Chapter 077: You Want to Kill Me
The movie screen moved,
The grayish-white tone, occasionally stuttering, as if something had affected it.
Finally,
The colors slowly returned, with gray turning into a hint of yellow, followed by a burst of colorful hues, the screen becoming colorful, but the texture and tone seemed to have traveled back twenty years.
"Whew…"
The sound of wind.
Blue sky and white clouds appeared, and with the change of the camera, an aerial view of a school was fully revealed.
High school,
All six audience members present were very familiar with each other.
"This is what reminiscing about youth is like! Wasn't that style just now deliberately trying to provoke us?"
At this moment, a young male audience member couldn't help but comment.
He really thought he had walked into the wrong film set and had ended up in a currently popular horror movie.
A few people chuckled knowingly. They too had been worried, fearing the video might actually turn out to be a horror film.
The scene zoomed in on a quiet, I-shaped teaching building. In the central courtyard, there was a playground, basketball court, and tennis court all present.
Many students in school uniforms were strolling along the campus's tree-lined paths, with bursts of youthful, joyous laughter echoing occasionally.
This was youth.
This was a movie that truly embodied the theme of youth.
The scene then shifted to the teaching building.
Inside an empty classroom, gentle sunlight from the setting sun poured in, while a breeze rustled through the light curtains. A black-haired girl sat quietly by the window, her gaze focused on a book in her hands. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the soft sound of pages turning echoed intermittently.
The heroine.
There was no doubt that she was the heroine.
So, where is the male lead?
The black-haired girl stood up and left the classroom. She went to the exit of the building, opened the shoe cabinet, and prepared to leave.
But a letter appeared.
The audience immediately recognized it.
Many of them had experienced this themselves, or at least seen it happen.
Especially Ryou Fujibayashi she had indeed received quite a few love letters and confessions. However, once she entered nursing school, it stopped. After all, nursing school was all girls, and there were no boys writing love letters.
"Ah, nostalgia," Ryou Fujibayashi thought.
The black-haired girl opened the envelope and read the letter.
Until she disappeared, there was still no sound, except for some occasional voiceovers it almost felt like a silent film.
The scene switched again.
It was still the black-haired girl. Her figure appeared in the classroom.
Following her line of sight, the camera zoomed in, and a figure appeared.
A male.
"This is probably the male lead," someone in the audience murmured.
But it was only a silhouette.
The perspective shifted to a first-person view, clearly showing the beautiful face of the black-haired girl and her youthful, graceful appearance.
The conversation began, though it was silent only the girl's red lips moved, her eyes increasingly revealing a look of disdain.
"Whoosh..."
For the first time, a heavy background sound appeared.
The camera pulled back, trembling a few steps.
The male lead had been pushed away.
Was there a fight?
The audience wondered.
In the next moment, the camera quickly zoomed in, and a piercing whistling sound rang out.
"Thud..."
The black-haired girl collapsed in response.
"Thud..."
"Thud..."
With each heavy thud, red blood splattered, and the pure girl's form fell to the ground, staining it with blood.
"What's going on?"
"Did she just get murdered?"
"Did the heroine just die?"
...
The audience was completely stunned.
'Shh shh shh...'
'Shh shh shh...'
The noise buzzed and crackled.
"No one noticed,"
"There's no way anyone noticed."
A hoarse voice echoed.
"Don't you think so?"
In an instant, the screen only showed a pair of cold, bloodthirsty eyes staring... at the audience, as if watching them in person.
"Ahhh..."
"What the hell, what the hell..."
Suddenly, the bloody eyes on the screen shocked the audience. In the back row, a young woman jumped into her boyfriend's arms, trembling, and Ryou Fujibayashi wasn't much better. Her body instinctively reacted faster, and she grabbed onto Lin Ye's left arm tightly, her heart racing and her back cold with fear.
"Lin, Lin-kun... did you... did you see this before?"
Otherwise, how could he have warned her in advance?
Lin Ye shrugged.
If this was all, they were lucky.
Perhaps... the eerie, strange task was just beginning.
"What kind of movie is this?"
"Did the cinema play the wrong film?"
"I'm going to file a complaint,"
...
'Zzzt zzzt...'
With the flicker of electricity, the screen suddenly went blank, and the theater was instantly plunged into darkness. Everyone found themselves in pitch black, unable to see anything.
Only the sensation of physical contact remained, still confirming the presence of those around them.
"Hey, hey, hey, did the power go out?"
"What's going on? I'm never coming to this cinema again."
"Refund, ten times compensation,"
...
The only one who remained calm was probably Lin Ye.
He also used time-stop, but noticed nothing had changed. He tried moving and realized he couldn't get out.
So,
He would have to accept the changes brought on by this eerie, infected object.
"Whoosh!"
In the blink of an eye, dazzling light appeared, blinding his eyes with pain.
Lin Ye instinctively squinted and raised his right hand to shield his eyes from the harsh light.
When his eyes adjusted and refocused, the scene revealed a classroom.
Lin Ye quickly looked around. Standing next to him was Ryou Fujibayashi, her purple shoulder-length hair now still closed-eye, her left hand shielding herself from the intense light, still recovering.
The rest were cinema-goers four people in total, three men and one woman.
After a moment,
They recovered.
"Where is this?"
"I remember we were in the cinema!"
"This looks like a school, but why does it feel so familiar?"
...
With these words, the others began to notice the familiar sensation.
"This... this looks like the school from the video we just watched!"
"It really does... Did we... did we cross into the movie world?"
"You must be joking, right? Who's playing a prank?"
As the unfamiliar, increasingly sinister atmosphere spread, panic began to set in.
"That's... that's not... the heroine..."
At this moment,
Everyone finally noticed a black-haired girl sitting quietly in the first seat of the front row.
It seemed like she had heard the women's worried, tense voices, as she slowly turned around.
"Do you... want to kill me?"
"Mm?"
In the next second,
A face, covered in blood and hideous scars, appeared in everyone's view.
"Ahhh..."
Screams erupted again.
"Ghost!"
In an instant,
The fear in the theater was fully ignited.
The silence was shattered.
Suddenly, the sound of running footsteps and terrified screams filled the air.
