Chapter 210: 209. Crack Rule_1
“The rules of ‘Terror Cinema’ are simple; we must sit here and watch the movie, we can’t choose not to listen or watch until the projection ends. If we’re still alive by then, we can escape from here.”
“At the sa ti, the movie will play out horror events with us as the main characters. If we beco shaken and react as characters in a horror movie would, then we’ll be influenced by the movie’s plot and get hurt.”
“While being hurt, our seats will move forward, and with each movent forward, the pain gets worse. Perhaps, when the seat moves to the first row, sothing irreversible will happen.”
“We can do other things, like chat like we are doing now, as long as the reaction isn’t prompted by the stimulation from the movie, then we won’t get hurt.”
“Like in the movie, when I suddenly stood up, Remington turned his head because of that, so he received punishnt. But Feng Yu, on his own will, stood up and therefore wasn’t punished.”
Lu Ban summarized simply. He glanced at the big screen, where several people were still seated in their chairs, sothing seed to flash behind them, but everyone was focused on listening to Lu Ban’s words and didn’t pay too much attention to the plot of the movie.
“But we still have to sit here and watch this… movie before we can leave safely, right?”
The wound on Remington’s hand had stopped bleeding, seemingly through so special thod.
Lu Ban didn’t know whether Hei Tower taught magic, he only knew that Hei Tower had a Dinsional Stealth Technique, and so tools for assassination and concealnt, as well as a bit of history of Hei Tower from the items in the Silent Departnt Store.
What Remington ant was, as long as they were watching the movie, they would inevitably be affected by what’s shown on the screen, and step by step, fall into the trap.
There’s no way in this world to both watch and not watch a movie at the sa ti.
“Actually, there is.”
As he spoke, Lu Ban pulled out his phone.
He took advantage of Remington’s distraction and fired a shot from “Testant” at his phone.
The phone imdiately burst into a youthful and joyful song.
“Good Fortune Cos wishes you good fortune, good fortune brings happiness and love…”
It was “Good Fortune Cos”.
Remington and Zi Tang evidently heard this song for the first ti.
The two looked at each other, only understanding that it was a very festive song.
“Does this song have so extraordinary power to dispel evil?”
Remington asked, so mages in Gray Tower did focus on music magic and could use magic through music. Could this man also have a similar skill?
Zi Tang didn’t dare to speak, fearing she would invite more misfortune. She crossed her arms, listening to the joyful ballad, but couldn’t feel happy at all.
“No, it’s just a plain song.”
Lu Ban denied flatly.
“The scary plot, after all, relies on the creation of an atmosphere. When the background music of a horror movie is replaced by a happy song, no matter what appears, it won’t scare anyone. Don’t believe ? Watch.”
He pointed at the movie screen.
Remington and Zi Tang looked over.
On the big screen, that figure with a stitched face and a sharp knife in hand ca into the auditorium again, moving inch by inch, heading towards their position.
Remington imdiately held his breath subconsciously, scared of being discovered by the figure.
Even if he was told that the movie was an illusion, and there was no such serial killer in reality, Remington would still react instinctively.
But…
“Good Fortune Cos wishes you good fortune, good fortune brings happiness and love…”
The woman’s singing turned the killer’s movents into sothing comically absurd, especially since several tis, its footsteps landed exactly on the beat of the song, making it look very funny. Remington didn’t understand why, but he felt significantly less fearful, until he saw the figure approach and raise the sharp knife in its hand.
“Good Fortune Cos wishes you good fortune, good fortune brings happiness and love…”
Remington couldn’t help but sing along with Lu Ban’s phone, he watched as the sharp knife slashed at his throat in tune with “Good Fortune Cos,” but in reality, nothing happened.
Influenced by Remington, Zi Tang also started to sing along. She seed to have a good grasp of music theory, her singing was much better than Remington’s out-of-tune belting, and she quickly caught the lody to produce a rather pleasant singing voice.
For a mont, the song from “Good Fortune Cos” echoed through the horror cinema.
“…I thought you would use sothing more… extraordinary?”
Feng Yu was obviously taken aback by the current situation.
“The best way to eliminate fear is to face it. Actually, I ca to this conclusion because I’ve been studying the corresponding theories and psychology,” Lu Ban said as he started humming the lody of “Good Fortune Cos” himself.
The atmosphere in the cinema beca sowhat strange.
On the big screen, scenes of Lu Ban and the others horrified and tornted by ghosts were playing, but in reality, the three of them were engaged in a chorus, even harmonizing. Feng Yu couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight.
“You really are an interesting guy,” she said with a laugh.
When the film finally ended after an indeterminate amount of ti, the characters on the screen had t a grueso end, but the people sitting in the cinema were singing joyfully.
Lu Ban had also taught them many Spring Festival songs; it’s just uncertain whether these songs could thrive in the Foreign Domain.
Music knows no boundaries!
As the screen went dark, in Remington’s eyes, the system’s cold and indifferent text was projected onto the cloth.
[Task Completed]
[Choose to Return]
He didn’t make a choice imdiately but glanced at Lu Ban and Feng Yu.
“Thank you both for this ti… I hope to et again… no, let’s not et again,” Remington said.
He certainly didn’t want to co back to this unreasonable world again.
He gradually faded into the air.
As for Zi Tang, after giving a formal thanks to Lu Ban and Feng Yu, she also left this world.
“So this is the special effect for leaving the Foreign Domain,” Lu Ban murmured to himself as he watched the two becoming transparent, disappearing from the air, and eventually as if they had never appeared at all.
He suddenly noticed the atmosphere around him changing.
The empty screening room was gone, replaced by a full audience.
On the big screen, the dragon symbol had just appeared, and “Cry” had not yet started.
“We really ca back.”
Lu Ban felt like he had also been through a task.
But compared to the previous one, this task was obviously a lot simpler.
For Lu Ban, any event you can ‘Good Fortune Cos’ your way through is no big deal.
He turned to look at Feng Yu beside him, but this woman seed to have fallen asleep at so point, her head leaning on the couch, looking always so peaceful.
Lu Ban was starting to grasp why Feng Yu wanted him to co today.
At least Lu Ban now knew where exactly the extraordinary lay in this world, and those strange beings that acted according to their own rules might just appear right beside him.
“So, was she reminding ?”
Lu Ban realized belatedly as he looked at the sleeping Feng Yu.
He also felt that this woman might have just brought him along for fun to watch the commotion because she had encountered the task from Silent Lands.
