After everyone took their seats, Xiao Jin and the other three sat in the front row with solemn expressions.
Anyway, the space here is only so big, it doesn't matter where you sit. But it's a VR movie… is it an immersive viewing experience? Where are the devices?
The group searched for a long time but couldn't find any VR equipment around the chair, not even a pair of glasses.
Xiao Xin, on the other hand, unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes.
She always felt that being too close to the curtain was not a good thing; who knows, if they looked at it for too long, a vengeful ghost might crawl out from inside!
So she quietly tugged at Li Qi next to her, and the two of them moved to the back row of seats as if by telepathy.
Chen Mingchuan wasn't scared at all, so he simply sat down next to Luo Bin in the front row.
Once everyone was seated, the entire space seemed to be enveloped in an inexplicable atmosphere of tension.
The double doors in the distance slowly closed with a gentle push from the staff, making a creaking sound that seemed particularly jarring in the quiet environment.
Immediately afterwards, the spotlights above everyone's heads suddenly went out, and darkness surged in like a tidal wave. Everyone's heartbeat quickened involuntarily, as if they could clearly hear each other's breathing.
Immediately, a huge curtain in front of them lit up in the darkness, like a bolt of lightning ripped through the night sky, and several bright red characters appeared on it—"The Mysterious Building".
The appearance of these words intensified the eerie atmosphere in the air, and a chill ran through everyone's hearts.
The next second, Xiao Jin felt his consciousness begin to blur, as if he were being pulled by an invisible force, and instantly fell into darkness.
Even at this very moment, a question was still lingering in everyone's minds.
What's going on? They don't even know the rules of this game yet, and it's already starting...

On this remaining abandoned wasteland, weeds grow wildly like wildfire.
The dilapidated buildings, with their broken walls and crumbling ruins, are like the remains of a giant who has collapsed. Some stand, some lean, and some have collapsed into a pile of rubble, silently telling the story of the desolation before us.
The air was filled with the smell of earth, weeds, and decaying buildings, but the place was deserted, as if it had been abandoned.
In the distance, a dozen or so figures moved slowly among the ruins, their silhouettes elongating in the afterglow of the setting sun, as if they were searching for something.
Upon opening her eyes, Xiao Jin immediately reached for the Shattered Shadow, but paused when she saw the scene before her, managing not to attract the attention of the others.
Looking around, Xu Qing and the others were all there, but in addition to the 12 players, there were three more NPCs in front of them.
One man and two women. The man was tall, with medium-length hair, dressed in a hip-hop style, and had a camera hanging around his neck.
There are two female NPCs, one tall and one short. The tall one is bright and elegant, while the short one is quite charming.
At that moment, the shorter girl was holding the taller girl's arm and said with a smile, "Xiaoyu, we're almost there. Once we finish filming this footage, our official WeChat account will definitely become a huge hit."
As the short girl finished speaking, the system notification sounded in Xiao Jin's ear.
[Ding—Task triggered: Immersive Movie Viewing. Players will participate in the filming as characters in the movie, and the project experience is successful only if the required runtime of the film is completed.]
The total runtime of this film is 120 minutes. After successfully watching the film, players will receive 2000 points, 1 cinema badge, and 1 random badge. (Note: The exact runtime of the film is subject to change; please refer to the end time of the script.)
凸(艹皿艹)
Holy crap, this is immersive movie viewing! This is clearly immersive role-playing, a classic murder mystery game!
Looking at the panel again, there's no script, only a movie synopsis. Those three NPCs in front must be the main and supporting characters, right? Looking at them, they're just cannon fodder.
Luo Bin rolled his eyes; even Xiao Jin hadn't expected it to be like this.
She had similar thoughts to Xiao Xin, assuming the park would show a horror movie to the players, and that many supernatural phenomena would occur in the screening room during the movie.
But what they never expected was that they would be thrown directly into the movie.
This mission is not simple. Just look at the rewards: in addition to the fixed badges, the system also gives extra points and a random badge.
The use of random badges is also very simple: players can consume one random badge to select one of the seven badges for the main quest.
Xiao Xin was overjoyed when she saw it. She hadn't completed the haunted house yet, so she could exchange it for a haunted house badge.
Generous rewards also mean high difficulty.
Just then, the girl with twin tails whispered from behind, "Do you know what 'uncertain duration' means in that notice?"
Xu Qing tilted her head: "When we watch movies in the theater, the runtime is only about two hours, and what we see is the pre-edited version."
But now it's being performed in person in a movie, and there are long blanks in the script when the plot transitions, such as 'one night has passed,' 'next month,' 'three years later.'
These scenes, which are only briefly mentioned in the script, might actually make us experience that much time.
"Oh no! No way!"
Not only was the girl with twin ponytails stunned, but Chen Mingchuan, Luo Bin, and the others also looked at Xu Qing with the same astonishment.
Xiao Xin was very anxious: "How is that possible? We've been stuck in the movie for so long, that's ridiculous."
Seeing Xu Qing frown, Xiao Xin quickly added, "I didn't mean anything by it, it's just..."
"Oh dear, not only is there no food or drink here, but we also have to get back to the landing point at nine o'clock tomorrow!"
That was exactly what they were worried about: what if they missed the bus back?
Since arriving at the film studio, Xiao Jin has rarely spoken. Although Cui Mingyang was somewhat puzzled, seeing that Xiao Jin did not intend to speak, he answered Xu Qing's question himself.
"What Xu Qing said is just a possibility. In reality, it is very likely that it will not take that long, but it will not exceed a week."
"Are you so sure?" Li Qi asked.
Xu Qing: "This kind of adventure script can only be completed in three days at most. Moreover, I think the passage of time in the movie is different from that in the real world."
"If everyone thought like you, then no player would be able to catch the train on time." Xu Qing chuckled as he finished speaking.
Xiao Xin blushed and then lowered her head. Li Qi, who was beside her, patted her comfortingly.
……………………
As the NPCs began to speak, filming for the 'Haunted Building' movie officially started.
Xiaoyu strode forward: "I am also very confident that the WeChat official account will become a hit."
The Fourth Haunted Building is one of the most haunted places in Linjiang. Countless people want to come here to solve the mystery, but many never return.
Some say they died, others say they saw their deceased relatives inside the building and chose to stay there.
If you look closely, you'll see that while Xiaoyu was saying the last part, the hip-hop guy next to her had already recorded her words with a camera.
The players immediately realized that they were recording footage!
