Chapter 198 Turbulence Cinema (3)
"There's no one in this theater." Su Yue typed to Cang Zhi, "I guess I'm the only one in the audience."
It was too quiet here, and he didn't want to make any noise for fear of disturbing anything.
Su Yue found his seat. While doing so, he observed the situation in the screening room. Although the decoration in the aisle of the cinema was very strange, the screening room was quite normal. The seats and the big screen were even quite trendy from today's perspective.
The 4th row, 4th seat is in the corner of the front row. The number is quite unlucky, but it doesn’t matter.
Su Yue touched his bracelet, which was also a magic weapon. He couldn't wear it when entering the game because it was too powerful, but he could wear it when doing tasks. The effect was equivalent to a super-doubled version of a human amulet.
The bracelet is in a stable state, which means there is no threat nearby.
Although "no threat" itself is a strange thing.
After Su Yue sat down, he quickly recorded a short video of the scene in the screening room and sent it to Cang Zhi. He originally thought that the signal would be blocked, but it wasn't, and the short video was sent out very smoothly.
The two of them were on voice chat. Su Yue didn't say anything, but through his headphones, he could hear Cang Zhi's voice.
I sat there for another 5 minutes, and then with a "click", the lights went out.
"The movie is about to start." Su Yue whispered.
He was a little nervous because he didn't like this kind of dark and enclosed environment. Although the screening room was a little more spacious than the environment that Su Yue disliked the most, it was still limited in its spaciousness.
And when he realized that Cang Zhi on the other end of the voice line did not respond, this uneasiness instantly reached its peak.
Su Yue quickly took out his cell phone and realized something was wrong when he turned on the screen.
The light from the phone screen was so dim that he could barely see it clearly, and it had basically lost its lighting function. Moreover, there was an "x" displayed in the upper right corner where the signal icon was.
My cell phone has no signal.
The call was also disconnected.
The air conditioning in the screening room was turned on very low. It was already cold enough in the cinema, and the screening room was even colder. Su Yue rubbed his hands quickly.
The big screen finally lit up, and the title of the movie that Su Yue wanted to watch, "The Lost Rose of Love", slowly appeared on the screen.
The picture was like an old TV, with crackling snowflake special effects. The words of the movie title were artistically rendered, and the roof of the word "love" turned into a rose. The flower had a gorgeous shape, and blood was slowly dripping from both ends of the flower.
This still seems like a thriller.
.
Su Yue didn't know what would happen in the cinema, but it was obviously not cost-effective to take the initiative at the moment, so he used 50% of his energy to guard against the surroundings, 30% of his energy to try to reconnect with Cang Zhi, and the remaining 20% of his energy was on the movie. There must be a reason why he was shown such a movie.
This is a movie about European castles and vampires.
The plot is quite cliché: a beautiful young lady falls in love with a handsome and considerate servant who serves her. However, she has already been betrothed to a young master of a well-matched family, so the young lady tries to elope with the servant. They even escape the manor and move to the next city, hoping to live happily ever after.
However, the young master of the aristocratic family who is engaged to the eldest daughter is not an ordinary person, but a vampire who has been entrenched in the manor for thousands of years.
Although the young master of the aristocratic family has a gentle appearance, his temperament is extremely cruel and cold. After watching half of the film, Su Yue has discovered that this "Lost Love Rose" is not a romance film at all, but a thriller disguised as a romance film. The ending is even more cruel. The eldest daughter is killed by the young master of the vampire clan, and the young servant dies even more miserably. He is disemboweled, and the scene is extremely bloody.
Even though Su Yue was a well-informed god, such realistic and cruel scenes still shocked him. He even suspected that if this was a real movie, people might have been killed during the filming.
The movie ends with a close-up of a pool of blood. The next moment, the lights in the theater turn on. Su Yue is about to stand up, but he suddenly freezes in his seat with his hands and feet cold.
He suddenly realized that the screening room was already full of people without him noticing.
.
There was not a single empty seat in the entire screening room, either on the left or right, in front or behind. People were picking up their bags and discussing with the audience members with lingering fear.
"Oh my god, I regret watching this movie."
“It’s like looking at a criminal record.”
"Fortunately, there are no real vampires in this world."
The audience chatted and laughed, and stood up to leave, but Su Yue just stood there blankly, not moving a muscle.
What's going on? Wasn't the theater empty just now? Why is it full now?
There was no way these were audience members who sneaked in during the movie. Su Yue's attention was at least 30% on the outside during the whole process. It was impossible for him not to notice so many people entering the screening room.
As the lights came on, Su Yue's gaze fell on the screen, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
The big screen in front of me looks like a huge, flat curtain, which sways slightly when the wind blows. It is an old-style movie theater screen.
Su Yue suddenly reacted and looked down at his seat.
The chair was made of dark green hard handles, with a white number on the back of the chair, circled in red. It was obvious that this was not the seat he sat in when he entered the screening room.
