Ji Qingqian chewed on the crab legs that Lu Yibei had brought up from downstairs.
Since no staple food was served this time, the condiments weren't very salty soy sauce, but rather vinegar with ginger and a little sesame oil.
Lu Yibei, meanwhile, was watching his girlfriend fiddling with her phone.
"...Found it."
Ji Qingqian raised her eyebrows with delight: "No need to download any other software, A-B has it... and two of them!"
Lu Yibei sneered:
"No premium memberships available."
He was about to refuse, thinking it wasn't worth paying for a premium membership just to watch this movie...
Moreover, he knew that Qingqian, the female knight, was also not a member, just like him.
Ji Qing narrowed her eyes.
Lu Yibei shrugged:
"You know I'm always careful with my money... There's no need to buy a new membership just to watch a movie; the current memberships aren't cheap either..."
"You watch it without a membership?"
"I'll definitely watch it even without a membership..."
After saying half of what he had said so naturally, Lu Yibei realized something was amiss: "...What do you mean?"
"Congratulations, you got it right. You really don't need a membership."
Ji Qingqian, with her beautifully sculpted features, chuckled softly, "I'll send it to you~"
Lu Yibei: ...
Then a pop-up window appeared in WeChat. After clicking the link, it also launched ab.
What comes into view is...
The impression of "【Childhood Memory】The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village (2-part collection)".
That's quite a meager childhood memory!
Who has such childhood memories?
Grass!
And what's more, there's actually a sequel to this?
The subtitle of the second part is…
"The Demon of Lust"... Hmm, I feel like the second part will be more exciting... Bullshit, just looking at the cover makes it look creepy enough!
...Oh, you really don't need a membership!
Ah B, just how much do you want to take revenge on society? What kind of currency do you need to buy other movies after you've already subscribed to a membership?
So when it comes to horror movies, they're all free! Right?
You, B, have always been very virtuous when it comes to being immoral.
Lu Yibei's chest was full of deep thoughts, but when a thousand words reached his lips, they were reduced to only two bland words:
"Oh shit…"
"Want to see?"
Ji Qingqian blinked: "Abei, do you still remember the end of October..."
To be precise, it was October 31st.
This is what is known as Halloween.
Hangzhou is a city with a large number of "painful" cities, and its cosplay culture is quite popular.
Lu Yibei and Ji Qingqian had originally planned to go out for a walk on the 31st, but in the end they didn't go out.
Firstly, the two of them were quite tired from organizing the welcome party.
Secondly, it rained in Hangzhou on October 31st this year.
Ji Qingqian then said that she must organize a horror movie screening later to make up for the atmosphere of that day.
Lu Yibei was probably thinking something at the time... maybe he thought that once the weather cleared up, he could do it again, so he actually agreed to his girlfriend's request.
He had initially thought that Lady Qingqian had forgotten about this matter.
After all, a "movie screening" had already been held in the apartment before, but that was with Shunji Iwai...
But she never expected that she would put it in today's context.
"…ah."
Lu Yibei nodded. A man should keep his word.
Besides, he said it more than once.
…As I just said, I would watch it if I didn't have a membership.
All we can say is that Ah B is fully responsible!
"Then let's see?" Ji Qingqian asked.
In principle, this film has little to do with Halloween.
but…
"Are you scared?" Ji Qingqian asked again.
"should."
Lu Yibei tilted his head: "...It's alright."
"You've grown up, haven't you, Abei?" Ji Qing said with a slight smile.
Lu Yibei just smiled.
It can only be said that it is not him that has "grown," but rather the imaging technology.
Because he just discovered it.
Ah B is still Ah B... The clarity of the free upload is...
Great! It's 360p! We're saved!
So what if this ancient, pixelated image quality is terrifying?
At most, it'll just smear it all over your face.
"bring it on."
Lu Yibei projected it onto the Redmi TV.
On a huge television screen, it only makes the blurry even blurrier.
He was confident and bold.
The Village Corpse series…
Leaving aside the series, the first book, "The Story of Chu Renmei," is quite famous.
Even those who don't like horror movies have probably heard of it.
Lu Yibei didn't know much about it, but he had heard of it... well, it wasn't exactly hearsay, he had glanced at the movie twice.
At that time...
Let's say junior high.
He went to his friend's house, and his friend was watching.
Lu Yibei asked, "My good friend, what are you looking at?"
My friend replied, "The Village Corpse."
Lu Yibei: "Oh, 'The Village Teacher'..."
It tells the story of teaching in rural areas.
…Then, it's a hook eight.
Then he ran fast and only saw some scattered images.
…So it really is a childhood memory.
No, it's more like a "shadow" than a "memory".
The film begins.
First, the subtitles were released.
As the distorted captions appeared, the scene cut to a dripping faucet.
Lu Yibei breathed a sigh of relief.
Okay, that's the sense of security that 360p gives you.
He was very satisfied.
Ji Qingqian shifted her position and snuggled closer to Lu Yibei.
She leaned her head on her young son's shoulder and stared at the screen.
The boy's body wasn't as stiff as she had imagined.
"Aren't you afraid?" Ji Qingqian asked.
Lu Yibei calmly replied, "Just average.jpg, nothing special."
