Chapter 209 Breaking the Rules



"The rules of the horror cinema are simple. We have to sit here and watch the movie. We cannot choose not to watch or listen until the end of the show. If we are still alive, we can escape from here."

"At the same time, the movie will show us horror events with us as the protagonists. If we are shaken and react in the way the characters in the horror movie would, then we will be affected by the plot of the movie and be hurt."

"As we get hurt, our seats move forward, and every time we move forward, the damage gets worse. Maybe when the seats move to the first row, something irreversible will happen."

"We can do other things, like chatting and talking like we are doing now, as long as we don't have a frightened reaction due to the stimulation given by the movie, then we won't be hurt."

"Just like in the movie, I suddenly stood up and Remington turned around, so he was punished, but Feng Yu stood up of his own volition, so he was not punished."

Lu Ban made a brief summary. He glanced at the big screen, where several people were still sitting on their chairs. Something seemed to be moving behind them, but everyone's attention was focused on listening to Lu Ban's words, and they didn't pay much attention to the plot in the movie.

"But we still have to sit here and watch this... movie. We can only leave safely after we finish watching it."

The wound on Remington's hand had stopped bleeding, as if some special method had been used.

Lu Ban didn't know whether the Black Tower taught magic or not. He only knew that the Black Tower had an extra-dimensional stealth technique, some props for assassination and concealment, and a little bit of the Black Tower's history that he learned from the goods in the [Silent Department Store].

What Remington meant was that as long as they were watching the movie, they would inevitably be moved by the images on the screen and eventually fall into the trap step by step.

There is no way in this world to watch a movie and not watch the movie at the same time.

“In fact, there is.”

Lu Ban said this and took out his cell phone.

He took advantage of Remington's inattention and fired a shot at the phone with [Last Words].

The phone immediately emitted a song full of vitality and joy.

"Good luck to you, I wish you good luck, good luck brings joy and love..."

It's "Good Luck Comes".

Remington and Zitang were apparently hearing this song for the first time.

The two looked at each other, and could only hear that this was a very festive song.

"Does this song have some extraordinary power to drive away evil?"

Remington inquired, some mages in the Grey Tower focused on music magic and were actually able to use magic through music, could this man have similar skills?

Zitang didn't dare to speak, for fear that she would suffer another misfortune. She crossed her arms and listened to the joyful songs, but she couldn't be happy.

“No, it’s just a simple song.”

Lu Ban flatly denied it.

"A horror plot, after all, depends on the creation of atmosphere. When the background music of a horror movie becomes a happy song, then no matter what happens, people won't feel scared. Just watch it if you don't believe me."

He pointed to the movie screen.

Remington and Zitang looked over.

On the big screen, the guy with stitches on his face and holding a sharp knife came to the screening room again, and walked closely towards where the four people were.

Remington immediately held his breath subconsciously, fearing that he would be discovered by the other party.

Even if he was told that the movie was a fake and that there was no such murderer in reality, Remington would still react subconsciously.

But……

"Good luck to you, I wish you good luck, good luck brings joy and love..."

The woman's singing made the killer's behavior seem ridiculous, especially several times when his steps hit the rhythm exactly, which was very funny. Remington didn't know why, but his fear was relieved a lot, until he saw the other party coming to his side and raised the sharp knife in his hand.

"Good luck to you, I wish you good luck, good luck brings joy and love..."

Remington couldn't help but sing along with Lu Ban's phone. He watched the sharp knife fall and cut his throat to the song "Good Luck Comes", but in fact, nothing happened.

Infected by Remington, Zitang also started to sing along. She seemed to be quite knowledgeable about music theory. Compared to Remington who sang loudly without following the tune, Zitang quickly grasped the melody and sang quite well.

For a moment, the song of "Good Luck Comes" echoed in the horror movie theater.

"...I thought you would use some more...extraordinary means?"

Feng Yu was obviously somewhat surprised by the current situation.

“The best way to eliminate fear is to face it. In fact, I got this answer because I have been studying the corresponding theories and psychology.”

Lu Ban also hummed the melody of "Good Luck Comes".

The whole cinema had a strange atmosphere.

The big screen showed the scene of Lu Ban and others being terrified and tortured by ghosts, but in fact, there were three people singing in a chorus with different parts. Feng Yu watched this scene and finally couldn't help but chuckled.

"You are indeed an interesting fellow."

She smiled happily too.

After an unknown amount of time, the movie finally ended. Lu Ban and others in the movie died tragically, but the people sitting in the cinema were singing happily.

Lu Ban also taught them many Spring Festival Gala songs, but he didn't know whether these songs could be popularized in a foreign country.

Music has no borders!

When the screen went dark, in Remington's eyes, the cold and indifferent words of the system were projected on the screen.

【Mission Completed】

[Whether to choose to return]

He did not make a direct choice, but glanced at Lu Ban and Feng Yu.

"Thank you so much for this time... I hope we can meet again... No, let's not see each other again."

Remington didn't want to come into this unreasonable world again.

He gradually disappeared into the air.

As for Zitang, after she thanked Lu Ban and Feng Yu very solemnly, she also left this world.

"It turns out that leaving a foreign land has such a special effect."

Lu Ban muttered to himself as he watched the two people gradually become transparent, disappear from the air, and finally as if they had never appeared.

He suddenly found that the atmosphere around him had changed.

The empty screening room disappeared, replaced by a full auditorium.

On the big screen, the dragon emblem has just appeared and "The Wailing" has not yet begun.

“I’m really back.”

Lu Ban felt as if he had also experienced a mission.

However, compared to the previous ones, this task is obviously much simpler.

Any sport that can be handled with "Good Luck" is no problem for Lu Ban.

He turned to look at Feng Yu beside him, but he didn't know when this woman had fallen asleep. Her head was resting on the sofa, and she looked very quiet.

Lu Ban already had a rough idea of ​​why Feng Yu wanted him to come here today.

At least Lu Ban now knows where the extraordinary thing about this world lies, and those strange things that act according to their own rules may appear around him.

"So, she's reminding me?"

Lu Ban realized it later and glanced at Feng Yu who was sleeping soundly.

He also thought that this woman might have simply encountered a mission in the Silent Land, so she brought Lu Ban here just to join in the fun.
