Chapter 166: 165.He didn’t understand, but he was greatly shocked_1

The movie ended, and many audience mbers remained seated, not getting up but listening to the ending the song.

The na of the song was also “Cry,” sung by a gentle female voice in the most tender tone, voicing the most desperate lyrics.

If you just listened to the lyrics of the song, you would find them poignant and lodious, but after watching the movie and understanding the background of the song, it took on a profound aning, filled with a mother’s boundless love for her unborn child, who even in death was still cherished, with a hope to exchange her own life for his health.

Bai Qiquan was not fond of lodramatic movies; he found most of them quite awkward. Resonance was sothing that couldn’t be forced. He was still a college student who had grown up safely, and his family was all alive; he could not comprehend the grief of parting with life and death.

Yet, this movie was different. In just over ninety minutes, it felt as if he had personally experienced all the eerie incidents in the hospital, to the point where when the mother, whose na he didn’t know, shared her story, Bai Qiquan felt as if he shared her pain.

He didn’t understand, but he was greatly shaken.

He could only attribute it to the Director’s excellent filmmaking, and the Actor’s strong foundation in delivering lines.

Nowadays, many Actors have poor basic skills in delivering lines, speaking as if their voices were pinched, with no variation in tone, making it better to listen to a machine speak than them.

This was also why so movies and TV shows, even though they were perford in Common, needed to be dubbed.

The movie ended, and sowhat disappointingly, there was no post-credit scene.

As the audience mbers started to leave, the problem erged.

Many people couldn’t stand up.

So, like Bai Qiquan, had been scared stiff with nerves so tense that their legs went numb, while others, like Pang Zhen, had been frightened into a jelly and had weak legs.

So, in fact, it wasn’t that everyone genuinely wanted to listen to the whole ending song and were deeply moved by it.

It was for physiological reasons.

After a good while, so people stood up, supporting themselves on the chairs as they walked towards the exit.

Bai Qiquan and his girlfriend also waited for a while, and after recovering, they walked towards the outside.

The mall had already closed for the day, and the dim lighting made the bustling shops of the dayti seem sowhat eerie; the people leaving the cinema divided into two groups and blocked the exit.

One group was headed to the restroom, as almost no one dared to go to the bathroom alone during the movie, resulting in a particularly large number of people, especially won, heading there after the film ended.

The other group was sowhat comical, as they were afraid to walk through the already closed mall.

“Do we really have to walk through here? Is there no other way?”

“Are we going to have to take the elevator downstairs later? That’s kind of scary.”

“Can’t the property managent turn on so lights? What if we trip and fall in the dark?”

A group of people in their twenties were actually afraid to walk through the dimly lit mall to take the elevator; Bai Qiquan found it a bit amusing.

At that mont, a voice spoke up.

“How can people your age get so scared?”

It was a rather tall young man who had co to watch the movie with his friends and called out when he saw a group of people blocking the cinema entrance.

“Then you go first,” soone next to him chid in.

“Sure, I’ll go.”

The young man and his friend moved forward into the mall, which wasn’t all that dark.

Seeing the two leave, the other viewers seed to regain their composure and prepared to depart.

Just then, a sudden scream rang out from ahead, sending a jolt through everyone.

There, the two n who had boldly gone ahead were seen running back in panic, tumbling and scrambling, completely devoid of their earlier bravery.

“It seems, it seems like there really is sothing…”

The once fearless young man’s voice trembled as he pointed towards the corner ahead.

Everyone gasped.

“Should we go back and find security to co with us?”

Soone suggested.

As people who had gone to the restroom returned, the crowd at the entrance of the movie theater grew larger. So curious onlookers even took out their phones to record videos and uploaded them to Weibo or tomorrow’s online short video accounts.

Bai Qiquan thought for a mont. Although he wasn’t very scared, his girlfriend clearly did not want to take the elevator down at this ti.

Moreover, after what happened to those two guys earlier, those who were originally a bit hesitant beca even more reluctant to go downstairs.

So things are better believed to be true!

He had no choice but to turn back and re-enter the movie theater.

There was no midnight showing here, and the employees were getting ready to clean up.

Bai Qiquan found one of the employees and asked,

“Could you lend us a high-powered flashlight?”

“What do you need a flashlight for? There should still be lights outside, right?”

The employee was puzzled.

“Everyone… everyone got scared by the movie and doesn’t dare to go downstairs.”

Bai Qiquan explained, embarrassed.

The employee looked at him with a strange look, then turned to the other spectators gathered outside.

“Wait here.”

He went to the storage room and brought out a flashlight.

“I’ll take you guys downstairs.”

In the end, the very professional employee led the way, finally getting the group of moviegoers, who were shaking with fear, out of the shopping mall.

“Can you all get ho on your own? I’m not responsible for taking you ho, you know,” he joked.

This experience was naturally captured by soone and uploaded online.

The employee found it strange. When he returned to the movie theater, his colleagues had packed up almost everything, leaving him to be the last to leave. After thinking about it, he beca curious about how scary this movie was that made the audience afraid even to go down a floor?

He went to the employees’ rest area, pulled up the film, and decided to watch it before heading ho.

That night, topics related to “Cry” quietly began to fernt on Weibo.

Apart from Bai Qiquan’s showing, other showings of “Cry” also encountered various problems.

For instance, in one show, a parent, despite the staff’s dissuasion, insisted on taking their child, who had just started elentary school, to see this film. The child ended up crying hysterically and had to be taken out of the cinema.

In another case, an audience mber who went to the restroom midway locked themselves inside and cried uncontrollably, and it wasn’t until much later that they were rescued by the staff. During that ti, several people who went to the restroom were frightened.

Yet another showing started with a couple arguing, disturbing the other viewers, but as they continued to watch, the noise stopped. When the film ended, the couple had made up.

But a collective descent into fear, preventing the audience from leaving like Bai Qiquan’s showing, was rare.

The young people who couldn’t muster the energy for classes or work during the day but sprung to life scrolling through their phones at night couldn’t resist such stories.

That very night, the tickets for “Cry” the following day, and especially for the latest midnight showing, were booked solid.

Many people wanted to see for themselves how terrifying a movie that could scare viewers like this could be!
