Chapter 14: Dong Qi’s reasoning verification
At this point, they all began to feel that the screening room was becoming colder and colder. Qiao Bi, who was sitting not far from Dong Xie, had gotten so cold that she had begun to clasp her hands to her shoulders. At this point in the movie screen, the plot was still proceeding methodically. Xiao Zhi woke up again after sleeping just now, but he seemed to be a bit more refreshed. "Hm?" "What's wrong? Ah Yun?" Xiao Zhi looked towards the other side again and said, "I don't see Zhang Yuan, huh?" "Xiao Si?" Mu Aishan also looked towards that and said, "Yes oh, she's not here? I'll go ask." Mu Aishan walked over to the second and third, then asked, "Wasn't Xiao Si sitting in front of you before? Where is she? Left first?" "Her?" The oldest two smiled coldly and said, "Should have gone to get her hair done." "That late? Where would you go to get your hair done? I don't see any hairdressers around here either." Lao Er instantly stifled a laugh and said, "Alas, I say Ning Ning, don't you usually go online? Don't you know that getting your hair done is already a terrier?" When Mu Aishan heard this, she first froze, then realized, "No?" "She just sent you a red packet, right? Hmph, caught a kaiju, couldn't even wait for the movie to end and went out directly." Hearing this, Mu Aishan revealed a rather puzzled look, it was obvious that she was starting to feel that something wasn't right. "Not quite right, this isn't like Xiao Si's style. Inside the dormitory, she and I are the closest, it doesn't make sense for her to leave without even saying anything to me." "Doing this kind of shameless thing, where would she have the cheek to say it to you?" "Strange, I'll give her a call." After that, Mu Aishan took out her cell phone, and with her back to the movie screen, she took out her phone and started dialing. However, after dialing out, naturally, no one answered. Of course, every resident knew very well that the cell phone was now outside. Mu Aisan held the cell phone in her hand, her face growing more and more puzzled. "Why don't you answer the phone?" "Couldn't care less." The oldest two's face was even more mocking at this point: "Ning Ning, you don't know what others say about Zhang Yuan, on the surface she's a high-cooled goddess, but in her bones, she's a gold-worshipping green tea. Her off-campus boyfriend, I'm afraid there's a piece of Hulunbeier Prairie above his head. As a fellow man, I quite sympathize with him." "Is that so?" Mu Aisan sighed and said, "Well, you guys don't say that harshly, this is also Xiao Si's personal private life. She and I are old folks, and she usually takes special care of me inside the dormitory, to me, she's a good friend." At this time, no one could see the movie screen of the movie-within-a-movie, or even hear the voice-over. And Mu Aisan, full of doubts, returned to Xiao Zhi's side and said, "Xiao Si seems to be gone. I've called and tweeted, but I haven't heard back. Now it's raining so heavily outside, where could she run to?" "This, she's an adult too, right?" "I'm still worried." Mu Aisan showed very good acting skills at this time, her face showed a very worried look, "It's raining so hard, and this neighborhood is very remote, it seems like she went off with a man? I'm afraid she's being cheated." "No way?" "Usually within the dormitory she really takes care of me quite well, now just like this unexplainedly leave ……" "Should not be." Xiao Zhi persuaded, "She is the initiative and people go, I think not to accident." "The words are so said …… always a little relieved." "She really left, you also do not know where to find her to go is not it? It should be fine." Time passed quickly, 50 minutes had passed since the Bloodletter mission started. And right now, none of the eight occupants had died yet. Dong Qi stared at the male and female protagonists on the movie screen with a deadpan, could it be that the evil spirits wouldn't come out yet until they killed all the people inside? Just at this time, Xiao Zhi suddenly opened his eyes wide, looked at the movie screen in front of him, and said, "Eh? What's going on here?" Mu Aishan also looked at the screen, and then the camera shifted to the movie-within-a-movie screen, and all that could be seen was that the male protagonist's neck was entangled by a strand of hair, and then was slowly hoisted up! The male lead struggled for a long time, and then, he didn't move. Looking at the male lead hanging there like this and never moving again, Xiao Zhi looked at his cell phone and said: ''This …… is still early from the end of the movie, right? The male lead is taking