In the dim movie screen, a headless ghost holds his head and slowly crawls towards the screen.
"Oh shit! It's coming out!"
Guo Guo pushed the table aside and quickly rushed over to Tang Xin Jue's side, pointing at the movie and trembling, "A must-have for horror movies! It's bound to crawl out and kill us! God Jue! Quick! Toilet plunger!"
"Guo Guo, what are you shouting?"
Hearing the scream, Zhang You and Zheng Wanqing turned around with puzzled expressions.
Guo Guo slapped his thigh and said, "A horror movie! You guys are watching it on the computer... Hey, why don't you have it on your computer?"
Looking closely, there was no headless ghost on Zhang You's or Zheng Wanqing's computer screens. On Zhang You's screen, an old woman was chopping minced meat, while on Zheng Wanqing's computer, there was a classroom with students all studying with their heads down.
Only the movie that Tang Xinjue and Guo Guo were playing was the same. As the headless ghost crawled closer and closer, the smile on the skull's face grew wider and wider. The camera suddenly turned to several trembling boys and girls.
Four boys and girls, about seventeen or eighteen years old, were leaning against a huge glass window. A headless ghost was gradually approaching them, and dark red blood was spreading on the ground.
Tang Xin Jue held the mouse and moved it to the bottom of the screen, only to find that there was no progress bar to move, nor could it be paused, only a close option.
[Do you want to close this movie? Your browsing progress will be reset after exiting.]
I chose no, and the scene continued. The young man and girl screamed heartbreakingly, without uttering a single meaningful line. The camera was also very simple, with only a bird's-eye view.
Rather than a movie, it looks more like a videotape or a live broadcast?
Tang Xin Jue used [Identify] on the image:
[A classic movie, the effects are authentic and original, everyone who has seen it praises it.]
Guo Guo didn't dare go back to his side to watch it alone, so the other two came over with their computers, and the four images were played together at the same time, which dispelled the weird feeling and made it look a bit weird.
Open the APP, and the exam requirements will pop up:
"There are eight films in this exam. Please choose at least four to watch."
"Once you've watched 100% of the movie, you'll be asked to answer a question. If you answer correctly, you can write your review on the spot. If you answer incorrectly, you'll have to watch the movie again."
"Exam pass requirements: Each dormitory must complete four or more film reviews."
Seeing that the exam rules were clear and there was no concealment or hesitation, everyone subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Having been psychologically traumatized by the difficulty of the last A-level exam, now that I’ve entered the C-level exam room, I actually have a kind of... inexplicable sense of security?
Tang Xin Jue reminded: "Don't take it lightly no matter what."
A-level players may not necessarily be wiped out, and C-level players may not necessarily survive.
Once you enter the dungeon, you can only try your best to strive for the highest possibility of survival.
After carefully reading the exam rules, Tang Xinjue clicked close on the screen, and the screen immediately returned to a folder.
There are eight movie videos in the folder, named respectively: "Headless Ghost Story 1", "Headless Ghost Story 2", "Death Record of Class 3-1", "Ghost in the Dormitory", "Ghost in the Mirror", "Village Evil Spirit 1", "Village Evil Spirit 2", and "Don't Open the Door at Midnight".
...It doesn't look like a classic, it looks like a bad movie.
Tang Xinjue looked at them one by one. When the exam just started, the four people's computers were playing: she and Guo Guo were watching "Headless Ghost Story 1", Zheng Wanqing was watching "Death Record of Class 3-1", and Zhang You was watching "Village Evil Spirit 1".
Zhang You asked, "Does each of us have to watch all four films, or do we have to watch all four films in total?"
Tang Xin Jue: "Since we're based on dormitories, we just need to watch four movies in total. And there's no time limit for this exam."
There is no time limit, which means that the main danger comes from film appreciation itself.
"Of course, restrictions still exist." Tang Xin Jue added, "When the movie progress bar reaches 100%, the viewing test will begin, and it cannot be paused. In other words, we must be prepared before the test begins."
In short, you should never rush to watch a movie - who knows if the killing conditions will be triggered?
Guo Guo's hand trembled, and he turned off his computer: "Then it would be better if the four of us watched it together!"
Answering the questions with four people together is not only safer, but also has a higher accuracy rate, so we decided on it immediately.
Given that the beginning of "Headless Tales" had been slightly more damaging to Guo Guo, the group decided to start by examining the remaining six, one by one. If they felt something was wrong, they would close it, and finally select the easiest one for the subsequent examination. Although this method took longer, it was more cautious.
Before making a choice, Guo Guo stopped him: "Wait!"
She pulled out a red teardrop pendant from under her neck, held it in her hand, and scanned the screen one by one.
At this time, she used the item "Eye of Premonition" that she had exchanged for a huge sum of 30 points yesterday, and combined it with her own perception, she could use it to judge good and bad luck.
