No wonder none of the five movies are horror films!
Absolutely not!
Cheng Shuang quietly wiped the sweat from her forehead, turned around, and found herself in complete darkness, only vaguely seeing two dark shadows among the last row of mannequins.
It seems that the matter of the ringing bell did not alarm Uncle Du.
She remembered that Uncle Du had a habit of wearing a watch, so they probably wouldn't take out their phones to check the time midway through the trip.
The young girl felt relieved, but the lingering sweet taste of popcorn in her mouth made her anxious again. Although the staff checking tickets handled the food gently and didn't target her further, she wondered if there would be any side effects.
Fortunately, she wasn't the type to overthink things, and she focused her attention back on the film itself.
At this point, the plot has progressed to the point where the female lead and the male lead are discussing divorce, the two companies under the male lead's name are split into two, and the female lead becomes the sole boss of the company where her best friend's mistress works.
The scandal involving the three caused a huge uproar, with the best friend, the mistress, and the male protagonist being fiercely criticized by netizens. Of course, there were also a few sympathetic individuals who supported the idea that true love is innocent.
The female supporting character didn't dare to resign easily. She had just learned that the female lead had the leverage that she had had an abortion for her ex-boyfriend when she was in college, so naturally she didn't dare to confront the male lead.
Up to this point, the plot mainly revolves around the female lead torturing and taking revenge on the female supporting character. The female supporting character goes from being a high-ranking official to a lowly errand girl in the company, running around every day to atone for the female lead's sins. She has to drive dozens of kilometers away to a 24-hour restaurant to get a small bowl of porridge for the female lead after a phone call in the middle of the night, satisfying all kinds of unreasonable and willful demands of the female lead. She is also humiliated by having documents slapped in her face in public, and so on.
Cheng Shuang rubbed her eyes in boredom, trying to keep herself from falling asleep. She wasn't the only one as bored as she was.
Not long after, the little girl heard snoring coming from the seat in front of her.
"Anzi!" Apra called softly to his companion, who was slumped in a chair, drooling in his sleep, but no matter how he called, there was no response.
Apra's face turned ashen. If she didn't wake Anzi, something bad would definitely happen. If she woke him up... given his petty nature, she wouldn't get away with it either. After thinking for a few seconds with her eyes lowered, Apra finally gritted her teeth and chose to raise her hand.
He raised his hand halfway before the boy next to him stopped him in time.
Apra turned around, puzzled, and asked, "Longduo, why are you stopping me?"
Long Duo shook his head and pointed to the wall next to the screen.
There was a sign hanging there with several rows of small characters written on it.
Even with their sharp eyesight, it was difficult for them to see clearly, let alone Cheng Shuang, who was sitting in the middle, and the Du brothers at the back.
Cheng Shuang, who had been observing the three of them because of the snoring, naturally didn't miss Long Duo's movements. She looked into the distance and pouted helplessly; it was too far away to see anything.
When the movie starts, the lights go out, and everyone is too busy looking for their seats to observe the theater environment. By the time they find their seats, the lights are off, and they can only get a general idea of what's going on. Some details are likely to be missed.
That sign is definitely one of the details.
The little girl shook her arm, shaking off the slumbering monster that was sleeping on her arm. She pointed to the sign next to the screen, and the slumbering monster floated over with its head drooping.
The sound of yawning could be heard from time to time.
Cheng Shuang spared some attention for it, but spent most of her time staring at the screen. The more she looked, the more familiar it seemed, especially the storage rack for packages at the entrance of the female lead's company after its renovation, and the large open-plan office behind it.
When the camera panned to a workstation, the young woman was absolutely certain that this was the company where she had been trapped after entering this death trap.
So the administrative staff is the female supporting character/mistress, and the beautiful boss is the divorced female lead?
What a coincidence!
After the zombie floated back, it brought her four rules for the screening room.
First, please ensure a quiet viewing environment and turn off or silence your mobile phone.
Secondly, please eat the food sold in the cinema; outside food is not allowed.
Third, please keep the screening room clean and take your trash with you when you leave.
Fourth, please actively cooperate with the staff's questions to enhance your viewing experience.
Finally, there is a red warning: If the cinema rules are violated, the cinema will not be liable for any subsequent compensation.
The fourth point and this sentence completely caught Cheng Shuang's attention.
Why ask questions after watching a movie? It's not like we're film school students writing movie reviews. And the red warning is vague, with a clause about compensation afterward. Why compensation afterward? What is there to compensate for?
The little girl soon realized what compensation she needed to pay.
Suddenly, a commotion erupted from the back seat, so loud that it overpowered Anzi's snoring.
Someone was vomiting violently, and a strange, unpleasant smell filled the enclosed screening room.
The voice was definitely not that of the Du brothers; it had the distinctive shrill tone and exaggerated manner of a plastic man, "Baby, what's wrong? You...you vomited blood?"
It burst into a series of wailing cries, looking like a vomiting plastic doll that was terminally ill.
The ticket inspectors moved extremely quickly, each carrying a pair of pliers that were half a person's height, and walked menacingly toward the back row.
The large pincers gleamed with a cold, sharp light in the darkness.
A low gasp came from the plastic figure in the back row. A large clamp gripped the head of the plastic moviegoer who was vomiting, forcefully lifting it up and soaring over several rows of seats. The plastic figure's head was slowly flattened, and foul-smelling vomit continued to fall down, eliciting gasps of dissatisfaction from the other plastic figures.
Seeing the route it was taking, Cheng Shuang felt something was wrong. She immediately held her breath and quickly put on an extra-large, thick disposable raincoat. As the plastic figure swung its two plastic legs over her head, a bunch of indescribable, cold, and damp stuff fell onto the raincoat.
It smells so bad it hurts my eyes.
The little girl regretted choosing a seat near the door for the first time, and sat frozen in her seat, gagging and crying.
I feel like killing those plastic mannequins! I want to fight them to the death!
Unable to find any trouble with her, she resorts to disgusting people. This wanderer from the land of death is really shameless!
Wearing gloves, Cheng Shuang carefully took off her thick raincoat and crumpled it into a garbage bag. Fortunately, the plastic man didn't have a normal digestive system, so the vomit was mostly solid food and drinks stuck together, making the smell even more unbearable than its appearance.
After spraying a lot more cleaning agent on herself, she suddenly remembered Anzi who was snoring. But by then, it was too late. Another plastic worker holding large pliers went straight to the front row.
Cheng Shuang hurriedly ordered Sang Sang Guai to the back row and informed the Du brothers of the four rules and warnings. As for An Zi, who was snoring away... the little girl silently covered her eyes. The scene was cruel and not suitable for viewers under the age of eighteen.
"Anzi!" Apra's voice came from the darkness, but it seemed to be covered by someone.
The stench was thick with the smell of blood, and between the fingers, a head was crushed to pieces by a large pair of pliers.
Cheng Shuang never imagined that Anzi's companion would actually watch him die...
