than five minutes...
There was a sudden click from the direction of the kitchen!
This house was so quiet. Suddenly there was a sound, which made all the hairs on my body stand up!
