“What’s going to happen today?”

Lu Ban had checked astronomical data before coming here. There were no special astronomical phenomena today. There was neither the Perseid meteor shower nor the transit of Mercury. The nearest comet would not approach the earth for another forty years.

Just a normal year end.

"Let's check the tickets first."

Feng Yu did not answer, but walked towards the ticket gate with Lu Ban.

The two of them walked one after the other, just like ordinary friends.

After sitting down, Lu Ban found that it was a seat at the right rear, which was not very good. He could only roughly see what was going on in most of the theater. It was very suitable for couples to do something secretly.

As for the movie, it was naturally Lu Ban's "The Wailing". When the screening was about to begin, Lu Ban found that the screening room was almost full. He didn't expect that someone would choose a horror movie as the first movie of the new year. He felt quite surprised.

"You don't just want me to watch a movie with you again, do you?"

Lu Ban asked in a low voice.

"You don't want to?"

Feng Yu asked back as a matter of course.

"That's not the problem..."

When Lu Ban was considering his words, he suddenly felt something strange.

Is the black screen time after the advertisement too long?

He looked up at the screen, only to find that the entire theater had gone dark.

The audience in the hall disappeared, leaving only a lonely and dark space. The seats were empty, like coffins waiting for a corpse.

"This is……"

The professional Chosen Ones dared to make a judgment, and Lu Ban quickly understood that this was some kind of space similar to a foreign land.

It was like the Jiangcheng Grand Theater that night, and also like the Nanhua Private Renji Hospital that day.

"Hush."

Feng Yu pretended to be silent and pointed to one side.

Lu Ban saw that there were two other people in the huge screening room.

At first glance, the two people looked like ordinary passers-by, but when Lu Ban took a closer look, he found that their clothes were a little special.

One of them was a tall man wearing a cloak similar to Shia's.

The other person was wearing a cheongsam and looked like a woman.

"…The Chosen One?"

Lu Ban quickly understood the situation.

According to his past experience, the place where he is now is also a foreign land in the Land of Silence. So, since Lu Ban himself can go to other foreign lands to explore, why can't people from other foreign lands come to his world?

"The Land of Silence can confuse perception. I couldn't recognize them as people from other foreign lands at first."

In Lu Ban's initial vision, these two people were just ordinary people. It was not until some time later that he realized that they were not native to this world. Perhaps he had encountered similar situations when he went to other foreign lands. The Land of Silence changed the local people's cognition and made the appearance of the Chosen One not seem abrupt.

From this perspective, many rumors of supernatural events may not be false, but rather changes caused by the arrival of God's Chosen One.

But why was Lu Ban able to see through the maze this time?

Was it Feng Yu’s help?

Lu Ban glanced at the woman beside him.

"I suggest you pretend you didn't notice."

Feng Yu said softly.

Lu Ban saw the two men stand up. While talking, he looked around and found Lu Ban and Feng Yu walking towards him.

…

"Are these two the guides this time..."

Remington's first sight was a man and a woman sitting in the corner. He muttered to himself and looked at the woman next to him.

The woman looked extremely weak, wearing short clothes that highlighted her figure, and she looked like she had no fighting ability at all.

"My name is Remington, I'm from the Black Tower. It seems you are my companion this time."

He greeted first.

"Yes, yes, my name is Zitang."

The woman's eyes and eyebrows were adorable. If Remington hadn't met her in this place, perhaps he wouldn't mind communicating with her more and spending a wonderful night with her.

But now, there are beauties and nights, but they are not beautiful.

In front of Remington's eyes, a projection of swaying and flickering text appeared on the blank screen.

【Horror Cinema】

[The cinema represents fantasy, vision, and all hope]

[Countless loves, hates, and vengeances are staged here, joys and sorrows are but fleeting realizations, grand deaths and humble endings are all illusions on the stage]

[You come to this cinema, looking for a way to survive. Let us wait and see whether those films contain an ending that allows survival.]

[Mission Difficulty: Pollution]

[Task requirements: Witness the ending of a story]

[Task requirements: Survive in the cinema until dawn]

[“Movies are different from life. Life is much harder.”]

"Survival mission..."

Remington has experienced ten missions in foreign lands, including two missions of [Erosion] difficulty, and he is well aware of the dangers of the Silent Land.

The most dangerous ones are those where the mission objectives require survival.

Even if these missions are of the lowest [Mortal] difficulty, if the Chosen Ones sit still, strange things will harass them and pose a threat to them.

Not to mention the high difficulty.

"I'm good at stealth fighting, and I have some ways to control the monsters in the dark. What about you?"

Remington told us what he was good at. If there were companions with him, it would be more helpful for them to cooperate and clear the level if they each explained their own fighting methods.

"I...I can see some dirt."

Zitang said timidly.

"Besides that?"

Remington raised an eyebrow.

"……sorry."

Zitang didn't know what to say, so he could only close his eyes and apologize.

"Who gave you the courage to choose the difficulty of [Pollution]?"

Remington had already classified this woman as a burden.

In the Land of Silence, the more you know, the easier it is to be polluted and go crazy. If a person's ability is only to see more, then he is of no use other than to harm his teammates. He is simply a real burden.

Forget it, if it really doesn't work, I can use her to try and error.

In a silent place, if your companions are not strong, they will easily be used as cannon fodder. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself.

In short, this is a place similar to a theater. It seems that their mission, in addition to surviving, also requires them to explore here and get some things, perhaps a script or something. They can't just sit there and wait to die.

Remington thought as he walked towards the man and woman.

"Are you the staff here?"

He asked.

“I guess so.”

One of the women answered.

"Is it?"

Remington was a little confused, but it seemed that the two men would not harm him. They were local teammates in this mission and could be sold at the critical moment.

He thought about it and continued speaking.

"My name is Remington, this is my friend Zitang, what about you?"

"Feng Yu."

The woman answered and pointed at the man next to her.

"This is Lu Ban, we work here."

As soon as the words fell.

The dark big screen suddenly lit up.

Along with the creaking sound of the projector film turning, mottled images appeared on it.

Distorted and tuned music started playing.

The movie begins.
