Chapter 008: The Truth and the Executor
Howl
Dong!
Pass! Pass! Pass ... ... !
The train seems as if it does not belong to this world, leaving no trace behind. However, unbeknownst to many, everyone or everything that has been crushed by it today will encounter accidents in the years to come, and not a single person will be able to escape
Where am I?
After asking this question, Zhang Fengyu suddenly recalled the incident where Wang Li was swapped by a ghost, and a deep fear instantly appeared on his face. The previous events had evidently pushed Zhang Fengyu's nerves to the breaking point. If the few people in front of him were to suddenly transform into vengeful spirits, Zhang Fengyu was certain that he would not even need to wait for the ghost to kill him; he would be scared to death on the spot!

This man appears to be in his thirties. Although he has no beard on his face, it is marked by a look of deep sorrow. To describe him more accurately, one could say he has a face like a bitter melon. However, the inexplicable aura that emanates from his voice leaves Zhang Fengyu feeling a sense of shock.
Zhang Fengyu was violently knocked away by this punch; as he felt dizzy and disoriented, he also sensed that two of his teeth had been knocked out of his mouth
A train connected to only one carriage is racing forward somewhere in this world. This ordinary-looking dark green train has unexpectedly arrived on a bustling street, where countless streams of people and vehicles are flowing. All are swept past by this train, yet its passage is as imperceptible as air, leaving no trace whatsoever. Soon, the train has crossed the street and vanished into thin air at high speed. Strangely, from its appearance to its disappearance, not a single person noticed it, and naturally, no one knows the train's destination.
All of this, in fact, serves as a hint to them, representing hidden clues that reveal to them why they would ultimately bring about their own demise. Could a person possess such immense power? Everything is conveying to them that only a ghost could accomplish this
Later, Zhao Jinglan also thought of this point, but he misunderstood it. The fact that each person who dies reappears in their seat serves as a clue provided by the rules. Since the person has already been killed yet appears before them, it clearly indicates that they are ghosts, and it hints to them that the ghosts are actually themselves. The most direct statement is found in a line from the movie, which mentions viewing things through the lens of idealism. This line directly suggests that the ghosts are indeed in their hearts.
And as long as a few individuals enter the cinema with that promotional flyer, it is equivalent to bringing the ghost into the cinema. Without the promotional flyer, the ghost can only follow behind and cannot hide within the bodies of the crowd
When Zhang Fengyu shouted out his answer, his body completely lost control, and he could only stand there quietly. The black movie promotional flyer that he had originally placed on himself seemed to be controlled by someone, as it floated out of his pocket and came directly in front of him. At this moment, Zhang Fengyu was already so frightened that he was nearly suffocating, and upon witnessing such a terrifying scene, he believed in his heart that he had made the wrong choice and that he was going to die
Wang Li's expression has now become extremely ferocious. Originally, his eyes, which were the size of a slit, suddenly bulged out, with blood flowing down from them, accompanied by the thick saliva from his mouth, creating an utterly terrifying appearance
A melodious laugh interrupted Zhang Fengyu's words. This pleasant laughter came from a sweet-looking girl sitting next to Wang Lin. The adorable girl, wearing a white hat, was currently observing him with great interest. However, before Zhang Fengyu could speak, he felt his collar being grabbed by an extremely strong hand, and then he sensed a fist coming at him like a whirlwind.
Wang Lin's words did not lessen the confusion in Zhang Fengyu's eyes; rather, they added to it. He asked again: "Do you also know that there are ghosts in this world? What is the Executor? Is it you who brought me out from that cinema?"
In this carriage of the train, Zhang Fengyu slowly opened his bewildered eyes. As soon as he opened them, the faint light merged with the rusted train shed before him, adding an inexplicable sense of fear to his already confused gaze
Zhang Fengyu only heard the words 'being alive.' As for the so-called death base, he was completely indifferent. After experiencing such terrifying events, he now realizes that there is nothing more beautiful in the world than being alive, and nothing more interesting than boredom. Those who feel the darkness of society or think that life is dull will only understand how desperately they want to live when they truly face death.
Hehe
Zhang Fengyu guessed correctly; from the moment they first saw the movie poster, the curse had already begun. The ghost was originally hidden within the movie poster they received. Regardless of whether they went to see the movie or not, they would still enter the cinema and inevitably step into this haunted house.
The man shook his head, smiled slightly at Zhang Fengyu, and said: "I am not a police officer, and this is not a cinema. My name is Wang Lin, and I am the captain of the executors. You do not need to feel afraid here; there are no ghosts here."
