Chapter 46 Cinema
There had just been a heavy rain, and Lijing was still shrouded in a dim curtain.
The sky was covered with dark clouds. The afternoon sun penetrated the clouds and shone down, but it could not reach every corner of the city. Guyimai Community happened to be the area where no light could be seen.
The light in the bathroom was dim. Ji Minghuan pressed the switch on the wall to turn on the orange bathroom light. He walked slowly to the washbasin, picked up the towel on the shelf, and wiped his face in front of the mirror.
Then, while walking towards the room, he replied to messages from his best friends on his mobile phone.
【Gu Wenyu: I happen to have some free time, where should I go? 】
[Li Qingping: How about watching a movie? The recently released "Neon Genesis Evangelion: End of Evangelion".]
【Gu Wenyu: Oh, Eva, I want to watch it too. Do you want to book the tickets or should I?】
[Li Qingping: Just go out now. I have already booked the ticket for you.]
【Gu Wenyu: How much is it? I will transfer it to you via WeChat. 】
[Li Qingping: Brother, do you need this little money? If you stand me up again, I will be angry. You have been acting like a dead person these past few days. Every time I call you, you pretend to be dead. I suspect you have found a girlfriend behind my back.]
With a "ding" sound, my best friend sent me the location of a movie theater.
Ji Minghuan glanced at the address, then walked back to the room, found a T-shirt and jeans in the closet, put them on in two or three steps, pulled his sleeves and went out.
By the way, he was wearing a T-shirt with the cartoon image of the alien "Swallow Silver".
Unlike national idols like "Blue Arc", "Tun Yin" has received mixed reviews in China. Because of his overly aggressive personality, he often says shocking things and has no sense of propriety, and often does things that are difficult to understand.
He usually appears in a silver uniform and a silver mask, and his special ability is that he can immediately gain different abilities by swallowing different metals.
Therefore, the cooperative merchants of the Alien Association designed the cartoon image of "Swallowing Silver" into a silver hamster with a grim expression, gnawing on a small piece of iron in its hand with its head down.
I really don’t know whether to cry or laugh after seeing this.
Anyway, Ji Minghuan laughed. He only knew that Gu Wenyu was a fan of Tun Yin, so this T-shirt appeared in his closet.
Ji Minghuan turned the doorknob, and just as he opened the door a crack, he saw Gu Zhuoan's face. His tall figure stood quietly against the wall, his back hunched, his arms hanging in front of his abdomen, staring at the floor in deep thought.
"Wen Yu...Qi Ye said what date he was going to Japan?" Gu Zhuoan raised his head and asked.
"I haven't asked yet."
"Then remember to ask him and prepare a few days in advance."
"Um."
"Want to go out and play?"
"right."
"Don't come back too late."
"oh."
Gu Zhuoan was silent for a moment, then warned, "There are a lot of superpowered criminals out there recently, like the 'Black Pupa', the 'Out-of-Frame', the 'Earthworm Man'... and the 'Ghost Bell'. In short, if you encounter danger or trouble outside, remember to call me immediately and I will pick you up right away."
Come on, isn't Ghost Zhong standing right in front of me now? According to your logic, should I call you right away and say: Woo woo woo dad, I'm so scared, the super criminal Ghost Zhong is blocking the door of my room, and he won't let me go out to play.
"Okay." Ji Minghuan raised his eyes from the phone screen and looked at Gu Zhuo'an, "Anything else?"
"It's okay. Go and have fun."
At 5:30 in the afternoon, Ji Minghuan arrived at the cinema on time.
The dark clouds had not yet dispersed completely, and the sky was a little gloomy. The ground on the street was very wet, and the colorful neon lights and movie posters of the cinema were reflected in the puddles.
It was summer, and the air quality was between damp and hot, making people feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, after a while, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly collapsed, and the warm afternoon sun shone in, relieving some of the irritability of the pedestrians.
After scanning the QR code and taking out two movie tickets from the Taopiaopiao machine, Ji Minghuan and Li Qingping each held a bucket of popcorn and lay in the massage chair area waiting to enter.
Li Qingping still had his hair in pigtails today, and his handsome face attracted the attention of many passers-by.
On one of the big screens in the cinema, information about supernatural criminals who have been active in Lijing City recently was being played. The pictures on the screen switched one after another, showing information about a series of dangerous people such as "Ghost Bell", "Flying Ant", "Out-of-Frame", and "Black Pupa", and an AI female voice was used to remind residents to stay away immediately if they saw people with similar attire.
When the screen showed the upside-down figure of "Black Pupa" and the restraints that surrounded his body like waves, Li Qingping immediately slapped the handle of his chair, pointed at the screen and said to Ji Minghuan: "Damn, I think his outfit is so cool every time I see it. What about you?"
"My sister said he was a big moth." Ji Minghuan said without raising his head.
Li Qingping said with a grin, "Mingming is so handsome, okay? I watched the video uploaded by netizens at the time. He was reading a book while twisting the heads of five gangsters off. My dad and I were stunned and wondered who he was. Not to mention that even Blue Arc was stunned by him at the time."
"Blue Arc seemed to be in a bad state that day. With his strength, how could he be fooled by two such weak criminals?"
"I feel the same way...his movements seemed to become much slower during that live broadcast."
As he spoke, Li Qingping turned his head and looked at Ji Minghuan: "By the way, do you think the outfit of the 'Black Pupa' looks familiar?"
"Is there?"
"What do you mean, it's very similar to the uniform we designed together in middle school!"
"I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it."
"Hey... we are just superficial brothers. Didn't we agree that if one of us awakens his superpowers and becomes a different walker, we should build our own uniform according to this design?"
"Oh...it seems so." Ji Minghuan said nonchalantly, "Fortunately, the final test results of both of us are Muggles. Anyway, why do we have to go into the profession with the highest mortality rate? After graduation, I will find a class and you can go home to inherit the company. Why don't we both have a bright future?"
"I really wish I had the genes of a superpower." Li Qingping sighed, "If there is no other way, who would be willing to be a Muggle?"
Seeing him pretending to be so serious, Ji Minghuan couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Brother, don't wait until I find out that you are a superpower, otherwise I will have to open one or two small accounts to deal with you."
"But actually..." Li Qingping paused and looked away, "Sometimes I also think it's good to be an ordinary person. It's actually good to have boring classes at school every day, stare at the playground in a daze, and hang out with friends after the holidays."
"Why are you suddenly feeling sentimental? Are you missing your lost youth even though it's not yet gone? Or did your brain suddenly switch to the wrong channel?"
"Coke or Sprite?" Li Qingping smiled and changed the subject.
"Cola."
Hearing this, Li Qingping bought two bottles of drinks from the vending machine next to the massage chair and handed one of the bottles of Coke to Ji Minghuan.
"Thank you."
Ji Minghuan looked down at his phone, thanked him and reached out to take the Coke.
At this moment, a black restraint belt stretched out from his fingertips, gently touched Li Qingping's little finger, and then quickly retracted into the gap between his fingers.