This type of hard seat, like the large screen in front of it that is more than half the size, was a feature of movie theaters when they first emerged decades ago.
Su Yue gripped the handle tightly with his fingers, his palms were cold, and he watched the woman next to him take out her cell phone.
It was a brick-like rectangular cell phone, the oldest type of "big brother".
No one uses this stuff anymore.
The dim light seemed to freeze time. Su Yue watched people walk out of the screening room one after another. A few wisps of dust floated to the ground under the illumination of the ceiling light. The walls of the screening room were painted in a light green that looked very old, and the light reflected on them looked like a layer of faded gauze.
Although Su Yue found it hard to believe, he had to believe that in this screening room, time seemed to have gone back decades.
.
No wonder the call with Cangzhi was cut off the moment the movie started. They were no longer in the same time and space, so naturally there was no way they could contact each other.
Such a situation is very unfavorable for the gods, because the only thing that the gods cannot control is "time".
Even if he was the Supreme God of Suyue, he couldn't use his divine power to travel through the past where he was trapped and return to the "present".
"Why don't you leave?" someone suddenly asked.
The sudden sound in the huge screening room made Su Yue's muscles tense. He stood up quickly, drew out the sword in his hand, and looked at the person who was talking to him.
The person speaking was standing at the "emergency exit" door on the lower right side of the screen. He was wearing an old-style uniform and was obviously also a ticket inspector.
She smiled at Su Yue: "Why aren't you leaving yet? Are you feeling unwell? Where are you going? Do you need any help?"
"No, thank you," Su Yue politely declined. It didn't seem like staying in the theater was a good idea, so he decided to follow the ticket inspector's instructions and go out. He walked down to the emergency exit door, and the ticket inspector smiled and opened it for him.
Su Yue was about to go out when he caught a glimpse of the scene outside the door. He took a step back and his face turned pale.
The door was opened, and outside were iron steps exposed to the open air. The north wind was blowing so hard that it hurt my face even when the door was just a crack open.
But Su Yue retreated not because he was afraid of the cold, but because he knew clearly that the current cinema was built entirely inside a shopping mall, and no matter which door he went out from, it was impossible to walk to the open-air platform.
What's more, the weather outside is very hot, too hot to even wear long sleeves, but it is clearly winter outside.
This wasn't the world he'd entered to watch the movie.
.
The bracelet still didn't move. I didn't know if the time and space change had failed, or if there was still no threat here.
Su Yue tried to use his divine power, and it was still there, and the sword obeyed his commands, so it shouldn't be a malfunction. The scene before him was indeed not threatening.
...It just brought him to another time and space where he was at his wit's end.
The ticket inspector pointed outside the door and looked at Su Yue with a smile.
Su Yue's thoughts raced, and in an instant he was certain of at least one thing. He smiled and said, "Sorry, I won't leave yet."
Time changes in the screening room. If Su Yue stays here, he may be able to find the key. However, if he leaves the screening room and walks into the cold winter, he will truly enter another time and space.
Even if he wanted to come back, perhaps when the door opened again, it would not be the screening room at all, and he would be trapped in the "past" forever.
When the ticket inspector heard that Su Yue was unwilling to leave, her expression immediately turned very reluctant. She said in a bad tone, "But we are about to clean up, you can't stay here."
Su Yue's mind turned, "Then how about I go out from this side?"
He was referring to the door of the screening room through which he had come in.
"No," the ticket inspector said immediately, "you can only leave from here."
.
It was impossible to go out. Both Su Yue's intuition and judgment were warning him so, but the current situation made it seem difficult to stay in the screening room.
Because the light in the screening room was gradually getting dimmer, not only dimmer, but also becoming blurry. The light green walls were slowly melting, revealing the shocking blood color inside the walls.
The ticket inspector picked up the cleaning tool from the door. It was a big mop, but the cloth strips on the mop looked like messy hair.
The bracelet on Su Yue's wrist, which was like a talisman, quickly heated up and became hot.
"I'll go that way." Su Yue said politely. As he spoke, he stood up, carefully avoiding the seats and walking up the aisle. He moved very quickly and reached the entrance of the screening room in an instant.
"You go this way!" the ticket inspector screamed, and with this roar her form changed rapidly, turning into a huge female ghost in white with long hair covering her face.
"Where are you going!" the ghost screamed, "Go through the exit!"
Su Yue would be a fool if he went to her side again. He rushed out without hesitation, and shrill ghost screams came from the screening room behind him.
Stepping out of the screening room, Su Yue was extremely relieved to find that this was still the same corridor, a dark corridor without any lights, with carpet under his feet, and even the fragrance in the corridor was the same.
Suddenly, he felt a sharp burning sensation on his wrist. The bracelet had burned bright red. Su Yue was stunned for half a second and immediately picked up the phone, which only had the lighting effect.
In the claw machines embedded in the walls on both sides, countless white-faced dolls raised their heads and stared at Su Yue. They swarmed and twisted, and were about to burst the fragile glass wall.
