"Operator, hello. If you are hearing this broadcast, it means the erosion has already begun, and we have started to be forgotten by the world."
"If the erosion goes too deep and c...
Chapter 364 The Toilet Paper of the Film and Television Industry
Ten minutes later, they entered the venue on time.
659 retrieved the clone that had been withdrawn to the void, tidied his clothes slightly, and said with great interest, "Alright, now no one can bother us. Let's begin our perfect date. We haven't seen a movie together yet."
He Yu glanced at the ticket, nodded, and said, "How novel, it's a Thai horror movie."
The cinema was located on the B2 level of the event center. The doorman who was in charge of showing them the way brought all the things that 659 had previously asked for, then led them to the door and left.
There was even an electronic sign outside the door that read, "No trash except for those in high positions allowed to enter"—not just one sentence, but the entire sign was covered with words, a clear warning, which was really in line with 659's style.
Outside the cinema, there were ridiculously high-level taboo objects, the lights were on, and the cheers had not stopped.
But inside, there wasn't a single person in sight, as if it were the set of a horror movie, and no one wanted to get close.
He Yu glanced at the terminal again; Yu Yu hadn't sent any new messages. He and 659 were both holding the limited-edition red wine the doorman had just brought from the main building. Besides the whole beef set meal, the doorman had even brought a bucket of popcorn—though the popcorn-making technique was clearly clumsy, as most of it was burnt. But 659 said it didn't matter; at least it smelled delicious. He'd never eaten popcorn before, but he could try it today.
They exchanged glances, then walked into the movie theater, casually found seats at the back, and set out red wine, a whole beef meal, and popcorn.
The lights went out at the right moment, and the movie began.
The opening scene shows a cluster of buildings that is almost identical to the No. 2 wave layer, only more desolate than the former.
A woman was singing in a high-pitched voice. He Yu listened for a while and realized that Pandora had sung this song before—he had heard part of it at a banquet in Jerusalem. However, there were professional subtitles explaining that this was a rare species found in the brain of a forbidden creature, originating from a space similar to the void, hence the special annotation.
The lyrics roughly mean that a man who has returned from hell is recounting how his relatives, compatriots, and he himself died defending their homeland, which has a strong sense of resistance. But you don't see much, because the fleeting images don't show any gruesome death scenes, only desolation, desolation—this empty world makes their story seem like a garbage dump.
The last line of the lyrics says that his body was thrown on the altar, and then the camera suddenly pans to a spot where you can't tell it's an altar at all.
The building was long abandoned. The scene first plunged into darkness, then suddenly revealed a large number of distorted objects—you had to look closely to discover that they were human corpses.
Many of the corpses had the words "Try again, and you'll succeed" carved on their surfaces. The remains of these people were controlled by a strange force, keeping them in the postures of their struggle before death.
The singing then faded away, and the scene fell into a long, deathly silence.
659 grabbed a handful of popcorn and fed it to He Yu, who gave a horrified look.
At this moment, the corpses in the middle suddenly swayed a few times, and then one of the female corpses suddenly sprang up.
Its face had faint, eerie writing on it, but it was too blurry to read the content.
It only moved slightly before the screen went dark again.
The darkness lasted for a long time.
After the opening scene ended, the moment that should have been when the title appeared was not; instead, there was only endless darkness.
While we were still in the car, 659 mentioned that this thing was a "shoddy work" created by the person behind it before they created their world. That bastard wanted to be a director, but because he was unskilled and had no talent, he produced a lot of "toilet paper" works in the film and television industry.
However, once he discovered he possessed the ability to warp reality, those trashy things became quite different. At least B-level and above operatives would suffer significant mental pollution while watching them. Furthermore, their playback would cause spatial fluctuations, and if you were unlucky, you might even encounter some ghostly thing that had crawled in from other cosmic networks.
He Yu did indeed sense something approaching the movie theater.
"Don't worry, everything is under my control."
659 drank several mouthfuls of wine without any pressure, praising 03's cooking skills as amazing. No wonder so many men with their dicks on their faces would pursue her so madly. The saying that you must first conquer a man's stomach to control him is indeed true.
He went on to explain.
"These are all normal phenomena. This film is top secret, capable of interfering with the authority of most of its kind. Some idiots will fall into multiple dream layers after watching it, finding themselves struggling to survive in countless movie worlds, and there have even been several suicides—but as far as I'm concerned... this movie isn't actually that sinister. In fact, many high-ranking beings watched it years ago and never heard of such a thing. It's only become exaggerated in the last few cosmic years—probably because the person behind it got angry that they couldn't destroy it, such as letting this thing gradually invade the worlds on both sides, or turning the things inside into reality."
"—But don't worry, because these erosions are completely useless against me."
659 soon realized how stupid his statement was.
Perhaps because of the intense battle between Dr. NNA and 05-001, coupled with their location at the core of Wave Layer 2, the spread of the infection this time was particularly severe.
