Dong Xie took a deep breath and looked at the movie screen in front of him attentively.
The nine residents kept their eyes wide open and their ears pricked up, never wanting to miss even a single detail.
Frankly speaking, they are all very glad that this is not a 3D movie. Otherwise, if they put on 3D glasses and see evil spirits rushing out of the screen at any time, it would really give them a heart attack.
On the movie screen, the camera gradually zoomed away from the car's windshield, and then gradually retreated, showing a distant view. The car driving on the muddy road in the suburbs in the heavy rain looked as big as an ant. At the same time, the screen
As the director's name appears, blood gradually emerges, forming the words "Earthbound Spirit".
Dong Xie swallowed his saliva, and then continued to lean back, even though he knew that this behavior was meaningless. This reminded him of the time when he had the courage to watch horror movies in order to write horror novels.
He chose the seat at the back of the movie theater and was teased by Ah Ning from time to time. At this time, he felt that if he could really survive this horror movie in the future, he would never be afraid of any horror movies again.
After the title of the film appeared, the car continued to drive slowly.
"OK! The ticket booking was successful!" Mu Aishan said after successfully booking the tickets using Taopiaopiao: "The cinema is less than one kilometer away. Let's go and see it."
"It's a small theater with only three screening rooms in total," said a long-haired woman in the back who was wearing headphones all the time: "Watching a horror movie at such a late night..."
Mu Aishan turned around and said with a smile: "Xiaosi, are you scared?"
"Hmph...what are you afraid of! I'm not afraid! Just watch it! Anyway, it's probably a hypnotic hallucination or something like that!"
"Well, it's possible." Xiao Zhi, who was driving, said, "So I'll give you an experience of watching a domestic horror movie. I walked out of the screening room ten minutes before the last ten minutes. At that time, I arranged for the evil spirits inside to suit the national conditions.
It’s time for identity.”
"That's so boring." A boy sitting in the back row who had been looking at his mobile phone said, "I just like to watch movies where evil spirits really exist!"
"What horror movies do you like?" Mu Aishan looked at the boy and asked, "Tell me about it. It can be from Asia, Europe or the United States. My personal favorite is "The Shining"."
"Isn't "The Shining" scary? I watched the tribute in "Ready Player One" last year and I deliberately dug it out and re-watched it... I still prefer James Wan's "The Conjuring" series and the spin-off "Annabelle"
", "The Nun". By the way, what is this "Earthbound Spirit" about?"
"Well, you can check it yourself!"
Not long after, the car stopped in front of the cinema.
This is a very small theater, and like the theater they are in, it is relatively remote. It seems that the film crew deliberately chose a small theater for the first wave of screenings as a gimmick.
At this time, outside the screening room.
Two staff members were yawning and sitting there.
"What kind of movie is this good? It's not from Hollywood, but it's so full."
"Isn't there a celebrity? It seems that fans have reserved the theater." At this time, the staff member looked at his phone and frowned, "Oh, Lao Bao said he was off work. Are we the only ones in the cinema?"
"Well, they run away pretty fast. It's quite a long drive from the city. It's two kilometers from here to the bus station."
"So, besides us, the projectionist Xiao Jia, and the two aunties who are responsible for cleaning, there is no one else in the theater, right?"
"Well, I guess so."
Suddenly, the two staff members discovered that the lights in the hall suddenly dimmed!
Only two seconds passed before the power was restored.
However, the two staff members were missing!
At this moment, if you go to the projection room to watch, you will find that the projector is still working well, but the projectionist... is also missing!
At this moment, except for the audience in Screening Hall 1, there is no one else in the cinema!
At this time, no one in the audience in the screening room realized what was happening.
"The weather in the movie... is quite similar to the outside." The boy in the couple next to Dong Xie said, "You think so?"
"Hmm...it's a bit of a coincidence."
At this time, Xiao Zhi and others entered the theater. The theater looked very old and the lobby was very small.
"Well, I'll go get the tickets, and you go buy some popcorn and Coke." Mu Aishan looked at a Taopiao ticket machine not far away and said.