Soon, Guo Guo exclaimed, pointing to a movie: "You can't watch this!"
She was referring to "Don't Open the Door at Midnight".
If the pendant is hot, it means bad luck.
"That leaves only... five."
Tang Xin Jue spoke softly and calmly, "It's okay, we'll take a look at them one by one."
After selecting the order, the computer started playing from "Death Record of Class 3-1".
The movie began with a simple title, white text on a black background, with red blood slowly dripping from between the words. Then, the scene transformed into the one Zheng Wanqing had just witnessed:
An ordinary high school classroom, with more than 40 students studying, looks a bit like a surveillance camera from the angle of the camera.
Five minutes later, the students were still studying quietly.
Fifteen minutes later, still studying.
Thirty minutes later, Zheng Wanqing couldn't help herself. "What kind of crap is this movie? I'm going to fall asleep if I keep watching it!"
If this kind of movie can be named a "classic movie", domestic horror films can dream of winning an Oscar!
Several people were watching and felt drowsy. Tang Xinjue suddenly frowned: "Someone got up."
The scene changed, and it showed a boy and girl sitting at the same table in the back row. They looked up quietly, made sure no one was noticing, whispered a few words to each other, and then began to be intimate.
Guo Guo: "Damn it!"
Single number two, Zheng Wanqing: “Fuck!”
Single number three Zhang You: "Damn!"
Single number four, Tang Xinjue, remained silent. She noticed a detail: "The girl's hands have changed."
Even with just a tiny glimpse, he could still see that the girl's arm had turned from white to blue, and her nails had grown darker and longer. The boy didn't notice until the girl raised her head from his embrace. When they looked at each other, two tears of blood streamed down her face.
"Ah!!!" The boy screamed and fell to the ground. He wanted to open the door and escape, but was caught by the head teacher at the door.
"Wang Peng, where are you going?"
The boy named Wang Peng spoke incoherently: "Feng Wan, her face..."
The head teacher did not listen to his explanation. After scolding him harshly, he locked him back in the classroom without any explanation.
The boy pounded on the door desperately but to no avail. He turned around tremblingly and saw that all the classmates who had just been studying at their desks slowly raised their heads, with tears of blood on their faces.
Amid his desperate and terrified screams, his classmates stood up and rushed over, surrounding him...
Seeing this, Tang Xinjue suddenly realized that something was wrong and immediately grabbed the mouse to close the page. However, just before the mouse clicked, the computer screen went dark.
[This movie has been watched! Now start the movie quiz!]
Four people: "..."
Your movie is only over 30 minutes long? Are you kidding me?
No wonder the progress bar doesn’t show up, what a terrible exam!
It was too late to exit now. A multiple-choice question quickly appeared on the screen:
[Excuse me, whose dream does this movie tell?]
[A. Zhao Mingtao]
[B, Qian Zhi]
[C, Sun Qian]
[D. Li Xiaoyu]
Four people: "..."
"If I hadn't suddenly lost my memory," Zhang You frowned, "none of these four names would have appeared in the movie."
Tang Xinjue had no expression on his face: "You didn't lose your memory, and I didn't see it either."
Not only that, there was no mention of anything related to dreams.
In the more than 30 minutes of content, apart from the self-study session viewed from the surveillance angle, the two characters "Wang Peng" and "Feng Wan" only appeared in the last few minutes, but these two names did not appear in the options.
This is really like Sima Guang smashing the jar while playing the piano - outrageous!
[19, 18, 17…]
The question-and-answer interface has entered the countdown, leaving them no time to think.
Tang Xinjue's identification skills and Guo Guo's pendant were ineffective. At this time, there was no other way but to rely on luck.
"According to the rule of guessing the answer, if you don't know any of the four, then choose C—"
Click, the mouse falls on option C.
The countdown stopped, the Q&A interface disappeared, and then a bright red word popped up:
[Wrong answer! Viewing progress has been reset, restarting the movie...]
Having a bad premonition, Tang Xinjue instantly pulled out the toilet plunger. At the same moment, the surrounding environment suddenly changed.
The desk turned into a desk piled with books, and the roommates gathered next to it disappeared, leaving behind neatly arranged desks.
Looking around, she found that the environment she was in had turned into a high school classroom. Everyone was concentrating on studying, and the only sound in the room was the scraping of pens on paper.
At this moment, someone poked her in the back. Tang Xinjue turned around and saw it was Wang Peng, the male protagonist from the movie. He looked perfectly normal at the moment and leaned over to ask her quietly, "Li Xiaoyu, do you know what happened to Wang Peng yesterday? Why was he taken away by the class teacher?"
Tang Xin Jue was silent for two seconds, then asked, "Who are you?"
The boy opened his eyes wide: "No way, you lost your memory? I'm Zhao Mingtao!"