the fall here?" "Yes, it doesn't make sense. The beginning of the movie has been entirely from the male lead's point of view until now?" Just at this time, Dong Qi suddenly realized that Mu Aishan's hands began to clasp her shoulders and her body began to tremble. "I say, does …… feel that it's getting colder and colder?" Looking at her current appearance, Dong Xie instead felt creeped out! Not only that, the occupants beside him were just as scared. Especially Qiao Bi, she even cried out in shock. Mo Yuan also felt this coldness just the same, and his face grew grimmer and grimmer. Dong Xie clenched his fists tightly together, what exactly did this repeated synchronization inside and outside the movie mean? He even began to wonder if the situation outside the screening hall was the same as that inside the movie, that there was no one there as well (he had indeed not guessed wrongly)? "Dong, Dong Evil ……" Zhang Lun, who was sitting next to Dong Evil, lowered his voice and said, "That …… you stretch your feet back a bit, I want to go to the back of the ……" Obviously, Zhang Lun felt that by walking to the back, he might be a little safer. However, this approach was new and innovative, but instead, it was more likely to be noticed by the evil spirits thus making him the first to be killed. However, Dong Xie was not their babysitter, and since someone wanted to die, he was fine with it. "Fine." Mo Yuan then obediently came to sit beside Dong Xie. "Mo Yuan, why don't you consider leaving?" Dong Xie persuaded at this time, "I think this evil spirit is not your girlfriend, I'm afraid. It's just that it just so happens that Xiao Dai is starring in this movie." "Since I'm all here, I won't leave in the middle, I want to be sure until the end." Mo Yuan, however, remained adamant: "In addition, Dong Qi, after hearing about your first Bloodletter experience, I actually share the same opinion as Qin Ziyuan. You are a very promising resident, and many people performing their first Bloodletter are by no means as outstanding as you are." Dong Xie froze. Ever since he was a child, even his own father had seldom used such a high evaluation as "outstanding" to judge himself. His stepmother had often praised him, but he had always felt that she was simply trying to please his father, or that as a stepmother, she was unable to criticize her own position. "Believe in yourself, you can do it." Dong Xie took a deep breath, hearing Mo Yuan's words made his heart sink even deeper. His clenched fists began to loosen, and then, he realized that he was beginning to relax like never before. This kind of emotion had never existed before in the past. He was now in a gambling table where the opposite side was death. "Mo Yuan, I generally understand what you mean. The more places inside the movie, as well as outside …… the same, the more likely it is to mislead us instead, giving us the illusion that 'what will happen inside the movie and outside will be the same'." Mo Yuan nodded and said, "That's not hard to comprehend. The key is to see where the problem is." "This well ……" Dong Xie did have some ideas of his own. If it was to mislead them and give them an illusion, then the purpose of the misdirection would be to make them trigger a dead end, or to fail to notice the true path to life. The former words represent that this misdirection will make them do a particular behavior, and the latter represents finding out that the misdirection could be the true path to life if they do the opposite. The key, not what's the same, but …… what's not. "Current inconsistencies inside and outside the movie ……" There are inconsistencies inside and outside the movie, for sure. It was just that those tiny inconsistencies weren't enough to mislead the occupants into any behavior. And the one that most caught Dong Qi's attention was …… "The screening room ……" The next thing that happened was that Dong Xie actually said those three words in unison with Mo Yuan! This was the biggest inconsistency! In the movie, the currently dead Xiao Si died outside the screening room. However, the Bloodletter mission restricts the occupants from leaving the screening hall. Why is this? Dong Evil always felt that there was a big mystery. The scene outside the screening hall appeared many times in the movie, but in reality, the occupants were unable to leave the screening hall. "Mo Yuan, you are able to leave the screening hall, why don't you go and see if there are any staff members outside." Dong Xie then made a decision, "This way …… will be able to verify one thing, the evil spirit's range of activity, whether or not it can go beyond the screening hall!"