Zhang Fengyu's words came to an abrupt halt, and at that moment, he suddenly thought of the true meaning of a line from a movie. Yet he could not be certain, for Wang Li was nothing but a ghost! But why was it still like this? He actually paused in this moment of life and death, while the ghost on the big screen had already completely left the screen with its feet. In the next moment, the ghost would teleport to his side and kill him. He had no time to hesitate; not speaking meant death! But why was it still like this? He actually paused in this moment of life and death, while the ghost on the big screen had already completely left the screen with its feet. In the next moment, the ghost would teleport to his side and kill him. He had no time to hesitate; not speaking meant death!
The sudden sound caused Zhang Fengyu to momentarily forget his confusion. He was slightly taken aback and turned to look in the direction of the sound, only to see that there were three men and two women sitting neatly on the chair behind him, a total of five people. The one who had spoken earlier was one of the men.
Wang Li, being the most timid among them, merely glanced at the promotional flyer when he received it. Overcome by an inner fear, he avoided the gaze of the boy and casually threw the flyer onto the ground. As a result, the ghost could only follow behind him and could not enter his body. When the group entered the cinema, they intended to buy tickets, but for some unknown reason, they instinctively exclaimed, "How wonderful, we can get in for free with this flyer." Naturally, no one paid attention to Wang Li's flyer, which had actually already disappeared by that time. The ghost from the flyer continued to follow them, holding that very flyer. However, it must be said that Wang Li was truly unfortunate; due to his timidity, he was left behind by the others. When they entered the cinema, they intended to buy tickets, but again, for some unknown reason, they instinctively exclaimed, "How wonderful, we can get in for free with this flyer." Thus, no one noticed Wang Li's flyer, which had already vanished. The ghost from the flyer kept following them, but it must be noted that Wang Li was indeed very unlucky, as his fear led to him being abandoned by the group. Consequently, the rules of the game determined that Wang Li was considered to be fleeing, and as a result, he was naturally killed by the ghost behind him.
What unfolded before him indeed validated his thoughts, as a massive dark green claw suddenly emerged from the promotional flyer, and in an instant, this claw violently plunged into Zhang Fengyu's body, followed by a scream that was utterly heart-wrenching.
If he says the wrong thing, he will die. This cruel choice shattered Zhang Fengyu's nerves in an instant, and his expression had twisted into a grimace. He reached out his fingers towards Wang Li, but ultimately they trembled and pointed at himself. Then he cried out hoarsely: "The ghost is actually hidden within my body! ! ! "
Later, they witnessed Hong Bo's suicide, and after the prince mistakenly selected Zhao Jinglan, no ghost came to kill them. However, they still died because the ghost was hidden within their bodies, making it appear as though they had committed suicide. As for Li Jian, he actively sought death; it was not because he fought against the ghost that he was killed, but rather because he left his designated row and moved to the front row without permission. This was equivalent to not making a choice before the ghost arrived, which the rules regarded as a surrender, and thus he was naturally killed.

Zhang Fengyu did not look at anyone else; he focused his gaze on the man, feeling a mix of fear and confusion. He quietly asked the man, "This is not a movie theater; where is this place? Who are you? Are you the police?"
The ghost is ... ... !
I want to live
Congratulations, newcomer, you have survived
If it were not for the powerful beating of his heart at this moment, he would surely believe that he had already died. The pain in his mind, a lingering result of his earlier mental breakdown, continued to stab at him. The terrifying scenes that had unfolded in the cinema had not yet faded away; the cries of his roommates before their deaths, along with the sudden claw that had reached into his body, incessantly eroded his already fragile nerves.
The ghost is ... ... !
Then, the claw pulled out a mass of flesh and blood from Zhang Fengyu's body and returned to the promotional flyer in front of him. At that moment, a very mechanical voice emanated from the movie poster: "The novice bounty task has been completed. You now have two choices: 1. Return alive to the Death Base; 2. Stay and be killed by the remaining ghosts"
The ghost on the flyer kept following them with that very flyer in hand. However, it must be said that Wang Li was truly unfortunate; due to his timid nature, he was left behind by the others. Consequently, the rules of the game deemed Wang Li to be fleeing, and as a result, he was naturally killed by the ghost behind him. Yet, due to Wang Li's unique choice, the ghost, after killing him, could not disappear. Instead, it could only disguise itself as Wang Li and follow the others, becoming the greatest trap set by the rules, aimed at confusing everyone. Thus, the rules of the game determined Wang Li to be fleeing, leading to his inevitable death at the hands of the ghost behind him. However, because of Wang Li's special choice, the ghost could not vanish after killing him; it could only masquerade as Wang Li, trailing behind the group, established by the rules as the largest trap, intended to mislead everyone.
