Talia walked on the lawn and yawned. The alcohol stimulated her brain, making her consciousness hazy. This ambiguous and tipsy feeling is exactly the reason why many people drink.

The cold wind blew her hair, and Talia unknowingly found herself in the center of the lawn.

She breathed in the cool air and wanted to lie on the grass and enjoy it.

But as Talia sat back, she felt as if she was sitting on a soft sofa.

The sofa was as soft as memory foam, and Talia soon sank into it. The comfort made her feel sleepy. Although sleeping outside casually in this season might cause a cold, when sleepiness came, any nodding and squinting could not be trusted.

Thalia quickly fell into a deep sleep.

As her consciousness drifted away, the "couch" surrounding her also changed.

Dark, slippery, pitch-black tentacles wrapped around Talia's body, and the black flesh gradually began to devour Talia, but she was still sleeping soundly, as if the pain did not exist.

Her skin was torn and bleeding, her nerves and muscles were eroded bit by bit, and even her bones were not spared.

After a moment, Talia was completely swallowed up, and the invisible monster kept squirming. A mass of dirty black flesh and blood fell to the ground. Soon, the flesh and blood began to squirm, grow, and expand. In the blink of an eye, it became a small monster, toddling on the grass.

"Is there really no way?"

A sigh was heard.

A young man held a camera in his hand and recorded this scene.

"No matter how many times I repeat it, no matter what method I use, there is no way to change it..."

He put down the camera in his hand and looked towards the location of the RV.

"It should be similar over there..."

Muttering, he walked towards the lighted side, but stopped at the sight before him.

The roof of the RV was blown off by some powerful force, and the two monsters fell to the ground, motionless.

Next to the RV, a man was holding a camera and filming the place.

"It seems you know something."

Lu Ban greeted him.

“Scott.”

Scott, who was standing on the lawn, was speechless for a moment when he saw this.

He stared at Lu Ban for a long time, trying to find something unusual about him, but soon Scott gave up.

Lu Ban looked like an ordinary person, nothing unusual about him.

In other words, his abnormality was no longer something that people like Scott could see.

Just like when certain changes occur in the stars or the universe, how can ordinary humans living on a tiny planet understand it?

Standing there, Scott didn't dare to move.

In this abnormal world, Lu Ban is the most normal one. If you think about it carefully, you will feel that something is wrong.

“Come over to chat and have some barbecue.”

Lu Ban greeted him. He set up the camera aside, put the grill aside again, lit the charcoal with a lighter, took out some meat from the refrigerator in the RV whose roof had been lifted off, and prepared to grill it on the grill once the fire was heated up.

His movements were so natural that Scott naturally returned to the RV.

Scott took a look at the two monster corpses and asked tentatively.

"Is this Valerie and Wes? Where's James?"

"Lying down, but that's about it."

Lu Ban pointed at James who was lying unconscious on the ground. His arm was bleeding profusely and he was basically dead. Of course, Lu Ban could theoretically save the young man, for example, he could write something like "Born with disability, he uses one hand to perfection" on his arm to effectively stop the bleeding, but Lu Ban knew very well that the life and death of these people was not the key issue.

"So you already knew they were going to be killed?"

He looked at Scott who was sitting next to him. The firelight illuminated Scott's face, half orange and half gray.

"Yes, from the moment we met you, no, from a long time ago, I knew they would die."

Scott said.

"James is not like this usually. He is very smart, a leader, and respects others. Although Wes likes to be clever, he is also willing to help others."

"Talia is a quiet and reserved girl who loves reading the most, and Valerie is not so willful. She is very considerate and kind."

“But once they enter here and come to Miskatoke, their personalities will be distorted. They will become extreme and manic, as if they have become another person.”

"Of course, they will all die in the end because of their own arbitrariness. No, even if they didn't have such a change in character, they would still die in a place like Miskatoke."

He stared at the fire and spoke lightly.

"It's not a precognition, it's a memory, right?"

Lu Ban picked up a thick piece of meat with a barbecue tongs and placed it on the grill. The high temperature immediately charred the surface of the meat, and a sizzling sound was heard where the meat was in contact with the rack. It was through this rapid and intense roasting that the moisture of the meat was locked in, making it crispy and charred on the surface while remaining tender on the inside.

"right."

Scott nodded, picked up a random piece of charcoal and added it to the raging fire. The flame became smaller, but would eventually burn more vigorously.

"I've been through this so many times, we're stuck here, it's not Miskatoke, it's the film festival, we're stuck in time."

"You mean, every time the Miskatoke Film Festival opens, you'll start this experience, which ends with everyone's death?"

Lu Ban confirmed.

From the current situation, he can tell that these college students are indeed not human beings, but are formed by some kind of pollution, just like humans made of mud. They are simply imitating human behavior.

"Yes, Director Lu Ban, I told you before that our movie is about a group of college students who try to shoot a horror film with a film festival as the background, but they encounter strange events during the filming process and everyone dies in the end."

Scott answered, speaking in a flat tone, as if he were reviewing a dull and boring movie.

"This is the ending of our film. Suffering, despair, and fear are the classic elements of horror films, and they are also what we felt."

"Originally, I thought things would be different after meeting you on this trip, but now it seems that even with the unprecedented unexpected events, the ending of the story remains unchanged. Moreover, it is a pity that Director Lu Ban may also enter this endless cycle with us."

He looked at Lu Ban and said with a hint of apology.

"But, Scott, have you ever wondered why?"

Lu Ban asked, he put the almost roasted meat on the plate and looked at Scott.

"Why are you tied up here?"
