Towards the second half of the film, Bai Qiquan used his free left hand to wipe the sweat off his body.

It was clearly a slightly chilly autumn day, and they were in an air-conditioned movie theater, but Bai Qiquan was already covered in sweat.

They were all scared.

The guy holding the saw suddenly popped his head out, causing most of the people in the cinema to scream.

Bai Qiquan estimated that if it wasn't because they were in a public place, some girls and boys might have screamed loud enough to hurt one's eardrums.

For example, the one next to me.

Pang Zhen had curled up in the chair, his head leaning against the backrest, his eyes narrowed, trying to avoid those horrific scenes.

However, "The Wailing" is not a movie that relies on horror scenes to scare people, or in other words, it is not a movie that simply relies on such scenes to scare people.

Just the first-person perspective of Lu Ban walking in the hospital corridor with a flashlight was scary enough. Pang Zhen felt as if she had really come to that abandoned hospital. The air smelled of medicine and dust, as well as some indescribable strange smell that was very tempting.

In this atmosphere, would you say the picture is scary? Not really, it is more of a rendering of the atmosphere, a psychological suggestion.

Coupled with the overall audience perception in the cinema, what really scares the audience is their own imagination.

Even though Bai Qiquan seemed to be gloating, he himself was not feeling well either.

The thought of a person exploring an abandoned hospital late at night is terrifying enough, not to mention the doctor who looks like a stitched-up corpse wandering the corridors. This is definitely a chase scene from a horror game.

Soon, Bai Qiquan saw a guy dressed as a worker wandering in the corridor. The camera followed him and Bai Qiquan recognized at first sight that this was the missing construction site manager. Then, when the camera followed this zombie-like guy to a room and saw the large excavated pit on the ground and the bodies of the workers in the pit, he could not bear it.

Because of the previous atmosphere, he watched the movie very seriously, so at the first moment, he thought of the living stake mentioned in the recording.

"These workers were built into the wall. They are sacrifices!"

Bai Qiquan gradually understood everything.

This hospital might be some kind of huge sacrificial site, perhaps built for some evil ritual!

His curiosity overcame his fear, and even though goose bumps appeared all over his body, as if those numb corpses were right in front of him, he still kept looking.

Everyone has a different threshold for feeling fear.

Some people would be scared to death when seeing the bloody scenes, while some people would even make a V-sign to Kayako. What scared Bai Qiquan at this moment was not just these scenes, but the atmosphere.

The hospital that cures illnesses and saves lives actually hides dark secrets, and even uses the sacrifices of innocent people as its foundation. Workers who died miserably were tied up in the walls of the wards. It is creepy to think about it.

This is the thrilling feeling brought by the contrast.

Why do some people find amusement parks at night, deserted schools and abandoned hospitals scary? Because these places usually give people the impression of being sunny, happy, cheerful and lively, and they are places that give people a sense of security.

Horror works can create an even stronger sense of horror by portraying these places as strange and dangerous, completely destroying people's sense of security.

This is also the reason why Kayako crawled into bed. After all, many people used to think that when faced with a problem, they would crawl into bed, and as long as they covered their heads with the quilt, nothing would happen. Kayako broke this concept, which is terrifying.

While Bai Qiquan was still curious about the secret of this hospital, the sound of the elevator attracted his attention.

bite--

With the sound of the elevator arriving, all the audience present shuddered and some even screamed.

In the elevator, a doctor without a mask came out.

Bai Qiquan recognized that this was Zhao Gongping, the director of this hospital!

He was just like any other doctor walking slowly in the corridor.

But just as he passed in front of Lu Ban, the walking corpse suddenly turned around, with a ferocious expression, and pounced on him with a scalpel in his hand!

"hiss--"

Unable to help but take a breath, Bai Qiquan felt Pang Zhen beside him holding his hand even tighter.

What followed was a breathtaking fight. The shaky camera seemed messy, but it accurately showed the fight between the two key people. In the end, Lu Ban smashed the dean's head with a stick.

Looking at the body lying on the ground, the camera zoomed in and Bai Qiquan discovered that what was flowing out of the dean's head was actually gray cement slurry.

At the same time, Lu Ban ran towards the fifth floor.

He hid from the dean who appeared again from nowhere and entered room 502.

Here, Lu Ban found some records.

As the words appeared, the picture gradually turned yellow.

Bai Qiquan saw the young dean and a foreigner, saw how they met, and the experience of setting up this hospital. There was no doubt that these people had touched upon the forbidden and evil rituals in pursuit of resurrection, and had become addicted to them.

All the confusion has been explained. Now, the only suspense left is what is at the end of the corridor on the fifth floor.

At this moment, Bai Qiquan, like Lu Ban in the film, had no choice but to walk into that room.

Then he saw the monster in the container, which was gray and white like cement, wriggling, and had countless eyes and mouths, and was hideous and blasphemous.

A strange song started to sound, and the sound echoed in the cinema, making people's scalps tingle. Just listening to it made people feel uneasy. The discordant melody stimulated the eardrums, making people want to cover their ears.

The container broke, and the cement-like monster began to spread, expand, and devour everything.

Lu Ban tried to escape, but the cement spread so quickly that he was almost submerged and turned into a monster with a head filled with cement.

Bai Qiquan was a little nervous. Although according to the rules of the film, the protagonist would not die, this movie had not been following the routine so far, and he felt that the protagonist might die in the end.

At this time, he saw Lu Ban sneak into the elevator. There was a little girl in the elevator.

"This mirror can reflect strange things. It is... it is the passage connecting the two worlds..."

Lu Ban in the movie seemed to understand something, got into the elevator and closed the door.

The big screen fell into darkness. In this darkness, Bai Qiquan heard an extremely gentle voice, just like a mother telling a story to her child, telling her own story.

She talked about her love for her children, her life in the hospital, and her poor health. In that ward that was always filled with golden sunshine, she was full of anticipation for a new life.

But Bai Qiquan already understood everything at this time. He understood what role she represented in this story and what she was nurturing.

He wanted to make a sound, but his throat felt hoarse.

Beside him, his more sentimental girlfriend Pang Zhen had begun sobbing. The sound of sniffling could be heard in the cinema. The mother's loving confession was now like a sharp knife, stabbing into the audience's hearts one by one.

Finally, when the moment of delivery was approaching, when the dean's wild laughter rang out, when the camera turned and captured the haggard pregnant woman and the gray monster like cement, a cry rang out.

At the same time, Lu Ban contacted the outside world and activated the explosives.

Boom boom boom boom——

Amid the cries of newborn babies, the sinful hospital collapsed.

At this time, Bai Qiquan even forgot that he was watching a horror movie.

He only felt some complex emotions brewing in his heart, including fear, regret, and relief.

He was terrified because of the film's immersive atmosphere.

He felt regretful because good people did not end up with a good ending, while the punishment of bad people was always a step late.

He was glad because it was just a movie and reality at least wasn't that dark.

At the end of the film, in the rising sunshine and amid the crying of a newborn baby, Lu Ban stood on the ruins of the hospital, leaving only a blurry silhouette.
