"Kid, I'm talking to you! Didn't your mother teach you manners?" the man scolded relentlessly.

Cheng Shuang suddenly looked up, her peach blossom eyes filled with coldness. "Didn't your mother teach you not to talk to strangers?"

She deliberately lowered her voice, her soft, sweet voice tense, with a hint of hoarseness and maturity, inexplicably sinister and cold. The wisps of hair on her forehead hung down on her half-lowered face, covering her upper eyelids, giving her an even more unapproachable and gloomy feeling.

"Hey, you little rascal..."

"Anzi, stop causing trouble!" Another thin man shoved the thug-looking man, interrupting his provocative act of rolling up his sleeves. Seeing the man's defiant expression, he whispered, "You can't judge a book by its cover, especially here. Have you forgotten how Xintes died?"

"Apra, you're comparing him to me? Does he even deserve it? Who are you looking down on?!" The girl named Anzi immediately shifted her attention to her companion and was about to say something more indignant when Du Lanshan quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

“Brother Anzi, if you want to eat, I'll treat you, okay? It's fate that we met, let's celebrate our acquaintance. Look, we're about to go in, who knows what we might run into, keep a low profile, survival is the most important thing.” Du Lanshan lowered his voice for the last eight words to save face for Anzi.

Na Anzi clearly had a bullying mentality, picking on the weak and fearing the strong. Apra was thin, small, and unremarkable in appearance, but he spoke directly and rudely. However, when facing the Du brothers, he huffed and puffed twice, backing down a step, "Fine, I'll give you face. I don't want to eat it, I just want to tease that little brat!"

The Du brothers both frowned. Fortunately, Apra, who was looking down and didn't want to talk to his companion, didn't see it. Anzi, on the other hand, had no observation skills at all. Only the boy who had been silent turned his head slightly and glanced at Cheng Shuang, then at the Du brothers.

Fortunately, the Du brothers were not the type to show their emotions or lose their composure. They quickly regained their composure and did not let the boy notice anything amiss.

The romance movie was about to start, with plastic mannequins scattered around. By the time Cheng Shuang found her seat, the opening advertisements had already begun.

The young girl was surprised that there were ads and brainwashing during a movie in the realm of death. She was speechless while holding her popcorn. She took advantage of this time to look around and take in the interior structure of the theater.

Just like a movie theater in the real world, it has spacious and comfortable chairs with armrest recesses on both sides for placing drinks. The only thing that makes people feel out of place is that when the lights are dimmed, the skin of the plastic figures has a slightly white glow. Even with the buzzing and noisy conversations in the theater, it still looks incredibly fake.

To be honest, it's impossible not to be scared when surrounded by so many mannequins.

Cheng Shuangsuo turned her gaze away and fixed it on Uncle Du and his group not far away.

The three men sat in seats very close to the screen, the Du brothers were in the last two rows, and the little girl chose a middle row. The three seats were quite far apart. Seeing this, she had no hesitation in having Luo An deliver the snacks and drinks to the Du brothers, and told them the ticket seller's meaningful words.

Whether to eat or not, we'll have to decide based on the situation!

The movie begins with a beautiful piece of music, and slowly the credits roll, setting the stage for the entire film.

Cheng Shuang, clutching popcorn in one arm and a teddy bear in the other, remained on guard against any unexpected or bizarre events that might occur in the screening room. She was practically oblivious to the plot. The beautiful and wealthy female lead was quite attractive, while the supporting actress, dressed in shabby clothes, lacked the elegance and glamorous looks of the rich and beautiful lead, but she wasn't unattractive either, like a vibrant little white flower.

The plot is clichéd. It's about two girls who are best friends in college. The female lead comes from a wealthy family, while the female supporting character is an orphan. They both fall in love with the campus heartthrob, who is a year ahead of them. The story involves innocent and ambiguous feelings on campus, a chase, and the male lead ultimately choosing the rich, proud, and beautiful female lead. The female supporting character silently offers her blessings.

An extremely bland drama.

Time passed slowly. Cheng Shuang glanced at her phone. Half an hour had passed, and the little girl couldn't understand why nothing had happened... This thought flashed through her mind, but before she could put her phone down, the phone rang throughout the entire screening room.

The maintainer's phone has no signal in the Land of Death, so it's impossible for anyone to answer the call. There's no alarm set, so what good thing could happen if it rings now?

The little girl's eyes widened, her mind still blank, but she moved quickly, stuffing the phone back into the storage compartment. The ringtone faded away immediately, so fast that even the plastic figure watching the movie couldn't figure out where the sound came from.

Unfortunately, once it rings, it rings.

The sound of leather shoes clicking on the ground came from the doorway.

Cheng Shuang was closest to the door. She could hear footsteps approaching, followed by a flash of light and then two plastic figures.

Without moving her head, she glanced nervously and warily at the two ticket checkers who had entered earlier. They hovered on the corridor steps, flashlights illuminating their faces, creating an eerie and chilling effect.

The sound of footsteps, accompanied by the tragic laughter of the female protagonist in the film, creates a strange rhythm that strikes at the heart.

The female protagonist said, "Is this your reason for choosing her behind my back?"

The male protagonist looked pained. "No, I never intended to do this behind your back. We wanted to tell you!"

"Shut up!" The female protagonist's beautiful face was twisted with anger and jealousy. "My family's money has made you successful in your career, so what? As soon as you have confidence, you immediately turn around and go find true love! If you had told me earlier, why would I have dated and married you! Nine years, a full nine years, my youth, my feelings, can you bear it? Do you deserve it?"