"If you still eat popcorn so late, you won't be afraid of getting fat..." said the girl called Xiaosi.
"Tch, it's up to you to take care of it! Remember to buy me a super large portion!"
Xiao Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, I'll buy it. Do you all want to eat popcorn?"
"Whatever...you are the boss of our dormitory, I will listen to you." One of the boys said.
When Xiao Zhi went to buy popcorn, all the residents quickly discovered something.
The appearance of the popcorn bucket is exactly the same as that of the popcorn bucket in this theater! Dong Xie quickly looked at the girl eating popcorn next to him and carefully stared at the popcorn bucket in her hand. Yes, regardless of the pattern,
The words are all exactly the same!
I'm afraid this is another gimmick by the film crew? But, could it be a clue to a certain way out?
"One extra-large portion, three medium portions, one small portion...and another Coca-Cola..."
After Xiao Zhi bought the popcorn, Mu Aishan, who had taken the ticket, also came over.
"The show will start in 20 minutes, so just sit here for a while."
Afterwards, they found a place to sit down and looked at their watches.
"Second brother," Xiao Zhi looked at another boy and asked, "I heard that you resigned from your current job?"
"Yeah." The boy nodded and said, "I'm not very happy."
"Didn't you meet a girl there and get along well with her?"
"Well... now, it's not as good as before."
Another boy hurriedly said: "It's okay, second brother, there's no grass anywhere in the world! Graduation is about to happen, so just concentrate on preparing your thesis!"
"Lao San, you put it lightly. Your tutor is much better than me." The boy named Lao Er said distressedly: "I don't even know which thesis topic to choose. If I can't pass the thesis, I will
I have to stay in school for another year. You also know that I come from a rural area and want to work as soon as possible so that I can send more money back to my family."
"Um……"
As they talked, several boys started to pick up their mobile phones.
The movie screen showed a close-up of the mobile phone, while the second child was sending a WeChat message to Xiao Zhi: "Boss, let me tell you something. I was sitting next to Zhang Yuan just now and saw the content of the WeChat message she sent... It was very ambiguous, but the person she was chatting with was
It’s not the WeChat ID of her boyfriend from another school.”
"How many times have you peeked at her cell phone? Do you know her boyfriend's WeChat ID? Maybe she broke up and didn't tell you?"
"Huh, I think she's just a green tea guy. What's the point of pretending to be nice? You should also keep an eye on your girlfriend and don't let her cuckold you too."
"Stop talking nonsense! It won't happen!"
"Actually, I heard someone say that your girlfriend's current tutor is an old pervert. If a beautiful female student wants him to pass her graduation thesis, there is no guarantee that she won't have to make some 'sacrifice'... and there are many other people in the school who are pursuing her.
, many are local students, please pay attention!"
Hearing this, Xiao Zhi raised his head and took a look at Mu Aishan. Frankly speaking, his acting skills were pretty good. Dong Xie didn't know much about acting, so he thought his acting was okay.
Time passed quickly and the movie was about to start. Everyone checked in with their movie tickets.
There were very few people watching movies at this time, and there were less than twenty people in total in such a large screening room. They just found a seat and sat down. As a couple, Xiao Zhi and Mu Aishan were
Sitting together, the other three sat in another row.
The movie screen lit up, but the camera was completely focused on the protagonists and no screen appeared.
"Um..." Xiao Zhi turned to look at Mu Aishan and said, "Shall we get married directly after graduation?"
"Marriage... Why are you talking about this all of a sudden? At least I can find a job later. I will definitely stay in this city. My parents and your parents are always urging me to go back to my hometown to get married with you. Do you think so too?"
"No...you...just be happy..."
Mu Aishan grabbed a handful of popcorn and put it in her mouth. While chewing it, she said: "Now that you are about to graduate, have you decided on your career plan? Or should you continue to take the postgraduate entrance examination? You have better grades than me, maybe you can pass the exam.
.”
Xiao Zhi rubbed his hands, pursed his lips, and said, "I...I may not be able to find a job in this city. The financial pressure is too great..."
At this time, the dragon logo appeared on the movie screen within the movie screen, and the movie within the movie... began!
