He was still thinking about how to get Jiang Min to "eavesdrop" on his conversation with the buyer from Zone 1, but he didn't expect that Jiang Min already knew about the mission.
He looked at Jiang Min calmly and said, "It's me."
Jiang Min was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting Cen Yu to admit it so directly—in his opinion, a normal person would at least try to cover it up if they were exposed like that.
"What do you want to say to He Yuxing?" Cen Yu pointed to the door, "Welcome."
Jiang Min didn't speak. He glanced at Cen Yu a few times until the cigarette he had rolled was almost burning down to his fingertips before he stood up. "It has nothing to do with me."
Cen Yu: "?"
Dude, where's your sense of justice?
How come he remembered that in the original work, after Jiang Min heard about this, she immediately exposed his true colors to He Yuxing?
However, Cen Yu was already used to this little accident. He stood up and asked, "There's one more thing. Don't you think that person in the barbershop is acting strange?"
Cen Yu couldn't remember the person's name, so she could only refer to him as such.
"He kept staring at the monkey while it was talking, until the monkey finished telling its whole story, and then he just copied it and told his own story."
The other party's words sounded quite normal, but compared to the details of the monkey and Jiang Min, the other party's description was far too simplistic.
Jiang Min also noticed this, but he wasn't sure what the purpose of this disguise was, so he pretended not to notice.
However, he discovered it in a simpler and more direct way—he figured it out himself—it was the ability of his seemingly broken eye.
After they finished discussing it, the two left the shop.
He Yuxing had been standing at the store entrance. When he saw Cen Yu come out, he immediately went to greet him. Cen Yu's head seemed to be tired, and he was now obediently holding it in his arms.
"Are you planning to carry this head all the way?" Jiang Min asked.
"Let's see if she comes back to life tomorrow." Cen Yu was referring to the next day's business hours.
The team members returned to their shop, while Cen Yu and He Yuxing carried the head back to the DVD store... When it was 9 o'clock again at the DVD store, the head in He Yuxing's hand had disappeared again.
Then, the familiar young couple appeared in the store.
The man's appearance was completely unremarkable; he had a face exactly like the one in the photograph. He looked at the girl beside him, and no one would guess that he was a nobleman from District One.
This time, they walked up to Cen Yu with the discs in their hands. "Boss, we've come to return the discs," the girl said to Cen Yu.
Cen Yu stood behind the counter looking at him, "Was the movie scary?"
"It's alright," the girl said, and then she told Cen Yu about the movie's plot—
The male protagonist, who has been troubled by the sound of wind chimes, later discovers that the source of the sound is a human head, and the owner of the head is someone he knows well—his girlfriend who went missing three weeks ago.
The other party has become a mindless human head wind chime, which comes to him every night to seek revenge. The male protagonist can't fall asleep every day, and his dreams are always filled with scenes of him and his girlfriend.
The male protagonist is determined to find out the truth behind his girlfriend turning into a human head wind chime, but in the process of searching for the truth, he discovers that he is the murderer.
"What a charade!" the girl said to Cen Yu. "They set up so much in the beginning, only to tell everyone in the end that the male protagonist has a split personality. The scenes he saw in his dreams, which he thought were his girlfriend conveying information about being murdered, were all his own memories."
"What was the final outcome?" Cen Yu asked.
"He's dead," the girl said uncertainly. "It seems that the human head wind chime eventually strangled the male protagonist with its hair. The male protagonist's other personality was about to come out to stop it, but it was held down by the main personality."
Cen Yu's gaze lingered on the girl's face for a moment, then turned to the man, who then told him the plot of the romance movie.
"The female lead actually rejected the CEO's helicopter offer in the end," he said incredulously. "She said she would still choose her boyfriend."
"Then I went back to my hometown with my boyfriend."
“Boss, this movie is really weird,” the girl said to Cen Yu. “The town they returned to is almost identical to this street.”
She pointed to the newspaper on the blackboard in front of Cen Yu's counter, "This newspaper also appeared at the end, reminding everyone to be careful of unscrupulous factories and the total solar eclipse."
Seeing this, her boyfriend hesitated and said to Cen Yu, "Boss, if you haven't seen this movie, then don't watch it."
“I have a feeling this movie is weird, it’s probably really haunted.” He said to Cen Yu seriously, “At the end of the movie, when they were reading the newspaper together, ghostly figures actually appeared on the street, it was really scary!”
"I feel like if they make a second one, it'll probably turn into a horror movie."
As they talked, they deftly returned the disc to Cen Yu and then paid the corresponding rental fee.
Cen Yu returned their deposit to them; they didn't rent any new discs this time... As Cen Yu saw the girl push open the door, he asked, "Will you come again tomorrow?"
“We’re not coming,” the girl said, turning to Cen Yu. “We’re going to the edge of the digital zone.”
"There's a dungeon raid group recruiting members there."
As she spoke, she pushed open the door and waved to Cen Yu. Her boyfriend nodded back to Cen Yu, and the two of them left the DVD shop on the shopping street.
He Yuxing remained silent until he noticed that Cen Yu looked down at the disc in his hand after the two left.
Then she turned to him and asked, "Want to see or not?"
He Yuxing would not refuse any of his requests, let alone something as trivial as this.
The store was still open, so the street outside looked normal. They turned on the somewhat retro DVD player—He Yuxing was completely bewildered and had no idea how it worked.
